FALLS FORTUNE
BLED IN FIGHT :
FOR ACQU|TTAL
| Haven't Any Money,
Claim of Once Wealthy
Man in CIemenCy Fight.
This is the last Of three articles which
give a glimpse Of A. B. Fall. former See
rotary Of the Interior. as he is today.

United Press staff Correspondent
THREE RIVERS, N. M, May IL.
There was a note of hopeless
fnality in the voice of Albert B.
Fall, former secretary Of Interior
today as he declared: Il can not
possibly pay the fine
once considered wealthy, Fall has
spent virtually all he had in fight
ing the charge that he accepted a
bribe in the oil lease case.
Even part of his insurance money
has gone to pay attorney fees, his
family said. The ranch he lives on
is no longer his.
81 can't be bled any more. 1
haven't the money Fall said. he
did not know whether he would
take a pauper's oath or what action
he would be forced to if the court
insisted he had to pay the 100000
fine.
Oil Broke Health
He also has been sentenced to a
year in the penitentiary, but his
friends are seeking clemency for
him on account of his age and i'll
ness.
"The doctors say can not make
another trip to Washington" was
Falls reply to a question as to what
would happen if the friends failed.
Near his bed are stands contain
ing medicine bottles, glasses, and
spoons. He is given heart Stinu-
liant twice day.
But I have done things before
that my doctors said was not able
to do" he added, in regard to his
physicians orders. He recalled how
he was brought into the courtroom
at one of his trials in wheel chair,
and insisted on continuing with the
trial.
"The climate in Washington al
ways was hard on me-" Fall said.
"I attended the first cabinet meet
ings in 1920 bandaged from my
waist to my throat. My right lung
has been bad for years"
Fall had planned to retire from
the cabinet when he was 81 years
of age, practice law for perhaps four
years and gain enough money to re-
tire at the age of 65. The oil in
vestigations and trials broke both
his health and reputation and addi-
tional years as an attorney were
then out of the question.
Doheny Owns Ranch Home
The 600 ,0OO-acre ranch where Fall
lives quietly in the hope of pro-
longing his life, now is owned by E.
L. Doheny, oil man charged jointly
with the former secretary in the oil
cases.
Doheny and Fall became friends
years ago when they prospected in
New Mexico. Fall later turned to
cattle and politics, while Doheny
found oil and millions.
More than a year ago, Downey be-
came the owner of the Fall ranch
at a foreclosure sale. The same
100000 that Doheny and Fall
claimed was a loan while pros
ecutors charged it was bride for
Fall, was the basis of Doheny's fore
closure of Doheny's mortgage On the
ranch.

SOAPLESS BATHS
RULE IN RUSSIA
Those Thronging Public
Houses often Beat Bodies
to Open Pores.

MOSCOW, August IS GA great
part of Soviet Russia's population has
TO go out for its bath.
The public bath house, an institution
in old Russia, continues just as impor-
tant fixture in the new.
Men, women and children still make
their way in great numbers through the
streets to the ''bahns," carrying towels
and clean clothing.
The rapid population increase in
Moscow and other large centers has
created demand which present bath
ing facilities are unable 20 supply and
an increase in their number is planned.
Choice Of Three Glasses.
In the better public baths men have
the choice Of three classes, ranging
from the luxury Of a swimming pool
shower and tub to the simplicity of
buckets of water with which they douse
themselves. Women have only two
classes. and swimming pools for them
are rare.
The price ranges from Is to As
kopeks, with towel extra.
Then there is the de luxe bath, cost
ing roubles (about $3.50, where the
affiuent Russian can surround himself
with the luxury of sumptuously fur
nished three-room bathing apartment.
The chief difficulty for bathers lies
in the shortage of soap, not to be had
here at even the most exorbitant prices.
Many meet the situation by beating
their bodies with bundles Of bircn
twigs, the theory being that this opens
the pores and permits steam or hot
water to complete the cleansing process
Swimming Privileges.
A "first-class" bath, which costs IS
kopeks, gives a man the use of the
swimming pool-after he has had his
bath-and the choice OF tub or shower,
often in a private compartment.
Second-class baths have only showers
or tubs, no swimming pool, and the ac-
commodations are more simple.
In third class, where the bather
stands on bare stone floor, scrubs
himself first and then rinses off with
buckets of water, there is the Russian
equivalent of a Turkish bath.
Here the bather enters a small room
filed with steam and is able to soak as
long as he likes.
Mixed bathing so common up until
q few years ago, now is taboo

Now comes the price war that

some cash thrown in for carry

The price cutting started when
one store, opened six months ago,
advertised 81 house dresses for

still further. The war ended
after the towns other store, in

collect a scent premium for
their trouble.

would seem to be little reason to ex- pect further serious decline of val ues.
 Market Review and Outlook
 Reactionary tendencies in the the presidents plan are largely the result of profit taking sales, based on the thought that the good news being out, it had been discounted for the time being: this is usually the case. There has been no unfa- vorable change, either in the invest ment or in the business situation to warrant any great setback. The public at large, throughout the country, has not yet realized the constructive nature of what is in progress, and has not yet come into the investment field in full strength. Irregularity is likely to continue while matters of such large moment as are now in process of discussion are still unsettled, but the character of the market has greatly altered for the better and marked improve ment is anticipated as the season advances. It is worth while to re- peat what has been said heretofore in these advices-that sound shares can now be bought with a minimum of risk and that the future of the market contains constructive ele- ments which are bound to bring higher prices in the long run, es- pecially as liquidation has been largely completed and the great bulk of stocks is in strong hands.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-11

Wall Street, New York.-Strongly gratified by the success of the presi- dent proposals for a war debt holi- day. the general body of investors and traders are now waiting, with interest and expectation, the prob able outcome of further plans for rehabilitation of foreign, and par ticularly German, conditions. The postponement of the debt payments has laid the foundation for pro- nounced progress toward a better condition of things. That this bet ter state of affairs will have to be the product of continued effort is now generally recognized, and nat urally renders the market sensitive and temperamental. Notwithstand- ing temporary setbacks, abundance of buying power, however, is pres ent, and awaits only definite assur- ance of good prospects to be applied. As soon as late summer reports af- ford positive evidence of a strength ening of trade, much better market conditions may be anticipated. There may, and probably will. be a good deal of the usual summer dull ness during this month and August, and some of the earnings reports for the first half year will be anything but inspiring reading, but it must be remembered that they will relate to conditions that are past. The prospects for the second half of 1881 hold out far greater assurance of progress than has been offered since the collapse of 1929. There

One auto out of every ten of the 1922 machines inspected on Safety Lane" was found in perfect condi- tion for operating under the state laws of Connecticut. This ratio was rather convincing evidence that either operators are indifferent to the working condition of their cars or are in ignorance of the minor fea- lures of the state motor vehicle laws As the large number of cars were driven voluntarily to the place of in- spection officials of the Automobile Club of New Haven county, Chamber of Commerce and police department feel highly pleased with the result of the four-day campaign which closed yesterday afternoon.

The defects as found by experts will undoubtedly be remedied at once, although there is nothing compulsory about the in- structions given by the conductors o1 the inspection.
 The campaign was carried out here with a view of reducing accidents and protecting the lives of pedes- trians, particularly children.
