MITIGATION OF

REFER PLEA
Darrow Seeks to Have Court
Consider the Mental Con
dition and Degree of Re
sponsibility 1
ATTACKS STATE FOR
ASKING DEATH PENALTY
Enthusiasm of Attorney
Crowe Said to Be Most
Remarkable in Case
CHICAGO. July 31 (By The
Associated Press.) Mitigation.
not of crime, but of punishment,
mercy of Judgment. .founded not
upon the cold letter of the law,
but upon considerations of human
ity these were the points empha
sized today by the defense in the
proceedings which are to deter
mine the penalty that Nathan Leo
pold, Jr., and Richard Loeb are
to pay for the kidnaping and mur
der of Robert Franks.
Clarence S. Darrow, 67-year-old
Veteran of court battles, fighting
for the principles he has advocated
In and out : of court for many1
years, put squarely before Judge
John R. Caverly the Issue whether
considerations of this character
are to be written in the Jurispru
dence of Illinois. 1
. Determined on Hanging
"The state's attorney's office
fceems to feel the universe will
crumble unless these boys hang,'
lie said. He argued In response
to a lengthy contention by Robert
E. Crowe, state's attorney, backed
by tbe legal lore of Thomas Mar
shall. Indictment expert. Through
a day and a half of court proced
are, the prosecutor had maintained
that evidence of alienists offered
! fcy tbe defense as to the degree of
' mental responsibility of the youth
ful murderers was Incompetent, Ir
relevant and immaterial a f ter f a
plea pf guilty had been entered.
"We seek not mitigation of the
crime, but only mitigation of the
punishment of a diseased condi
tion of the mind, constantly In
character, but not amounting to
legal Insanity," was tbe keynote of
the defense, i j ', .
Insane and Guilty Impossible
"A showing of mental disease
'constitutes a showing of Insanity
'the existence of which must be de-
: termined by a "jury, i It "can be
brought in here only in the de
fendants withdraw their pleas of
'guilty and rely upon insanity as a
defense to the crime itself," re
sponded the state.
Throughout the four-bour ses
sion of the court the question was
'debated by the attorneys. Occa
sionally three or four of them
would be on their feet talking it
tbe aame time, but for the most
-part Mr. Marshall held the floor
for the atate and Mr. Darrow and
Walter Bachrach for tbe defense.
Hundreds of citations from: de-
cions given In . this country and
England, aome of them a century
; old, were offered by Mr. Marsha'I
and Mr. Bachrach had not finished
hlr analysis and comparison of
these when court adjourned for
the day.
Jadge Not Affected '
Tomorrow will see a renewal of
the legal engagement, but It was
predicted Judge Caverly would
' rule after an, hour or two more of
'arguing.' j :
The court, who is holding in re-
serve a decision against the state
which he gave yesterday, i inter
rupted Mr. Marshall several times
to ask him to point out specif leal
-ly. how some of tbe decisions be
was reading affected the present
proceedings. i
At the very outset of the day's
proceedings Judge Caverly told the
v prosecution that among all the
cases cited yesterday he had
round none ' applicable to condi
tions which faced him. I .

$200,000,000 More for
Crops Is Best the Depart
! ment Can Predict 1
WASHINGTON, July 31. The
agricultural situation promises
farmers some increased economic
leverage tis ypar, the depart
ment of agriculture stated today
in announcing that the index of
purchasing power of farm prodr
ucts is slowly rising. ,
At the beginning of July j the
index of purchasing power of farm
products was 79 as compared with
the year 1913, representing 100.
That is ten per cent higher than
ever at that time in the last four
years. - .
In its monthly review the de
partment takes issue with those
who have estimated a $1,000,000,-
000 increase in the value of the
wheat crop over last year's crop.
fit is possible that American
wheat growers will get from $100,-
OOp.000 to $200,000,000 more for
their wheat this' year , than last,
assuming that they sell some
thing over 500,000,000 bushels.
the department states. "This is
considerably less than the ' $1,-
000,000,000 increase estimated In
some quarters, but bespeaks an
increased ability to pay off debts
and a general Improvement In fi
nancial conditions in the wheat
country. :- - 7
"On " tbe other band; the corn
situation is by no means good.
The main significance of the corn
situation lies In Its effect on live
stock production and prices dur
ing the coming year. Expensive
corn this fall will presumably pro
long the liquidation " of breeding
stocks now in progress. Unless
history la a faithless guide, bogs
and high grade cattle will be good
property before this time in 1925

dairy cows in tbe country' over

justment Within Maxi
mum of 50 Per Cent ,
WASHINGTON. July ;31. The
tariff commission transmitted to
President Coolidge today its find
ings in the investgation of the
sugar tariff instituted more than
a year and a half ago.
The sugar investigation was in
augurated in March. 1923, by di
rection of. President Harding tlhd
has throughout been a subject of
dissension within the commission.
; The inquiry was brought to the
fore two days ago by 'demand of
Senator La Follette, independent
candidate for president 'for infor
mation in the hands of: the com
mission. Senator La Follette-also
charged that ' representatives of
the "sugar interests" hadj beeiv
working to delay .completion of
the commission's work. )
It now remains for' the presi
dent to determine what action
shall be taken for under the law
he alone can make changes in the
duties within a maximum of 50
per cent up or down, and effec
tive 30 days after their 'proclama
tion. : ' i
The commission more than a
year ago in a statement; made aft
er; an investigation which wae sep
arate from the present one and
which received from charges' that
the tariff on sugar was responsible
for the then high price at which
sugar was quoted, made tbe more
or less definite assertion that the
price reflected partly the tariff
duty which therefore, to some de
gree was responsible tot the sugar
quotations. j
'After that inquiry the commis
sion was ordered by J President
Harding to determine whether the
prevailing import duties" were
proper. " i
lit was not long afteif Mr. Hard
ing's ofder to the commission
that the internal quarrel in the
commission developed openly.
There never has been; unanimity
on opinion among the six members
on any report to the' president,
however, and the sugar question
presented no precedent in that re
spect. , ., ,-

The deadlock in the inter-allied
conference waa caused yesterday
by the proposals M. Herriot. the
French" premier, ; submitted'. Wed
nesday to the allied plenipotenti
aries and Frank B. Kellog. the
Amercan embassador. , ;
The experts took the proposals
in hand yesterday morning and
remained with their task through
the afternoon and night with such
gratifying results that American
officals .who are close to the con
ference table believed that an in
vitation for German representa
tives to come to London will be
dspatcbed today; ' After discuss
ing with the conference delegates
the -methods which have been
agreed upon forjthe launching of
the Dawes pinn, the Germans, if
they give tht-fr f.cyuiescence, will
make final iuruncements with the
reparations commission for put
ting the new reparations project
into effect. The commission de
cided to sit officially in Loudon
for that purpose.;
.Objections Overcome
The French plan was not en
tirely acceptable in the form In
which it was laid on the table.
But the objections to the first
proposal were overcome sooner
than had been ( anticipated, and
alter two hours discussion the
experts announced that the ob
stacle of power a German default
might be declared under the
Dawes plan had been removed.
This question bad been blocking
ihe progress of the conference
for nearly a fortnight.
The experts then went to the
grips With the third point in the
French proposals,--relating to an
extension of the terms of the Ver
sailles treaty with regard to pay
ments in the kind, and, jyith minor
alterations, this proposal was accepted.-
Failure Is Predicted
- There had been plentiful pre
dictions that the proposals were
doomed before 1 they were sub
mitted. But hope rose when
agreement was reached on.jthe
means of the declaring of a de
fault. This decicion meant shift
ing the conference difficulties
from the question of possible
German delinquency to the pro
posals for modifying trio Dawes
plan.
The experts approached, this
point of the French proposals with
considerable misgivings, for, al
though two-thirds ;of the French
plan for a settlement of the con
troversy 'had spe'-dil) gained the
committee's approval, entire ef
