One Is Successful-
Grants Affected
WASHINGTON. July 29 The
government today developed an
other phase of its effort to clear
up the oil lease situation. Attor
ney General Stone Issued orders
for the filing of a suit to cancel
an oil and gas prospecting lease
applying to a reservation created
by legislative order for the Nava-
o Indian nation in southern
Utah. -lf the government Is suc
cessful in this suit it will take
some action to invalidate more
than 20 other such permits. 18 of
which were granted by former
Secretary Fall of the interior de
partment and which apply to In
dian lands in a dozen different
western localities.
Oil Companies Involved
The suit ordered filed is against
E. M. Harison. the Midwest Oil
company and the Southwest Oil
company and is based on an opin
ion recently submitted by the at
torney general to the president in
which he claimed that Mr. Fall's
construction of the general leas
ing act of 1920 was in error when
it applied the oil leasing - provi
sions to reservations created by
executive order.
Mr. Fall's interpretation of the
provision was given upon applica
tion for a lease by Mr. Harrison;
said here to be an official of the
Mid West company, and under
construction of that law other
permits also were granted.5
Since the present attorney gen
eral placed a different opinion on
the law the interior department
has rejected all pending applica
tions for permits on such land,
numbering some 400.
Further Lease's Held Up ;
Mr. Stone and Secretary Work
of the interior department are in
accord that no further leasing of
the lands involved should be per
mitted until i congress authorizes
extraction of the oil or gas. They
feel that congress should express
its view as a guiding policy for
the executive department to fol
low. ; .
The lease sought to be can
celled in the government's action
covers land set aside by an execu
tive order of President Arthur in
1884 and applies to 2560 acres.

PORTLAND, Or., July 29.
Forest fire losses in eastern Ore
gon mounted steadily today while
government forest officials . hoped
vainly Jor relief from the dry
hot winds and low humidity. Re
ports showed 1 that half a dozen
serious fires . were burning and
that several thousand acres had
been swept over. '
Weather has been favorable
west of the mountains and no
fires of any importance have been
reported. r
Large fires f)urning tonight in
eluded a 6,000 acre conflagration
west of Lakeview and a fire
near Prineyille covering 640 acres.
Heavy damage resulted from
the fire 40 miles west of Lake-
view, according to ' word .from
officials of the Freemont nation
al forest to district officers here.
The fire, which is now thought
to be under (control was swept
before a high! wind through one
of the finest j districts of .yellow
pine in the state.
Small hopei of checking a ser
ious fire near Prinevville in the
Ochocho national forest until the
wind .had died down was held
by forest officials. " The blaze

famous Salem civic center. Direct
ly across this center, on State,
will be the new $175,000 Elks'

personal charge of the campaign,
is unable to come at that, time
the directors will go ahaJ with
original plans which call for

Among a! list of reasons why
Salem should have a new YMCA
hnildine are that, Salem placed
fifteenth last year in the list of
15 cities under 25,000 population;
there is nothing adequate about
the present building. Commercial

CHICAGO, July 2 9. Nathan
Leopold Jr. is a socialy dangerous
person, suffering from a psychosis.
according to the report of Dr.
William Healy, alienist of Boston,
prepared for presentation in the
Franks trial.
Dr, Healy, who will be a wit
ness for the defense; says that
Leopold is a "thoroughly unbal
anced individual in his mental
life, really mentally j diseased of
the paranoiac or monomanias type
which, had produced so many
criminals."
: Lacking in Loyalties
Dr, Healy says Leopold Is ab
solutely lacking in most loyalties,
but strongly demanding loyalty
from others. It says he is I en
tirely lacking in any normal- ex
pression showing sympathy, but is
not cruel. - .
, "Stubborn hi holding opinions
and particularly in Insisting that
the world is all wrong and that he
Is right," Bays the summary of
tho rpnnrt "In perioral ha tin a
some capacity for being a leader
in mental ways, but pathologically
having a desire to be a follower
and a slave. He is courageous In
mental but not physical spheres."
Jury May Decide Sanity
CHICAGO, July 29. The
state's "mountain of evidence"
state's atorney, expects to send
Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard
Loeb, kidnappers and slayers of
Robert Franks to the gallows. Is
complete, the state's attorney an
nounced tonight. I(e will close
his case as soon as court convenes
tomorrow, he said. If the defense
attempts to Introduce the testi
mony, of any alienists as to the
mental condition, of -the two mil
lionaires' sons who have pleaded
guilty, Mr. Crowe said he will im
mediately demand that a jury be
called to determine whether the
slayers are mentally responsible.
When court adjourned the
state's attorney had announced
that h had but one mo; r witness
who would take but five minutes.
The witness, an assistant Btate's
attorney, was to have testified
that Loeb was crying a short time
before he confessed,;

state's attorney f.-ars he may

the slayers. . L ,
Under a-ruling of the supreme
court, Mr. Crowe said, if the
question of .the mental responsi

court must automatically call a
jury to determine whether or not
the defendant , Is sane or Insane
and whether be is responsible for
the crime.
To Oppose Alienists
Defense attorneys who have an

Dr. William A. White, celebrated
alienist of Washington. D. C. on
