less computation which was necessary Il years after he had begun. Now he his established for all time just how the fifth satellite moves from the flaming planet Jupiter, which is some 465 mil lion miles away from the earth.
 The astronomer was asked if the fact he has established has the slightest effect on anything that might interest the average man.
 "No," he answered.
 He was asked then what was the use of all of his work
 May Mean Much
 Because no knowledge ever gained in the world is lost" he said. No body knows what may lie behind the answer to the orbit of the fifth satellite of Jupiter. It may mean nothing. It may contain the element of some great undiscovered mathemati- cal law that, would have a very great effect on the world indeed.
 Tt was by pursuing apparently aim less paths in astronomy that Newton discovered the law of gravity on which so much of modern science is founded It was by the same method that Fin stein's law was discovered.
 Incidentally, Robertson is the worlds official calculator of eclipses, determining years ahead to an accuracy of few seconds just when they will happen. His work is so exact that mo- body, else ever bothers about it. His calculations are accepted by astronom- CTS all over the world.

LEGION FORCES READY TO OPEN
 ST. PAUL MEET
Further Reform In Vet eran's Bureau To Be
 Urged

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 14.-Over rail and road, thousands of memers of the American Legion came into St. Paul today ready for the opening tomor- row of the five-day national encamp- ment. It will be the sixth annual con- vtntion. and it's sessions will be held within ten miles of the hall that saw the legion's organization, for the 1919 meeting was held in Minneapolis.
 Tonight hotel Hobbies and street cor ners buzzed with the excitement incl dent to a meeting of men who fought side by side in France or bunked un- der the same roof in army camps in this country.
 Meanwhile preliminary business of the convention went its ordered way, various committees meeting on schedule, discharging pressing tasks at hand and tonight everything was declared in readiness for the opennig session of the convention at 9 80 a. n. .
 Searching examinations" of the cen tral office board of appeals and the planning section of the Veterans Blu reau is recommended in resolution prepared today by the national. rehab- ilitation committee which will submit it's report to the convention committee. Though expressing qualification with the increased efficiency with which the Veterans Bureau has functioned dur ing the past year" the committee "be- lieves there still is room for great inn provement in certain departments"
 The resolution, declares General Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau, inherited many faults and weaknesses in the bureaus personnel and urges inefficient employees" in the two de- partments named be "weeded out and replaced with ex-service men of known ability"
 Members of the legion executive com mittee today decided to ask Congress for the interest on the $400,000 unex- pected profits of the Stars and Stripes" published in France during the war, this interest to be used in decorating graves of the 30,000 American soldiers buried in France.
 Meeting simultaneously will be the conventions of the American Legion Auxiliary, an organization of legion naires daughters, sisters and mothers, and the 40 and 8 Society, the play ground of the legion. Each organiza- tion has its own convention hall.
 Most of the delegates who arrived to- day and tonight were too busy looking up former comrades to give much at tention to politics but there seemed agreement that for the first time in le- zion history, there is no one outstand- ing candidate for national commander Several cities are seeking the 1925 convention but the more evident cam paigns are being waged by Fort Worth, Texas; Louisville, and Omaha. Bos. ton, Philadelphia and Seattle are de- clared desirous of landing the 1926 convention and today the executive committee received an invitation from Premier Herriot of France inviting the legion convention to Paris in 1928, the decennial anniversary of the signing of the armistice.

JOLIET WARDEN READY FOR PLEA
 TO SHIFT BOYS
Insanity Cases Taken Care Of In Prison,
 Whitman Says

JOLIET, H., Sept. 14.-It will be most unfortunate if Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb should go in sane under the stress of confinement at Joliet penitentiary-but that won't get them out.
 Warden John l.. Whitman wishes to make this plain following reports from Chicago that Clarence Darrow's pre- diction of ultimate lunacy for the sleek haired youngsters who murdered Robbie Franks was merely forecast of move to get the two into some nice private asylum where one would at least not have to eat beef stew in a two-by-four cell even though one. might not have his complete freedom.
 Asylum Not Needed
 Should the two thrill" slayers lose their minds they will be treated within the prison walls and not even sent to the state asylum for the criminal in sane at Chester, H., according to Whitman.
 .We take care right here of all those who go insane," the warden ex- plained. Even if they are violent, we keep them.''
 Darrow had declared that he had been anxious to keep the youths out of the Chester asylum because contact with the lunatics there would only have hasten their mental collapse.
 Learn To Work
 "Dickie" and Babe" went to work Saturday. Babe learned the elemen- taries of rattan weaving. He is going to design and make wicker furniture for a very indefinite period. 'Dickle, who has a stronger constitution, was sent to the cabinet making shop, where oyerseers essayed to teaching him how to make skeleton frames for the wicker chairs.
 "They seem anxious to do. what IS r;pbt and haven't made a serious mis- take vet" Warden Whitman said. If they continue in that manner, their tasks will be much easier as time goes ioY, D

NEGRO OPENS FIRE:
 ELUDES OFFICERS
Member Of Gaming Party Be-
 lieved Wanted Elsewhere

Deputy sheriffs and policemen Sun day continued to look for an unidenti- fled negro believed to have been shot in crap game Saturday when he open ed fire on Officers Walker and Will Hams while making his escape as they were raiding the game, at alley B be- tween Twentyfirst and Twenty-second streets.
 The negro was a stranger to the gamers caught in the raid, they told the officers, and it is believed that he is wanted by the police somewhere.
 As they broke in on the game, the negro ran. The officers started to pur- sue him when the negro opened fire. They returned the fire until the negro disappeared.
 Later residents in the neighborhood reported that the negro was seen run ming down an alley with blood stream ing at his side. A lookout is being kept for him at the hospitals.

MILITARY JUNTA
 ADDS NEW FUEL
 TO CHILE CHAOS
Political Institutions Of Country Have Ceased
 To Exist
lRy Associated Press l

SANTIAGO, Chile: Sept. 14.- Chile's political institutions have ceased to exist, their duties having been taken over by a military govern ment council made up of Gen. Luis Altamarino as vice president and Gen. Juan Pablo Bennett and Vice Admiral Juan Neff and a civilian cabinet of six secretaries, headed by Alcibiades Roldan. This state Of affairs is the outcome of political happenings which culiminsted in the recent overthrow of the government of President Ales- sandri.
 President Alessandri was elected in 1920 when it was hoped he would be able to effect the regeneration of the nation and improve existing condi- tions. He met with much opposition in parliament and was obliged to change his cabinets frequently. Often his ministries lasted just long enough to go before parliament with legislative programs mad meet defeat. This led to political Reorganization and through the government continued to push its measures in parliament, little progress was made. When the government failed to get parliamentary approval for some of it's recent measures the situation took a sudden change and the military and naval chiefs took matters into their own hands.
 The resignation of President Ales- sandri, which followed, created some manifestations of sympathy while in certain quarters there was outward protestation. Then the military took power, making it clear that they did not aspire to remain in control, but would continue only long enough to assure that proper authorities were chosen by the people and installed in office.
 Relative calm was maintained and many of the workmen were won over promising 10 remain law abiding so long as their liberty of action was not infringed. Meanwhile the military junta continued to develop it's pro gram. Plans are being made for the establishment of a new constitutional government, or the drawing up of a new constitution and the election oi new parliament.

By RAYMOND CHAPTER By Leased Wire to Age Herald

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The us- usual lethargy which has characterized this campaign promises to be broken when President Coolidge and Senator La Toilette get into their speech-making activities.
 La Toilette goes to New York this week for big speech at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. This will be his first speech to a mass meet ing since he was nominated. His only other set address was made by radio on Labor Day. La Toilette expects. to outdo both of the other candidates in speech making before the campaign is over, but he is postponing his start as long as possible, being great believer in eleventh hour drives. He would have deferred his Madison Square appearance until later, except for difficulty in ob- taining the Garden on any subsequent date. After this speech, there will be another pause before he gets out be- fore the country.
 Health Is Secondary.
 La Toilette wants to go to the coast during October. He is having some diff ficulty in converting his friends to this program, for some of them feel it would be too great a drain on his strength. But La Toilette is set on going out on the stump and is not likely to be over ruled by any counsel of caution. He is making the last great political fight of his life and his heart is so deeply in it that health is secondary in his mind
 La Toilette wantss to tour the north west, where his best chance of gather ing electoral votes is to be found. Dem. ocats have virtually abandoned that territory. If La Toilette carries it, the election probably will be thrown into Congress-with the likely defeat of Coolidge there.
 Coolidge Is Restive.
 Coolidge also wants to get out for some speeches. He would like. to go as far west as Kansas City, making half dozen addresses at major cities en route, but avoiding any semblance of rear-platform transforming tour. Chairman Butler would prefer to have Coolidge stay in Washington and talk by radio. But the president resents the charge of Senator Wheeler that he is afraid to show himself in the country. His big reception at Baltimore, demo- cratic center, last week, whetted his appetite for the stump.
 He goes to Philadelphia week fr4m Thursday on the 13Oth anniversary of the meeting of the continental con. gress. Next Sunday he addresses the convention of the Holy Name society here.
 Davis works his way east this week with speeches at Bunceton, Mo-, Des

PASTOR RELATES WHIPPING STORY
 AT BIG MEETING
Accused Of Circulating False Statements,
 He Says
lRessemer Rnreaul

BESSEMER, Ala, September H. Rev. John McCarty, pastor of the Brighton M k. church, Sunday after noon made q public statement in con- nection with a whipping said to have been administered him Saturday night at his home by Mrs. Glee Sharp, wife of Mayor Henry M. Sharp. The state ment was made at a political mass meeting at which approximately 1000 persons were assembled.
 According to Dr. McCarty, he was sitting in his study about 10 o'clock preparing his Sunday school lesson when someone knocked at his door. Upon answering the call he found Mrs. Sharp at the door, he said, and was ac- cused by her of circulating false state ments about her husband, who is can didate for reelection to the mayoralty. Dr. McCarty said that he refused to discuss the matter with Mrs. Sharp, but, due to her insistence, stepped out into the yard.
 Here Mrs. Sharp is reported to have produced a whip which, according to Dr. McCarty, had been hidden in the grass by the gate, and proceeded to ap- ply it. Dr. McCarty said that he had no political utilization whatever.
 Feeling between the two factions in city politics, one of which is led by the present incumbent, H. M. Sharp, run ming on an independent ticket, and the other by Leonard P. Edmundson, brother of Capt. Lacey Edmundson of the board of revenue. is at high pitch.
 At Mondays election the city will ballot on the following tickets: Reg ular democratic ticket, for mayor, L. P Edmundson for aldermen, J. K. Ed wards, c. l.. Farley, E. B. Knight, Nor man Coster and Carey Moore. Inde- pendent ticket, for mayor, H. NJ. Sharp for aldermen, J. c. Duffy, J. J. Scott, J. c. Warren, H. J. Wilkes and D. O.

Astronomer Works " Years
 To Settle An Old Score
Naval Observatory Expert Establishes Orbit Of
 Jupiter Satellite

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-After II years of laborious work, James Robert son, astronomer at the naval observa- tory, has established the orbit of the fifth satellite of Jupiter, which is just an infinitesmal mass of light even through a telescope, swirling about the planet Jupiter.
 A thorough check by. scientists has just proved that Robertson was right, and he is now receiving the acclaim of the nine or ten astronomers who really understand what he has accom- plished.
 In successfully completing his job Robertson has settled a score against renowned astronomer tutor, Simon Newcome, who was head of the naval observatory here when Robertson was young man. =
 It all goes back to his college days Robertson went to the University of Michigan 25 years ago and became interested in astronomy.
 Given Hard Task
 Newcome heard of his work, and called him here. The old scientist had n habit of assigning to his students the most difficult tasks, which he never expected them to accomplish. He assigned Robertson to the job of es- tahlishing the orbit of the fifth satellite of Jupiter, which had just been dis covered. Robertson went to his task. He went aboard to confer with leading astronomers on the continent.
 Finally, he finished the almost end
