WHITE HOUSE is
CASTLES copy
HOOVER FINDS
Presidents Hobby Leads to
Discovery of Mansions
Origin.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press ST. II Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Pres-
ident Hoover has found a new
hobby-tracing the history Of the
White House and its conglomera-
ton Of furnishings which decorators
call a Junk pile"
The executive has discovered that
the mansion is an unfinished copy
Of the old fairy castle in England.
Originally its rectangular form
was to comprise the center of a
building three times as large as the
existing ediflce. There were to be
two wings Of equal size on each end
It's dimensions would have MADE it
a palace equal in Importance to the
homes Of royalty in Europe.
The building is still awaiting con
clusion Of the work At either end
on the second floor are tiny rooms
while the hall runs the full length
from wall to wall. This peculiarly
first gave Mr.. Hoover the clew from
which he developed conclusively the
original plans Of the builders.
He knew the rooms were too small
for any practical use, and out o
keeping with the rest of the foo
plan. Later he learned they wer
to have been halls connecting tn
main building with the wings.
AS the rooms are ample to car
for presidential family and to pro
vide comforts for social entertain
ments, there is no suggestion nov
that the building ever will be fin
ished. The grounds also have beeI
narrowed down by the treasury an
state departments to such exten
that the wings could not be con
structed without interfering will
this general layout.
But something is being done abou
the White House furniture. Piec

ALBERT FALLS
PARDON HOPES
APPEAR BRIGHT
Believe Owen Roberts viii
Approve Freedom on
Bribery Count.

By United Pyess
WASHINGTON, May 5.--Albert B.
Fall NAV have a good chance Of
obtaining pardon on the charge of
bribery. for which he stands con-
victed. It is believed in some cir
cles here, due to his age and fail
ing health.
While his pardon appeal will be
passed upon finally by President
Hoover, It will be a member Of the
supreme court who probably will
make the decision. That justice is
owen j. Roberts, who as special
government counsel, prosecuted Fall.
Pardon applications usually are
referred to the judges and prc-ecu-
tors.
Friends Of Roberts said today that
he had conducted the governments
case throughout without malice, and
believed his calm, judicious spirit
might influence him in favor Of a
pardon for the former cabinet mer.-
Der.
1t was held unlikely, however,
that Fall would be able to escape
paying the 100000 fine which is
part Of his sentence, unless he went
to the length Of taking a pauper's
oath.
His finances are said to be depict
ed, the money he obtained from
Harry F. Sinclair and E. L. Doheny
having been swallowed up largely
by his improbable Tres Ritos ranch
in New Mexico.
His proposal to ask for a pardon
was looked upon here as acceptance
Of the jury's verdict in his case,
despite the fact that he and his
family have maintained from the
1rst defiant attitude and have
insisted upon his innocence.
Another trial would mean his
death. he is said to feel, and the
unspoken corollary Of that is that
a year in prison would be equally
fatal. Whether the federal gov
eminent will be willing to pardon
him in order to prevent that event.
uality remains to be seen.

 For the preliminary contest, the High School Freshmen will play the Eighth Grade. The young sters, who will represent the High School in the next three or four years to come, will demonstrate their future possibilities in this game. This game will start at 7:3O o'clock.
