COURT TO APPOINT
FALL EXAMINERS.
Judge Countermands Order
Naming Two Doctors on
Basis of Prior Report.
by the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Albert B. Fall is to be examined soon
BY two physicians appointed by Chief
Justice Wheat of the District Supreme
Court to determine whether he Is able
to come to Washington to begin term
Of year in prison.
The appointments are to be made as
boon as possible. The examination Of
the former Interior Secretary is to take
place in FL Paso. Tex.
Order Is Countermanded.
Yesterday Judge Wheat designated
Drs. Felix Miller and R. B. Homan Of
El Paso to examine the former cabinet
member, but countermanded the order
upon learning they previously had ex-
pressed the opinion Fall was in no con-
dition to undertake the trip.
Fall was convicted OF accepting q
100000 bride from Edward L. Doheny,
wealthy oil man, in leasing Government
petroleum reserves. He was sentenced
to q year in jail and to pay $1,000
fine. The United States Supreme Ccurt
refused to review the conviction and q
mandate, ordering execution of the SEN
tence, has been handed down.
Ready for Examination.
Atlee Pomerene, special Government
prosecutor in the oil lease cases, sIg-
geSted the appointment of Govern
nent physician to District Attorney
Rover, as we'll as Frank Hogan, Falls
attorney. From FL Paso, where Fail Is
staying, came word the former Secre-
tary had no objection to a physical
examination by Government physicians.
"When the doctors say I can go,
I'll CO." he was quoted.
Four FL Paso physicians previously
reported Fall in no condition to make
the trip. For several years he has been
in i'll health spending most of his time
at his Three Rivers, N. Mex, home.
He was i'll at the time OF the bribery

about the political and technical side
Of the question. but has had no oppor-
tunities yet to go deeply into its bud
getary side.
Budgets Topic for Farley.
The budgetary limitation of arma-
ments will form an important part OF
the discussion at the next General
Disarmament Conference, and Mr.
Gibson is taking the opportunity OF
getting better acquainted with this
subject at the Rapidan Conference.
Neither Secretary of Navy Adams nor
the chief of the naval operations
Admiral William " Pratt. believes that
under the present circumstances any
cuts in the American naval building
program can be made. Both are
emphatic in stating Government econ
omies must not in any way jeopardize
national safety.
AS it is. the Navy is complaining that
its strength is far below the London
treaty level because Congress has failed
to appropriate the necessary funds for
the new cruisers and airplane carriers
Of the 1885 program. Consequently any
saving that may be made can come only
from the shore establishments and pos
sibly by not commissioning the new
training ship Arizona.
Arms Cut Rumor Discounted.
It is said that President Hoover,
while favoring further Army and Navy
reductions, Is fully aware Of the fact
this cannot be unilateral business.
AS long as the other naval powers show
no intention to reduce their navies the
United States must proceed with the
naval program as agreed on in London.
There are no signs that European
powers are going to slow down their
armament building. Only recently the
French Chamber Of Deputies voted
$4,000 900 for new naval construction.
and the Italian government is following
suit.
A. v. Alexander, British first lord of
the admiralty, has stated in several
speeches that should France and Italy
continue to build ships as they have
until now, Great Britain will be COM
PEELED to do the same. He has indi-
Gated that the British Empire, in spite
of its desire to cut down the burden
of ornaments, may be forced to use
the escalator clause and go beyond the
London treaty program.
In view Of these facts, well informed
circles here discount the rumor thai
Mr.. Gibson's presence at the Rapidan
is due to plan Of President Hoover's
to reduce the Navy below the strength
agreed upon in London last year.

Faces Possible s2-Year Term.
Capone faces the possibility of a 81
year penitentiary sentence and a fine of
$4,000 for alleged evasion Of the Gov
eminent income tax
This is the maximum sentence pos
sible II he Is convicted on the charges
en- which he surrendered yesterday, fol-
lowing his indictment by q Federal
grand jury.
He posted a $4,000 bond and was
released. There were two indictments,

two misdemeanor counts and alleged
a Government tax claim Of $2l5 ,08o. As.
The indictments marked the culmi-
nation of two years Of investigation
