Crow asked. Tea, often." Did the Leopold family have any automobiles?" "Yes, Ave." Visibly shaken by the ordeal of having to testify against the son of employer, Miss Sattler trembled dspoke in avolce that was bsrely audible. For the first time since the case opened tha defense croes-exsmlned State witness. Benjamin Bacarach merely asked Miss Sattler whether testified to the same things be fore the Stat grand She re plied "Yes" and dismissed. The defendants leaned forward as Arnold Maramont, student st ths University of Chicago, took the stand.

Leopold and Maramont stud law together at the university. Maramont told of having rsaelved typewritten sheets on law studies from Leopold. Mr, Crowe asked him to Identify portable used by Leopold ami Maramont replied that he saw a ma chine similar to the exhibit in Leo pold's home. Maramont described scenes at ths Leopold home where he said had often studied with young Leopold. He said It was In tha Leop old home that they prepared "dope sheets" used In preparing for ex- amlnations.

These "dope sheets, Maramont said, were written on the portable typewriter. He identified the sheets snd the typewriter. States Attorney Crowe asked the witness to explain how he studied for examinations and while the witness went Into the matter, Clarence Darrow stood up and listened attentively. Mr. Crowe laughingly auggested that Maramont speak louder so that Mr.

Darrow "might leant something." Mr. Darrow laughed and winked at the Judge. While the student testified Leopold and Loeb looked at each other and giggled. Leopold ap peared reminiscent as he heard accounts of days when he was a law student. Howard Obendorf, another law student followed Maramont on the stand and corroborated In details the previous witness' Morris Shamberg and Lester Abei- son, other law corroDor-ated the testimony of Maramont and Obendorf and when they were excused Judge Caverly ordered a ten- minute recess, Windows were opened allow fresh air to enter the court room, whlchh was hot almost to ths point ot suffocation.

The witnesses were permitted to leave tne stand ft.r that, as th purpose was to show the presence of tha car -held be that of Loeba ana Leopoia nesr the soot where th murdered bov's bodv was found. Bernard Hunt, who found th tfhlsel used In killing Robert testi fied; "About 180 a. May 32 I saw a big car drive-by the-corner of Tprty-nlnth "and Greenwood Something was thrown out of the car. I picked it up and saw It was a chisel bound wltn tape. Jtnere was blood on It.

I had reHd about the of Robert Franks and I turned the chisel over to the police and gave them a description of the machine." Just before the court was called into session yesterday, bailiffs lug ged In. a large steer filing cabinet with the drawers sealed and labeled, niacins- It near the witness stand It contained the many exhibits in the cass which the stats will use to clinch its arguments that the rnur er was premeditated and should earn a hanging veroici. Jacob Franks, who rose from awnbroker to millionaire, was the nrst witness to handle the exhibits. Immediately after taking the stand nd being identified various articles' clothing worn by his son when he disappeared were handed to him. "Yes," "Yes, sir," or a nod were his answer to the questions tending to Identify the belt buckle, the golf hose and other wearing ap parel.

Mr. Franks toid of tne long vigii while his boy was missing and then of the letter and telephone call demanding $10,000 ransom for the return, of little Robert. His voice quavered as he told of the all-night tall' beside the telephone, waiting for further Instructions as to de livery of the" money. Witnesses will show that while the rather was waiting to turn over the money, the body of his boy had oeen pusnea Into a culvert at the side of a lonely road. Mrs.

Franks, the mother, who has been a nervous wreck since tha kidnaping, walked to the stand with a firm tread. Her voice as she in-swered questions was firm, but Very low. A nod of the head was the usual answer as she was railed on to Identify the various bits ot clothing worn by her son at the time he disappeared. Her testimony was I brief and wholly routine. Edward M.

Gresham. uncle of the slain boy. told of the search for Robert and ot going to the morgue and Identifying the body. Other witnesses, fourteen 'of them, called by the state, told their stories yesterday. In they mounted the stand and piled up a mound of details; dull, Impersonal details; details which defense counsel admit.

Mr. Crowe created a sensation in court when he discussed the "private testimony" to be giyen Judge Caverly. The reference broke many suppressed "Ohs" from the specta At, once there was a wave of rumors that this testimony wss shocking and was the real reason why the families of th accused boys had decided on the plea ot guilty. Jt was apparent that counsel for the defense would not object to the proposed hearing In secret.

REPUBLICANS TO ACT ON RULES Takes Steps to Get Amounts Due Under Transporta-' tion Act of 1920 GIVE ATTENTION TO SMALL'ROADS NEW TORK, July 24. Represen tatives of a number of the smaller railroads with headquarters In New Tork City have been called to Washington for conferences with the Financial Division of the Interstate Commerce Commission to discuss the payment of the excess profits due the Government under the Transportation act of 1920.

This, it was learned yesterday, Is one of the first moves on the part ot the Interstate Commerce Commission to make collections under the recapture provision of the Transportation act of 1920. According to an authority on valuation, wbo represent one of the large railroads, Information ha been received from time to time of the smaller lines being called before the commission, but so far as he was able to ascertain, none of the larger railroads have been called. By th terms of the Transportation act of 1920 all the railroads ar call ed upon to divide their earnings in excess of 6 per cent. Into two equal funds. One ot these funds is to be turned over to the to be loaned to the weaker roads snd the other is to go to the treasury of the railroad reporting the earn ings to be used as a reserve for years in which the earnings do not reach 8 per cent, of their valuation.

Although the commission has fix ed only a few final valuations it asked railroads early In the year to submit their book value and to pay on account the excess profits due on this value. The railroads complied with this order, but with one or two exceptions the values submitted were so large that the excess profits tax was without effect on the earnings. Since that time the Financial (Division haa called in the representatives of a number ot the rail roads; asked them to show the method by which they arrived at the valuation and later sug gested in ths valuations and the payment of excess profits on "account." Final eettlement Is to made after th final valuation haa been arrived at. Among the railroads that have made settlements with the Government are the Duluth, Miflsabe Northern, and the Bes semer Lake Erie, born of which are owned by th United States Steel Corporation. Trading Active In Standard Corners During Morn- ing Hours NEW TORK, July tl, (United Press) Bouyancy characterlxed the early dealings In Wall Street today, with rails showing the greatest strength.

The stocks were stimulated by the car loading figurea tor the week ended July 12, showing freight trafflo holding about 10 per cent, below last year's record breaking volume. This assurance that the principal systems will show satisfactory earn ings this year, gave impetus to the demand for the standard carriers and further gains were scored by msny issues of this class. In the Industrials, oils were featured under the lead of the Pan-Americans. dnterboroiigh Rapid Tranalt broke to 1114, off point from the recent high, depressed by the transit commission's warning against undue speculation in ths stock. Fan American stock made a new high on the recovery at 58 and th stocks at 66.

Leopold -and Loeb again lost their amused smiles when Dr. Emil Deutch, eye Specialist, testified that the glasses found near the body or Robert Franks had been prescribe for Nathan Leopold. Four students of the University 'tot Chicago, former lntimates'of Leopold during his law studies there, sf urtner helped, the state "by testifying as to the ownership of the typewriter used by Leopold.

Leopold and Loeb tried to act In a carefree manner throughout but conaiderable concern as 'friend after friend mounted the aland. The youths were much tamused at the faltering testimony tot Patrolman Homer, who arrested 'Loeb on the day preceding Decoration Day, as a suspect in the Franks ihiurder case. Loeb was taken Into custody because he was a friend of Nathan Leopold and admitted he was with Leopold, on the day of the murder. It was the suave Leopold who was first suspected because of the finding of his (lasses near the scene of the murder. Jacobs Franks sat near the defendants.

State's Attorney Crowe, who is making rapid headway In presenting case largely because chief de fense counsel Clarence Harrow does not bother to contest the State': testimony and waives cross-examfn atioa of witness, prepared to place score of witnesses1 on the stand today. 'He will complete the State's Has by the end of the week. Mr. Darrow will take three days to present the defense. Vie told the 1'nited Press, indicating that the mire "trial" will be ended souie- lime next week.

i Convening of court was delayed a lew minutes. A conference was re ported In the chambers of Justice jpaverly. Due to a rain, the crowd ft spectators was cut down and the little courtroom, heretofore crowded beyond capacity, was about half fmpty. Firemen and policemen main jalned a guajd In the halls and the ourt to prevent overcrowoing. Court convened at 10.JO.

Both Ueb and Leopold appeared upon the scene both seeming at ease, Frank Russo, an employe of the 2ullman Company the Owt witness, testified to finding tin ransom note 6 New Tork. It was addressed to cob Franks and directed him to throw the ransom money from the train. i It said: "Proceed immediately to the back platform ot the rar.and have your package to off. When you see a large red brick building count to f)v, slowly and When you get opposite a large sign Which says throw the Package as far as you can to the right" (signed) George Johnson. iThe note was put an the car by the boys and Franks was instructed In the ransom letter how to secure i The place where the money was be thrown from the train is a fw miles from Chlcagoand the beys planned to be near In the car, the package and dash.

iFrank B. Tattle, manager of the Irenler Hotel, testified Leopold, bjlered at his hotel some time be-fire the murder under the name of Martin D. Ballard. Tuttle identified ait envelope addressed to "Ballard" vfhlch was sent to the hotel. jJacobs Franks did not get theran tim note because he failed to follow Instruction.

Leopold turned a half-sickly grin Patrolman George Horn, who testified to securing the 'Ballard" "letter. Loeb also was muqh amused at' the policeman's stuttering Teplles and grinned broadly, State's Attorney Crows asked Homer whether he made any arrests In the case. "Yes sir, I did," Homer replied. "Whom did you arrest?" Mr Crowe asked. 'Rirhard ''On what day, did you arrest Loeb?" "I'm not sure that I remember the date." "1 will refresh your memory, Mr.

Crowe said telling you that "Decoration on (Friday, May 39." "It was the day before Deceratlon Day that I arrested Loeb," the officer then replied.

LONDON, July 24 (United Press) Emma Goldman, notorious agitator, ha sought and obtained permission from the British home office to take up residence in Eng- iana, according to reports in labor circles. Continued From First Pag. lng each calendar year. The said department shall, within ten days after th end of each calendar year, notify th assessor ot property for city taxes for th city ot Wilming ton, the amount of money expended the preceding calendar year, for the purpose mentioned In this sec tion, The said assessor shall, at the same time that other property In the city ef Wilmington Is assessed for city taxes, make an assessment upon owners of property benefitted by ths Improvements of the banks, sluices, etc! as aforesaid. In pro portion to the benefit conferred upon each lot and its owner, and such assessment shall be known as 'River Bank.

The owner of any lot so assessed shall have the right to appeal from the said assessment, as Is now given to owners ot land In the city ot Wil mington, assessed for city tsxes, The assessment being so settled ss aforesaid, the same shall be laid before the Council at the same time and In the same manner as the as sessment for city taxes, and the Council shall determine the rate en and upon every hundred dollars of said assessment, and so pro rata. "Section 2. The special aesess ment for "Rives Bank Improve ment" shall be collected In the same way as city taxes are collected." A force ot twenty men Is employed In the work, under the direction of Cecil Hahn amt John Moore, in speotors of the Street and Sewer Department. Just how long: it will take ttt do the. work will depend upon conditions met when they be gin work on opening th clogged slulc gates, but it Is thought the work to be done at this time will not be near so great as at flrt est! matea, as tner is less than one thousand feet of the river bank In need of repair.

While the work Is being done primarily to relieve the sanitary con dltion of the residential section of South Wilmington, It will also tend to Increase the value of the marsh lands, most of which la held for speculative purposes, and also tend to relieve the city of Wllming ton to a considerable extent of the present pest of mosquitoes, which probably has nsver been worse than at this time. The' low lands, flooded oy rains ana nign tides, with no way for the water to run oft, pro vine an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes, and Wilmington sutlers in consequence. The dralnag of the -marsh land will benefit the residential section of South Wilmington, which atand on sjlghtly higher ground than the marshes, as th surface water will run off, but It la not likely to prove of great benefit to cellars In some parts of fhe residential section, as they are near the high water mark, and In some cases even lower. According to the survey made by the Street and Sewer Departmen most of the residential section 'In South Wilmington is from ten to twelve feet above low water msrk while some parls are as low as eight feet and some run as high as sixteen feet above low water. Th average tide In the Christiana River Is about five and one-half feet, A cellar built In the sections where the sur face of the land Is only eight feet above low wa4er, must necessarily be below the water level In the river at every high tide, and whU th present plan may help the surface drainage, there are likely to be some wet cellars In that section during some seasons of the year.
