Friends of Pennsylvania Sound
Out Sentiment Among West

WASHINGTON, June 2.-(F-Senti-
ment among west senator's over the
prospects of Governor Pinchot. Penn
sylvania, becoming a candidate Tor
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton next year Is being sounded out
by some OF bis friends here.
While the senators receiving the
overtures have declined to divulge the
names OF the Pennsylvanian's friends,
the approaches precipitated much
conjecture at the capitol. The SEN
ators would not discuss the matter
openly.
Previously speculation involving
Pinchot ana other Republican indie
pendents has been circulated. This,
however. appeared to be the first in
dication that a candidate may enter
the field against President Hoover
since former Senator France, Mary
land, announced his candidacy.
Republican independents from
northwestern states have not ap-
proved a number of the administra-
tons policies. Leaders Of this group
have been urged by Senator Brook
hart, Iowa, to enter the Republican
presidential race in 1882. He also
suggested Ptnchot a q possible candi-

ALBERT FALL HAS
TWO CHANCES LEFT
Opportunity for Presidential
Pardon or Suspended Sen
tence Remain

Washington, June 2.-tR-Failing
to obtain relief through the supreme
court, Albert B. Fall Tuesday had two
narrow avenues Of escape from q year
in prison and q $4,000 fine remain
ing.
The interior secretary in Harding's
|. cabinet wa refused a review by the
highest tribunal Monday of his con-
viction of accepting a 100000 bride
from Edward L. Doheny, wealthy OIL
man, leasing government oil lands.
II Fall receives a presidential par
don, he will be relieved Of the entire
penalty, but II that fails there re-
mains the hope Of his friends the pri-
son sentence will be suspended be-
cause of his age and i'll health.
At the white house 1t was said no
appeal on behalf of Fall had been re-
ceived and if one were made, 1T would
follow the usual course and be sent
to the justice department TOR recon-
mendations.
Falls friends found little comfort
In that, but the recommendation OF
the trial Judge at the time Of his con-
yiction led them to believe his
chances for a suspension OF the sen-
tence good. :.
Justice Hitz, the trial Judge, said
then II Fall were to come before him
for commitment the jail sentence
would not be imposed because OF
, Falls physical condition.
Few legal formalities remain be-
fore the question Is settled.

REV. C.. F. STRUTZ
TO Be PASTOR OF
JAMESTOWN Church
'Nestor' Of Bismarck Clergy
men to Leave City After 10
Years Residence Here

Rev. G. F. Strutz, described by his
friends in the Bismarck Ministerial
Association as the nestor of the city's
evangelists, will leave Wednesday for
Jamestown where he will make. his
future home.
Rev. Strutz has lived In Bismarck
10 years which is believed to be a
longer period than any man now &C
tive in the ministry here. For nine
years he was pastor of the First
Evangelical church and for the last
four years has been presiding elder
of the Bismarck district.
At Jamestown he will assume the
paStorate OF st. Paul's Evangelical
church.
Members Of the ministerial asso-
citation gathered at the Prince Hotel
Monday Dor for a luncheon honor
ing Rev. Strutz, who was m of the
organizers of that body. Short talks
were given by Rev. w. A. Water of
the McCabe Methodist church, Rev.
Floyd Logee Of the Presbyterian
church. Rev. E. l.. Jackson of the
First Baptist church, Rev. Opie S.
Rindahl of the Trinity Lutheran
church. Rev. Emil Benzon of the
Swedish Lutheran church and Rev.
Ira Herzberg of the First Evangelical
church. Rev. Strutz gave a brief re-
Spouse.
The departing cleric said he Is
sorry to leave Bismarck because Of the
pleasant associations and close friend
ships he has enjoyed here. Never
has be known a finer body of minis
tiers or men than those in the local
ministerial association, he said Tues
day. and nowhere is there a city
with more pleasant business people
or finer citizens than Bismarck.
One advantage in moving to James,
town, Rev. Strutz said. is that the
change will enable him to keep his
family together during their college
years. Miss Marion Strutz, who has
attended North Central college at
Napoleon, ILL.,, for the last two years,
will matriculate at Jamestown college
next fall ss will Miss Goldie Strutz,
his youngest daughter.
Rev. Strutz will be succeeded as
presiding elder of the Bismarck dis
trict by Rev. A. w. Heidinger. Alice,
