NOTED LAWYER
SOUGHT FOR
BRIBERY
Juror Said to Have Confessed
That William ]. FaIIon
Bought Him.
BY International News Service.

NEW YORK, May 20 The gate
ways from America to the nearest
foreign countries-Canada and Mex.
ico-were being watched today for
William j. Fallon. prominent New
FORK criminal lawyer.
Fallon is being sought by Govern
ment agents following a warrant
for his arrest on sight issued by
Federal Judge Goddard The war
rant was the climax to a confession
reputed to have been made by
Charles w. Rendigs that Fallon
bribed him to swear falsely in
order to qualify as a juror in the
trial of E. NJ. Fuller, bucketeer.
In addition to the new allegation,
Fallon is under $4,000 bond on an
indictment which charged that he
gave Rendigs, then a juror in the
Durrell-Gregory mail defrauding
case. 50 900 to vote for an acquittal.
Fallon was last seen in New York
Monday morning in the criminal
courts building. At that time the
report was circulated that Rendigs
was making a confession to the dis.
trict attorney.
Rendigs' confession, as quoted by
those claimed to be conversant with
it, revelead Rendigs' alleged deal
ings with Fallon.
"Fallon bribed me to vote for ac-
quittal in the Durrell- Gregory case >
Rendigs is alleged to have con.
fessed. He gave me $4,000 and
promised me $4,000 additional, and
never made good, so why SHOULD
stick by him."

Former Agriculture Chief Says
They Are Sick of Old
Parties

Declaring that the West and
Northwest were lost to the Re-
publican party and that up to date
the Democratic party had not won
them, Carl Vrooman, former Assis-
tant Secretary of Agriculture, yos-
terday told the National Popular
Government League in the Ebbitt
Hotel that the farmers were going
to put up a fight and astonish the
world.
Mr.. Vrooman declared that the
party that saves the farmer will
have 100000 votes to back it.
They stand ready, he declared, to
vote for someone who will give
them material aid.
He declared more than Is per
cent of the farmers were now
actually or potentially bankrupt.
The most vital issue that the
farmer is faced with, Mr.. Vrooman
stated, is the crop surplus.
Following the war, he declared,
Herbert Hoover went to Congress
and had an appropriation given to
buy SIC, 000,00 worth Of food stuffs
to ship to the starving people in
Russia. AS Mr.. Hoover began to
buy these commodities, the prices
rose and the farmer saved $780,
100000 which would have gone to
waste.
Mr.. VroomSn declared that the
per cent surplus had upset the
economic balance of America and
beggared sixty million farmers and
their families. The solving of this
problem of what we should do with
the surplus is the biggest oppor.
tunity that a party ever had, he
said.

The Dramatic Story Of
Chickie's Attempt
to Come Back
Continued from Yesterday.

ChicAie hated giving these
charges up. 1t was a stabbing
grief each time one left, But she
had to do 1t. For this was but
a great old house with an i'm
mense garden and there wasn't
money enough though David add
ed $4,000 to the $4,000 Jake
had given. Even so they couldn't
keep the children always. And
this had been her dream i.
oh, have a temple where every
child would be. Gods blessed
child and none would dare to
put a brand upon them.
The best she could do was to
keep them a year or two-give
them the wealth of Martha
Blake's dear arms. Martha came
and ran the place. Her work at
home was done. Tommy. though
only twenty-three, was married
then Jimmy.
Mary went down to Honolulu
on a visit. She wrote: "Chickie,
do you remember Angela in "The

awfully dear and would be just
the wife for him." A year later
Jimmy married the golden girl.
So Martha had no tasks for her
rich and willing hanos nor Tor the
mellow soul. She offered herself
to Chickie.
She said. How proud you make
me feel, Chickie."
Chickie answered, Martha, do
you ever dream how much you
did for me, and even taking

And Martha Graded in her

1t was but half of dream
that Chickie had-less than that;
only beating around the bush;
only the prick Of a pin against an
iron wall. Girls were hunted
just the same and little ones were
branded. Sometimes a mother
wanted her child most piercingly
and didn't dare to take it, dread

cruel-making out the child the
wrong. Why couldn't the world
be big and decent about it and
say, well, since you're here, you
little fellow-welcome!'
Yet Chickie could stand in that
garden and bless the flowers, bless
the sun dancing on leaves, and
wonder why so much was granted
her.

GREGG PEEVED
At MINOR
BOSS
Seattle Manager Will Let Him
Go To Yanks Next Year,
But Not This

SEATTLE, Sept. 5-Vean Gregg
Is not going to the major leagues
this season.
Regarding rumors that the Seattle
veteran would be sold to the New
York Yankees, Charley Lockhard
said yesterday that he had made
his decision on the Gregg matter
and that it would stand.
Lockhart realizes that Seattle's
pitching staff is not strong enough
to permit one of its strongest mem.
bers to be released at this time.
Doubtless Gregg could help the
Yankees, who need a good left.
handler, but nobody needs him
worse than Killefer. Seattle's
pitching has been bad this week,
and Gregg's going would only ruin
the indians chance to head off the
Seals.
Gregg is very anxious to go up,
naturally, and it is even rumored
that he is a bit peeved at Lockard
for not making the deal. But
selling it's star southpaw would not
only be unfair to the fans, but to
the rest of the players on the team.
II the Yanks want Gregg next
spring, Seattle will let him go.

PONIES LOOKED
To FOR WIN
IN POLO
Greath Britain's Greatest Hope
In Challenge Matches Is
In Horses
By TOM THORP,
international News Service Special



NEW YORK, Sept. 5. Great
Britain's hope Of lifting the grand
challenge cup in the international
polo matches that start at Meadow.
brook, N. Y, tomorrow, rests in the
ability Of the British-bred ponies to
out run their American rivals. The
victory that carried the cup from
the United States to the British
Isles in 1914 was scored entirely
through the superiority Of the Eng
fish polo ponies over their Yankee
mates. In those games, which
ended most disastrously for Uncle
Sam. the ponies were slower and
positions than their rivals.
The stable of ponies the British
have brought with them to this
country is said to be the best that
ever has represented England in an
international series. Forty-six Of
the finest-trained polo ponies that
could be collected within the broad
domain Of the British empire are
ready and fit to be used by the
challengers.
The British ponies are in charge
OF Jimmy Faulkner, a seVenty.year.
old-veteran horseman. The latter is
given credit for his knowledge Of
horse flesh. 1t is said that in 1914
1t was his prediction that England
would win the series that caused
so many Britishers To back their
team in the face of what looked
like a set-up for the American four.
Faulkner based his prediction of
victory on his judgment of the
superior quality of the British
ponies over the mounts that Harry
Payne Whitney and his mates had,
Because of the soundness of the
prediction, Faulkner has been hailed
as a sage in polo circles in Europe.
His prestige as "a prophet was
strengthened in 1921, when he pre-.
dicted that lack of class among the
English ponies would cost Great
Britain the cup.

FILIPINO GIVES

Young Dencio and Little Jeff
Put On Corking Scrap
At Barracks
By r. ID. THOMAS.

Another bout, of fifteen rounds, Is
the desire of Washington fight bugs
who saw Young Dencio, the Fill,
Pine, and Little Jeff, of Baltimore,
battle ten speedy rounds at Wash
fngton Barracks. 1t was corking
scrap without a convincingly de-
cisive result.
In the early rounds, Dencio's al.
most remarkable speed made Little
jeff look slow and it appeared the
Filipino would walk away with VIC
tory. He piled up . big fead in the
second round by plastering Little
jeff to a fare-ye-well.
1t was not until the third was well
under way that the Baltimorean,
who weighed Ill pounds to Dencios
1O7, was able to get in a lick that
counted for something. 1t was a
sock on the chin that sent Dencio
to the ropes. But the tiny Islander
came back fighting and eventually
evened the round. 1t is a character.
istic of Dencio, as displayed in his
scraps around Washington, that he
fights best when stung.
At that, the third round took
away some of Dencio's speed and
appeared to get Little Jeff warmed
to his business. He outfought
Dencio-"in the fourth round and
planted a glove in the Filipino's
middle that hurt.
The fifth, sixth and seventh were
about even, Dencio having lost
much Of the lightning speed that
marked his fighting in the early
sessions. The seventh was a hum
dinger. Little jeff went out to
finish his man, but Denco showed
plenty of willingness mix it.
Both slugged give-and. take style,
and though smuggling is Little Jeff's
favorite pastime he found a worthy
playmate. Dencio proved his game
ness in this session. Knowing his
OWN handiap in weight and his op.
ponent's rep as a knocker.out, he
played a dangerous game. DenciO
dealt sock for sock and the round
was even.
Jeff continued his determined at
tack in the eighth and clearly got
the better of the round. In fact,
he evened up the battle. He gave
back to Dencio some Of the I'M
pleasant stuff Dencio made him
take in the second.
A furious assault just before the
bell gave Dencio the ninth and 4
flash of fighting won Little jeff
slight edge in the final. It was
a real battle all the way and
thoroughly pleased a large crowd.
In the semiwindup, Eddie Leon.
ard, Of Baltimore, shaded Jack
Cafoni, of Walter Reed, through
his aggressiveness. Neither hit an
nonest-to-goodness wallop in the
whole six rounds.
The best preliminary was be-
tween Vince Carbon, Fcrt Myer
midget, and frankie Neil, of Balti-
more. In the second round, Carbon
had Neil in a bad way and appar.
entity was on the way to a knock.
out victory. But he walked into
wild swing and went down.
Carbon got up thoroughly dazed.
His eyes were CLASSY, but went
mechanically back at his foe. Both
men were nearly out on their dogs.
A gamester is little Carbon. He
fights every moment from bell to
bell. His bout with Neil was a
draw.
In the opener Johnny Wagner
knocked out Kid Wagner of Balti

the fight game is his calling.
