testifying that Loeb was nervous
and rather childish This opinion
was based more on the youth Of
Loeb than anything else, Levy said.
On cross examination, Grove en-
phasized the fact that Leky's est
mate Of Loeb was based almost
wholly on the fact Dickie was
younger than other students at the
University
Grove also drew from the wit
ness an admission that when Dick
frothed at the mouth he was intoxi-
| Gated and that young Loeb was cen
sured by his fraternity for repeated
drunkenness. Grove then excused

Former Sweetheart

uled to come to 'Dickie's" defense.
She too, is a former sweetheart
Germaine is an artists model and
stenographer. Lorraine met Loeb in
1921. while Germaine met the youth
about two years later at a Bohemian
gathering.
Both agree that "Dickie" had a
! lovable personality and agree he
is not wholly responsible for his part
in murder of Robert Franks. Ia
year-old school boy.
In mitigation Of punishment,
Lorraine testified Loeb acted in
most peculiar manner; that he was
almost childish at times. She
summed him up as irrational
She did not change her testimony
bit when States Attorney Crows
intimated he might make a charge
of perjury against her because of
the totally different story she told
him in a statement made shortly
after arrest Of the youths.
Grove Charges Perjury
She maintained her composure
when Grove asked her point-blank
whether she lied when you made
the statement to us or whether You
are lying now?"
Germaine's testimony is expected
to be along the lines of Lorratne's
story. Germaine may amplify 1t a
bit, as 1t is understood that Loeb
paraded imaginary deeds of bravery
before her in an effort to impress
her with his daring.

Dear Mr. Scripps:
Your letter of Aug. 1 received.
You ask where l stand on the Ku-
Klux Khan. Similar inquiries have
come to me from others. I take the
liberty OF making my answer to you
public. This will inform all those
interested in knowing my attitude
on this question.
But first and before all else, I am
bound to say that in my view the
one dominant, all-embracing issue in
this campaign is to break the COM
bined power of the private monopoly
system over the political and eco
nomic life of the American people
This power controls every i'm
portant branch of industry-mining
manufacturing and transportation.
1t controls markets and credits and
dictates the price of every product
ecessary to feed, clothe, warm and
shelter the human family. To cor
troll that which sustains life is 10
control life itself. This is economic
slavery. Free government cannot
long exist side by side with economic
despotism.

DUN REVIEWS WEEK.
Change in Steel Industry Mos
Vital Factor in Trade World.

NEW YORK, January 26.-Dunn's
Review today says:
More evidence of a gain in business
is seen in some branches, though in
others an increase is slow to appear.
Irregularity still marks situation in
many lines, but the net change has been
moderately for the better Low tenn
perature in many places. with a belated
cold wave in parts of the east early
this week, reduced stocks of heavy
weight clothing, and reports from the
retails field have improved.
Yet the most important news has
not come from that quarter, but from
the steel industry, which is now on an
80 per cent basis of operation. Buying
so far this year has been large enough,
in some cases at slightly higher prices,
to give practical assurance that mills
will be kept busy for several months.

U. S. STEEL AROUND 1O5.
Market Strong, But Studebaker
Holds Motor Shares Back.
BY STUART y. WEST.
,,,:-,,,.b 4, r,n St,-

Srecial Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK. January @S,--The week
wound uD with another display OF
optimism in the stock market "hlch
was not dampened by the weakness
developing in various parts of the
list.
The rise in Steel common was checked
Just as it got around 105. Bethlehehi
Steel was the real leader OF the steer
group with an advance or over Two
points and the upward movement con,
tinus<l in Gulf States, Schloss Shef1ieid
and Republic Iron and Steel.
Phillips Petroleum, Mariand ana Cos
den all went higher for a time.
The same was true of the sugar
stocks.
Motor Stocks Less Active.
Even while the rest of the list was
at its best heavy selling was going
on in Studebaker, and the weakness
in this stock had restraining effect
upon other motors. The talk again
was that while orders were coming
in satisfactorily to the automobile
makers they were not coming in on
the scale of year ago.
The decline in Virginia Carolina
Chemical preferred was not surpris-
ing i'm view of the very bad break
during the last few weeks in the
company's bonds. Realizing sales in
Industrial Alcohol were sufficient to
bring about reaction III that SOCK.
Famous Players Again Weak.
Famous Players was weak again,
reviving the old rumorS which crop
I'D from time to time and are as
often denied. The Pan Americans
fall sharply again on the latest new $
from Washington regarding the Oh!
lease scandal.
Equipment shares came in for more
attention following another jump in
American Car and Foundry.
There was nothing new to be said
for the causes back of the buying
movement. They have been pointed
out often enough. The Weekend
mercantile reviews scarcely contrib
uted much to what was already
known about the trade situation. They
left a rather confused impression.
Bradstreets, for instance. spoke of
there being "unquestionably more ac-
tivity in most lines" Later on the
same review said that the trade and
industrial pace as whole loses
somewhat in contrast with year
Sgo."
Nothing of consequence happened
in the foreign exchanges. Sterling
and francs were slightly ffrmer, but
both markets were evidently in a
waiting attitude.
