FALL-DOHENY

Not Called to Explain
$100,000 "Loan." .
ARGUMENTS MONDAY

"Jap Journal. '
' (Associated Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, Deo. '. 31. Pre
sentation ot evidence was com
pleted today in the trial of Albert
Fall and Edward L. Doheny on
churgea of criminal conspiracy. t
Both prosecution and defense
rested finally, after a swift knit
ting together of the last tangled
threads of evidence, leaving only
the closing arguments and the
judge's charge before the jury re
tires to consider Its verdict.
It Is probable the Jurymen will
be sent to their consultation room
by the middle ot next week to de
cide whether a punishable offense
was committeed when Doheny sent
Fall 5100,000 in a little black bag
In 1921, when Fall was interior
secretary and before the Doheny
oil interests received a lease -on
the Elk Hills naval oil reserves.
In a short rebuttal the prosecu
tion presented further testimony
that Fall had withheld information
from the senate oil committee and
that the government's arrange
ment with the ; Doheny company
was not looked upon with enthus
Usm by some officials ot the navy
department. -: -.- ; - t -
There was no rebuttal, and court
adjourned, until , Monday morning
when the arguments, of counsel
Hill begin. The court also- request
ed counsel to submit proposals for
instructions to the jury on Mon
day morning. . . ,
Fall Doesn't Testify
Shortly before resting Us case
today the defense attorneys aban
doned the proposal 'to ' have Fall
himself take the stand as Doheny
had done and explain the btory of
the $100,000 that passed between
the oil magnate and the then in
terior secretary in 1921, beiore Do
heny's oil interests were awarded
the lease to Elk Hills.; '
The case on behalf :of ;' Doheny
himself was rested yesterday ahd
two character witnesses were cal
led for Fall. One of them was
Postmaster General New. Today
the Fall attorneys said they were
content to rest without putting an
other word of evidence into the
record, but the Doheny counsel
secured permission to reopen their
case in order to hear John McCor
mlck, the ginger, as a character
witness for Doheny.
Then Owen J. Roberts, for the
government, began the presenta
tion of the prosecutions rebuttal.
It was indicated tliat ' the case
would go to the jury early - next
week. '
Defense Move Surprises
Sudden termination of the de
fense case apparently surprised
the prosecution. It had been de
cided on in overnight conferences
among counsel, who assessed the
possible effect of several impor
tant developments during ' yester
day's session. These included the
resistance of Doheny himself to
the penetrating cross-examination
conducted by Roberts, and the re
fusal of Secretary Wilbur to pro
duce confidential navy records on
which other witnesses have testi
fied to a "war scare" In the Pa
cific in 1921, when Doheny took the
first of his oil leases a contract
to build a naval fuel oil base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. '
McCormack, the only defense
witness called today before the de
fense rested, ralBed the tons of
his full Irish voice in defense of
the good reputation of Doheny
with whom he .said he was well ac
quainted. .' .
Jap Newspaper Peeved
TOKYO, Dec. 11. The Tokyo
Malnlchi, one of the oldest daily
newspapers in Japan, commenting
on 'evidence given at the trial ot
Edward L. Doheny and Albert B.
Fall on charges of conspiracy in
obtaining and granting government
oil leases, says the testimony of
Admiral Robison and others give
the Japanese food for thought.
"Since the lease was granted for
tne purpose of securing the navy s
oil supply for an emergency in the
Pactfic in the same year as the
Washington conference, it now be
comes plain that while tho Ameri
can government was anxiously try
ing to have ' world naval arma
ments limited, the American navy
was trying to increase its strength
in the form of an oil supply," says
the paper. '
"Whatever may be said of the
navy's position, there's no denying
the fact that America was guilty

nounced her intention of returning

ed when she married the film
comedian. She would have , her
two children baptised by the Ca

"Now that my marriage has turn
ed out to be a failure, I can re
turn to - my church. My mother

everything and turned my back
on my (family's religion. Now I
can turn to the faith of my child
hood," Mrs. Chaplin declared, i
Mrs. Chaplin explained that her
separation from the Catholic
church occurred at the time of
her marriage to Chaplin two years
ago. The marriage could not be
recognized under the precepts of
the church- because Chaplin had
been divorced. His first wite was
Mildred Harris, film actress.
"I Telt the separation from the
church most keenly at the; time
just after my two babies, were
born. I wanted them baptized in
order that they might enjoy the
consolation I threw away. - But
In deference to the wishes, of their

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 11.
That the spirit of Houdini, magi

a group of Portland spiritualists
through a local medium December
4 and expressed regret for the re
flections he had cast upon spirit
ualism while in his earthly body,
was told to the Telegram today by
Howard E. Weed; well known nur
seryman, and Charles F. Darber,
prominent floriculturist. The Tel
egram prints a column account of
the seancb on the front page todny.
Houdini was Introduced to the
group of Portland mediums and
investigators by the shade of Rob
ert Ingersoll, famous agnostic,
said the Telegram's Informants.
Houdini, according to Weed,
promised at some future time to
read a statement he was preparing
in which be would pass Judgment

must cultivate most today to got
ahead." - " .
Beryl Malley, professional mod
el, however, partly agreos that
shapely legs constitute a woman's
greatest cluirni.
"For the flapper type, legs count
most," she said. "All men love a
pretty ankle. A girl who isn't
good looking otherwise can have
lots ot admirers -by wearing dainty
pumps over silk stockinged legs
and showing them." ' ' j ' - 11
I Madame Frances ' Alda, famous
prima donna, also a possessor of
beautiful legs, acknowledged that
''all women are a bit ' vain about
showing pretty legs," but said that
in tho olden days the most fascin
ating beauties held their admirers
by mystery and subtle charm.
"Have we any women today
showing legs to her knees who Is
more lovely than they were?" she
asked. And answering the question
herself, she said: "1 don't think
so." ,
Dr. Harry Halton, physician, al
so fails to agree with her sister in
the same profession: . ,
"A sweet smile, a provocative
mouth, a pair of soft veiled eyes,

SALEM, Ore., . Dec. 11. The

on the part of the State Board ot

against the slate board. Secretary
ot State Kozer and State School

ment to default Governor Pierce,
the other ' member, will appear In

The default by Kozer and Turner
will mean that they personally will
be enjoined from signing the con
tracts with the publishing compan
ies, and even if the governor
should win in tho suit Individually
he would not nlono execute the

, This development grows . out of

Turner, in his letter, declares
that certain o lrcumstances sur

had in mind and purpose solely the

clares thnt In his opinion some un

"Mature and careful considera

tions made," snys Turner, , "Tljo
ngriculture and arithmetic adop
tions occupied the entire morning

in IS subjects were crowded - into

Turner further claims that some

in tho 'schools.-
It would seom desirable," he

"In view of the wide publicity
