Government Is Trying to Clear tho Reserves of Leases Made by
 Sec, Fall

Washington, Oct. 14 dpAAnother naval oil reserve case reached the supreme court today.
 Following the argument in the Doheny case by special government counsel. the department of justice. through Solicitor General Mitchell. took up the fight to clear the re- serves Of leases made while Albert E. Fall was secretary of the interior. asking the court to grant a review In proceedings against the Belleridge oil Company, which has lease on the Elk Hills reserve in California.
 The lease is challenged by the government as Invalid on the ground that it was made without adyertis- ing for bids. The validity of the action of President Harding in transferring the administration of the reserves from the navy to the interior department also 1. oues- toned.
 The lower courts sustained the lease, holding that the secretary of the interior had authority to make it. that government officials had approved It. and that congress, with full knowledge 1t had been made, aouiesced. The government asked d. review so 1t could test out the valid ity of all such leases,

 weather and the police were of the opinion that the oarsman in trying 10 land on the beach with a high tide rolling in upset the craft and | himself was caught by wave and carried out into the harhor while 1 the women drowned and the waves
 and left them there
 Awaiting instructions from the coroner the police did not inquire in detail into the party aboard the craft but undertook a search for | Hawcos body.
 Bodies Not Nude Medical Examiner SCarbrough could find nothing about the bodies to assist in immediate Identification. He did find however, that the bod les were not nude except for shoes and stockings, as the police had
 said. The women had worn silk dresses and undergarments and these had been washed into a roll under | the arm pits which gave the bodies an appearance of nudity.
 The garments worn were of ordi- nary texture. Each woman had had
 small handbag. In one was a half sheet of paper on which was tho
 name of Havoc and his hotel room number. The name. however, look ed like Flaw; later the police said they were uncertain whether the missing mans name was Hanco or Havoc. One woman was about 25 years old and wore a wedding ring. She had had a green dress. Her
 shoes were black and stockings white, while the other woman was about 2S and was entirely dressed in black. Both had brown hair. Omondson in an interview said that Barney and the women left the yacht about l0:30. They had had
 several drinks of liquor but he said the quantity was trifing and none
 could have been otherwise than so-
 Der. In one handbag was a list of
 articles evidently that of prospective
 Christmas presents to the woman's family although no names were given.
 The medical examiner ordered the bodies delivered to an undertaken and he with Coroner Mix went out
 to the yacht to talk with Omond-
 son. Evidence of Liquor Coroner Mix after going aboard
 the yacht said that he believed the
 mans name was Howco, after dis
 carding the names of flaws, Havoc
 and Hanco. He said he found evid
 ences of a drinking party on the
 yacht with gin, brandy and cock
 tails left. Pending a possible in-
 quest the coroner ordered the police
 to detain Omondson.
 A woman, Mrs. Walter F. Gulf living In Morris Cove was found this
 afternoon who said she had heard
 screams last night but no cries such as to give her the idea that anyone was In danger.
 On the yacht was found a mans
 vest in the pocket of which was a
 white gold watch and small amount
 of money This belonged to Howco,

These included the announcement that the New York Central and Pennsylvania rail- roads had placed large orders for rails, which was reglected in high issues were helped by reports that CT prices for |. s.

There was a report which reached the police that the two women were members of a theatrical company but this was unproven. It was learned that Howco must have known the women as they were at the hotel and left with him in taxicab. This vehicle went to Nor ris Cove and aboat met the trio and took them to the yacht.
 Mrs. Walter r. Gulf said that it was about 10:S0 when she heard voices which time corresponds with statement of Omondson that his guests left about that time.
