mission to Return to For
mer Plan

Members of the Bismarck Lions
club, by a vote of Is to 9. Monday de-
cided to advise the city commission
that 1t doesn't like the new parallel
parking system.
The matter was taken up at the
regular luncheon meeting and several
members expressed their views, only
speaking in favor of the new sys-
tenn. William Powell said he feels
the new regulation keeps customs off
the main business streets since there
is room for less than half as many
cars to park as under the old system
and that folks will not carry parcels
very far to their automobiles. He said
he felt the new regulation Is harmful
to the mercantile business.
E. B. Klein favored the new system
and suggested that If Bismarck bus
inessmen would leave their cars at
home or would park them outside
the business district they could have
the benefits of parallel parking and
still leave parking space for those who
had legitimate need for it. He said
he recently noticed the ears of seven
employees parked in front of a local
business house. He suggested that
the cluo make an effort to develop
vacant downtown uots into free park
ing places.
Obert Olson attacked the two-hour
parking limit. He said 1t would not

PARDON BY HOOVER
IS LAST HOPE Held
BY ALBERT B. FALL
Former Secretary of Interior
Announces He Will Not Ap.
peal His Sentence
WAS CONVICTED OF BRIBERY
Aged New Mexico Man Believes
Strain of Another Trial
Would Prove Fatal
WAS CONVICTED OF BRIBERY

Three Rivers, N. NJ, May 4.-tP}-
Albert B. Fall looked to President
Hoover Monday for a pardon as his
only avenue Of escape from a SEN
tence of a year in jail and 500, 900
fine on conviction of accepting a bride
from E. l.. Doheny, oil man.
The former secretary of the inter
Tor announced Sunday he would not
again appeal his sentence by a Dis
trict of Columbia court In which he
was found guilty on charges growing
out of the leasing of naval oil re-
serves.
MY attorney, Mr.. Frank j. Ho-
gam" he said in q formal statement,
presumably reached Washington to-
day on his return from a two months
absence In Europe. I am wiring him
not to proceed further in the matter
of my appeal to the supreme court.
but to leave any further proceedings
in the hands of my friends, to be
handled by them as they have been
doing, directly with the president. I
am stating to Mr.. Hogan that in the
event of remote contingency of a re-
versal of my case, I could not UNDER
go the strain of another trial without
very probably fatal results"
Petitions have been circulated by
friends in New Mexico and elsewhere
asking a presidential pardon for the
Harding cabinet officer.
The District of Columbia court of
appeals recently upheld Falls SEN
tence. The next step would have been
application to the supreme court for
a write Of error.
Mr.. Fall interviewed at his ranch
here after action of the court ap-
peals at Washington, said his atti-
tude toward a presidential pardon
was largely passive.
II am an old man." he said. Il am
not guilty Of the crime of which 1
accused. I have fought until I
am worn out, and considerations for
my family impel me to carry the fight
no further.
He said he had no money with
which to pay the fine and explained
he had lost ownership of the ranch
on which he lives, when a mortgage
was foreclosed several years ago.
