to the story that Munding told at the

Judge in Loeb-Leopold
Murder Trial Seriously III

Chicago.-It became known that
Judge John r. Caverly has been a
closely guarded patient in Mercy hos
pital since the close OF the Loeb-Leo
pold murder trial.
The exact nature of his indisposition
has not Leen revealed. But it was
rumored that the judge had fallen the
victim of a nervous breakdown, the
aftermath of the long, waarisome Loeb
Leopold murder trial in which he was
called on to pass judgment upon the
slayers of Robert Franks.
The conflicting storms of opinion
from the public, pressing this way and
that for death by hanging and for
life Imprisonment, together with the
avalanche of letters and telephone calls
directed at the judge during the trial,
are thought to have had a disastrous
effect on his health

JAP5 WIN DEMAND
ATLEAGUE MEETING
Security Protocol Revised
to Meet Tokyo's Request
Adopted.

Geneva.-The revised protocol on ar
bitration and security, including modi-
fications to satisfy the demand of the
Japanese delegation for an amendment,
was unanimously adopted by the arbi-
tratiOn commission of the League of
Nations.
AT the opening session of the full
arbitration commission NJ. Politis of
Greece, as the official reporter, de
clared that the changes made in the
protocol satisfy all The legitimate Jap
anese demands without weakening any
of the guarantees of security which
other states hope to obtain under the
protocol.
NJ. Politis said it was imperative
that the protocol should make pro-
vision to give last chance for a
state which is in dispute with an
other on a domestic question to
settle the quarrel by peaceful means be-
fore declaring that state an ag-
gressor.
Satisfactory to Japs.
Baron Adachi, the Japanese dele
gate, expressed deep appreciation of
the way in which the subcommittee
had handled tie japanese sugges-
tions.
He said that > all of his colleagues
accepted the subcommittee views
Japan would accept them and unani-
nous accord would thus be reached
NJ Loucheur of France said that
it was absurd to think that the Jap
anese amendment was directed against
any particular power. No one, he said,
could suggest that the text drafted by
the representatives of Great Britain,
France and Italy would be directed
against any power. Ee was convinced
that the result would strengthen the
| bonds uniting all.
Protests Follow Leagues Action.
Canadian statesmen commented bit
terly on the victory of the Japanese
in the League of Nations, declaring
| that the Canadian parliament in all
probability will hear much frank OPP
position to the British acceptance of
f, japanese policy.
III AuSlFdlld coHultloES OF ueIenSe
freely were discussed when it became
known that Japan had forced the
League of Nations to accept its dictum
that domestic matters of nation may
come properly before the league.
Congressman Albert johnson in Chi
cago declared the United States
abundantly supported in its position
against the league by the action in
Geneva. Mr.. Johnson is chairman of
the house committee on immigration.

THRIFT, TAXES TOPICS
AT BANKERS MEET

Chicago.-Do you know that saw
ingS deposits alone in the banks of
this country would be almost enough
to pay off the entire debt of the Unit
ed States' Do you know that, in
some conceivable cases, taxes levied
on estates would more than wipe out
the estate?
These were some of the interesting
facts brought out at the opening of
tire fiftieth annual convention of the
American Bankers association. In
fact, the keynote of the opening ses-
sion might be said to be Thrift" and
Taxes" The day was devoted to
committee and section sessions and
to registration at the Congress hotel
The remarkable growth of thrift in
the United States was poiRted out by
Charles II. Deppe, president of the
savings bank division. Savings de-
posits, according TO the last COM
piation in 1923. totaled $1S.373, O62,-
600, which was more than double the
total in 1913, and almost equal the ag-
gregate individual deposits in that
Year.
Teaching of thrift in the public
schools has brought remarkable re-
suits. AT the end of last June there
were 6S3 reporting school savings sys-
TENS representing 9,0S0 schools. APP
proximately 100000 of a total of B.
O95,000 pupils participated in savings,
with collections of $14.991 ,535, and
bank balances of S20,435 IA. Over
5000 bankers are attending the meet
ing.

Prohibition Activities Due
for Strict Censorship

Washington.-A stringent censor
ship on all prohibition news is to be
enforced by Prohibition Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes. The censorship i'm
posed is as rigid as that of 1917 and
1915 but it fails to get the same CO.
operation. Since Mr.. Haynes assumed
office in 1921 all prohibition news and
pronouncements have been surrepti-
tiously censored. If they were not
censored and were not favorable to
the administration of the prohibition
laws they were taboo.
