ARMY PHYSICIANS
TO DECIDE UPON
FATE OF FALL

Ell PASO, Tex, June IT. U.P)-
Upon the decision of Fort Bliss
army doctors as to his condition
rested Albert B. Falls last hope to-
day of escaping the prison sentence
he had fought through the high
est courts of the nation to avoid.
The former secretary of the in
terror consented to the physical ex-
animation after a telegram from
his attorney, Frank j. Hogan, in
formed him that government Off
cials demanded he either submit to
army doctors at Fort Bliss or appear
at once in Washington for sentence.
Falls own physicians pronounced
him unfit to make the long trip to
the capital city. If the army doc
tors agree, it was believed likely
the supreme court of the District
of Columbia would parole him.

Jose Espinosa Taken Into
Custody Following Po-
lice Investigation.

cans who will probably be charged
with the murder of Francis Pearl

Charges of robbery were filed
against L. P. jenkins, "a, accused of
hijacking customers In his own beer
establishment near Brawley by
holding them up with a shotgun
last Friday.

gether. Jack Carter and Ernest
Clay from the sheriffs office went

The second Mexican is still sought

SCIENTIST RELATES CAUSE OF
SO. CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES

which runs southeaSterly from San
Bernardino through San Jacinto
and FL Centre to the Mexican bor-
der. confirmed the previously sus-
pected fact that the pull of the
moon and sun on the earth operates
to determine the time of the earth
quakes.
The shocks are not caused by
the pull Of the moon because they
would happen eventually in any
event. he hastened to point out
"but in far too many cases to be a
chance result. The San Jacinto
fault earthquakes occur when the
moon is in a certain point in the
sky"
The critical times, Allen said,
seem to be nearly five hours after
the moon passes the meridian and
again IL hours later.
THE particular manner IN which
the moon sets Off the San Jacinto
fault quakes indicates that the
average weak earthquake IN the re-
gion originates on some part of the
fault which has no strength to re-
sist earthquakes forces-probably in
the most part at relatively shallow
Depths" he stated.
The moon seems to have little If
any influence in the cases OF the
stronger shocks, he reported.
When a minor earthquake is
all set and ready to occur" Allen
stated, "it is set off by the small
increase of the maximum tidal pull
by the sun and moon as they come
closer into line as a new or full
moon date approaches.
Allen indicates he believed that
the moon did its work by its pull
on the earth and through piling
up water in the upper part of the
Gulf of California
The direct earth tides and the
water tides both seem to be near
their greatest effectiveness at The
time of most earthquakes in this
region and it is probable that the
two combine to set them off,"

PASADENA Cal. June II. U.P)-
The elements that go to make a
mild earthquake, get together along
o known quake fault and then just
wait for the moon and sun to set
them off.
AT least that is the way the mil
der tremors ordinarily start along
the San Jacinto fault-or earth
break-in southeastern California,
Maxwell H. Allen, seismologist, said
at today's session of the 88th meet
ing of the American Association for

The seismologist said that in his
opinion the prospective quakes
sometimes reach the rupturing
stage several days or weeks before
they actually occur.

RAILROADS OF
COUNTRY ASK
RATE INCREASE
Declare Move Necessary
Ii Improvements Are
To Be Protected.

WASHINGTON, June II. W.p)-
Railroads of the United States to-
day unanimously petitioned the in
terstate commerce commission for
a is per cent increase in all freight
rates and charges.
The petition, signed by j. s. Pei
ley, chairman of the eastern group;
M. A. Scandrett, western and noun
tain Pacific group. and w r. Cole,
southern group, termed the present
situation of the railroads as an
emergency Threatening serious i'm
pairment of their financial re-
sources and their capacity to as
sure the public a continuance of
efficient and adequate service"
Embodying 20 printeG pages, the
petition set forth in detail the
plight of the roads with earnings
falling off to return of 224 per
cent on property investments; pre-
carious status of railroad bonds
which would make securing of ad-
ditional capital difficult, heavy
competition from trucks and busses
and the problem Of wages for rail-
road workers.
In connection with wages, the Pc
tition said: THE policy of the fed
eral government, concurred in by
managements of most leading in
dustries, is that the revival of in
dustry and commerce should be
predicated, for the time being at
least, upon the maintenance of ex-
isting wage scales" 1t was con-
cluded that if the wage question
must be met with, it must be at a
later stage because of the time ele-
ment.
To overcome loss in revenues, the
railroads had to resort to drastic
economies resulting in deferred
maintenance in their properties
which must be made up" Steam
railway transportation, the petition
continued has not become mori-
bund enterprise. It is essential to
the economic welfare of the country
and Indispensable to the national
defense. All that is necessary to
maintenance of an adequate ma
tional system of transportation is
that the country should be able to
act on that assurance"

however. must be given in writing and the
teacher must be given an opportunity to
