WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-tm
The ROvernment won today AtA
fight to cancel the OIL leases ana
contracts awarded Edward /. Doheny
while Albert B. Fall was SECRETARY ur
the interior.
In a sweeping opinion the court held
that the lease hy which Doheny ln-
terests we're to be developed, the ELK
Hills naval oil reserve and the con-
tract BY which they we're 10 build
storage facilities at Pearl Harbors

corruption
The decision cancelled both the
lease and the contract, confirming
the finding or the lower court.
The highest tribunal based ita de-
cisiOn ON evidence deduced in tho
trial court and previous brought 70
light in the famous senate oil in-
quiry, showing how the negotiations
were conducted without competitive
bidding and i'm secrecy, and how be-
fore the deal was consummRted Do
heny sent Fall 100000 in a little
black bag.
The final finding today was taken
without regard for the verdict Of ~
jury in local court here which ne-
quilted Fall and Doheny or q Grim
inai conspiracy charge based on tha
100000 transaction.
The court found that the interest
and influence of Fall was well na his
official action was rOrruptly secured
by Doheny for the making Of the con-
tracts and leases.
Fall. the court said. had stated that
IN conducting the leasing negotiax
tions hp would net himself, and that
the Doheny company acted upon be-
lief that Fall controlled the .sItna-
| ti0n.
The opinion reviewed In detail tlla
secret negotiations, and stated that
the facts leading up To the leases
showed that the Doheny company
had preferential treatment. IN was
we+t- established, the court found.
that the contracts and leases were
made without competition.
Furthermore, the opinion contin-
ned. the leasing act of 1890, under
which the leases and contracts were
made, did not authorize the whole
