PR0SECUT|0NRfS IN SINCLAIR CASE
Conspiracy Case Goes Over Un-
 til Monday Morning
JUDGE NOW CELEBRATING
Considers Allowing Evidence Con terning 125,0OO Sinclair Gave Fall For Trip to Russia-Counsel Ob- jects to Its Admission,

Washington, April Is P) - Blocked. temporarily at least, from going into two lines of evidence it had offered, the government tenta- lively rested it's case today against Harry F. Sinclair.
 The evidence which Owen J. Rob- crts wanted to put into the record concerned the $25,O ,Ooo Sinclair hand ed over to Albert E. Fall for trip to Russia made by the former cabi- net officer and the transaction be- tween Fall and F.. l.. Doheny, Sr., lessee of the Elk Hills naval oil re- serve.
 Littlcton Objects
 Martin w. Littleton, for Sinclair objected, on the grounds that this evidence was not germane, and Jus tice Bailey took the question under adviscment until Monday morning, and adjourned court over the week end.
 Coincident with the adjournment of court. the bribery charges against E. l.. Doheny, Jr.. who carried $100,- coo in little black bag to Fall. were nolle pressed on motion of the gov- ernment. Roberts hopes to call Doheny as witness if the court rules for him.
 The evidence on the $25, 5,000 loan to Fall. who leased Teapot Dome to Sinclair was through J. F. Denton vice-president of the First National bank at Fl Paso, Texas. He identi- fled letters received at the bank in June. 1923. and the defense protest ed that they were written long after the date of the changes against Sim clair.
 Roberts said he wanted 10 show that Fall tried to conceal the trans action. Justice Bailey said that at this time he was inclined to rule for the defense.
 Under stipulation Roberts today read the testimony of Harry M. Daugherty. attorney general in the Harding cabinet. which was given in the Fall-Sinclair trial. In that tes- timony Daugherty said he had not been asked about the Teapot Dome lease to Sinclair and had never rem dered an opinion on it.
 If the government is permitted to present its evidence Monday. Rob- erts said he would require less than ,,Hp the objections 1t will keep out of evidence testimony intended to show the frame of mind and procedure of Fall.
 The defense will not make a mo- ton for a directed verdict or dis missal of the charges against Sin

CITIES INDIGNANT
 AT HALLS CHARGE Deny Owing State St5,00o in
 Fines Against Drivers LOCAL DEBT IS NOMINAL
'icrk Danberg Says New Britain Owes Only Money Not Col.cted- Hartford and New London Say Books Are Clean.

Einli J. Danberg, clerk Of the po- nee court in this city, stated today that there is no question that the state of Connecticut was owed money by the city on fines placed on offend Srs of the automobile laws, but the amount is q nominal one.
 Claims of Edward r. Hall. state commissioner of finance and control. that more than s15,0o0 is due the state from motor vehicle violation fines collected by the clerks of the courts in several cities in the state and not renitted to the state treas ury. were partially denied by Clerk Danberg. MT. Hall claimed that the clerks of courts in Middletown, Hart ford, New Britain and New London were delinquent in paying the fines thus levied in the police courts.
 Clerk Danberg explained that there are two instances where fines not collected immediately. are not paid to the state immediately after the cases have been tried and judgment has been reached. One, he sad. was where a man was fined in court and also sentenced to jail While serving his sentence, the con- victed person either worked out his fine or paid it to the jailer and this money was sent to the city of New Britain direct less five per cent com mission for collection by the jailer.
 The other was in cases where the probation officer was collecting the lines. No accounting of this money is made until the fines are collected in full and sometimes all of the fines are never collected due to the fact that the judge may deem that the person fined has been sufficiently punished and persons SO fined may have skipped without settling up.
 He and Edward c. Connolly. pro- lation officer. spent some time in figuring out what the city owed to the state in this matter and complete adjustment was made up tp JdIludIy pl tilt pteStHt year III all cases where the fines had been collected.
 Some fines from cases last year have not yet been paid in full" Nid Mir. Danberg "and as we have no guarantee that they will be paid. we will not make an accounting until they are paid. Stories to the effect that this city owes a great deal of money to the state treasury. are not true. I suppose that every other court in the state has followed the same course as we have. This city owes to the state only what money has not yet been collected"

AGED RANCHMAN' RICH
Oil on Land Man Could Not Sell Makes Him
 Wealthy Now

SAN ANGELO, Tex, March 3. The wolf of want that had pursued Ira c. Yates. aged ranch man. since he was a lad of 12, seemed very close last fall when Yates tried to sell his ranch at B an acre-and failed.
 A mortgage of $90.000 hung over the property of the 76-year- ,ld ranch owner and he had hoped to meet this by selling his 26.000 acres and his cattle.
 And now. the land that Ira Yatest could not sell has made him millionaire. Engineers say that there are 275,0O0,0OO bar rels of oil under 10000 acres.
 Yates liquidated the debt that had loomed so large merely by leasing small part of his real estate to an oil company. Then he sat back and let the oil com panies bid against each other for the drilling rights on the rest of the land-no longer the Yates ranch, but now the Yates oil field.
 Cattle and sheep no longer roam over the mesas and through the ravines, for the old ranch man fears that an oil derrick might fall and kill some of the animals.
 But he is a ranchman still. He has bought a ranch of 23,000 acres in Central Texas and nov ed his herds there. There is no mortgage over the new ranch, and he hopes that he never may )e compelled to offer his property 1t S3 an acre.
 creditors used to be after me for money" said Yates as he unused on the changes that have occurred Now lot of people try to get money from me, but t's a different sort of demand. y This is the first time, he add sd, that he has been ahead of the wolf since he was left an orphan at the age of 12.

In this age. when thoughtful people are alarmed over the law lessness of youth. parents ought to face their responsibility, and lay a foundation for obedience 10 law. This should be done while the children are most responsive
 Little children love the voices of their parents. from whom they receive love and kindness and 10 whom they turn for the supply of their every need. They are ma turally quick to come at their parents call and to do their bid- ding. They love approving smiles and words. It is very important that parents retain this Quickness of response and willingness to obey. Of course, commands should always be kindly, and : there should not be so many that there is not time to see that they are obeyed Fathers and mothers should require that their very lit. tie children obey without ques- 1, tion. The child of six months to. two years or even three is scarce. ly able to reason why he should or should not obey No thinking parent would permit his child to , go out-of-doors in zero weather without being properly dressed, no matter how much the child cried or begged to do so The same wisdom should govern all commands and pernissions given : by parents The yonng child is Incapable of oidiag the best things for himself, so he should be taught the habit 8f unquestion- ing obedience durii these early years. This habit becomes the foundation for obedience 10 school laws. to community laws and to state and national law.
 As children get old enough to understand, the reasons for com mands and for requiring obedl- ence to them should be pointed ! out. This will help the children to appreciate their parents thought for them. Then. as soon as the child is able 10 rely some what upon himself. the wise par. ents will give him opportunities ito make decisions. and accept the responsibility for his acts. This change from reliance on parents and their judgment to reliance upon himself must be made yer, gradually. However, the sooner control by parents can be changed to seIf-control by the child, the better 1t will be for the child The child should be given more and

Oil Town Disappears As Fields Cut Output

CHARDON, Ohio, Marcn B. Stolid oxen will plod through Chardon's streets April 13 and IA Wood fires will send haze of blue smoke to canopy the pub lie square, and the little Ohio towns will take on the appear ance of a sugar-making camp of a century ago.
 For the third time, Chardon, center of Ohio's maple sugar in- dustry which brings $5OO,000 an- nually to farmers, invites the world to come to the event and see how maple sugar is made now and how it has been made through the years.
 Fifteen thousand persons from 22 States and England fiocked here last year. Every visitor is given dish of warm maple syrup as it comes from the pot.
 Trees will be tapped in the public square across from the town hall. In one corner of the park methods used 75 years ago will be demonstrated, while in another section, a modern sugar house equipped with evaporators will out-distance the production of the old iron kettle.
 An oxen team will drag a stone boat with large vat on it to gather the sap from the trees as the forefathers did. The iron kettles weigh several hun dred pounds.
 Arthur B. Carlson, local mer- chant who conceived the idea of the fair, said it has resulted in checking destruction of the States maple forests, as more farmers turn to sugar making.

wider opportunities for self cen trol as he grows in ability to think and reason. The wise par ent. keeping in the background. will make the child feel his free dom to choose while at the same time giving him assurances that he has a friend who will help hi:n if he makes a mistake.
 As children grow older, un' ss parental control has gradually grown into self-control, there is certain to be trouble in the home. When they can think for t,lell. selves and sense their phy sieal ability to do things, they c1a not be forced to obey without disss- trous results. The child who is capable of thinking and acting for himself and is forced to o5ey against his will. is apt to become a rebel, disobodient, at every ap- portunity. to parents, to school duthOl illtS anu lO iit idN ol iIt country On the other hand. the child who has a yielding disposi- ton and is forced to obey is harmed in another way; his will grows weaker and weaker, and he becomes man dependent up on others for his decisions
 The happy solution then seems to be: to require unquestioning obedience from the very young child, establishing habit and at titude of respect for and obedi- ence to authority; to explain pur. poses for commands and for re- quiring obedience to them as fast as reason and understanding are deveioped; to change parental control to self-csntrol, gradually. as the child beaemea capable Of assuming responsibility for his conduct, wisely assisting. guiding and supporting him in constantly lessening degree.
