 personal and sarcastic eloquence upon Dr. Krohn, who has been described as the, lace" of the states corps of alienists. Mir, Darrow said he will end his argument Monday whether I am through or not"
 The aged, but vibrant leader of half a thousand legal battles, again held a crowded court room tense under the spell of his thoughts and words. He talked straight through the half-hoH- day session, scarcely pausing for breath. For the first time since the hearing began five weeks ago, no re- cess interrupted the proceedings, but no one connected with the court gave evidence of noting the omission.
 Listens Intensely Z.
 Judge Caverly took his eyes off the pleader only when a swinging door groaned,. a newspaper writer's chair scraped the floor of some other un- toward sound became audible over the voice. Even when the jurist found his big, heavily upholstered chair uncom- fortable in the summer heat and moved to a lighter piece of furniture, his gaze remained focused on the attorney.
 With equal attention, Loeb and Leo bold and their relatives followed the argument. Loeb, in particularly, kept his eyes rivetted on the slightly stopped man in the baggy gray suit, whose brain aud tongue were busy in trying to save him from tAe- gallows. Leo bold sat tense and metionless. The boys showed no trace of emotionalism which on Friday sent them tremulous and fearful from the courtroom. But there was little in today's, proceedings to arouse such feelings in them
 Proceeding with his argument that the crime was ''so senseless as to be the possible. product of only 2 diseased mind" Mir. Darrow pointed out to Judge Caverly that each detail of the killing, the disposition of the body and the actions afterwards took place un- der conditions that showed lack of mental balance.
 He emphasized particularly that the Kidnapping and killing occurred in the very neighborhoed of the boys homes, where they were known to most any one that might pass. He also stressed the drive of the death car about the busy south side boulevard in broad day light and that they followed the main arteries to travel to the section where they disposed of the body.
 ''For Nothing
 "If every death vehicle went oyer the same kind of route driven 'by sane people, never heard of it, and I fancy no one else ever has," he said, and rub ping his gray locks as if to bring out an adequate explanation for such act, he added: "Why did they. do it? For nothing. The mad act of King Lear is the only thing ] know to compare with it. Yet some of the doctors here have declared it a sane act"
 The .pleader mentioned that Loeb had helped newspaper reporters who worked on the case, when it was still in the mystery stage.
 'Was that criminal?' He asked, and

The Senate will be compelled to accede to the wishes of the House and terminate the long and bitter controversy in accordance with the desires of apparently a vast majority of the people of the country, or leave the problem no nearer a solu, tion than it was ten years and more ago.

 In the meanwhile, the country will have been informed as to those condi. tions of the Ford offer to which the conservative wing of the republican party, that over which the President yields Influence, has lodged objection The President and Mir. Ford will have been made aware of what concessions complete victory will depend. At that moment, according to what is under, stood here, Mir. Ford will inform the President in what particulars he will agree to amend. It is believed that the amended offer will have smooth and expeditions sailing to harbor.

of Dr. Krohn that Mir. Darrow trained his heaviest guns. He mentioned at one time that ''the state put on three ex- perts and Dr. Krohn." then immedi- .ately changed this to 'three alienists and Dr. Krohn." He continued to make this sly distinction between expert" and "alienist" at every mention of the doctor. The capabilities of the other doctors summoned by the state were ex- tolled and he said frankly that if Mir. Grove had not hired two of them first, he would have tried to secure their serv- ices for the defense.
 Early in his address he thundered that whereas Che boys had no adequate ly explanable motive for the murder, Dr. Krohn had one for testifying that they were mentally sound.
 "Cash!" ,ff,
 '"That motive was cash" he said, crashing out the last word in voice that penetrate the corridors.
 MT. Darrow depicted the activities of a ''reaI physiciaI' in striving ever to save human life, proceeding carefully and with the idea of relieving human suffering despite personal sacrifices.
 Then he turned the canvas.
 ''Dr. Krohn has not been a physician, but for sixteen years he has used his license in going up and down the land. hanging victims. by his testimony. He told the story of the June first meeting between the state alienists and these boys. That was not an investigation, it was an inquest. cannot imagine any real physician dedicated to humanity and the alleviation of human sufferings. gloating over such testimony as Dr. Krohn."
 Mir. Darrow left this thought with the judge, asking at this point that court adjourn until Monday.

 Ratification Seems Safe.
 Tonight the governments prospects of obtaining a decisive majority for tba ratification of the London pact are viewed as highly favorable, espe- ciaIly as the Hergt-Von Tirpitz party has not yet succeeded in uniting its reichstag delegation on 6 definite at titude.
 Meanwhile, scores of protesting tele- ad deleeations from the Ruhr represent ing, political, civic. social, industrial and labor organizations, regardless of partisan utilization, are bombardlng the reichstag with petitions demanding an unequivocal ratification of the agree ment on the Dawes plan reached in London.
 Urged By Industrialists.
 The industrialists and "big busi- ness" generally also are impressing upon nationalists the imperitive neces- sity of accepting the governments drafts on the Dawes bills and the Lon don protocol.
 All the reichstag parties will debate the measures necessary for putting the Dawes plan into effect, Monday and Tuesday, after which a vote on ratifi- cation will be taken, If the government fails to obtain the needed majority, it is proposed to dissolve the reichstag. If this is done, President Ebert will em- ploy the -Stresemann ministry to ratity the London pact. The latter expedient, however, is now viewed as an extreme .eyentuality, as the parlia- mentary situation is expected to take turn favorable to the government be- fore Tuesday,

HERRIOT OFFERS
TO QUIT RUHR IN
ELEVEN MONTHS
French Seek Another
Confab on Debts

LONDON, Aug. 11.-There is grow
ing optimism here over Herriot's sue
cess with the French cabinet, in secur-
ing an endorsement of what trans
pired in London with reference to
putting the Dawes plan into opera
ton.
But counting the chickens before
they are Matched is a hazardous tho
popular political pastime and there
are elements in France that have not
yet made manifest their views on the
the agreement reached in London.
The crux of the situation so far as
the French and Germans are con-
cerned, is the evacuation of the Ruhr
Premier Herriot made a new PROPOSE
ton, that the evacuation of the Ruhr
be completed within eleven months
provided the Germans carry out their
part of the plan. The Germans coun-
tered with a proposition that evacu-
alton be completed within six months

What will happen to the Coolidge
government in the next election, be-
cause of it's unauthorized participation
in the London conference and its com
hitting the United States to future
European political and financial en-
tanglements, will be an interesting
subject for speculation, in view of
the fate of Woodrow Wilson's failure
with similar plan. Whether the
bankers are now sufficiently powerful
to do what they failed to do in 1920
is the question.
To Drop Debts.
The French are now demanding a
conference to deal with Allied war
debts. The suggestion is maze that
this conference be held in November
after the American elections, so that
in the event of Coolidge being elect
ed, the United States could officially
participate. In fact, official partici-
patton of the United Safes would be
assured. No matter which OF the two
Wall Street boys is elected, both be-

IOLlpdLlSo dllu AllSl ACcll Udnh0'
Nothing like it on so grand a
scale has ever been attempted.
Thru the Pan-American union
and the U. S. highway educa-
ton board, each one of 20
South and Central American repub-
lies was induced to send from one to
three highway engineers to this coun-
try. The party, numbering about so
technologists, studied highway sys-
TENS in New York, Pennsylvania, the
Carolinas, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Michigan, the District of Column
bia, and Illinois. They visited the
highway engineering laboratories at
the University of Wisconsin and
Michigan to learn how highway en-
gineers are trained in this country.
To Sell More Autos.
The reason for the costly survey
was the over-production Of automo-
biles in the United States. The Ford
Motor Co. today is working only three
to five days a week. The automotive
industry of the United States wants
new markets. But before there is a
large market in South and Central
America there must be pavements
there. At present goat paths are
more common.
The capitalists decided to sell Lat
in-America the idea of good roads.
The magnitude of the sale is indicated
by an Argentine representative who
said that in his country $350,O00,OOO
would be necessary at once if the
highways were even moderately mod
ernized. Argentina is the best equip
ped of the 20 republics.
Official Puppets Greet Them.
The visiting Representatives were
led first to the white house where
President Coolidge and Herbert
Hoover welcomed them. Government
officials accompanied the party thru
the states visited. But financial in
terests paid the bills. The majordomo
of the tour was Roy d. Chaplin, chair
man, Hudson Motor Co., and vice.
president OF the q. S. automobile
chamber Of commerce.
The visiting engineers were aware
that corporations were financing the
tour. But they did not see thru most
of the tricks of the resourceful sales
men Of the north. One of the sales
men, perhaps Chaplin himself, was
shrew enough to suspect the Latin
Americans would enjoy music,-a
kind of sales-talk that would not, of
course, be given to an American en-
gineer. Arrangements were made for
Spanish church services.
Ford Cordial Salesman.
Henry Ford, his son Edsel, and the
most glib of his executives were
hosts to the party at a luncheon in
the Ford Motor Co. private dining
room in Detroit. The sale was be-
lieved important enough to justify
Henry Ford himself playing salesman
awhile. The South and Central Am
erican engineers are expected to prop
agandize at home for better roads.
Next spring in Buneos Aires a Pan
American highway conference will be
held. The engineers who made the
study in this country are to be the
official program committee of the con-
ference. Many manufacturers and fl
nanciers from the United States will
therefore be on the program.
