not only were illegal but were obtain-
ed by "fraud and corruption."
The victory was sweeping for the
government, confirming in every de-
tail the position taken by special coun-
rel appointed after a Senate commit-
tee had completed an investigation of
the naval oil reserve.
The opinion delivered by Justice
Hupler held that it was the establish-
ed policy of/Congress and of the gov-
ernment to maintain the reserved field
supply of the navy under ground un-
der the general leasing act of 1920 car-
ried no authority for leasing the naval
oil reserves.
The court sustained the Circuit
court in California in cancelling the
leases and contracts and referred Do-
heny to Congress for any relief he
may feel he is entitled to forthe ex-
penditure of more than $10,00,0,000 for
the erection of storage tanks at Pearl
Harbor,fuHawai, under his contract,
and for fuel oil ilaced in them, as well
as for improvement work upon the
reserve.
throughout the decision the court
referred by way of emphasis to the
fraud and corruption marking the
transactions, although a jury in the
District of Columbia Supreme court
last December held that there was
nothing criminal in the relations be-
tween Fall and Doheny.es
The ruling todayyof the court that
the leasing -act did not warrant the
leasing of naval oil reserve was taken
by court attendants as forecastig a
decisioi In the Harry F. Sinclair Tea-
pot Dome Naval Oil Reserve case, sus-
taining the circuit court in cancelling
the lease and contract.' The Sinclair
case, of which a review recently was
granted, was today advanced for hear-
ing on April 11 and it was freely pre-
dictedthat when that case reached the
court for decision, it will be disposed
of upon the authority of the Doheny
case, holding the lease and contarct
invalid.
World's Record Is
Shattered By Hahn
(By Associated Press)
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N.
Y., Feb. 28.-Lloyd Hahn, sturdy Bos-
ton A. A. runner, shattered the
world's indoor 1000-yard record to-
night when he raced to victory over
the defending champion Ray Dodge,
if the Illinois A. C., in the title event
at this distance in the National A. A.
U. Indoor Track and Field champion-
ship.
His time was 2 minutes, 12 4-5 sec-
onds, 3-5 second faster than the for-
mer mark set by Joie Rae in 1919 at
Brooklyn and equalled by Hal Cut-
bill, the "flying parson" at Buffalo in
1922.
Hahn set a sizzling pace from the
crack of the gun and won "going
away" by 10 yards from Dodge, with
the rest of a field of 20 original start-
ers either forced out or strung far
in the rear.
Edsin Wide, famous Swedish dis-
tance runner, was unable to overcome
liberal handicaps conceded to a field
of 10 rivals in a 1500 meter exhibition
race and barely gained fifth place, 40
yards behind the winner, Brennan of
Fordham university, who had a 100-
yard margin at the start.
Wide's time was 4 minutes, 2 2-5
seconds, as compared with the world's
indoor record of 3 minutes and 56
seconds set by Paavo Nurmi here in
1925. Brennan's time was 3 minutes,
56 4-5 seconds.

SCORE AT HALF IS 21-9
Northiwestern Basketball Coach Makes
Favorable Comment On Michigan's
j Powerful Offensive Ability
With the Wolverines showing still
greater improvement in their defense,
and with "Spring-heels" Oosterbaan
and Frank Harrigan scoring 31 points
between them on a fast apd clever of
fense beneath the basket, Michigan
swept aside Purdue, its strongest rival,
with a 42-20 score last night in Yost
field house and advanced one step
nearer to the Conference basketball
title.
iMichigan Has Good Chance
Michigan now holds undisputed
leadership in the Big Ten standing
with eight victories and two defeats
on its record. The Wolverines have
yet to play Chicago and Iowa, meeting
the Maroons on their home floor Sat-
urday night, and Iowa here Monday.
The Wolverines have defeated both
teams this season, but. Chicago is al-
ways feared when playing on its home
floor, and Iowa is still given an out-
side chance to tie for the champion-
ship. To be certain of a tie for the
title, Michigan needs to win but one of
its two remaining games.
Michigan has never shown so great
aim attack under the basket as the one
in which Oosterbaan and Harrigan
featured last night. Long shots were
not in vogue as far as the Wolverines
were concerned for they had little
trouble in wvorking the ball through
the Purdue defense for short shots.
When one of the Wolverines failed
to complete a throw, Oosterbaan was
generally beneath the basket to try
his deadly short shots.
IKent Commends Team
Maurice Kent, basketball coach at.
Northwestern university, who scouted
the Purdue team last night, made the
following comment in regard to Mich-
igan's offense: "At the close of last
season, Michigan had the strongest of-
fense I have ever seen in the Con-
ference, but after tonight's game I am
inclined to believe that the Wolverines
are stronger this year. Undoubtedly
the Oosterbaan-Harrigan combination
beneath the basket is the greatest in
the Big Ten. Oosterbaan is certainly a
great player." -
After a short period at the begin-
ning of the game, Purdue found the
Michigan defense almost impregnable.
The Boilermakers found few opportun-
ities to shoot, and when they had pos-
session of the ball they were forced to
try to score from long range. Purdue's
passing attack was ineffective for the
most part, Chambers and McCoy fea-
turing in snatching the ball away from
the Purdue players when they started
for the basket. On the other hand,
Michigan had little trouble in getting
near the basket, bringing the ball nea
the goal on short passes and by tge
spectacular dribbling of Harrigan.
Close Game Expected
During the first five minutes of play
the game gave prorhise - of being.an
exceedingly close contest, but when
the Boilermakers reached the five
point mark, they seemed to strike a
lull and Michigan scored ten points
before the Boilermakers could break
into the scoringscolumn again. By the
end of the first half, Michigan had
amassed 21 points to 9 for Purdue.

CueC1a c a, av u. g p
France and Italy definitely opposed,
President Coolidge is in a position to
determine with reasonable accuracy
the chances of success with which a(
new attempt on his part to promote
a supplemental naval agreement may
be undertaken.
The British reply to the American
conference suggestion, regarded offi-
cially as a categorical acceptance, was
made public today without comment
from the White House or State de-'
partment. While it outlines certain-
I aspects of British naval policy that
must b~e considered, it leaves the ex-!
act means by which priicples of the
Washington naval treaty might be
extended open to future discussion.
It also cautions as to the necessity of
"capital adjustment" of the proposed
naval conference with the work of
Geneva preparatory commission.
Most officials believe that the mat-
ter now has passed into the realm of
informal diplomatic exchanges. Pos-
sibly these are already in progress
1 and will be continued between the
delegations of the naval powers when
they resume in Geneva, March 21,
the deliberations of the preparatory
commission.
