KICK MAY NET FLYER $4,000
Object Peter Walling Booted on
Staten Island Is Believed to Be
Ambrieris.

New York.-An early morning
crouch, a walk on the beach and a
kick at what he took for a mass Of
debris is likely to net Aviator Peter
Walling of Oakwood Heights, S. l.,
$4,000
Walling is working on a new sta
bilizer for aeroplanes, and particu-
larly knotty problem in mechanics was
occupying his mind when he stun
bled over mass of whitish sub
stance on the deserted beach near the
aviation field.
He kicked 1t out of the road, and
thought no more of the matter until
an old salt coming down the aviation
field stopped him.
"Son, you've got something on your
hoof that looks mighty like amber
girls to me-" said the ancient mariner.
Lets go back and see where it
came from"
"She sure is ambergris." said the
sailor, when they reached the object
of Walling's kick, and later in the day
a local chemist confirmed the state
ment.
Walling then took his precious bur-
den to the Museum of Natural History
and is to learn definitely whether his
chance kick was really worth $4,000.

Thief Makes Up Story but
Stretches II Too Far.
Walks Into Headquarters at Oakland
In Order TO "Beat others TO IT,"
but Finally Admits ne 10
the Man Sought.

Oakland. Cal.--The difnculty of
Mick Dabenich. who weighs 1856
pounds, in explaining just how two
footpads had managed to toss him on
to the roof OF a saloon. twenty feet
high, led today to a tale OF nocturnal
adventures which ended with Daben-
ich's admission to the police that IL
was he who made an unsuccessful at
tempt to rob the safe of the Franco
American Wine company, and who left
courteous note, explaining that
"nuthin was taken"
The note proved the adventurer's
undoing, for it was after comparing
It with sample of Dabenich's hand
writing that Chief of Police Peterson
wrung from him the confession Of his
attempt to crack the safe.
Dabenich appeared at the office of
Grief Peterson today In the rule of
an indignant citizen, seeking redress
from the wrongs suffered by being
robbed Of $65, and left on the roof of
a saloon, from which he had much diff
ficulty in descending. The police had
been searching for the burglar who
had entered the office of the wine COM
pany, and Chief Peterson asked Da-
benich to write his name. The hand
writing was exactly similar to that
of the note.
After making several unsuccessful at
tempts to explain just how he had
been thrown to the roof, which
seemed the only weak point in his
story, Dabenich blandly admitted that
he was the disappointed cracksman
and told an entertaining story of 9th.
er exploits of the same nature.
'1 couldn't get the safe open," he
said, $50 | went to a restaurant and
stole two napkins" A policeman felt
in his pocket and drew out two nap
kns. Then l robbed a doctors Of
fice,' he continued, "and got three pen
nies." The policeman again searched
his pockets and brought out three pen
nies. Dabenich seemed hurt to think
his word haG been doubted. but con-
tinued his story:
II thought l could do some business
with the Cave saloon, so | climbed up
on the roof and tried to get in through
a skylight, but couldn't make it 1t
was too far to drop. So gave it up"
But why did you come here and
say you had been robbed of SOS and
left on the roof?" asked the chief.
81 saw a woman looking at me
across the street." was the reply, "and
1 thought I'd better come here and
square myself"

Diggs Sentenced to 7 Years and
Fine OF $2OOO--Carminetti Is
Mo-, and$l5OO Fine--Will Appeal.

San Francisco, Sept 17.-Maury L.
Diggs. former state architect of Cali
fornia. was sentenced, today. by Judge
Van Fleet in the United States district
court to serve two years in the state
penilentiary at San Quentin and to
pay a fine of $200o for violating the
Mann white slave traffic act
F. Drew Gaminetti was sentenced to
rs months at San Quentin and to pay
Il fine of $500 for a similar offence.
Caminetti is the son of the United
States commissioner general of immi-
grafton.
\ Today stay of execution was
granted, and for that period Diggs was
admitted to bail in $4,000 and Can't
netti in $4,000 and meanwhile the de-
renee will perfect an appeal to the
United States circuit court of appeals.
Before sentence was imposed Robert
DeVlin, for the defence. argued that
should the sentence exceed on year,
il lay in tn direction of the court to
designate state or county jail
rather than a federal penitentiary.
Accordingly it came as surprise
when san Quentin penitentiary had
been designated, when Devlin request
ed the court TO amend the sentence to
specify the federal penitentary al
McNeiFs island, Washington
Judge Van Sleet ruled the sentence
must stand. but added that he was
willing application for change should
I've made to the department OF justice az
Washington.
Diggs WAS convicted Of having vio-
lated the Mann act on four counts an6
Gaminetti on one. Each count carried
maximum penalty of five years i'm
prisonment and 5000.
The offence charged was that the
prisoners transported Marsha War
, rington and Lola Norris from Sacra'
mento, Cal. to Reno, New, for i'm
moral purposes Both girls testified fol
the prosecution and both wives fol
their husbanGs.
The defences chief effort was tC
show there had been no criminal in
tent that the elopment to Reno was al
| Escapadea to which the men and
girls were driven by fright of scandal
and the threats Of their families.
The four led to Reno, March 10, were
arrested in Reno. March A. brought
back te Sacramento. and the men were
| released three days later on $4,000
bail.
The case then hung fire. until April
| II, when Digs and Caminett were
indicted. Prosecution Jagged, but the
case jumped suddenly into national
| notoriety, when John L. McNabe,
United States district attorney resign

ed saying in an open letter to Presi-
dent Wilson that political influence
was being brought on the attorney
general to prevent the cases from
coming to trial.
McNabes resignation was accepted
by the President in a brief note repri-
handing him for breach of discipline.
Special prosecutors then were named
and the trials began, Aug. 5.
Digs and Caminetti seemed uncon-
eerned when sentence was pronounced.
few minutes later they laughed and
ehatted with the newspaper men over
their plight. The mother and brother
of Caminetti and the wife and father
of Diggs were in court. The mother
and father listened with bowed heads
to Judge Van Fleets words. Mrs.
Diggs stared blankly at the judge, CIV
ing no sign that she realized what his
words meant
This was a crime of opportunity"
| said Judge Van Fleet in passing SEN
| tence. Il mean that the laxity of So
| cial conditions and the lack of paren-
tai control made it possible
81 wish to say that all through this
case there is the evidence that drink had
its paralyZng influences upon the morals
and the minds of these men and the
young girls with whom they went on
that trip to Reno. The terrible dehasng
influence of the saloon and the road
house is too disgustingly apparent and l

must pay the price for permitting the
