WHEELER wins T LEGAL BATTLE Indictment Filed Against Montana Senator Held Faulty by Court NO VIOLATION SHOWN Law Gives Right to Aid in Securing Any Number of Permits to Prospect for Oil and Gas. (AMOrUtxt Pre Uuei Wire.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. Sena tor Burton K. Wheeler of Montana today won bis long fight to have all chargea brought against hlra by the government wiped off the books. The District of Columbia su preme court upheld the contention of the senator, who bad already been acquitted In Montana, that the chargea contained in a con spiracy Indictment returned against htm here should be guash- ed. i A demurrer to the Indictment, filed by Senator Walsh of Montana, Mr. Wheeler's counsel, waa upheld. Tbe court also threw out the chargea against Edwin S. Booth, former solicitor of the interiorde partment, and Gordon Campbell of Montana, who were indicted Jointly with him. - They were charged with conspir ing to defraud the government In connection with obtaining of oil and gas land permits. Today's decision leaves Senator Wheeler free of all charges unless the government should succeed In winning an appeal to the higher courts. Whether such a step will be attempted waa not made clear, but the Wheeler counsel expects no such development. No Law Violation Specified.' The specific charge waa that the defendants conspired to defraud the government by obtaining a large number of gas and oil per mits to prospect on the public do msin, and in its argument the gov ernment asserted all the permits were for the use of one man Gordon Campbell, a procedure, It contended, waa Illegal. . Justice Bailey held that Indict ment failed to charge a violation of the law and was "therefore bad." He asserted the federal land act does not limit the number of per mits to be Issued to any one pros pector and that the secretary of the Interior cannot, by his regula tions, go bevond the statute and deny the applicants' rights given tnem oy tne law. This one point, the court de clared, was sufficient to throw out the Indictments, and It was un necessary to pass on the legal points raised bv counsel for Wheeler, or on the demurrer filed by William A. Leah v. special gov ernment counsel, to the nlea of for mer acquittal Interposed , br Wheeler. rAaanrUtel Prra ImsnI Wirt.) NEW YORK.
