trict of Columbia supreme court.
Justice McCoy sustained the motion
sf counsel for the defendants to dis­
miss the Indictments on the ground
that they were violated by the pres­
ence of unauthorized persons in the
(rand jury room when evidence was
being taken.
The bribery charge grew out of the
delivery to Fall here while he wbb
interior secretary of $100,000 in cash.
The fund was advanced by the elder
Doheny and brought here from New
York by his son in the now celebrated
little black satchel. Fall gave his per­
sonal note for the amount, and Do­
heny, in disclosing that 'he had ad­
vanced the money, said it was a loan
to a friend and had nothing to do
with the leases.
The Indictments returned here and
ordei-ed dismissed are wholly apart
from civil suits which have been
brought by the government in Wyom­

Viewed from the outcome of the ef

Paris.— Premier Herrlot revealed to
the radloal socialist group of the
chamber of deputies that he plans to
meet the French financial ertsir with
a proposal fbr a long term capital tax
levy.
The exact extent of the levy, how­
ever, he' left unclear, saying it would
apply “only on acquired wealth," and
would not affect “Wealth in forma

Harriot made no definition of the
meaning of "wealth In formation," and
It was believed tbat on its definition
will rest the real policy of the govern
ment.
The chamber gave Premier Herrlot

ence with a vote of 530 to 0 following
close on the appointment of Anatole
