Defense Opens Today


Chicago, July 29.-(By A. P.)-
Only the tears which "Dickie" Loeb
shed the night he confessed to his
part in the kidnapping and murder
of 14-year-old Robert Franks re-
manned tonight to complete the case
which the state has presented in
the hearing that is to determine his
punishment and that of his accom-
plice, Nathan Leopold, Jr.
This became known when Robert
E. Grove, states attorney, told
Judge John r. Caverly today that
five minutes would suffice for the IL
nal bit of evidence by which he has
been informing the court of the cir
Cumstances OF the crime. He an
nounced after adjournment that one
of his attaches, who saw Loeb cry
ing when he confessed, would testf-
fly to that fact.
Loeb happened to overhear this
announcement and asked newspaper
men to repeat it. He refused to
comment.
The testimony is intended to DEM
onstrate different reaction to the
crime by Loeb from that which he
has displayed in the courtroom. For
six court days he and Leopold have
followed the states testimony with
Il cool interest that permitted them
to smile and exchange whispered
condolences with each other and
their attorneys, Clarence S. DarrSw
and Benjamin Bachrich. Outside
the court they have been almost
, merry in their demeanor when in
the presence of observers.
Several times today they seemed
studiously to avoid each others
chances. That was when they heard
read for the first time in their con-
LESSONS their counter accusations of
having stunned young Franks with
n chisel and stifled the breath from
his body. Three times today this
circumstance was recited while their
confessions and conversations were
being put into the record and each
time the boys sat immovable, star
; ing straight ahead and giving no
mixing of the answer to this un-
solved riddle.
Just as soon as Mr.. Grove has put
a record of Loeb's emotion before the
Judge, the defense Will begin.
Mr.. Darrows said that DR.. William
\. White, superintendent of St.
Elizabeth's Hospital. Washington, ID.
c., would be his first witness and
that the other defense experts on
mentality and juvenile delinquency
would probably follow. DIR. White
has a reputation rs 4 specialist in
the mechanisms of character form
alton.
IF the defense attempts to show
that these BOYS are insane / will ask
Judge Caverly to empanel jury to
determine that fact" said Mr.. Grove.
repeating an attitude which he took
in court July II when the pleas of
guilty were entered. He made that
statement then when he tried with
out success to get Mr.. Bachrach to
say Whether the plea was being made
for sane or insane persons.
Throughout the states presenta-
ton C evidence the defense has. with
one notable exception. made almost
no cross examination. james J.

 ''The work of the Women's Chris tian Temperance union is just be- ginning" she said. The electorate of the United States needs to know the truth about the benefits of pro- hibition and we must more and more perslstently circulate the confirming evidence. Many good friends of the eighteenth amendment, because url- informed, fail to treat 1t fairly. Although this amendment is not yet five years old, we have reason to be distinctly proud of it. At Fl years of age, the eighteenth amend ment will display the staying quail ties that today, at the age Of four years, some of our citizens unreas- onably expect.
 "We shall not be indifferent to the menace of the would-be sponsors for the eighteenth amendment who 1n' s!stently advocate 2.75 per cent beer those who, If they could have thei' way, would liberalize the Volstead code in the vain hope of commit ting our youthful amendment to thu prison cell of uncertainty.

AMERICA WASTING ALL IT'S GAS FUEL
Vital Resources Not Being Con- served as They Should Be

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. it.--An ap- palling waste of Americas vital na- tural resources makes 1t certain that manufactured gas is destined to be the fuel of the future and to furnish he worlds heat. according to Alex hnder Forward, of New York. secre- kary manager of the American Gas ssociation, who spoke here today at The convention of the national asso- ciation of railroad and utilities com missloners.
 Stating that the nations future is bound up in its fuel supply. MT. Forward said there was no perman- pnt refuge in oil or in water power and that eventually the country would have to draw more and more upon its coal deposits.
 "In five years" the speaker de- clared, 'the fuel requirements Of our Automobiles alone will amount to 25o, 100000 barrels of oil annually, pr more than the total oil output when the World War began. The railroads are now using 5o,Ooo,OOo barrels a year as locomotive fuel. Shortly the tide will turn. Perhaps within ten or 15 years. possibly in much less time. the supply of oil in bur country will be totally insuffi- cient to meet the demand.
 Tt is equally futile for America to bin her hopes to waterpower." MT Forward declared, flor our industri- al plants are now using 60,ooo,ooC Horsepower, and at the present rate pf increase they will need 1oO,OOO,' 900 horsepower in dozen years The most rapid development of Wa terpower which public policy wil permit cannot save enough coal tt even keep up with the increasing demand.
 i've must rely on coal" he stated ''and this despite the fact that b! the year 1e40 we shall in the United States be burning as much coal eacl year as Is now consumed by the en tire population of the earth. Fur thermore, there is no tangible hop of lower coal prices. and it is prac tically certain that the cost will grad ually increase"
 According to Mir. Forward, the 50 lution to the fuel problem lies in tn economical use of coal in the manu factute of gas and such flexibility j. gas rates and gas heating stand er'' as will enable the gas companies c the country to give the greatest ser vice in heat for the least money.
 Instead of uniform gas health standards, the needs of the futur will require flexibility 50 as to per init the individual gas company manufacture and deliver to its GUS toners gas Of such thermal conter las vii make for the greatest amour of conservation.
