12 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO FALLTRAL OPENS LASTOF O DRANA Conviction Would Be First in 5-Year Battle—Doheny’s Case Yet on Docket. Probably the last scenes in a drama of unprecedented proportions in Amer- ican history will be staged in the trial of Albert B. Fall on the charge of ac- cepting a bribe while Secretary of the Interior, which opens in the District Supreme Court tomorrow. Aged and ill, the man who at the height of his strength and power seven years ago, leased valuable naval oil reserves in Wyoming and California to arate Sinclair and Doheny cor- X porations, goes on trial to defend the | acts that have resulted in numemusI criminal and civil suits. Specifically, he is to deny that the $100,000, brought to him *“in a little black satchel” by the son of Edward L. Doheny, bribed him to lease the Elk Hills, Calif., oil reserves to his “old friend and fellow prospector.” If Fall is found guilty it will be the first conviction in five long years of prosecution in the oil scandal cases. Harry F. Sinclair went to jail, but his concurrent six-month sentences were for contempt of the Senate in refusing to answer questions and for jury shadow All of the trials for con- spiracy and fraud have resulted .in either acquittal or mistrial. ‘Through civil suits all property in- volved has been returned to the Gov- ernment. In adition, it has possession of valuable equipment set up by the Sinclair and Doheny operations. Royal- ties were paid on all oil taken from the reserves, and Leo A. Rover, Federal district attorney who will assist Atlee | Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, spe- cial council in prosecuting Fall, says the Government has not lost a cent. Prosecution of bribery charges against Fall and against Doheny is virtually all that remains to be done before the ¢acket is cleared of the maelstrom that almost wrecked an administration and aroused the wrath of a nation. Convicted, Fall will face a fine of not more than three times the amount of the alleged bribe, not more than three years' imprisonment, and the specification that he never again may hold public office. If he is not convicted, it is probable the charges against Doheny will be Olive Perkins (left) and her mother, Evelyn Perkins, are competing against each other in the national beauty pageant in Los Angeles.—Associated Press Photo.

A ring that prevents gas from es- caping from a gas range has been in- vented by two Swedish youths, 8. Theo- rin and Berger Trysen. It fits around the burner and is connected by an arm with a safety valve.

C, OCTOBER 6 X Sergeants’ Torture Drill Killed Old Gymnastics, Says Y M. C. A. Man Decline in popularity of the old- fashioned setting-up exercises, necessi- tating changed policies and programs on the part of gymnasium authorities, is traceable directly to certain earl? morning “physical torture” exercises en- forced by hard-boiled Army sergeants at sundry training camps a decade ago. ‘This, at least, is the opinion of one of Washington's veteran professors of physical education, S. Edward Beckett, head of the physical department of the {?cm Young Men's Christian Associa- jon. Beckett declares that efforts of physical education experts to maintain popularity of the military-like “chest- out-chin-up-arms-horizontal” type of body-bending exercises have proved difficult, because of the “painful memories” they revive. “The men don't want to indulge in rigid routine,” Beckett explained yes- terday, in announcing a “modernizec gymnasium program for the local Y. M. C. A. for the Fall and Winter. “What the men want today is sport. They want to indulge in fast and furious games, like indoor base ball, basket ball, volley ball and so forth,” he said. The new order of physical education in the Y. M. C. A. also includes swim- ming, bowling, boxing and even “canned sunshine” in an ultra-violet ray solarfum. Special midday recreational periods are provided for business and professional men. BROOKHART E!LMMS VETERANS NEGLECTED Many Declared in Hospitals, But Not Otherwise Com- pensated.
