TICKING INT
v Agreement of British, Ger-

gians Necessary Before
Negotiations Can Proceed
PRIVATE MEETINGS FAIL
TO BRING AGREEMENT
Belgians Do Not Support
French In Demands;
Germans Stubborn
LONDON. Aug. 12. (By The
Associated Press.) The decision
of the British, German, French
and Belgian delegates on the Ruhr
evacuation problem will probably
be communicated to the repar
ation conference tomorrow, Pre
mier Merriot of France told the
big 14" this afternoon. -
This question had brought ne
gotiations to a standstill and until
the problem is solved by the three
directly interested powers and the
British there can be no change to
wards closing up the program for
the inauguration of . the . Dawes
plan.., . - i i -
Nations Confer Privately
Private meetings are going on
constantly between the Germans,
Belgians, French and British
prime ministers and there are ru
Jnors of many trades behind the
scenes In an effort to satisfy the
French demands advanced as the
price . of moving the military
forces out of the Rtihr. 1 ;
The Belgians" are not support-
Jng the French In their, efforts to
prolong the occupation of the
Itubx. Premier Theunis frankly
says he does not want to continue
tinldinar Belgian troODS in the
Ruhr as. the Belgian people are
tired of the expense. The Ger
man lnda8trfallsts, especially the
dye manufacturers are bitterly op
posing the French demands for de
liveries of dyes beyond 1930, and
there are .many other questions in
connection with the proposed de
liveries of goods under the report
f tfae third committee which the
big four discussed vainly this af
ternoon. -: "' , '
Commercial Treaty Questioned
The French are endeavoring to
get assurances 'as to the terms of
the new commercial treaty tojbe
negotiated with Germany at 'an
early date and there Is a battle
royal between the delegates and
the experts of the two countries.
Predictions that the conference
will; be concluded Thursday have
given way to forecasts that Friday
Is the earliest x possible time of
settlement and many delegates be
lieve a settlement 4 cannot cqme
this week. There is a general
feeling, however, that the points of
difference between the French and
the Germans have been brought
within negotiable limits. Both
countries want a settlement so
fcadly that no delegates believe the
conference will break' up without
action. ,, . , ,
The Atneriean ambassador,
Frank B. Kellogg, announced at a
meeting ; of , the allied delegates
this afternoon that-the American
government desired to be repre
sented at the meeting, of finance
ministers to be held shortly in
Paris to discuss allocation or mon
eys received from Germany. Am
erica's claim for maintainance of
the American forces In the Rhine
land and I her mixed claims, ln

chargeable against these monies.

12. The charred bodies of from
12 to 20 Itinerant laborers are
buried beneath the smouldering
pile of 750! tons of hay destroyed
by fire early today when flames of
undetermined origin razed a large
barn, the property of the River
Farms company. . '.: '.
The body of an unknown ; man
has been recovered from the ruins.
No search is possible 'until the
flames are extinguished sufficient
ly to allow rescue workers to dig
away 'the piles of hay. The fire
was, discovered by Frank :Prather,
watchman j for the River Farms
company, who occupies a Cabin
across Sycamore slough in the im
mediate vicinity of the ill-fated
barn. He told Sheriff Monroe be
was awakened at about 3 o'clock
this morning by the crackling-of
flames which illuminated the sky
and the screams and groans of the
men who "were housed under the
roof. - - '. i ; -
Sixty laborers sleeping In the
building were in the employ ; of
the. River Farms company, which
owns 35,000 acres of farm land
under intensive cultivation. No re
cord of the: men was kept by the
company. They were divided into
groups under various section lead
ers and paid in cash at the end pf
each day's labor. Because of this
system it is believed impossible
to identify any of the victims, .
Following a visit to the 'scene
of the tragedy by Coroner Ross C
Wilson, he stated no attempt will
be made to find bodies of those
cremated in the flames until to
morrow because of the intense
heat coming from the smoulder

several men entered the building
last night in an intoxicated con

end of the building where the fire
is believed to have started.

BAD FIRE HITS .
TOWN OF ICOY
Wheat Valued at $60,000
Destroyed in Warehouse
-fNo Water Available
Grain valued at approximately
$60,000 was destroyed by fire
shortly before noon Tuesday when
the B. B. Barner warehouse at
McCoy was consumed by fire. Two
bouses and a dance hall were de
stroyed before the blaze was
brought under control.
The fire started in the" engine
room 'of the grain warehouse. Mr.
Barner, who is the principal loser
was burned about the face in his
efforts to save books and records
from the office. .
Shortage of water prevented the
McMinnville fire department from
effectively battling the fire, which
spread rapidly. A call for help
was received by the Salem depart
ment,! but when It was learned
that there was no available water,
the department did not respond as
it could be of no assistance.
Nearly 400 feet of Southern Pa
cific side track was burned but no
damages sustained by the main
line, i One of (be dwellings de
stroyed was owned by George
Paulson. The other was unoccu
pied and was - an old structure.
Southern Pacific . workmen were
rushed from Dallas with a tank
car and were able to save the rail
road I station across the street
from! the warehouse.
Practically every farmer in the
McCoy district will be hit by the
destruction of the grain, it is said.
About 27000 bushels of wheat
was loose in the bins and about
the same quantity stacked f in
sacks on the floor. Mr. Barner
said he was carrying about $5,000
insurance on his grain and had
written some insurance for farm
ers who had grain stored there.

Defense Plea for Mitigation
in the Sentences of Leo

to a Close
STATE BEGINS STRONG
REBUTTAL FOR DEATH
Attorney Crowe to Call
Alienists to prove Men
tal Responsibility c
CHICAGO.. Aug. 12. (By the
AP,) The last evidence on which
is based the plea to save Richard
A. Loeb and Nattan P. Leopold,
Jr.. from the gallows was present
ed late today and immediately the
state launched Us rebuttal, to
clinch -Its contention for the death
penalty instead of a prison term
for the kidnapers and slayers of
young Robert Franks.
. i To veer Judge John R.! Caverly
toward "mitigation" or 'justice
tempered by mercy" Vas left only
the final pleas of -Clarence S. Dar
row, -veteran chief-of counsel for
the defense, and -Benjamin and
Walter Bacbrac, against a line of
state witnesses which includes five
alienists, the first of whom Just
had testified Loeii.was sane,. when
court was adjourned late today.
Brothers Testify
One of the most dramatic peri
ods of the 19 days of the .hearing
was brought' about by the appear
ance in the witness box in rapid
succession of Allen Loeb, brother
of Richard; Jacob ! Loeb, former
president of the Chicago board of
education, end i an uncle of the
youthful defendant, and Forpman
Leopold, Nathan's older brother
. Through them, and Mrp. Kath
ertneM. FitsgeraW,' secretary to
A. BT.'Loeb, vice president ot Ss-arsi
Roebuck & Co., and Richard'l
fathepthe defnse sought to short
that Vne youths .were plentifully
supplied with money and the lux
uries of life and that the $10,0 08
ransom demanded for the return
of Bobbie Franks even after he
had been slain was hut an Item
of Lpeb's "perfect crime," as fan
cied in childish dreams, and not
a compelling motive for the kid
naping and murder.
Crowe .Attacks Evidence
That testimony came as an In
terlude in the vigorous three-day
cross examination! of Dr. H. S.
Hulbert, Chicago psychiatrist, the
last of the four alienists for the
defense.
The theory of functional dis
orders of. the endocrine glands ad
vanced by Dr. Hulbert as respon
sible for the "mental illness" of
Leopold and Loeb, was the subject
of the most vicious lattack by
Robert E. -Crowe, state's attorney.
The prosecutor also pounded at
the idea of the emotional age of
the "defandants, termed by de
fense alienists as below 12 TP8N.
obtaining from Dr. Hulbert the
admission that Loeb had seemed
to wipe away a tear while relating
the story of the crimej and that
ne naa not wanted to !-: see Mrs.
Jacob Franks, mother of-the boy
he had slain. "t because It wouM
make him sad.
Leopold Has Emotion
Yesterday Dr. Hulbert admitted
that : Leopold had more emotion
than he claimed to have.
Mr, Crowe began his rebuttal by
offering several witnesses who tes
tified that Loeb had displayed
emotion . before heconfessed upon
learning of various findings that
served to pin the crime upon him
and Leopold. j .
In an effort to overcome Dr.
Hulbert's theory of endocrineology
tne state will call Dr. R. Wood
yatt of Chicago, nationally known
expert on blood diseases and
glands. From Dr. Hulbert, how
ever, the state's attorney got the
admission that endocrineology is
not generally subscribed to in the
