HEARS ATTORNEYS
IN TRIAL OF FALL
Justice Hitz Makes Sugges-
tons Which Are Expected
to Facilitate Agreement.

Justice William Hitz in Criminal
Division today heard special oil pros
ecutors, Atlee Pomerene and Owen j.
Roberts, with Attorney Frank j. Hogan,
representing Albert B. Fall, former Sec
rotary of the Interior, in connection
with differences between counsel as to
the points of the recent trial OF Fall
to be incorporated in an appeal from
the conviction of the former Secretary
on an indictment charging the accept
ance of a bride of 100000 from Ed
ward L. Doheny. oil maganate of Los
Angeles. Fall was sentenced to serve
one year in the District jail and to
pay a fine of SIC 900 and noted an
appeal to the District Court of Appeals.
The court made some suggestions to
counsel which are expected to facilitate
an agreement between them.
Hogan objected to amendments sug-
gested by the special prosecutors in
reference to the reason for the inclu-
sion of the evidence concerning Falls
dealings with Harry F. Sinclair at a
time subsequent to the alleged bribery,
and to the including of various con-
tracts between Fall and Sinclair. The
Governments giving reasons for certain
comments by the trial justice during
the arguments of counsel to the jury
were also excepted to by Hogan.
Pomerene and Roberts defended their
position in asking the inclusion of the
Objectionable matter on the theory that
there had been considerable play dur
ing the trial on the sympathy plea ard
the request that Fall be returned to the
sunshine Of New Mexico, at which the
court had remarked to the jury that it
had nothing to do with the sunshine
of New Mexico, and the Appellate Court
should know why the court so remarked.

The District Commissioners today
sent to Congress an unfavorable report
on a bill to allow a building 1870 feet
high on the Dean tract where 1t II
proposed to build q Masonic Temple.
An act of Congress would be neces-
Sary, as the present zoning regula tons
allow q maximum of only ITO feet. A
similar act was passed to allow the
National Press Club to put up its pres
emit structure at Fourteenth and r
streets.
IF the proposed building is erected
in accordance with the requirements of
the regulations now in force" the Com
mtSStonerS wrote, cit would be of a
commanding height because of the
topography of the land and, under the
circumstances, the Commissioners are
unable to appreciate upon what logical
grounds building of the height of 1870

coming regulations by exceptions, and
they feel that amendments should be
discouraged unless they are Of general
application. II the bill Is enacted, n
precedent would be established which
could not be logically defended"
In report to the Commissioners on
the subject by Col. John w. Oehmann,
the District building inspector, he
wrote: THE (zoning) act was amended
to permit the height of the Press Build
