By the Associated Press. SANTE FE, N. Mex, July 22.—Con- fident that Albert B. Falls physical | condition, even though disabling, i5 not critical, and that he is able to serve his prison term, Dr. Eugene W. Fiske, prison_physician, today set about the regulation df a program to remodel the lifetime habits of his patient. The physician hopes Fall may soon be moved from a private room to the gen- eral hespital ward. Transition to Be Gradual. Dr. Fiske said the transition would be made gradually in order to avoid any aggravation of Fall's ills, a condi- tion which might result from an im- mediate change to prison routine. Dr. Piske expressed the belief Fall's condition may undergo general im- | provement in prison. | _ “The future, which has concerned Fall for many ye"rs, has been settled,” Dr. Fiske said.” “He lost his case and i he is in prison. His major difficulties | are settled. Mr. Fall is of strong men- {tality and should adjust himself to | the new situation quickly.” Slayer to Be Caretaker. Bob Evans, a murder convict who last Christmas won a commutation of |a life sentence, which sets him free in two years, has been assigned to take | care of Fall. { Mrs. Fall and her daughters, Mrs. C. C. Chate and Mrs. Jouett Elliott, are still in Santa Fe, but they have {not gone to the penitentiary. CLEMENCY APPEAL STUDIED. Department Decides to Act | Without Fall's Request, By the Associated Press. | Although Albert B. Fall has made | no personal application to President | Hoover for clemency, an exception has been made of the former cabinet mem- | ber's case and the Justice Department has_undertaken a study of it. ‘The exception was made from a presi- dential ruling that petitions for par- | dons must be signed by the applicants fberure they are to be considered. How- ever, the Justice Department began col- | lecting facts upon which a recommen- dation for or against clemency might | be made on the basis of petitions from Senators Cutting and Bratton of New Mexico and that State's legislative | branches. These petitions were sent to the White House and referred to the Justice Department. Only Routine Followed. Only the routine investigation would | be made, Attorney General Mitchell sald yesterday, adding that efforts were being made to obtain opinions from the men who prosecuted and sentenced the er Secretary of the Interior as to | what if any clemency should be shown. | Mitchell also said the rule generally compelling a prisoner to serve a third of his sentence before his petition would be considered need not necessarily apply to Fall. Fall yesterday became prisoner 6991 in the New Mexico State Penitentiary. Under his conviction in connection with the naval ofl reserve leases, he was sentenced to” a year and a day in prison and fined $100,000. Attorney General Mitchell said that wher> none of the persons consulted about granting clemency to a prisoner decide favorably, no report was sent the President except at his request and in capital cases. Otherwise, he said, a report was submitted to the Chief Ex- ecutive. He made clear Mr. Hoover had not asked for a report on the Fall case. | Justice OLD PLANE TOO SLOW GUGGENHEIM DECIDES U. S.

Opponents of 15 Per Cent Increase Given Time to Prepare Case. By the Associated Press. ‘The Interstate Commerce Commission has suspended hearings on the rail- roads’ application for a 15 per cent in- crease in freight rates to permit the opposition to prepare its case. ‘The action was taken late yesterday after attorneys had argued for hours on whether the hearings should be con- tinued without interruption until August 31. Railroad representatives maintained the proceedings should con- tinue, while attorneys for the opposition claimed they needed time for study. Resumption Date Not Set. No date was set for resumption of the hearings. _However, _Commissioner Meyer, presiding, announced the com- mission would consider a motion of the railroads to resume testimony before August 31. During the day, Chairman Brainerd of the commission, issued a declaration of independence from all outside pres- sure in acting on the appeal for higher Xn a letter to Senator "Capper, Re- publican, Kansas, the chairman said the commission would not be stampeded | into approving the increase. He added it would continue as previously “to render its decisions based upon ‘the record as made’ undisturbed by all the winds that blow.” Senator Capper had telegraphed Brainerd of news stories containing a threat by Representative Beck of Penn- sylvania to urge congressional action if the commission did not act quickly and favorably on the railroads’ application. ‘The Kansan said the Pennsylvania Re- publican’s threat was even “more short- sighted and more inopportune than the application of the railroads” for the in- crease. $27,189,657,479 Fixed Cost. ‘The commrsison also announced the Valuation Bureau fixed cost of com- plete reconstruction of the roads as of December 31, 1930, at present prices at $27,189,657 Handmade Brick at $4.50 Per Thousand iron fence, conies, ete. = is ares containing many fine old homes offer Dractifally Sverythine of ne Bncst Tmeeded (6 "beiid ' pepmip oective builders Carved marble mantels. wrought antlque windows—doors— electrical fixtures, Plumbing, steam and hot-water plant, ete., etc. HARRIS WRECKING CO. 361 Pa.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 22.—Okla- homa State is going to be a lenient landlord to 2,120 farmers living on pub- lic_school land. Gov. W. H. Murray, who himself was once a farmer, has set aside a State statute by executive order and declared & moratorium on the payment of 1930~ 1931 rentals on 340,000 acres of flrm land owned by the State until ary 1, 1932 ‘The order was issued after 60 farm- ers from Kay, Noble, Garfield and Grant Counties appeared befors the Governor and other members of the State School Land Commission yesterday and asked for leniency. ‘Their spokesman said that as a result of last year's drought and present low prices for wheat and oats many of the tenants would lose their homes if they were compelled to pay rentals this year. In setting aside the statute, Gov. Murray asserted the chief executive of the State possessed the inherent right to act in the “interest of humanity in times of emergency.” The statute provides that officers of the School Land Board who fail to comply with the regulations governing collection of rentals shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor.
