Some delays are necessary because of shortage of equipment and labor. Checks are frequently made on how rapidly complaints of Times readers are being met. Second investigaUon of the complaint for road oil on Twenty-Sixth St. between Dearborn and Olney Sts. revealed that the curbs and walks on that street haVfe been put In and the street will be oiled as soon as possible.

CHEF GIVES WHIG ON RAILJPEED Rikhoff Declares Trains Must Not Be Driven Inside City at Rate Exceeding Municipal Code Provisions— Twenty Miles Maximum, STATE SEEKS SAFETY AT GRADE CROSSINGS Public Service Commission Starts Movement for Conference With Traffic Executives Upon Suggestion of Governorr Railroads will be warned to stop speeding of trains Inside city limits Police Chief Herman F. Rikhoff an nounced today. At the same time the public serv ice commission announced that by direction of Governor Emmett F. Branch it has started a movement to lessen grade crossing accidents in the State. Commissioner Frank Singleton was placed In charge. He said he will send Invitations to a confer ence in the fall to railroad, Interur ban, bus and motor club executives and others Interested. Means of lessening the crossing danger will be discussed and the best suggestions carried out. Governor Branch’s action is the result of numerous requests for aid in solving the problem. The chief factor was a letter from the American Association of Railroad Superintendents favoring State laws requiring drivers of pleasure and business cars to come to a full stop within 100 feet of any grade crossing. Code Is Violated Reports of emergency sergeants upon recent accidents In which pedestrians and au omoblles were struck at crossings show violations of sections 975 to 980 of municipal code. Rikhoff said. Engineers apparently were unaware that they were violating the speed law. Rikhoff said, because they have admitted they were running their trains ! far faster than city law permits. Maximum speed permitted Inside ; city limits is twenty miles an hour, i In many accidents engineers have said they were going as fast as thirty-five miles and forty miles an hour, police reports show. The chief said he would write letters to rail officials reminding them of the train speed regulations and warning that if there are further violations police will be Instructed to arrest trainmen. (Tty In Three Districts The train speed ordinance divides the city into districts as follows: No. 1, territory bounded by Georgia, Delaware and Maryland Sts. and Senate Ave., In which train speed limit is ten miles an hour. No. 2, territory bounded by Twen- ( ty-First St., State Ave., Morris and Prospect Sts. and Belmont Ave., in which the limit is fifteen miles an hour. , No 3, all other territory inside city limits in which speed limit is twenty miles an hour. Trains running on elevated or subway tracks are exeepted from the ordinance. Penalty is not more than S2OO fine, to which may be added not more than ten days’ imprlsot^ment.

Intellectual Crowd Visits Chicago Murder Trial

BY C. A. RANDAU Times Staff Correspondent HICAGO. Aug. 6.—“1’1l let you walk up to the door and get a peek at the boys, I>ut don’t let the judge see you. And don’t stay there more than a minute.” With that the friendly doorkeeper outside the Loeb-Leopold “show” allowed a couple of persistent Chicago matrons to pass on down the corridor. “I don’t like to turn ’em down, but the judge has given strict orders. Can’t let ’em go in after all the- seats are taken. There are at least ten people after every seat,’ the doorkeeper added. Sensational murder trials are no new thing in the life of the Cook County Criminal Court House. -Many a woman who has killed her husband or her lover has drawn down capacity crowds as she stood trial In this massive structure. But In the memory of the "oldest inhabitant’’ no trial has attracted a more variegated throng than this

attempt of the youths, Loeb and Leopold, to escape the noose, r "In most of those spicy trials where women were involved, most of the visitors are women. In this trial at least half those who try to get In are men. All in all this trial Is attracting the most intellectual crowd I’ve ever seen around the courthouse,” continued Friend Doorkeeper. By "Intellectual,” he meant the best dressed, most prosperous looking crowd. The trial is proceeding on the sixth floor of the courthouse. In the rather dingy court room in the southwest- corner of the building, Judge John R. Caverly. chief justice of the county court, regularly hears his cases. The room will hold barely 200 people. Usually there are few present exeept those interested in the particular trial being held. But everyone in Chicago seems to be vitally concerned In the out come of the Loeb-Leopold trial. So hurdles had to be set up. The first hurdle is downstairs on

Dog Bites Man Who Flees After Midnight Attempt at Kidnaping

HI ip Mg’ . Ik 4 -v.- • I

“ LTHOUGH five auto of policemen “came, saw w__J' and went away.” no trace was found of a man thwarted in an apparent attempt to kidnap Theodore Judkins, Jr., 2, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Judkins, 3515 E. Walnut St., a few minutes after midnight today.

Judkins and his wife were sitting on the front porch when his niece. Miss Jennie Belle Lowe, 16, who had been sleeping upstairs with the baby, ran out with the announcement: “They’ve got the baby.” Six Feet Tall Judkins ran to the rear of the house and gave chase to a man he described .as six feet tail, dressed in brown pants, dark blue workshirt and dark cap. The fleeing man threw a stick of wood which struck Judkins in the chest. The chase was continued to the railUaoks, where the stranger hit the father with a chunk of coal, who in turn missed with a rock. The man then escaped. Returning to the house, Judkins found his son lying on the back porch. The niece said she was awakened by a man in the room, but thought it was her brother-in-law. ”1 felt his coat touch me. and then felt the bed springs give when the baby wajs taken up.” she said. “Then I heard the back door slam and knew something was wrong. So I ran down to the front porch and called the folks.” _ The family is at a loss to aa"cribe a motive for the seeming attempt to steal the baby. Motive Is Unknown “We have had no trouble with any one. and I don’t know what a man would be wanting with a baby these times, with the price of living so high,” said Mrs. JudJjrina. 19, the mother. "The only thing I tan think of is maybe it was my father, James Lowe, who disappeared eleven years ago. He threatened once to steal my son, if I ever had one.” Mrs Carrie Jdhnson, 3517 E. Walnut Rt., living in the other half of the double house, said her dog, Blackie, bit the man as he fled, and she heard him yelt. “Someone came about an hour later and tore the mosquito netting off our front window,” said Mrs. Johnson. “I don’t know what that fellow could mean, unless it was some crazy person prowling around.” Mrs. Judkins said she had heard someone prowling around the house earlier in the evening.

Judge Caverly has ordered the elevators to run only to the fifth floor. There, in the hall, all visitors are given a second examination.

DERR < / United Pregg Btafi f omspondent CRIMINAL COURTROOM, CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—Richard Loeb struck the fatal blow that caused the death of Robert Franks, it was revealed for the first time today at the judicial hearing of Nathan F.

Up to this time each of the boys has blamed the other for actual attack upon Robert with a chisel. Heretofore doctors had said they believed Loeb had dealt the blows.

Dr. Gleuck, up his story of Loeb where he left off Tuesday, was stopped by Benjamin Bachrach, a defense attorny, with the question: “Did you talk’ with v Loeb about, who struck the blow?” “l’es. Loeb told me he struck the blow himself." This was the only reference made to the incident by Dr. Gleuck, but Dr. James Whitney Hall, chief defense allergist, leaned over to the United Press and said: "This is the first time the actual attacker of Robert has been revealed, Loeb cried out to us, T killed him, I killed him.’ He not only one time, but several times." . Dr. Gleuck then went on to describe LoVb’s lack of emotion in telling his own story of the crime. "Dickie told me all the grewsome details of the Franks murder," the doctor said. Matter of Fact "He told it all, to me as a very matter of fact Incident, explaining how he and Leopold stopped off In their automobile for a lignt lunch while Robert’s body was lying in the car. “I war particularly interested in the great desparity between his telling of the crime and his utter lack of normal human feeling. I have examined more than 2,000 criminals, and I have never seen such a remarkable situation except In those cases where the criminal had a disordered mind.” “I have been watohing Dickie in court for a number of days, and I could not help but notitce how he sat and listened to arguments intended for the purpose of hanging him without showing the least emotion.
