Ho also waved to groups at Lexington ami Thomaaville, N. C. In Ills speech at the seven state "green pastures" rally ut Charlotte late yesterday, the president posed several questions which his reelection inuuagers have said would figure prominently in the presidential campaign. He spoke of huving turned that "uow historic corner," the depression: Of a "definite upturn" In business; of "better conditions" on the farm and In factories and homes; of "b&ck In the black" and of record-breaking low Interest rates on borrowings. All of this, he asserted with rain drops still dripping from his brow, had been attained without endangering "individual liberties" or invading the "Inherent rights of the sovereign states." Ife did not refer to the supreme court by name, but be drew applause as ho spoke highly of the NKA and AAA, and added: "It was obvious of course, because of the economic unity of that no group of Individuals and no individual states could by themselves, take the action necessary to restore the purchasing power of the nation." "Only the federal government could accomplish that," he emphasized. When the president reached the WPA constructed municipal stadium amid a deafening roar from the rainsoaked thousands, his light gray suit was dark and wrinkled and clinging to the flesh. No sooner had he reached the speaker's platform than the sun came out and a rainbow pierced a crescent through the fading cloudB. Opening his 2,500 word address extemporaneoualy, he noted with a broad smile that a "rainbow shines In the sky' and termed the heavenly phenomenon a "fitting climax to two of the most delightful days { have ever spent in rav life," Governor J. U. B. Ehrlnghaus, of North Carolina, proBontod him as the Gideon of Democracy" and "our captain-courageous." Others on the platform Included Governors Dave Scholtz of Florida; Olin I). Johnston of South Carolina and Hill McAllster of Tennessee, and all the senators from^ those states and North Carolina except Ellison I). Smith of South Carolina. Hulldlng Ms speech around tfca Biblical "green pastures" and "still waters in the 23rd Psalm, the presldent nsserted "happiness Is most often described In terms of the simple ways of nature rather than In the complex ways of man's fabrications." ^ "I speak to you today," he said as common sense American men and women.

He expressed the hope that if his-, tory gives a name to the present age 11*, would call it the "era of rebuilding for it is my firm conviction that unless we, in our generation .start to rebuild the Americans of a century hence will have lost the greater part of their natural and national heritage." fie said the New Deal had achieved the goal ho set for the Southern farmer at the outset of his administration?12 cent cotton. He added "most thinking people" believe the NRA has done as much to restore "prosperity" as any other fedLcral law in 100 years. Saying he was convinced before he entered the White House that a "reasonable prosperity" would have to be brought about before proceeding to whnt he described as "next" steps?soil erosion and flood control?he continued: "Today, because of better prices for farm commodities we are actually and actively engaged in taking these second steps. "Not only have we aroused a public understanding and approval of the need of ending soil erosion and water run-off, but we have enabled the public through a practical prosperity to begin to pay their debts, to paint their houses, to buy farm tools and automobiles, to send more boys and girls through school and college, to put some money in the bank and, incidentally, to know for the first time that the money in the bank is safe." At Salisbury, N. C., last night a group carrying a large sign reading "100 Percent, for Roosevelt and the New Deal" forged to the front of several thousand persons around the presidential special. Representative Doughton (D? N. C.) chairmnn of the house ways and means committee introduced the executive as "our great Democratic president.** Mr. Roosevelt praised Doughton as a man of ''keen perception" who had been of "tremendous value" to him in working out problems with congress. Further along the line, at High Point, the president drew a laugh from the crowd when he recalled having hunted quail there, but said "most of the quail are still flying around the country.".

Chicago inlllionulrea anil brilliant member* of a student body noteworthy for It* intellectual attainment. At 18, Leopold had ulready won the pralae of scientists for hi* ornithological studies. The motive for the ghastly murder amazed and sickened even veteran policemen to whom killings were routine experiences. The slayers of Bobby Franks had taken a life not only to assert their places as "supermen," men who could outwit the authorities, but also as an experiment to determine how far they could preserve their own detached, scientific attitude iu the ultimate tragedy in human life?the willful destruction of another human being. It was a crime that was carried out almost in the manner of an experiment in a psychological laboratory. Hut the crime was not "perfect." its tlaws were soou discovered. A pair of horn-ribbed glasses trapped the slayers. It was May 21, 1924. Out of the Harvard school came Bobby Franks to join a group of classmates in a baseball game on the school playground. Ijoss than an hour later the game broke up and Bobby started happily toward his parents' home a few blocks distant in Chicago's finest Houth-slde residential community. In the Franks' luxurious residence sometime later, Jacob Fr&nkB, wealthy retired manufacturer and capitalist, and Mrs. Franks became worried. The dinner hour had passed and Bobby had not appeared. Thoroughly alarmed, Franks left hiB home at 10 p. in. to seek police aid. And while her husband was absent Mrs. Franks received a message by telephone. "This is George Johnson," a gruff voice Informed the frantic mother. "Your son has beeu kidnaped, but he is safe. Instructions will follow." v The Franks family, despite the dire news, asked that the kidnaping be kept secret. No report was placed for some time on police records. Within 12 hours, however, the need for secrecy had passed. At approximately 8 a. m. the following morning a laborer came upon the body of a nude boy, lying face downward in a railway culvert in a forest preserve near Hegewlsch, on the far south side of the city. The body waB that of Hobby Franks. A coroner's physician said the boy had been murdered under circumstances of peculiar brutality. His head was savagely beaten. Other evidence seemed to indicate that the crime had been committed by a slayer of meagre, if not deranged mentality. Police were convinced they must seek a slayer of the lowest class with instincts of depravity. The city,'B shrewdest detectives began an investigation. Automobile tracks were spotted on the narrow trail leading through, the forest preserve to the railway culvert. There I were footprints in the marshy surface J A pair of shell-rimmed glasses was found ten foet from the spot where 1 the boy's body had been found. j Apparently the slayers had not! counted upon discovery of their victim's body so soon. Before word of their son's death had reached the pa-1 rents, the postman brought a letter, I addressed to Mr. Franks. Its language caused police at once to reverse their opinion as to the type of killer they 1 must seek. The letter told them plain-1 ly they must search, not for a crlmi-1 nal of debased mentality, but for a person of some education. I "Dear Sir," it otated, "allow us to assure that he is at present safe and I well, you need fear no physical harm I for him, provided you live up care-j fully to the following Instructions and I such others as you will receive by I future communication." The writer demanded $10,000 ran-J som in "ojd bills" for the safe return of a boy, already dead. The money I was to be ready at 1 o'clock and the worried father, believing his son still lived, withdrew the cash from a bank. At 3:26 Mr. Franks received a sec-| ond 'telephone call from "GeorgeI John son."""He was directed to take! a cab that would call for him at his I home and convey him to a drug store 1 where further instructions would bel given. He was to bring the ransom. I Word of his son's death reached j Mr. Franks, however, before the cab I arrived. He went to see the body I which had been removed to an under-1 taking chapel. Police had placed the! horn rimmed glasses on the boy in the belief they belonged to the victim. As he gased sadly at the body of his only son, the father provided authorities with the due that was prore the undoing of the slayers. ? "icy m," he nil,' "did not wear ? * i ?. 1 , ? % ; < ' i j. . glUHHOH." Police began the painstaking tank of tracing the glaavea. It waa soon established that only one firm made glasses with the diamond trademark which the pair In question tore. Eventually they were traced to the oculist, who eold them, a Chicago Arm. The records of this firm showed the glasses had been prescribed for Nathan Leopold, son of one of Chicago's pioneer families, a precocious ornlthologlHt. In that capacity he bad been acclaimed by scientists for engaging the confidence of the little Klrkland Warbler, a bird so shy as to have been supposed extinct,' so successfully. that It perched on his shoulder and ate from his hand when u thousand feet of moving picture film were unrolled In the Michigan wilderness. On May 30, nine days after the kidnaping and murdei*. police seized Leopold. He readily admitted ownership of the glasses, said he must have lost them while studying birds in the vicinity of the culvert. Authorities were puzzled. They sent for Richard Loeb, youngest student ever graduated from the University of Michigan, a youth whose scholastic brilliance matched that of Leopold. Both were graduate students at the University of Chicago when the crime was committed. Leopold and Loeb asserted they had gone riding in Leopold's car on the afternoon of the murder. Questionloned about a portable typewriter he had used in his studies, Leopold said he had disposed of it. Police who searched the Leopold home were unable to find the machine but returned with the Leopold family chauffeur, Sven Englund. Meanwhile a watchman brought to the police a bloodstained chisel which he said he had picked up near the Leopold home*. The watchman said he had seen the chisel thrown from the same type of car Leopold drove. Lnglund said the car had not been out of the garage that day. Students brought In typewritten notes by Leppold the typing of which corresponded with the typing of the ransom letter. Confronted with theBe discrepancies Loeb broke down the next day and confessed. Some hours later Leopold also confessed. The two youths attempted to throw the guilt for the actual murder on each other. They admitted that they had Induced Bobby Franks to enter their car, a rented one, and "ride home" with them as he left the school grounds; that almost as soon as he was in the car they had murdered him with blows from the chisel found by the watchman. Whether it was Leopold or Loeb who struck the fatal blow never has been definitely told. Prosecutors said the youths confessed they killed the boy for a "thrill." It was planned, they said, as an experiment to test their own reactions in the perpetration of a murder. On June 11, 1924, Loeb's 19th birthday, they were arraigned before Judge John R. Caverly and pleaded not guilty. But on July 21, the noted attomey, Clarence Darrow, had the youths change their plea to guilty. The trial began July 23. A battery of alienists testified for the defense. Dr. H. S. Hulbert declared the young men wore victims of a lack of normality In their lives. He blamed the crime on early childhood complexes established in each case by experiences with nursemaids. Darrow asserted that while Loeb and Leopold might have known intellectually the difference between right and wrong they could not, emotionally, make the distinction. After pondering over the evidence for 13 days and nights, Judge Caverly passed sentence. Each got a 99 year term for kidnaping and a life term for murder. On September 11, 1924, the two youths were taken to the Illinois state penitentiary. Then, on January 28, 1936, twelve years after the most sensational slaylng of its period, a sequel occurred inside the walls of Stateville prison, on the outskirts of Joliet, 111. Richard Loeb, then 80, died as violently as had Bobby Franks. Locked in a prison shower room with a fellow convict, James Day, 22 year old Chicago larcenist, Loeb was slashed to death with a razor wielded by Day who asserted Loeb had sought to compel him to submit to an immoral proposal. The "thrill" slayer died on an operating table two hours later aa a corps of physicians attempted to patch up fifty-seven wounds^ Tried for the staying.

S" Telephone 62 'p - LARRY THK LAMPLIGHTER MY8TERY TO SCIENTISTS New York.?Larry the Lamplighter, a six foot electric eel from Braall, Hulked In hia tank at the" aquarium the other night, refusing to turn on the lights.. He had been overlooked completely when a group of foreign delegates to tUp world conference to be held in Washifigton next month made a tour of lnspectlbi^ city's great power plants. Larry thinks he is something pretty hot in the power plant line himself, and his opinion is shared by physicists and biologists who have marveled at his, death-dealing thunderbolts. "He is not only a thousand times more efficient than any power plant /ever produced by man," said C. W. Coates, the curator, "but he is a very mysterious beast as well. He Just doesn't make sense." Scientists have tried for years to discover the secret of the electric eel's generating system, Coates said, but thus far have met with no success. Coates disclosed that he and Prof. Richard X. Cox, of New York University, were carrying on .extensive experiments with Larry in an effort to solve the riddle. They are using a borrowed cathode ray oscillograph to measure his electrical discharges and already have published a preliminary paper on the subject in Zoologies. Electric eels discharge powerful shocks with great rapidity, killing their prey. Coates has rigged up a system which causes two bulbs outside of Larry's tank to flash when he is "broadcasting." Once when he was hooked up with the oscillograph he let go with 20 distinct shocks within a space of onefortieth of a second, 'Coates said. Each discharge carried about 200 volts, enough to knock overra horse. Larry, a sluggish creature that looks like a monstrous earthworm, was brought to the aquarium from Para, Brazil, four years ago and has grown so tame he seldom turns on his current, except when prodded or fed. He never knows that the fish which Coates tosses to him two or three times a week are already dead and that he is wasting his electricity at meal time. Load Of Matches Causes Brisk Fire Laurens, Sept. 7.?Ignition of a motor truck load of matches precipitated a brisk battle between water and Are here lato Saturday night. By the us* of w^tffr and chemicals, the flre department won, though at an estimated loss of about $700 to the owner of the shipment, a local dealer. Fire broke out at the top of the cargo of 325 cases of matches as the upper container came in contact with the overhead trestle runners that span the underpass on East Main street. The driver of the truck was quoted as saying that he was driving i cautiously, but had felt he could pass! through safely. The crushed cases in-! atantly started ignition of the contents, causing the blast to spread to other containers before being brought under control. More than 100 case, each containing a gross of standardsize boxes of matches, were burned or water damaged. - When the crews of two naval ships, anchored in the Tagua river, at Lisbon, rebelled Monday, the Portuguese government qulokly swung heavy land atteriea on the ships and smashed t e rebellion. Both ships were damaged and six sailors were killed.
