former senate colleague.
Fall was sworn.
Senator Walsh asked him if he
wished to make any further state
ment.
Il decline to answer any ques-
tions," Fall answered in a steady
voice.
Fall Gets Tough.
FAN then challenged the authority
Of the committee to quiz him.
He said the resolution passed by
the senate providing for the present
investigation was not in force now,
since other resolutions of condemna-
ton of oil leases had since been
passed.
81 also decline to answer on the
ground it may incriminate me-" Fall
said.
Chairman Lenroot of the COM
mittee ordered the chamber closed
after Fall had concluded and the
committee went into executive ses-
sion to decide what should be done.
One point Fall raised was that
the present investigating committee
was appointed during the last con-
gress and that it had no power in
the present congress.
To meet this objection the COM
mittee will ask adoption in the SEN
ate Monday Of a resolution giving
it power under the present con-
gress. This action was unanimously
decided upon motion of Senator
Walsh. Montana democrat.
Falls counsel maintains the fed
eral grand jury would have to in
dict Fall for contempt before he
would be required to answer.
II have looked up the matter and
I find that the committee must re-
port, If it wishes, to the president
of the senate that a witness has
refused to answer questions" Cook
said. 1.-THE president of the senate
then hands the matter to the fed
eral district attorney who presents
the facts to the grand jury. The
grand jury may then indict the wit
ness for refusing TO answer"
In executive session, the commit
tee discussed holding Fall in con-
tempt. The senate could try him
on Recommendation of the commit
tee in contempt proceedings and Fall
would be sent to Jail if found guilty
and if he still declined to answer
Fall appeared on the verge Of
collapse at first, but after reading

 Sarazens card of IA for the days play, comprising two consistent and at times brilliant rounds of 72 each gave him a one-stroke margin over Aubrey Boomer, the French star, who is mak- ing a gallant bid to regain the title he held in 1922.
 Cyril Tolley, the British amateur, with two fine 73s held third place with Raymond Bodczau. Hagen, who was off color in the morning with 75, ral- lied in the afternoon and turned in a card of 75, but was unable to gain on the leader.
 The best round scored today was by Angel de la Torre, the Spanish cham pion, who shot Il, one over par and gained tie for fifth place with Hagen and La Fitte. After a fine start, the French veteran, Irrigoyen, took 77 in the afternoon and finished with 149, while Arnaud Massey, the former champion, required 151.
 Hagen and Sarazen will meet Massey and Jean Gassiat Thursday in a four ball match on the Chantilly links at 36 holes. The prize is 10000 francs, offered by French sportsman.
