Falls Hope of Escaping
Jail Term Vanishes

whom he believed were his de-
voted friends. 1t was later
proved in the courts of the land
that these men had betrayed,
not alone the friendship and
trust of their stanch and loyal
friend, but they betrayed their
country. That was the tragedy
of the life of Warren Harding.
There are diSlOyaltieS and
there are crimes which shock
our Sensibilities, which may
bring suffering upon those who
are touched by their immediate
results. But there is no dis
loyalty and no crime in all the
category Of human weaknesses
which compares with the fail
ure Of prObity in the conduct
of public trust. Monetary loss
or even. the shock to moral
senSibilities is perhaps a pass
ing thing, but the breaking
down of the faith Of a people
in the honesty of their govern
ment and in the integrity of
their institutions, the lowering
Of respect for the standards of
honor which prevail in high
places, are crimes for which
punishment can never atone"
Would Be Different
Mr.. Hoover probably would fins
it difficult to pardon his ex-cabi
net colleague after those state
ments.
Justice Bailey further explained
however, that if, Fall went tt
prison, his condition became
worse, the executive department
of the Government-the Presi
dent and the Department of Jus
tice-could take action.
Fall will be notified of the
judges decision by wire and hiE
attorney will give an answer ir
court on Monday morning. What
might result if Fall refuses tc
have the sentence amended is 8
matter of conjecture.

Absolutely Nothing
To Say" Says Fall

Ell PASO, Tex, July II GN.SO.
Albert B. Fall, former Secretary
Of the Interior, refused to see
newspaper men today, and mem
bers of his family said he had
absolutely nothing to say about
the order of a Washington court
committing him to Jail for a year.
Newspaper men conveyed to the
Fall household news of the deci-
sion of Justice Jennings Bailey,
of the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court, that Fall is phySi-
cally able to serve the one-year
Jail sentence imposed on him on
charge of accepting a 500, 900
bribe in connection with the
leasing of naval oil lands.
Mrs. Fall, who talked for her
husband, said Mr.. Fall had moth
ing to say, but that he might"
see newspaper men later in the
day, when he had heard from his
attorney in washington.

Appeals Unsuccessful
He was convicted two years ago,
but final action on his case was
delayed by unsuccessful appeals
to the District Court of Appeals
and to the United States Supreme
Court.
With Hogan declaring that
| prison would end his life, an eX-
animation by Army physicians at
Fort William Beaumont, Ell PaSo,
Tex, was ordered late in June,
The physicians diagnosed Falls
illness as hardening of the
arteries, degeneration Of heart
muscles, pleurisy, arthritiS, and
inactive pulmonary tuberculosis
When ktlee Pomerene, special
Government counsel in the "oil
scandal cases, appeared before
Justice Bailey two days ago, he
suggested that Fall be confined
in Jail at Ell Paso. This sUgges-
ton was made because physicians
asserted that Falls tuberculosis
would become active if moved to
the humid climate of Washing
ton.
Made No Predictions
While Army physicians made
no prediction as to whether Fall
could Withstand confinement in
jail, Hogan presented a report
by three Washington physicians,
based on the diagnosis. The
physicians comprised board
named by the court to examine
Fall during his trial two years
ago.
All agreed that imprisonment
of the 7O-year-Old ex-cabinet Off
Ger might shorten his life and
aggravate his illness.
With today's decision is be-
lieved to have fled the last de-
spairing hope of Falls friends Of
escaping Jail.
After the United States Supreme
Court affirmed his conviction,
there remained just two avenues
of escape for Fall. One was for
the trial court to suspend the
sentence in view of the defend
ants health. The other was a
Presidential pardon.
Marion Speech Ended 1t
Virtually all hope Of executive
clemency disappeared after PreSl-
dent Hoover's speech at Marion,
Ohio, on June Is, dedicating the
memorial to Warren G. Harding.
In that speech, President
Hoover denounced with unusual
vigor. those of the Harding Ad-
ministration who betrayed" their
chief. without mentioning any
names, but with obvious reference
to the oil scandals, Mr.. Hoover
said:
"I was one of those who ac-
companied the late President
on his fatefuI trip to Alaska.
Those who were his companions
on that journey realized full
well that he had Overstrained
even his robust strength in the
gigantic task which confronted
him during the previous two
years. And we came also to
know that here was q man
whose soul was being scared
by a great disillusiOnment. We
saw him gradually weaken not
only from physical exhaustion,
but from mental anxiety.

realization that he had been be-
