The manner in which the leases were negotiated secretly by former Secretary Fall was described as in disregard of the statutes, The leases themselves were de clared, “indefensibly wasteful” and based on a policy which congress alone had authority to determine. Fall's ac! of $100,000 from E. L. Doheny was characterized in the last degree reprehensible although no oplplon was expressed noe as to whether the payment was in fact a loan. Shipment by Harry F.

Instead, he is now at home with his family, has a keen appetite and a big smile. It is more than a month since he was rushed to the hospital from an auto accident where he was badly smashed up. Medical and surgical sciences gave up the job, acknowl- edged the fact that he was beyond their hel But Claude Bullack didn't give himself up. Nor did his wife. She stood by and helped him hold on when he neared the edge. His friends wore smiles when they came around. Moaning, groaning, weep- ing, wailing—there was none of that. When a man is so low that his pulse is registering only eight beat a minute, what brings him back? It's a case of the marvelous power of mind over matter, Wyoming's supreme court has mace necessary a second trial of Ralph S. Tobin on the same charge of running a gambling house here. Retrial will be held, not because Tobin may not be just as guilty as first proved, but because a slight mistake was made by Judge Robert R. Rose in instructing his jury. By much expense Tobin sought to completely upset judgment on points of legal technicalities. He has suc- eded in making the state double its expense in order to penalize him for his guilt. For that trick he should be handed his original sen- tence and fine—both doubled. {It took a stout heart for George }Goble to place fourth in the mile run at the national track meet in Chicago the other day.
