SENATORS DISCUSS
BLEASE POLICE MOVE
Committee to Decide on Proposal
to Investigate Events in
D. C. Department.

The Senate committee on audit and
control is meeting this afternoon to
decide what action should be taken on
the resolution of Senator BleaSe, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, which seeks to
have the Senate District committee in
vestigate recent events in the Police
Department and district attorneys
Office.
Senator Deneen of Illinois, chairman
of the audit and control committee,
said he would try to have meeting at
8 o'clock this afternoon, and if that
could not be arranged, meeting would
be held tomorrow morning. One Of the
questions which the resolution would
require the District committee to in
vestigate is the suspension of Police
man Robert j. Allen, who started an
independent investigation into the Nc
Pherson case several weeks ago. Allen
since has been restored to duty by the
Commissioners.
Senator Deneen will report to the
Senate soon after the meeting whatever
recommendations his committee makes
on the Blease resolution.

ILLNESS OF FALL
HALTS BR|BE TRIAL
Condition of 68-Year-0Id De-
fendant Alarms His
Physician.

An alarming turn in the condition of
Albert B. Fall, reported on the verge
of pneumonia or pleurisy, brought about
a halt today in the bribery trial of the
former Secretary of the Interior.
Bed-ridden since his collapse in
court yesterday afternoon, the 68-year-
old defendant was said this morning to
be in such a precarious condition that
his physician refused to accept respon-
Sibility for the Temperance in court.
When Justice William Hitz ordered
recess until tomorrow morning, in view
of the unavoidable absence of the sick
man, opposing counsel joined in ex-
pressing an opinion that unless Mr..
Fall improves within the next few
days, the jury would be excused and
the trial stopped.
Halt Not Unexpected.
Frank j. Hogan, chief counsel for
the former cabinet officer, who is
from Edward L. Doheny in connection
with naval oil leasing, announced at
the opening of court that his client
would be unable to appear at today's
session. After consultation with coun-
sci on both sides. Justice HitZ took
matters in his own hands and an
nounced that he would ask DR.. Sterling
Ruffin of Washington to make dag
nosis of the defendants condition and
report back to the court tomorrow
morning.
The temporary halt in the proceedings
was not unexpected as Mr.. Fall suffered
a relapse from an earlier bronchial at
tack while in court yesterday and had
to be carried from the room. His coll
lapse was brought about by hemorr-
hage of the lungs.
In his statement to the court today,
Mr.. Hogan said that his clients con-
dition was such that his physician,
Dr. H. T. Stafford of FL Paso, Tex,
feared to allow him to leave his bed
Mr.. Falls temperature was reported to
be slightly over 100 degrees, his pulse
quicker and he was still coughing
blood. DR.. Stafford, the court was in
formed, was perfectly willing that an
other physician be called upon to cor
roberate his diagnosis of his patients
condition.
The jury of four women and eight
men, who had been locked up over
night, looked with surprise and con-
Germ in court at the empty chair of
the defendant, the big upholstered
arm chair specially provided for him
owing to his weakened condition. They
left the courthouse wondering as others
did, whether Mr.. Fall ever would make
another appearance in court.
Mark B. Thompson, life long friend
of the FORMER cabinet officer and one
Of his attorneys, appeared much de-
pressed over Mr.. Falls condition. He
recalled a former statement made by
Fall last year, to the effort that he

CANADA MAY BAR
RUM CLEARANCES
Liquor Shipments to U. S. Are
Expected to Be Denied
Customs Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, October 9.-Refusal of
customs clearances for liquor shipments
for the United States is foreseen by
government officials here, who profess
to know the attitude of Premier Nc
Kenzie King and his cabinet.
Despite the fact that there was no
announcement regardi g the subject at
tn. close of a meeting of the cabinet
yesterday, these officials said they be-
lieved the ministry had definitely de-
cided in favor of refusing the permits.
There has been difference of opin-
ion in the cabinet" one official said.
but no definite split on the subject" /"
those who favor the ban OF liquor clear
ances.
He said that some ministers were of
the opinion that refusal OF clearances
would not stop the flow of liquor across
the border, but were willing to give the
plan a trial in view of the fact that
there is a large body of public opinion
in favor of 1t.
Action along this line would come
in the form of an empowering act by
Parliament, leaving the government free
to make it effective when 1t saw fit.
The subject of refusing clearanceS to
liquor cargoeS was discussed at a Joint
conference of United States and Ca
madam officials year ago, at which
time the Canadians rejected the pro-
poSal, but agreed to give it further con-
sideration.

WORKMAN KILLED
IN NSCAFFOLD CRASH
Another Carpenter Is Injured
in 20-Foot Fall at Ben
MurCh School.

One carpenter was killed and an
other one injured shortly after noon to-
day when they crashed 20 feet to the
ground from scaffolding on which
they we're working at the Ben Murch
School, now under construction at
Thirty-sixth and Davenport streets.
r. E. Vanpelt was pronounced dead
on arrival at Emergency Hospital and
j. Ballad escaped with painful cuts and
bruises to the head and body. His con-
dition is not regarded serious.
According to fellow workmen, the two
men were engaged in carpentering work
on a plank board which ran across the
scaffolding nearly 20 feet in the air.
The plank is believed to have given way,
causing both men to crash to the
ground below. They were taken to the
hospital in a police car.
