LAWYER IS ORDERED | TO RESTORE $44,700 Court Rebuker Richmond Man in Acts of Ten Years Ago, When Practicing in Missouri. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, March 15.—Another chapter in the litigation involving the Dubbs oil-cracking process was written with the filing here of an order by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals directing Holmes Hall, former Sedalia lawyer, to re- store $44,700 of a $99,900 fee he re- ceived as special master in the case | a decade ago. Hall now lives in Richmond, Va. Hall was appointed in 1921 by Judge Arba S. Van Valkenburgh in the action of the Universal Oil Products Co. against the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, and apparently | based his fee on a charge of $100 | & day for 999 days. Hall’s attempt to collect an addi- tional sum led to the court order, which was accompanied by a sharp rebuke. He was directed not only to repay part of his original fee, but to pay interest at 6 per cent from October 18, 1924. Lawsuits in which Carbon Pe- troleum Dubbs sought to recover on an oil-cracking process invented by his father have attracted wide at- tention. | SENTENCED TO DEATH Arkansas Man Convicted of Slay- ing Spinster in January.

H, March 15—The administration of Dartmouth College yesterday served notice on the student body that its social functions must be kept “within bounds” or dispensed with altogether. President Ernest M. Hopkins, In a letter to Albert L. Bidney of Madison, N. J., head of the Green Key, junior honorary soclety, said that Dart- mouth’s recent Winter carnival was “a liability to the college rather than an asset” and that the annual Green Key promenade could not be held unless definite assurances coull be given that propriety would attend it. ‘The president said: “My instinct is to avoid any further trouble for the year and any further damage to Dartmouth's reputation—which in the last analysis is damage to every under- graduate’s reputation—by saying that we will have no more formal social events this year.” For the perfect DRY MARTINI MARTINI &ROSSI DRY VERMOUTH Imported by W.A.TAYLOR & CO., N.
