bankers demanded recognition of Rus sias pre-war debts as a prerequisite to any advance.
 Another of the stumbling blocks was the Russians insistance that the British recognize extensive counter claims, based on damages suffered in conseuuence of armed foreign inter- vention in Russia after the revolution. The campaigns of General Denikin, Admiral Kolchak and other anti-bo- shevik leaders were cited in this con- nection.
 Christian Rakovsky, the chief soviet delegate, after hurried trip to Mos COW returned to London last week bearing a new set of proposals, which it was hoped, according to Moscow dispatches, would remove the ob- stacles to an understanding. It was thought by the Russians that these terms described as more liberal, would satisfy the British holders Of the old Russian bonds and result eventually in a loan under British government guarantee.
 In framing the new proposals, how ever, the Russian commissars, it was added, were particularly careful 10 conserve the soviet laws on national- zation of property as they were against sacrificing any of their revolu- tionary principles.

"Nnn pr, Healy replied.

Isn't there anything in their act here which exhibit higher intellect?' 2 asked Grove.
 "Yes, their ability to plan" was the reply.
 "Didnt they show above the aver age fear and caution criminal shows?" asked Mir. Grove. But Dr. Healy denied having much acquaint- ance with adult criminals.
 Doctor Remains Calm
 Dr. Healy retained his eauanimity under a hot fire of cross-examination by Mir. Grove, smiling easily, and dis playing no nervousness as the prose- cutor sought to destroy the value of his testimony as matter meriting consideration in fixing punishment
 At one point Mir. Grove and Dr. Healy got into lengthy comparison of juvenile courts and work and crim- inal courts, Dr. Healy explaining most of his work with boys under 19.
 Then you have not had much ex- perience with criminals springing from millionaire families and who are college graduates, have you doctor"' asked Mir. Grove. The defense ob- jected.
 Another question by Mir. Grove brought an objection from Mir. Dar- row a part of it being Because no IS year old boy ever has been hanged in Illinois"
 At this point court recessed for lunch.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 5.--The five eornered race for the democratic nomination for, United States senator in which interest. centers on J. c. Wal ton, busted governor, and anti-klan candidate, over-shadows all other contests in Oklahoma's primary today.

OFFICER FLYNN'S POODLE
 TURNS UP IN JAIL
Police Departments Having . Little Fun at the Expense of Com-
 rade and His Dog

Members of the New Britain police department occasionally practice harmless jokes at the expense of their fellows, and as . result now have the laugh on Sergeant Michael J. Flynn, who recently returned from a vaca- ton trip in New York. While in the metropolis the sergeant purchased a poodle" dog. He brought the animal to New Britain yesterday morning, but a short time after he was home missed him and the canine was given up as lost.
 This morning Sergeant Flynn re- ported to headquarters and much to his surprise found the newly pur- chased dod "lockd up" in one of the cells. Amazed as well as astonished he could not understand how the dog found his way to headquarters but fellow officers kindly offered an ex- planation. They informed him that the dog realized that he had been purchased and vas owned by a 5.lice- man so he hured that the only way to again join his master would be to walk to the police station. As 1t actually happened the poodle" fol- lowed someone to headquarters, where he was put into cell and the police men found 1t hard work to keep him confined. Tie dog is 50 small that he continually escaped from between the bars. However, the worries of the policemen in seeking and chasing nim are now over for he has been returned to hs master

ROBBERY MOTIVE OF
 MRS. EVANS SLAYER
This Is MeyiCo's VersiOn..Vlc.
 tim's Sister to Press Issue

By The Associated Plsss
 Mexico City. Aug, s,-The belief of the Mexican government that robbery was the principal motive for the kill- ing of Mrs, llosalie Evans. tke British subject who was shot to death from ambush near Texmeluesn Saturday night. was reiterated in an official foreign office bulletin Issued late last evening,
 Officials had previously expressed their disbelief that the crime was the result of the agrarian agitation which aimed at forcing Mrs, Evans to cons sent 10 the division of her hacienda. the legal proceedings in which had become an Incident between the Mex lean and British governments, al- though this possibility Is conceded.
 The foreign office bulletin echoes the expressions of President obregon In calling attention to the energy with which the federal and state authori- ties are pushing the inquiry and try- Ing 10 run down the assassins, and eontinues;-
 The circumstances surrounding the crime give rise to the opinion that tnr pflHNlpui fHpiist Nab ToDpNFy. Nevertheless the fact that the name of Mrs, Evans had been connected with recent international incidents causes the supposition that the pres ent case might also be connected with the discussion of the agrarian ques- ton regarding the property of the yic- tim.
 General Saenz. minister of foreign relations, added he had been informed that Mrs. Evans had made all plans for her funeral more than week pre- vious to her death.

while the alienist examined his notes.
 When Dr. Healy resumed, he told Mir. Grove that the boys did not tell him who originated the crime, nor did he have any notes which might help him answer, he said that he had not gone into that phase in the examina- ton.
 Doctor, would you not come to the conclusion that if moral, decent, clean livinSSman had committed a crime of this sort he certainly was insane ?" asked Mir. Grove. r T should not be of any opinion whatsoever, 1t should be gone into,' replied the witness. "If you found that person, or per- sons, who had committed this crime prior to that time had been cheats at cards, firebugs, thieves and perverts, you wouldn't be surprised, would your" asked the prosecutor.
 "Yes," was the reply.
 "In what respect?" asked MT. Grove.
 Tt is much more remarkable crime" said Dr. Heay. In Cowboy Suits
 Mir. Grove went into the matter of the childhood pictures of Loeb in cowboy and Indian suits, introducing one Dr. Healy had described as show ing a tense little face" Mir Grove tried to have the witness agree that the lad in the picture merely had been assuming facial expression in keep ing with the idea let by the suits.
 Questions by Mir. Grove as to the meaning of insanity were ruled out by Judge Caverly The pSoseHutor has sought diligently to have f&troduced statement by defense witnesses that Loeb and Leopold are insane and thereby cause a jury trial.
 pr. Healy and Mir. Grove fenced craftily the witness refusing to hazard opinions of generalities. MT. Grove went through the crime, as confessed by the youthR step by step, asking Dr. Healy after each as- sectoin: "Was that intellect or child ish phantasy working when they did that?"
 Almost invariably pr. Healy re- piled:
 Tt was their intellect working"
 "In other words every detail of this crime is the result of intellect and not phantasy," asked Mir. Grove.
 "1 think so." replied the doctor.
 Mir. Grove sought to bring out that certain emotions displayed by the youths when their alibis were broken down, could be described as fear.
 Making those assumptions" replied the doctor. '1 should say that was fear"
 Loeb Is Master Criminal
 Loeb is the master criminal here, isn't he?" asked Grove.
 "Yes, I think so." replied the doc tor.
 T don't think they were using much common sense in doing the crime at all" Dr. Healy replied to another question bearing on the intellectual advisement of the deed.
 Doctor. in planning the crime it. self and steps taken to protect them selves from detection, the only method in which that differs in this case from the average case of criminal is that these men showed little higher grade of intellect isn't it?" asked the prose- tutor.

RUSSIAN-BRITISH
 AGREEMENT FAILS
Latest Report Is Negotiations Are
 Broken Off

London, Aug. s. - The Russian British negotiations, yesterday report ed near settlement on the war debt, last night were reported as having definitely collapsed and Russia will not sign the treaty.
 The Anglo Russian treaty negotia- tions collapsed. according to authori- tative information, on the refusal of the soviet representatives to accept an article in the agreement which they insisted letf the way open for Eng land eventually to demand compensa- ton for foreign property nationalized by the soviet government In other words, the explanation runs, it was a flat clash between communism and capitalism, although there had been many evasive discussions of other fea- lures of article XIV which the Rus sians found objectionable.
 Go Right to Bed
 Both the Russians and the English who took part in the 1S1s hour en- durance test which came to a conclu- sion at 7:15 o'clock this morning were so exhausted that they immediately went to bed, and even the British foreign office lacks full details of the final hours of the clash between the advocates of the two widely different economic systems.
 The breakdown came as something of a surprise, as the Russians and their supporters had been optimistic in their statements and a belief had been created that treaty between Russia and England would be signed shortly.
 There has been much speculation in diplomatic circles as 10 what Secretary Hughes might have said to Prime Minister Macdonald, durinc the sec- retary's recent visit here, with regard to Russian recognition. Likewise the German deelgates here for discus sion of the Dawes plan are eager to know whether the breakdown of the Anglo Russian negotiations will affect their own negotiations with the allies.
 The collapse of the Russian negotia- tions here was almost as sensational as the signing of the treaty of Rapa- To by the Russians and Germans dur ing the Genoa conference.
 Met April A
 The Anglo Russian conference in London was convened on April 14 after recognition of the soviet regime by the labor government under Premier Macdonald in fulf1llment of what was virtually campaign pledge. The purpose of the conference was to settle all the outstanding claims be- tween the two countries, some involv- ing pre-war debts on the part of Rus sia and others growing out of the soviet governments seizures, under its naturalization policy, of property be- longing to British subjects.
 The proceedings dragged from the start, despite the efforts of the British to speed them up. The Russians made efforts to secure a loan, which they desired the British government to guarantee. This guarantes the Brit ish flatiy refused to give. Mir. Mac Donald declaring that the British

EVELYN NESBIT SEEKS
TOSAVE THAW FORTUNE
Asks Court To Deny Sanity Plea For Sake Of
Her Little Son

The specific charge was that he whip
ped d boy named Frank Gump, whom
he tied to bedpost in a hotel. His
mother and the Thav millions, for the
fortune is still great one notwith-
standing the vast expenditures made in
Harry's many legal wars, are behind
Thaw still, promoting the effort to
have him released.
Evelyn, who now runs a cabaret in
Atlantic City, filed formal demur-
rer to the Thaw petition. She states
that il Harry is turned loose once more
he is likely to dissipate the remainder
of his fortune, to which, she says,
young Russell will have a sons just
claim after Harry's death.
Thaw is said to be worth 81 ,000, 900
in his own right. Evelyn alleged in
the formal language Of the courts that
Harry is still mentally diseased and
unfit and will, if released, dissipate
his own estate and his interest in the
estate of his father.
Becomes Drug Slave
Thaw has never acknowledged him
self to be the father of young Russell,
who is now 13 years old and student
at boarding school. Lacking ac-
acknowledgement and support from Thaw,
the boy has always been dependent on
the earrings of Evelyn, who has trouped
across the country in vaudeville,
danced in cabarets, conducted small
restaurants and appeared in the movies
for him. During her residence in Hol-
lywood, she took morphine one day
to relieve the pain Of an abscessed
