SINCLAIR IS
HELDNVALID
Supreme Court Severe
In Criticism Of Fall
For Leasing Navy
Reserve

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1o.-tR
The government won complete
victory today in the supreme court in
its effort to have Harry +. Sinclair's
lease Of the Tea Pot Dome naval oil
reserve in Wyoming cancelled.
The court in an unanimous opinion
delivered by Associate Justice But
ler, held that Sinclair's lease and con-
tract had been made by Albert B.
Fall, while secretary of the interior
without authority Of law and that
fraud and corruption in the transac-
tion had been proven by the evidence.
The decision handed down to-day
covers the civil action of the Tea Po,
Dome litigation. Sinclair who is q
millionaire and prominent as O
sportsman. is to 60 on trial here next
Monday with Albert B. Fall, secretary
of the interior when the lease was
signed, on q charge of conspiracy 10
defraud the government In connection
with the lease.
Justice Butler was severe in his
criticism of former Secretary Falls
activities, asserting that the leasing
Of the naval reserves was primarily
for the purpose of using the pro-
ceeds for the construction Of $780,
000,0 worth Of storage for the navy
on the Atlantic and Pacific instead of
depositing the money in the treasury.
The justice declared that there had
been no danger Of drainage, that Fall
knew il and that representation to
the contrary, was in bad faith but had
been used as the basis for making the
lease and contracts.
Touching on the governments alle-
cation that Fall received $230,500 In
Liberty Bonds from the Sinclair in
terests in. connection with the leas-
ing, Justice Butler declared the evi-
dence showed Fall was a "faithless
public officer" and that the company
organized in New York to purchase
oilsout Of which the bond transaction
arose was for no legitimate purpose =
The Tea Pot Dome lease made by
Fall was denounced by the court as
having been procured by fraud and
corruption.

 The prisoners employed in the shoe factory of the Santiago penitentiary recently took advantage of this right and went on strike for an increase in their pay, which is s1.5O daily. The movement was settled without disor- der, although the strikers were com pelled to be content with a better ment of food rather than more wages.
 The prisoners work under favor able conditions, among which is an eight-hour day. The rate of pay IS good as compared with wages outside the prison. Each inmate who enters the penitentiary without a trade IS obliged to learn one while there.
