SANTA FE, N. NJ, July IS. -
When Albert B. Fall, once one of
the most powerful political figures
in the nation, enters state prison
here as a convict, he probably will
be assigned to the new penitentiary
hospital, it was believed today.
Under conviction of accepting a
bride in connection with the Tea
pot Dome oil scandal when he was
a member of the late President
Harding's cabinet, Fall is expected
to arrive here soon to start serving
his sentence of year and day.
Warden Ed Swope declined to-
day to comment on whether Fall
will be assigned any duties, but it
generally is believed that due to
the aged politicians physical con-
dition he will be given a hospital
room.
The decision in Washington that
Fall might serve his prison sentence
here instead of in the capital, where
he was sentenced, was considered

Should his condition require 1t,
he may receive treatment from

Fall will not be obliged to eat
prison food unless he wishes, but if
he wants a special diet will have
to pay for it.

Government charged the veterans 6
per cent when they borrowed money.
The Government also pays taxpayers
who overpay their taxes per cent for
the period the Government retains the
overpaid taxes.
Congress having admitted that the
men were entitled to this adjusted
compensation, that question can hard
ly be raised again. 1t is contended
that there will be considerable diff
Guilty in raising the money to pay the
veterans now, but no one can tell
whether it will be any more or less
difficult to raise the money in 1915.
Under the existing law the Govern
ment will be required to sell $780,,
100000 of bonds in 1915 and it is quite
possible money rates will be very much
higher than now.
For these reasons and the economic
distress encountered by over 100000
it would be doing justice to the vet
Grams to pay the certificates in full
now and, in my judgment, would not
retard economic recovery.

Weapon to Seek Relief
for Sufferers.

Senator Caraway of Arkansas, in a
radio address on the drought situation
over Station WJsV last night said he
was sorry if he had made any unkind
remarks about President Hoover.

people of my State and other States
were hungry and cold and threatened
with disease and starvation" he said.
Feeling this way I fought with every
weapon at my disposal for relief for
these people. But now that an agree
ment has been reached am laying
down my arms and If have said any
thing unkind am sorry and want to
apologize.
II realized that Mr. Hoover was
President and had his responsibilities.
But felt relief should be provided and
I fought for it. If said anything I'M
kind about him am sorry"
Senator Caraway said the relief agree
ment reached yesterday by Senate and
House leaders was satisfactory" to him.
