FALLANDDOHENY FATES UP BEFORE JURYJFYOUTHS Oil Scandal Decision by Men as Young as 23 Years. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Age is bar. Youth is sitting in judgement. It is to be th© young generation, boys of the Jazz age, which passes on the rectitude of the lives of Albert B. Pall and Edward It Doheny. Fall and Doheny are old men. Both have white hair. Both have grown sons. Might be Fathers Either of them might be father of half the twelve young men who are sitting in judgement on them; either might be grandfather of the other si* youths who have been called to sensor officially lives that were more than half lived before they were born. Youth, they say, is hard in its judgements and unforgiving toward a generation which has failed to pass on it a better world. That' perhaps accounts for the fact that it was the government counsel who challenged older men on the jury panel until twelve men were left in the box whose average age is 31.

Six in Twenties Six members of the Fall-Doheny jury'are in their twenties, and three of them are only 23, two others 24. One man is 30 and one 35. Four are in their fourties, and the oldest is 44. The five youngest had not reached their legal majorities when Senator Thomas J. Walsh, upon Capitol Hill, unearthed the fact which resulted in the present trial. They were at school or doing odd jobbs, or playing. The effect is of a sophomore class trying its professors. The jurymen are fairly good-look-ing young chaps, four of thenv-clerks, an electrician, a truck driver, a steward, an artist, a steamfitter, an architect, a salesman, anew stand owner. Are Different But in one respect they are different from other such boys in any other part of the United States. Nearly all of them have grown up in the District of* Columbia, where their fathers cannot vote and where they cannot vote. Most of them have never cast a ballot for any public official. Most of them when quesI ioned by counsel expressed utter indifference toward government. None of accepted for the

jury, had read more than the barest headlines of the naval oil scandal cases when they were being blazoned over the coimtry three years ago. Borne of them had never heard of the case. In fact, 'of twentyseven men/ examined as possible jurors, only two admitted having read beyond headlines of the oil stories and forming any slight opinion as to the issues involved. Lattte Concerned The stories, which meant absolutely nothing in the lives of these young men, concerned the highest and most trusted officials of the United States Government. They some of these officials had accepted bribes, conspired against the Government and proved unfaithful to the faith bestowed on them. They charged that the ability of the United States to defend itself from a foreign enemy was imperilled by the acts of these men.
