FOOD IS MOVING INTO PORTO RICO
Rcd Gross Is Supervising Work
 on Island

San Juan. Porto Rico, Sept. 20 R) Food supplies were moving into the hurricanes stricken districts out side of San Juan today under Red Cross supervision. Tents and blankets were being distributed by the army for emergency hospitals and for the shelter of those weak ened by privation.
 The food was taken directly from the transport st. Mihiel in army trucks which had been placed at the disposal of the Red Cross by Colonel George Helms, commanding the 9th U. s. Infantry.
 Plans Under Way
 With actual relief either provided for or plans we'll under way for it., attention was centered on putting Porto Rico to work to keep idleness down and restore morale through self help. As the problem of re- employment is largely agricultural. E. B. Thomas, manager of the branch of the federal land bank of Baltimore, told farm groups he has assurances the bank will stand by and help them carry on. With this assurance. farmers took hope 10 thousands of families that employ ment and wages were in sight.
 In an effort to check profiteering the San Juan Chamber of Commerce threatened to cut off both merchan- disc and credit Where help was needed, however. the organization pledged it's members lenient credit and delay on collections A com mittee was appointed to report promptly on comprehensive plans for reconstruction and rehabilitation. xGO,OG Advanced
 Funds of s6o.o0o were advanced by banks to the citizens relief con- mittee headed by Justice Del Toro. They were placed in the hands of agencies for distribution in every city and town.
 Three members of the staff cf Henry M. Baker. Red Cross director of disaster relief. were making a rapid survey of the further needs of the island. MT. Baker mean while planned to sail for the Virgin Islands and see what could be done to relieve the people there.
 A local political quarrel has pre- vented the removal of garbage and debris from the streets of San Juan since the hurricane. The municipal assembly, which has been attempt ing to impeach Mayor Todd re- fused to appropriate funds re- quested by him for use in the emer- gency The mayor then appealed to the merchants to supply him with trucks without charge so that the debris might be. removed.

where they were found after identi- fication If possible. A courier brought the first word from San Sebastian. in a high mountain valley in the northwest of the country, ad- vising the Red Cross that %6 bodies had been found there up to Sunday when he left.
 With these reports coming in ob- servers said that there was ample substantiation that the estimate of 1000 dead was justifiabl and con- servative. Although insular police have reported only 1o6 dead their reports covered known dead up to noon Tuesday and were at variance

DnE INTO POWER
 UTILITY MATTERS
Poddu Trade Commission Hear
 ing on in Washington

Washington, Sept. 20 R-Steps taken by the New Jersey Utility as- sociation to keep in touch with leg islatjon pending before the state legislature were traced yesterday in the federal trade commissions invest igation of power utilities during tes- timony by William H. Roth, secre- tary.
 He produced financial records. by which Robert F.. Healy. commls- sion counsel, disclosed that daily re- ports of legislative activities were received along with copies of all hills introduced Correspondence also brought out that references tc discussion of matters pending before the legislature had been eliminated from minutes of the association meeting.
 One letter written by Roth ln March, 1927, regarding an increased assessment for support Of the state public utility information commit tee. described that committee as having done much good for utlll- ties generally, especially in the mat ter of opposing and preventing ad- verse legislation from getting through"
 This is a matter that We don't advertise for obvious reasonss the letter continued. ''The general edu- cation benefit derived by the utility industry, through the dissemination of facts through our information committee cannot be measured 1n dollars and cents"
 Working In 3S States
 Roth wrote that such committees were working in 3S states to put ln- formation of all kinds at the disposal of schools and other institutions, ana said this would bring about pet- ter understanding of the importance of the utility industry, and as you know when a person understands d thing he is less apt to oppose II.
 Healys examination dwelt partlc- ularly on the connection win the association of Professor Theodore d. Grayson, who does extension worn for the University of Pennsylvania Many small payments 10 dfaysoh were listed in the financial accounts and Roth said these were for eA- nenses in connection with arranging and attending meetings for the as- sociation as it's treasurer.
 Keeps Minutes
 . l. ,,t
 He said, under questioning, that Grayson had kept the minutes oi the February 1926 meeting at Iren- ton and had included in them re- port of discussion affecting legls- lation.
 Following this, Healy produced letters which showed that bot1 had advised the minutes to elimin- ate these references and that Gray son had approved the revision. Rot7 said this practice was "a policy o1 the executive committee.
 The financial account showed tha' the association had contributed sl, 900 to the information committee last April toward the printing O pamphlets OH nntilities intended fcl school distribution. Roth testified however, that he understood this printed matter had never been dis tributed. He noted that the lnfor- nation committee was distinct from luis association, which he said main tained headquarters in Philadelphia
