COUNCIL PUTS BARRIER UP IN PHONE MERGER Refusal to Ratify Contract for Purchase Indefinitely Ties Up Consolidation. JEWETT THRONE ROCKS The proposed telephone merger In Indianapolis today either Is dead or will be delayed many months. The action of the city council last night in refusing to ratify the contract for the purchase of the Indianapolis Telephone Company by the Central Union Telephone Company means that the merger must await a decision of the supreme court of Indiana, a dismissal of the suit now pending or a reversal of action by the council. The merger ordinance was defeated along with other measures favored by the Jewett administration by the five “Independents” in the city council. COURT CLEARS WAY TO MERGER. Judge Ewbank in circuit court held that the consent of the city council was not necessary to effect the merger, and the city of Indianapolis and the Central Union Company appealed from this decision, which also directed that the purchase contract be carried out. Among other things the council did to show that its antagonism toward the administration is not a thing of the past, despite- Mayor Jewett’s repeated endeavors to patch up his differences with It, was to elect Gustav G. Schmidt, councilman from the third district, president and Dr. Otto B. Pettljohn councilman from the fourth district, vice president. Both of these men were elected by the home rulers. JEWETT LOYALIST GETS TWO VOTES. Councilman Russell Willson, republican and leader of the quartet of members who have stuck with the mayor through all the defeats the Insurgents have administered to him In the past two years, was nominated 'as the loyal candidate for president and got two votes. Mr. Schmidt received four. Neither of the candidates voted. The merger ordinance was brought out of committee with a minority report favoring its passage and a majority report opposing. The minority report was signed by Councilman Russell Willson. The majority report was made by Councilmen Kirscb, Schmidt and Carneflx. When the report was read and the majority report adopted by a fire to three vote, with the insurgents standing together, as usual, twenty-five prominent citizens, who were interested In the merger, got up and marched out of the council “hamber. The council went on with other business. C ARNE FIX LEADS WITH LOUD "NO.” Later the merger ordinance came up for second and third reading. By that time the lute re-ted citizens had filed bark In and taken their seats. The voting began. Councilman Louis Carneflx voted “no” without comment. Dr. Sumner A. Furnlss, administration

member, voted “aye,” asserting that he believed there is a demand for the unification of the telephone systems. Jesse E. Miller, another loyal republican, voted “aye.” Councilman Willson read a prepared speech In whicn he pointed out economic reasons why the merger should be effected and voted “aye ” The aye votes ended right there, foi Councilmen Lee J. Kirsch, Pettljohn, William B. Peake and President Schmidt voted “no.” President Peake was the only one of the insurgents to explain his vote. He declared that he did not believe In throttling competition and quoted Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer as having recently declared that the only way to lower the cost of living is to Increase both competition and production. “To ratify this merger would be to throw the city Into the hands of an octous. I don’t feel like shouldering the responsibility of approving It,” he concluded. The final vote was five against and three for. The citizens left In a body. GARBAGE MAN GETS INCREASE. Among the other administration measures which were voted down were ordinances Increasing the salary of A. M. Buchanan,' superintendent of garbage collection, from SI,BOO to $2,500, and of Thomas Walters, superintendent of street cleaning, from $2,500 to $3,000. and authorizing the hiring of an additional clerk at S9OO per year for the city purchasing department.
