HUGE MASS OF DATA GATHERED IN INSULL CASE ‘Ton of Evidence’ Available for Government as Trial Starts. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Timti Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Trial of Samuel M. Instill and sixteen colleagues at Chicago brings to a climax one of the zno6t elaborately prepared cases in the history of the department of Justice, according to attorneys of the staff of AttorneyGeneral Homer S. Cummings. Fifteen accountants were employed to gather the statistics which form a part of the 2,500 exhibits which the government now has on shelves around the courtroom walls. These accountants are among the seventy-five government witnesses to be called. In addition, a literal "ton of evidence” is contained in the files of the federal trade commission here. Dr. Thomas W. Mitchell, commission economist who Investigated the Insull utilities under senatorial mandate, is in Chicago to testify regarding his findings. Bit by bit he went through the records of that vast mass of interlocking corporations which composed the $2,000,000,000 securities pyramid and made Insull the Pharoah of a utilities empire. Included in the Insull group of utilities and holding companies Investigated by the federal trade commission were: Middle West Utilities Company, Central Illinois Public Service Company, Central and Southwest Utilities Company, Corporation Securities Company, Electric Management and Engineering Corporation, Insull, Son & Cos., Inc.; Insull Utility Investments. Inc., L. E. Myers Company, Midland United Company, Midland United Company System, Midland Utilities Company, Mississippi Valley Utilities Investment Company, National Electric Power Company, National Public Service Corporation, Florida Power Corporation, Georgia Power and Light

RELIEF USERS SEEN DECIDING COMING VOTE

Ballots for Food Is Theme of Political Observer’s Analysis. The hand that reaches out for federal relief will be the hand that casts the deciding ballot in the coming election, Walter Davenport, one of America's most pungent and widely-read political observers, prophesies In an article, "Votes for Victuals,” In the current Issue of Collier’s Weekly, on the news stands today. "An overwhelming majority of the voters are going to cast their ballots for continued and increased federal appropriations,” Mr. Davenport says. "As long as the Roosevelt administration continues to pour money into the federal emergency relief offices and as long as the federal treasury continues to lend money to states for local relief activities, the national Republican committee with its economy blather might do well to save its expense money, along with the vocal chords of Senator Hastings of Delaware and Messrs. Mills and Fletcher, against the day when there will be some other political issue. "The result of this wholly unnatural situation leaves us completely cock-eyed,” he continues. "The jobless, resentful to begin with, are forever being urged by political candidates to demand and expect continued and increased relief. The more you hear and see of the current crop of political aspirants the sooner you are likely to be convinced that one of the most beneficial measures we might take in the interests of recovery would be the suspension of all local elections for a year. “This probably would be howled down as undemocratic or dictatorial or, under some other term, a foul encroachment on our personal liberty. But just take a swing around the country and listen to the *fall

crop of patriots begging for votes. No drought there. And stop in the relief offices and mingle with the social workers, the investigators, the highly cultivated and exceedingly well-nurtured experts in sociology and kindred sciences. "They will tell you that we are becoming a nation of beggars and liars. They won't go quite so far as to characterize all the relief applicants as frauds, but you cap see that their souls are horribly tom. Their sorrow consists in their inability to

"Os course, to receive reUef from both sources you would do better to be on the side of the political machine or power which controls the state or city funds. It is not unlikely that to accuse any of these political almoners of using public moneys to finance their personal campaigns would outrage them to the extent of physical violence; but it is nevertheless true.”
