GOVERNMENT Is
VICTORIOUS IN
OIL LAND CASE
Circuit Court of Appeals Can
GELS Mammoth Oil Co. Lease
of Wyoming Land

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 29.--tR The
Teapot Dome controversy again has
steamed into view. with the govern
mcnt today holding the latest victory
IN long career Of court procedure.
Declaring "thc entire transaction
is tainted with favoritism, collusion
and corruption. defeating The proper
and lawful function Of the govern
meDt," the United States circuit
court Of appeals here late Yesterday
ordered cancelled the lease on naval
oil reserve lands in Wyoming, held
by the Mammoth Oil company. The
decision was based on the grounds
that the lease was fraudulcntly OBJ
taincd by Harry F. SINCLAIR, oil mag
nate, from Albert j. Fall, former
secretary Of the interior.
Previous Decision Reversed
The decision, which reversed and
rcmanded a decision of Judge I.
Blake Kennedy in district court at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, in June, 1925,
further instructs the lower court to
cnjpin the Mammoth company from
trcspassing on government lands and
to ask the c0m"any for an account
ing Of all oil and petroleum nroducts
taken front the reserve during the
tenure of the lease.
The opinion, received here from
Presiding Judge William S. Kenyon
OF Fort Dodge, Iowa. consists Of a
66-page document, and was concurrcd
in by Circuit Judges Arba S. Van
Valkenburg Of Kansas City and Dis
trict Judge W. A. Cant Of Duluth,
Mimi.
"A trail Of deceit, ffalsehood, sub
tcrfugc, bad faith and corruption, at
times indistinct, hut nevertheless dis
cernible, runs through the transac-
tions incident to and surrounding the
making Of this lease" says the
lengthy opinion Of the federal appeals
court.
Fall Held Guilty Man
AbsslvinR other government Off
cials Of blame in the transactions, by
stating that "thcre is no corruption
in this case as to any officers Of the
government except Albert B. FALL"
the opinion sets out:
1T has been the theory Of the
government that Former Secretary
Fall received from Harry f. Sinclair,
orgsnizer and owner Of the Mammoth
company, pecuniary consideration
which Influenced him to grant this
company lease for Teapot Domc.'

MEN ON ENGINE SAW
 N. A. BADGER KILLED
Engineer and Bremen Say He Could Have Stopped Be-
 tween Tracks
FireH%A Shouted Warning But It Was
 too Late

That Newell A. Badger might have brought his automobile Co a stop be- tween Che east and west bound tracks of the New Haven railroad where they diyerge at EIliott's station and thus saved his life Is deduced from the tes- tlmony of the engineer and fireman of the train that killed him. From the testimony of the men on the I0comO- tive there can be but one conclasion- that Badger did not see the train tho hit his automobile week ago last Sunday morning. because his attea- ton was attracted elsewhere
 The men in the locomotive cab were Fred Wilson. engineer. of New Hagen. and Joseph F. Robey. fireman of Hgrtf0rd Both men testified be- fore Coroner Arthur c. Bill at an in- quest at Danielson. Tuesday.
 Seen From the Cab
 Fireman Robey testified that he first saw the Badger machine when |. was astride the west-b0und track -N Elliott station one track sweeps around the west side of the station and the eaat=b0und track is on the other side of the station. which is be tween the double line of truckage Al this particular point there is eoHsid- erable space btween the tracks. am pie for cur to park in safety, while a train might pass on either track, or both.
 Fireman Rebey. said that Badger Co be driving as slowly as 15 miles an hour and the fireman smd he gained the impression that Badger sas going t0 stop his machine by the tracks to allow the train to run by When Badger continued to come ahead Robey said he shouted a warn ing to the engineer. but f was too late Co stop the train and the locomotive plowed into the car killing Badger.
 Engineer Wilson said that when heI first saw the Badger ear 1t was partly across the east-bound track. The io- was SO close upon it that there was no chance at all Co stop theI train. The locomotive hit one side of the Badger car near rear wheel Engineer Wilson said. and sent theI machine spinning around. Al the timei af the accident.
