FALL-D0HENY
TRIAL To GO
AHEADMONDAV

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27
(AP)-Awaiting the deci-
sion Of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia
on an involved constitll-
tional questio n which
brought them to an i'm
passe yesterday, opposing
counsel in the Fall Doheny
oil conspiracy trial shaped
tentative plans today for a
resumption of testimony
Monday regardless of whom
the decision favOrs.
The decision by Justice Adolph A.
Hoehling on whether Edward L. Do
heny's testimony before the senate oil
investigating committee in 1923-24 is
permissible to go before the jury may
Influence the line of attack mapped
out by the government counsel al the
outset
The nub of te senate testimony in
the initial plans of the government
counsel was the oil mans voluntary
account of a 100000 cash transaction
between himself and Albert B. Fall.
co-defendant. in November, 1921, while
Fall still was secretary of the interior.
Defense resisted introduction Of the
senate record before the jury on the
ground that the action would consti-
tute compulsory testimony by de-
fendant at his own trial, In contraven-
tion of the fifth amendment of the
constitution. While exclusion of the
testimony would represent victory
for the defense, there would still re-
main several possible approaches TO
presentation of the same subject mat
ter.
Following a lead provided in the
senate inquiry, the government coun-
sci have summonded for present trial
the clerk of the committee, in whose
custody reposes the 100000 note that
Fall gave Doheny in November, 1921.
Under a possible shift in the prose-
cution plans, predicated upon the ex-
clusion of the senate testimony, this
note would be presented in evidence
through the examination of hte COM
mittee clerk who, not being a defend
ant, is subject to call by the govern
ment.
Doheny testified before the senate
committee that the 100000 transac-
ton for which the note was given had
no, connection whatever with inegotia-
tions then in progress for leasing the
Elk Hills naval oil reserves to Do
heny's Pan American Petroleum and
Transport company. He also told the
committee that because Fall was an
old friend, he tore the signature from
the note and handed it to his wife.
Mrs. Doheny is under subpoena, as are
former employees of the interior depart
ment familiar with the handwriting of
the former secretary. This list of wit
nesses is augmented by several New
York bankers who, in the usual course
of banking business, figured in with
drawal by Doheny's son of 100000 in
cash about the time the Fall note was
drawn.
The government began with the plan
of following a short cut to the $780,
600 transaction by way of the senate
record of Doheny's testimony, but
should Justice Hoehling's ruling close
that door they still have an alternative
route, they believe to the same OBJ
jective.
In argument against the reading of
the senate record, defense counsel sug-
gested that the submission Of Doheny's
own testimony in a criminal trial
might furnish grounds for an appeal to
the supreme court of the United States,

BOOKLET FOR.
ADVERTISING.
IS FINE.

With the third advertise
ment of the Borderland
Climate clubs series of
advertisements in nation
ally circulated magazines in
the hands Of thousands of
readers throughout the
United States, inquiries are
continuing to come into the.
office of the club in such
numbers as to make it diff
ficult to keep pace with
the volume of correspond
ence which the publicity
campaign has br,ou gh t.
about.
At the Borderland Climate clubs.
Saturday it was learned
that the total number of inquiries
received during the three weeks since
now swelled to 334.
Nearly zoo inquiries were received
ass a result OF the advertisements
before the Borderland Climate clubs
descriptive booklet was off the press
and it is now necessary to write q
second letter to each of this original
of interested persons, en-
closing the booklet and furnishing
additional information.
The 80 page booklet, of which
1000 copies have been received, was
prepared by J. w. Tardy, president
of the Borderland Climate club, and
is declared by those who have seen it
to be the most attractive booklet of
its sort published in the southwest.
The front cover of the book, de-
ricting a Spanish serenader, and the
back cover, the well known desert
scene photographed by M. +. Irwin,
local photographer and known under
the captain, desert in Bloom" make
an instant appeal, and the large
OF local scenes with which
the book is profusely illustrated
should prove a big factor in bringing
many tourists and neW residents to
the city.
Directors of the Borderland Climate
club, the Douglas Chamber of Com
merce and Mines and many business
men of the city after inspecting the
booklet were high in their praise of
Tardy's efforts, for it is felt that the
local booster in his selection of pic
lures and reading matter has struck
upon just the proper psychological
appeal to intrigue the interest of
persons contemplating trip to the
west or change of residence.
Street scenes in Douglas and Aqua
Prieta, mining and smelter scenes,
views of the local golf course and
the Douglas Country club in mid
winter, views of many of the nearby
spot of scenic attraction and many
other attractive pictures are arranged
in interesting manner throughout the
book and statistical data on the
Douglas climate as compared with
the climate in other sections of the
and southwest and other
we'll prepared. reading matter add to
the interest of the book.
An interesting feature of the book
let is seen in two photographs of a
well known Douglas citizen who is
now one of the city's most ardent
boosters. One picture was taken

N. Y. COMMISSION TO
MAKE TUNNEY FIGHT
In SIX MONTHS, CLAIM

NEW YORK, Oct. &c (P-Tex Rick
ards plans for heavyweight cham
rionship fight next September once
more have come into conflict with
the rules of the New York state ath-
letic commission.
James A. Farley, chairman of the
board, whose support of the chal.
1enge of Harry Wills, led to the
shifting of the Dempsey -Tunney bat.
tie to Philadelphia, today said the
six months period within which all
champions are required by the New
York regulations to defend their
crowns, would apply to Tunney the
same as it mad to Dempsey and all
other titleholders. TO comply with
this rule, Gene would have to sign
for a champ :onslip match before
next April. Thus far there is only
one application for a title fight be-
fore the commission. This came from
Jack Sharkey of Boston, who re.
Gently won decisively over Wills.
Rickard considers Dempsey as Tun
ney's logical rival. He has announc-
cd his plans to continue an eiimina-
tion heavyweight series at the gar
den with Paolino, Person, Maloney,
Sharkey and Delaney to fight it out.
He then proposes to pit the winner
against Dempsey in an early outdoor
fight, with the survivor to battle
Tunney next September.

MULE TO STALK
INTO NEW HAVEN WITH
VICTORY UP, SATURDAY

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 tP}-The Army
Mule stalks into the bowl at New
victory over Yale team in 15 years.
Not since 1911, have flying WesN
Haven on Saturday scenttng Its first
Point hoofs left the imprint of a
defeat on the flanks of the Bulldog.
Twice since then, however, Army
has drawn off with honors even, the
records showing tie games i'll 1922
and 1924.
Yale's defeat by Brown and Army's
string of four successive victories
supply the basis upon which critics
have installed the Cadet team as a
favorite, yet no excess of confidence
has been reported at West Point, for
a parallel condition prevailed last
year. Army, with a powerful ma,
chine that had swept aside Notre
Dame met Yale two weeks before the
Eli eleven had been stampcded by
Pennsylvania.
The Soldier team was a heavy
favorite, but was completely routed
by Tad Jones brilliant backs, 28-7.
Traditional foes will grapple in at
least four other outstanding games,
with Brown primed to turn the tables
on Dartmouth after six straight de-
feats. New York university, smoth-
cred by Fordham in 1924, and 1925,
saw a similar opportunity in it's game
here against the Maroon.
Records indicate that Brown al
ways has proven a. Troublesome, foe
for Dartmouth. fx
Five straight victories have fallen
to Browns brilliant offensive this
season, with last weeks triumph over
Yale at 60 standing out as the teams
greatest achievement. -
Two other battles between rival of
long standing pit Washington and JEFF

this year, but records Indicate La.

Harry Hartz to Be Awarded
.A.A.A.Racing Championship
Especial to The Dispatch)

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-It is certain
that Harry Hartz,. internationally
known A. A. A. race driver who has
had more looks at the promised land
than Moses ever had is to descend into
the valley which flows with milk and
honey.
Harry, who has been the most con-
sistent, performer in American Auto
mobile association racing circles for
four years, but who has never won
Three championship, got what the
wrestlers term a strangle hold on the
top of the ladder in the series of races
at the Salem, N. H., mile and quarter
board track on October IL. He won
the big event, 20Q-mile race, and took
second in two 25-mile events. This is
Ian old story now to racing enthusiasts
but the official standing of the drivers
issued today by the contest board, A..
A. A, gives certainty to what had here
tofore been only a guess.
Hartz's point total is now 27S9, and
should he fail to place in the remain
ing race programs at Charlotte and at
Los Angeles, and Lockhart win both,
Hartz would lead by So points
Frank Lockhart, Los Angeles motor
meteor who came flaming out of the
west in this, his first year of big
league competition, may still finish
second in the championship, if he can
maintain his 3O5 point lead over Peter
DePao1o, the 1925 champion driver. It
is almost safe to hazard guess that
the finish for this year will be Hartz,
Lockhart and DePaolo for the first
three places.
The year coming to a close has seen
no walkaways by first line drivers
they have had to fight their way as|
the marines did at Belleau Woods, inch

COLORADO SPORTDOM
ALL AGOG OVER THE
SATURDAY CONTESTS

DENVER, Oct 26 tP)--Quite aside
from the commotion going up about
the big Utah Colorado Aggie game
Saturday at Salt Lake city. but
nevertheless, none the less important
from the University Of Colorado
viewpoint. is the question OF what
Coach Myron Witham's Silver and
Gold team viii DO against Colorado
college Saturday at Colorado Springs.
Town in the Tiger jungle Bully
Van De Graaff is plotting to ado
insult to injury by further knocking
the Boulder team into the scrap heap
for keeps.
c. U. has made the worst start il
and all Boulder is of the. opinion
that the pendulum must swing the
other way, and at the expense of
the Tigers.
Van De Graaf is keenly disappoinr
ed at the showing of his team. A
great star himself at Alabama ana
West Point, Van De Graaf has work
ed incessantly to developed a win
ming team. Tiger supporters are not
down cast over the teams showing
and believe the home coming game
will prove the worth of Van De
Graaf's efforts.
Utah university showed Colorado
under, chiefly by the great work OF
the Ute line. Taufer ana Morris, thu
Indian ends. played great part in
the humiliation of the Silver and
Gold. Adopting rushing game, the
Ute wingmen smothered COLORADO
plays before they were started, hur-
ried passes and harrassed States
punters. Colorado college does not
boast ends Of the Taufer- Morris type,
but the Tigers do have some very
fine linemen, among them Captain
Jorry, Leggett and Cecil, and the
c. C. scouts recorded mahy notes al
Boulder last week that win be help,
@ful.
colorado faces the problem Of de-
Eyeloping an offense. Captain Bohn
was the only man who stood out fol
Colorado last week. Rohn backed
up his line well and was the only
hack who was able to gain at all.
fE1ut next Saturday will be another
day, and the weak and Intellectual
state eleven that blundered ana
floundered against Utah may assume
rev life at Colorado Springs. Me-
Clone and Waite, who were smothered
under the Crimson tide at Boulder
may return to the form that mas
made them feared in other years. At
least that is the hope of the Colorado
student body.
Colorado college has not beaten a
Witham, team since 1922. Since these
schools began football hostilities In
$780, State has won II games to the
Tigers II and has rolled up 400 points
to G. Cts $50. Saturdays clash will
mark the formal dedication of the
new Colorado college stadium. The
stands will seat more than 5000 per-
sons and arrangements are being
made to have capacity attendance.

The theft of small quantity of ci-
gars and tobacco from the Douglas
cigar stand at 11OS G avenue was re-

DANTE AVENUE IS CHICAGO STREET
6OO,OQO People Visit Place in
 One Week

Chicago, Aug. 25 tP)-Dante Ave nue, modest little residence street, suddenly is becoming one of the most widely known places in Chicago.
 It is estimated that 600,000 per sons have recently thronged there in less than a week. The reason for all this is a Chicago monastery that in striking manner recalls the great poet Dante himself.
 Silent Crowds
 Dante's own answer given to friars questioning him as to what he sought when, in exile, he visited Santa Croce monastery in the Riviera is also given as the key to the presence at times of endless crowds in Dante avenue. Chicago. Fra llario, friar of Santa Croce Monastery, has left the Santa Croce record in these words:
 Moved either by the religion of the place or by some other feeling, he stood silently contemplating the columns and arches of the cloister. And again I asked him what he wished and whom he sought. Then, slowly turning his head, and look ing at the friars and at me, he an- swered: Peace T.
 Shrine to St. Therese
 The white cloaked friars of the Carmelite monastery in Dante ave- nue, Chicago, have no other explain alton for the silent crowds that come to Dante avenue-"moved either by the religion of the place or by some other feeling" It is in this monastery of the Chicago Carmelite friars that some years ago the principal American shrine was established for the recently canonized Carmelite nun, St. Ther- ese of Liseaux, known as the Lit tle Flower of Jesus" Of late. the increasing crowds of visitors have made necessary a removal of athe shrine from the monastery to the neighboring Carmelite church of St. Clara.
 Dante avenue, where the Chica- go Carmelite monastery is situated was originally known as Star street. General alphabetical encouragement of Chicago street names resulted in the change to Dante avenue. A singular coincidence is that each of the parts of Dante's masterpiece, the Divina Commedia, ends with the word stars The last words of the poem are: By the love im- pelled that moves the sun in heaven and all the stars"

 Commissioner Noonan had to go into the subject of horse flies and he was told that they often bite and in- lection often followed the bites. Wood worked close by a stable and was annoyed by the flies and was frequently chased off his work by a cloud of such flies. The commis- sioner found that Wood sustained a personal injury within meaning of the law and made the award. The company contested the claim.

OLD SLAV CITY IS I GAMBLERS HAVEN
SaSuSa Is the Monte Carlo of
 DalaInatia

Ragusa, Dalmatia, Aug. 27 LP}- Ragusa has come to be known as the Monte Carlo of Dalamatia."
 A great gambling resort has been opened in this "Slavonic Athens" 1" as the native Ragusans call it., which attracts throngs of visitors from all parts of Southeastern Europe. It Is a favorite place for Americans emerging from the Balk- an countries by way of the sea.
 Several new hotels have been built and the old Ragusan metropo- lis, where King Richard, Occur de Lion, is said to have taken refuge ill storm while returning from Palestine, has been beautified in other respects so as to attract visitors.
 Retains Ancient Air
 Ragusa is situated on one of the finest land-locked harbors in Europe, and has a mild climate throughout the year.
 Embowered in hanging gardens, great palms, aloes, cacti and oleanders, and garlanded with all kinds of tropical flowers, it is one of the prettiest spots on the Adri- atic Sea. Its picturesque old walls. dating from the days of the Vene- tians, are still intact, and many ex- auisite gems of architecture re- main as memorials of the days when Ragusa was a proud republic. The Old World atmosphere, the quaint, narrow streets, paved with huge square slabs. and the flocks of fluttering pigeons, remind one of an ancient Italian city.
 Like ancient Rome, Ragusa be- gan life as an asylum. It was at first a rock of refuge for the survivors Of the wrecks of Roman coast cities of Dalmatia. For many cen- turies it was a flourishing republic until 1S06. when Napoleon seized it and proclaimed the city-state at an end. Its citizens today are Dalma- tlans, Croatians, Serbs, Italians and Austrians, most of whom by dint of hard work and thrift have become prosperous tradesmen.
