the Daily Mail said editorially
today:

Leopold and Loeb is causing
their trial TO be followed with

The Mail criucises the mo

psyche analysis endeavoring to
save the accused from facing a
jury and to enable them to es-
cape the proper penalty on the
convenient plea Of insanity.
The danger to the public in
this dubious science here is

French Concessions Speed
Work at ReparationS
Conference.

By United Press
LONDON, Aug. 1.-Maintaining
momentum impaired by French con
cessions, the inter-allied conferences
reached agreement in committee to-
day on subject oil possible modifica-
ton of the experts plan.
Committee No. 8, however, struck
a stone wall when It came TO the
question of arranc ,ng for cash de
liveries instead of deliveries in kind
in case the latter became too heavy
for France.
Adjournment Taken
Unable to agree, the committee
adjourned for lunch, to meet again
late today. If the deadlock on this
question of cash 6eliveries-one Of
the new points raised by the French
delegation-is maintained, the mat
ter will be referred to the chief DELE
gates, who will try to settle 1t in
time to send an invitation to the
Germans tonight, inviting them to
the conference.
Col. Jaes A. Logan Jr. OF the
American delegation Is given most
credit for contributing to smooth
ness and dispatch with which the
first committee Of the conference ap-
proved a proposal that successive
tribunals must declare Germany has
wilfully defaulted befoFe France or
any one else takes any separate &C
ton.
1t is believed this will prevent rep
etition Of a Ruhr affair, although
French purpose in preparing more
than one tribunal was, Of course,
exactly the opposite.
Invasion Unlikely

ent circumstances France would ex.
ercise her .prerogative to separate
action, should the impartial tribun

posal accepted by Committee No. !
is TO have the reparations commits

that DR.. Bernard Loder, president

CURB GASOLINE
PUMP QUESTION
PROBED BY F|X|T
Citizens Complaint That
Law Is Violated Given
to Officials.
to Officials,

THE question Of curb gasoline
pumps on city property has
been brought to Exits at
tention by Times readers.
Why are some garages and filing
stations permitted to install and
operate these pumps on street
curbs?
Proper city officials have been in
formed of this law violation, and
the situation has been called to
Mayor Shank's attention. Con-
fiscation of the pumps by police is
being considered.
F4xlt continues to have many
complaints from citizens having
business at the city hall. Write
yours to him in care of The Times.
ERE are answers:
I'LL MR.. FIXIT-After seeing a
gasoline pump installed along
the curb, I spent two days at
city hall trying to do the
same thing. Nothing doing. It
was against the law. How do they
do it? The pump was at 100 Oil
yer Ave.
KNOCKED OUT"
Francis F. Hamilton, city
building commissioner, admits
the justice OF your complaint,
but said his department can
not issue a permit in direct vio-
lation Of law. Owners of these
pumps installed them without a
permit and are liable to prosecu-
ton, he said.
In the Bell administration the
police seized curb pumps and
carried them to the city yards.
Mayor Shank has been informed
Of the present situation and
promises to investigate.
The board of works, having
regulation Of streets, has prom
ised to take up the matter with
police. Meanwhile, if the law
is not enforced. your rights to
install curb pump are the same
as other citizens.

Executive Council Recon-

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. l.
The first official step toward in
dorsement Of the presidential can
didacy of Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette was taken here today at the
opening session Of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor.
A report recommending the gov
erning council. advise laborers Of
the nation to cast their ballots for
the independent ticket and against
two major parties was offered by the
special political committee.
This committee is headed by
Samuel Gompers, dictator Of labor
policies in the past, and the weight
Of its suggestion is so great 1t Is
reasonable to believe it may prevail
as the decision OF the entire council.
Consideration of the report is the
first business before the council of
eleven labor chleftains which as

Final decision Of the council is

There is prospect of tiff on the

the members are opposed to such a
step and believe the federation
should follow a hands-off policy in
the campaign.
The report OF the political com
mittee, which goes under the title Of
the non-partisan political campaign
committee of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, gives complete sane
ton to the domestic policies OF La
Toilette, but it is admitted his for
eign policies do not coincide with
the Federations desires. La Fol

broadening the lines.
Now, what occurs with the
light Of the two stars, just de-
scribed, occurs also with the
light from a body, like the sun.

ward US at the same time that
the opposite side IL moving away.
The effect must be to broaden
the spectral lines in the sunlight.
But il we hide one.half Of the
sun, so as to receive the light
only from the side which ID
either approaching or receding,
we shall see the lines not broad
ened but shifted either toward
the red or the violet, as the case
may be. By the amount Of the
shift we may estimate the speed
Of the suns rotation.
: Now, let us go back to the re-
volving stars. II they are rotat.
ing on their axes as well as re-
volving around one another, 1t is
possible to detect such rotation
by the spectroscope, provided
that the alternate shifting of the
lines can be clearly revealed.
But q star is only bright point
Of light in the telescope, showing
no measurable disk, so that we
cannot hide one.half Of 1t az we
can hide half Of the sun.
But here the lucky eclipse
comes into play. Our Figure No.
Q illustrates how 1t acts to render
first one side and then the other
BILE, by enabling the spectroscope
to deal with the two sides sopa-
rately.
Observe that the dark star
(which is not entirely dark
eclipses the bright star by COM
ing on in the same direction in
which that star land doubtless
the dark star also) Is rotating on
it's axis. The direction Of this
rotation is shown by the curved
arrow. When nearly half Of the
bright star on that side where
its rotation Is more or less earth
ward, has been hidden, only the
light from the opposite, or re-
treating, side is dealt with, and
in this the lines are shifted to-
ward the red. But after the
eclipsing dark star has passed
across so that the right.hand side
is hidden and the left.hand side
uncovered, the same lines are
shifted toward the violet. Thus
the eclipse aids the astronomer
by enabling him TO observe sep
arately and alternately the tell
tale shifting to and fro OF the
lines, and so to obtain much
clearer evidence of the rotation
of the star than the mere broad
ening of it's lines would furnish.
The observations above de-
scribed only in principle, have
been made by r.. A. Rossiter Of
the University of Michigan with
reference to Beta Lyrae, and by
Dean B. Mclaughlin with refer
ence to Algol. They are Of ex.
IRENE delicacy because they must
be disentangled from the effects
due to the revolution Of the stars
around one another.
