LOeb's Father Suffers Heart Attack-WOn't
 Hear Sentence

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Apparently un- disturbed by the fact that Judge John R. Caverly will, in four days, make known his decision in their case, Rich ard Loeb and Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., spent their ninety-eighth day in jail chatting lightheartedly with numerous visitors.
 Judge Caverly, on the other hand, had slipped out of the city for a few days of rest and quiet after having gone over in it's entirity, the 1,5OO pages of evidence recorded at the hear ing to determine the punishment to be meted out to Loeb and Leopold for the Kidnapping and murder of their school boy neighbor, Bobby Franks. The judge has intimated that his de- cision is ready and that he will use the next day or two in preparing 1t in written form.
 Albert H, Loeb, father of Richard, has suffered another heart attack at the Loeb summer home in Charlevoix, Michigan. A Chicago physician, called to the Michigan home, termed the elder Iloeb's affliction muscular weakness of the heart" and added that when people die of broken heart" as the phrase goes, it is this muscular in- flammation that causes death, largely brought on by grief and worry"
 Neither Mir. nor Mrs. Loeb would at- tend court Wednesday when the decis- ion is given, said Allan Loeb, brother of Richard, who returned today from Charlevoix, even though their physical condition might permit. Nathan F. Leopold, Sr., has said that he will be present Wednesday,

Settlement Of All Disputes By Pacific Means, Is Object

GENEVA, Sept. 6.-With the Dawes plan already in op- eration, Europe is, picking up the task of achieving her own salvation where the experts left off and is going ahead under her own steam.
 The League of Nations as- sembly, after a week of pre- liminary discussion, has sud- denly arrived at agreement on a measure which it's leaders consider the most important step toward abolishing war ever taken, in a surprisingly brief space of time.
 The question of disarmament, na-. tienai security and the settlement of international disputes--in other words. world peace--has been definitely placed in the hands of the league, with the unanimous approval by representatives of 46 nations of the joint Anglo ] French resolution presented to the as- sembly Saturday. This followed two. days of sincere debate on the main issues before the assembly-disarma ment and arbitration.
 No Difficulty Faced
 Only the ironing out of the differ ences in the French and British view points on the use of force to impose arbitration and guarantee national se- curity remains in the smooth path of the peace-makers and both Premier Macdonald of Britain and Premier Her riot of France are confident that this will cause no difficulty. Following the passage of the resolution, the two premiers who, after leading in the de- bate, had worked out the agreement to- gether, were besieged by delegates who crowded around them to congratulate them and clasp them by the hand. The resolution providing for the strengthening out of the remaining diff ferences says:
 "This assembly, noting the declara- tions of the governments represented, remarks with satisfaction that they contain basis for understanding tend-, ing to establish secure peace, and de- cides as follows

DOUBLE WEDDING ENDS SECLUSION
 OF TWO EXPRESSES
Chauffeur And Electri- clan Secretly Married
 Bankers Daughters

LENNO, Mass, Sept. 6.-Stim par ental objection to his daughters keep ing company with young men which is said to have been rigidly enforced, came to naught here Saturday when the two daughters of Grenville Lindall Winthrop, retired capitalist of New York, Emily L., and Kate w., elOped to the nearby town of Stockbridge and were married.
 At the Winthrop home at Groton place, the girls father was said to be grief stricken. He refused to see any body and would not talk about the events of the day.
 Winthrop's eldest daughter, Emily, whose ago was given as 31, was mar ried to Carey Lucien Miles, S4, a widower, her fathers chauffeur, while her younger sister, Kate, 21, was mar ried to Darwin $. Morse, 23, an cleo trician of Lennox. Morse is also a deacon in the Congregational church.
 The officiating clergyman was the Rev. John r. Trowbridge, pastor of the Congregational church at Inter- laken, village near the town of Stock bridge. The ceremony took place at the parsonage and was witnessed only by the mother of young Morse, his sis tre and her husband and two neighbors of the minister.
 News of the double wedding. which took place Saturday morning was not known until late in the afternoon when some of the witnesses began. talking Investigation of the reports led to ask ing the minister, who acknowledged having performed the ceremony. Emily and her husband, he said, departed in her car, while Kate started on her honeymoon in her fathers $6,000 limou- sine.
 Further investigation showed that the couples filed marriage intentions on August 24, and had cautioned the town clerk not to make such action public. Plans for the weddings were made several days ago, the minister also being pledged to secrecy.
 The elopement caused n sensation in this town where all four were well known. Winthrop, his townspeople said tonight, had always been extremely strict with his daughters, allowing no men to see them, and permitting them but few girl companions. The girls mother died, they said, shortly after Kate was born. Morse met his bride, neighbors said, while he was employed in repairing some wires on the Win- throp estate.

N, who had a narrow escape from being overcome by gas while he was inspecting the gas com. partments soon after the ship started on her flight this morning. Schmidt climbed aloft into the framework and while making an inspection of the in terior workings, encountered gas which had been purposely let out through a valve. Some of the fumes got into his lungs, but the lieutenant rapidly descended to fresh air and after halt an hour was quite all right again.
 During the flight the ZR-3 carried S4 persons which is a record for dirig ibles, according to Zeppelin officials.
 The ZR-3 took off in a fog but en tered sunshine soon after leaving Friedrichshaven for Munich which she passed before noon. The airship then proceeded to Neuremburg. Luncheon was served while the ship passed over the city. The flight continued tC Stuttgart and Esslingen, near where the late Count Won Zeppelin is buried the ship making great circle anc reaching Lake Constance at five o'clock where Dr. Eckener maneuvered the shiE and made q safe landing.

 In a statement made Saturday night between sobs to Hugh Price of Nash vile, Tenn, B chum of his boyhood days, Edwards gave color to the police theory that the staying was prompted by jealousy.

While grief-stricken family and their friends surrounded the dead body of Miss lmogene Lee at the family home Saturday, William Lee the slain girls brother, made an attempt to see Robert D.

FORD EXPECTED TO OMAKECHANGE IN SHOALS OFFER Will Deal Direct With
 President, However,
 Is Understanding
gsAllIIIl sll BaEall

l. f
 vAsaINGTON, Sept. e. While 1t lis generally iiscusssd ip official circles khat Henry Ford. st the proper time, viii make concessions respecting his of fer for Muscle Shoals. the nattre or extent of such concessions cannot be learned. ]
 It is said that Ford will refuse to concede anything to Congress, but that he would deal with the President, with the understanding that after conces- sions, asked by the President are granted, the offer will be accepted.
 Mir. Ford's offer has been before offices of the government and the Con- gress since February 25, 1922. It is true, as his critics declare, that he has not been oyer-anxlous to change his off, fer as 1t was originally submitted. It is untrue, however, that he has been obdurate, or has adhered to take it or leave it' attitude. s@ Makes Five Concessions
 A study. of the record proves that Ford has made five important cOncee. sions since submitting his offer nearly three years ago. Some of theA were made at the instance of Secretary of War Weeks; others at the instance of the House committee on military af- fairs. The fact that after he had
 agreed to concessions, he failed to land the prize is the probable cause of F0rdss indicated refusal or treat further with any authority less potent than the
 President himself. The five important concessions made
 by Ford follow:
 1. Originally Ford offered to organ. ize a companyl for the operation of
 Muscle Shoals plants without reference to capitalization. Later he agreed to capitalize this company at $10O0O. 900.
 2. Originally Ford demanded that the interest of the Alabama Power com pany in the Gorgas steamplant be aes Quired by the government and turned
 over to him. This demand was later amended sO as to require the govern ment to turn over to Ford only its in- terest in the Gorgas plant.
 Agrees On Output
 3. Originally Ford agreed to oper- ate plant No. 2 to its capacity in the production of nitrogen for fertilizer. This was amended in such manner that Ford agreed to produce 10000 tons of nitrogen at No. 2 or at such other
 plants as he might construct.
 {. Originally Ford insisted that at the conclusion of his lease period he
 would have the preferred right to re-
 new the contract, or that in his inabil- ity to do 50, he be guaranteed a sup
 ply of power sufficient to operate any
 plants that he might have constructed.
 This was amended in such manner that Ford if his offer is accepted will have the preferred right to renew the con
 tract on terms to be prescribed by Con gress. W 5. Originally nothing was said re- garding the binding of Ford's heirs and
 assigns to carry out the contract in the
 event of hissdeath. In the Madden bill
 it is provided that Ford's heirs and as- signs are so bound, and Ford ihas agreed to accept the Madden bills
