Appeals to Court in Oil In
quiry-Witness Pleaded
Constitutional Rights.
ARGUMENTS ON ISSUE
TO BE HEARD FRIDAY
Inquisitors' Report Discloses That
Action Is Directed Solely
Against Fall.

Refusal of Edward L. Doheny, jr
Of Los Angeles, son Of the oil mag
nate, to testify last Tuesday before
the additional grand jury which is
inQuiring into alleged criminal ac-
tions Of Albert B. Fall, former Sec
rotary Of the Interior, was certified
to the District Supreme Court today
by Gratz L. Dunkum, foreman. Fore
man Dunkum, with the other mem
bers of the grand jury, accompanied
by United States Attorney Gordon and
Attorneys Pomerene and Roberts,
special counsel in the oil cases, filed
into Criminal Division 1, at the
opening of court, and presented to
Justice William Hitz a petition for
rule against Mr.. Doheny to show
cause why he should not be COM
PEELED to testify.
Attorney Frank ]. Hogan appeared
for young Doheny and told the court
his client was acting under his di-
rections In claiming his constitu-
tional right not to be obliged to bear
witness against himself. Mr. Hogan
pointed out that the witness had ex-
planned to the grand jury that, while
neither he nor his' father, nor the
company in which they are interested
had been guilty of any crime yet
statements made by his father had
been used as a basis of proceedings
against him, and the son feared that
similar use might be made of his
statements. He therefore contended
the answers requested might tend to
incriminate him.
Argue Case Next Friday.
Mr.. Hogan told the court that from
the report of the grand jury itself
it was patent that no rule should be
issued, but if the court desired to
hear argument he would be prepared
at the time set by the court. Counsel
then agreed to argue the matter next
Friday. Justice Hitz cited young Do
heny to appear at that time and show
cause why he should not answer the
questions.
The report Of the grand jury today
discloses for the first time that the
inquiry in progress before it is aimed
solely against former Secretary Fall
The object OF the inquiry has hereto
fore been safely guarded
The report of the grand jury sub
mitted to Justice Hitz reads:
The grand jurors of the United
SlatcS OL AmcIlCdf III anu LOT the
District of Columbia, certify the fol-
lowing facts to this honorable court:
Probing Falls Acts.
81. On Tuesday, May 9Th, 1924, in
the District aforesaid, the grand jury
aforesaid, were considering, among
other things, offenses alleged to have
been committed within the District
aforesaid by Alfred B. Fall, for the
violation of several sections of the
Criminal Code of the United States,
and duly and regularly laid before
them for investigation.

King Saves Time
By Signing Rum
Pact INFORMALLY

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 9.-The kings
signature to the Anglo-American
rum-running treaty came to be
affixed in an unusual way, says
the Daily Sketch. The treaty had
been lying on the table in the
House Of Commons for more than
six weeks without any question
being raised concerning it, and
Premier Macdonald thought that
was long enough, according to the
Sketch. Therefore, to avoid
further delay he took the treaty
to the king, told him all about it
and suggested that he sign it
there and then. The king COM
piled.
This novel procedure, the paper
says, meant saving of several days
time.

CITY HEADS O. X. BILL
TO iMPOUND AUTOS
Approve Measure Designed to
Remedy Continued Parking
Rule Violations.

A bill to impound automobiles in
violations of parking regulations re-
ceived approval of the District Com
The bill provides that after i'm
poundment the motor vehicles may
be redeemed upon payment Of the
fine imposed.
The Commi drafted letter
to Chairman Reed Of the District
committee of the House stating their
opinion that IL power is given them
to revoke operators permits when
ever in their opinion continuance of
the permit would become a menace to
public safety the parking situation
would be solved. In addition, tow-
ever, the Commissioners stated that
"in order to cope successfully with
the parking situation as it now ex-
lists in the congested section they
believe that the power given in the
proposed legislation will be greatly
beneficial.
Suggest Change I'm BnI.
The Commissioners, however, sug-
gested amendment of the Mcleod bill,
as the impounding legislation is
known, to include Sunday as well as
week days in the operation of the
law. The police department works
Sunday as well as any other day, they
say, and a violation on week days
should be violation on Sunday also.
Another amendment suggested is that
in case a person is found guilty under
this bill nothing contained in the bill
shall prevent tho trial judge from i'm
posing a fine for such violation as
now provided. Other minor adjust
ments of the verbiage and provisions
of the bill are suggested One of
them is that all moneys derived from
impounding automobiles be paid
weekly to the collector. OF taxes to be
converted into the Treasury.

MACDONALD IS READY
TO TALK TO POiNCARE
Hy the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 9.-Prime Minister
Macdonald Is ready to meet Premier
Poincare as soon as the French cleo
tion is out of the way to discuss plans
for making the Dawes reparaticn pro-
posal effective.
It became known today that Mr..
Macdonald is willing to go to Paris
or to entertain Premier Poincare at
Cheduers Court, for tic Labor premier
believes that conversation with the
French minister, sucIi as he had last
week with M Theunis of Belgium, is
necessary before a full allied con-
ference can be held. 1t is believed
here that Brussels will probably be
selected for this allied conference,
ina.smuch as a similar meeting which
was to have been held there was
dropped when the French occupied
the Ruhr.

Mother Earth's Permanent Ware.
Causing Climate Changes, Found

There is a large wave, in slow mo-

according to Mr.. Mann. 1t moves
around the planet once every $500

and giving rise to changes in climate.
The wave causes the terrestrial
crust to~pulsate, which accounts for
raised and sunken land surfaces. The
velocity, direction and amplitude of
the wave have been ascertained.

RALPH THOMAS CLIFTON.

It is with unavailing regret that 1 am
writing the obituary of Ralph Thomas
Clifton, the youngest son of Thomas and
Anna Clifton, whose passing came as a
shock, after a lingering illness when
hope had long been extinguished. How
much keener, it is in case like this when
one in the mornin of gmanhood, and in
the flush of health is suddenly removed
from the activities of life. 1t has been well
said that death loves shining mark
and this instance helps prove the truth of
this statement, for Ralph was young
man whose possibilities for usefulness in
in the villaeg of Bagley, where he obtained
a public school education and later in the
year 1920 graduated from the Michigan
State Auto school. He worked at Brodhead,
Wis., until November, 1920, when he was
taken i'll and compelled to refrain from any
activities and patient sufferer for
a period of II months. When he had sufff-
GENTLY regained his strength, he again re-
sumed his vocation a mechanic. In
August, 1922, he went to Chicago and found
employment with the Austin Motor Co.
While he was deeply interested in his cal
ling he did not confne his attention to
it alone but kept in touch with things
going on in the world around him, and
was able to converse intelligently upon
any subject He was especially fond of the
national game of base ball of which he
was an ardent admirer In his relation to
his brothers and immediate family MEM
bers he was courtesy itself. His consider
unobstrusive were ever present, as to make
his loss unbearable. He was a member OF
the Modern Woodmen of America and was
loved and I respected not alone by those
