I MANY, MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HEjLD And ABI the Delegates Are Working 'to Find Basis of Agreement.—Sec.

Formal and informal meetings of the delegates this morning produced no indi cation of away out of the deadlock. The principal meeting was at Downing J Street, where Premier Herriottt. of, France. Premier Theunis of lielgimu. Am erican Ambassador Kellogg, and Italian Finance Ministed d'Stefani held a two hour conversation with Prime Minister MacDonald. * The greatest significance is being at tached to the comings and goings of Sec retary of State Hughes, and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, of the I'nited States, who are having a most difficult time con vincing London that their mission here is unofficial. Such high hopes were mis t'd at the outset of the conference by the participants of the United States that observers still are optimistic that the two members of the American cabinet can yet find away despite the unofficial char acter of their good offices, to be of as sistance in solving the deadlock between the financiers and conference delegates. 12 PICNICKERS KILLED AM) 19 HURT BY TRAIN New York Centra] Passenger Strikes Truck Load of Young People in Ohio.

Miss Sattler was called by the State today in the hearing which is to de termine the penalty of Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb for the kidnapping and murder of fourteen-year-old Robert Franks. She also was questioned about the storing place of automobile roJOes in the Leopold home. A fuzzy, greenish and badly charred robe, said by the State to have been the remnants of the blood stained robe which the two boys attempted to destroy by soaking it in gasoline and burning on the lake front was offered in evidence. The witness said she had seen a similar robe in the Leopold home. She was cross examined briefly. Four University of Chicago students, classmates of Leopold in the law school, were called to tell what they knew of the typewriter. The best they could do was today the machines they saw at the Leopold home “were portables.” The portable Underwood offered in evidence by the State was the one grap pled from the bottom of Park lagoon bv the investigators after the confession of the two youths. As past of nl.an fn Qftyef. frljgffr crime, the State pointed out in the open ing statement yesterday, Loeb had jerked the letters from the machine with a set of fliers and strewn them in scattered sections of the lagoon.

He also told of having sold rope to the two young men. The rope, claimed by the State to have been that with which the young victim was tied, was intro duced in the evidence. Aaron Adler told of having sold a pint of “chemically pure” hydrochloric acid to Nathan Leopold. He had sold no acid of that strength for some three year, the witness said. It was the strongest grade obtainable, he added,. The State offered in the evidence the bottle in which the acid was sold. There was a noticeable speeding up of proceedings today. J State's Attorney Crowe with the consent, of the defense, asked leading questions of his witnesses. •Open court proceedings were delayed in starting by a session in chambers in which Mr. Crowe gave Judge Caverly some information which in his opening statement he had indicated was “not fit for public knowledge.” Defense attor neys were the only persons besides the judge who were given this material. _ Throughout the morning session in which more than fifteen witnesses were called by the State, the two young col lege students sat composedly behind their attorneys listening intently to the tes timony and occassionally whispering with their attorneys.
