 LOCATE MADDOX
Foul Play Theory Aban- doned Suspects In Case
 Arc Released

Mrs. Elmer Maddox of Mobile. mother of Elmer Maddox, Jr., for whom police and friends in Birming- ham have been making city-wide search following his disappearance Thursday night, is en route to Bir- mingham to confer with police author ities, according to dispatches from The Age-Herald's Mobile bureau Monday night.
 Young Maddox was employed as cashier at the Birmingham branch of the Cudahy Packing company of Chi cago. who Monday afatea that auditors
 asdsss.e ofgies onad he in Birmingham within the next day or two to make a complete audit of the books of the company here. 4 pre- limihary investigation, made by local officials, is said to, have disclosed no apparent reason to suspect a shortage in accounts.
 Mistaken Identity
 What are believed to have been cases of mistaken identity were reported to D31ACG NADt4UaN NbEA u AOCtA 6d1ESlt1H declared he Sold Maddox a suit of clothes Saturday morning. Another of Maddox's aequaintances declared he slapped a stranger on the back after having mistaken him for Maddox. The stranger told him, he said, it was the fifth or sixth time the same thing had occurred that day.
 Opinions expressed Monday by close personal acquaintances of Maddox that the missing man is in Mobile were dis counted by police following adyices that his mother is en route to Birmingham to aid in the search.
 D. H. Moreland and Annie Mae Brown, held under tentative charges of murder for questioning in the case were released Monday on orders from Chief of Police McDuff after it was declared that police have practically abandoned the murder theory. The Brown woman declared that she. Nell Smith, Maddox and another man formed a party which she said re- suited in finding a rented Ford in front of Maddox's boarding place, 1901 Thirty-first street, north, early Friday morning. The car had been driven 211 miles.
 Denial of the story told by the Brown woman and abandonment of the mur- der or foul play theory, resulted in the release of the persons held in con nection with the case. Meanwhile de- tectiyes were carrying on an intensive search in the hopes of finding some clue of the missing man, or a motive which would account for his disappear anPR

Not Sane Nor Insane, Says Second Alienist
 OfConfessed Slayers
Dr. Healy Recalls To Court Secret Compact That Bound The Lives Of Leopold And Loeb By Unbeatable Chains-Crowe Still Insists He Has Hanging Case

Healy was first appraised of the agree ment by Leopold, he testified. Later, after he had questioned the young multi-millionaire's son at length, he clicited from him a story that shocked him, he admitted. He regarded the manner in which the two youths bound themselves, as a part of their scheme to find excitement, as clearly a devel- opment of their unhealthy dream life, their persistent fantasies, he said.
 The portion of Dr. Healy's testi- mony relating to the pact and a tran scription of the agreement itself were made part of the secret archices of the Franks case. A case already re- plete with material that always will be kept hidden from the public, the au- thorities declare, because of it's nature.
 Loeb corroborated Leopold's informa- tion, Dr. Healy continued, and added that the two youths has entered into their agreement with an eagerness that in itself was indictive of abnormal pf v- sical and mental conditions on the part of both. The agreement, which both had sworn forever to keep secret, portrayed in a cold and unemotional manner the actual defire of the two young experimenters with human emo- tions to find new and hidden paths on which they might stray for an intensive development of their physical and mental abnormalities.
 When Dr. Healy reached the portiO.7 of his testimony dealing with their pact, an element in the case hitherto

BRITISH PLANE 0UITs
MacI.aren Out Of WsrId Race With
 Damaged Craft

MaeIAaren Out OF W9rAd R4ce Wa6A
 Damaged Craft
 CORDOVA, Alaska, Aug. 4-Eng- land has dropped out of the rOuna-the- world air race. Maj. A. s. N. Mae Laren has been defeated by the eae- ments and by bad luck in the northern Pacific, and his plane is.so badly dam aged that he has abandoned the flight, according to radiOgrams from MacLarea himself to the United States naval radio station here.
 MacLaren's big Amphibian plane. in which the gallant British aviator had fodght his way more than half the distance around the world, met disaster when alighting in a heavy fog on a choppy sea at Nikolski, in the Koman- dorsd islands, off KamchAtka-
 The heavy fog, which settled sudden Iy along the route the British plane was following. thickened on the flight from Petropavlosk, Kamehatka to NikOlski. when MacLaren was almost within sight of a cove where he could bring his plane safely to the water. The Amphibian settled heavily, smashing the wing float and tail unit and putting the plane completely out of cOmmis- sion.
 Although the British cruiser Thiqpval which was serving as convoy and mother ship for the MacLaren expedition, was supposed to carry enough spare parts to repair the plans, MacLaren's mes sage said that the parts needed are not available. ''The machine is so serious ly damaged that it is necessary to abaR- don the flight; returning to Vancouver (B. CD aboard the Thiepval," " Mac Laren's message said
 The British pilot and his crew were able to save the hull, gears and motor of the big plane. The ThiepVal sailed from Petropavlovsk at Il 30 am. Au- gust 1, when word reached her that MacLaren's plane had been damaged while landing at NikOlski. Tlie message Monday from the Thiepval Is supposed to be the decision reached after a con- ference between MacLaren and mechan- ies aboard the Thiepval. The British world flight started from CaishOt, Eng Iand. March 25.

RUHR FREEDOM IS MAIN ISSUE
 BEFORE GERMANS
Reich EnvOys To Hear Terms At Downing
 Street Today
IRx Aasociatsd Prnasl . ]

LONDON, Aug. 4.--German opposi tion to the program for launching tho Dawes plan, which the interallied con. ference has ready to lay before Chan. cellor Marx and his colleagues at noon tomorrow is not expected to be di- rected in the main against the actual agreements arrived at in the Downing street conference room, but rather against an issue which has kept en- tirely outside of the conference, that of military execution of the Ruhr.
 According to q high American author ity there are only two points in the program to which the Germans can raise even a technical objection. One is the extension of deliveries in kind of coke, dyes and coal beyond the Yer sailles treaty date of 1880. The other is arbitration of the question whether financial maneuvers are taking place in Germany to defeat the functioning of the Dewes plan.
 Hardly Justified
 On technical grounds both of these objections would have to be considered according to the American expert who is considered to have the greatest ex- perience of the Dawes plan. Extension of deliveries in kind beyond 1880 were anticipated neither in the treaty nor in the Dawes plan. Under the new regime how s.-, such deliveries are to be paid for by the funds of the agent general and Lot by Germany as heretofore so that the German objections could hard ly be justified, according to the Ameri- can authority.
 Similar technical objections could be raised on the other point, but this would be an admission that financial maneuvers to frustrate the provisions of the Dawes plan are going to take place in Germany.
 Despite the absence of moral grounds for objection to the work of the inter- allied conference the Americans be- lieve these two points will be raised by Dr. Stresemann, the German foreign minister, unless an agreement is reached on the question of military evacuation of the Ruhr. If a satisfactory settle ment is forthcoming on this issue, the belief prevails that the Garmans will not mention other tenchnical issues.
 Guests Of England
 The German delegation will arrive in London tomorrow morning and be quar- tered in one of London's finest hotels as the guests of the British govern ment. They will proceed to Downing street at noon for a plenary session of the conference.
 The documents which the conference has drawn up will be formally pre- sented to the Germans for their con sideration ofter which the conference will adjourn to reassemble again in plenary session on Wednesday, when the Germans will be requested to state their views on the program the con ference has adopted for inaugurating the new separations era. At a meet ing of the chief delegates this morning little progress apparently was made toward a solution of the Ruhr railway problem. This, however, is considered q minor issue.

By H.H. ROBERTSON, (Leased Wire to The Herald ]

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 4.-Pil- grims in search of thrills and slaves of dreams, Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb bound themselves together in weird pact that had a significant relation to the murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks.
 This alleged compact, of sinister and almost unbelievable nature, was introduced in evidence Monday be- fore Chief Justice John R. Caverly by Dr. William healy of Boston. The physician was the second alienist put on the witness stand by Clarence s. Darrow, chief defense counsel, in the effort to save the 19-year-old slayers from the gall lows.
 The agreement disclosure came just before the alienist testified that Leopold, in his opinion, as a paranoid, was a sufferer fro a form of mental dise&se," the physi- clan said.
 Would you say he was insane?" Grove asked.
 'No," replied the witness. He is neither sane nor insane"
 Not Read In Court
 So revolting were portions of the agreement made by these two intellec- tuals that Justice Caverly did not al- low it to be read in open court. A copy was retained by the defense. Dr.
