Teapot Dome Lease Is
Legal; Contrary To
Other Decisions

Cheyenne. Wyo., July THE Sin
clair oil interests administered
crushing defeat to the government II
its suit before Federal Judge Kennedy
to have the Teapot Dome oil lease set
aside.
The court denied the plea and up
held the company on every point.
The claim of collision and fraud be
tween Sinclair and former Secretary
Of the Interior Fall is dismissed and
President Harding's order to transfer
control of the naval oil lands from
the secretary of the navy to the secre-
taiy Of the interior Is declared legal.
The decision is directly opposite
from a decision b Federal Judge Me
Cormick of Los Angeles a court Of
equal jurisdiction, who set aside Don
eny's lease of the Elk Hills naval oil
reserves three weeks ago. In that
decision Judge Mccormick said that
the Harding order was "in excess of
the executive power of the president"
and that Falls transfer of the Elk
Hills oil lands to Doheny was "a
fraud upon the United States
Instead of declaring that the Tea
pot Dome transfer a fraud, Judge
Kennedy said that this appears to be
good contract for the government"
The little black satchel with $780,
900 in it that came to Fall was re.
sponsble for Judge McCormiek's de-
termination that there was fraud In
the Elk Hills contract. The S290,009
of Liberty bonds that was depended
on bv the government to play like
part in the Teapot Dome case failed
because Judge Kennedy ruled that the
allegation of fraud was not sustained,
because the Liberty bonds had not
been traced to Sinclair. The govern
ment traced these bonds to relatives
of Fall. They were distributed by
the Continental trading company, one
of the interlocking concerns that had
dealings with the Sinclair interests.
The president of the trading company
refused to testify for the government.
As he remained outside the country
it was impossible to compel his at
tendance at court. Other important
government witnesses remained In
Europe and elsewhere during the trial.
These included the chairman of the
board of directors of the Standard
oil company of Indiana and other
prominent oil men.
At the conclusion of his decision,
Judge Kennedy made these significant
statements:
"ln reaching a conclusion in this
case we fully realize the degree of
unpopularity with which it will be
received. This is true, in the nature
of things, because the great general
public is reached only with the senti-
mental features surrounding the
transactions involved, and being large
ly in the dark as to all the other multi
tudes of circumstances with which
the case is surrounded, and knowing
perhaps less of the great legal prin-
ciples which the experience of the
ages has taught mankind must control
in dealing with the rights of persons
and property"
The government will appeal the
Kennedy decision and the Doheny in
terests will appeal the Mccormick de
cision.

HIGH PRICES FOR REBELS
SIGNATURES

Fifteen thousand dollars for the
signature of a REBEL
That was the price paid last month
by a Philadelphia collector" for the
signature of Button Gwinnett, one of
the tifty-six immortals who risked
all save honor in support of the
Declaration of Independence.
Gwinnett was a dreadful agitator
in his day. Although born in Eng
land he urged his Georgia neighbors
to resist oppression and set up the
kind of government that suited them,
He shocked the solid, substantial
citizens out of their boots and the
king would surely have hanged him
had he succeeded in laying hands on
him.
