GREAT BRITAIN TO INACCURATE
 PLANE SUBSIDY
Aero Clubs To Be Estab- lished At Principal Com
 mercial Centers

LONDON, Aug. 9.-With the object of increasing interest in aviation and thereby strengthening the country's de- lenses, the British air ministry has an nouneed plans for the formation of gov ernment subsidized airplane clubs throughout the country.
 The British government particularly desires to encourage the use of light machines, principally two-seaters, and to develop experienced pilots. The min istry states that the proposed clubs will be formed in all the large commercial eenters. Initially, the air department offers ten clubs financial assistance for two years. Money will be granted for the purpose of buying and maintain ing planes, while the clubs will be ohll- gated to employ a duly qualified tutor, in addition to mechanics, and also to furnish their own aerodFomes. The air ministry will closely supervise the worek and inspect the machines. An ad- Clitional grant will be given for every club member qualifying for a pilots license.
 The scheme will be formally launched in September, when a competition will be held for two-seater airplanes. If these is a good showing on this occa- sion, steps immediately will be taken to provide for opening he clubs in the spring. Representatives of the minis try now are preparing to tour the coun- try and visit all likely centers to ar range for the formation of the clubs.
 The plan is in conformity with the present British air policy, which the laborites are continuing, to develop a defensive force capable of repelling the strongest nation within striking dis tanee-which means France.

MACON, Ga, Aug. 9.-Fourteen per sons were injured, some perhaps fatal ly, when a clay train operating from q mine near Mcintyre, three miles from here, broke loose from locomotive and, hurtling down a mile long incline, crashed into a train loaded with work men on their way home.
 The crash occurred on a curve near the bottom of the incline, and the workmen did not observe the runaway train until it was almost upon them A number of the men jumped and escaped serious injury.
 According to officials of the mine, the hill, and while efforts were made the hill. and while efforts wer emade to reach the top, a coupling pin gave way and five loaded cars started back ward. One man climbed aboard the runaway cars and applied the brakes without effect. He leaped to safety.

LEOPOLD LED ON BY DREAM KING
 ALENIST AYERS
Was Almost Unwilling
 Partner In Murder, Says Dr. Hubert
lRx AasooiatAd Press. ]

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The defense to- day neared the end of its plea before Judge John R. Caverly for mitigation in the punishment of Nathan F. Leo bold, Jr,, and Richard A. Loeb scions of millionaire families, for the kid naping and murdering of young Robert Franks.
 The last of four eminent specialists through whom the defense has attempt ed to prove the youths are mentally sick" spent the entire two-hour session of court on the witness stand today. He dissected Leopolds person. ality as he had that of Loeb yesterday. Leopold, he said, was fit mentally to fall in with Loeb's plan to commit the perfect crime" because of tie mental state to which he had been reduced through physical deficiencies; failure of certain glands to function normally and strange ''king-slave" phantasy which had persisted from childhood.
 Having put Loeb's personality to vivisection yesterday, the mental path ologist, ,Dr. Fl. s. Hubert of Chicago, dealt almost solely with Leopold to- day.
 .'The psychiatric cause for the Franks crime is not to be found in either boy alone, but in an interplay of their friendship" he said.
 Leopold Called Kind
 Leopold was described as by nature kind, and an almost unwilling partner in the murder of the 14-year-old Franks boy. Only Leopold's obeisance neces- sary to his "dream king" kept him a partner, even after his intellect told him commission of a perfect crime" was impossible, testified Dr. Hulburt. Leopold wanted to postpone the kidna- ing and murder and go to Europe, added the psychintric.
 Illustrating to Judge Caverly by use of larke X-ray photographs of Leopold's anatomy, Dr. Hulburt pointed out what he said were glandular irregularities. He mentioned the pineal pituitary, ad- renal. and thyroid glands. He described the functional irregularities as respon- sible for Leopold's admittedly far ad- Yanced intellect and the stilling of his emotional growth after the age of seen or eight years.
 Dr. Hulburt said that the X-ray dis closed that the cartilage between the plates of Leopold's skull had become bone, unusual in on of 19 years. as the process generally develops after the age of 80.
 Black Lines Described
 The witness veered from his usual solemnity as he smilingly described cer- tain black lines on Leopoid's skull as

PARIS, Aug. 10.-PreElier Herriot obtained the full agreement of the French tsol- net early today on his d. lara- tions with regard L the French attitude at the London conference.
 The special cabinet meeting. which met immediately after Herriot's arrival from London adjourned at 1 80 o'clock this morning, after approving the premier's recommendations. These included provisions for French evacuation of the Ruhr. Whether France will attach conditions to the evacu- ation was not stated in a coH1- munique which was issued at 12:30 o'clock this morning.
 The communique said that Herriot, in agreement with General Nollett, minister of wan, had given 2 full account l of everything discussed at tie London conference. Marshal lFoch left the meeting at II ! o'clock, which was accepted as evidence that the military problems had caused no trouble.
 Herriot expects to return to London tomorrow night. He will acquaint the allied states men Monday with the de- cision of the French govern ment. On the basis of this mornings meeting, the pre- mier has the full support of the cabinet behind him and has averted any domestic po- litical trouble, over the ques- ton of evacuating the Ruhr.
 It was learned later, after the ad- journment of the cabinet meeting, that Herriot had won a complete victory and will return to London empowered to sign an agreement meeting the deSlres of the British and American partici- pants in the conference. This agree ment will include the evacuation of the Ruhr at a very early date.
 The enemies of the premier, who were predicting that his sudden trip to Paris was fatefully reminiscent of Briand's recall from Cannes and subse- quent downfall in 1922 were sur prised and discomfited by the alacrity with which Herriot smoothed away all difficulties, real or imaginary. So complete was Herriot's victory, and so peaceful is everything now, that a semi-official spokesman for the oon- ferees declared Nollett was never in disagreement with Herriot except on minor questions of detail.
 Marshal Foch arrived at the begin ming of the cabinet council and re- mained in the ante-room until his pres ence was requested. Foch discussed the details of the evacuation and the problems connected with it. His part in the discussion ended, the marshall briskly entered his automobile, lighted his pipe and dashed off, his face cov- cred with smiles. I was evident then that the chief problem of the meeting had been settled.

GO. P National Committeeman Extends Of ficial Welcome Of West Virginia Town .John" Forgets Speech As He Greets Old Friends By Their First Names

station and given the parade it's im- petue. Silk hats and long-tailed coats lent the occasion it's proper impressive quality.
 Just to show that politics didn't make any difference the leading citizens who extended the official welcome included Virgil L. Highland, republican national committeeman, and Samuel R. Bentley, president of the Chamber of Commerce, also republican. J. Horner Davis, former postmaster and democratic coun- ty chairman, headed the reception com mittee. 3 Standing in the motor car and lowing of the citizenry, Davis had tried re- peatedly to ''say something" in the ap- propriate fashion, but he was kept too busy calling out the names of his friends. His speech, short "glad-to- be-home' address. was reserved for ar- rival At the Davis home, where he re- sponded to an address of welcome by Samuel R. Bentley.
 "Was Back Home"
 Home, Sweet Home" came softly from the band as Davis stood on the front porch, before the townspeople gathered on the terraced lawn below. Memories overeame him for a moment, he put his handkerchief to his face, and paused for the words which the crowd awaited.
 He was back home, he said-Clarks- burg had always been home.
 II have come back for strength, for encouragement and support" he told them. By your faces, my friends and neighbors, know did not come in vain.
 T did not leave four years ago, when I first started from this community. You sent me away, and though my duties took me even to foreign lands, there has never been any other home.

 CL4ARKSBURG, w. VA, Aug. o. John W Davis--just plain John" to the folks along Main street---came back to Clarksburg today and made the TO. nance of fiction come true.
 The home town boy back from the legal triumphs of the big city. from the diplomatic pomp of the court of St. James and the legislative glamor of Congress, was received with a fervor that could come oply from an American small town, welcoming a returning na- tive son who had conquered the great world beyond.
 Added to all that now was his nom ination as democratic candidate for President of the United States and If John w. Davis wins his way to the White House he can scarcely receive greater plaudits from the home folks of Clarksburg than were accorded him today when he arrived to receive the formal notification of his nomination.

 RISKY LANDING
 IN OPEN SEA
No Intention Of Ending Flight, Says
 Smith
By OTIS PEABODY SWIFT iLeased Wire To The Herald.

\
 REYRJAvIK. Iceland, Aug. g. Even if their adventure involves the gamble of landing in the open seas of the North Atlantic, the two remaining pilots of America's world flight, Leuts. Lowell Smith and Eric. Nelson, are de- termined to finish their journey.
 Lieutenant Smith has refused to con slider the possibility of quitting and is being supported in that view by Rear Admiral MAgruder. Smith hopes that he and Nelson will be able to take off for the east coast of Greenland some time next week.
 "No conference has been called to consider calling off the flight, Ma gruder, who is commander of the Amerl' can light cruiser squadron and IS travelling aboard the Richmond, said today. Ion the contrary, yesterday conference was called to discuss the ways and means of providing for the next leg of the flight. The previous plans require modification due to the Gertrude Rask having been stuck In the ice off Greenland"
 The Gertrude Rask, Danish supply steamer, which has been trying to reach Angmagsalik, the Greenland coastal town which was originally. the next objective, has been blocked by huge packs of ice. If the ice floes do not break, the airmen are prepared to hazard a landing and re-fueling at sea, or to try another point on the coast as landing place.
 If a sea landing is decided upon, a certain spot off Greenland would be decided upon and the two cruisers, the Richmond and Raleigh, would stand .by to protect the fliers. Despite the risk presented by choppy seas, smith and Nelson believe they could land safely, and are determined to try that method, if there is no other solution.
