Among your dresses you must, of course, include a
CHARMEEN school frock—young and slender—with a
tunic either straight or flaring. . . A BEGALINE street
dress that lives and breathes the spirit of college, its severe
tailoredness relieved perhaps by a tiny bow for a pocket. . .
A BLACK SATIN with its Cavalier color of lace for the
express purpose of making you lovely for your evening
engagement .. . Oh, there are many frocks and they are
all so lovely.

Federal officers admitted they still
were trailing the missing diamonds,
emeralds and rubles which they declare
completed the Mors collection, but con-
cerning which Albert A. Mors, divorced
husband of the dead woman, say he
knows nothing.
The defense is outlining a case that
will tend to show that the killing of
Mrs. Mors and the smuggling of the
jewels were part of the same story and
that in this story McCoy had no role.
The legal battle is to open Monday in
Judge Charles S. Craig’s court when
Robertson Declines to Talk.
DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 23.—Judge
Felix D. Robertson, at 10:30 o’clock
by them, but he had no comment to
offer. .
Before the declaration at Augusta of
Charles G. Dawes, Republican vice
presidential candidate on the klan was
published, Mr. Davis had laid aside the
cares of politics and sought relaxa-
tion after his strenuous day of yes-
terday in golf at the Creek Club, near
his home a Locust Valley, Long Island.
At his headquarters here, however, it
was indicated that he probably would
take no public notice 9f Mr. Dawes’
statement.
Some friends of the candidate em-
phasized his statement to the democ-
racy of New Jersey that, having made
his own position on the klan unmis-
takably clear, he hoped to be able now
to devote himself entirely to what he
regards as the real issues of the cam-
paign.
some of the doctors here have declared
it n sane act. 4
"And the state says tl ere boy’s are
sane because they planned this crime.
Why, maniacs plan, idiots plan, ani-
mals plan and a brain that functions
may plan. And we have plans from
the diseased minds of boys."
He pointed a gruesome picture of the
boys upon the scaffold bound, hooded
and "with some one waiting to loose
the spring." He philosonhisized ag.’n
and again upon the barbarity of capi-
tal punishment and pleaded with the
judge to decide the case by his own
conscious, wisdom and courage, despite
the pressure of newspapers and othar
directing forces of pziblic clamor.
Ho pictured,' too, the depth of in-
famy to whi :h the toys would descend
if forced to spend all of their remain-
ing years within prison valls, “check-

by hanging? Where is there a human
heart that would ask for more? Where

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 23.—The youth-
ful slayers of Robert Franks were ad-
mitted by every alienist who examined
them to be without emotional reaction,
a directing force in the mind of any
normal person, with the exception of
one physician, "who sells his services
for cash and peddles perjury," Clar-
ence S. Darrow, bulwark of counsel de-
fending Richard Loeb and Nathan F.
Leopold Jr., charged today in plead-
ing mercy for them before Judge John
R. Caverly.
"Everyono of the psychiatrists on
both sides of the case told the court
that emotion furnished the urge and
drive in life, that is, with one excep-
tion, Dr. William O. Krohn, who is not
an alienist but an orator,” Mr. Darrow
declared. “Dr. Krohn, testifying for
the state, said they did have it; that
his short opportunity for examining
them was 'fine' altough the others said
it was not.

The aged but vibrant leader of half
a thousand legal battles again held a
crowded court room tense under the
spell of his thoughts and words. He
talked straight through the half holi-
day session, scarcely pausing for

Mrs. Ferguson's early education was
from a governess employed by her
father, a prosperous farmer, and her
latereducation was obtained as a pupil
at the Baylor College for women at
Belton.
Both of her daughters, Mrs. Nalle
and Miss Dorrace Ferguson, were
educated in the same school.
Mrs. Ferguson met her husband
while he was a practicing attorney at
the Belton, Bell county bar, and they
were married Dec. 31, 1899.
Jim, at that time, was a great stu-
dent, and was said to be one of the
best Latin scholars in Texas, she said.
His political career was not start-
ed until fifteen years after 1 is mar-
riage, terminating in his election as
governor in 1914.
Airs. Ferguson is a member of the
Episcopal Church, while her husband's
father was a Methodist minister, for
many years serving in the pulpit of
the Shearn Church of Houston.
"They're saying I'm a Catholic.”
Mrs. Ferguson said, “and I wish you’d
make it plain that I’m not. I was
raised in the Episcopal Church, and I
love it.”
Ma’s politics, however, aren’t in the
church. She’s for the people of Texas.
"All I want,” she said, "is to be of
service to my state and my country—
and my term as governor is dedicated
to that end.”

NEW YORK, Aug, 23.—John W.
Davis, the Democratic presidential
Despite an intensive investigation by
local officers, up to 1 o’clock Sunday
morning absolutely no clue had been
uncovered relating o the assailant or
assailants of Alias Gussie Barker, 14-
year-old girl, who was possibly fatally
injured early Saturday morning, when
she was struck on the head by a blunt
instrument, as she lay sleeping in her
father's camp near the Austin dam.
Police admit they are baffled by the
mystery. A number of officers were
assigned to , the case.
Early Sunday morning. Miss Barker
lay in a critical condition in the City
Hospital, her condition but little im-
proved. The girl suf ered a double
compound fracture of the skull.
The attack on Miss Barker was the-
third mysterious attack committed
within the past month near Austin.
On two occasions, motorists were
knocked in the head, by unidentified
persons who the motorists had be-
friended by giving a""lift." In neither
