Thaw, before he left vesterday. took pains to explain that he had chosen the life of a “quiet fellow” in a place where newspapers leave him alone. All-night cabarets, at which he was recently seen with Fawn Gray, a dancer, and to whom he is sald to have given a $5,000 diamond bracelet, still attract him. But the fast life, he says, has nothing compared to that in own of 7,000 souls. ‘Why 1 am a magnate down there,” he boasted. referring to his support of the town base bail team. “One of the things I did here was to buy & new supply of equipment—balls, gloves and uniforms. We've got one of the fast teams in the Valley of Virginia. “1 was here on business,” he added, “but I had a darn good time. And that goes despite some of the foolish #tories that have been printed. But it's wonderful down there. Why, I can arrest folks 'n everything.” Thaw dined in Newark last night with a _companion said to have been Miss Gray. Negro Slayer Electrocuted.

Judge McCormick declares it “consti: tutes a fraud upon the United States of America and renders void all con tracts and transactions made between the Pan-American Petroleum and ‘Transport Co. or its subsidiary, the Pan-American Petroleum Co.. and the United States of America subsequent thereto."” The payment of the $100,000 to Fall at a time when Doheny’s ofl lease and contract proposals were pending in the Interior Department, the court adds in Latin, was contrary to good morals. “Satchel” Transfer Injected. What was widely discussed at the time of the Senate oil investigations as “the little black satchel” angle of the Fall payment also came in for a few paragraphs of comment in the court’s decision, Judge McCormick pointing out that “sald Edward L. Doheny did not transmit said sum in the usual manner customary in busi- ness transactions,” but chose to de liver it “in a satchel by the hands of Edward L. Doheny, jr.” Fall, the court emphasizes, was the dominating figure in the Government's negotlations with Doheny. Edwin Denby, then Secretary of the Navy, is described as “passive throughout | all of the negotiations,” signing the leases and contracts giving the Do heny interests control of the $100, 000,000 ofl lands “under misahprehen sion and without full knowledge of the contents of said documents. As early as July R . almost a vear before the first | contract was signed, the decision recites, Fall wrote to Doheny. “There will he no possi- bility of any further conflict with | Navy officials and this department, as T have notified Secretary Denby that 1 should conduct the matter of naval leases.” Sees Bar to Competiton. In general, the actions of Fall and Doheny are described by the court as a maneuver to give the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Co. and its subsidiaries such complete control of naval oil reserve No. 1 that all com petitors of Doheny would be virtually barred from participation in its ex ploftation, Declaring the leases and contracts | null and void. the court commands | that the defendant companies “should cease to trespass Gipon the lands of the United States” and surrender the | leases and contracts to the Govern ment for cancellation. The Doheny companies ars ordered to pay all the costs of the lease can- cellation suit brought against them, but it is also ruled that the defend ants are entitled to be “paid and al- lowed credit for money actually ex. pended in the construction of storage facilities for crude products at Pearl Harbor.

Doheny's contention that the nego- | tiations for the Pearl Harbor con- tract were kept secret for patriotic reasons. reasons of military expedi- ency, is disposed of with the fl: statement that the secrecy was order that Congress and should not know what done.” Meanwhile, Washington n the public was being Doheny's counsel and /Los Angeles dicted that whichever side when the case comes before the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals in San Francisco next Fall, it will 2o to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision.

The need of studying the mental life of a child in its earliest deviations in order to correct neurotic trends which may lead to an insane asylum or jail for the adult was stressed by Dr. Nolan D. C. Lewis of the St. Eliza- beth's Hospital staff today before the regional conference on child welfare of the Washington district at the Raleigh Hotel. The child starts life, Dr. Lewis said, with very few inherited instincts and emotions. Upon these the complex habit svstems of the human individual are built. The development of these can be traced in the play, fights, dreams and other activities of children Amply Repay Thelr Cost. Child-guidance clinics in every city, intelligently administered. would do much to cut down the Nation's bil for the criminal and insane, he said, and would more than repay their cost. The working of such a eclinic in Richmond was described. It is taken advantage of not alone by the social welfare workers. but by wealthier Richmond families worried over trends their children display. The cost of such a clinic in Washington, it was reported. has been estimated at about $40,000 a vear. Dr. Milton Fairchild told the con ference of the progress of his work in character research and warned against » much dependance on the results of psychological tests. These often fail to take into account the whole life history of the child, he said At the luncheon meeting this noon problems of institutions were dis- cussed by Samuel S. Solender.
