2. Former Secretary Fall had no au-

without public sale.
3. Proceeds derived from the lease
were not placed In the treasury. as
the law provides, but went for devel-
opment of the Navy Department.
Caraway also charged the lease was
entered into ''corruptly."
Somewhere in connection with
that lease, 100000 came into posses.

OBrien delved into piles Of oil
stained rags, papers. trash and
rubbish. One nailed door, pried open,
revealed the floor strewn with empty
bottles
The Official Cellar?
Guess some official kept his cellar
here" said O'Brien.
What's behind that door?" he
asked the custodian.
"Oh. that's just a closet with some
old rubbish and some junk in it."
Just what l want to see," he said.
Another door hid q huge pile of
broken chairs and lumber, with four
large wooden wheels.
Must be the wheels off Ben Hur's
chariot" commented the chief. "All
this must be cleaned out"
A carpenter shop revealed quanti-
ties Of oils, paint and naptha scattered
close to a pile OF paper and wood. The
chief said he would recommend the
room be cleaned, and such work done
at the county yards. Commissioners
said they have been considering the
possibility of cleaning the east end of
the fourth floor as a place for Juve-
nile Court, to relieve space congestion
in the basement.

Albert II. Losche, county clerk, said
his records, stored on the fourth floor,
date back to 1922. and If they were
burned it would be "billion-dollar
