FAIL, DOHENYS FACING TRIAL FORBRIBERY Demurrers Overruled by Judge in Famous SIOO,000 Oil Scandal. [TRIAL DATE NOT FIXED Justice States Grounds for ty. Attack on Indictment Were Faulty. Bu United Press WASHINGTON,J uly 6.—Former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, E. L. Doheny Sr., oil magnate, and his son, E. L. Doheny Jr., must stand trial on bribery charges in connection with the famous SIOO,OOO oil scandal transaction of Nov. 30, 1921, Justice William Hitz ruled in District of Columbia Supreme Court today. Hitz overruled demurrers interposed by the three defendants attacking two indictments as invalid. No date was set for trial. Due to the summer recess, it is unlikely the trial will start before the October term. One indictment charged the two Dohenys with giving the SIOO,OOO to Fall, then secretary. The other charged Fall with a' cepting the same alleged bribe, intended to influence his official acts. Found Grounds Faulty Justice Hitz stated the grounds upon which the indictments were attacked were faulty. The oil men argued that since President Harding’s executive order, transferring naval oil reserves to the Interior Department was invalid, Fall was unauthorized to lease Elk Hills oil reserve to Doheny ’s company; hence, that since he had no official power to act, he could not be bribed to do something he was powerless to do. ft Hitz said both Fall and the P Dohenys acted on the assumption the Harding order was valid and hence that a crime could be charged. The revelation of the transfer of SIOO,OIO which charged Doheny brought to Washington in a famous satchel described as “a little black bag” or a ‘‘brown satchel” created a sensation when it was disclosed in 1923, by the Senate oil investigating committee. Said It Was Personal Doheny admitted he gave the money, but said it was a personal loan between friends. Fall gave as security a personal note, which was torn in two by Doheny and half of it was given to Mrs. Doheny “to protect Fall from embarrassment in case anything should happen to us.” The elder Doheny and Fall already have been acquitted of conspiracy charges involving the transaction. The Government, however, has indicated it would press for trial of one of the indictments. Fall, in 1921 asked Doheny for money to pay some of his ranch debts, it was brought out at the Senate oil hearings. Doheny had his son obtain the money from Blair & Cos. in New York on his personal check and bring it to Fall here. The first Elk Hills lease was granted within four months afterward.

UNGENFELTER BLAST SEARS CITY COUNCIL OustedJßecause He Refused to ‘Pull Out Chestnuts,’ Declares Engineer. TURNS GUNS ON ‘GANG’ Bares Details of Clash Ovef Bids and Estimates on Interceptor Job. Bu Times Special DENVER, July 6.—Frank C. Lingenfelter, former Indianapolis city engineer, was ousted last Saturday by Mayor Duvall because he refused to -“pull the chestnuts out of the fire” for the city council in the Pleasant Run interceptor contract. That was his explanation of his sudden expulsion last Saturday, given when he arrived here today to attend a convention of Optimist International. “I don’t regret losing the job,” he said, “because I don't want to work with that kind of gang. I told Mayor Duvall when he appointed me three months ago that I would work with the council only as long as everything was straight and aboveboard.” Trouble over the interceptor contract started two weeks ago, Lingenfelter said, when a wide discrepancy between one bid and the engineer’s estimate appeared. The estimate was $780,000, he said, and had been made by George Schmidt, city engineer, who held office prior to Lingenfelter. This was SBO,OOO above an estimate prepared by Lingenfelter when he was engineer during the preceding administration, he said. When bids were submitted an Indianapolis firm, the Sheehan Construction Company, submitted a bid of $766,000. while a Chicago firm, the Krenn-DatO Company, put in a bid of only $637,000.

BYRD HOPES TO LAND AT SOUTH POLE ✓ Radio to Flash Information to World at Moment Goal Is Reached. INTEREST IS SCIENTIFIC Flier Wants to Fill in Maps of Uncharted Region on Hazardous Flight. BY A. L. BRADFORD Felted Pres* Stuff Correspondent PARIS. July 6.—America and the rest of the world may be able to hear, by radio, Commander Richard E. Byrd announce from his plane the moment he and his companions fly over the South Pole next December. Byrd, discussing his plans for the South Pole adventure, disclosed today that he has ordered a powerful wireless for his, polar plane. 4 few minutes before he takes off front the edge of the Anarctic ice fields south of New Zealand, to fly across the pole, he will notify radio stations, so they will be ready to pick up his message when he reaches the pole. Byrd intends to take portable wireless sets to be installed a 1 hir jumping off and his landing base at the other end of the Polar area. Plans for C'ross'-Check Thus, in case snowstorms prevent his navigator from taking bearings from the smi, Byrd hopes to be able to cross-clwck his position by taking radio bearings from two directions. However spectacular may be the idea of talking to the world while flying across the mythical pole, Bryd’s principal interest in the flight is scientific He hopes to be able to fill in maps which at present give only a sketchy outline of the south polar regions. He hopes to be able to confirm whether an extensive continent exists or if it is broken up by water. Plans for the trip still are uncertain. he said, but he is thinking of trying to land at the pole with one of the two planes to be taken on the expedition, provided that reconnoltering before the final takeoff shows the possibility of landing and taking off at the pole without great danger. Balrhen May Land Bernt Balchen, who will be one of Byrd s companions on the trip, already has offered to land at the pole and keep the motor turning slowly while an attempt is made by others !h the party to find traces of previous expeditions to the pole. The feature of the flight, however, will depend largely on the weather. Byrd and his companions continued today to go through the rounds of official functions, but their main interest was in starting back ’’to the United States to further their plans for the expedition tc the pole. They probably will sail on the Leviathan next Tuesday. Byrd is bearing the* brunt of the official receptions and ceremonies, much to the relief of his three flight companions. Bnjoy Bright Lights All that Montmartre saw of Lindbergh were his pictures, but not so now. Most of those along the narrow, winding, flagged streets leading up to the heights of Montmartre know Byrd’s companions by their first names. The gayest spot on the world has adopted Balchen, Acosta and Noville as Its heroes. While" Byrd is spending his evenings in his room at the Hotel Continental, the America’s popular crew, accompanied by American friends, are spending most of their usual sleeping hours exploring the bright lights bordering along the Palace Pigalle. • CAT SAVES TWO LIVES Couple, Awakened by Meow, Leap From Burning House.

STEPHENSON’S STATEMENTS TO BRING NEW AFFIDAVITS AGAINST INDIANAPOLIS MEN Prisoner Divulges That Important Documents Still Are in His Possession; Talks Freely to Officials. SINCERE, PROSECUTORS BELIEVE Sensational Disclosures Expected to Follow Revelations Made by Former Dragon i‘a Interview at Prison.

Additional affidavits will he filed against Indianapolis officials within the next few days as a result of revelations mAde by D. C. Stephenson to four Marion County prosecuting attorneys to whom he talked freely of his connection with local affairs at Indiana State Prison Tuesday. While none of the proseoutors will divulge the nature of the revelations or extent to which Stephenson took them into his confidence, they came back with sufficient evidence which they expect to be corroborated to justify further prosecutions. Stephenson was closeted for four hours at the prison with Prosecutor William H. Remy, Deputy William H. Sheaffer and Special Deputies Emsley W. Johnson and John W. Holtzman. * “He talked very freely to a certain point and gave us very valuable information,” said Johnson on his return.

One of the bits of information which the prosecutors gave out was that Stephenson denied that the documents to which he referred in his letter last fall to Thomas Adams, Vincennes Und.) editor, had been stolen from him. Stephenson said that they stiU are under his control and that they could be produced. The prosecutors refused to state whether they expected to get them immediately or how many of them they might hope to get in the near future. Calls Story Amazing “The story told by Stephenson was mast amazing.” said Ho.lzman. “We can not. of course give out the details. But It was most convincing ana results can be expected. “He treated us very wall. He had been told by his attorney to give to us certain information and gave It to the extent that he had been advised.” It was apparent from the prosecutor's remarks that they were most interested in the statement that Stephenson still has control of the documents which he said last fall would prove State-wide corruption. The last grand jury traced a black box of / documents to Mildred Meade, wh,o hastily fled, it is presumed to be the contents of that box which Stephenson referred to in his statements to-the prosecutors. Believed Sincere From the guarded admission of the prosecutors, -it was indicated that Stephenson was sincere when he Issued his statement that he had "been doubTe-crossed for the last time” and had decided to try out a system of revelations.” That he has told all he knows or involved any high official at this time appeared not so certain. It was believed that extent of the present statements is limited and that his attorneys expect to watch results of this part frankness before advising further statements. That he eventually will discuss all his political manipulations and connections as freely as he disclosed thftse on which action may be expected ir. the near future is the belief of those who talked with him. Confirm Statements The statements of Stephenson confirm to a degree the declarations made in his letter last September, made public by Thomas Adams. The statements which contain no direct charges are said to have further convinced the prosecutors that Stephenson could tell much more if he desired. The importance of the conference liep in the fact that for the first time Stephenson has talked to the proses cutors under conditions when he could be expected to make good on his first open charge. The failure to substantiate his first charges gave rise to the counter charge that Stephenson was bluffing and had no documents which would be embarrassing to any official whom he put ihto office. The continued visits of many men whose affiliations were suspicious and persistent efforts to prevent him from talking heightened the public belief that he was “sparring” and never would make good. " Knows of Grand Jury Actions That many witnesses were reluctant to go before the jury is understood by'ithe special prosecutors who havi come into the case. Among other things, Stephenson showed that he closely and accurately was informed as to the proceedings of the last grand jury and knew all evidence presented. That familiarity with the grand jiA-y investigation is tone of the matters now of importance to the special prosecutors recently named by Judge Collins to Investigate. They will Inquire, In all probability, as to the source of his tnlortnation and how It waa carried to him.

AGREEMENT ON CRUISERS NEAR England and United States Are in Accord. BY HENRY WOOD United Pres. Stiff Correspondent GENEVA. July 6.—Great Britain and the United States delegations at the naval armaments conference apparently were nearing an agreement today on total cruiser tonnage. The American delegation had ’agreed to raise its maximum tonnage figures from 300,000 to 400.000 and a statement by W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, to the press had indicated that his commission might meet or approach the American compromise. Bridgeman’s statement, like the speech the day before of Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones of the American commission, emphasized that Great Britain's only intention waa to provide herself with a navy adequate to keep her far-flung trade routes open. The British delegate answered press charges that Great Britain was seeking to build an excessive fleet by saying that his country was not asking for greater cruiser strength than she possessed before the war. Britain, he pointed out, In asking for small cruisers fitted with small guns, made It obvious that such craft were not intended for offensive purposes. 13 FLY TO LOUISVILLE Planes In Ford Reliability Tear Leave Cincinnati.
