R. Belden today had lost his appeal to the superior court from the judgment of Justice of the Peace H. E. Hart, at Fullerton and was in the county jail beginning a sentence of 120 days on the charge. The charges involved failing to heed an officer's siren, reckless driving, possession of liquor. On the first charge he was fined $50. On the second he was assessed like fine and 30 days in jail. On the third he was sentenced to 90 days in jail. While Fullerton police were rushing for a supposed burglary they alleged that they came upon Belden sitting in a darkened car with a woman. The Belden car started down the main street of Fullerton at a furious clip, at which the officers abandoned their burglar hunt and went after Belden and his companion. After a wild ride, a collision of the police car and Belden's resulted in the arrest of the driver and his companion. Belden accused the officers of "laying for him" and aching for some sort of a chance to "send him up." He charged further that he was promised immunity for his companion if he would plead guilty to the three charges. After hearing affidavits by both sides Judge Z. B. West refused to reverse the lower court or to grant a retrial of the case.

Leopold Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, were "intellectually capable" of choosing between right and wrong on the day they kidnapped little Bob Alienist Makes This Admission Under Rigid Cross-Examination CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Both Nathan F. Leopold Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, were "intellectually capable" of choosing between right and wrong on the day they kidnapped little Bobble Franks and bashed his head in with a chisel and hid his body in an isolated culvert, but "morally they had no feeling attitude about it." This conclusion was drawn from Dr. William A. White, one of the alienists retained by the boys' wealthy families today, on cross examination by state's attorney Robert E. Crowe. That was as far as Crowe could get in pinning "legal responsibility" on the two young slayers thru their own alienist. Crowe grew sarcastic about Dr. White's statement that he had never discussed the crime itself in detail with either Loeb or Leopold. In determining their mental state on May 21, you thot it was more important to inquire into what happened when they were five years old than it was to ascertain the details of this astounding crime, didn't you?" demanded Crowe. "That isn't a fair statement," replied White. "I already knew the details of the crime." "You were not even sufficiently interested to inquire who did the actual murder?" sarcastically inquired Crowe. "I already knew when I got thru with my examination, without asking." White testified yesterday that in his opinion Loeb wielded the chisel. "Have you told us all about your examination?" No, I didn't mention yesterday the conversation I had with 'Babe' about what he would do if this case went against him. "He said that if it went against him and he was sentenced to hang, he would accumulate or write down ten of the world's great riddles, have them put in a safe deposit vault, have a commission of scientists appointed, and then after death he would try to solve these riddles in a spiritualistic seance from the other side." He also told me that probably several months would elapse between his sentence and his execution, and that would give him to write his philosophy and give it to the world, that he was now in a position, so to speak, where the world was his audience and would listen to him. He admitted that it was a philosophy of utter selfishness and universally adopted would They have wealth to wage endless legal battle and from the gallows, but Nathan Leopold, Sr. (left), and Jacob of Robert Franks, on the mercy of the Chicago court, in having their attorneys plead guilty for the boys, they ask be the punishment met out. They are shown as they appear. ALLIES AGREE UPON ALL POINTS (By David M. Church) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Aug. 2.—After a plenary session of two and one-half hours by the Allied Reparations Commission, Colonel J. A. Logan, official American observer, announced this afternoon that an agreement had been reached upon all points. The "Big Seven"—heads of the delegations—later went into conference to decide the terms of the invitation to Germany. The plenary session adopted the reports of the first and third committees, but the question of the future status was left to the "Big Seven" for adjustment. It was decided that there should be the right of appeal from the transfer committee—the committee which will transfer Germany's reparations payments to the allies' governments. Conservation of Food Necessities HONOLULU, Aug. 2.—United States' food production must be increased 30 percent in the very near future we are to maintain our standards," Dr. Howard, of the U.S. Bureau of Ecology and chairman of Pan-Pacific Conservation, declared in an address day. "The world population years hence will be four billion," he said, "and it pallingly obvious food conservation will be necessary; day we are planting thousands rather than our sects rather than our Food conservation must stressed as the only method besides birth control which will preserve life hope, perhaps indefinitely the human species, its pre commanding place on the planet." have a commission of scientists appointed, and then after death he would try to solve these ridges in a spiritualistic seance from the other side. He also told me that probably several months would elapse between his sentence and his execution, and that would give him to write his philosophy and give it to the world, that he was now in a position, so to speak, where the world was his audience and would listen to him. He admitted that it was a philosophy of utter selfishness and if universally adopted, would lead to world destruction." Time and again in a dozen different ways, the state's attorney tried to get a flat statement from Dr. White as to whether Leopold and Loeb are sane or insane, within the meaning of the law, but every time the words "legal insanity" or "sane" and "insane" crept into the questions, attorneys for the defense raised objections and always the court upheld them. Mentally sick" was the psychiatrist's description of both young slayers, but whether that sickness reached the point of insanity was a matter that Dr. White was forbidden to speak about. The cross-examination proceeded with constant bickering between the witnesses and the state's attorney. They fought over terms and shades of meaning and definitions of such words as "responsibility." Crowe insisted on straight "yes" or "no" answers to many of his shrewd questions, all designed to show that the young collegians are sane and responsible for the crime that has shocked Chicago as has no other in history. But Dr. White refused to give them in almost every instance, and they had sharp wrangles over it. Judge Caverly finally ruled that the alienist could answer those questions in his own way. Crowe then went into the aspect of the lying habits which Dr. White said both boys had contracted in their childhood. "If they lied to you, your conclusions are worth nothing, are they?" asked Crowe. "I don't think they lied." Crowe demanded of Dr. White, the "original report" made on his examination of the boys and declared in it the alienists had described both the young slayer (Continued on Page Two) The "Big Seven"—heads of delegations—later went into conference to decide the terms of the invitation to Germany.

A committee of jurists was appointed to draft regulations for appealing from the committee. It is expected that the invitation to the Germans will be sent to Berlin this evening. Colonel Logan characterized today's session as the "biggest step forward since the Versailles treaty." $5221 FOR CROP FROM 8½ ACRES Pitt Meier, one of the most efficient ranchers in the Anaheim district, has just sold his crop for each to the Osborne Fruit Co.
