Lew Wallace, whose $50,000 suit for slander against Lee Pfau of Balboa in superior court failed yesterday, was given a rising acknowledgment of confidence. Secretary V. D. Johnson of the Orange C. of C. said Wallace's work for the county always had been sincere. All of the 125 or so present got on their feet and applauded. Continuing, Johnson said it was too bad the county didn't have more "crooks" like Wallace. Wallace was overcome. Pfau had accused Wallace of placing funds of Newport Beach in his bank and not paying interest on them. Wallace answered that "collection of interest and then paying it out for clerical help simply would be washing one hand with the other." Secretary A. L. Oliger of the Santa Ana C. of C. who was introduced, promised his co-operation. A resolution was passed in behalf of his predecessor J. C. Metzger, who for years served as secretary of the Associated C.'s of C.

The figures of the various associations will not be in for a few days yet, and the exchange will not be prepared to issue its report probably until next Wednesday. On top of cuts in estimates already aggregating 25 per cent or more, this announcement is significant. July shipments from No. Orange-co, including Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Olive, La Hahra, the Bastanchury and Chapman ranches and the rest of the country shipping from these points, were approximately 560 cars less than in June, the figures being roughly 1300 cars past month and 1850 the preceding. These totals include lemons, but valencia oranges comprised by far the largest proportion. Shipments of the M. O. D., and other independents also are comprised in these figures. August shipments are nearly always less than July, unless unforeseen trade conditions make it necessary or worthwhile to increase amounts. The smaller shipments already have resulted in better prices even for small sizes, and the market may strengthen still further before Sept. 1. BENCHLEY VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA Edward K.

Loeb, the young collegians who are facing the noose or life imprisonment, for their Defense Alienist Says Leopold’s Mind is Constructive CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—A definite line of cleavage was drawn this afternoon between Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, the young collegians who are facing the noose or life imprisonment for their sanguinary murder of little Bobble Franks. It was drawn by Dr. William White, the first of the defense alienists to take the stand to testify to the abnormalities of the two boys. Dr. White expressed the opinion as an expert that Loeb’s was the real criminal mind behind the kidnapping and murder of the little boy and that it was Loeb’s hand, not Leopold’s that actually wielded the taped chisel with which the youngster’s skull was shattered. Dr. White said he based his opinion upon his extensive mental examinations of the students and upon what they told him, altho he admitted that neither had ever told him directly who struck the blows. “Dickle” Loeb, “Angellface Dickle” the girls used to call him, has been tending toward a career of crime and ultimately self-destruction since boyhood. Dr. White said, while Leopold has made steady progress toward eliminating and expelling from his mentality the “anti-society ideas” that gripped both young men. Leopold has a constructive mind despite this crime, Dr. White said, while Loeb’s is “disintegrating and destructive.” From the standpoint of intellectual alone, the psychiatrist described both boys as equal, if not superior to their ages, but emotionally, he found them “infantile—not more than fodg or five years old.” Both were continually subjected to phantasies, lived in a “dream world” and allowed their infantile emotions to get the upper hand on their intellects. The defense finished shortly before court adjourned and he was turned over to State’s Attorney Crowe for cross examination. Crowe brot out the fact that Dr. White was being paid at the "regular per diem rate of $250 a day" for his work in the Leopold-Loeb case. Both Leopold and Loeb, White said, were "abnormal" on the date of the murder, May 21. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Young “Dickle” Loeb, who with Nathan F.

COMMITTEE BACKS LAFOLLETTE ALANTIC CITY, Aug. 1.—Enforcement of the progressive party's presidential candidate, Robert M. LaPollette and Burton K. Wheeler, was recommended to the executive council of the A.P. of L. today by the federation's special non-partisan political campaign committee. Samuel Gompers, veteran president of the federation, headed the committee that urged support of the La Pollette ticket. Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation, and James O'Connell also secured the report. Introducing of the report, followed by an appeal by Gompers for its adoption, was the chief business at the initial session of the executive council of 11 members. The report, analyzed fully the platforms adopted by the three major parties, Republican, Democratic and Progressive, and the platforms were compared with labor's demands, which the federation submitted to each of the national conventions. The platforms adopted by the Republicans and Democrats, the report charged, failed to include the planks which the federation most desired, particularly in connection with domestic issues. The question of how the federation could unite its support behind La Pollette was left for the council to decide. Indications were a poll revealed that the report would have easy sledding in the council and might be unanimously adopted. The council also had before it a plan for granting the federation's support to all congressional candidates, regardless of party affiliations whose records showed them in sympathy with labor's legislative policies. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Young "Dickie" Loeb, who with Nathan F. Leopold, Jr. coolly kidnapped and murdered little Bobbie Franks and stuffed his body down a drain pipe, has been "a dream child and a phantasy worshipper" since early childhood. These conclusions were reached by Dr. William A. White, a noted sphysiatrist, and spread up on the records of Leopold-Loeb trial today over the constant and anarling objections of the state's attorneys, who continually protested that Dr. White was trying to describe the young skayers as insane, without actually stating so, and thus afford a "mitigating circumstance" that may both boys from the gallows. Dr. White gained the witness stand after the state had battled for more than two days to keep him off. The end of the state's fight to prevent the dozen aliens from testifying came at the morning session, after a dramatic scene. In which State's Attorney Crowe had levelled his finger at young Loeb and accused the defense of setting up the plea: "It was all a boyish prank. That is not blood on his hands. It is jam." "Dickie" gave the state's attorney stare for store and a moment later grinned broadly at him when Judge Caverley overruled the state's objection to any specialists in mental diseases from testifying. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Judge John R. Caverly flung wide open the door today for a dozen aliens to submit evidence of the "mental disease" functional in character, which they say afflicts both Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, and is largely responsible for their cool murder of little Bobble Franks. It is upon the testimony of these alienists that the lawreform defending the two students will seek to save them from the hand (Continued on Page Four.)
