C., aug. 25.�?a fellow nebraskan will determine whether general John j. Pershing shall receive his full salary after he retires from the army. September 12, or lose one fourth of it. This nebraskan who will decide whether general Pershing a salary will be $13,500 annually or $10,125, is j. R. Mccarl controller general of the United states. It has been assumed that when general Pershing retire he would receive full pay possibly without allowances but it was stated today in certain quarters that unless the controller general makes a decision otherwise the general will receive on the retired three quarters of his Active pay without the allowances which Are granted to officers of the Active list. In the general s ease these reach $1,500 annually for heat and Light and $6,500 for quarters. This gives him a total income As general of the armies of $21,000 a year. Army officers wore inclined to believe there was authority under existing Law for continuing the general at full pay and present allowances but neither these officers nor the government officials would discuss the matter preferring to wait until the Issue actually arose. This would come about of the army finance officers approved vouchers for full pay and allowances after consultation with the judge advocate general. The vouchers would then go to controller general Mccarl for his decision. It was said at his office that the matter had not been brought up yet but officials there said he w Ould have the final w Ord to say until Congress or the president acted. The office of general of the army was created by a congressional act of june i 1888, but went out of existence August 5 of that year the Date of the death of general Philip h. Sheridan but it was revived by the act of september 3, 1919. Passed to fit the Case of general Pershing. The act of 1919 provided that the general should have the a pay prescribed by Section 24 of the act of Congress approved july 15, 1870, and such allowances As the president shall deem in making the Point that there was nothing in existing Law making any exception in favor of general Pershing for full Active pay after retirement government officials recalled that the War department had proposed legislation which would have operated to retain the general on the Active list but Congress failed to pass it. If the Bill had been passed general Pershing a present official income would have been preserved it was stated. A o friendless farm hand Dies in jail of heart trouble Huron s. P.

Mellon causes speculation in capital Ercles Treasury head May be forming some policy on War debts it is hinted Washington d. A. Aug. 25.�? Washington has a great mystery on its bands. What has become of the Secretary of the Treasury or. Mellon maybe it h a not been so Long but it seems like Ages since he w ent to Europe and furthermore he appears to have dropped completely out of the Public print. The last heard from the Secretary he was a so Mew Here in France Quot or Quot somewhere in Italy Quot or a somewhere in there is a growing suspicion in the capital that perhaps the head of the Treasury is endeavouring to work out some scheme for the funding of the foreign debts owed to us. In any event it so happens that the members of the foreign debt com Mission Are in Europe at this time and the chances Are More than even that they have joined hands with or. Mellon who is sex offi Cio a member of the body. Representative Theodore e. Burton of Ohio is a member of the commission and it was because of his absence in Europe that the duty of informing general Charlie daw�?Te9 that he was nominated at Cleveland More than two months ago fell upon other shoulders. Or. Burton was temporary chairman of the Cleveland convention and according to tradition in the two older parties it w As up to him to notify the vice presidential nominee. Another member of the commission is Edward n. Hurley of Chicago. Who had a fair sized Boom under Way for the democratic nomination for vice president when the new York convention began. So even if or. Mellon and the other debt commissioners do not com Home with specific agreements from the Allied countries to pay they at least will return with a first hand knowledge of european conditions which will enable them to Deal More intelligently with the problems that Are presented. There is no doubt in the world that great Britain feels More respect for herself and on better terms with the United states because of the agreement she reached for the funding of her debt.

A the w Eird mad act a of the youth was mentioned Only incidentally a the Veteran of the Chicago bar went Back of the crime itself to Trace from childhood the influences which had surrounded his clients. The effects of these he acknowledged could not be told with certainty but limits of human knowledge were blamed for that. Wealth Back of crime wealth opening the doors to no Way which led to denial of desire was a the Terrole misfortune in this terrible Case a or. Darrow said and then he took up the eases of each of the boys starting with Loeb. He spoke of him As a a dickies and said that the phantasm of being Able to produce a a perfect crime a grew naturally from the youths habitual Reading of detective stories super imposed upon a brain Quot forced like a Hothouse Plant to absorb Book after Book a by his governess. A this parents might have done better if they Hadnot had any Money a said or. Darrow. A nature is Strong and pitiless a he philosophize. A she works in her own mysterious Way and we Haven t much to do with it ourselves. A let us be honest with each other. We All know youth is without thought and without a he Drew audible comment from Bis audience As he added a congressmen judges lawyers yes even states attorneys have in youth done something that was wrong. That. They were not caught is their own Good he quoted St. Paul a epistle a when i was a child. I few As a child spoke As a child i thought As a child but when i became a Man t put away childish a that was written 20 centuries he said a but let us not forget it the Hest efforts of a thorough prepared Force of guard were required today to handle the hundreds of would be auditors of Clarence s.

Ajl except about two dozen of the e275 seats in judge John r. Caverly a court room went to friends of the attorneys or to person who were known to court attaches.

Or. Darrow came to court Early and was besieged by two dozen a a friends who sought admission to the court. He recognized three of them. Arriving in court the Veteran attorney was handed a sheaf of special delivery letters. He glanced at the postmarks smiled and then pocketed the missives. An a intellectual machine Leopold. Or. Darrow said was a an intellectual machine running without a governor and without balance without emotional life in any the pleader spoke of him As explaining he thought the family nickname More fitting than the states attorneys use of the word a a Many in connection with Leopold. A this intellectual machine was. Of course not understood by his father a said or. Darrow and he launched into a dissertation of the Nietch Zian philosophy of the super Man beyond Good or evil. He denounced that philosophy As idolatry and added a the question Here is How did this affect the impressionistic visionary dreaming mind of babe a rho read it while Normal boys were playing baseball. He never should have seen a but he got from it finally an obsession that he and his chum Dickie Loeb were indeed
