FALL FLAT REFUSES BE QUIZZED Stands on Constituent Rights Not to Inculcate Himself WASHINGTON, Feb. CYPRESS Anaheim Territory Now Attracting Oilmen From all Over That the Anaheim territory is attracting muen attention among oil men of the state was further demonstrated here today by the announcement by R. H. Morey, one of the officials of the Garner Oil Corp. of Long Beach, that a group of Whittier and Anaheim business men had completed all details for the immediate drilling of a well on the property of Louis and Minnie Retlich on North Hansen road. Mr. Morey and his associates in the deal have 100 acres under lease in the vicinity of Cypress and their initial operations will be just 1 1-2 miles due east of the Gaddle Well. All necessary papers were placed in escrow with the Anaheim National Bank during the last week, and the material for the Retlich lease which will be known as Retlich No. 1 has been ordered and the well is to be snudded in on, or before March 20. Morey has had long years of experience in the various fields of California and feels positive there will shortly be discovered one of the biggest pools in the entire Los Angeles basin. Morey came to Los Angeles from the Kern-co. fields where he was connected with the handling of the big Miller & Lux estate properties totalling 200,000 acres in Kern-co. It is understood from reliable sources that Gus Wardman of Whittier, who owned some of the best producers in the Santa Fe Springs field and the man who presented Whittier College with a check for $100,000.00 has recently spent some $80,000.00 to acquire property in this new potential field. The present showings in the Gaddle Well are absolutely perfect, and well posted authorities state that a producer will shortly be drilled in that will make Anaheim one of the busiest spots on the map. Mr. Morey has taken up permanent headquarters in Anaheim and is located at the Valencia Hotel. SEEKING LEASES AT LOS ALIMATOS The purchase of leases by re-TWO HOLDUPS GET $350 AT BUENA PARK D.

Fall's statement to the mittee follows: SEEKING LEASES AT LOS ALIMATOS The purchase of leases by responsible oil companies, big and little, has been followed, near Los Alamitos and Cypress at least, by quests for leases by persons who may or may not be responsible, according to Hugh Connor, postmaster there. Offers have been made repeatedly on the basis of 90 days within which to drill with no bonus or rent unless drilling actually starts. Failure of such people to disclose their identity may mean that they represent dependable concerns which are not yet ready to let it be known who they are, but the term suggests mere irresponsible speculation. Connor intimated. "Everybody" even present or former Texang, is seeking leases of this sort. Connor declared some of the larger companies also had obtained more land, but had no precise information in this connection. Job Denni of Hansen Station vicinity has been approached frequently of late for leases.

Fall appeared before the senate public lands committee today, but flatly refused answer any questions bearing the leasing of oil lands to E. Doheny or Harry F. Sinclair. Fall challenged the rights of the senate committee to examine them concerning the $100,000 and $5,000 loans which he received from Doheny and Sinclair on the ground that the investigation had now been taken out of the hands the senate by the passage of a Walsh resolution authorizing resident Coolidge to proceed in the courts to cancel the leases. The appearance of the former secretary of the interior before the committee today was accomplished only after a special board physicians reported that he was physically able to make the up to the capitol and withstand the committee's cross examination. Immediately after listening to fall's refusal to testify, the committee ordered all persons out of the hearing room and went into an executive session to determine that course to pursue. After a long consultation behind closed doors, the committee nounced that the senate would asked on Monday to go thru a formality of authorizing it to continue the investigation so as to set Fall's objection. On the basis of the belief that its authority would be granted without objection, another subnea was issued ordering Fall to move back on Tuesday to testify. Three reasons were given by fall for refusing to answer questions. These were: 1. Because the resolutions unanimously which the committee is collecting its investigation were altered to have expired at the end of the 67th congress so that the senate committee has no authority. 2. Because the committee has "authority" since it has been charged thru adoption of thelish resolution, and 3. Because, said Fall, "my answers may tend to incriminate." Fall's statement to the committee follows: I decline to answer the questions for the following reasons: LA HABRAN IS FINED $500 AFTER RAID F. K. Erwin La Habra, was fined $500 or 500 days by Judge Cox today following arrest in a raid yesterday when officers claim they found a gallon of liquor and some gambling equipment. D. C.

SINKING Wilson Conscious But Too Weak to Attempt Conversation By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Woodrow Wilson was fighting a battle with death this morning and steadily losing ground. With a courage and a spirit so indomitable that it challenged the admiration of the sorrowful little group about his bedside, the former president survived the long night. And when the dawn of another day flushed up over the quiet red brick house in Sutl, he was still fighting off of the end, still horribly, namely, but always weaker. The following bulletin was issued at 4:30 p.m. by Admiral Grayson: Mr. Wilson's general condition is the same as it was this morning. He is growing steadily weaker. Every bulletin from the haggard and sleepless physicians, every word that came from the relatives who watched helplessly in the sick room, emphasized that the magnificent fight Mr. Wilson is putting up is a fruitless one. Following the issuance of the 11:30 a.m. bulletin which stated that "efforts are directed toward keeping him comfortable." Dr. Grayson was asked: "Does that mean, doctor, that you are making his death as easy as possible?" He hesitated. "Yes," he said. "It looks as tho he may pull thru the day," the admiral added. "But that, of course, is something no one can foretell. His condition might change in a moment." The following bulletin was issued by Admiral Grayson at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Wilson had a fairly restful night, but continues gradually to lose ground. When he had given out the morning message, Dr. Grayson said: Mr. Wilson realizes the fight is ever, but he is making a game just stand. It breaks me all up to see the struggle he is making. "It is impossible to say how long he may last, but he is gradually ebbing away. The end may come at any moment." There were tears in his eyes as $5000 GIVE TO GERMAN RELIEF The German Children's Fund today had reached cally $5000 with the lion of that total being when all the reports are team captains will report this evening, when contributions are anticipated. Last evening the Clerk collected $173.50 patrons. This and other zations have alced ge and their help is much ed by the committee. U. S.

In the daily bob-sled sled Swiss sled turned over enger sustaining a broken Norway captured five first six places in the 18 ler ski race, Niku of Finland ing third. Because the committee has authority since it has been charged thru adoption of the resolution and because said Fall, "my answers may tend to incriminate" Fall's statement to the committee follows: I decline to answer the questions for the following reasons on the following grounds: The committee is conducting investigation under senate resolution 54 agreed to April 21, 1922, in the 67th congress, and state resolution 294, agreed to May 15, 1922, in the same concessions and further by virtue of state resolution 54, agreed to by Senate on February 5, 1922, being the same congress, and I cannot consider that, acting under these resolutions or under the last mentioned resolution, which authorizes the committee to sit after expiration of the 67th congress and until otherwise referred by the senate, this committee has any authority to conduct the investigation now attempted to be conducted by the pressing of this question to me. I decline to answer on the other ground that on January 1, 1924, Senator Caraway introduced in the senate of the United States in this congress senate resolution 53, attempting to deal with the lease of the Mamah Oil Company; that the reservation was referred to this committee and in due course the senate discharged this committee as January 24, 1924, and the date thereafter on Jan. 23, 1924, agreed to that resolution completed its consideration thereof, the resolution being soended as to be dealt with in senate in a plenary way, with leases upon the naval oil services which were before this committee under senate resolution 249, that this committee has no other authority to deal with state joint resolution 53, since it been discharged by the senate and the senate itself has finally acted upon the resolution.

Some of the children who now go to the Broadway school will be assigned to the new school, and their places taken by children living further west. The contractor is busy removing two frame houses on the site, preparatory to excavations. SINCLAIR PLANS TO SAIL WEDNESDAY PARIS, Feb. 2—Harry F. Sinclair, American oil magnate, who is involved in the Teapot Dome oil lease scandal at Washington, is planning to sail for the United States next Wednesday if he can arrange his European business affairs in that time, it was learned this afternoon. If Sinclair is unable to speed up his affairs, he probably will sail on Feb. 12. He has just returned to Paris from London. They eased the pain and provided periods of easy slumber, in which he appeared to be resting easily. But it was an unnatural rest and one that it was realized could not long be maintained. There were times too, when his mind wandered in partial delirium. Mr. Wilson had a fairly restful night, but continues gradually to lose ground." When he had given out the morning message, Dr. Grayson said: "Mr. Wilson realizes the fight is ever, but he is making a game just stand. It breaks me all up to see the struggle he is making. "It is impossible to say how long he may last, but he is gradually ebbing away. The end may come at any moment." There were tears in his eyes as he spoke and his voice was choked with emotion. Shortly after 8 o'clock the patient was conscious and very weak. Mrs. Wilson came into the room and signed to her door close. She leaned over the bed and he whispered to her for a few moments. The nurse and the doctor moved quietly away. Then she went choking from the room and the patient dragged back exhausted from the effort. The medical chart this morning showed that Mr. Wilson's vitality was getting lower and lower. "It is only a question of time," it may be only a few hours. It may be 24 or 48." But they do not believe it can be longer. At any moment the slender thread of life may snap. The doctors and the family are prepared for it. So is the former president himself. From time to time during the long night vigil he indicated unmistakably to those in the sick room that he believed their efforts were in vain. That this time, after four long years of invalidism and "seares," he was really going. His courage and his calm resignation to the inevitable made the sorrow of those around him all the more poignant. They could not speak of it except with shaking voices and tearful eyes. There were frequent injections of morphine during the night and early this morning. They eased the pain and provided periods of easy slumber, in which he appeared to be resting easily. But it was an unnatural rest and one that it was realized could not long be maintained. There were times too, when his mind wandered in partial delirium. CHAMONIX, France, P.E.A.

Postal authorities claim they have these letters and checks. The other three men arrested some time ago in connection with the case are J. L. Findlay, Charles Wheeler and J. R.

Richman, a building inspector, said this was a slight increase over last year, when in the same period permits totalled $125,200. Two Enterprises Seek Location Upon S. P. Tracks Negotiations to locate two new enterprises in Anaheim are under way, it was ascertained today. Dave Jessurun, superintendent of the Chrystal Chemical Co., and former superintendent of the Anaheim Sugar Co., is trying to obtain a considerable frontage along the So. Pacific tracks at the curve east of South Claudina Street, for a plant at which oils, gasoline will be jobbed, etc. Whether Jessurun is acting for himself or represents another concern could not be learned. Such negotiations go thru the leading department of the road or the general freight agent, J. T. Sauners, in Los Angeles. According to D. G. Maltby, local S. P. agent this is one of the few pieces of land of consequence which the road has in Anaheim, altho it has considerable land in West Anaheim. A warehouse concern also is negotiating for the S. P.'s packing plant, now occupied, by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Asn., according to Maltyb. Potatoes and other vegetables as well as citrus fruit will be jobbed by this company if the negotiations are successful. These negotiations also are going thru the Los Angeles officials of the road. While there have been no negotiations recently for industrial sites in the right of way of the Union Pacific, the latter has quite a little area, which it is offering at good terms, including 10 acres north of the Anaheim station.
