POWER DISTRICT
OF VERDE RIVER
UP TO COURTS
m planatcn Az. vz5ns


WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Final de-
cision as to whether the Verde River
Irrigation and power district of Ari-
zcna is to continue to have rights of
way over government land for con-
struction of irrigation works has beez.
Put up to the courts.
Attorneys for the district filed ar-
plication in the supreme court of the
District of Columbia today for an in
JUNCTION restraining Secretary Work
of the department of the interior ard
VIM. Spry, commissioner of the gem
eraI land office, from putting into ef'
feet the secretary's order of February
10 denying further extension of time
and directing Commissioner Spry to
execute it's provisions
Tie. text Of the application expli-
cittly prays that the, defendant be
'senjoined from issuing notices in
cancellation or revocation of the
plaintiffs approved rights of way
for reservoirs, dams, canals, laterals
and other structures as aforesaid, or
Of the approval of the plaintiffs dis
trict under the act of 1915, and from
casing notations of such concelia-
tions Of revocation to be made upon
the record of the general land office
or of the local land office, and from
taking any other steps to formally
carry said decision into effect.
The application is based in part
upon an allegation that the secretary
in executing the. contract of 1920 with
the district was without authority to
grant rights of way for reservoirs
and canals for irrigation purposes in
the form and manner attempted in
such supposed agreement.
Secretary Work, in his decision sat
urday, held that the contract of 1920
was valid and that all transactions
between the government and the
district since were subject to its
provisions, especially to those requir7
ing the district to begin construction
work within six years.
Executive and legal officials of the
department of the interior said today
that they welcomed the suit by the.
district and the prospect sof having
the whole matter decided in the
courts.

UPHOLDS
INDICTMENT OF
SENATOR FALL

i. WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. Indict-
ments charging former Secretary
Albert B. Fall, Harry F. Sinclair and
E. L. Doheny with conspiracy in
connection with the naval oil leases
were upheld in supreme, court here
today. They were attacked in ia
demurrer filed by the defendants on
the ground that Fall had no authority
to award the leases and therefore
that there could havei been no con-
lspiracy through him to defraud the
government, but Justice Stafford, who
delivered the opinion, held them to
be validly drawn.
"The facts set forth in the indict-
ment, which are admitted by the de-
murrer fore the purpose of presenting
to the court the question of law in
volved," Justice Stafford said, arc
these:
"That Fall and Doheny entered into
corrupt agreement with each other
that Fall, as secretary of the interior
should award to Doheny's companies
certain contracts and leases relating
to the oil and gas lands of the United
States in consideration of gifts and
loans to be made to rail- by Doheny
and to accomplish said purpose, by
tricks and dishonest methods de-
scribed in the indictment.
sFalI was assuming to act in these
matters under and by virtue of ar
executive order of the president This
order, however, is now agreed was
null and void, because congress had
entrusted the power to the secretary
of the navy alone The principa
point presented by the defendants is
that inasmuch as Fall had no legal
authority to award the contracts OF
leases, any attempt on his part to dc
so would lso be null and void"
To this, Justice Stafford said, the
government had property replied that
although, an award by Fab might not
have been binding, it would have
been such an interference with gov
ernmental functions and operations as
necessarily would have embarrassed
the United States.
"The court feels constrained tc
hold" he continued, that such 9
conspiracy as this indictment
charges is conspiracy to defrauc
the United States regardless of the
fact that Fall had no legal authority
to do what he conspired to do"
The opinion was handed down ir
reply to the Doheny demurrer.
memorandum was filed overruling the
Sinclair motion
Previous indictments against the
three men were quashed on the
ground that the department of just.
ice agent was improperly in the grand
jury room during consideration of the
case.

OFFICERS WILL
START TAGGING
OLD LICENSES

Deputy sheriffs in charge of the
work of checking issues Of licenses
of motor vehicles in this section Of
Cochise county, announced Monday
that they would start tagging cars
Tuesday morning if they have not
yet secured their 1926 license plates.
The time given for the securing
of the plates was extended Is days
many persons experienced with the
this wear on account of difficulties
new title law and the sheriff's forces
have instructions now to prosecute
every car driver who has not secured
the new plates. as the officials feel
that everyone has had ample time
to get their applications acted on.
The officers urge that cars which
are not licensed be kept in the garage.
Those who find their cars tagged will
report to Justice of the Peace New
bury who will try them on charge
of violating the motor vehicle IL
cense laws of the state.
Licenses are placed on motor cars
so that easy identification may be
possible in case of accident or, theft
and it is very important, in coun-
try where there are millions of cars,
that each one be properly licensed,
as without such license, thieves would
ne free to take any car they pleased
and officers would find it impossible
to recover the stolen property.
