There will be two meetings of the Indianapolis Chapter of the American Association of Engineers next week, at the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce building, one Wednesday noon and the other Thursday evening. The following report, by a special committee. on the matter of street railway rerouting, has been adopted by the chapter: “On the matter of street railway rerouting. your special committee on that subject I>eg leave to report: “That as the result of the chapter discussions and the committee's study of the matter, they are strongly of the opinion that disjointed and haphazard attempts to improve matters for either the public or the company, such as the pending city ordinance for a general loop, are wrong in their inception and would prove harmful In their application; that the move by the Chamber of Commerce for a thorough expert study of the whole subject applicable to a long term of years should be encouraged and supported." The opinion expressed in the report was further that the entire subject should be considered as one of the major parts of the duties of the city planning commission : should be interwoven with the other feature® -thereof and any action should await, a—detailed .report by that commission; - treating'the-subject in all its phases and not Its mere relation to values of central real estate; that It probably would be fair for the city and the company to share the cost of employing an expert engineer to consult with the commission and report to them. “The committeemen are confident,” continued the report “that the street railway routes as at present established are in many respects susceptible of vast improvement with probable savings In operating cost, whereby the continuance of the 5-cent fare may be iMUfed: that the annoyances and inconveniences of t fare including odd cents should be avoided If possible to do so, besides the added tax upon the company's patrons. It Is self-evident that any public utility must earn enough to pay lta operating expenses and legitimate fixed charges; the company at the present time Is barely doing this, if at all, and the great addition to operating expense entailed by adding many miles of car travel without any proportionate Increase In revenue, as would be occasioned by the enforcement of the proposed loop ordinance, would drive the company Into early bankruptcy, to the great detriment of the public service and general Injury to the community.”

Anti-Rent Law Fund Is Being Raised by Chicago Landlords Efforts of Janitors to Obtain More Wages Also to Be Opposed. CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Attempts which may be made to enact more stringent rent laws or increase taxation on' apartment house properties will be fought with a f200,000 fund which is being raised by the landlords of Chicago.

There is no doubt as to the time Ranbatz left his rooming house, the home of Sam Shampalgn, 12-id Union street. That has been determined at 8:30 o'clock Thursday morning, presumably to meet an Italian from whom he was to purchase some clothing. Why Ranbatz should have gone to the woods as far from a street car line Is another element of mystery In the case. The police have not found any person who saw Ranbatz near the river previous to the time that his body was found. Kills Man, Loads Gun, Walks Away, Gives Up Special to The Time*.

JUDGE BREAKS IN ON ARGUMENT OF COAL ATTORNEY (Continued From Page One.) provisions of the act and that their licenses to engage In the business of mining and selling coal in the State and that their properties will be seized under | State court receiverships and operated by I receivers appointed by the State courts,” and thac Eschbach has “repeatedly • threatened the plaintiffs and others engaged in mining coal in Indiana that martial law will be declared and the State militia will be sent to seize the plaintiffs’ mines.” Mr. Marttudnle contended that such “public threats” of Eschbach endeavor !to “terrorize the plaintiffs and others 1 engaged In the business of mining coal in Indiana, to surrender their property, property rights and liberty to the Special : Coal and Food Commission of ludlana,” i and claimed that unlese the court issues | an Injunction, the coal commisalon will i proceed to execute the “threats” of Esch- ! bach and agents of the commission. OTHER POINTS IN ATTORNEY’S STATEMENT. Mr. Martlndale argued that such actions | and threats "will interrupt and destroy | the business of the plaintiffs.” Other points advanced in the argument I of Mr. Martlndale, were ns follows: | That the act of the legislature In quesj tlon Is Invalid because it permits of arbitrary and unreasonable Interference with the rights of the plaintiffs to freely engage In the business of mining coal. That the $25 license fee required of the coal companies mining coal In Indiana Is In excess of the cost of Issuing the license. That section 7 of the act Is Invalid because It requires the plaintiffs to pay n license fee beyond the period fixed for the expiration of the commission That It prevents the eoal companies f *-oin the liberty and freedom to eonj tract for the snle of their property. | That It compels the coal companies to I furnish a sufficient quantity of coal to j supply domestic demand regardless of 1 existing contracts held by the coal com- : panles. That no provisions are made to control ' payment for the coal by those to whom the commission orders coal to be j shipped. That no mine owner could afford to disobey any order of the coal commission or Invoke the Jurisdiction of any court to test the validity cf the law, exI cept at the risk of confiscation of Its I property and Imprisonment for long terms at the State Penal Farm. That the orders of the coal commission lmpnlred the obligations onw existing between the plaintiff coal companies and the ( Ogle Coal Company and the Pennsylvania j Railroad Company.

MANY OTHER REASONS ALSO PI T FORWARD. i Many other reasons were advanced by j Mr. Martlndale for the necessity of the i granting of the Injunction by the court. I Mr. Martlndale contended that the I Vigo Coal Company, on April 1, 1920. j entered Into a contract with the Ogle l Coal Products Company to tell Its com- | jdete output of coal from certain of Its j mines to the Ogle Company and that the | Ogle Coal Company entered into a con- | tract with the Pennsylvania railroad to : furnish the coal so obtained to the rall- | road. In turn the railroad was to give Ia full car supply to the mines. Mr. Martlndale claims that this it allowed by the Interstate Coal Commission If the mines give the eutlre output for railroads used In Interstate commerce. DISCUSSES VARIOUS ORDERS OF BOARD. Mr. Martlndale devoted some time to discussing an order of the commission requiring the Vandalla Coal Company to ship a certain amount of coal to the Indianapolis Coal Company. This order wag Issued Nov. 1 and counsel maintained that the company had no coal available for the purpose of complying with the order and could not comply with the order except by violating valid contracts existing between the company, the Ogle Coal Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He pointed out that the Vandalla Coal Company had no contracts with the Indiana Coal Company. Mr. Martlndale showed that on Nov. 4, 1920, the commission ordered the Vigo Coal Products Company to ship n specific amount of coal to the Brewer Milling Company at Gosport. Mr. Martlndale contended that the Vigo Coal Products Company In order to avoid the penalties of the statutes, notified the coal commia 1 slon that it would ship cosl as ordered upon the receipt of a certified check from the persons designated as consignee for such shipments. Counsel declared that on Nov. (5 the plaintiffs were ordered to appear before the coal commission to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. The hearing was continued and Mr. Martlndale contended that the coal commission unless enjoined and restrained will revoke the licenses of the Vigo Coal Products Company, which was tssnod for the purpose of permitting tho company to ; mine coal. Counsel contended that the mines of the company would be ruined by being | forced Into ldlenesa and it would cost sir>o,ooo to put the mines back Into work able condition. Mr. MartlmlHle reviewed at length the organizing of the Vandalla Cunl Com- ! pany, the amount of money spent In obtaining vast coal holdings and various steps taken by the company In protecting its interests. SPECIFIC ACTION ASKED OF COURT. The plnintiff coni companies are asking that the sjieclal coni nnd food commission of Indiana be restrained and enjoined from doing the following nets: FVom demanding, receiving ot collecting from the plaintiffs any further Instalments of the special tax of 1 cent on coal mined In the State. From making arid from Inforcing againat the plaintiffs any order regulating nnd fixing the price at which coal mined by the plaintiffs should be sold. From ordering, requiring or direct- ! ing the plaintiffs to furnish, sell and j deliver coal In specific shipments to persons, firms or corporations to be designated by the commission. From making any order or Inforcing any order seeking to require the plaintiffs to produce and sell, or offer for sale In this State, n sufficient quantity of coal to supply domestic needs. SUTHERLAND TAKES U 1-TIIE ARGUMENT. Wheu Mr. Martlndale had completed his argument and reviewing the hill of complaint of his clients, George Sutherland, former United States Senator from Utah, began making the closing argument in behalf of the coal companies. Mr. Sutherland stated that he would confine his arguments to the discussion of four points, ns follows: The power of the Legislature to fix prices; the power of the Legislature t 6 compel owners of coal mines to produce and ship specific amounts of coal to certain people; that the action of the Legislature luterfers with the Interstate Commerce Commission; that the act Is Illegal because It denies the coal companies the means to assert their rights j or even seek to determine their rights i in the courts, SUFFICIENT COAL, SUTHERLAND SAYS. Mr. Sutherland declared there was sufficient coni In the Stnte to supply every demand and the operators were more than willing to produce the coal, but they were limited by conditions which are the result of miners' and switchmen's strike and lack of transportations, all conditions with which the producers had nothing to do. “Coal is real estate before It is mined, but when severed from the ground It becomes private or personal property, and the producer may sell the commodity

land, comparing It to wheat, steel and others. In discussing the power of the Legislature to pass laws governing the case Mr. Sutherland declared the assembly may pass “negative” laws which would restrain persons or Individuals from using property or conducting service in such a manner as to cause damage to others, but “positive” laws which would order property to be used in a certain way could not constitutionally be enacted. Mr. Sutherland referred to Judge Baker’s decision In the usury case, and pointed out that money was a "representative of property and could not be classed as property in Itself.” He distinguished between selling and loaning. "If the usury law Is to be used as a precedence for fixing the price of coal, then the Legislature has the tight to govern the price of wheat, steel, clothing and other commodities,” Mr. Sutherland said, as he quoted authorities ,as saying that price fixing In mercantile business Is void. “The Legislature Is not warranted to pass laws which govern the sale of property unless the use, property or service is clothed with public interest,” aaid the counsel. "That the public is affected Is true, but the same fact arises In other businesses; there Is a distinction between ‘public Interest' and 'public welfare.’ ‘Public Interest' carries with It something of a proprietory sense. When a person dr votes Ills business to the public, he grants a species of proprietory Interest In the business to the public. In this business the puhlle does net have an Interest. The public merely feels an Interest.” K . It** ID iK.il DECISION COURT. Mr. Sutherland referred to the United States Supreme Court decision In the German Alliance Insurance Company case. An Insurance company, according to Mr. Sutherland s Interpretation of the d* clslon, has a broad and definite public interest. “The theory of this case Is born* out by the character of the business,” te said. “While insurance companies, for Instance, acting ns mere machinery or a species of truKtee, handle the money, pay premiums and conduct other affairs of the business, the people are really the owners of such u concern. The payment of a policy Is not an Isolated transaction, but is linked with others, so that the entire organization of policies is Interdependent. “The sale of coal Is entirely different. The sale of 100 tons to a buyer 1* a single transaction and terminates with the transaction itself. Each Instance stands alone. “If three persons take out Insurance policies, there Is an Inter relation, but when coal company enters Into contracts to supply coal to three buyers, there are three transactions, each complete In Itself. “Insurance forms a basis of credit, on which an Individual may borrow money, but the same Is not true In the Instance of coal. The tests which are laid down by the Supremo Court and other authorities ure not applicable In this case. “Many laws govern the operating of a coal mine, but the reason for the law. Is not confined to the element of public Interest. Labor laws are passed ns beajih t measures, coal weighing regula tloiis are to prevent fraud.” Mr, Sutherland’s argument was continued to tho afternoon session, which began at 1:3) o'clock. Immediately before the opening of the hearing James W. Noel, attorney for the commission, filed a motion to dismiss the case.
