Secretary Fall vexecuted . the lease to

non-competitive 'way,", nd declared
that the government .had lost be
tween : $15,000,000 and . $20,000,000
by reason "of the low. rate of royalties
stipulated in the contract. Secretary
Fall authorized a statement to be
published in the Boston Transcript
by way of rejoinder to Senator Ken
drick. The reply that Secretary Fall
made : to Senator - Kendrick's charge
of secrecy in th eexecution of the
lease was this:
'Numerous interviews with the
leading oil companies convinced Sec
retary Fall that Sinclair (promotor
of the Mammoth Company) was the
only man in a position to make a
suitable contract. This point never
has been understood and Secretary
Fair has been too-proud to explain
it;, hence the charge that the con
tract was negotiated 'in secrecy.' It
was in the sense that the Secretary
did not advertise for bids."
. Whether it is Secretary Fall's in
vincible pride that prevents the Sen
ate Committee on Public Lands from
shifting 'the charges . and evidence
filed with. U.by ..Senator LaFollette is
not clear but the, fact is. that no ac-,
tion has been- taken . notwithstanding

LONDON, Oct. 19. The Lloyd George coalition';
. received its death blow at the hands of the' conserva- ,
tive party when the members and government' min- u'
isters at their meeting in the Carlton Club today
voted by 186 to 87 to appeal to the country as the
conservative party. This creates a situation of the
greatest confusion and uncertainty the country has
known for many years. -
The next move, certain to be made, will be the
resignation of Austen Chamberlain and his associates
Lord Balfour and Lord Birkenhead from the cabinet.
It is expected Lloyd George will then present -hit
resignation to the King and advise him to summon a
cabinet leader to form a government. . . ;
This course would be taken because the conserva
tives have the largest number of members in the
house of commons. . ,
The conservative leader expected to be picked '
is either Andrew Banar Law or the Early of Derby.
LONDON, Oct. 19. King
George, who has been on a holi
day at Sand Bingham, returned
.
to London today. It is expected
that Lloyd George will be receiv
ed by him late today.

of the other cabinet members,
