ATTORNEY SAYS
D0HENY MONEY
WAS FOR BRIBE

WASHINGTON, Mar 13. U.P)-
The payment of 100000 by Edward
L. Dohenf to Albert p. Fall was so
closely linked to negotiations of the
millionaire for valuable government
oil leases that it could be interpret
ed only as q bribe, Owen ]. Roberts,
prosecution counsel, charged today
in his opening statement in the Do
heny bribery trial.
Roberts explained the intricacies
of the oil lease cases to the jury. He
denounced Doheny as giver of
bribes and pictured Fall, who was
then secretary of the interior, as an
unscrupulous man sorely in need of
funds.
On Nov. %, 1921, Roberts said,
Doheny wrote to Fall. who had taken
over mana cement of the govern,
ment's naval oil reserve, saving he
expected more leases in return for a
plan for storage tanks at Pearl Har-
Dor. Hawaii. The next day Fall
telephoned Dohenv in New York.
asking for 100000 Roberts told
the jury.
Doheny obtained the money in
cash in his sons name, not even u.s.
ing his own bank, Roberts charged.
The son then brought the money in
satchel to Washington and gave it
to. Fall on Nov. 80, receiving a note
for the amount.
Roberts declared the government
would prove this money was simply
a bribe to influence granting of
leases in the Elk Hills naval reserve
to the Pan American Petroleum &
Transport Company, a Doheny or
ganization.
The defense contention is that the
money was simply q loan to FAN
from an old friend.

Clash Is Opening Gun In
Campaign For Coming
Election

Los ANGELES, Mar. 3.-WP)- -
The first blow in California 5 com
ing gubernatorial battle was struck
today when District Attorney Ruron
Fits of Los Angeles, candidate for
governor at the next election, Wig
orously attacked Governor &. G..
Young, incumbent. for the manner
in which the latter handled tie Al
phonsc Reilly death sentence ease.
In letter to Young, made public
by Fits, Fits accused the COVER
nor of having deliberately misquotcd
him. when the governor announced
that Reilly must hang tomorrow.
Fits contendcd in his letter that
the governor, in declining to ad-
vance executive elemency TO Reilly,
said that Fits had advised against
Il.
To support this contention. Fits
contendcd. the governor used only
such parts of letter written by the
district attorneys office as sup.
ported the governors views.
1t is difficult for me to believe,
Fits wrote "that the chief cxecu-
tive of California would deliberately
misquotc a statement in the matte;
u the extreme importance of this
oase.
but in our quotation released 10
he press you have taken a sentence
contained in Mr.. Mckay's deputy
district attorney letter and cut it
IN half, using only that part of the
sentence which tends to sustain your
public position and abandoning the
remainder.
Fits sdid that the governor, in
supporting his contentious, had
quoted Fits from a letter that was
written by William McKav, dep
MY in Fits office.
Quotes Letter
The part quoted. according To- Fits
was:
Il beg to advise You that the rec
ord itself discloses that this man
'vas guilty of Il wellplanned, de
iiberate, cold blooded murder. Our
ctflce is of the opinion that the sen
,cnce originally imposed upon Reilly
should in no w1N - altered.
The portion o, the sentence as.
sortedly left out by Governor Young
in quoting Mckay's letter repre-
scented that Reilly should not be
hanged unless his sanity was cstab'
lishcd definitely.
"If Reilly is sane he should be
hanged.' Fits said in his open let
ter to the governor. "lf he is in
sane it would be a gross injustice to
carry out the sentence.

why you have chosen to rely pub

Bodenhamer said. He deplored the
tendency of the nation gradually
to reduce its military forces.
He challenged the recent declara-
ton of President Hoover that the
United States today has the larg-
est combined military and naval
budget in the world.
This large expenditure for past
and future wars is not a cost of
national defense, but rather the
cost and penalty for an unprepared-

for our having been drawn into the

Americans, an early settlement OF

The first mobilization loan, the
GIFTED Press is informed, will be for
S20O. 900 900. Negotiations for this
issue will begin in April, after which
the bank will be established, and
the loans will be floated in May.
The question of non-German rep
arations payments appears nearer
settlement as the result of two con-
ferences between the italian, Brit

lions.
Fund for Hungary
One proposal is that a central
fund. or pool. be established and
administered by an independent
board which would take the reSpon-
sibility for the Hungarian payments.
In such an event, a stipulation
would be made that cases, already
under jurisdiction of the League of
Nations, would not be prejudiced.
The main endeavor from now I'M
til Wednesday will be to reach an
agreement of the five powers with
Germany on the Young plan, under
which the protocol can be written,
