BITTERNESS IN RELATIONS ON FALL’S POLICY Senate Adopts Resolution to Probe Leases of Oil i Lands. Special to Indiana T ■ lly Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger WASHINGTON, May I.—Such bitterness as In times past has marked the relations of Secretary Fall as a member of the Senate with Republican* holding' divergent views on conservation threatened to be again aroused since the Senate, without a dissenting voice, adopted by a vote of 59 to 0, the La Follette resolution calling for an extensive Investigation of the lease to private interests of the naval oil reserves. The resolution referred specifically to the lease by Mr. Fall, with the concurrence of the Navy department of the Teapot Dome tract In Wyoming to the Mammoth Oil Company through Harry F.

One of the first objects of the Investigation Is to determine whether or not, as asserted by Mr. Fall, the conservation of the oil In the Teapot Dome was threatened by drainage through wells In adjacent territory. The Interior department submitted to the Senate a copy of the contract under which the Teapot Dome oil tract was leased. The Investigation Involves this contract. Following adoption of the resolution, .there developed a debate in which Sengators Hitchcock, of Nebraska, and Borah, 1 of Idaho condemned the lease of the Teapot Dome tract. Without committing themselves on the lease. Senators Norris, of Nebraska, Foindexter, of Washington, and Harreld, of Oklahoma, urged all the facts of the case be laid bare. When Mr. Hitchcock pointed out that the naval oil reserves were not leased during the Wilson administration, Mr. Norris objected to giving the question a partisan character. The first naval oil reserve, he pointed out, was set aside during the Taft adm'.nlsteatlon. Th* contention of Mr. Hitchcock that
