Former Secretary in
Harding Address

washington, June 17.-(P)-Albert
B. Fall apparently had no hope for
executive clemency wednesday as q
result of the remarks OF President
Hoover Tuesday in dedicating the
Harding memorial at Marion, ONO.
The former secretary of the inter-
Tor In the Harding cabinet was indl-

nounced those who betrayed him:
Fall is at Ell Paso, Texas, awaiting

600 bribe from Edward L. Doheny,
wealthy oil man, in the leasing OF
government oil lands. He also was
fined 500, 900. His efforts to have
his conviction set aside failed wnen
the supreme court refused to review
his case.
Although the president mentioned
no names Ii speaking at the former
presidents memorial. he said men had
betrayed Harding and 1t was later
proved in the courts of the land that
these men had betrayed not alone the
friendship and trust of their staunch
and loyal friend, but they had be-

TOMB REDED|CATED
BY HOOVER SPEECH
Eternal Principles Stated by
Emancipation Remain, Presi-
dent Says

Springfield, ILL.,, June .l7.-Re
Standing before the tomb Of Lincoln,
President Hoover Wednesday called
for q rededication Of the citizenry To
the service and ideals Of the nation.
The eternal principles of truth,
justice and right, never more clearly
stated than by Lincoln, remain the
solvent for the problems and per-
plexittes Of every age and of our day"
he said in dedicating the remodeled
tomb OF the Civil war time president,
1T Is to those, who, like Lincoln,
have made these principles serve the
needs of mankind that the world pays
its homage. At his shrine we light
the torch Of our rededication to the
service and ideals of the nation which
he loved and served with the last full
measure Of devotion"
Shrine To Americans
This, the tomb of Lincoln" he
said, lis a shrine to all Americans
The stone and marble of all of our
great national shrines are more than
physical reminders OF the mighty
past Of VI country. They are SYM
bols Of things Of the spirit. Through
the men and deeds they commemor-
ate they renew our national ideals
and our aspirations.
Nothing that we may say here can
add to the knowledge or devotion of
u people to the memory Of Abra-
ham Lincoln. Nothing we may do
can add to his stature in history. All

Marmarth, N. D., June 17.-(R1-
Belief that Hans J. Ryland, a sales
man for the Auto Electric Supply
company Of Minneapolis. wa muir
dered June 8 as he drove from this
town toward Bowman county. N. D.,
grows in the minds of officials and
private detectives who are attempting
to gain trace Of the missing sales
man.
Ollie ]. Hedges. Milwaukee railway
detective engaged in the manhunt'
thinks the finding of his BODY In q
Bad Lands gulch somewhere between
Marmarth and Rhame may mark the
end of the Today search.
There are reasons why Ryland
might have desired to have dropped
out Of sight, but the clues available
to officers spell murder. in their
opinion.
Ryland left Bowman June 3. after
he had picked up a passenger on the
main street Of Bowman. N. D.. and
apparently drove west.
Shortly thereafter Detective Hedges
and Fallon county, Mont, Officers
found a quantity Of auto accessories
hidden behind a schoolhouse six miles
west of Baker.
Later a search revealed a suit case
of his clothes had been found east OF
Baker, Mont. Further search re-
vealed that some Of his clothing had
been disposed of in a toilet near the
Baker schoolhouse.
The supposition which officers are
working is that he was slain In his
own car before he reached Slope
county. Letters found in his clothing
indicated that he had been paying
alimony to a woman. They further
revealed that he lately had had diff
ficulty with his employers, that he
had not been making full remit
tances, and that the company had
asked his arrest, according to Of
ficials.
That is enough, the law believes, to
have forced him to leave the COM
munity, but If that is the answer to
the mystery Of his disappearance,
why, officers ask, did he:
l.. Throw away all OF his clothing.
even his shoes. .
2. Dump his suitcase this side OF
Baker and his load OF supplies the
other side Of that town?
3. Not take more pains In secreting
his clothes than he did his supplies?
The wilful disappearance theory Is
not logical, says the law, which In
sists he was murdered in his own ma
cine.
The Bad Lands in this area are be-
ing searched for his body or for fur
ther evidence to unravel the strange
tale.
