CONCERNS IMPEDE
 UTILITIES PROBE
Failure to Submit Data Holds
 Up Commission Work

Washington. Oct. " Pl-The fed eral trade commission considers that It's survey of the financial organiza- ton of public utility power compan- nes is being impeded by the failure Of some corporations to furnish it with important information, par ticularly data on mergers.
 This factor and shortage of funds, the commission said in it's current quarterly report to congress F providing a serious obstacle in it's effort to carry out he task given it by congress.
 The commission is particularly anxious that .he Questionnaires which it sent to power holding cor porations be returned promptly and asserted in it's report that large con- cerns had failed to submit these reports, although in many instances they had actually been prepared by subsidiary companies.
 The task of tracing the growth of capital assets has grown "laborious," the report, which was submitted yes- terday, said, because of the "numer- ous complicated mergers and con- solidations effected through the use Of intermediates and syndicates, to- gether with the lack of uniformity and the complexity of holding com- pany accounting methods and the employment of numerous subsidiary companies"

 Pointing out that other countries had secured trade in Latin America by superior merchant marines, Cole said completion of the inter-Ameri- can highway would do more to pro- mote business between the north and south continents than any one thing.

JOLIET PRISONERS
 SOOTHED IN TALK
Warden Tells Men He Will Try
 to Assist Them

Joliet, H.. Oct. r tP)-Unrest among the 5000 prisoners of the state penitentiary led prison officials today to take action intended 10 be both conciliatory and defensive.
 Evidence of official concern was seen last night when the prison population was called together in the mess hall and address by the warden. Major Harry Hill.
 At the same time members of some Chicago units of the Illinois national guard said a preparedness order has been issued for them to be in readiness for emergency duty, but thil was denied by national guard officials.
 The unrest is predicated upon q recent state supreme court decision involving paroles. The court ruled that prisoners serving 10-year-to- life sentences must serve at least 10 years before being eligible for parole. Previously. such prisoners were eli gible to parole after serving six years and three months.
 With recent prison disorders fresh in mind, and with the knowledge that Illinois penitentiary prisoners

Flood Water
 ReDOrted Recading

Miami. Fla, Oct. r LP}-Flood waters which for several days have covered Hialcah, Miami suburb, and hundreds of square miles of outly- ing territory, were receding today.
 There has been no apprcciabe recession of the flood in Hialeah proper, but from other points, where acres of land were inundated out toward the Everglades territory, have come reports of gradual de- clines in high water marks. This generally was true as regards sec tons both 10 the north and south of Miami. as the huge lake caused by heavy rains, drained into the sea through canals and the Miami river.
 Hialeah, still flooded, but without gain in high water, apparently had borne the brunt of the overflow.

THE FALL VERDICT

III, IT would be difficult to find single man in the
onlted States, not excepting Atee Pomerene Sem
a1or walsh who wants to Albert B. Fall go pris-
On, Following his conviction of accepting bribe from
=. Il. Doheny, in the famous Elks Hill oil scandal.
In fact, both Pomerene, who prosecuted the case
the government, and Senator Walsh, who instgated
the original Teapot Dome and Elks Hills investigation,
nave gone on record with the jury, recommending
mercy Tor the former secretary of the interior
rall is an old man, and sick Regardless of
the contempt must feel for officer who betrays
ms trust, certain Fall did, there is also ad
mratlon for his personal grit and courage in carrying
through the present trial There isno sham about Falls
illness, and is doubtful he could survive than
few months in prison at the very most.
The people of the United States do need any
than the verdict of guilty which returned yeser
day That punishment enough for Fall Convicted of
selling his country for gold the Benedict Ar
mold would have been convicted, could he have been
tried, puts Fall in class that few wish to join
The oil scandal of the Harding has been an
standing disgrace in national politics. The fact that
those who participated in it not only betrayed their
country but betrayed the trust and confidence of the
who had selected them for high office made their
acts particularly reprehensble That only the aged
Fall has been convicted of criminal offence is
ter to be regretted There others tarred with the
stick.

ANOTHER DISGRACE

We hold no brief for the hostess of the New York
night club who awarded damages of $4,000
against Harry X. Thaw for from all indications she is
of the class that best be described as gold Dig
gers
But if ever were glad to read of somebody being
relieved of bit of money it is this disgusting and dis
reputable scion of honorable house, who by all the
laws of society should be in insane asylum The ag
gravatng part of it is that 900 means little to Thaw
with his millions.
For almost quarter of a century Thaw has been
in the public eye, always in a notorious and criminal
light Had he been without his millions there is little
doubt he would have been eiectrocuted given long
prison term for the deliberate murder of Stanford
White, instead of a few years in a New York asylum
from which he was permitted to escape, and subse-
quently awarded his liberty by Pennsylvania
court.
1t disgrace to humanity that such things Thaw
permitted to live at ALL much less the nation
at large and mngle with decent society.

SOME CLIMATE

Turning the discussion from Falls and Thaws, what
fault be found with the present brand of Imperial
Valley weather? True is that the change from heat to
crspy temperature has been sudden, but the less
it is welcome
These mornings make think of days back east
when the frost on the pumpkin, and the snap in
the air just made want to do things.
The bracing tang that is in the air makes forget
the langud days of the summer, and the knowledge
that such weather be expected for the next several
months is pleasant to contemplate.
Aside from the personal pep and energy autumn
brings to US, the present cool snap of great mater
ia benefit to Imperial VALLEY. We have an enormous
lettuce crop coming on, which has not been helped in
the least by summers tactics in lingering in the lap of
autumn. The change to the natural temperature for
this time of year means much in terms of dollars and
cents.
This is the brand of weather we want to emphasize
when discussing Imperial Valley with outsiders, and
not try to impress them with our herosm in living in
place where the mercury climbs above 10 in the
with frequent regularity. We not ashamed OF
our summer brand, for il is that heat that pro-
duces our crops, but it is likely to be mis-
construed by those who do not know it, that discussion
is somewhat dangerous.
If there is a more delightful climate for this time
