Life has evolved far differently
from what the Schalls could dream
when first they met at the University
Of Minnesota.
Tom Schall married Margaret
IIuntlcy before he was admitted to
the bar, and she taught school for :,
year or two. Soon he began to. go
ahead as a lawyer and the future
looked bright Then one day he
leaned over to light a cigar from an
electric lighter. Some connection
was wrong, and current shot
through him and dcadcncd the optic
nerve. Everything went black.
I'll Be Your Eyes
"We are going to practice law, Tom.

Slowly they felt the way ahead, the
muscular, stocky man with the reson-
ant voice leaning helplessly upon the
slight, wiry, winsome woman. Fin
ally they got big law cases. Then
came Congress, with stirring speeches
and dramatic moments which could
be described with pride-cxcept that
this isn't Il political story.
Three children came whose faces
the father has never beheld.
"Tom probably would have been in
Congress, bat he would not be SEN
ator if he had not lost his sight"
says the woman he calls his better
three fourths.
"And he would have been elected
under different circumstances. He
had Il strain Of acquisitiveness which
+, the blindness erased. He had plan
ned to spend ten years practicing law
and then go into politics. He would
have been man of means and a reg
| ular party man. Blindness made him
Il crusader for the interests Of COM
mon folks.
! "Of course blindness seldom works
to advantage. ] think it has failed to
handicap Tom Schall because he has
better brains than the average, and
uses them, and because Of his cour-
age. l never saw him afraid"

Paavo Nurmi and Red Grange.
whose performances rank among the
greatest Of 1925, are pointed to rs
the leading examples of feverish

Nurmi, Il sensation from his first

from city to city in response to the
great demand for his running exhi-

he competed in New York, Chicago
and then here again.

to stand the pace and he finally broke

BISMARCK HIGH FL
WINS FROM BEACH

Although playing u poorer brand
Of basketball, on both the offensive
an" the defensive, than IN previous
games this season. the Bismarck
high school uuint last night defeated
the aggregation from Beach by I,
score Of % TO 9. The local cage men
lost many opportunities to add to
their score in last nights game
through poor passing and shooting
and their guarding was considerably
off color. Coach II. f. Collins plans
to put his men through stiff work
outs every afternoon during the holi-
day season and will drill them siren
uously on offensive work. Most of
his tutoring up to the present time
has been on defensive tactics.

sometime during the holidays with
an alumni team, composed Of former
Bismarck high school stars, but
there will be no more district games
until after the first of the year. The
Cakes quint is scheduled to play
here on either January Z or 8.

making an even dozen Of his TEAMS
% points. Hollenbeck was second
with eight points, Larson ana Olsoh
made two points each and Lobach's
lone counter was q free throw. AL
quire made four Of Beach's points,
Smith made three and Zielsdorf two.
The score at the end Of the half Was
8 to in Bismarck's' favor.
Collins used his second string men
in the game about half Of the time,
part in the first half and part IN the
second, but. they were unable to
score, with the exception of one bas-
ket by Larson.
Volley Ball Game
The Rotary club and high school

millionaire New York hotel owner.
charged with conspiring to defame
Mrs. Stokes. denied today in COM
pleting his testimony that he broke
with his wife as the result of his
attention to Mrs. Rita Acosta Lydig,
his first wife. He admitted, how
ever. that he had seen Mrs. Lydig
after his second marriage and that
in 1923 he gave her $4,000 SO that
she might marry the Rev. Percy
Stickney Grant.
The aged defendant also testified
that within the last two weeks he
had obtained an affidavit from a ne
gro named Chase, formerly employ
cd on his Lexington, KY, stock farm,
accusing Mrs. Stokes of indiscretions
with Earl Hinshaw, the family
chauffeur. He denied that he had
paid the negro for the information.
DR.. Maurice Rosenberg. former
house physician at the Everleigh
Club, a former notorious Chicago
night life resort. said that If I gave
him $25,OOO he would see Mrs.
Stokes. whisper something in her
ear. and she would disappear" Mr..
Stokes testified.
HE had previously told me that
Mrs. Stokes was the cause of the
murder of Marshall Field. Jr.. added
Mr.. Stokes. Further remarks were
lost in a maze Of legal wrangling.
John 2. Burke of Chicago, sleep
ing car conductor, pointed out Mrs.
Stokes in the courtroom and testi-
fed that she travelled on car of

she introduced to him as Hal Billig,
her cousin.

Yale GeOlOgist
First Witness in
Teapot Dome Trial

Cheyenne, WyO., MarCn J.-tby a.
PIX. +. Head, a geologist of
Yale University. formerly with the
government geological survey, took
the stand today as the first witness
for the government in the suit to
annul leases of the Teapot Dome oil
reserves held by tie Mammoth Oil
Company, one of the subsidiaries of
the Sinclair Oil Company.
Today's sitting was in Federal
court before Judge L. Blake Ken
nedy.
Head was sent to the Dome at
the request of Albert B. Fall, then
secretary of the interior, to deter
mine whether there was danger of
serious drainage OF the government
reserves by offsetting wells, drilled
in the adjoining Salt Creek field.
Heald's report to the geological
survey sho wed there was a danger
OF drainage on the Salt Creek side
of the reserve. but that it would be
sl,w His report also showed that
the Teapot Dome saddle a sub
surface formation which might con-
troll the direction the oil would take,
rad moved q distance of two miles
from the date of the last available
geological survey en- file in the de-
partment.
On cross examination by John w.
Lacey of Cheyenne. representing the
Mammoth Company, it was brought
out that Head had surveyed part
of the Dome not included in the re-
serve. This led to further confusion
regarding the exact location of the
saddle" and with it's location still a
debatable question. court adjourned
with Head still on the stand
The trial opened with special coun-
sci Atlee Pomerene's statement for
the government, outlining the trans
actions between Fall and Sinclair
which led to the signing of the lease
by Fall and Edwin DENLY, former
secretary of the navy. lie charged
that fraud had been practiced in the
negotiations and stressed the "secre-
cy" which the interior department un-
der the direction of Fall observed in
handling the transactions. He point
ed out that the contract did not be-
come public for several days after it
Lad been actually signed and then
only after a resolution had been in
troduced in the senate demanding
report on the disposition Of the re-
serve.
He questioned the legality Of the
presidential order which gave to the
interior department the right to ad-
minister the reserve.
After the Teapot Dome contract
had been signed the government at
torney charged. there was a meeting
held in New York attended by Sin
clair, J. E. O'Neil, then president OF
the Prairie Oil and Gas Company.
J. NJ. Blackner, president of the Mid
west Oil Company: A. E. Humphrey.
Mexia. Texas. and Denver oil man,
and II. S. Osler. president of the

was at this conference, the govern
ment contended, that Humphreys
contracted to sell 100000 barrels
of crude oil at price of $50 per bar

was guaranteed by Sinclair and o.

AMERICAN PILGRIMS
IN ROME: Received
- BY POPE Plus X|

Rome, March 9.-(By A. P)-The
climax of Americas first holy year
pilgrimage, was reached today when
Cardinal O'Connell led his flock of
nearly 500 Pilgrims from the sos
ton archdiocese into the August
presence of Pope Plus ri.
The pontiff first passed along low
after row of the kneeling Pilgrims,
holding out his hand so that each
might kiss his ring and then gave
to each q medal commemorating
holy year. Afterwards the holy
father addressed the Americans
from the throne in the consistorial
hall and bestowed upon them a
special apostolic benediction.
The Pope was dressed entirely in
white. Around his neck he wore a
large gold chain, to which was at
tached the crucifix. and about his
waist a broad sash of white bro
caded silk on the dangling ends of
which were embroidered the papal
coat-of-arms.
The Pope's remarks were preceded
by a short Introductory speech by
Cardinal O'Connell, who said it was
the purpose of the Pilgrims to re-
new the faith of the Boston arch
diocese in the unity and universally
of the holy church, whose fountain
head was holy eternal Rome" The
Cardinal called the Pilgrims Eek
emplars of our holy religion" and
