NO. 132 Hardly A Doubt Now That LaFollette Head A Ticket Third Party Seems Assured as Efforts of Wisconsin Senator to Reform Republican Machine by Boring from Within Prove Utterly Futile By DAVID LA WRENCH (C*?yr1?M. I?2?. By T*? AtvaHM) Washington, June 2.?Robert M. LaFollette, senior Senator from Wisconsin, has decided definitely to make the race for the Presidency as an independent irrespective of whether William G. McAdoo is named on the Democratic ticket or Calvin Coolidge on the Republican ticket for he has given up hope of "boring from within" the two old line parties to secure the enactment of a Progressive program. Mr. LaFollette believes Con gress should not adjourn now but should stay in session all summer if necessary to accom plish agricultural relief and needed reforms and is urging' his followers in the Senate and1 House to block adjournment so far as.is possible and to make; their record clear on this points These are the 'opinions expressed i by Oswald Garrison Vlllard of New I York City, editor of "The Nation," the liberal weekly, after a conference ? with Senator LaFollette today. Mr. Villard goes back to New York to complete the organization of a com-| mittee to be afTlliated with the con ference for Progressive political ac-j tion which is to meet in Cleveland ?on July 4 for the purpose of nomin ating Senator LaFollette for the Presidency. "The friends of Mr. LaFollette,", said Mr. Villard, "are convinced that in taking the stand that he does he is far less actuated by any effect it may have upon his own personal for tunes than by his desire to give the voters of the United States an al ternative to voting for either of the old parties which we deem hopeless ly corrupt. We feel that the great need of the country today is a pro gressive political party with a. clear cut program of reform much along the linos of those urged by Wood row Wilson in his first campaign for the Presidency when he called for radical reform and declared that the President of the United States here tofore had to go hat in hand to Wall Street for orders. "I believe that Mr. LaFollette finds himself In the same position as Senator Norrls of Nebraska who, it will be remembered, did not wisu to run again for the Senatorshlp be cause after 25 years of experience in Washington he had come to the conclusion that it was hopeless to 'buck the system* as it functions in Washington. Mr. LaFollette has tried for more than 30 years to re form his party from within. He has never bolted the Republican party and did not leave it in 1912 when Roosevelt cut loose. It is therefore a tremendous wrench for him to do what he has said that he will do if the two national conventions do not afford him the ground for believing that they mean to purge themselves In dead earnest. Since there is no likelihood whatever of the conven tions doing this, I cannot escape the belief that he will announce his can didacy as soon as the conference for progressive political action has met. "I am frankly astounded at the offers of support Mr. LaFollette has had for an Independent movement not only from Important labor or ganizations but from men who were ardent followers of Theodore Roose velt in 1012! I do not think it will be hard to organize a non-partisan committee In New York composed of peope of varying political view* points who feel tljat they must have a ticket that they can vote for with out apologies. Of course people who feel this way are not thinking mere ly about 19 24. We want to sop a permanent organization come Into being which shall olovate the whole tone of our political life and give us a new-old leadership along the lines, of the Progresslveism of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson of 1912. It would be a great misfortune,! of course, If out of this movement there should he nothing definite left on which to hulld In the years to come. No one can deny that there! Is no essential difference whatsoever between the Republican and Demo cratic parties as they are constituted today. It Is just like the fight over, the Income taxes?a question wheth-, er they should be fixed at 30 or 32 or 40 per cent and not a difference1 of principle or policy. The same Is I true of the tarlfr situation today. As the South becomes a land of manu facturers, more and more Democrats are going over to the protective the ory so that the former distinction between the two parties along tariff lines Is rapidly being obliterated. What other Issues differentiate them? None." Mr. Villard was asked if he knew who would be considered for the' Vice Presidency on the LaFollette, Uck?* and he said probably an East-1 ?rn labor man, but the matter It be ing very seriously debated because of the possibility, remote though It may be, of the electoral contest go-' ing after March 4 next Into the Sen SPECIAL SESSION LOOKS PROBABLE Raleigh. June 3.?Governor Morrison late yesterday issued a statement saying that he will ask the Council of State for authority to call a special session of the Legislature to consider urgent legislation to be passed and submitted at the general election in November to the approval of the people. The Council of State meets this week. BEAUFORT IS MAKING BID FOB STATE POBT Washington. N. C., June 3.?The United States government has spent approximately $5,000,000 on a mam moth breakwater to protect the har bor of Beaufort, the southern termi nus of the (Norfolk-Beaufort inland waterway?one of the greatest wat er transportation projects to which the Federal authorities has committ ed itself in recent years. As the southern terminus of the Norfolk-Beaufort waterway, which passes along the eastern tier of (North Carolina counties, Beaufort and West Beaufort, where extensive developments for an all-the*year health resort are now going forward, are laying claims for the support of the state in developing port and ter minal projects along the line out lined in the recent report of the North Carolina Ship & Water Trans portation Commission. A land locked harbor almost directly on the coast, closer and more secure than any other terminal site offered. Beaufort believes that the inland wa terway is an important factor in con sidering feeders for a state port. Its harbor is capable of permitting the entire Atlantic fleet to ride at an chor and the expense of dredging for channels to piers would be negli gible. FISHING PARTY MADE BIG CATCH AT INLET What is believed to be a record catch of big drum was made last Saturday at Oregon Inlet by a fishing party composed of Sam B. Parker. Dr. H. D. Walker, M. Leigh Sheep, and A. C. Thurman of Raleigh, who returned from the Inlet Monday. Twenty big drum weighing from 25 to 49 pounds with the average size between 35 and 40 pounds, was the catcli brought In. Captain Joe Emery of the Oregon Inlet Life Saving Station, with his usual courtesy, seeing the predica ment the fishermen were In to get their fish across the beach to their boat, about a mllo distant, brought his horse and cart down to their as sistance and hauled the catch over to the inlet for them.

S< T)TT (Copy right. 1924, By Tht Advanc*) Chicago, Juno 3.?The psychia trists are in clover. Already they have begun coining new phrases and spinning tenuous theories to explain why two 19-year-old boys?pampered sons of millionaire fathers, savants in their 'teens, gifted In Intellect far beyond their fellows?should have brutally murdered the 13-year-old 8on of another millionaire. The trial of the slayers, when the $25,000,000 Joint fortune of the three fathers In volved has been brought Into full play, promises a battle of alienists surpassing even the famous Harry K. Thaw struggles for freedom. Was It mere lust for killing, bred in minds depraved through lack of moral restraint; was It sex perver sion, a study which long had en grossed the young savants; or was It an unbalanced mentality that de lights In the torture of humans, that led Nathan E. Leopold, Jr., and Richard E. Loeb to slay young Rob ort Franks. To build up a theory for the crime that will save the two boys from the gallows, the millions of Albert H. Loeb, vice president of Sears, Roebuck & Company, and those of Nathan E. Leopold, ship owner and manufacture, are being devoted. The millions of Jacob Franks, manufacturer, will go be hind the demand of the law in Illi nois for an eye for an eye?the gal lows for the confessed slayers of his son. ' Home or the mental specialists who tiave studied the case see In the bravado, the boastfulneBS of the slay ers. evidence of the lust for torture and killing for its own sake. They found In the crime of the brilliant young killers an exaggeration of the desire that gave Harry K. Thaw pleasure in the flagellation of girls and boys. The statement of the boys (bit they killed "for the fun of It" ?seeking a new thrill?bears out this theory. notn t>oys had delved deeply Into curious literature. Leopold In parti cular, had devoted much time to tho study of the perverse. He kneW of tho perverted monarchs of old, who delighted In the torture of human beings, gloating over their pain and ultimate death. He knew too of the present day perverts, many In num ber, who derive pleasure from per sonally Inflicted injury, Otfcer specialists Incline to the be lief that y0UP? Franks was kidnaped as the Intended victim of some other form of perversion, and that he was slain when he recognized his cap* tors. Others, studying tho Intellectual hlatory of the precocious pair, who were graduated from college with honors before they had reaehed the age at which most young men enter college; studying their tllppant atti tude toward morality, their disdain of religion, are building up a theory of a "crime of precocity." This Is distinct from th? ordinary crimes of degeneracy or perversion, for the lat ter are held by psychiatlsts to be a I rase of the emotions rather than of jthe intellect. "The aristocracy of moronity" fa the phrase used by one well known specialist in an effort to classify th?? slayers. H*- finds the case "a para dox of paradoxes," in Its fine show of mental contradictions on the part of the youths, who "showed fiendish ingenuity, hland and cocky assur ances, set under undoubted symp tom?* of sexual perversion, with a bright shell of sophistication In op position to the subtlety of tnelr minds." None of the alienist* pay much at tention to the statement of the hoys that the money they sought to extort from Robert Pranks' father was a compelling motive. Uoth lads had all the money they needed. The an swer, all arr-M, ||<>* somewhere In the realm of pathology. Young Locb has collapsed now, H' Is no longer a haughty young intel lectual.

He says he realizes that death at the end of a hangman's noose |r his portion, and he Is ready to face It. Indeed, to some observ ers, It seems that this boy, having tried all the sensations that life af fords looks forward to death as a great new adventure. His strongest emotion soems to be contempt for the "weakling" that Loeb, the broken confessor of thelf frightful crime, has turned out to be.
