Senator, .Wheeler . of Montana, in-
dependent vice presidential candi
71 date last fall; Edwin S. Booth,
j former solicitor for the interior
r-V department, and Gordan Campbell,
rj -'a" Montana oil operator, were
by a grand jury here today with
conspiracy to obtain illegal ' use
and possession of government oil
land. - - - . . . . .
The grand Jury, which has bad
before It for two months an inves
tigation of the granting of oil land
leases to Campbell and Ms assist
ants, terminated, its proceedings
by the action Just after Assistant
Attorney General Donovan and
special government counsel had
summed upT, the testimony at a
brief morning session. .j .
Senator Walsh of Montana, at
torney for Mr. Wheeler, arranged
for. arraignment and placing' of
1 1,0 0 0 ? bond, .for bia client .while
the defendant -senator Issued ' n
statement exBressias: surprise that
f an indictment had been found and
predicting that ' "when the case
Comes to trial, the public will .be
convinced of my complete inno-
! cence." . Neither of the other de-
fendants were in the city. Mr.
i Booth, like Senator Wheeler, ap-
pea red s witness-before the grand
r Jury early in its proceedings and
.- waived immunity. . - , .
Senator i Wheeler's statement
further declared that the "grand
I jury had been permitted to take a
i recess of . four weeks which is, to
say the least, an almost unheard of
I . proceeding," after its examination
I of witnesses .had been concluded,
I and that this action had convinced
' him no indictment was to be
: brought. He said the only evi
dence brought to his attention
when he went before the grand
jury as a witness, "was the same
as the ' evidence presented to the
Borah ; committee . which Investi
gated the charges against me."
The committee's report to the
senate on this investigation exon
erated Senator Wheeler.
The ,full charge on which the
indictment was . based was set
I forth in a 29-page document pre
! sented by the jury. Campbell, It
said, induced! various persons to
' enter claims for lease of govern
ment land, the leases , on which
we're to bo assigned to himself for
the benefit of the .three , men
charged , with conspiracy ? A ser
ies of "overt acts" specified as
4 part ot the alleged. -conspiracy re

the name of- James A. McGowan
who was described as a conspira
tor also, but was allowed to testi

Rail-Wafer Charges on Wool
Argued Before Interstate .j
. Commission
PORTLAND, Or., March 27.7
Bern Levyy of San Francisco, as-
sistant general frelglt agent for
the -Santa Fe railroad, testifying
before ' Chairman Campbell of the
interstate commerce commission
here today, declared that inter-
coastal steamship lines .that ply
through the Panama canal and al
ready registered -as a eerious men'
ace to transcontinental railroads,
would probably wax fatter still at
the expense of the rail carriers if
the combination rail-water rate on
wool from interior. points to Bos
ton were,granted.'
j "Our chief 5 j apprehension in
case this rate would be put into
effect," Baid Mr, Levy, 'is. that It
would ; arm : our competitors, the
intercoastal steamship lines. We
would be carrying traffic to them
by hauling wool from the Interior
to the ports for j loading on , the
steamers for the haul to the east
"The effect would be to. make
them stronger, with improved ser
vice , and .facilities, .so that they
would be placed In a position .to
take still more "of our tonnage
westbound , M well as western
wool sent east to market."
