FALL SLASHED
/ COSTS 0
DOHENY

Los ANGELES, Dec. 5 QN.S).
That Albert B. Fall, former Secre-
tary Of the Interior, sunmarily
slashed Government royalties on
the Elk Hills Naval Reserve leases
more than half, was testified yester-
day by e. c. Finney, former as
sfstant Secretary of the Interior,
in the Governments suit to cancel
the leases. Edward L. Doheny's
Pan-American Petroleum Company
Is defendant in the suit.
Finney identified a trunkful of
documents, brought to the trial by
former United States Senator At
lee W. Pomerene, of Ohio, special
prosecutor for the Government.
Finney was on the witness stand
in the court of Federal Judge
Frank G. NorcroSs all day.
AS first Assistant Secretary of
the Interior under Fall, Finney
said application was made to him
by the Midway Oil Company for
. reduction in the royalties to be
paid under the Elk Hills leases in
Kern county. Finney said:
THE royalties were fixed at
5513 per cent by competitive
bidding, and I refused even to
consider an application for
their reduction" ,,.....
F1nney testified that Fall sub
sequently slashed royalties to a
percentage basis ranging from
1917 to Is per cent, depending
Upon the grade of the oil pro-
duced. Fi:lney stated that he con.
stdered granting the Midway
more land, but would not con
slider cutting royalties.
Pomerene indicated his inten.
ton Of showing from the evidence
that signerG Of the contracts for
more thai so per cent royalty
never expected to maintain the
contracts at that figure.
The Midway Oil Company, &C
cording to the record, was sub
Sidiary of the Pan American Oil
Company, of which Edward l..
Doheny once was head. He has
since transferred his. stock con-
troll to the Richfield Oil Com
pany, attorneys said. ,....
The suit grows out of the trans
fer of control of the oil lands
from the Navy Department to the
Interior Department by executi i've
order of the late President Hard
ing on May 81, 1921. The In
terror Department then was
headed by Fall.

WANT TO LOOK YOUNG?

The secret Of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels
there's no need Of having sallow
complexion-dark rings under your
eyes-pimples-a bilious look in your
face-dull eyes with no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.

which he gave to his patients for

Locate Iron Messenger
of Space in Africa

Bloemfontein, South Africa.-Again
chance has led to the discovery Of
one of those mysterious messengers
that bear evidence that space is not
empty. This time the news comes
from the far northeastern corner of
southwest Africa.
In the Grootfontein district me-
teor lies In tomb of limestone,
great, massive block of iron. There
Is nothing dramatic In Its appearance
"a lone block of metal in the veldt
but If one tries to visualize Its ar
rival one finds d spectacle surpassed
by few.
A black mass Of Iron, cruising
through space, invisible to all. Sud-
denly, MS it enters the earths atmos-
phere. it's great speed and the excess
sive friction set Il blaze in fraction
of a second. An enormous fireball,
white hot, 1t approaches the ground
with an angry hiss. A terrific roar
as it crashes through layers Of lime
stone, a shower of sparks, sand, rocks
and metals, cloud of dust-and all
Is quiet.
A deep pit was excavated all
around 1t, to show the full extent OF
it's huge mass The whole appear
ance is remarkable-an almost fiat,
level upper surface by 10 feet In
size, with almost vertical sides about
four to five feet deep. 1t is estimated
that 1t weighs not less than 80 tons.

GIRL, 10, MAY HAVE
BEAU, COURT RULES
Great Modern Question Is Set
tied by Judge.

New York.-The weighty legal opin-

ton:
Might girl Of eighteen have beau
or mightn't she?
All girlhoods future was at stake
as pretty Josephine Pupica of Yon.
kers faced the bar of justice in Yon-
kers before Judge G. w. Boote.
Josephine had been hailed to court
by her mother for running away to
relatives home because she would
not live up to the parents rules of
never assoclating with boys, handing
over all her weekly wages, never stay
Ing out later than 10 p. m. and never
visiting girls at night.
The girls lips quivered and she told
the stern court:
II had to run away, your honor.
Listen to those rules"
So the Judge listened and then he
pondered. It may be that he thought
of the time when he used to have an
occasional date with pretty brunette
like Josephine.
II will lay down some new rules"
he declared.
"You may remain out later than 10
o'clock. Say II or whereabouts.
"You may keep some Of your earn
ings for yourself and also you may
visit other girls at night.
"You may select your own clothes"
But" exclaimed the defendant, Ter,
how about boy FIR"
The court interposed, twinkle In
his eye.
"Oh, yes," he remarked. "You may
accept the attentions Of respectable
young man."
Josephine smiled. Girlhood had been
freed from bondage!

SNAKE BITE FATAL
TO REPTILE EXPERT
Serum Injections Fail to
Halt Deadly Poison.

New York.-For more than 30 years
Charles p. Snyder, former head keep
err Of mammals and reptiles ut the
New York geological garden in Bronx
park, befriended snakes.
He fed them, made pets Of some,
and pointed to their comparative
harmlessness and utility in public lee
lures.
His interest in reptiles led the vet
eran keeper on periodic trips to cap
ture more of them. One morning,
in the Ramapo mountains, one Of
them struck for the liberty of its
mate, which was ALMOST in Snyder's
grasp. The former keeper died, a
victim Of rattlesnake poison which
anti-venom serum failed to halt.
Serum Rushed to Hospital.
DIR. Raymond l.. Ditmars, curator OF
mammals and reptiles at the Bronx
zoo, had rushed serum to him at the
Good Samaritan hospital In Suffern,
N. Y.
Snyder, who was flfty-seven, died
about "a hours after the two poison
fangs had sunk into the back of his
left hand. 1t took him five hours to
reach the hospital, delay which was
held responsible for his death, al
though even after such lapse Of time
the failure of the serum to counteract
the poison was considered unusual
There was no trepidation in Sny-
der's mind as he struck into the Ram
apo woods, accompanied by Paul
Snyder, q friend and snake enthusi-
asst.
They were on Little Tor mountain,
pursuing separate trails 100 yards
apart, when Snyder saw RATHER be-
tween four and five feet long gliding
over rock ledge near his feet.
AS the snake squirmed into a Gre
vase Snyder ducked to catch Its tail
80 that he might swing it out with
quick jerk into the open and pin It
with forked stick he was carrying.
Sinks. Fangs In Hand.
AS he stopped, another snake, ap-
parently the mate of the first reptile,
Iunged from hiding place In the
grass. 1t sank It's fangs into the hand.
Snyder shrank back calling to his
friend, and the reptiles took to cover.
With his companion at his side, Sny-
der sucked the two wounds, sought to
squeeze out the poison and used n
handkerchief as tourniquet about his
arm to shut Off the circulation. Hos.
pital and serum treatment followed,
but to no avail.
