NEW YORK, Oct "a.
Moses Rabinowitz looked like character who had
stepped from the pages of history His beard long
and unruly, and his hair had not been clipped in so
long time that it stood out from his neck like dip
on a scenic railway. Had he walked up Broadway the
crowds would have followed him for blocks But ac-
cordng to Bert Kalmer, this knew nothing of
Broadway. The Ghetto good enough for him.
Yes, my friends. Moses had come to New York from
Russia at the age of 2O and for another 20 years he
had known nothing except the few blocks he covered
each and every day of his life. AS far he
cerned, that was all that mattered. He knew more.

By Trade, a CobbIer

By Trade, a CobbIer
BY trade, Moses was a cob
bier. He didn't own the shoe
shop; he was merely a paid
worker. Yet he earned his SIS
week, and that was more
than sufficient for his needs.
He sat near the window of the
store and nodded to those
whom he knew. Throughout
the day he hammered away.
And as he hammered, he sang
his ancient songs. A happy
man, Moses. The only thing
ne had to watch was that he
didn't nail his beard to another
mans shoe.
Strange, then, that into this
mans life should come John
Jones, executive in the employ
ment of the Paramount Pic
lures Company, on Long Is
land. Yet that's the way those
things happen in the glamor-
GUS city of New York.
Into the shop one early
morning bounced Mr.. John
Jones. The movie man looked
down at Moses Rabinowitz and
wagged his head happily.
"TheI very man." he asserted
rapidly. You're the very
man."
Moses shifted uneasily in his
chair. What manner of man
was this?
"Vot's de matter Wit you?"
he inquired. "Vot you talking
about?"
Mr.. Jones laughed aloud.
They Make an Offer
"Well, WELL" he cried, "if I
haven't been forgetting myself.
It's the excitement of meeting
you, I suppose. Here, let me
introduce myself. Here's my
card. My name is John Jones,
and I'm located over at the
Paramount studios on Long
Island. May I ask your name?"
Mr.. Rabinowitz told him. A
trifle obviously, to be sure, but
he told him. The movie man
leaned closer.
''Mr. Rabinowitz," he chirped,
Il might as we'll come to the
point as rapidly as possible.
We've been searching for just
such a man as you for the past
month. You'd be a riot in the
part I have in mind. You're
the absolute type. How would
you like to go in the movieS?"

Possibility that Gunderson was

was blasted yesterday afternoon
when Sheriff Campbell found that
the man is Ernest Brandt, now at
the. county hospital recovering from
exhaustion which resulted from his
trip into the Chocolate Mountain
foothills, near where Gunderson is
supposedly lost.
Last hopes for Gunderson's life
were fading rapidly today. Unless
the old prospector found some wa

have died before this of thirst. Of
ficers believe. If he is not dead of
thirst, lack of food would probably
cause his death.

FALL PETITIONS
SUPREME COURT
! TO REVIEW CASE
Former Secretary Seeks
To Have Conviction In
Oil Case Overruled.

WASHINGTON, May 81. U.P-
Albert B. Fall today asked the su-
preme court to review his conviction
on a charge of accepting a 100000
bride from Edward L. Doheny.
This step will enable the court to
act next Monday on the appeal of
the former interior secretary, and
may mean the beginning of a year
in jail for him. He was convicted
on the bribery count in connection
with the Elk Hills, Cal. oil lease
during the Harding administration
Provisions has been made by the
court to act on applications for re-
view in criminal cases up to The last
minute before its summer recess.
Only If the court finds the question
of law involved sufficiently grave
for the hearing of argument will it
postpone final decision until
autumn.
Falls attorney, Frank j. Hogan,
raised numerous questions regarding
the procedure under which his
client was convicted
These involve the power of Fall
to make any concessions in connec-
ton with the oil leases, validity of
the indictment, right of the trial
court to excuse a qualified juror at
the trial, right of the trial Judge
to discuss recommendations of
clemency, and the question of
whether previous acquittal of Fall
and Doheny under an indictment
growing out of the same transac-
tion did not already decide the issue
of good faith.
Should the court decide to review
the case probably three of its men,
bers will be disqualified from Sit
ting. Chief Justice Hughes was a
fellow cabinet member with Fall,
Justice Harlan Fiske Stone served
as encouragement while the case
was pending, and Justice Owen j.
Roberts was one Of the special coun-
sci appointed to prosecute the oil
cases.
Fall is at present on his New
Mexico ranch to rehabilitate which,
he claims, he borrowed money that
figured in the oil scandals. He is
reported to be in ill-health. and
friends question whether he would
survive Jail sentence.

FEAR SCIENTISTS
IN BALLOON MAY
HAVE SUCCUMBED
Craft Seen Floating In
Helpless Manner After
Time Limit Exhausted.

PARTENKIRCHEN, Bavaria, May
27. U.P)-Prof. Auguste Piccard's
balloon was sighted at p. m. to-
day at an altitude of 1000 meters
G3,120 feeb and remaining in a
stationary position.
Aeronautic authorities were
astonished that Prof. Picard had
not pulled the rip cord which would
release the gas in the balloon bag
and cause descent, and they ex-
pressed fear that he and his COM
panion. Charles Kipfer are dead.
Only enough oxygen, vital to sus-
tain life at that altitude, was car
ried in the cage for 10 hours, and
late today that time limit was long
past. The balloon was sighted at
4:30 p. m. drifting over the town of
Murnau, on Lake Staffel, near Her.
zogsstand mountain. south of Mu-
nich. The balloon was going east
northeast toward the mountain
districts, with thunderstorms
threatening.
Officials of the Riedlinger bal
loon works here, which built the
balloon, were perturbed. They real
lied that the scientists flew for a
part of the time, before reaching
the upper attitudes, without draw
ing on their oxygen, but estimated
that the supply must have been ex-
hausted by now. Most of the after
noon the balloon drifted back and
forth over south Germany, making
no apparent effort to descent, SO
that it was supposed the occupants
were unable to do SO.
AUGSBURG, Bavaria, Germany,
May 81 U.p)-An altitude record
for free balloons was believed to
have been set today by Prof
Auguste Picard, who, with a COM
panion, rose from the earth just be-
fore dawn, seeking to penetrate the
upper air to heights unreached by
man.

amateur meteorologist near Lake
