EXAMINE FALL
TO DETERMINE
FATE OF TRIAL
PoStponement May Result
Because of Illness Of
Former Secretary.
BY LITTLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-A doctor
today temporarily took out of the
hands of a judge and jury the fate
of Albert B. Fall, grizzled old former
interior secretary, senator, lawyer
and plainsman.
The bribery trial of Albert Z. Fall,
former secretary of interior, was adj
journed today until tomorrow to
permit a more conclusive report on
his physical condition.
DR.. Thomas A. Craytor, named by
Justice William Hitz to examine
Fall after the former cabinet Off
cial, for personal reasons" had de-
clined to permit DR.. Sterling Ruffn,
originally named to make the ex-
animation. reported today Fall was
suffering from a lung congestion.
Justice Hitz said DR.. Clayton re-
ported Fall was too i'll to appear in
court soon or likely not at all"
Examination Not Complete
The examination however, was
not entirely satisfactory" Justice
Hitz said. Or. Clayton was not
able to make an examination which
would enable him to present a final
report as to his condition"
Three prominent physicians we're
named by Hitz to make a more
thorough examination of the former
interior secretary and report to-
morrow.
Falls Hines forced an adjourn
ment of Wednesdays session of the
trial.
Falls condition was reported
somewhat better after his day of
rest in bed. He has been i'll with
bronchitis, and it is feared that the
illness will develop into pneumonia
unless he is kept in bed. His per-
sonal physician, DR.. H. T. Stafford,
and a trained nurse have accom-
panied him to the first two days
of the trial.
Had to Be Carried
He has been SO weak that two
men have lifted him in and out of
his automobile and into the huge
green armchair specially provided
for him in the courtroom.
Prosecutor Owen j. Roberts will
not act to have the indictment dis
missed, if the trial is postponed
because of Falls condition, until he
confers with President Hoover.
If this action should be taken,
however, it probably would mean
abandonment of the other two re-
naming untried indictments in the
oil cases, one charging Fall with
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in the Teapot Dome lease
given to Sinclair, and the other
charging Doheny with giving Fall a
bride.

In the Stock Market
fBy Thomson a. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The I'M
expected ease in money rates finds
influential banking sources some
what divided in their views both
as to the reasons and its perma-
nency. The accepted explanation
appears to be that investment trusts
have distributed substantial blocks
of stocks and find themselves with
idle funds, although it is admitted
also that the federal reserves &C
ceptance policy has undoubtedly
contributed to the lowering Of the
rates. So eminent an authority as
Mitchell, head of the National City
Bank. expresses the view that nor-
NAL rates are still some distance
away, but at the same time he
views the business and financial
structure as on a sound basis. The
liquid condition of investment trusts
offers a choice of either favorable or
unfavorable construction. 1t has, of
course, created a buying power that
can be used when conditions are
considered propitious, but at the
same time, one can not escape the
implication that if we'll managed in
vestment concerns have distributed
large holdings, they do not hold a
particularly favorable view of the
immediate future. So long as there
appears to be this lack of conf
dence in the present phase of the
stock market we believe it to be the
better policy to reduce rather than
increase long commitments.
