 FALL MAY BE
 CHANGED NOW
Justice Daley Makes Sug- gestion; Case to Be
 Decided Monday

WASHINGTON, D. C., July H. Former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall has been denied sus- pension of his one year in jail term by Justice Bailey of the District of Columbia Supreme Court.
 Justice Bailey did not issue an order for immediate execution of the sentence and said he would entertain a motion to modify Falls sentence to add one day to the year given him Justice Bailey said he would pass on the matter next Monday.
 Justice Bailey said that If one day was added to the sentence this would give the Attorney General power to designate the prison in which Falls sentence would be served.
 The defense attorneys replied they would communicate with their client and inform the Judge as soon as possible whether Fall would consent to the motion.
 The Government seeks immediate imprisonment of Fall Attorneys for Fall said it would be fatal per- haps, for the former Secretary to come to Washington and serve his time here, on account of his poor , health.

LAS VEGAS. July 11.-Hand over hand 50 feet down a rope dangling over the precipice that, faces Black canyon-that's all in days work for the men engaged in the pre- liminary work of building Hoover dam.
 It's the way they go to work and it's the way they go home from work, for the point where they are engaged is in the middle of the cliff some 60 to 70 feet above the murky flow of the Colorado river.
 They are drilling and blasting out a niche where will be anchored one end of large cable tramway reach ing across the big stream.
 Eleven Cable Trains
 A total of about II of these cabl- es will be installed between the bluff walls of Black Canyon to furnish fast transportation from one side ot the river to the other. The first is being cut less than mile upstream from the actual dam site.
 A rope more than 100 feet long hangs from the cliff above. To gel to the scene of their labors the jack hammer men must cross the river by boat, climb up the cliff, ther lower themselves over the precipict 50 feet down the sheer rock walls ! At night they go down the rope to a waiting boat. a A compressed air feed pipe hnt was stretched across the river from the more accessible rim on the Ne. vada side, where large compressor' are run.
 Precarious Business { First cable was strung across the 300-foot chasm, then the two inch compressor air pipe wa: pushed across, section by section i by men hanging precariously to slim cable suspended below th' main cable, on wire loops.

 For the whole town is going Spanish this fall, in dress. cus- toms and manners, recalling olden days when the early pueblo was ruled and colored by Spain and later by Mexico.
 Sombreros, serapes, sashes and spurs will be the common apparel of the well dressed man during the ten days of carnival and spec tacle, and even calzoneros, those tight fitting, bell-bottom pants bells all the way down the outside seams, in fact--will be considered the height of fashion.

 President von Hindenburg stands unshakeably as ever behind the Chancellor. Both believe an over- whelming majority of the German people stand behind them in de- clining to buy foreign aid at tho price of political concessions.
 However the Chancellor and For eign Minister Curtius may go to the limit for conciliation.
 It is insisted here that no Gov. ernment would last one day if it accepted what Germany calls a fantastic French plan for Ger. manys recovery"

CHICAGO WILL CUT EXPENSES
 FOUR MILLIONS
City in Financial Crisis; Drastic Steps Are to
 Be Taken

CHICAGO, July H. Confronted with an acute financial crisis, Chi cago's civic leaders have taken dras- tic steps to slash public expendl-f lures.
 First. a sweeping order com nelling every city employee from Mayor Anton J. Cermak down to take a two-week vacation without pay was issued by Colonel A. A. spraeue. chairman of the special executive cabinet, and commissioner of public works.
 Simultaneously every head of city department was instructed to effect a ten per cent reduction III all expenditures during the last six months of the present year.
 It was estimated that these two moves will save the city approxl- mately four million dollars.
 Municipal Bankruptcy
 But, the enforced vacations and the reductions in expenses marked only the beginning of renewed campaign to save Chicago from municipal bankruptcy which the city faces as the result of prolonged @taxpayers strike" coupled with the lavish expenditures of a few years past.
 Efforts have been launched by influential officials and citizens of Chicago and Cook County to bring together all vitally concerned agen- cies in a unified attempt to mould a coordinated program for presen- tstion to Governor Emmerson, who declares he is willing to summon a snecial session of the state legis- 1ature to deal with the crisis.
 The governor, however, said he would not call special sesion, ..unless some remarkable scheme is submitted to him. The regular se--.on of the legislature repulseo all efforts to enact laws looking to the relief of Chicago and Cook County.
 Tough Proposition
 Unless some solution of the com plicated problem is reached within the near future, all city depart ments and all county agencies, even the public schools, will be unable to function in the face Of depleted Areasuries and exhausted credit re- sources. Mayor Cermak and other officials have time and again point' ed to the threatening clouds of h. solvency that are gathering ovel the second largest city of the coun' try.
 The present crisis is traced al rectly to the action of the stalt
