 Good.

Washington, March IS Pl-For the first time in the long series Of . criminal oil cases the government today got before a jury the fact that the award of tho Elk Hills naval oil reserve to a Doheny company had \ been termed by courts in civil cases as fraud on the part of Edward l. Doheny, on trial for bribery, and Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior.
 Doheny himself opened the door for admission of the testimony in his bribery trial by reciting under a gruelling cross-cXamination by Owen Roberts, special government prosecutor, how he accepted security for what the government charges was $l00,00O bribe to Fall. Sent Him Security
 The witness said that in 1921, after the first criminal indictments had been quashcd, Fall sent him shares in his cattle company for s3- curity for what he termed the loan.
 He could do it then" he ex- plained, without being accused of trying to cover up as nothing in this . case was pending" ''The civil cases werc pending and you knew it, didn't you?' Roberts shot back.
 n Yes" replied the witness. 4 'I)Hn'f fu \, the grounds that it would incrEl- mate you," asked the prosecutor.
 Doheny wouldn't give direct an- swer aId the court directed that lie do so.
 Previously the 73 year old defen3- ant broke down as he reached a point in his testimony which COT cerned his son, Edward L. Doheny, Jr., who was killed by his secretary about a year ago.
 Doheny said Rear Admiral J. K. Robison urged him to bid for the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, oil storage contract because of the menace that a certain power might be to the United States in Pacific waters.
 Doheny added that Robison's graphic picture-of what mlght hap pen as the result of an attack by the 1 power referred to nearly made me cry"

WAR RISK GREAT, FRENCHMAN SAYS
Sen, Bepenger Tells French Par
 liament Of Present Danger
ANALYZES WORLD BODIES
Former American Ambassador Secs Little Guarantee of Peace in Pres cut International Moves, Including Naval Conference.

Naval Conference.
 Paris, March IS LP>-Warning that the world of today faces the same risk of war as preceding cpochs, was issued today by Senator Henry Der Cngcr, former ambassador to Wash ington, in q report to the French parliament.
 Tho report was submitted in be- half of the finance committee on the budget of the ministry of foreign af- fairs and reviewed the external poli- ties of France which NJ. Berenger in- sisted has ceased to be d European continental nation and has become intcr-continental.
 AnalyZcs League of Nations
 After affirming that all countries arc forming international political systems, M. Bercnger made a critica analysis of the League of Nations the Young plan, the world court, the project for United States of Europe and the London naval conference.
 He concluded that if -conti. mental politics sought the consolida. tion of peace. it was not necessarily q synonym of peace and that the crisis was found in the fact that | dcmocracieS, while wishing peace feared war and that, though wish ing 10 diSarm, they remained armed The former ambassador concluded Neither on the sea where scvera impcrialiSms arc opposed to one an other, nor on land where central ant oriental Europe arc far from being consolidated, does the situation justi fy any lazy optimism. With it's doubl, determination oft-timeS affirmed o peace and domination, our age con tains as many murdcrous risks a: those which have gone before.'
 Budget Shows Increase NJ. Bcrenger told parliament tha Frances foreign affairs budge jumped from 20,O00,0O0 francs il 1914 to 2S0,00O,00O francs in 1880 namely trebled taking into account the reduction in the value of tho franc. He said this was due to the normal evolution of the policies oi Franco which since the World Wal has passed from q continental tc an intercontinental plan like all the other great powers"

Renick, Held in Bristol, Alleged
 to Have Confessed
SECOND ARREST IS MADE
Raymond Campbell Not Believed Involved in TorcstyilIc Job-Chail Store Breaks in kcnsington Laid to Group, Two Are still Missing.

Steps which arc expected to lead to the clearing up of several burg laries committed ill New Britain and Kcnsington during the past few months were being taken today by the police of the two places on in formation furnished by Charles Rcnicll, 19, of 337 High street, who is under arrest in Bristol for break ing into the Economy store in For cstville center Sunday night.
 Detective Sergeant r. J. O'Mara of the local department and Con- stable George Kanupka of Berlin went to Bristol this forenoon and in- the Bristol police, has talked very freely since being arrested by Super numerary Officer Dewey Carpenter, who surprised a trio in the act of breaking into the store. On their return, Sergeant O'Mara reported to Chief Detective Sergeant George C. Elinger and the latter said tho in- formation obtained was of great value to the authorities, but it could not be disclosed at the present be- cause it st be followed and may lead to ( -'ests.
 Suspected Many Breaks
 That th : ) New Britain youths who cscH i when Renick was caught arc implicated in several cases which have remained unsolved is understood, but it is said Renick denied that he or they were in volved in certain other jobs, notably the robbery of q Gold street store keeper few weeks ago. The local police had the two missing youths in charge last week and questioned them about this robbery. but both denied all knowledge of it and th= police were obliged to release them. Eenick's statement to Sergeant Q Mara today is said to have sub- stantiated their denial.
 1 Constable kanupka learned from Renick during the interview the names of those involved in tho ! burglaries in kcnsington last Tues | day night. Michael LaRosc, man. ager of the Economy store on Main street.

 Are Successful in Requests for
 Lenicncy.
 Joseph Godlewslli. 24, of cor Bur ritt street and Fred Pellegrini, A of 10l Glen street, were fined $35 and costs each by Judge M. D. SaXe in police court today on the charge of theft of Landcrs. Frary &s Clark products while employed in the eX- port stock room of tho concern. At torncy E. J. Monkiewicz appeared for Godlewski and Attorney Leonard s. Appcl represented Pellegrini. Both pleaded guilty.
 Sergeant T. J. Fccncy testified that t hand vacuum cleaner, such as is used for cleaning the interior of au- tomobiles, and d number of articles of cutlery were found in Pellegrini's home last week, and secreted behind q case in the stock room at the fac tory were electric heating pads which Pellegrini admitted intending to take home when the opportunity presented itself. An electric flatiron was sccreted in a keg covered with nails and Pellcgrini intended 10 car ry it away also, according to the testimony.
 At Godlcwslii's home, an electric soldering iron was secreted under a vcranda and three electric heating pads were found hidden in the stock room at the factory, it having been Godlewski's plan to carry them home when the opportunity presented it. self. Godlewslli was comparatively new employc, while Pellegrini had been at the factory seven or eight years, according to the testimony. Detective Sergeant P, J. O'Mara gave similar testimony to that of Sergeant Fccney.
 Value Only S13
 William II. Jackson of Llanders, Frary & Clark testified that the value of the articles charged against Pellegrini was $49 and of those in Godlewslli's case approximately $24. In reply to Attorney Monkiewicz, he said the prices were based on the discount arrangement by which cm- ployes arc privileged to make pur- chases, the cost of them approNimat- ing the wholesale prices.
 Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Woods told the court it was another instance of thievcry by factory employees who cannot resist the temptation to pllfer the attractive products turned out i'll local plants.
 Lawyers Ask Jcnicncy
 Attorney Appell told the court Pcllcgrini was married and had llv- cd in New Britain nine years, never before having been implicated ill any difficulty with the law. He made a clean breast of the matter to the factory officials and the po- lice and he has been severely pun ishcd by the loss of his position, added to the improbability that he will be able to find employment in any other New Britain factory. He had not committed the thefts for the purpose of selling the goods, but had been foolish enough to take the articles because he wanted them foc asked that tho court be as lenient as possible.
 Attorney Monkiewicz stressed Godlewski's excellent standing in the community and the suffering his prcdicamcnt has caused his mother.
