and with fairness, but with firm.

FALLS LAWYERS
PLAN ATTACK ON
GUILTY VERDICT
Former Secretary To Be
Sentenced Next Friday
On Bribery Charge.
By HERBERT LITTLE

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. U.P)-
Former Secretary Of Interior Albert
b. Fall probably viii be sentenced
next Friday to imprisonment, fine
end disqualification from public of
flee for his conviction on charges
Of accepting 100000 bribe while
4 member of the Harding cabinet.
The sentence may be from one
day to three years.
The Jury which yesterday found
the 7S year old defendant guilty Of
accepting the 100000 in little
brown satchel from +. l.. Doheny
oil millionaire, unanimously recon-
mended mercy, and there is little
likelihood therefore that the maxi
mum sentence Of three years and
5000, ,000-triple the amount of the
bribe-will be imposed.
Falls lawyers headed by Frank
j. Hogan, today planned an attack
on the actions of Justice William
IIitz, who presi&ed at the trial in
their motion for 4 new trial. This
motion, filed few hours after the
verdict and cortaining 80 grounds
for new trial, will come up for
argument on Friday as matter of
form.
The motion, and an accompanying
one for stay OF judgment, are for
malities prior 70 making an appeal
to the district court Of appeals.
Such motions are almost invariably
denied.
If they are denied the sentence
will be imposed, and defense lawyers
will appeal from this judgment.
\ decision by that court, if ad-
verse to Fall, will certainly be ap-
pealed to the L. S. supreme court.
The highest tribanal adjourns from
June until October. 1t is unlikely
therefore the supreme court would
reach his case until u months from
now.
There is also The possibility JUS
tice Hitz might suspend the Jail
sentence inasmuch as the jury rec
commended mercy.
! Fall Is Broke
Fall is reported financially insol-
vent, his ranch, improved and en-
larged with the $269,000 he received
from Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair,
having been sold at foreclosure sale
last spring, and purchased by Do
heny. The law provides that by serv-
ing 80 days in addition to any Jail
sentence, and taking the poor con-

cape payment of q fine.
Some of Falls relatives or friends,
such as Doheny. might make up
enough to pay the fine, if he is ulti-
mately called upon to meet the
courts penalty.
Fall remained in seclusion i'll his
hotel suite today, with his wife
daughters and friends, smarting un-
der the ignominy of being the first
cabinet officer in United States his.
tory to be convicted of felony
committed while in office.
His family planned to leave to-
day for the "healing sunshine of
New Mexico" mentioned by his
lawyer and former neighbor, Mark

that Doheny, indicted for giving the
same 100000 bribe, would be

CREW OF WRECKED
SHIP STRANDED.
ON GREAT LAKES

SAULT ST. MARIE, Mich, Oct.
26.-(U.H- Thirty-one haggard and
hungry sailors shivered in the freez-
ing gales sweeping Michipicoten Is

ships held off from the jagged rocks,
unable to rescue them.
Starvation threatened the men,
members of the package freighter

sage from the tug Whalen, which
was awaiting lull in the waves be-
fore making another rescue attempt.
The Chicago, driven before the
furious storm of Tuesday night,
rammed onto the rocky rampant of
the little island. Seams were opened
and the freight sank at the stern,
submerging the crews quarters.
Fighting through the icy combers
falling over the wrecked vessel, the
sailors made their way to shore.
Capt. P. c. Ferrel, of Buffalo. stayed
aboard until all his men were safely
ashore.
The Whalen, owned by the Great
Lakes Transit Corporation which
owned the Chicago, put in at Quebec
and officers attempted to hire In

impossible.

CASE TO
SENA T.E
Connecticut Senator Is
Cited By Committee On
Lobbying.
WITHHOLD COMMENT
Question Railroads Act
In Contributing To Lob

BY PAUL r. MALLON
Quilted Press Staff Correspondent

NSuAIcu L hCoo OLdlk SolEcSpOuOeuII
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. W.p)-
The case of Senator Hiram Bing-
ham, influential senate Republican
from Connecticut, who took a $10,-
600 a year employee of the Connecti-
cut Manufacturers Association into
the secret tariff sessions of the sen.
ate finance committee, was today
cited to the senate, without com.
ment, for any action it may deem
proper.
A report, refraining from inter
preting the unusual circumstances
of the employment was presented by
Chairman Caraway Of the lobby in
vestigating committee which heard
the witness involved.
The committee questioned the pro-
priety of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad contributing
$4,000 a year to the Manufacturers
association funds which were used,
it stated, "for the payment of the
services of lobbyist in Washing
ton"
1t promised to report later
whether the contribution violates
any federal statute.
The only recommendation made
was for adoption of resolution call
ing upon Secretary of Commerce La
mont to furnish the Senate list of
the 81 year men in employ Of the
department, citing the 1919 statute
which the committee contends, made
such employment illegal. The action
grew out of the testimony of w. +.
Wuichet, a $4,000 a year clerk of
the commerce department for duties
in connection with gathering trade
statistics.
Asked For Loan
The document told how Bingham
wrote the Connecticut Manufactures
Association last summer asking the
loan" of man who could act as an
expert advise on tariff problems,
particularly those of Connecticut.
1t related how Charles l.. Eyanson,
the assistant to the president of the
association was sent; how Bingham
had Eyanson sworn as clerk of the
territories committee, and how cyan
son took $3575O salary from the
government which he turned over to
Bingham.
Eyanson's presence in the finance
committee was observed by chair.
man Smoot who told Bingham "it
would be better if he did not longer
attend" the report states. And Ey.
anson thereafter withdrew. A mem
orandum from the files of the Man
ufacturers Association shows it had
knowledge of the secret affairs of
the committee, nit continued.
Bingham later sent Eyanson a per.
sonal check for 81 900 which has not
been cashed, the report said.
In connection with the depart.
ment of commerce resolution the
committee cited the law specifically
stating no government official or
employ shall receive any salary in
connection with his services for the
government" the maximum penalty
being $1,000 fine and months in
Jall. 1t made no effort to apply the
law to the Eyanson employment.
