RUM RING BOOKS SHOW BRIDES UP TO $4,000 A WEE
D0HENY 7 ELLIS
Of LOAN To
FALL

One cold friend" came to
the aid of the other in the
Criminal branch of District
Supreme Court here today.
Benign and benevolent in appear
ance, 74year.old Edward l.. Doheny,
multi-millionaire oil operator, took
the witness stand in the Fall
bribery trial and explained that he
gave 100000 to former Secretary
Of Interior Albert B. Fall at the
time he acquired a lease on the
Elk Hills naval oil reserve as a
mere loan"
A romantic story Of the old days
In the West, when men were men
and braved death in quest of gold
and oil, prefaced Doheny's explana-
|, ton OF the transaction the Govern
ment contends was a bride.
Friends AZ Years
Under the careful guidance of
Frank J. Hogan. chief defense at
torney, the pink-faced. white-haired
oil baron told how he and Fall
prospected together 43 years ago
and struck up a friendship that has
come down through the years.
1t was this friendship that
prompted the man whose millions
run into several score to make an
unsecured loan of a mere 100000,
he told the jury.
Preceding him on the stand had
been his wife. who attested to the
same story of the 100000 trans
action. In a clear, well.modulated
voice. Mrs. Doheny had explained
that the signature had been torn
from the note Fall gave for the
money simply as A precaution to
save the aged defendant from the
possible embarrassment OF prema-
ture foreclosure should she and her
husband be killed simultaneously
in a railroad accident.
In Miners Dream"
IT first met Fall in 1885 at Kings
ton, New Mexico" Doheny testified.
He was working in the Grey Eagle
mine: | was working in the Miners
Dream"
Doheny told. among other things,
how he discovered oil where Lake
Shore Boulevard, Los Angeles
street, now runs.
Inc oil IldSIldje lOlu JlO" L an al
1921, had told him of an urgent de-
sire to acquire certain ranch prop
erty adjoining his in New Mexico
so as to preserve his water rights.
He spoke Of borrowing the money
but from the way he talked /
gathered he was doubtful whether
the people he had in mind would
loan It to him." Doheny testified.
Il told him that I was quite able
to loan him 500, 900"
Fall Asked For Cash
Doheny said Fall later phoned
him in New York and asked TO
borrow the money.
II told him | would send him a
check" Doheny said. He said
that in view of the condition of
banks in the West at that time, and
because he would need part OF it for
an immediate down payment, that
he would prefer to have it in cash.
so ! had my son draw the
money from the bank and take it
down TO Washington"

He Is Raymond "A. Gallaghef, 81,
whose real address is unknown, since
he was never seen at the New York
address he gave the company.
The robbery occurred in the heart
of New York's financial district late
yesterday.
The armored car. which is one of
a fleet of q operated by the Drinks
Company, in New York, started to-
day on its route to pick up pay roll
checks, cash the checks at banks
and return the cash in envelopes to
the companies.
On the car were Gallagher. whose
sole job was to drive the car; Floyd
+. Chase, crew manager, whose job
was to lock and unlock the cash
chest. and Edward Roche, the guard,
whose job was to lock the driver in
the car with the cash chest when he
and the crew manager entered an
office or bank.
When Chase and Roche went into
the Chemical National Bank they
took 100000 which they had just
picked up at the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad offices.
They left $4,000 the money of 10
other firms, in the cash box.
When they returned, Gallagher
and the car were gone.
They called up the assistant dis
trict manager, William De Cray. who
Immediately teiephoned the president
of the company in Chicago.
The armored car was found later
four blocks away from the bank. It
was without a driver and the cash
box was empty.
Shortly before the express COM
pany received by messenger the
batch of envelopes bearing the
names of firms to which the 500 900
was to have been dispatched. The
boy, Joseph Tartaslia. said a man
had given him 81 to deliver the en-
velopes.
The slip was signed gallagher"
and the handwriting checked with
Gallagher's handwriting.
According to police. Gala CHER had
a duplicate set of keys. The police
say also that the guard failed to
lock him in the car when he was
left alone with it. They believe
that Gallagher had carefully MANNED
the robbery end secreted suit of
business clothes into which he could
change from his uniform.

Production Of Ochres
Copyright, 1922

MATURE now and then has way of pro-
ducing something in the natural state
which is highly useful in work never con-
templated in the normal activities of Nature.
Take the case of paintS-the various ochers,
which are used so widely in producing colors
varying from yellow to reddish brown. These
natural mineral pigments are mined in several
States, notably Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Alabama, California. Iowa and Vermont. They
are composed of clays which have been colored
by the presence of iron, in the form of hydrated
ferric oxide
Not only are the ochers used in paints, but
also in linoleums and oilcloths as we'll as
colcring for cement, stucco and mortar.
The preparation Of ochers is simple, involving
purely mechanical processes of washing, drying
puiverizing and packing. The washing is in
tended primarily to rid the ocher of sand small
stones and other impurities. It also serves as
well better to mix the ocher.

Alien Foe Put to R0nt

THE heavy hand of the Government fell SO
emphatically upon the invasion of the
United States by an alien foe that within two
months of the invasion the foe was extermi-
mated
The foe in question was one of the most
dreaded of foreign diseases from the farmers
point Of view-the European fowl pest.
It was discovered when several farmers in
Morris County, N j., reported a strange disease
which had broken out among their chickens.
Prompt investigation of the first reports, which
were received in June, disclosed that the dreaded
pest had reached this country. Within two
weeks all infected fowls and numbers of others
which had been exposed were destroyed and
after a month without further reports of the
disease, the Federal officials were convinced that
the outbreak had been suppressed while OUT
breaking.

They both looked back little wistfully, for
q last glimpse of the cabin.
IN the village they relinqushed the car to
the viager at the Millville station who
counted the money with rural suspicion as they
boarded the train AS the Stuffy day coach

York something of the JOY of the stolen week

Both of them were thinking their own private
thoughts. How about that Borden deal? Did
the Office try to locate me? Or won-
der, IS Jim really content to be with Lucille?
Or did he try to find me?
New York loomed near, with its problems
and duties and struggles.
When they came through the gates at the
crowded Grand Central Station, Hal and Mary
were no longer the girl who had cooked a
camp supper and the tall man who had car
ried in spruce branches for q rustic bed, but
two tense New Workers, smart and hurryng
like all the rest.
In the taxi they were silent Suddenly Hal
leaned over and put his hand on Mary's knee.
You see it can be done now, don't you,
Mary? This foolish fear of Jim won't stop
you any more from being just mine sometimes,
will it?"

fear came into her eyes,

But no, madame. Do not distress Yourself.
He is quite, quite all right. He was a little

bench under the great silver mirror and turned
TO Mary with a rueful grin
"Goodby honeymoon-helo New York; But

In the hall the butler and Lucille smiled at

half an hour later, he stood once more In the
cabin door, his arms filled with fragrant green
boughs, night had fallen on the hills behind
him and q lantern glowed on the table, where
sat biscuits, preserves and crisp lettuce, in
tempting array. Over the fire coffee steamed
and bacon spluttered.

MARY looked up, her eyes alight, and her
A'A cheeks flushed with something more than
the heat Of the fire.
Hal, it Is such fun! wish we'd done it
long ago. Dinner is served sir"
He arranged the spruce boughs in the bunk
"a soft woodland bed. And the two of them
fell on the simple food with the appetite which
always springs suddenly to life when mountain
air, exercise, youth and excitement are present.
It was a gay meal, with intimate, silly little
jokes which made the cabin echo to their
laughter, and still more intimate siences when
only the voice Of the fire was heard. But
when, seated on the door sill and looking out
into the soft star-spangled night, Hal held
match for MaryS cigaret, he saw shadow OF
trouble in her brown eyes.

THREE ARRESTS FOLLOW
ROBBERY At MIDDLEI0VN
FIFTY-ONE SUITS, FOURTEEN
OVERCOATS ARE TAKEN
So Quietly Was the Robbery Made
MIR. Berg Did Not Know About
II Until the Next Morning

Thieves broke into the clothing
store and tailoring shop of Samuel
Berg early Tuesday morning, De
cember 3rd, and stole 81 suits of
clothing and IA overcoats. They
gained an entrance by using an ak
and shovel on the double doors in
the rear of the building, and got
away with their plumber so quickly
that the robbery was not discover
ed until Mr.. Berg entered his store
at eight o'clock that morning. Two
dogs belonging to Mr.. P. B. Mes
sick did considerable barking
about 2.30 o'clock, and the suppo-
sition is that it was at this time
the robbery occurred Mr.. Berg
Immediately notified the police of
several cities and on Tuesday af-
ternon James Blackson, a young
colored man of MiddletoWn, was
arrested in Philadelphia, with a
large quantity of the stolen cloth
ing packed away on the rear seat
of Hudson coach. An examina-
tion of the car disclosed the fact
that the clothes were on hangers
bearing Samuel Berg's name, Mid
dletown, Delaware. Blackson was
questioned about the robbery and
admitted his guilt and implicated
four other colored men, and on
Wednesday Emlin Brown, of Odes-
so, who owned the car the clothing
was found in, was arrested and
while Corporal Ray was taking
him to the WorkhCuse Thursday
morning, they met George Welby
near the State Road police station,
and Brown informed Ray that
Welby was one Of those implicat-
ed in the robbery. Welby was I'M
mediately placed under arrest and
taken to the WorkhOuse with
Brown. Two other negroes impli-
Gated in the robbery are still at
large, but are likely to be appre-
hended in very short time After
Blackson's arrest he made a full
confession of the robbery, and said
that they first planned to rob the
gents furnishing store Of William
n. Donovan, but later decided il
would be less trouble for them to
dispose of clothing, and they pick
ed the Berg store for their plum
der. Fortunately for Mr.. Berg, 35
of the suits and two of the over
coats were found in the car when
Blackston was placed under arrest,
and he vent to Philadelphia i'm
mediately and after identifying his
clothing, returned with the stolen
goods. A large number Of the
suits had ben left at Berg's store
for cleaning and pressing and Mr.
Berg was very fortunate in recov-
ering his customers clothing 9TH
erWise he would have reimbursed
them for their loss. Mr.. Berg feels
very grateful to the people Of the
town, and the local police who rem
dered him valuable assistance in
locating and causing the arrest of
those who are supposed to be
responsible for the robbery.
