Had No Scruples in
Killing Young Franks
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—Dr. William
Healy, a Boston alienist for the de
fense in the Loeb murder trial, tes- J
tified: “Loeb told me that he could
contemplate committing a murder

necessary in selecting the sort of pie
j he desired for dinner.” The doctor
! testified that the wealthy criminal
was mentally defective when it came
to the matter of conscience.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—In the Loeb
Leopold case being tried here, this
afternoon Judge Caverly, on a mo
tion by the State to call a jury, ruled
that Leopold and Loeb, the youthful
murderers are “as sane and as guil
ty as they were yesterday, and on
the day of the murder. I do not care
what Drs. White and Haley, or any
of the experts may call insanity, this
term is clearly defined and settled by
the Supreme court of this State. The
motion is over-ruled and the trial
will take place,” declared the Judge.
The ruling created a sensation a
mong the audience and knocked one
of the strongest points from under
the defendants, who hoped to have
a verdict of temperamental insanity
returned by the judge.

Glueck, of New York testified at the
hearing this morning that Loeb had,
thruout the doctor’s mental examina
tion of Leopold, admitted that he

eran master of the Starr. Lack of
guides to transportation makes navi
gation both dangerous and uncertain.

many of them refusing to abide by
any action of the convention.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Chairman

thing to the claims that La Follette
will sweep the Northwest,” he said.
“I just returned from there this week
and I did not get any such impres
sion from my visit.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—

LOCATES BRIDGE SITES
During Col. Steese’s short stay
in Fairbanks, he secured the meas
urements of three sites for the erec
tion of a suspension bridge across the
NenAna river, both north and east of
McKinley Park.

saddle and pack horses to cross
as well as dog teams, and will
give access to one of the largest
game regions in Alaska.
The bridge will somewhat resem
ble the new bridge at Curry, but
will have improvements. Col. Steese
said, that would prevent the disa
greeable swaying while being cross
ed . The shortest site is 288 feet and
the longest 320 feet.

Saund Mail Service
to Remain Unchanged j
(Valdez Miner.)
A short time ago the Postoffice de
partment called for bids for a mail
service to points in Prince William
Sound and extending as far as Hin
chinbrook, Middleton Island and Cape
St. Elias, with Cordova as the start
ing point, and supplanting the pres
ent service out of Valdez. The pro
posed service, however, has been a
bandoned, according to a letter from
2nd Asst. P. M., Chase C. Grove,
which reads in part as follows:
“We have had careful inevstiga
tion made of the conditions affect
ing the service. It is found that the
route would be about 300 miles in
length and that the increased travel
would tend to impair the service had
by the present patrons. Some of the {
points proposed to be supplied also
are so exposed in open water that
the operators of boats would not un
dertake to provide a regular supply.
Furthermore, the proposals received
for service cn the proposed route |
are at such high rates as to be pro
hibitive.
It has been decided, therefore, to
continue the present service.
Many New Buildings
