Broadway. Miss Wisher and her mother, Mrs. H. M. Wisher, were invited to the Jackson home to spend the evening. Shortly after they arrived Miss Jackson mentioned she had an errand most door and upon returning headed a "bridal" procession all in most grotesque costumes. To the strains of the wedding march the bride and groom, attended by the maid and best man and the ring bearer and flower girl, took their places before the officiating minister. Following the services the wedding party and guests were invited in to the breakfast nook where a wedding menu was served, consisting of post tonics, coffee, toast, grape nuts, and strawberries, taped off with an elaborate wedding cake. Following the ceremony, the "bride and groom" presented Miss Wisher with a basket containing many lovely gifts of a miscellaneous nature.

BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY The chums were just going to sleep when a Roman candle fell on the roof of the woodshed. Some sparks fell down and set fire to the straw on which the chums were sleeping and in a few minutes' straw, woodshaded and all were in a blaze, and they only escaped with their lives because they were high jumpers and thus able to jump through the little window in the side of the shed. Billy was so large that he could not make it the first time, and he fell back into the fire, but the second time he went through, taking half the side of the woodshaded with him. His hair was all on fire, but he had sense enough to roll in the sand and put it out instead of running. If you run when your clothes are on fire, you only feed the flames with the breeze you make and the fire burns faster than ever. When it was all out, Billy went down to the lake and had a good swim to rid himself of the smell of burnt hair. When he came back, he was surprised to see a ring of people encircling something that was making them laugh and elap their hands with delight. When he was near enough to stick his head between the crowd of people, what do you suppose he saw? There were Stubby and Button flying round and round, being chased by Fourth of July nigger chasers or snakes, as some people call this kind of fireworks. They are funny looking things that when set on fire twist and turn like live snakes, and no one can tell where they are going next. The consequences are that they are always surprising one and coming after them when they lease expect it. The crowd had conceived the idea of making a circle so Stubby and Button could not run away, and then setting off a lot of these to chase them. It was Stubby's and Button's frantic efforts to escape that had caused all the fun and laughter. "Here is the goat!" called out a lad. "Let's get him in the ring too!" But instead of getting him in the ring as proposed, that lad found himself going up in the air like a balloon, one of Billy's mighty butts having sent him. This broke up the party and when all had disappeared and the three friends were alone again, Billy said, "Didn't I tell you the Fourth of July was a bad day for animals?" (Tomorrow Billy goes to school.) FULLERTON BRIEFSE The regular weekly meeting of the Fullerton Kiwanis club was held at noon yesterday with a fair attendance considering the vacation season. The five minute talks were omitted. The speaker of the day was Earl Meister of the California Junior Republic of Chino, who spoke on the boy problem.

COLLEGE SLAYERS WIN FIRST POINT (Continued from Page One) "It is mandatory your honor," he shouted again, and again, and again. "It is true, Mr. Crowe," said the court, "that when these boys pleaded guilty to this crime the court accepted their pleas of guilt as sane men. "But if evidence of their mental state is not to be taken, how is the court to know whether they were competent to plead guilty? Certainly I have a right to know whether these boys are competent. I cannot allow the attorneys here to waive the rights of those boys. "Whenever, gentlemen, in the opinion of this court, these boys are insane, the court will instruct the withdrawal of their plea of guilt, and the entering of a plea of not guilty." CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO. July 30.—Nathan F. Leopold, and Richard A. Loeb won their first legal engagement today in the efforts that their wealthy families are making to save them from going to the guilows for the murder of little Bobble Franks. Justice John R. Caverly, sitting as the sole judge of their fate, ruled that their attorneys could put on the witness stand alienists and men of medical science to testify concerning the mental, moral and pathological character of the two collegians. The tactical victory for the young collegians was, however, immediately placed in jeopardy by the state's attorneys who protested Judge Caverly's decision bitterly. They said he was exceeding his authority in permitting such testimony in the trial, that any decision he ultimately renders will be void under the circumstances. Judge Caverly declared, "This PEGGY THRU WITH MARRIED LIFE NEW YORK, July 30.—"She told me she had been married only twice, but I found out I was her fifth husband." The tall, handsome Count Gosta Morner, a picture of woe despite his athletic build and well-tailored appearance, today in an interview gave this as one of the reasons why he is suing the fascinating Peggy Hopkins Joyce for the annulment of their marriage, which was solemnized in Atlantic City on June 2. "Misrepresentation and fraud," he declared, will be the basis of his charges. NEW YORK, July 30—Peggy Hopkins Joyce, blonde beauty of the stage and internationally known as a "heart breaker" is thru with married life. She's going to forget all about love, go back to her professional career as an actress—and die an old maid. Five matrimonial failures are enough. Her latest and "only romance"—her marriage to the handsome but not wealthy, Count Gosta Morner, has gone to smash on the rocks of reality, and there is nothing for petite Peggy to do but try and forget. The fascinating countess does not care "that"—she said today with a snap of her jewelled fingers—for the Swedish nobleman's title—the she'll give it up willingly and just as nicely as the judge will let her. All she wants now is her free dom. She's absolutely thru "with paying any of the count's bills," she said. That's one of the big reasons, she explained why she and the court didn't get along. SEVERAL HURT IN ATTACK ON KLAN LANCASTER, Mass., July 30— Tension was still high here today following the rioting between Ku Klux Klanmen and anti-klan followers, in which several were so seriously injured they are being treated in a local hospital. More than a score were slightly injured, or at least were able to be removed from the scene of two clashes before police could get their names. State, county and municipal authorities of Lancaster and Spencer continued today to patrol the district where at times mobs of nearly a thousand men and boys engaged in a battle in which shotguns loaded with salt, rocks and other missiles were used by both sides. Several automobiles were damaged and some property was destroyed. The rioting started when klansmen opened a meeting on the farm of Charles Schumaker, near bire, and another on Warren Wilson's farm. About 500 men and boys began hurling rocks and the battle was on. At Lancaster, a mob of 100 men and boys surrounded 500 men and boys surrounded and throwing missiles and using firearms. Both factions booed town officials who tried to stop the rioting. LONDON—British newspapers today printed dispatches from South America stating that the Brabian rebels had withdrawn from Sao Paulo for the purpose of attacking Rio de Janeiro. The Glass Of Fashion The tactical victory for the young collegians was, however, immediately placed in jeopardy by the state's attorneys who protested Judge Caverly's decision bitterly. They said he was exceeding his authority in permitting such testimony in the trial, that any decision he ultimately renders will be void under the circumstances. Judge Caverly declared, "This is not a sanity trial, but this court is entitled to hear all the testimony bearing on this crime," including that of the alienists. He said, too, that if at any time he became convinced that the dapper young students were insane, he would instruct their counsel to withdraw their pleas of guilty, enter pleas of not guilty and throw the case before a jury. State's Attorney Crowe heatedly accused the defense of attempting to set up an insanity defense under another name, and he said that if Judge Caverly sends them to the gallows, Clarence Darrow could take an appeal to the supreme court and he, Crowe, would be compelled to confess error in the case because of Caverly's ruling in regard to the alienists' testimony. When the afternoon session began State's Attorney Crowe and the defense attorneys were called to the bench by Judge Caverly and he addressed them in low tones, almost confidentially. "I am still of the opinion, gentlemen," he said, "that I should hear this evidence, and then when I hear it, I can decide on its competency. I might order stricken out the testimony of one doctor, or two doctors, or all of them, so far as that goes." "If I hear this evidence," continued the court, "then it cannot be said that I arbitrarily imposed a penalty without a full knowledge of the circumstances." Attorney Darrow stated: "There is no intention on the part of the defense to plead legal insanity. We have admitted that on the 21st day of May, when this crime was committed, these boys were legally sane. We are not now denying that. "It is our position here that the question of insanity which is asserted or attempted to be asserted as a defense, ordinarily is a legal matter which deals with the question of the capacity of the defendants to distinguish between right and wrong or choose between right and wrong. We do not intend to offer any evidence which bears on the capacity of these two defendants to distinguish between right and wrong as of the time of the commission of the offense on the 21st day of May, 1924." LONDON—British newspapers today printed dispatches from South America stating that the Brazilian rebels had withdrawn from São Paulo for the purpose of attacking Rio de Janjero. The Glass Of Fashion In the memory book of that most rigid old automat Fashion, one finds recorded those by-gone days when "ladies put on their gloves in the house, and women puff them on in the street." Nowadays, however, Fashion unbends sufficiently to permit both ladies and women to slip their gloves on either before going out, or unheard-of liberty! — even in the public gaze. This season Fifth Avenue and New York's Fashionable Fifties are seeing, besides this change, other new styles in gloves. Whether because the year's unusual number of novelty styles makes it easy, or because their attractiveness makes it desirable, it is quite as fast to have your gloves match your costume. Above are sketched by Kayser two exclusive silk modes: one with French cuff lined with chamoisette, and three-row twotoned point, the other adorned with a tightly-plaited Queen Elizabeth ruffle and a three-row soft point. The argument continued on the statutes, the state's attorneys contending that under the laws of Illinois there was no other alternative for the court but to call a jury if the alienists were to be allowed to describe the youthful murderers as abnormal, queer and of twisted moral and mental state. The court listened patiently, interrupting now and then with a remark as to what the supreme court had ruled in such cases. "Blackstone says," — observed one of Crowe's aids. "I didn't ask you about Blackstone," snapped the court. "I said 'what has the supreme of Illinois said?'" Time out was taken while clerks were dispatched for bulky volumes of authorities and precedents. The famous Gene Geary case was cited. Geary was a notorious south side gunman who shot a policeman and was sentenced to death. His attorneys contended that he became insane while awaiting execution, and won their case, so that Geary is now in the state hospital for the criminal insane. Yes," said Judge Caverly, "and if Geary ever reaches sanity again will then be the duty of the criminal court to set the date for his execution." Crowe contended there can be no mitigation in a crime as utrocious and brutal as this. "The question before this court is," remarked Judge Caverly, "have I the right to hear all the evidence in this case, or have I not?" While the lawyers clustered closely about Judge Caverly's bench arguing and wrangling, the question of insanity which is asserted or attempted to be asserted as a defense, ordinarily is a legal matter which deals with the question of the capacity of the defendants to distinguish between right and wrong or choose between right and wrong. We do not intend to offer any evidence which bears on the capacity of these two defendants to distinguish between right and wrong or to choose between right and wrong as of the time of the commission of the offense on the 21st day of May, 1824."
