ALABAMA BALLOTS | ARE SHIPPED HERE First Lot Sent to Senate Group for Use in Bankhead- Heflin Contest. By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 7.———‘ Shipment of ballots cast in the Alabama general election last November to the | United States Senate subcommittee ap- | inted to hear former Senator J.| omas Heflin's contest of the election | of Senator-elect John H. Bankhead | ‘was begun yesterday. | F. H. Creech, committee representa- | tive, took possession of the Mflmzflmery‘ County ballot boxes and turned them i over to the Post Office Department for shipment. He said ballot boxes were being taken over in other counties | and that in two weeks all ballots would | have been shipped to Washington. Senator Heflin, in filing his contest, alleged irregularities and fraud through- out the State. Just after the election, he charged he had been counted out' and termed it “the most colossal and scientific piece of thievery.” Replying to the charges, Senator Bankhead said the petition in the con- test did not name specific instances, Recently in a statement Senator Bankhead said Senator Heflin had one or more watchers at nearly every ballot box in the State, adding, “I am at a loss to understand what the contest is all about and why the w'*aym are called on to pay out many thousands of dollars in conducting the contest.” Alabama Legislature several weeks ago adopted a resolution asking sheriffs to turn ballot boxes over to the committee conducting the contest. Pre- viously the Legislature had adopted resolutions “condemning the very poor sportsmanship” of Senator Heflin in contesting the election. DANCER MAY TESTIFY AGAIN IN ATTACK CASE Eunice Pringle Is Willing to Ap- pear Against Pantages During His Retrial. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, April 7.—Eunice Pringle, 18-year-old dancer, has an- nounced her willicgness to reappear as g:a;ecutl.nz witness against Alexander tages, wealthy theater magnate, who was convicted last year of crim- inally attacking her. Originally sentenced to serve one to fifty years in prison, Pantages appealed. ‘The Supreme Court reversed ths judg- ment and ordered a retrial.

STAY OF 3) DAYS FOR FALL SOUGHT Appeal to Supreme Court Is Remotely Possible, Former Cabinet Member Says. By the Associated Press. A decision to file a stay, extending for 30 days the time of invoking the court mandate which might cend Albert B. Fall to prison' for a year, was an- nounced today at the office of Frank J. Hogan, counsel for the former Interior Secretary. ‘The District of Columbia Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed the decision of a lower court, which sentenced Fall to a year in jail and a fine of $100,000 for accepting a bribe from Edward L. Doheny, oil operatcr, for signing a lease gn“;he naval oil reserve at Elk Hflls, alif. Hogan cabled his office from Europe, suggesting the stay. Since 15 days is allowed before the mandate to send Fall to jail is invoked, the stay would 5”! him 45 days more of certain free- >m. Fall, now more than 69 years of age, at his ranch near Three Rivers, N. M., said yesterday it was “remotely pos- sible, but not probable” that he would appeal to the Supreme Court. APPEAL CONSIDERED. Remotely Possible He Will Take Case to Supreme Court, Fall Says. THREE RIVERS, N.Mex., April 7 (). —Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, was debating today the advis- ability of appealing from a decision of the District of Columbia Court of Ap- peals affirming his conviotion of taking | transaction with Edward L. Doheny. Mr. Fall said it was “remotely pos- sible,” but not probable, he would ap- He said his decision would wait until he received a copy of the court's action. He awaited it at his Tres Rios ranch home. The Appellate Court upheld the sen- | tence of one-year imprisonment and | $100,000 fine against Fall, who served in | the cabinet of President Harding. “I am a poor man,” he said, “and I have no money for further legal de- fense. Certainly I cannot pay the heavy fine. “I am an old man, and for the last | eight years I have known little but trouble. In many respects, the decision | is a welcome relief, for the weight of | suspense has been heavy.” i He recalled that the ranch he once | attempted to buy from Doheny was not his now. “It is rented and my only income is from a small herd of beef cattle, and my wife sells some butter and milk in El Paso,” he said. “I am not guilty,” he said, “and the greal masses of people who put me in positions of trust long before I became Secretary of the Interior do not believe | me guilty.” DRK.

He not only found no substantial op- | position to Mr. Foover's renomination in 1932, but on the contrary, came back convinced that the President will be the l!:xhoice of his party again by acclama- on. No Opposition Seen. Col. Horace Mann, one of the South- ern leaders of the Republican campaign in 1928, recently contended the South would send a solid delegation of 232 votes to the Republican Convention de- manding a new order in politics. His claim was interpreted as an anti-Hoover movement. “President Hoover will be renominated by acclamation,” Brown said. “There will be no opposition to his renomination in the Republican party. “I talked with Republican leaders in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia and received some information of political conditions in Alabama and Louisiana. “Southern Republicans will enthusias- tically support Mr. Hoover's renomina- Xmm'l. I found no evidence of the move- ment Col. Mann :s sald to be fostering. ‘The Postmaster General said the reg- ular Republican Southern organizations were “vi us and well able to take care of themselves” against any opposi- tion movement. “I don’t know where there is any con- siderable insurgent sentiment. What- | ever insurgency there is in the South is | merely a question of rival leadership, with no hostility to Mr. Hoover, Brown, one of the President’s closest vpout]i,clll :sdevdisen’.“l:dded he was “very much pleased” w litical condt in the South. i Srdoas .

DROUGHT REPORT PLEASES HOOVER Hyde Finds Encouraging Outlook on Tour of Stricken Area. President Hoover today received an extremely encouraging verbal rzport from Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, who has just returned from an exténded trip through the drought-strick=n area. Presider’t Hoover is so well pleased with the relief work done in the States affected and_the prospects for crops this coming Summer that he had Sec- retary Hyde tell the newspaper cor- conference with them, abcut what he observed and discoversd on his inspec- tion trip. Mr. Hyde stated that after talking with all manner of people, from bankers | down to the most humble farmhand, he found that the outlook is encouraging. He said recent rains have broke=n the drought and that the loans made by the Pederal Government, along with the help of the Red Cross, have been of the suffering, suffering among live stock and putting the agriculturists in those selves. According to Mr. Hyde, up until this morning the Government had made respondents at the President's biweekly | greatest assistance in preventing human | sections in & position to help them- | Commissioners Draper and Garsaud Head Group Named to Study Niagara Project. Headed by Commissioners Claude L. Draper and Marcel Garsaud, an en- gineering and _accounting group from the Federal Power Commission will leave here Sunday night to begin the valuation of the huge Niagara Falls for settlement of another ancient dis- pute, in which previous commissions engaged with the power concern. Wil- liam V. King, chief accountant, will be in the party. The Niagara Falls Co. is claiming a valuation of approximately $108,000,- 000, but heretofore has resisted the efforts of the Government to reach its own conclusion as to the figures. Re- cently, the company announced its willingness to subject its records to study, and arrangements immediately were made to begin the investigation. ‘The Niagara Falls valuation is the largest pending before the commission, and the decision of the operators to allow fullest latitude in the investiga- tion is viewed importantly as establish- ing a precedent which other concerns likely will follow. Several are in the same category. In event no agreement is reached in | the forthcoming study, the questions at ‘lssue will be submitted to the courts for adjudication. The plant at Niagara Falls was one of a number that already had been con- structed when the waterpower act was passed in 1920, under which they after- ward were licensed. With access to the records of the company denied, previ- ous commissions had been unable to establish the jurisdiction over the proj- ect that is granted by law.
