YOUTH STAYS
FATHER,BURIES
BODY ON FARM
Admits Crime, Saying That
His Father Swore Too
Much Around the House
FINALLY
BREAKS
Yields to Questioning After
Search Results in Finding
of Grave

Hudson, Wisconsin, July 22.-Be-
cause his father was always swear
ing around the house. 21-year-old
willard Kruger killed him with an
iron bar and buried his body in an
abandoned hog pen, says a formal
confession, which authorities said
he made here today.
Missing since last Thursday the
body of the father, Otto c. Kruger
was found yesterday in a freshly
made grave under a hog shed on the
Kruger farm near Stanton, six miles
northeast Of New Richmond, where
the youth was arrested after county
authorities had Investigated the eld-
er kruger's disappearance at the
behest of neighbors.
Young Kruger will be arraiened
late today or tomorrow, authorities
said, and it is thought he will be
bound over to the district court. w.
X. Kirk. county attorney, indicated
today he probably will consent to
an examination by an alienist.
The Staying was discovered when
County Attorney Kirk, accompanied
by Mike Martin, constable, at New
Richmond, went to the Kruger farm
stead after neighbors had notified
authorities that Kruger had dsap-
peared and questioned Mrs. Kruger
and her son.
Mrs. Kruger said she had no idea

Willard suggested that he "probab-
ly had gone fishing
Mr.. Kirk said, adding that sew
eral questions Willard had evaded or
answered hesitatingly, i ,mompted
suspicion.
With the neighbors helping a
search of the farmstead was start
ed. The barn and other outbuild-
ings were gone over thoroughly
without result when Martin, peering
under an abandoned hog shed, noted
slight sunken hollow, oblong, and
with the appearance of fresh earth.
Close investigation revealed that
the ground had cracked around the
oblong. Shovels were produced and
nearly Az feet down the diggers
came on horse blanket saturated
with fly-killing blanket and under
meath that were several gunny sacks
shielding Kruger's body.
The authorities then continued to
question Willard. He maintained
his innocence, but he was taken in
to custody and was taken to the
Jail where, authorities said, he at
tempted to fasten his overall jacket
to the ceiling beam, with the ap-
parent intention of hanging himself
Under subsequent (uestioning
Willard finally broke down and con-
fessed authorities said, that he
killed his father "because he al
ways swore" and refused to give
him money. Later he signed form

BANKERS HOLD
LOAN PLAN IS
STILL UNSAFE
Serious Hitch Is Said to Have
Occurred in the Inter-
Allied Plans
WANT NEW AGREEMENT
American Bankers Represent
ed as Presenting Chief
Opposition to Plan

London, July %. (By the A. PD-
Delegates Ito the inter-allied confer
ence, called for the purpose of putt
ing the Dawes report into execution,
today were busily engaged in de-
termining the attitude of the finan-
ciers who will be called upon to ad-
vance loan Of 40,O00,O00 pounds to
Germany with which to finance the
Dawes plan. Whether the safe
guards that will surround this loan
are sufficient only the bankers them
selves will be able to Judge.
The Daily Telegraph in an empha-
tic statement today declares that a
serious hitch has occurred in the con-
ference, due especially to the Ameri-
can bankers being disinclined to take
up the loan on the strength of guar
antees embodied in the protocol franz
ed last Saturday.
The Telegraph's diplomatic expert
states that Premier Macdonald COM
the fact regarding this
financial obstacle to the chief dele
gates yesterday who received the in
formation with keen disappointment
and some feeling. The bankers, ac-
cording to the Telegraph, regard the
political safeguards embodied in the
mere association of an American citi-
zen with the reparations commission
as inadequate protection to the lead
ers, inasmuch as, in their opinion,
the arrangement does not altogether
insure an impartial majority on that
body. They frankly dislike article
four of the protocol. it is said, which
they regard as ambiguous and con-
tanning possible loop-hole for one
power or the other to take indepen-
dent sanction in the future.

DEP0SIT0RS
PLAN ARGUED
IN HIGH COURT
Sufficiency of Petitions Call
ing For Vote on Measure
Are Before Court
TO COURT FOR REVIEW
Action Brought Up After Sec
retary of State Held Peti-
tiOns insufficient
TO COURT FOR REVIEW

The question of whether petitions
presented for filing are sufficient to
place on the ballot in the November
election a constitutional amendment
bonding the state for $6.OO0,O00 to
aid depositors in closed banks and re-
writing the Guaranty Fund law, was
placed before the supreme court here
today. The court heard arguments
on the appeal taken from the action
of Secretary Of State Thomas Hall,
who held the petitions were sufficient
as to numbers but insufficient as to
form.
William LANCER, appearing for the
Association of Depositors in Closed
Banks, and the committee of petition
ers seeking the vote, urged upon the
court the sufficiency Of the petitions,
while John Thorpe, first assistant
attorneygeneral, appeared for the
Secretary of State on the latter's re-
quest. Chief Justice H. A. Bronson
did not sit in the case, it being beard
by four judges.
Mr.. LANCER, opening his argument,
declared that under the constitution,
if the Secretary of State found peti-
tions insufficient, he should allow
20 days for correction. He also urg-
ed that the duty of the Secretary
of State was purely ministerial, and
that it was not his duty to decide
whether or not the proposition was
in accordance with the constitution.
He insisted that the entire subject
matter of the northumberland in
cludes regulation of the opening of
banks in the future, method Of ap-
pointment of the state bank examiner
and receiver Of closed banks and
similar provisions-was necessary to
the whole scheme, which he said was
advanced to stabilize banking con-
ditions.
A question was raised from the
bench as to the method of naming
the bank examiner, it being provided
the Governor shall appoint him from
three names recommended by the As
sociation Of Depositors in Closed
Banks. Justice w. L. Nuessle in
quired if this were not, in con-
stitutional amendment, assuming
something which might not exist,
since such association was merely
voluntary and might pass out of
existence.
Mr.. Thorpe filed an answer in the
case delaring the Secretary of States
action was correct, without going in
to details. He urged before the court
that the line of demarcation between
a constitutional amendment and a
purely legislative act was not we'll
defined, and that the proposed amend
ment. included not only an amend
ment to the constitution in raising
the debt limit Of the state but also
sough to usurp the functions of the
legislature.
He also urged that the proposed
amendment did not meet the re-
quirements of the law, in that it did
not fairly state the contents of the
petition in the tile, urged as i'm
pcrtant in informing the voters OF
what they are to vote for.

Chicago, July 22.-Death, life

term of not less than IA years are
faced by Nathan Leopold Jr. and
Richard Loeb, millionaires' sons,
whose pleas Of guilty tc' KIDNAPPING
and killing Robert Franks have
swept aside carefully prepared in
sanity defenses and thrown them
-on the mercy Of Judge John r.
Caverly.
Only evidence tending to miti-
gate their punishment can be sub
mitted without jury at a judicial
hearing beginning tomorrow.
The prosecution, which demands
the gallows for the two University
graduate students, who said they
killed for experiment, plans to
call hundred witnesses.
The defense, hoping for life
sentence, expects to submit testi-
mony of alienists regarding the
mental responsibility of the youths.
More than three weeks are ex-
pected to be consumed for the
hearing States Attorney Grove
intends to present every bit of ev-
idence collected by the state just
the same as if jury was hearing
the case. His opening statement is
expected to occupy all day tomor-
row.
Don't Want Boys Free
The parents of the two boys, es-
timated to have resources Of more
than $lC,00Q,OO0, do not want them
to have their freedom. Neither did
they desire that their incarceration
be in an asylum as might have
resulted had the insanity theory
been pursued. Consequently the
corps CT alienists who made minute
examinations and prepared volum-
inous reports will make only brief
statements on the stand in effort
to gain leniency.
Il am confident that both will
be sentenced to hang" said Mr..
Grove. ut is the only just pun
ishment for their crime. The state
is going to prove not only that they
are guilty but that they are abso-
lutely sane and should be hanged.
Nov we need no alienists. The
defense cannot introduce testimony
tending to show the boys insane.
They can, however, bring in wit
nesses or experts who may testify,
bearing on their responsibility"
The defense was moved to cast
aside the insanity plea, defense at
torneys said, because if they were
adjudged insane their families
would be injured by the reflection
for succeeding generations. The
debt to public opinion, they said,
also impelled discarding the theory.
