Open Tonight 6 to 8:30 yi£ftf>?r &abins* snb £rttst <£a bouwwou* CLASHES MARK FARE HEARING Street Car Fee Decision in Hands of Commission. Whether the Indianapolis Street Railway Company will be forced to operate on their present fares or whether they will be permitted to levy a charge of 2 •enta for each transfer In the future, rests today with the Public Service Comnlsslon, following the completion late Friday of the company’s petition for ilgher revenues. Hearing was begun toiay on the petitions of the Indianapolis .% Cincinnati Traction Company for a iO-cent fare between any two points in 'ndianapolis, and of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company for authority to charge a straight ; cents a mile fare In the city limits. The closing session of the hearing in the Indianapolis company’s petition vas marked by numerous clashes between City Corporation Counsel Samuel \ahby and Chares L. Henry, attorney tor the interurbans; as well as charges made by Arthur W. Brady, president ot the Union Traction Company of Indiana, that lnteruroans have been charged excessively for the use of the city company’s power, tracks and termiinal facilities. Mr. Brady declared internrbaa companies made an overpayment of more than $57,000 In 1919 to the Indianapolis company for the service rendered them. An effort was made by Mr. Ashby to ! have the hearing continued until Mon- j day in order to conduct further tests on power used by city and lnterurban pars. Mr. Ashby declared that while th<* interurban companies are receiving more than seven times the revenue formerly received by passengers, they still are paying the same rate to the Indianapolis company for the service provided. He stated that evidence enough had i been presented to show that 3 cents a j mile was more than the interurbans werS ■ entitled. “On tbeir entire system, these com- j panles may not be making money," said Sir. Ashby, “but if all their business was operated on the basis of their contracts ' with the local company they certainly would." L. M. Brown, superintendent of the Interstate Public Service Company, testified that his company was receiving the : same service in Louisville as Is provided j by the local company, but added that; they were paying less than 1 cent a passenger there and that there was no relation between the two companies. He admitted the Louisville city company Is now trying to obtain a 7-eent fare. 14-Year-Old Maid Amazes Stockmen by Taking Prizes Youthful Stock Farm Oicner Says Girls Make Just as Good Raisers. CHICAGO, r>e<\ 4—Girls make just as pood stock-raisers as men, according to Josephine Garden, 14-year-old graman r school student of Wappello, lowa, who' amazed experienced stock breeders at the International Stock Show here when her entries carried off prizes In two events. Josephine, owner of a stock farm with nine head on it, has been caring for stock for three, years and believes it Is ! a business for any healthy young woman, j In the three years she has been running her farm. Miss Garden has won many prizes, one of them being the prard championship for Shorthorn steers at the lowa State fair in 1918. Prizes won at the show here were second ] r.wnrds in the heifer calf and jpuior bull calf classes. "It's hard work, but a lot of fun," the girl said. ’’l take care of my stock before and after school hours. It means getting up early In the morning, but that's easy after you get used to it." Miss Garden's stock consists of dve cows, two ponies, one lamb and a pig. Josephine said she prepared all her own entries for stock shows. No man Is permitted the Job of “dolling up’ l;er "pets.” "I manicure, them myself.’’ she said. The work of manicuring, she said, consists of going over the entries with comb and brush and finishing it up with a regular manicure for the hoofs. Using a sharp knife, Miss Garden said she cuts away the dirt, washes the hoofs In soap and water and then gives a bright luster to them by a good rubbing with nail polish.

TREE SURGERY TAKING FIRST ROW IN STATE Many Examples of Saving Nature’s Own Pointed to in City. DECAY ALSO PREVENTED Some fine examples of tree surgery may 1 be seen in Indianapolis, according to a | bulletin Issued by George 11. Morgan, 1 head of the special service of the city i park department. One especially good piece of such work is to be noticed in front of the Bobbs Merrill Publishing Company’s plant in East Vermont street, he states. The bulletin is as follows: Injuries of various sorts are so common on trees that most people are Ignorant of the consequence of neglected wounds, or at least they underestimate the danger. Every wouDd. regardless of its size that penetrates the inner bark, if left unprotected may be the cause of the death of ft fine and healthy specimen. The best aud most economic plan to prevent future decay and injury is to treat these wounds as they appear, especially if the tree is a valued one. In tree surgery there are a few fundamental principles that should be observed to secure permanently good results. Remove all dead, decayed or diseased and Injured wood. Sterilize and waterproof all cut surfaces. Leave the work In the most favorable condition for rapid healing, this often means the filling or covering of deep cavleties. TAKE CARE OF DEFECTS YEARLY. Watch the work from year to year and if any defects should appear they should be tended to immediately. In Instances where neglect has been the cause of considerable decay it may become necessary for some cavity filling to be done —In such case only as experienced man thoroughly versed In all lines of the work should be employed. In cavity filling the value of the tree should be carefully considered, If the specimen Is a rapid growing short lived one It Is hardly worth the time and money spent In an endeavor to save it—trot rather taken out completely and replaced with an approved variety. In any event, a diseased or insect infested tree should not be allowed to remain as a menace to nearby trees which are in a more healthy condition. In cavity filling proper the primary steps are to remove all the decayed or diseased wood, cutting back to the live, vigorous tissue. The exposed surfaces should then be sterilized, creosote being usually recommended for this purpose; care should b exercised so ns to not touch the cambium or growing layer with this solution, as It is of such sensitive nctnre that injury would result. WOUND SHOULD BE WATERPROOFED. After a thorough sterilization the wound should be waterproofed by being given an application of nspbJltum. In making the cavity- cane should be exercised so as to not make It any larger than necessary. For the filling proper cement one part, sand three or less parts is generally used. A good example of extensive tree surgery work in Indianapolis may be seen In front of the Robbs Merrill Publishing Company, on East Vermont street. At this place extensive cavity filling has been resorted to and shows wfcat may be accomplished In the way of saving trees. | Those citizens who are desirous of receiving Information relatlte to this or any other forestry problem are urged to • ■onsiiit the special service, department of public parks.

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP By REALTOR “AL” EVANS After two weeks’ negotiations with “Colonel" Appendicitis and further consultation with the enemy being useless, “Al” once more gets back to his weekly Job of finding fault with the realtors. Today is the day that Frank Cantwell opens anew chapter of his life history. . Me thinks the automobile is still a rich man’s toy, as MacLeod says. The Indianapolis Ronl Estate Board has a representation of nine on the city planning committee. These nine men are known as Roosters for a better and bigger Indianapolis. One side of the cigar that Jim Cruse smoked Wednesday at the luncheon must have been lead, as only one side burned. Charlie Cross saved Jim from having an accident with said rope. Friend Jim examined It as if It were a curio. Our office boy Colonel "Bull" Durham sure did Temp's wedding up In great style. Temp is all smiles In the picture, and we hope that he will always look that way. And say—he will get more work done now—he won't have to go to Chicago so often; and I have already noticed that he has stopped his day dreaming. Realizes I guess that day dreaming won’t buy bread. Another smoker, combined with a business meeting, Is set for next Thursday night. If as many realtors turn out for this event as did for the last smoker It will be some business meeting. We have' just as good supporters ot the license law as we have opposers. Nothing can be expected to be perfect at the beginning, but the law will be a start, and if you never get a start what does the fututre offer for you? Nothing better than you have now, so let’s get a start. Bill Bridges has discovered that when he takes plenty of time and studies an ad he Is writing that he gets far better results than If he Just wrote It out without much thought. This Is a good tip to most every realtor. Treat your self just and give the medium In which you advertise every possible opportunity to return full value to you.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1920.

FRICTION SEEN IN NEW CABINET ANNOUNCEMENT Plan to Give Hays Senate Job Not on Cards of the Old Guard. M’CRAY REAL OBSTACLE Indiana politicians attach great significance to the recent declaration of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge against the appointment of Senator Harry S. New to a place In President-elect Harding's Cabinet. Senator Lodge's statement that Senator New’s absence from the Senate would be a “loss to his party” is considered by many political observers as having been inspired by n force of circumstances. In other words, the Republican strategists who had cooked up tho plan to have Senator New given a Cabinet portfolio and to have his place awarded to National Chairman Will H. Hays, have utterly failed, and Senator Lodge, leader of the Senate, was selected to make the announcement. The trading proposition was hatched up at West Baden a few days after the election and, although Hays and New have remained silent on the matter, It Is known they have been kept well acquainted with the details. VIEW BEHIND SCENES. Behind the scenes walks a little bit of national political friction that now and then breaks out. It is an open secret that Harding’s close confidants have little use for Hays because of his preconvention maneuvers in an effort to obtain the Republican nomination for himself, but at the same time they give him due credit for the energetic campaign he Initiated in behalf of Harding after his selection. Most of Harding's political advisers have no objection to seeing Hays hold down a Cabinet Job, because they believe he will be sufficiently occupied with departmental duties to refrain from playing politics. In fact, they hoped to bury the chairman In official Washington. On the other hand New Is a trusted member of the so-called senatorial oligarchy and It Is generally conceded that Lodge voiced a true lament when he said that his loss would be keenly felt. The Senators who brought about Harding's election and who will be his most trusted advisers after his Inauguration desire to keep their circle intact, for much depends on the absolute control of the Senate. MeCBAY STANDS IN WAY. But while It is believed some of the Republican lenders were sincere In desiring to bring about the trade, the real obstacle was struck In Governor-elect Warren T. McCray. When the details of the proposed trans fer were still In the embryo, Mr. McCray promised Arthur Robinson, vvh • sought the senatorial nomination against both New nr.d Watson four years ago, that he could hare New's seat If the latter resigned. McCray has notified th leaders that he will stand by that promise. The senatorial oligarchy has no desire to have a newcomer among Its ranks and when it learned that McCray would stand unshaken all hope* of consummating the deal were abandoned, political observers here believe. HOI Til SIDE . o. IV TO MEET. The Republican Club of the south side will hold a meeting at the home of Mrs. E. E. Kuhns, 557 Buchanan street, at b o’clock Monday evening.
