LEOPOLD and LOEB
PLEAD NOT GUILTY
TRIAL BEGINS AUG. 4

Chicago, June 11.-Before an inn
petuous crowd that broke a court
room door from its hinges in an eff
fort to see the confessed kidnappers
and slayers of 13-year-old Robert
Franks. Nathan Leopold. Jr., ana
Richard Loeb, millionaires' sons, to-
day pleaded not guilty to charges Of
kidnapping for ransom and murder.
August 4 was fixed as the date Of
their trial.
The youths. 'handcutfed. each
answered mot guilty, sir" to each
of the indictments, their only part
in the Proceedings.
The defense attorneys, headed by
Clarence Darrow, pleaded that pop
ular excitement has embarrassed
their cause but accepted the trial
date set without objection except to
stipulate that they will ask for a
continuance if it is impossible for
them to be ready by that time.
Young Loeb made his appearance
in court to answer to two crimes,
each punishable by death. It was
his nineteenth birthday. He had
planned to sail for Europe today
with Leopold.
Jacob Franks. father of the slain
boy, was also in the courtroom.
The grand jury, which may still
return an additional true bill against
the youths, charging conspiracy to
kidnap and murder, resumed it's in
vestigation shortly after the boys
had been arraigned.
DR.. James p. Hall, dean of the
law school of the University of Chi
cago, was questioned at the state
attorneys office and said he knew
Leopold quite well and that the lat
ter had taken an examination for
entrance to an eastern law school a
few days after the Staying. The ex-
animation papers, which have been
sent to the college, are desired by
the states attorney as further proof
that Leopold was sane when the
crime was committed.

Cleveland, June 11-President Cool
idge has justified the confidence that
INSPIRED" his nomination for vice
president at Chicago, and the great
er confidence reposed in him since
taking up the duties of chief execu-
tive is the Outstanding fact in the
political situation. Frank w. Mon
dell, of Wyoming, declared today in
his address as permanent chairman
of the Republican National Conven-
ton.
Mr.. Mondell added an appeal for
Republican majorities in Congress
"in name and in principle" saying
that every serious fault of recent leg
islation would have been avoided had
the president had that strength in
House and Senate. :
The chairman assailed the Demo-
Gratis for their utter lack of fixed
and definite principle or policy, save
that of undertaking and obstruction"
Referring to the situation in the last
Congress, where insurgents Joined
with Democrats to control legislation.
Mr.. Mondell said that never before
had the necessity for dependable
party majority and definite party re-
sponsibility been SO clearly demon
strated.
He said:
1.-THE American people placed the
stamp of their approval on the can
didates of the last Republican Ma
tional Convention by a majority Of
more than five and half million.
Time and events have abundantly
justified that unparalleled endorse
ment. He who was chosen as the
party standard bearer proves his
craftsmanship in the skillful hand
ling and wise adjustment of impor-
tant and weighty domestic and in
ternattonal questions and problems.
Dtiigent in the Nations business,
wise in public counsel. honest and
courageous in action, he gave himself
unreservedly mind and body, heart
and soul, to the Nation, and became
as truly martyr to patriotic service
as any soldier stricken on the field Of
battle.
How well he fitted and became
the great office to which he was
chosen! History will write his name
high on the roll of able and efficient
executives, but we who knew and
loved him best will cherish most the
recollection of his great and kindly
heart, his tender and sympathetic
soul The Mason mourned him as
one mourns a brother beloved and
enshrined him m the only enduring
hall of fame-the loyal hearts of a
grateful people.
Confidence was the keynote of the
sentiment which inspired the nomi-
nation OF Calvin Coolidge at Chicago
four years ago. That confidence grew
as he modestly performed the duties
OF the position to which he was

in Political Game -
Election Will Take
Place Friday

Paris, June 1.-THE presidential
,tri-color today dropped temporarily
from tho mast Of the Elysee palace
when NJ. Millerand. for nearly four
years the chief executive Of France.
resigned and became a private citi-
zen of the republic.
Some time between 4 and Z o'clock
ON Friday the thirteenth the colors
of a new president elected by the
thirteenth legislature. will be rails
ed to the flagstaff Of the presidential
mansion. The new chief executive
will Immediately proceed to the
formation of q cabinet to succeed
the present ministry Of thirteen
members. OF the presidential pos
abilities thus far mentioned, M.
Painleve, president Of the Chamber
of Deputies, alone Is said to be su-
perstitiously inclined. Tonight, how
ever, he Is declared to be leading for
the presidential post.
NJ. Millerand resigned only after
exhausting every means at his
command to overcome the opposition
of the majority OF the left which nm
ally voted to have nothing to do
with any government which he
headed. In a manifesto issued fol-
lowing his resignation, the retiring
president served notice that he in
tended to remain active in the future
political affairs of the nation and
resume "the fight for liberty for the
republic and for France"
The superstitious votaries among
the deputies and senators had en-
deavored to hurry along the election
OF a new president in order to avoid
what they felt might be an unlucky
combination of thirteen. The fates.
however. ordered otherwise.
NJ. Painleve, thought now to be
the sole avowed candidate and most
likely choice of the coalition of the
Left at a caucus to be held tomor-
row, may have the opposition of
many senators and a good many de-
puties who have declared for M.
Doumergue. president of the senate,
The leaders Of the coalition Of the
Left will endeayor to choke the
Doumerque candidacy by invoking
party discipline and limiting invi-
tations to tomorrow's caucus to
those deputies and senators who
voted to GUST Millerand.
The election Friday takes place
promptly ut 2 o'clock In the afternoon
in the old Chamber of Deputies built
especially for the parliament of the
new republic Of 1875 in the courtyard
OF the chateau at Versailles where
the deputies met from 1875 to 1879.
