Fall and Companion Were to Have Been Arraigned
 Friday.

Washington, Dec. II Pl-Harry F. Sinclair. through counsel, asked the District of Columbia Supreme court todayAto quash the indictment charging him and Albert B. Fall. former secretary of the interior, with conspiracy in the leasing to Sinclair of the Tea Pot Dome naval oil reserve.
 Fall and Sinclair were to have been arraigned on the indictment Friday but now the motion to quash must first be disposed of. Argu- ments on this motion will be heard on Friday and the time required for a decision will govern future pro- cedure in the case.
 Sinclair's motion said he had been singled out for unusual prosecu- ton, inasmuch as special counsel had been named by the government with wide powers to handle the case. &,ch a course, he said, denied him his constitutional rights to receive equal justice with other citizens.
