Senate to Approve World

Some Drastic Reserva-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30-Prcsident
Coolidge has been assured on many Oc-
casions that the resolution providing
for II. :. participation in the World
Court will 20 through the senate, but
there is no certainty whatever that il
will be approved in the form proposed
by the president and with the five mild
reservations he has indorsed.
On the contrary, there are indications
that possibly some Of the reservations
put forward by George Wharton Pepper
Of Pennsylvania, which are drastic, may
b. adopted, and this would BE- regarded
as defeat for the League Of Nations
forces in the senate. The League Of
Nations fight j. being fought over
Party lines have disappeared in the
fight that is just getting under way in
the upper House. Borah and the ir-
rccorcilabIe threaten all sorts Of trOu-

apparent majority against them.

There are various estimates Of the
I time the debate will run. but if the ad

Wood yards this morning reported

Coal has been called in as a substi-

Coal is being burned in wood stoves,

extreme hard coal, and is being burned
with comparative success in wood stoves,
and in fire places, little wood being
mixed with it in many instances, it was
said at the Mason Transfer company by
Mrs. Butler Of the office force.
"A large number Of persons are senc-

our supply will hold out, although we

SEN. WHEELER
EXONERATED
Montanan Wins Long
Fight to Have All
Charges Dropped
CBv The Associated Press }


WASHINGTON. Dec. 50,-Senator
Burton r. Wheeler Of Montana Tuesday
won his long fight to have all charges
brought against him by the government
wiped off the books.
The District Of Columbia supreme
court upheld the contentious Of the
senator, who had already been acquit-
ted in Montana, that the charges con
tained il 4 conspiracy Indictment re-
turned against him here should be
uuashed demurrer to the Indictment
filed by Senator Walsh Of Montana, Mr..
Wheeler's counsel was upheld.
Along with the dismissal Of the
Wheeler indictment, the court alsG
threw out the charges again Edwin s.
Booth. former solicitor Of the interior
department and Gordon Campbell Of
Montana, who were indicted jointly
with him. The three men were charged
with conspiring to defraud the govern
ment in connection with the obtaining
Of oil and gas land permits.
Today's decision lcages Senator
Wheeler free Of all charges unless the
government should succeed in winning
an appeal to the higher courts. Whe-
thcr such step will be attempted
was not made clear. but the Wheeler
counsel expects no such developments.
The specific charges against Senator
Wheeler and the other defendants was
that they conspired 20 defraud the gov
ernment by obtaining a large number
Of gas and oil permits to prospect on
the pablo domain, and in its argument
the government asserted all the per
mits were for the use Of one man
Gordon Campbell--a procedure it con
tended was illegal.
Justice Bailey, IN his opinion, held
the Indictment failed to charge a vio-
lation of the law, and was therefore
bad.
He asserted the federal land act does
not limit the number Of permits to be
issued to any one prospector and that
the secretary Of the interior cannot, BY
his regulations, 60 beyond the statute
and deny the applicants rights given
them by the law.
