DOHENY WINS FIRST POINT IN COURT LOS ANGELES, July 21.—The Pan-American Petroleum Co., headed by E. L. Doheny, against which the government is prosecuting a suit to cancel oil leases granted it in the Elks Hill field, today won its first legal encounter with the government. A motion made by former Senator Atlee Pomerene, special assistant attorney general for the United States, that the case be set for trial on Sept. 2, was denied by Federal Judge Paul J. McCormnick. The denial was made upon the dual ground that the date arbitrarily selected by the government counsel in chief would not permit the proper preparation of the case and that the calendar in the discount here would not allow its being heard on that day. Judge McCormick, after stating that he "saw no difference between this case and other equity cases, set in this court" then set the trial date tentatively for October 29, the case then being dependent upon the conclusion of the Mammoth Oil case in Cheyenne, Wyo., at which Senator Pomerene also is government counsel. Previous to the setting of the case for trial, causel for both sides indulged in lengthy oral arguments.

JAPAN WILL HAVE EMBASSY IN CHINA TOKIO, July 21.—Japan's decision to raise its legation in China to an embassy will not depend upon the action of the United States in this regard, it was declared in government circles here today. However, it was learned that in case the United States takes such a step there probably will be an attempt on the part of Japan to grant such recognition first. The elevation of the legations to embassies is regarded here as most important because of the action of the Russian in exchanging ambassadors with China, thus giving the soviet government the deanship of the diplomatic corps unless other nations raise the status of their diplomatic representatives.

Re-cast Ashes of Mother Into Sea SAN DIEGO, July 21.—The cremated ashes of Mrs. Jane Reynolds, sealed in a copper urn and which were cast up by the sea at Ocean Beach yesterday, will again be given to "the god of storms, the lightning and the gale," according to her daughter, Mrs. Minnie R. Doud. "My mother's ashes were kept at home since her death four years ago," Mrs. Doud said. "Father died June 10 of last year. It was their wish that their ashes be cast into the ocean upon the first anniversary of the last to die. "Without ceremony, I fulfilled their wish, a simple prayer preceding the throw of the ash urn from Sunset Cliffs on an out-going tide 40 days ago. I have not decided the date on which Lahalle." FOREST HILL FIRE UNDER CONTROL Governor Blames Forest Service for Hazard in U.S. Reserves SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.—The first troops to be sent to AIDEUPE Says Help Will Come Thru Experts and Not Thru Government LONDON, July 21.—Speaking here tonight before the historic pilgrim's society, Charles E. Hughes, American secretary of state, pledged the full assistance of the United States in bringing about a settlement of the European reparations problem. Hughes made a clear distinction, however, between the aid of the United States as a government and aid thru the lending of financial and economic experts. Discussing the Dawes plans, the secretary pointed out that had the American government as such become involved the situation would have been obstructed with "demands, objections and instructions." "You may count upon our interest and assistance in necessary measures to insure the economic rehabilitation of Europe," Hughes assured his distinguished audience. "It does not matter that this aid is not given by the government. Without wishing to say anything controversial on this occasion, I may give it as my conviction that had we attempted to make America's contribution a governmental matter, we should have been involved in hopeless debate and there would have been no adequate extension. We have been beset with demands, objections and instructions. You have the Dawes plan and you have had the participation of American experts with the liberty of constructive efforts which was essential because it was undertaken in the only way in which success was possible." America's original contribution of "disinterested advice," Hughes intimated, will be followed later by "participation" in the absolutely "essential loans" upon which the success of the Dawes plan will depend in large measure. In this connection, he warned that discussion will be futile unless the arrangements ultimately made are "satisfactory to the investing public" and as a parting admonition, added: "Failure will invite chaos. There is gain to no one in that." CROKER CHILDREN CONTINUE BATTLE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 21.—Children of the late Richard Croker, former Tammany Hall chieftain, continued their battle to gain possession of a part of his mammoth estate today when Richard Croker, Jr., filed a My mother's ashes were kept at home since her death four years ago."

I have not decided the date on which I shall return mother's remains to the ocean." FIRES FIVE TIMES AT SPEEDER A spectacular race between two high-powered autos at midnight on the San Diego highway in which five shots were fired upon the leading car by State Motor Officer F. G. Yoder of Santa Ana, ended with a session in the court of Judge John Landell in San Juan Capistrano at 1 a.m. today, when Carlisle William was fined $250 and sentenced to 90 days in jail on a charge of reckless driving and his companion, R. R. Williams, was fined $250 and sentenced to 60 days for the alleged illegal possession of intoxicating liquor. The convicted men said they lived at 610 Detwiler-bldg., Los Angeles. When Carlisle peeled $500 bills from a large roll and paid the two fines, Judge Landell suspended the jail terms. According to Deputy Sheriff Ed McClellan, Williams attempted to race the auto containing the two officers. With the siren screaming and the red spotlight warning autoists ahead to clear the highway, the officers gave chase, dodging autos along the way while the speedometer displayed the 65-mile-a-hour mark for nearly five miles. At times the eight-cylinder car ahead slowed down suddenly, and when the brakes were applied the car several times swerved almost enough to overturn, McClellan declared. Realizing the chase was becoming dangerous to other autoists, while the officers' car failed to overtake Williams, Yoder leveled his revolver at the left rear fender. CONTROL Governor Blames Forest Service for Hazard in U.S. Reserves SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.—The first troops to be sent to guard national forest areas in California during the dangerous fire month of August will report in California national forest in the vicinity of Newhall and San Bernardino Aug. 1, it was announced today following a conference of staff officers of the ninth corps area here and U.S. District Forester Paul G. Redington. SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.—The dangerous Forest Hill divide fire in Tahoe national forest was brought under control today after devastating more than 16,000 acres of valuable timber lands, it was announced here today by the United States forester's office. Less than 200 men are being held at the scene of the conflagration to combat one or two minor areas of the blaze which are expected to be quenched early today. "We have a fire line around all of the danger spots and with the exception of one or two minor portions of the fire, it is now definitely controlled," said a report received from Supervisor R.L. P. Bigelow. All other blazes in national forests were reported to be controlled. Conditions were described today as being "better than for many weeks." SACRAMENTO, July 21.—Charging that "the real onus is on the national forest service" and that the federal service is building up an organization instead of protecting the forest, a statement was made public at Governor Richardson's office today under signature of Assemblyman Ernst Dozier of Redding which seeks to shift the responsibility for the state's fire losses from the state to the national administration. Assemblyman Dozier's statement was made public by Governor Richardson, who prefaced it with the declaration that Dozier told him the "policy of the national forest reserve is responsible for the fire condition of the national forests." "I am not attempting to minimize the dangers of the extraordinary dry year," said the statement, "but the policies of the forest service appear to be building up an organization rather than protecting forests. Brush has been allowed to accumulate for several years until the sheen cannot go." CROKER CHILDREN CONTINUE BATTLE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 21.—Children of the late Richard Croker, former Tammany Hall chieftain, continued their battle to gain possession of a part of his mammoth estate today when Richard Croker, Jr., filed a $250,000 damage suit against Mrs. Bula F.

HARRIS GUILTY Their Families Do Not Want Them Released, States Counsel By CARL W. HARRIS I.N.S. Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 21.—Hanging, imprisonment for life or imprisonment for a term not less than 14 years are the only three alternatives facing 19-year-old Nathan Leopold, Jr., and 18-year-old Richard Loeb, their attorney, Clarence Darrow, stated this afternoon, after a visit with the boys in their cells at the county jail. Both boys were told about it. The pleas of guilty entered, Darrow explained, preclude any possibility of either or both being sent to an insane asylum, regardless of the outcome of a possible hearing before a sanity commission. Such a hearing only could show "mitigating mental unbalance" upon which they might escape death on the gallows. CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, CHICAGO, July 21.—In one of the most dramatic scenes ever enacted, Attorney Clarence Darrow, chief of counsel for the defense in the trial of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb today withdrew pleas of not guilty to charges of kidnapping and slaying Robert Franks, Jr., 13-year-old school boy, and entered pleas of guilty for them. He asked that their mentality be inquired into by the court, and Chief Justice Caverly of the criminal court immediately set Wednesday as the date on which he would announce his ruling. Clarence Darrow, chief defense attorney, declared after the hearing that he would ask that the boys be incarcerated in the state prison at Joliet and not at the hospital for the criminal insane at Chester. "I want it explicitly understood that the relatives have no intention whatever of securing their freedom," he said. "While the pleas of guilty show them legally sane, yet mentally they are insane, and we are going to produce evidence of extenuating circumstances which should be considered." State's attorney Crowe announced immediately after the change of the pleas that the fact would make no difference at all in the determination of the state to send the boys to the gallows. “There is only one just punishment and I shall insist upon the death penalty,” he declared. and a small daughter, Janice; also her mother, Mrs. Fredick Schwan and a sister Lucy Schwan, and brother, Charles F. Schwan, who are members of the household. Funeral services will be tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., in the Backs, Terry & Campbell chapel, Rev. J. A. Geissinger officiating, with interment in the family lot at Loma Vista. Mrs. Witman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Schwan, was born in Lowdonville, Ohio, on March 15, 1878. With her family she had resided in Anaheim for 13 years, where she was active in the jewelry business with her son and husband, and particularly after the death of Mr. Witman, in October, 1922, when she assumed charge of the Fullerton store. She had been a patient in Loma Linda sanitarium for some time but at her request was brot home several weeks ago, where she greatly enjoyed the presence of her family. The Messrs. G. W. Sandilands, Charles B. Hutchinson, Lee Pitzer, G. C. Pennington, E. H. Cowdrey and Dr. Walter Bigham, will serve as pall bearers. IDENTIFY BALL OF STRANGLED YOUTH NEW YORK, July 21.—A rubber ball found in the pocket of Zonas Wade, alias Smith, held in Newark, N. J., was positively identified today by Mrs. Albert McDonnell, Port Richmond, Staten Island, as belonging to her son, Francis, 7, brutally strangled to death in a field near his home. The identification of the ball, which was taken to Staten Island by detectives checking up on the story told by Wade, is the first important case that has come to light since the murder, according to Captain of Detectives Ernest Van Wagner. PROVIDE SELECTION OF U. S. MEDIATOR LONDON, July 21.—Reports of the sub-committee on sanctions' of the allied conference of the Dawes reparations plan, practically provides for the selection of an American mediator in the event of German default, according to published reports of the decisions of the committee here today. State's attorney Crowe announced immediately after the change of the pleas that the fact would make no difference at all in the determination of the state to send the boys to the gallows. "There is only one just punishment and I shall insist upon the death penalty," he declared. Amid tense excitement each prisoner responded "guilty" when called by name and asked his plea. As Richard Loeb, in a subsequent voice, announced his guilt, Jacob H. Loeb, uncle of the boy, who was sitting nearby, burst into tears. Then Attorney Benjamin Bachrach, associated with Mr. Darrow in defense of the boys, asked permission to speak. "Since the start of the Franks case we have come into contact with many men of science. We have asked them to report truthfully on what they have found. They have done so. Now these men have ideals. They do not want the medical work to take part in a vaudeville show. When sanity is the basis of a case sometimes this happens. One set says one thing, the other side, the other." Our alienists have written out a set of questions for the states' attorney's allies." Mr. Bachrach continued. States Attorney Crowe interrupted: "If there is any contention in this case that these defendants are insane, call a jury of 12 men and let's find it out," he said. "Your honor, these men are legally responsible for their acts. Haven't they made a plea of guilt? No longer is it a question of sanity or insanity." State's Attorney Crowe announced he would comply with the suggestion since there would be no argument over facts in the case. Judge Caverly told attorneys for each side they still would have until Aug. 4 to get ready for the real battle in the case. That was the date originally set for the trial proper to start. "We are ready, your honor, at any time," Mr. Crowe told the court. "We have, however, some (Continued on Page Three)
