For instance, the big prize fight scene has for a background the actual crowd that attended the Dcmpsey-F -Firpo fight.
 For the final three days of the week the I.yceum is bringing "On the Banks of the Wabash," a great melo- drama taken from the once famous song of the same name. It pictures small town life in a little Indiana vil- lage, Cranberry Corners it is called, with all it's rvalrics. it's jcalousies, it's tragedies and its romanccs. The big scene is the overlooking of it's banks by the Wabash river and the conse- quent inundation of the town.

 The noie declares the athletic and physical exercises Of German youths are not connected with military pre- parations. II asserts further that no eXpericused military authority in thn world could hold tho opinion that Germany was in q position 10 initiate an armed conflict in Europe for the
 reason that her material strength in arms was less than that of the small st tatcs Furthermore, it is declared, snP ls m a poSllph or nFipltHSntHS without parallel in the history Of nations.

the kidnapping and numbering Of
Bobby Franks.
The motive was one o. the first
things asked about after the story of
the crime had been told to him, Dr.
Patrick said.
Mr.. Grove asked Leopold If money
had nything to do with it," said the
witness, and both Loeb and Leopold
said 1T was part of the plan"
DIR. Patrick said he did not hear
anything said about the perfect
crime but that that idea was pres
ent during his conversation with the
youths.
AS to expressions of remorse, DR..
Patrick said Loeb remarked that he
regretted the crime on account of his
father. who was i'll. "Otherwise there
was no display of remorse," said the
doctor.
They both concluded by saying
something about not being quitters
when they We're asked if they could
have backed out of the crime at any
time after they started planning it,"
continued the doctor.
"Crowe Would Protect Him.
Progressing to the notes of the con-
versa tion he had with Loeb. DIR. Patrick
read:
Leopold made statement that Mr.
Grove had told him he could tell the
whole story of the crime without any
reservations and that Mr. Crows would
protect him and take care of him. Mr..
Grove denied that he had made any
such statement"
Other notes the witness read were:
After Leopold had finished his
luncheon he took little bottle from
his pocket and put its contents in the
glass of water and drank it. 1t was
significant for me to note that his hand
was very steady"
MIR. Loeb, in reply to one of the
questions as to the motives. said it was
done in a spirit of adventure.
Another note is to the effect that
Loeb account of his reading was ex-
Ceedingly Gear said the witness. Il
made another note that | thought it
was in error, but | do not recall what
Significance l attached to it at that
time. His account seemed well con-
nected.''
"In the discussion between the two
young men as to who welded the
cold ch -"l in the killing of the
Franks boy. Leopold said it would be
exceedingly difficult or impossible for
