LEOPOLD ON STAND
 DENIES ALL GUILT.
Tells Jury He Never Saw Man
 Who Accuses Him

Joliet. H., Jan. P The law that sent Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, jr.. to prison for life for tne murder of Robbie Franks two years ago has come to the aid of the two youths who are defendants in a s10O,o00 damage suit.
 Smiling as he smiled through the Franks trial, Leopold took the stand to deny any connection with the mutilation of Charles Ream. a Chicago taXicab driver, and his de- fense was supported by testimony of the three Chicago policemen who were assigned to investigation of the case.
 Ream, unshaken by defense de- nials, pointed an accusing finger at Leopold and Loeb, but the trio of officers agreed that at the time of the crime the chauffeur told them he could never identify his two as- sailants. who threw him from a car, still dazed by ether admins tered during the operation.
 He did supply them with half way description of one man, whom he now identifies as Leopold, they said, but the details of height and weight recalled by the officers varied widely from the measure ments of the defendant.
 T never saw this man .(Ream) until this trial was in progress" Leopold declared yesterday. He tes- tifed that on the night of Novem- Der q, 1923. the date of the crime, he celebrated his 18th birthday at home and went to bed.
 Loeb was in court, having been brought from the state prison with his co-defendant, but was not call ed to the stand, court adJourlng with Leopold yet to be cross-ex- amined.

COCKTAILS, WHITE
 MULE ARE FEARED
Worst Propaganda Country Faces, Citizens Committee Hears

| Washington, Jan. 6.--tP-Declar- white mule in the dens of the under world are the only Bolshevik propa- ganda that we need fear" Raymond Robins of Chicago. told the citizens committee of one thousand. meeting here today, that prohibition lis the greatest social, economic and moral adventure in the political history of the world"
 Under few short years of this great advance. even with miserable enforcement" he said America now leads the world in production and increase of wealth. and the general standards of better human life"
 Although he made no mention of recent deaths from poisoned liquor. Mir. Robins said fatalities from this cause continue in wet British Co., mbia.' He asserted that the Cana dian government liquor sales pro- gram has "revived evils of the liquor traffic in those provinces that have overthrown prohibition" and that today the movies, the radio and auto- mobiles had taken the place in the United States of drink. which 30 years ago was the "only outlet for change for many persons"
 ''To refuse to obey a law because we do not like that law is treason" he asserted. ITO choose which law We shall obey and which we shall violate is selective anarchy. If we allow the violation of one law it will end in the violation of all laws"
 MT. Robins declared that mo na- in it's platform
 'Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler never pceped about modification at the last national republican conyen- tion,' he said, Because he knew the sentiment was overwhelmingly dry and it would be turned down cold. Governor Al smith and Gov ernor RitChie, though they had many days to do it. never urged the democratic convention 10 become wet and stand for the return of liquor because they knew it was no use; that they would be overwhelm- ingly out-voted.
 ''If the vets believe they have q majority let them organize a party and go before the people. They are afraid to try this. All this hullabaloo of the vets and the wet newspapers is just the dying paroXysms of the booze makers and the booze hounds. The 18th amendment will never be repealed
 Prohibition came about because of the tremendous alcoholic waste with it's injury 10 the physical. mem tai and moral well being Of the peo- pie. Finally. the liquor interests, by their greed and desire 10 dominate all the political institutions of the l country in the interest Of their spo- cial traffic, forced public spirited citizens of all parties to do battle against the corrupting power of the . saloon in American life. There are { more reasons today than have ever been before why America should up- | hold and enforce prohibition"
