ton with the naval oil leases at
Teapot Dome and Elk Hills.
Appearing thrice before the Senate
committee, he sought by his own tes-
tlmony and through friends of long
years standing to keep from the rec
ord story that, as finally written by
the evidence of Archie Roosevelt
Doheny and others, was described
time and again in Senate debate
as a disclosure of a betrayal of a
public trust without parallel within
half century.
For weary weeks the investigation
OF the leases granted to Doheny and
to Sinclair-an investigation put un-
der way by the late Senator La Fol-
lette OF WiSconSin-had dragged
along, when suddenly, late in 1923,
the committee began inquiry into
the source Of the funds with which
Fall had improved his New Mexico
ranch holdings about the time the
leases were granted.
Famed 100000 Loan.
Fall again was summoned, but he
reported illness, and meantime got
Edward B. Mclean, then publisher
of the Washington Post, to say that
he had loaned the former Interior
Secretary 100000. Mclean later
testified that he had merely given
checks for that amount, which were
returned unused.
Then came the sensational teSti-
mony of Doheny that he had loaned
Fall Sl00, 900 ON his personal note be-
fore the California Oil leases were
executed to Doheny's company. The
committee again summoned Fall, out
upon his appearance he declined to
testify, standing on his constitu-
tional rights.
Meantime, Archie Roosevelt had
told a startling story about G. D.
Wahlberg, secretary to Sinclair, hav-
ing communicated to him that
checks for $4,000 had been sent to
the foreman of Falls New Mexico
ranch. Wahlberg denied this testi-
mony. saying he was referring to
six or eight COWS" but subsequently
he and Samuel D. Hildreth, trainer
OF Sinclair's race horses, asserted
that the checks referred to were
those sent to Hildreth for salary and
commissions on Sinclair's race win
nings.
There was evidence that after Fall
had retired Sinclair cause to be sent
to him s25,000 in Liberty bonds at
about the time the former Interior
Secretary made trip to Europe for

the oil man in connection with som,
concession then sought in Russia.
AS result Of the Senate inquir,
special Government counsel wer.
named to prosecute the oil cases ane
suits were brought in California ane
Wyoming to annul the leases. Later
indictments were returned against
Fall. Doheny and Sinclair, charging
them with conspiracy. These indict.
ments were quashed, but new onea
were returned.
In the District Court in Californie
the Government won its civil suit tt
annul the Doheny leases, but 1t lost
a similar suit against Sinclair anc
his Mammoth Oil Co. in Wyoming
throwing the whole question into the
higher courts.
Authenticated reports at the time
were that Fall had not sought the
cabinet Office, the administration OF
which was to bring him to grief, but
that he had desired instead to be
Secretary of State. He was consid-
cred for that place by President
Harding, who long had been his
personal friend in the Senate, but
Charles E. Hughes finally was Sc
lected and Fall was made the Inter-
ior Secretary.
Attended by Secrecy.
Soon after taking over that Office,
the former Senator began the long
series of negotiations by which the
naval oil reserves finally were turned
over under authority of an executive
order for administration by the Inte-
rior Department. The leases soon
followed and were attended by so
much secrecy that the Senate de-
cided to investigate Meantime Fall
had resigned and returned to New
Mexico.
During the nine years he served in
the Senate before his appointment
to the cabinet, Fall not only re-
peatedly attacked the Wilson policy
in Mexico, but much of the legisla-
ton he sponsored had to do with
Mexican affairs.
In 1919 he was chairman Of a spe-
cial Senate subcommittee that in
quired into the Mexican situation in
great detail. Then, when trouble
again was brewing south Of the Rio
Grande, and President Wilson lay
sick at the White House, the New
Mexican Senator was chosen as Re-
publican member of a committee
of two that visited the stricken Chief
Executive, ostensibly to confer on a
Mexican policy, but in reality to de-
termine for the Senate whether Mr..
Wilson still was capable of perform
ing the functions of his office.
With Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
braska, Fall entered the sick cham
ber and talked briefly with the
President about Mexico On their
return to the Capitol the two Sena-
tors reported to their colleagues that
Mr. Wilson'S mind was alert, and
that although confined to bed he
was we'll enough to make decisions
on matters of public business.

elected territorial Representative in
the Legislature for two years as a
Democrat, and then was appointed
to the territorial bench, serving until
1895.
In the Spanist-Americap War he
served as captain of infantry, and
after the war he joined the Republi-
can party, and in 1902 was elected
to the territorial Senate. In 1905
he moved to Ell Paso, Tex, but re-
tanned his legal residence in New
Mexico. Through investments in
mines he accumulated sufficient
money to buy home and ranch at
Three Rivers, N. Mex, the ranch
which figured SO extensively in the
oil investigation.
