how he removed one of his two pairs

he slipped out of his cell into the

Arrested as VagrAnt.
Dave. by the way, had been arrested
several days ago at Union Station on
a vagrancy charge, and, although
found in possession of a gold watch
and numerous articles of jewelry, was
released on probation because of lack
of evidence against him. He later sold
some of the jewelry to an empioye of
the police department.
Motorcycle Policeman Leo Murray
noted whisky whiffer of the ninth
precinct, arrested Dave the second
time, when he saw him lettering
around a vacant house, with a-num-
ber of slashed suitcases about him.
All in all, the police are convinced
that Dave isn't the dummy he would
have them believe he Is.

TEAPOT DOME FATE
IN HANDS OF JUDGE
Government Oil Land Suit
Hinges on Technical
Points Before Court.
By the Associat ted Press.

tHe AbSOCldteu frebs
CHEYENNE; Wyo., March 27.-Pos-
session of Teapot Dome hinged on
legal points today and rested in the
discretion of Federal Judge T. Blake
Kennedy, before whom the lease an
nullment suit of the Government
against Harry F. Sinclair's Mammoth
Oil Co. was completed yesterday.
The decision of Judge Kennedy will
determine whether Sinclair obtaine
the lease on the Wyoming naval oil
reserveas a result of conspiracy and
fraud, as the Government alleged, or
whether the Mammoth Oil Co. obtain
ed the grant because 1t submitted the
best bid and because the Government
was forced by an act of Congress to
develop the oil field, as the defense
contended.
At least 80 days will elapse before
Judge Kennedy will have all the
documents of the case in his hands,
and until then he probably will not
make a decision.
The case ended yesterday after
Owen J. Roberts of Government coun-
sci presented his final argument to
the court. Mr.. Roberts contended
that the act of June 4, 1920, under
which the leasing of the oil reserves
authority to the Secretary of the Navy
TO lease and develop the field, as the
lease to Sinclair permitted.
Mr.. Sinclair and his party left here
last night for New York. Mr.. Roberts
and Atlee Pomerene, the Government s
special attorneys, also left late last
night for their homes.

NEW YORK. March 27.-Although

Hale, former Yale all-Amercan foot
ball star, has invented a kite which
he is demonstrating here today. Since
the tragedy which darkened the world
for him he has brought happiness to
hundreds Of children through the
toys he has learned to fashion.
It was in 1899 and 1900 that Mr..
Hale reached the goal of all foot ball
players when ne was picked for the
all-American foot ball team. When
he left Yale he started in his chosen
profession of civil engineering.
On his 35th birthday a2 explosion
of chemicals with which he was ex-
perimenting blinded him. He was
sent to the Hospital for the Blind at
Evergreen, Md, where he learned
the toymakeTs art.
There, also, he met Mrs. Anne
Geary, hostess of the blind institute,
and just before he left they were
married. Subsequently he set up a
toy shop, at which most of the work
men were, like himself, blind.
Recently he applied his technical
training to the creation of new toys
and invented his kite which he
claims will fly higher and with less
