CHWA CLAIMS SIX MILE GAIN Two Entire Compaand Four High OffiTaken in Advance (By Bert Kuhn) (I. N. S. Staff CorrespondeSHANGHAI, Sept. 6.—A mile gain along the river Claim Twisted Mentality of Youths Carried Out Mutilation CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—The twisted mentality of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb planned and carried out the mutilation of Charles Ream early on the morning of Nov. 20, 1923. This fact, hinted at by State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe in his closing argument for a hanging verdict for the two young collegians for the slaying of Robert Franks, was definitely established today by a person close to the defense of the two boys who, nevertheless, has never been mentioned by name. It was also established by the man who revealed today's facts that the Ream mutilation was not included in the crimes referred to by the alienists as "A, B, C, and D." These, according to today's information, refer to four arson cases—details of which he refused to reveal. The Ream mutilation up until today, had been an unsolved mystery. Ream, 22, was employed as a cab driver at the time. At 2 a.m. Nov. 20, 1923, he drove his cab to a garage and started to walk home. He noticed a large touring car drawn up at the curb. As he came up to the machine, a masked man stepped out on its running board and, threatening him with a revolver, ordered him into the car. He remembered that his attackers were of slight build and that one wore high-immed glasses. The man with the glasses took the wheel and the taller climbed into the tonneau beside Ream, while the car was driven around for about an hour without a word being spoken. Then the man beside him turned to him and said casually, "I am going to slam you over the head." Ream, at the time, believed he was struck with the butt of a gun, but today's disclosures revealed that it was a taped chisel—the same instrument used in the Franks murder. When he regained consciousness some hours later, he hailed a cab and was taken to the Chicago hospital. There a physician found a gland operation had been performed on him by someone apparently familiar with the use of surgical instruments. Every precaution against hemorrhage and infection had been taken and Ream quickly recovered. Today it became known that the glands taken from his body ASSAILS PLAN TO RESTRICT U.S. COURT BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 6.—Standing in the shadow of the newly unveiled monument to the great French revolutionist, LaFayette, President Coolidge assailed as dangerous and reactionary the proposal to subordinate the powers of the U.S. supreme court to those of congress. Such a proposition is incorporated in the platform of Robert M. LaFollette. The president went into considerable detail in his criticism of the LaFollette proposal to give the congress the power to set aside decisions of the supreme court, and he urged the people to "resist all such attempts." "The time to stop those who would loosen and weaken the fabric of our government is before they begin, Mr. Coolidge declared." "The time for Americans to range themselves firmly, squarely and uncompromisingly behind American ideals is now." "The question is whether America will allow itself to be degraded into a communistic and socialistic state or whether it will remain American. Those who want to continue to enjoy the high estate of American citizenship will resist all attempts to encroach upon their liberties by encroaching upon the powers of the courts." "The great body of our people have an abiding faith in their own country. The time has come when they should supplement that faith with action." The president divided his address between a defense of the supreme court, a tribute to LaFayette and a statement on the foreign policy of the Republican administration. Speaking of America's relations with Europe, Mr. Coolidge reaffirmed his determination to avoid all foreign "entangling alliances" altho at the same time extending helpful and economically sound assistance. "Our domestic affairs should be entirely free from foreign interference, whether such attempt be made by those who are without or within our territory," he said. "America is a tolerant country.

There a physician found a gland operation had been performed on him by someone apparently familiar with the use of surgical instruments. Every precaution against hemorrhage and infection had been taken and Ream quickly recovered. Today it became known that the glands taken from his body were thrown into a street on the south side. Coupled with the informatat's information that Loob and Leopold were the perpetrators of the gland outrage, came his equally positive announcement that they had nothing to do with the murder of Freeman L. Tracey, Univ. of Chicago student, killed and thrown from an auto. "Murder at that time did not enter into their plans," declared today's informant. "While they had in mind the commission of the perfect crime, the details had not been worked out. No other crimes than the Franks killing, the highway robbery, four cases of arson and the Ream attack can be attributed to them." YOUNG BREAKS WITH HER MANAGER LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6.—Following what her secretary described as a "business and social break" Clara Kimball Young, famous actress, has quarrelled with her manager, Harry Garson, and done into seclusion. It was used today. Miss Young will look after her own affairs in the future. She stated. Several years ago James Young, former husband of the actress, created a sensation in a New York hotel by threatening to "carve up" Garson with a knife.

"Our domestic affairs should be entirely free from foreign interference, whether such attempt be made by those who are without or within our territory," he said. "America is a tolerant country. It has room within its borders for many races and many creeds. But it has no room for those who would place the interests of some other nation above the interests of our own nation." The president pleaded for the elimination of distrust, suspicion and hatred—"always the obstacles encountered by Americans"—from international relationships. "We want Europe to compose its difficulties and liquidate its hatred." Mr. Coolidge reminded. "Would it not be well if we set the example and liquidated some of our own. The war is over. The militarism of central Europe which menaced the security of the world has been overthrown. Already we have assisted in refinancing Austria. We are about to assist in refinancing Germany. We believe that such action would be helpful to France, but we can give further and perhaps even more valuable assistance both to ourselves and to Europe by bringing to an end our own hatreds. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—President Coolidge returned from Baltimore shortly before 2 p.m. after delivering an address at the unveiling of a statue to General Lafayette. He found former Gov. Frank O.

Davis, the Democratic nominee. President Coolidge was likened to a "mummy" and to a "cigar store Indian" in speeches by Sen Key Pittman of Nevada, and former Sen Gilbert Hitchcock of Neb. A few minutes later Davis himself spoke, but continued his remarks to a demand for a "new standard of public morality and public honesty" in the national administration. CONDUCT COURT AT HOSPITAL Because Wm. Freeman, facing a grand larceny charge growing out of his being shot early yesterday when he and a companion were caught in an orange grove in a purported theft plot, is so seriously wounded he cannot come to court, Justice Jack Landell likely will go to the county hospital Monday and conduct the arraignment there, he declared today. Meantime officers say they have no trace of the fugitive companion, who disappeared when Freeman fell under fire. Austin Watt and G. M. Bickford special deputies who were watching the grove and who shot Freeman when he failed to halt at their command, were credited with his capture and if a $300 reward is paid, they are entitled to the money Sheriff Sam Jernigan said. JOINT RESOLUTION ANNEXATION PLAN KNOTTY PROBLEM Any more plans for annexation of territory between Anaheim and Fullerton will furnish some complicated knots for the two cities to untie, it was shown yesterday, when investigation of sentiment showed that residents in the district were divided into three classes: Those who oppose being annexed to either city, those who favor Anaheim and those who prefer Fullerton. Many residents, even in the section north of Orangehorpe ave don't want to join with either city, and no amount of argument regarding increased property valuations incident to subdivision has yet had much effect upon them. The proposed Fullerton annexation tract would carry the boundary between the two cities all the way to the Anaheim city limits. From Highland-ave west to the new Anaheim limits, therefore, the plan to make Orangehorpe ave the general dividing line thrueout, or Anaheim's north and Fullerton's south line appears difficult. NAVAL SECRETARY VISITS BROTHER SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.—Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur spent another busy day today in connection with his first official visit to San Francisco.

They were greeted by a salute of 21 gun, the national salute tendered only to presidents of the United States, from anti-aircraft guns on the shore and by the cheers of the thousands assembled for the event which swelled into one mighty roar of welcome from all America. Lieut. F. L. Rass, in a radio plane, accompanied the world flyers on the last leg of their flight and broadcast their progress as the villages and towns along their route passed beneath them in panorama, until they were first sighted at 2 o'clock. While whistles and sirens blew until they almost rocked the aircraft, the three planes, Lieut. Smith flew low over the barge, gay with flags and crowded with official guests and newspaper men and landed in the harbor. Lieut. Smith was the first to land, his pontoons striking the water in a perfect landing at 2:08 not more than fifty yards from the barge. One minute later Lieut. Wade dropped into the water a few yards farther out and at 2:11 Lieut. Nelson dipped his pontoons into the bay. Immediately General Patrick put out in a small navy launch and went to Lieut. Smith's machine. As he pulled away from the barge, the anti-aircraft guns thundered their salute, the whistles and sirens increasing in volume, and a fireboat near the planes turned loose all its jets, throwing a screen of water that seemed nearly as high as the spire of the customs house in the background. As General Patrick reached Lieut. Smith's plane he shook hands with the daring leader of the flight, who had crawled down onto the pontoons as the general's boat approached. General Patrick's launch then proceeded to the other planes. General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, received a message from Lieut. Smith at 8:45 saying that one of the machines had had some minor trouble but they expected to hop off in 15 minutes. General Patrick and eleven other pilots of the welcoming squadron.

General Patrick's launch then proceeded to the other planes. General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, received a message from Lieut. Smith at 8:45 saying that one of the machines had had some minor trouble but they expected to hop off in 15 minutes. General Patrick and eleven other pilots of the welcoming squadron immediately began tuning up their machines. They will hop off to meet the world flyers in the sky somewhere along the route when they receive word that the flyers have left Casco Day.
