BRAND SENATOR
BRIBE FRAUD
Alleged Mexican Document
Is Proved Fake.

BR United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The SEN
ate committee which investigated
the forged Mexican documents pub
lished two years ago by Hearst
newspapers have discovered the
spurious nature of new document
charging the Mexican government
paid 100000 to Senators Borah of
Idaho and Norris of Nebraska,
Chairman David A. Reed of the in
vestigating committee disclosed here
today.
The document and others in re-
lation to it were discovered by the
committee a year ago but the dis
covery was not made public.
Later Reed went to Paris and
proved the document fraudulent.
Tuesday the committee consulted
Borah and Norris who demanded
that the matter ae made public.
Reed said he intended to offer the
senate a unanimous report from
the committee at the earliest pos
sible moment abSolving Borah and
Norris from the imputation of the
secret paper.

Arrest of an alleged bandit ac-

ARRESTED OUTSIDE
COURT AS BANDIT

positively had identified London in
the court room as one of the poker
bandits and the state had shown
London was wanted in the Clinton
robbery, The cashier and teller OF
the bank have identified London, it
was said.
A race between Clinton and Louis
vile authorities as to which would
get to take London away appeared
to be developing. Since London
faces vagrancy charge in munich
pal court here, set for trial Thurs
day, but moved up to snis after
noon, it appeared likely neither
community would get the prisoner
until after that case is disposed of.
London remains a county Jail pris-
oner in custody of Sheriff George
L. Winkler.
The Clinton bank robbery was one
of three raids by bandits in western
Indiana on the same day. Detec-
tives have thought that at least part
of the same bandit gangs might
have participated in a filling station
robbery at Clayton and an attempt
to hold up the Danville state bank
that day.
Tell of HoIdup
At the habeas corpus hearing to-
day Mr.. and Mrs. DeSurne testified
London was the bandit who came to
their home next door to the Falls
City Club and with a gun forced
them to take their baby to the club
and line up around the wall with
twelve poker players. Pritz, they
said, was the man who stood by with
a machine gun. The robbers took
$4,000.
Bickel, who was one of the poker
players, also identified both Lon
don and Pritz. c,
London testifying in the habeas
corpus hearing declared he was a
novelty salesman from Tulsa, Okla,
and knew nothing about the Louis
vile and Clinton affairs. He ad-
mitted knowing Richard Whiting
ton. alias Jimmy Carroll, bootlegger,
killed in hijacking battle near
Lebanon, in December, and Urban
Pope, pal of Wilmington, who
brought the body to the city and
notified police after the battle.

CROWDS FIGHT
THEIR Way TO
RICHARD BIER
Rites Held After Garden
Doors Close; Thousands
Still Trying to Enter.
200 COPS ON GUARD
Late Sport Promoter Is
Honored by NotabIeS
at Services.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Jan. "a spectacle
such as Tex Rickard never planned
drew stampeding thousands to
Madison Square Garden today while
the promoter lay in his bronze cas-
ket, amidst the overpowering scent
OF massed floral offerings.
When the huge garden was filed
from the flower banked bier to the
uppermost reaches of the galleries,
the doors were shut against a throng
still seeking admission, and funeral
services were conducted for the pro-
moter in the presence of his softly
weeping young widow and many
notablS come to honor Rickard.
From 10 o'clock in the morning,
when the doors of the Garden first
were thrown open to the public, un-
til time for the services, crowds
swept in waves against the en-
frances, recalling the riotous scenes
enacted on the occasion of the
funeral of Rudolph Valentino.
Two hundred policemen shouted
and stormed at the throng, and the
disorder was largely vocal. Mounted
cops were forced to charge the
crowds at times.
Once forced into more or less Or
derly lines, the crowd Sifted through
the entrances and into the lobby of
the arena, strangely peaceful after
the turmoil outside.
The quiet hush of the Garden
was broken by the harsh intonation
of of1cious police.
'Hats off"
Get in line, there!"
Keep moving~
Get over on the other side, youi"
If the silent figure in the casket
had come to life, its first thought
would have been to give the public
a better break. There was no chance
to pause for reverential prayer. The
police kept the crowd moving, inter-
ested apparently only in seeing how
many thousands they could "han-
die" each hour.
Fifteen thousand persons were
estimated to have viewed the body
Tuesday night.

Bank Bandits Stayed in
City All Tuesday,
Police Believe.

Four "hard-boiled" bandits who
raided the Irvington State bank
Tuesday morning, got 21,146, a
complete check showed today. Early
estimates of the loot had been be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The loss completely is covered by
insurance and the robbery did not
even halt business at the bank
Tuesday. The bank is affiliated with
the Fletcher Savings and Trust
Company, which rushed cash to the
Irvington institution a few minutes
after the robbery.
City and State Bankers Associa-
ton detectives culling clews picked
up Tuesday, toGay believed the
bandit quartet from either Toledo
or some other city east of Incian-
apolis, perhaps Pittsburgh, although
one bit of evidence indicated they
might have been from st. Louis.
