CLEMENCY APPEAL STUDIED.
Justice Department Decides to Act
without Falls Request.


BY the Associated Press.
Although Albert B. Fall has made
no personal application to President
Hoover for clemency, an exception has
been made of the former cabinet mem
bers case and the Justice Department
has undertaken a study of it.
The exception was made from a presi-
Dental ruling that petitions for par
dons must be signed by the applicants
before they are to be considered How
ever, the Justice Department began col
lecting facts upon which recommen-
dation for or against clemency might
be made on the basis of petitions from
Senators Cutting and Bratton OF New
Mexico and that States legislative
branches. These petitions were sent to
the White House and referred to the
Justice Department.
Only Routine Followed.
Only the routine investigation would
be made, Attorney General Mitchell
said yesterday, adding that efforts were
being made to obtain opinions from the
men who prosecuted and sentenced the
former Secretary CT the Interior as to
what if any clemency should be shown.
Mitchell also said the rule generally
compelling a prisoner to serve a third
of his sentence before his petition would
be considered need not necessarily apply
to Fall.
Fall yesterday became prisoner 1891
in the New Mexico State Penitentiary.
Under his conviction in connection with
the naval oil reserve leases, he was
sentenced to a year and a day in
prison and fined 100000.
Attorney General Mitchell said that
where none of the persons consulted
about granting clemency to prisoner
decide favorably. no report was sent
the President except at his request and
in capital cases. Otherwise, he said, a
report was submitted to the Chief Ex-
ecutive. He made clear Mr.. Hoover
had not asked for report on the Fall
case.

OKLAHOMA GRANTS
FARM MORATORIUM
School Land Payments Sus-

Gov. Murray.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 22.-Okla-
homa State is going to be lenient
landlord to 2120 farmers living on pub
lie school land.
Gov. w. H. Murray, who himself was
once a farmer, has set aside a State
statute by executive order and declared
a moratorium on the payment of 1890
1881 rentals on 100000 acres of farm
land owned by the State until Febru-
airy i, 1882.
The order was issued after 90 farm
ers from Kay, Noble, Garfield and Grant
Counties appeared before the Governor
and other members of the State School
Land Commission yesterday and asked
for leniency.
Their spokesman said that as result
of last years drought and present low
prices for wheat and oats many Of the
tenants would lose their homes If they
were compelled to pay rentals this year.
In setting aside the statute, Gov.
Murray asserted the chief executive of
the State possessed the inherent right
to act in the interest of humanity in
times of emergency"
The statute provides that officers of
the School Land Board who fail to
comply with the regulations governing
collection of rentals shall be deemed
guilty Of misdemeanor.

TRAIL RATE HEARING
| HELD Up BY |. c. c.
Opponents of IS Per Cent
Increase Given Time to
Prepare Case.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has suspended hearings on the rail-
roads application for Is per cent in
crease in freight rates to permit the
opposition to prepare its case.
The action was taken late yesterday
after attorneys had argued for hours
on whether the hearings should be con-
tinued without interruption until
August 81 Railroad representatives
maintained the proceedings should con-
tinue, while attorneys for the opposition
claimed they needed time for study.
Resumption Date Not Set.
No date was set for resumption of the
hearings. However, Commissioner
Meyer, presiding, announced the COM
mission would consider motion Of the
railroads to resume testimony before
August 81.
During the day, Chairman Brainerd
of the commission, issued declaration
of independence from all outside pres
sure in acting on the appeal for higher
rates.
In a letter to Senator >Capper, Re-
publican, Kansas, the chairman said
the commission would not be stampeded
into approving the increase. He added
it would continue as previously Ito
render its decisions based upon the
record as made undisturbed by all the
winds that blow"
Senator Capper had telegraphed
Brainerd of news stories containing a
threat by Representative Beck of Penn
sylvania to urge congressional action if
the commission did not act quickly and
favorably on the railroads application.
The Kansan said the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans threat was even more short
sighted and more inopportune than the
application of the railroads for the in
crease.
