first blow in the annual battle of the
vets and drys in Congress was

Washington, Dec. LAP - The
FalI-Doheny bribery Indictments
which were quashed several months
ago in the lower. courts here, were
held to be valid today by the Dis
trict of Columbia court of appeals.
A plea in abatement. filed by form
er Secretary Albert B. Fall. Edward

Edward L. Doheny, which the lower
court granted, was overruled by
Chief Justice George e. Martin on
motion of the governments special
oil counsel Atlee Pomerene and
Owen j. Roberts.
Two indictments were covered by
the courts decision, one charging
Fall with receiving a bribe of $780,
600 to influence his official action re-
speeding certain oil leases, and the
other charging the Dohenys with
giving the bride.
The appellate court held the act
of Congress taking the prosecution
of the oil cases out of the hands OF
the Department of Justice meant on
ly to deprive the attorney general
of charge and control of the liti-
cation and did not interfere with the
right of the special counsel to make
use of the assistance of district at

Believe Steamer
COtOpaXi FOundered

Key West, Fla, Dec. 7-(AP)-
Virtually all hope has been aban-
doned for the finding of the steamer
Cotopaxi which left Charleston on
Sunday, Nov. "a, bound for Havana
with a cargo of coal, and which has
not been heard from since last Tues
day when S. o. S. signals were re-
ceived from the vessel. it was re-
vealed here tonight after an exhaus-
tive search from Norfolk to Cuba by
coastguard vessels.
1t is believed that the steamer fell
a victim to the tropical storm which
swept up the Atlantic coast. although
there is the possibility that members
of her crew. numbering thirty men,
were picked up by passing vessel.
The hope that the crew was saved is
only slight however, since con-
siderable lapse of time has failed to
bring word from any of them.
