Wheeler Wins The Long Fight
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia Rules Charges
Against Senator Should Be Quashed- Wheeler Express
es Satisfaction With Decision.
INFLUENCE OF ANACONDA co. FORETOLD

Washington, Dec. 29.-Sena-
tor Burton X. Wheeler of Mon
tana today won his long fight to
have all charges brought against
him by the government wiped off
the books.
The District of Columbia supreme
court upheld the contentious of the
senator who had already been ac-
Quilted in Montana, that the charges
contained in a conspiracy indictment
returned against him here should be
quashed. A demurrer to the indict-
ment was upheld.
Decision Leaves Senator Free
Today's decision leaves Senator
Wheeler free of all charges unless the
gOvernmet should succeed in winning
an appeal to the higher courts.
Whether such a step vii be attempted
was not made clear, but the Wheeler
counsel expects no such development.
The specific charge against Sena-
tor Wheeler and the other defendants
was that they conspired to .defraud
the grcNernment by obtaining a large
number of gas and oil permits to
prospect on the public domain and in
its argument, the government assert
ed all the permits were for use of one
lman-Gordon Campbell procedure
/ it contended, was illegal.
Wheeler Delighted
/ After announcement Of the decision
today Senator Wheeler issued a state
ment which said:
"I am delighted to learn of
the decision in my favor and 4
hope this will end these persecu-
tiOns ard that ] win be able to
devote my time and attention to
constructive measures in the
United States senate.
