PLAN ON FOOT
FOR ACALA GIN

After spending yesterday at
Coachella c. C. Jenkins is back to-
day from Coachella, where he at
tended to business connected with
the winding up of the last details
ON the deal between the Imperial
County Farm Bureau and ,the Coach
ella Acala Seed Association for six
ear loads OF pure Acala cotton seed
20 be planted in this country. =
I" Imperial Valley would have tax
en- three more ears, had they been
available,' jenkins said today in
commenting upen the success of the
campaign for the planting of one
variety of cotton.
Plans for endeavQring to get one
gin in this county ito handle only
Acala cotton seed are being talked
of by local growers, Jenkins stated.
While no action has been taken yet,
several growers who are planting
pure Acale seed have already said
mat thev wouiG rather haul their
cotton to Coachella for ginning than
have it mixed with other varieties
in q gin handling everything.
Mr.. jenkins stated that Coachella
Valley, as far as is known, will
plant Acala without II single excep-
tiOn. This means that where ap-
proximately one million pounds of
pure seed was available there this
season, double this amount will be
ON the market next year. The Riv-
erside county board of supervisors
have passed Il regulation whereby
any community desiring the plant
ing to be restricted 10 one variety
only, will be protected by an order,
forbidding the planting of any other
kind.

GIVES VITAL POINTS
IN W0RKMEN'S LAW
Catholic q Report Stresses Fea.
lures Compensation Regula-
ton Should Have.

In a report made public yesterday
by the department of sociology Of the
Catholic University in connection
with the proposed workman's COM
pensation law for the District, num-
ber Of points favoring such law are
stressed
The report points out that there are
number Of instances of workmen
losing their arms and legs and re-
ceiving settlements of from $4,000 to
$4,000. a large part Of which had to
be paid to lawyers. Such cases. the
report declares. il they had occurred
In any other state would have
brought a settlement Of at least $6,-
600. and in New York by law would
have been considerably over that
amount.
Hopes Ended by Accidents.
"Workmen who toiled hard and long
to save little money saw 1t vanish
in an instant as the result of some
accidents for which they were not
to blame" the report states. why
should this economic burden be borne
by these rather than by the industry
responsible? Far from bearing the
burden, the employer. In many cases,
cc-ces the employe to silence by
threats of dismissal"
The report asserts IAN instance was
found in which an insurance com
pany brought pressure to bear upon
the employer not to re-hire the in
Jured employe unless he signed re-
lease for a mere pittance-$25.
There Is no positive evidence that
insurance companies make It their
practice to offer SIS to get rid OF q
claim. II suits are seriously threat
ened, they raise the offev to about
5000, regardless OF the nature OF
the injury. The $500 is based upon
what 1t would cost to defend the
suit" the report states.

MORE THAN 1O0,0 900 HELD
IN PRISONS OF PRUSSIA
Berlin Also Housing Overflow of
Convicted Criminals From the
Occupied Area.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 25.-There are
more than 100000 persons in the
prisons of Prussia alone. The ten
big prisons OF Berlin are all filled to
overf1owing as q result of the tnf1ux
Of prisoners from the occupied area.
The French and Belgians have been
using the prisons in the Ruhr and
Rhineland for their soldiers and con-
sequently the German prisoners have
been shipped eastward.
Courts are unable to care for the
criminal cases on their schedules and
the wave Of criminality is placing a
burden on tho already overloaded
government budget which Is a serious
handicap. Many criminals who should
be imprisoned are merely fined be-
cause Of the emergency and many
others must be paroled temporarily
until there Is space in the prisons
for them.
