ONE KILLED, ONE DYING IN DUEL PLANET MAIN GRIPPED BY STORM Disturbance Traced Astronomers Last Night and Early Today LOWELL OBSEVRATIO FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 22 The planet Mars is gripped severely storm, American scientist told International News Service here today. Resembling a snow storm in pearance, the disturbance Chicagoans Struggle To Hear Long-awaited Dramatics CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO. Aug. 22.—Clarence Darrow made his long awaited plea for mercy this afternoon for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Leeb, the college boys who slew brutally for a thrill. And Chicago rioted and staggered to hear him. A mutilating jostling throng of thousands congregated around the grayish criminal court building, hundreds jammed their way past the cordons and lines of police and frantic bailiffs that sought to stop them. "Terrible, terrible!" said Darrow, as he stood in front of the judge's bench and surveyed the riotous hallway, where women struggled and fought with men to get close to the doorway in the hope that they might get near enough to hear Darrow make his plea. "If those people at the door persist, bring them up here and I'll send somebody over to jail," snapped Judge Caverly, at last. "Don't let anybody else in—no matter who." Darrow began his plea in a voice that barely penetrated the corners of the court room. The crowd outside was yelling. His voice was soft as a woman's. Half a dozen times in his first hundred words he was interrupted by sounds of conflict at the door. He could not continue. Judge Caverly's wrath rose higher and higher. The people in the hall howled louder and louder. This disorder became so great at 2:15 after Darrow had several times been forced to halt, that Judge Caverly left his bench to bring renewed pressure to bear on the deputies and police to clear the building. Meanwhile, the two causes of all the fuss and turmoil, Loeb and Leopold, sat and enjoyed the show. They got "a great kick out of it," they said. They fairly doubled up with laughter at the sight of the fat bailiffs struggling with the mob. "Is that hall still packed?" asked Judge Caverly at 2:25. "Yes," yelled the bailiff at the door. "There are four of your friends out here judge, who want in." "Let 'em stay out," roared Judge Caverly, and the crowd roared with laughter. It required half an hour to clear the sixth floor, so Darrow could begin again. He spoke of the difficulties of his case, and first and foremost be put the amount of publicity this case has received. "When the public wants punishment of a criminal they only think of one punishment and that is death," he said. CALEXICO, Aug. 22.—As the result of a duel staged in a lonely grove with seconds and witnesses, Daltonzar San Vicente, former Calexico policeman, is dead here today and Jose Flores, corporal in the Mexican, Mexico police department, is dying. The two men, quarrelling over a girl, fought to the death with pistols. The duel took place late last night at Curves, a small settlement east of Mexicali, where the men went to fight it out after San Vicente had formally challenged Flores. The girl, it was said, originally loved the Calexico officer but later gave her heart to Flores.

The planet Mars is gripped by severe storm, American scientists told International News Service here today. Resembling a snow storm in appearance, the disturbance traced last night and early to by the astronomers, who said small dark speck has been waded as it slowly moved across Mt. The storm, the astronomers first appeared below the Mars equator and appeared to be moving northward at a fairly speed. This morning it had caused the equator and spread out, coming much "thinner." Scientists said the storm erased territory about as large as the states of Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. The storm, the astrologer sorted, had every appearance a violent snowstorm or blizzard forming in the mountains of Mt. and then spreading. At first the surface of the planet was obscured by the storm gradually conditions cleared. The American scientists clared they were almost certain that disturbance was a snow storm or cyclone, but if this was so it was more severe than anything similar occurring on earth. The delicate measure installed of Dr. W., W., Coblentz Washington, D., C., which was affected by him to measure radiation failed to detect a change in temperature during the storm. Dr.Coblentz said this was due to the fact that the storm covered comparatively small area. Dr.Coblentz said today that four American astronomers at its observatory were convinced Mars is much warmer than expected. He declared that this mer season is now approaching the distant planet and that south polar "snow" cap had not fully receded, indicating that Martian temperature was almost as high as that of the earth. Changes noted in the plan this week; he said, indicate changes in possible vegetation on the planet, denoting possibly some crops and habitation as substantiating claims advanced Dr. Lowell some time ago. NOT FROM MARS VANCOUVER B., C., Aug. 22 University and other scientists here after mature that give on "Let 'em stay out," roared Judge Caverly, and the crowd roared with laughter. It required half an hour to clear the sixth floor, so Dawrow could begin again. He spoke of the difficulties of his case, and first and foremost be put the amount of publicity this case has received. "When the public wants punishment of a criminal they only think of one punishment and that is death," he said. "When the public speaks as one man it is always for killing a man. We have been in this stress and strain for three months. We did what we could, and all we could get the confidence of the public. "It was announced that millions of dollars would be spent on this defense. Wild and extravagant stories were published. We announced to the public that not excessive amount of money would be used in this case. "We have faithfully kept that promise we made to the public. The psychiatrists are getting a per diem as is being paid by the state. Attorneys by their own request have agreed to take such amounts as the Chicago Bar Ass' deems just. If we have failed in this case it won't be because of lack of money, it will be because of money. Money is the greatest handicap we have had. "Had this been the case of two boys without great wealth, there is not a state's attorney in Illinois that would not have at once consented to a plea of guilty and a prison sentence for Keen No prosecutor could have justified it. We have come into this court without evidence, without arraignment and we would have got what every judge in Chicago KN given every boy in Chicago who pleads gulity. "We are here with the lives of two boys imperilled with the public aroused. Why? Because their parents have money. Nothing else." "Never has there been a case in Chicago wherein a plea of guilty by a boy under 21 has been sentenced to death. I will raise that age and say never has there been a case where a human being under the age of 28 or 30 has (Continued on Page Six)" OFFERS $250 REWARD George Shaffer today offered $250 reward for arrest of thieves who have been taking oranges from his ranch at La Veta and Main-sts, Orange.

Martians may be too busy getting in the winter coal to bother signalling the earth. The first of a series of photographs of the planet on its nearest visit to earth taken here distinctly shows a white "V" extending toward the equator from the antarctic circle. Astronomers say it might either be a fresh snow storm or a glacier, at any rate the deduction is that Mars has a "cold spell" on hand for those residing south of the Martian equator. Work of photographing and observing the planet will continue for ten days. No scientific conclusions are being given out by the scientists gathered here.

"When ever any organization," Davis said, "the matter what it choose to be called, whether Ku Klux Klan or by any other name, raises the standard of racial or religious belief a test of fitness for public office.

GLASS FACTORY WILL KEEP BUSY The McBride Glass Co. has orders on hand to keep its facilities. Not Facing Mental Breakdown is Assertion of Experts Today LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22. Statements of Dr. Cecil Reynolds, defense alienist, that "Kid" McCoy, charged with having murdered Mrs. Teresa Mors, the victim of a "well marked incipient case of paresis," were denied today by alienists employed by District Attorney Keyes, who have pronounced McCoy sane. Dr. Reynolds is an English brain specialist. "We made a careful examination of McCoy and found no symptoms of paresis," said Dr. Victor Parkin and Dr. Paul Bowers. "We found that his memory, intellect and sense of judgment were that of a normal man." Dr. Reynolds, who examined McCoy at the county jail, reported to McCoy's lawyers that the "kid's" mental weakness is such that if he lives three years he will be completely paralyzed and totally demented. The paresis, according to Dr. Reynolds, is the result of a blood infection and excessive addiction to alcohol. "The disease is in its early stage," Dr. Reynolds reported. "I have known McCoy for three years and have noticed his recent exhibitions of arrogance and innocence. McCoy is not physically powerful any more. It is characteristic of paresis for him to claim now that he is in better physical shape than he ever was. "The blood tests made by the district attorneys' alienists were valueless because McCoy's system was saturated with alcohol at the time they were made. From a clinical standpoint the tests are of minor importance anyway. "There is a weakness in the right side of McCoy's mouth, a paralysis, and there is a low grade inflammation at the back of the left eye. He is unsteady on his feet and his speech is affected. The membrane of the brain has begun to thicken and sooner or later this will bring about his death. McCoy is suffering from a well marked incipient case of paresis and is undoubtedly a dangerous man. Acts of violence are common in the early stages of paresis." MAN MURDERED NEAR WHITTIER LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.

Mors had nine years to take good and be lost. “The first time we saw each other it was all off with both of us. Mors tried to win her back but after fighting and wrangling he consented to get a divorce. We treat it all settled.” The former prize fighter said he told Mrs. Mors he had a bad reputation and that it might ruin her. “But she said she didn’t care what the world that.

LISCOVICH PAYS STATEMENT BY MAYOR METCALF Concerning the voluminous attacks recently made on him, Mayor Metcalf said today: "I am quite willing to let the people of Orange-co judge the matter without extended controversy from me. "It is unfortunate for Mr. Hartranft to be championed by the mouthpiece of the old Anaheim 'wet' machine. To have the apparently solid support of those who always supported the open calcon and, when in office, never teck effective measures against the secret galoons—the bootlayers, cannot help but hurt his candidacy. Why this is so I do not know. "I have no reluctance nor hesitation in saying of Mr. Hartranft personally, as I did of Mr. Allen, that I have been his neighbor for a number of years and have a high personal regard for him. It was this high personal regard that secured my name to his nominating paper, not knowing at the time that he would be adopted as their representative by the old Anaheim 'wet' machine. "The new alignment made continued support of Mr. Hartranft impossible. It is possible there are others who feel the same way." "E. H. METCALF." ORANGE COUNTY LIONS TO PICNIC Plans for a county wide Lions club picnic were discussed at today's lancheon meeting of Anaheim Lions. The affair will take place at Orange-co park in the near future. Several Brea Lions whose club is not meeting during August, were present at today's gathering. Griff Barnett, local dramatic trainer, furnished the entertainment today, giving some interesting readings. A phone call was sent in to Los Wilsp, who is ill Hope for a speedy recovery was voiced. Reports Indicate Swing, Kline, Woodward and Allen Will Win Predictions, based on reports coming in from many sources, were being freely made today that the "Big Four"—Swing, Kline, Allen and Woodward — would sweep next Tuesday's primary election. And the victory will be obtained in spite of expenditure of large sums for other candidates. Sample, opponent of Swing for congress, apparently has unlimited money for his campaign. Backed by The Los Angeles Times, cleverly written and neatly printed pamphlets have been sent to every one of the 100,000 Republican voters in this district. There have been two different mailings to each one. Despite this and the fact that Sample's home is in San Diego-co, which has the heaviest vote, it was asserted today that Swing would win. Orange-co is expected to vote nearly two-to-one for the Imperial-co man, which would mean a majority here at least 5000. Imperial, Riverside and other counties will also give Swng a good margin to take into San Diego-co. The obviously mercenary motives of Harry Chandler of The Times in urgently supporting Sample, altho The Times is not published in this district, has sent a lot of support to Swing. Chandler has large land holdings in Mexico where cheap foreign labor is in competition with American farmers of the Imperial valley. Imperial-co is expected to endorse the All-American canal by voting for Swing at least two to one. Kline is expected to take each of the three counties in the state senatorship. Predictions have been made for a week that Kline will defeat Talbert in Huntington Beach, the latter's home town. Kline should get Orange-co by a comfortable majority and will run with Swing in Imperial and Riverside, it was declared. Talbert's attempt to take the senatorship out of turn hasn't listened good to the voters. Allen should have easy sailing for the state assembly with a heavy vote expected from all over the county. It was believed he would beat Ball in the south end of the county and Hartranft in the north with the chances that Hartranft will trail the trio. Allen has made heavy inroads on Hartranft in the last week since a series of letters in the Bulletin-Herald by Thomas Crawford. The fact that the old Anaheim political machine is fighting Allen has been the high sign for a big vote to go to the Anaheim man. The election of Perry Woodward and Allen Will Win LISCOVICH PAYS FOR DUAL MURDER FOLSOM PRISON, Aug. 22.—Martin Sliscovich of Sacramento day on the gallows here paid with his life for the double slaying of Mrs. Jennie Radman and an Sliscovich in November, 22.

CAPTURE SLAYER FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 22.—Miruel Romero, who shot and killed Juan Gonzales here July 4, has been captured by Sheriff W. A. Campbell in Guadalajara, Mexico, and will be brot here for trial, it was learned today. for the state assembly with a heavy vote expected from all over the county. It was believed he would beat Ball in the south end of the county and Hartraft in the north with the chances that Hartraft will trail the trio. Allen has made heavy inroads on Hartraft in the last week since a series of letters in the Bulletin-Herald by Thomas Crawford. The fact that the old Anaheim political machine is fighting Allen has been the high sign for a big vote to go to the Anaheim man. The election of Perry Woodward of Fullerton as supervisor was also taken for granted today. The feeling that there should be a change in the office, that the same old machine which has picked up Hartraft is also backing Schumacker, is a big element of strength for Woodward whose friends declare to be a most competent man. A heavy vote is anticipated much larger than usual for a primary. J. U. HEMMI TRIAL WILL OPEN SEPT. 16 Sept. 16 is the actual date of the opening of J. U.
