Tampering Is Charged
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press Star Corresnondenl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Activ-
tiles Of New Jersey utility interests
in keeping track of and attempting
to influence legislation in that State
were disclosed today in the Federal
Trade Commissions power investi-
cation.
With William H. Roth, Phila-
delphia, secretary of the New Jersey
Utilities Association, as a witness.
the commission developed a close
surveillance maintained by his
group over actions of the State Leg
islature at Trenton.
Roth explained that for years he
has paid the New Jersey legislative
service to provide a daily record
of all bills presented in the legis-
lature and their disposition. He also
obtains copies of bills as soon as
printed through the Office of the
Secretary Of State
When bills of interest to utilities
are introduced, Roth said, he sends
promptly to his executive COM
mittee a report on their content.
Arrangements are smade then to
have utilities agents appear in OPP
position to the measures before
legislative committees.
Much of the legislative work has
been handled by Prof. Theodore j.
Crayson, an instructor in the
Wharton School Of the University
of Pennsylvania, Roth testified.
The New Jersey association spends
between $4,000 and $4,000 year,
Roth said in its publicity and other
activities.
In April of the present year, a
voucher showed the association ap-
propriated 1000 to go toward costs
of distributing utility pamphlets to
schools of the State. Roth said he
could not say whether this ever was
actually done.

febris and wreckage.
Because of scarity of food, shelter,
clothing and medical supplies, suf-
scring is intense.

7Gttle, horses and other animals is

distance of two miles near Moore

Relief workers believe that similar
eonditions exist throughout the

Scores who escaped with their

At Okeechobee City on the north

INSURGENTS OF
C, 0, P. LOSE in
WISCONSIN TILT
Regulars Defeat La Toilette
Branch by IndorSing
National Ticket.
BY WILLARD r. SMITH
United Press staff Correspondent

MADISON, Wis. Sept. 19.-Reg-
ular Republicans of Wisconsin
gained victory over the La Fol-
lette Progressive element in State
convention here by a narrow mar
gin casting out the Progressive plat
form and adopting one indorsing
the national Republican ticket.
The convention was a turbulent
one. lasting from noon Tuesday I'M
til $50 a. m. today. The biggest
fight came over the platforms sub
mitted by the two factions, with
proposals for investigations of cam
paign expenditures causing the
greatest argument.
The forces led by Senator Robert
M. La Toilette succeeded in placing
their candidate, Herman L. Ekern,
Madison, as chairman of the State
central committee, and Lieutenant
Governor Henry A Huber as chair
man of the convention, but the reg
ulars claimed "a of the A members
on the central committee.
Lose Plank Fight
The progressive forces attempted
to insert a plank in the platform
decrying expenditure of money on
such a scale in the recent primary
Walter j. Kohler, regular, Million
aire manufacturer, was chosen as
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in the primary.
This plank was branded as a d.
rect attack on Kohler and a sub
stitute plank calling for strengthen
ing of the corrupt practices act was
submitted by the regulars and
adopted. 1t urged a thorough inves-
tigation OF the expenditures during
the 1924, 1926 and 1928 campaigns.
Loses by Three Votes
The Progressive platform, similar
to the one La Toilette submitted at
the national Republican convention
in Kansas City. was defeated by
a three-vote margin. The platform
failed to indorse the national Re
publican ticket, a fact which was
stressed in the regular fight against
the platform.
Ekern's selection as chairman of
the central committee came as a
surprise, following the regular vic
tory on the platform He was OPP
posed by Walter S. Goodland, a
Kohler adherent, who had opposed
vigorously the Progressive platform.
A secret ballot gave Ekern sixty
one votes and Goodland f1fty-six.
