FALL NOTE FOUND
IN M'LEAN PAPERS
100000 Document Almost
Identical With That
in Oil Scandals.

A note for 500, 900, made by Albert
D. Fall in favor of Edward B. Mclean
in November, 1921, was found yesterday
when two Of McLean's safe deposit
boxes at the American Security & Trust
Co. were opened by deputy United States
marshals.
The boxes were opened under court
order at the request of the Ritz Carlton
Hotel, which has sued Mclean for S35,-
600. No money or securities were found
The note was impounded by order of
the United States attorneys Office, but
there was considerable doubt as to
whether it is of any value because the
statute of limitations has run against it.
During the investigation of the oil
scandals by Senator Walsh's investi-
eating committee, Mclean claimed to
have loaned Fall 100000. Later this
was denied, Fall contending he had
been loaned the 100000 by Edward L.
Doheny. The note found in the Nc
Lean box, however, bears date almost
identical with the famous torn note of
the Fall-Doheny case.
The note will be held by the marshal
until it is decided whether McLean's
creditors have legal right to sue for
its payment.

Fire Truck Called
To Get Man Down
From Top of Tree
Worker Saving Limbs Is
Seized With Chills and
Dizzy Spell.

Some tall poplars grow on Fem street,
in the estimation of Jesse Wright, col
ored.
Jesse climbed 50 high into one of
them this morning it took the fire
rescue squad and hook and ladder
company to restore him to terra firma
The colored man was trimming a
poplar for A. M. Hopkins at 1905 Fern
street. He was well up in the tree top,
saving off limbs, when seized with
chills and a dizzy SPELL
1t was matter of 80 feet to the
ground and Jesse's cries brought aid, a
neighbor, H. j. Horner, who climbed up
behind Jesse with bottle of smelling
salts.
Jesse already had roped himself to
the trunk, so he had hand. free for
the smelling salts, which he shifted
while the rescue squad was on the way.
The squad members saw they couldn't
get Jesse down without a long ladder
and sent for a truck company. The
f1remen did the trick in no time.
Jesse revived when his feet reached
the ground, but postponed the compile
tion Of the job.

Senator's Secretary Also Declares
He Did Not Write Introduc-
ton for Address.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
In a statement issued yesterday,
Johnston Avery, secretary to Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Carolina
denied the Senator had read the speech
he placed In the Congressional Record
recently which criticized Senator Bailey
Democrat, of North Carolina
Reynolds withdrew the speech with
public apology, saying he had not read
it and did not know its contents. This
was challenged. however, by Morris A.
Bealle, author, of the speech, who, in
letter to Reynolds yesterday, said the
latter had read it and discussed it.
Following Bealle's letter there were
reports of near break between the two
North Carolina Senators, but neither
would comment.
Avery then issued his statement, say
ing his employer had gone out of the
city land in his absence feel COM
PEELED to make brief reply to the ac-
cusations of Mr.. Morris Bealle."
Senator Reynolds did not read the
Bealle article, and he did not write the
introduction, which paid handsome
tribute to Mr.. Bealle," Avery said He
added that the speech was inserted in
the Record through misunderstanding
between the Senator and himself.

r ISOLATION and cultivation outside
the body of the germ Of leprosy by
DR.. Earle B. Mckinley, dean Of the
i George Washington University Med
ical School, and DR.. Malcom H.
Soule of the University Of Michigan
has Just been announced by the Leon
ard Wood Memorial for the Eradication
of Leprosy.
Previous efforts to do this for the
last go years have consistently failed.
The discovery Is considered the most
important step toward the conquest of
this disease since the introduction of
the chaulmoogra oil treatment about 10
years ago, and may make possible early
diagnosis which will lead to eradication
of the malady.
Germ Discovered in 1872.
The germ believed responsible for
guishable from the germ of tuberculosis,
was discovered by Norwegian bacteri-
ologist in 1872. but he was able to dem
onstrate its existence only in the actual
tissues of lepers. 1t could not be gotten
outside the body and grown m the lab
oratory where it could be studied. The
knowledge that leprosy was germ
disease was of little. practical value un-
til this could be done. Scores of ef-
forts have been made and several
micro-organisms obtained from leprous
tissue have been grown artificially
through several generations, but in each
case tests with animals apparently have
demonstrated that they were not the
organisms responsible for the disease.

reau chiefs and their assistants in Of
flee on non-competitive civil service
status.
Employees Covered In.
This action had the approval of the
Civil Service Commission and more than
$50 of these officials are at present at
work in the bureau it was said.
However, in March, 1882, the COM
mission ruled that such appointments
were subject to competitive examina-
tions and bureau officials Immediately
took steps through an executive order
signed by President Hoover, to cover
in" these employees On the commits
sion's rolls.
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
and other leading Democrats asserted
at that time that the bureaus move
was an effort to give protection to mem
bers of the so-called Hoover Klein
political machine, said to have been in
existence in the bureau
After consultation with the Civil
Service Commission, Harrison obtained
a ruling from Commissioner Campbell
that those employees who had been
"covered-in' could be ousted by similar
executive order.
Will Dust Others.
Prior to Hopkins being relieved from
Office yesterday, Secretary of Commerce
Roper announced he contemplated re-
questing President Roosevelt to issue an
executive order throwing out of work
all executives in the bureau who had
been assigned by Hopkins prior to
March, 1882. and who had not stood
competitive examination.
Roper said he had held conference with
two of the new members of the COM
mission and had obtained their approval
to lay the matter before President
Roosevelt. The request, however, was
held up pending approval by Commits
sioner Wales, who is now reported iii.
The cabinet officer asserted he would
ask Mr.. Roosevelt to issue the order
upon his return to Washington from his
vacation. The order, if issued, will
affect practically every executive posi-
ton in the bureau, officials said.

An Editorial
By KIRK MILLER

Ernie Schaaf dies martyr to professional boxing.
In his scheduled 15round bout with Primo Carnera the
Italian manmountan in New York Friday night, Schaaf
the spot and the honesty of the professional game
New York the spot.
It had been rumored Schaaf was to take a dive.
Schaaf had heard these rumors
He was determined if possible to prove them false.
When he found himself weakening and in difficulty earlier
in the fight with Carnera in such trouble in fact that had
the of fake his ears he would have been
justified in tossing in the towel throwing in the sponge
as is sometimes the custom when fighter whipped beyond
recovery he made superhuman effort to keep going
Thus he left himself susceptible to DEATH by very light
left blow.
Had the persistent of off COLOR preceded the
fight by days. schaaf could have quit honoraby before he
became such easy target for the Grim Reaper
tongued suspicious characters who try to tear down
professional boxing
And more word of this tragedy Of the ring
We did not like the in which Schaafs half owner,
Jack sharky left his protge in New York hospital before
the latter's physical condition fully determined
Sharkey you know worlds heavyweight champion and
though he had financial interest in Schaaf he should
have had enough interest in professional boxing to cancel
his reservations for Miami last Saturday morning and stay
at the bedside Of his haconscious mumbng pugilstc
ward and brother of Of course he could have done
Schaa good but could have made the grand gesture Of
personal interest.
Do you think Jack Dempsey Jim Corbett would have
left fighter partially in their charge and sailing their ban
ner, more dead than alive?
Which leaves Jack Sharkey the worlds most thoughess
and il-advised crusader Fistiana has ever known

SEEKS SIXTH
WIN IN ROW

George Washington University's
giant basketers, without Forrest
Burgess, their star performer, are
today on their way to Blacks
burg, Va, where tonight the
Colonials meet the Gobblers, of
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
in an important floor game.
Burgess remained in Washing
ton because under Southern Con-
ference rules he is ineligible to
compete in tonight's game.
G. w. hopes to make tonight's
contest a medium through which
it will surpass last years brilliant
record. If the Colonials win, it
will be their sixth straight vic
tory and will be their twelfth
triumph in 16 starts this season.
Last year G. w. ended it's season
with II victories in Is starts.
Bill Noonan, 6 feet inches
tall, will replace Burgess in the
Colonial lineup in tonight's game.
Terps VS.. v. P. I.
While G.. w. and V. P. I. are
doing battle down in Virginia,
Maryland's Terrapin basketball
team, performing brilliantly of
late, will be opposed to Virginia
Military Institutes five in Ritchie
Coliseum.
Like several other games which
have preceded it, tonight's game
is more or less in the way Of a
revenge contest for Maryland.
Earlier in the season v. M. I.
took q 30-to-29 decision over the
then faltering TerpS. Despite
the result of that game, Mary
land is favored to win over the
Cadets, thus repeating like per-
formances against both Virginia
and Washington and Lee, both
of which teams won over Mary
land in early-seaSon games, only
to lose to the Terps during the
past two weeks.

Would Come East

Well, Turner was IN the great
Mormon center on one occasion
and saw the Young Dempsey
fight, and was greatly i'm
pressed. At the moment Jack
was in a state of financial dol
drums, and though being very
anxious to get East to show
his wares did not have the
wherewithal to make the jump,
and asked Turner to take him
to Baltimore and help him get
o start.
Having about as much as he
could do to keep out of the
Sheriff's clutches himself, Tur-
ner was forced to decline, but
did mention Dempsey to a fight
manager in Baltimore, declaring
he had all the earmarks of be-
ing a world beater, the Balti-
more manager couldn't get ex-
cited. Later, Of course, Turner
and Dempsey met on many oc-
casions, never without Jack re
minding Joe he had passed up
q worlds champion.
Joe had been asked to talk
about wrestling, particularly his
own background, which stretches
over a period of 80 years when
he had his first match with a
playmate behind the little old
wooden school house out near
Sligo, Prince Georges county,
Md. It lasted for two hours and
Joe won.

D. {. RING BILL

Legalization of amateur boxing
in the District of Columbia is near
ing a successful conclusion more
and more every day what with
the passage yesterday by the
House of the Hartley bill to per-
nit the charging of admission to
supervised amateur bouts in the
Capital.
The Hartley measure is ex-
pected to be showed to the Sen
ate at the next District Day,
February 20, and little opposition
is anticipated.
The Hartley bill distinguishes
amateur boxing from professional
prize fighting, which is prohibited
under the penal code of the Dis
trict, and admissions may be
charged to all bouts under the
supervision of a commission of
three which will be set up, one
commissioner to be representative
of the Police Department.

The New York Giants have
now reached the stature Of a
half-grown Singer midget. They
have been shrinking in size for
years and only the strongest sort
of glandular treatment by DR..
Bill Terry will make them grow
again.
If Doc Terry could find some
new blood to inject into the
Giants, they might yet rise to
their former status, but at the
moment the patient seems hope
less.
The Giants have more troubles
than a hypochondriac ever
dreamed of. Their catching is
pretty good but the pitching is
rather sad, the infield shaky and
the outfield just $3.50.
Hubbell Only Hurler
Gus Mancuso should do a fair
job behind the plate, but moving
out to the mound We find Carl
Hubbell and, and, well, Carl Hub
bell. The slim left handler is
the only reliable workman the
Giants have.
Bell is just another lad with
glove. Luque is old and will
be used only for relief. Fitz
slipped badly last year. Parmalee
is wild man. Schumacher is
an in and outer. Spencer was
not so hot with the Pirates.
Starr has yet to make good and
Shores has still to prove he can
come back. If Terry can get
anything worth while out Of that
bunch he's a wonder.
Terry himself is Al. But can
Critz come back at second and
will his arm be okay? Will
Jackson's knee stay in place?
Will Vergez have a good year
after falling down last season?
These are three real problems
and should the answer to any Of
them be negative. the Giants
would be hopeless indeed.
