M|NTON MAY Be
TEMPORARY HEAD
OF DRY FORCES
Assistant Director Receives
TeIegram-RefuSeS to
Discuss It.

R c. Minton, assistant Federal
prohibition director for Indiana, will
become acting director in the place
of Bert C. Morgan, It was Indicated
today by reliable sources.
Minton received a telegram
thought to be in regard to the mat
ter. When questioned concerning
it he said he would not have any
thing for publication today, but
might have Wednesday.
Whatever there is about It it
would hardly be At to be made pub
lice at this time" Minton said.
Minton has acted in the capacity
Of director in Morgan's absence and
at such times signed his letters as
acting director"
It is thought that Roy A. Haynes.
national Prohibition director. may
have notified Minton to take over
the dictatorship until the permanent
appointment of Frank Rowley OF
Angola Rumors Morgan was to be
unseated or transferred have been
current for a week.
Morgan Noncommittal
Morgan refused to admit anything
concerning the telegram and pro-
fessed ignorance of it's contents.
Mr.. Minton receives many tele-
grams" he said, land he would
have to tell you about it himself
Friends of Morgan denied investi-
cations Of Roy A. Haynes, national
prohibition director, had shown DO.
htical activity on the part of Nor
gan and his forces.
Watson Influence Seem
These reports were branded as an
attempt of adherents Of James e.
Watson, United States Senator, who
is said to be after Morgan's scalp,
to shift responsibility to Haynes.
They say Haynes has been salts
fed with Morgan's administration
and has made every effort to retain
him in Office against tremendous po-
litical pressure brought to bear by
Watson.
The fact that Frank A. Rowley of
Angola was picked for the place even
before the move to 'get" Morgan be-
cakne publicly known. is pointed out
as an indication of the political char
acter Of the movement.

LONDON. July 22.-Leaders of the
allied conference attempting to agree
on a plan for application Of the
Dawes plan. to solve the German
reparations question met hurriedly
in Downing st. today to discuss the
serious situation which has arisen,
following demand of the Anglo-Amer-
lean banking groups for better guar
antees to safeguard the proposed
loan to Germany.
News that the bankers did not
consider sufficient the guarantees
proposed by the committees Of the
conference caused CONSERVATION.
Prime Minister Macdonald imme-
diately got in touch with Premier
Herriot Of France, Premier Theunis
Of Belgium and the Italian minister
Of finance, De Stefsni. who heads his
country's delegation to the confer
ence. end the four went into session
at No. 10 Downin St. at 10 a m.
American Speaks
The Daily Telegraph says that
Thomas Lamont, representing the
American banking groups, told the
premiers the bankers cannot touch
any proposed loan to Germany with
out much better guarantees than
those so far suggested.
The guarantees, the newspaper
quotes Lamont as saying, must in
clude evacuation Of the Ruhr.
THE ministers received this ulti-
matum with keen disappointment
and some feeling" the newspaper
says.
Premier Herriot was closeted with
Lamont all last evening, according
to the Daily Telegraph, pleading
with him TO reconsider the ulti-
matum out Of consideration for
French feeling, which, the premier
said, can not countenance evacua-
ton Of the occupied German terri
tory at this time.
The American banker listened to
Herriot' arguments attentively but
replied that a loan under the pro-
posed guarantees is impossible.
The meeting of the big FIVE" at
No. 10 Downing St. was informal
and no communique was issued.
Premier Herriot. who previously
had breakfasted with Premier Mac.
Donald. departed obviously pale and
worried and conversing earnestly
with Premier Theunis, occasionally
punctuating his remarks by tapping
the ground with his ebony cane.
Herriot and Theunis remained on
the cur6stone outside for some time
in deep conversation.
Immediately after the allied states
men had departed the British cab

Mercy of Court
When we told the parents there
was no hope-that their sons could
not and should not go free-they
were willing to place their sons at
the mercy of the court. Our only
hope is that the court will spare
their lives; whether they are sent
enced to IA years or to life imprison-
ment is a small matter"

selves were told the fight had ended
that no attempt would be made to
set them free.
We went to the JAIL" barrow

tiers stood-that their parents and
their attorneys had decided the only
thing to do was to plead guilty and
let the court decide their fate.
And I want to tell you that those
boys accepted the idea without a
whimper. They readily agreed to
our plan. They showed no more
emotion than when they calmly con.
fessed killing the Franks boy"
Prepare Arguments
barrow was in conference today
with Benjamin Bachrach, chief as
sistant defense counsel They were
preparing to present arguments to
the court against hanging Leopold
and Loeb,
States Attorney Robert E. Grove.
meanwhile, reiterated his declara-
ton that nothing short of the gal
lows would satisfy the prosecution.
Leopold and Loeb are sane. They
are guilty. They must hang and
they shall hang" That was his
challenge.
Grove and his aides are gathering
together their witnesses to support
their plea for hanging.
Grove will open the States case
Wednesday with explanation of what
he will seek to establish. He will
then summon one after another of
his witnesses to relate from the wit
ness stand all the events of the kid
naping and killing Of Robert Franks.
1t probably will take two or three
weeks to present the States case.
Then Darrow will present argu-
ments for the defense. The whole
proceedings, it is believed, will re-
quire approximately one month.
