The Go ernment relied largely on the t mony given before the Senate in tigators, putting into the record from that source Doheny's statement that he loaned Fall $100,000 in November, 1921, a few months before the Do- heny leases were awarded, and Fall's statement in which he said the money was loaned to him by Edward B.

The Tannhauser *Dich, teure Halle” also was beautifully done and in the Mozart duet, “‘Bel Maennern, veiche | Liebe fuehlen,” from *“Die Zauber- | flgete,” both voices and style of sing- ing were exquisite. n her German lledér Miss Mueller sang earnestly but not effectively for onie who had heard Schumann-Heink ‘0 the Bach “My Heart Ever Falith- f41” and Rethberg in some of the )chubert numbers.

On the other hand, she was superbly mistress of such old English songs as “Lovely Celia” and “Phillis Has Such TLovely Charms.” Rudolf Gruen at the plano proved an admirably inconspicuous co-ordinator for the singers. He did much to help make the morning's program delight- ful. H F JOHN McCORMACK'S RECITAL. John McCormack, that ballad sing ar supreme, who probably with the axception of Mme.

HOUSE OFFICIALS INSPECT TRIANGLE Underhill, Elliot and Lanham Tour Area Proposed for Immediate Purchase. 4 Personal inspection was made today 5y Representative Underhill of Mas- sachusetts, sponsor of the bill to ac- juire all of the triangle between Penn- sylvania avenue and the Mall as sites lor new Federal buildings, accom- sanied by Chairman Elliot of the House cominittee on public bulldings ind grounds, and Representative Fritz Lanham of Texas, the ranking Demo- sratic member, of the entire area and the four other pieces of property need- »d to square up the Mall west of the Capitol. . Mr. Underhill emphasi: again 1o- day that this property sHWould be ac- quired not only because the Govern- ment needs it for new public build- ings, but in order that an eyesore caused by Chinese establishments, fortune tellers and other undesirable places under the shadow of the Capl- tol might be cleaned out. Liitle Opposition Expected. Chairman Elliot said today -that there is no doubt that the bill au- 000 to purchasé the triangle south of the Avenue will be promptly by his committee. This is shown by a canvass of the committee. Apparently no member is opposed to this bill, which carries the support of Secretary Mellon and which passed the Senate yesterday. There seems a disposition among ‘members of the House committee and among some leaders in the House to use this bill, however, as a vehicle to carry through other legislative pro- posals. One of these is to provide an authorization of $50,000,000 to take care of post office needs in some six or e ght of the principal cities. An- other is to liberalize the general public bulidings bill so as to make another $10,000,000 available annually for public buildings all over the country. Those who are anxious to see the $25,000,000 authorization for the tri- angle south of Pennsylvania avenue promptly epacted prefer that it should not be incumbered with these other proposals. A plan now is being con- sidered whereby a liberalization of the general public buildings bill may be put through the House in advance of the $26,000,000 measure for Washing- ton. Chairman Elliot said today that he does ‘yet know when his commit- tee will hold its next meeting. The public buildings and grounds commit- tee, however, will soon have a day in the House on which to call up its measures. and at that time the Under- hill $25,000,000 bill will probably be the first to be taken up.

The second group also was a feast for the connoisseurs—a feast of moderns. Reepighi provided “I Tempi assai Lontani,” a beautiful song; two old Chinese poems, as fragrant as lotus buds and as fragile as the enam- eled beautles of Ming figures, with dis- eriminating, artistic setting by Ban- tock, proved a treasure find for con- cert programs, and Elgar's “Is She Not Passing Fair?’ completed the group. The encores were Coléridge- Taylor's “She Rested by the Broken " and Blanche Seaver's “Just for Today.” For the audience at large the real climax of the program was the next roup, with Hughes' arrangement of “The Next Market Day,” sending a roar of laughter all over the house that sobered and hung pendant dur- 1 “Kathleen Mavourneen,” only to break loose more completely for th little encore, “‘Open the Dor, Dear.”!

Er:nd others of the jury expressed the same viewpoint. Called together from different walks of life to meet in a trial which has made history, they shared and shared alike the lights and shadows of days and nights of confinement which grew daily more irksome. “No, we didn't have any personal arguments, although we argued con- stantly about the case,” explained a juror, “and we went in the room strangers and emerged ‘friends. I'm glad to have had a chance to meet such a fine bunch of men. We hope to meet again some day socially.” Playing cards and dominoes saw hard usage dufing the hours between sessions of the court. There was even the click of the ‘“rolling bones” at odd times, one of the 12 said, but there was none to say who won or who lost.

Pose With Their Counsel. Then came the .cameramen. Out- side the courthouse on the front steps the two former defendants posed good naturedly for a battéry of about 20 cameras. With them stood their counsel, Mr. Hogan, Wilton J. Lam- bert, Mark B. Thompson, Levi Cook and Frederick R. Kellogg. J. J. Cotter, one of the legal staff of the Pan-American Co. and the man who negotlated the leases for the April 25, 1922, and the December 11, 1922, leases and contracts, was absent for the first time during the trial. So also was Henry E. Wise, one of Do- heny’s counsel and former New York district attorney, As soon as the cameramen dis- persed, Doheny hurried home to his wife, and Fall, accompan'ed by Mrs. Fall and Mrs. Chase, returned to the Wardman Park Hotel. The scene before court convened at 10 o'clock was hardly less interesting than the announcement of the verdict itself. Spectators who had lingered about the courtroom until 10 o’clock last night reappeared early this morn- ing. There was a buzz of antic'pation and speculation as to the jury's prob- able verdict. Then as the hour ap- proached came a rumor to the effect that the jury had reached an agree- ment a short while before. The at- mosphere seemed to tingle with the expectation that the jury either would be in disagreement or would render a verdict of acquittal.

The jurors them- selves appeared serfous. Each had 2 perfect “poker” face. There was one thing certain, however, about thelr demeanor. Their job was over. their three weeks' “‘imprisonment” at an end. Mr. Doheny was the first ¢f the wo defendants to take his seat, eit- ting as usual beside his son. He ap- neared early at the courthouse. Mr Doheny was seen to pat him genially on the shoulder, as though cheering him up.

He appeared calm, too, but his face lacked the genial smile of the ~o-defendant. ‘The whole procedure, from the time that the balliff announced that court was in sesslon until the jury an- nounced its verdict of “not guilty” for both defendants, took only about 5 minutes.

Resigned to Long Wait. When the jury filed out of the court- | room yesterday afternoon with the caso bpth defendants and their coun- sel resigned themselves to a period of waiting, how long, though, they did not know. Mr. Fall took a seat be- | side his wife in the division occupied by the defense, while Mr. Doheny joined his daughter in-law, Mrs. Ho- gangher daughter, and a few intimate friends from Los Angeles. Mrs. Do- heny, who had been present dhily up until Tuesday, was held in her apart- ment in the Cariton Hotel with a heavy cold reported to be bordering on pneumonia. It was with difficulty that Mr. Doheny persuaded her to remain at the hotel. The minutes dragged on into hours. As smoking was prohibited in the courtroom, Mr. Fall made frequent visits into the corridors to enjoy a cigarette, while Mr. Doheny continued to converse with his friends. Then about 6 o'clock, the word was passed about that Justice Hoehling was going to his dinner and would not return un- til 7:30 o'clock. This meant that a verdict, even if ready before that hour, could not be presented until the pre- slding judge took his place on the bench. The defendants then repaired to the Columbian Building, where space has been set aside for luncheon daily, and ate their dinner. ‘The jury for the first time, was not permitted to eat their dinner outside. It was brought to the members short- ly after 6 o'clock and served in their room. Then they were taken in a body to “wash up"” and as they marched along the upper corridor in single file, they seemed to be in high spirits. One or two members were minus coats, collars and ties. When they again went into seclusion, strains of ‘“barber shop” harmony found }helr way to the ears of these wait- ng. Crowd Is Thinned Out.

Government. | §1.031408 093 BILL FORU. S HIGHWAYS {Route From Capital to San | Diego Is 97 Per Cent Im- proved, Says MacDonald. By the Associated Press. Almost three-quarters of the great Federal-aid highway system is rated “improved,” but the work of improve ment is not three-quarters completed, since increasing traffic will make it necessary to improve to a higher de- gree a considerable mileage of low- type roads. This was the conclusion today of | Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureat of Public Roads, who reported that the Federal and State Govern- ments had spent $1,051,403,098 on the system of Federal-aid highways, the Federal Government's contribution having been $463,554,553. Improvement of several transconti- nental routes, he said, is nearing com- pletion. A route extending from Washington to San Diego, Calif.. through St. Louis, Texarkana and EI Paso, Tex., is 97 per cent improved. Another from Atlantic City to Astoria Oreg., s seven-eighths improved, while a third, from Boston to Seattle. through the northern tier of States, is 73 per cent improved and 69 per cent surfaced. Federal-ald road projects completed last year contributed a net addition of 9,417 miles to the system, making the aggregate of improved roads 55,902 miles. There was also in process of improvement 10,962 miles, while proj- ects for 2,469 miles had been sanc- tioned. The system now has an ag- gregate of 182,134 miles selected by the State and Federal nighway offi- clals as essential links of a network adequate for the accommodation of interstate traffic. one against the Pan-American Co. and another against the Mammoth 0il Co., in Los Angeles and in Chey- enne, Wyo. These, however, are yet to be disposed of by the highest court. Admiration for Roberts. For Mr. Roberts, who bore the brunt of the case in open court, the defense attorneys had nothing but ing qualities, despite the attacks leveled at him in closing arguments. PROMISE T0 PROBE PAY OF WOMEN Senators, Defeating $200,- 000 Item for Bureau, Pledge Study of Conditions. An effort by Senator Bruce of Mary- land to add $200,000 to the Treasury- Post Office appropriation bill for the purpose of granting higher wages to women in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing failed yesterday after- noon. but members of the appropria- tions committee promised Senator Bruce they would look into it further. Senator Bruce explained he merely wanted to equalize the pay of women in the engraving bureau with those doing work of a similar nature in the Government Printing Office. Senator Warren said he was not opposed to the principle sought by the Bruce amendment, but would have to raise a point of order against it because it had not been estimated for in the regular way or considered by the com mittee. Senator Smoot assured Senato Bruce he would look into the statu of the women in the engraving bu .reau under the reclassification law With this assurance, Senator Bruc withdrew the amendment. Practically all of yesterday after noon was taken up with a verbal spar ring match between members of th appropriations committee and severa of the Senate wets over the amend ment which would have permitted th prohibition unit to make advances t. special disbursing agents up to a lim it of §500,000 for the services of “un dercover” men in obtaining evidenc of liquor violations. After two hour: of debate the amendment was rule out of order. Passage of the bill was further de layed by Senator McKellar, Democra! Tennessee, who attacked an amend ment increasing the allowance fo transportation of foreign mails by $1 032,960. He held that the mail cor tracts were in effect subsidies. The bill will be taken up again th: afternoon. STOP SIGNS IN PLACE.

Persons who had “paired up” soon talked themselves out and individuals began to wander aimlessly around the courthouse. When the hour of 9:30 arrived, new hope was born that a verdict would be returned within the next half hour, but when a deputy marshal rushed down stairs and an- nounced that Justice Hoehling had retired to his home for the night, keen disappointment was evident from all sides. “I guess they're having a pretty good tussle,” commented one of the defense counsel as the courthouse was being emptied rapidly. The de- fendants, however, were not “eard to observe the significance, if any, to them of the 7 hours and 10 minutes’ deliberation of the men to whom their fate had been cast. Wide Interest Aroused. The trial attracted Nation-wide at- tention, as evidenced by the fact that more than a score of representatives of press assoclations and newspapers were present throughout the proceed- ings. While the charge against Fall and Doheny ,was characterized by court and opposing counsel as a “grave one,” interest in the case was keen because of the prominence of the accused men. They brought to the trial counsel who were heralded as the best in the country, but it remained for Wash- Ington’s own attorney, Mr. Hogan, to bear the brunt of the case. He not only served as chief of Doheny's counsel, but presented Fall's case like- wise, owing to the close relationship of the two. Furthermore, all but an hour or two of the six allotted the defense for closing argument was utilized by Hogan. During this fea- ture of the case, the attorney fought tooth and nail for his client. At the close of the first day he summed up the defense case for the jury he wa: physically. exhausted, ‘The Government, however, likewise was represented by two of the ablest attorneys in the country—Mr. Roberts and former Senator Pomerene. They were drawn from private life for the task, an honor which they fully ap- preciated, and they performed their duty to the utmost limit of their ability.
