An attempt by the present ad ministration to examine the title was nrevented by the courts of thf District of Columbia which held that 'Albert B. Fall, while secre tary of the Interior, had closed the matter hv awarding the land to the Standard Oil company . The supreme court, however found that Fall's action was not final.
