 Issue In Georgia
 The klan question will be one of the principal issues in the Georgia primaries Wednesday. United States Senator Harris is opposed for renomi. nation-the equivalent of election in Georgia-by former Senator Hardwick who is standing as an anti-klan can diate. Informed Georgians give Harris the edge.
 In Michigan, Senator Couzens is up for renomination Tuesday. Couzens is a republican of decided independence of mind and for a time it was thought he might support La Toilette instead of Coolidge. But recently he issued a statement classifying himself as a re- publican pledged to support the admin istration. His renomination seems to have been assured by this step. How ever, Couzens is not inclined to party regularity. It was he who started the investigation of Secretary Mellon. He is by no means an administration vote in the Senate, often siding with La Toilette.
 Massachusetts republicans conclude hot three-cornered fight for the United States senatorial nomination this week. Speaker Gillett, Represents tive Dallinger and Louis A.

GIRLS BLAMED BY. DICKE' LOEB
 FOR DOWNFALL
Made Him Feel Devilish, He Tells One Of His
 SchOOlmates
{By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Girl friends who tried to reform him, making him feel so devilish and mysterious instead of stupid" was ascribed as the reason for his downfall by Richard Loeb, it developed today when a conversation he had with a girl schoolmate was made public. Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., are to be sentenced Wednesday for the murder of young Robert Franks.
 The girl friend who called at the county jail to see Loeb recently, recalled today that she had blurted to the young college student: You're just plain stupid-Td never have believed it of yOu."
 "Is Only Crime"
 His eyes fell and the most shamed expression crossed his face-you know being stupid is the only crime in Dickie's lexicon" she said.
 "'If the girls who tried to reform me made me feel as stupid as you do, might not be here waiting to learn whether I'm to be hanged or shut away for life. The others made me feel so devilish and mysterious she quoted Loeb as saying.
 Judge John R. Caverly, who faces the task day after tomorrow of telling the two boys what penalty they must pay, remained in the city today instead of going away as he had planned. He assigned Mrs. Caverly's nervous condi, tion, due to an anonymous "crank' telephone call she recently received as the cause. The caller told her that the judge had been assassinated.
 Decision Ready
 Judge Caverly- said he would spend Monday in writing his decision and then sleep on it for two nights" so that he would be in better position to make last minute changes he may deem necessary.
 Loeb and Leopold today spent their last Sunday in the cells in the county jail that they have occupied since they confessed to the murder on May 31 By next Sunday they will either have been transferred to ''murderers' row, where they will await execution, or the outcome of the probable appeal to an other court, or they will have been taken to the penitentiary at Joliet.

GERMANS PROHIBIT
 EXPORT OF GRAINS

BERLIN, Sept. 7.-The sudden in- crease in the demand for grain has in- duced the German government to tenn pOrarily repeal export licenses which
 are believed to be responsible for the
 rise in prices on the produce exchange. An official communique issued today stated that the wet weather is material ly interfering with the harvesting of the new crop and that the resultant demand by consumers makes export prohibition necessary, as it will in all probability accomplish drop in prices through enforced deliveries of stocks which are now finding an outlet abroad.

 It need hardly be said that the schoolboy in question is believed to be- long to that great Bagdad community who proudly claim descent from the Babylonian captiYes of the tribe of Judah.
 Even more striking is the following aphorism from recent schoolboy s essay;

Come with me to coun. try which has only lawyers and nc teachers; we shall only see tongues playing in the mouths of the lawyers with no use but riot.
