10-CENT FARE PLAN OPPOSED Witnesses at Interurban Hearing Charge Discrimination. That granting of a 10-cent city fare for interurban companies operating in Indianapolis would be a discrimination against citizens who have no service from A>*Andianapolis Street Railway Compnny, ’ivas the statement of Everett H. Schotield and Frank C. Ayres of Norwood, before members of the Public Service Oommis*ion at the completion of the hearing on petitions of traction companies for increased rates. Two interurban companies, the Indianapolis & Cincinnati, and the Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company, have petitioned the commission for increased. rates, and the commission now has the requests under consideration and also the pet'tiou of the local street car company for a 2-cent transfer. A general readjustment of Interurban rates and regulations within cities between strictly local and outside passengers by the commission has been forecast as a result of the fare problems. Samuel Ashby, city corporation counsel, declared It would be unlawful for the commission to raise the fare of Intracity passengers using interurban service ] to a higher level than fares charged by the city company. It was shown that citizens of Norwood are forced to either use the Interurban linea or walk a long distance to reach the nearest city car line. Ashby contended that interurban 1 farpTi should not be increased at least until the city service has been extended I to reach the people of Norwood. Finds Rug Weaving So Fascinating She Establishes a Shop Former Instructor in Schools Installs Looms and Enters Commercial Lines. A "weaver o' dreams" has a fanciful romantic ring, but almost as romantic ’ ■nil decidedly more practical Is the, weaver of rugs. The art of rug weaving, the skilful manipulation of the wooden loom, is well nigh forgotten by the general mass of people, but in one corner of an old business block of the city Is a weaving shop. Four wooden looms stand in the work room and on them clever fingers weave rags into nigs and long strings of silk rags into counter panes and table mats. Miss Anna F. Kelly Is the originator of the Idea of a wearing Bhop. Miss Kelly taught hand weaving in the public schools. She found It so interesting that she began making a serious study of the art of practical weaving, going to Chicago one year to study under E. F. Worst, supervisor of the elementary manual training Hyl construction work in Chicago. W WEAVING rsu. years ago she obtained a smail in a downtown building, installed looms and together with a friend . worked one summer, merely weaving (articles for her own use. which created . such an interest among her frlenda that Miss Kelly conceived the shop plan and now she has four looms and a steady flow of business. A number of women prefer to do their own weaving. They cut and sew their materials and rent the looms from Miss ' Kelly, while many cut their materials, engaging he"F to look after the weaving, bat the greatest number simply buy the completed product from the shop. 0.. • local woman of artistic tastes has just completed a quaU : old fashioned Mue and white counterpane, made in the chariot wheel pattern. Another old sash- , loned piece in the process of being ere- | tied, is a bag w.iveu of silk strips in i rations shades. Soft wool baby blanket* j In delicate blues and pinks and warm •woolly automobile scarfs are favorites of | Mis- Kelly. The looms arc all threaded for the various sizes of articles, one for the rugs, one for the counterpanes, a narrow threaded one for the bags and a medium width for tile motor scarfs and baby blankets. "There is nothing as fascinating as weaving," said Miss Kelly with entbuliiasni. "One can sit down in front of

a bare blank loom and with what appears to tie a bunch of rags without form or purpose, one can create a thing of beauty from out of her imagination. Os course, there are a number of stock patterns that one can make if she does not cars to exert her creative instinct. Anyone who works out anew design may name it and have it installed as a stock pattern. Among the patterns are the •Kings and Chains,' 'Doors and Windows.' ‘Pine Knot,* 'Fox Trail,’ 'Federal Knot' and 'Orange Peel,’ all of which aro decidedly characteristic titles and indicative of the general design plan. However,” and Miss Kelly turned to the loom threaded for rug-weaving, "this is ready for the speediest pattern in rug weaving. the 'hit and miss' design, which isn't a design, though, hut Just what its name Implies That roll of bathroom and bedroom rugs was made on this loom. One can make a small rug In an hours time. The slowest type of work is the counterpane In an Individual pattern, which requires absolute concentration and eagle-eyed watching, taking over a month for com pletion. Os course, all these looms are run by the individual, with a foot treadle. Personally' I don't see how a pattern loom could be run by machinery." Miss Davis is assisted In her work by Miss Sara Duffey, who ia also a weaving enthusiast. It is the only shop of Its kind in the city and Miss Davis says that if business keeps growing at toe same rate of speed that it has grown In the last year that they will Jve to ek more spacious quarters, install inora looms and train a score or more of workmen.

LOOKED LIKE $10; NEGRO IS HELD Walter Jefferson, 47, negro, is held In the Marlon County jail while Capt Thomas E. Hails, chief of the United State secret service in Indiana, tries to find out whether he attempted to pass a one-dollar bill, crudely altered to represent a ten-dollar note, on Mrs. Mary Faber at her grocery at 1441 North Senate avenue. Jefferson before United States Commissioner Charles W. Moores contended that Mrs. Faber gave him the altered bill in change for a twenty-dollar bill he had offered in payment for a small purchase. Mrs. Faber told the commissioner that she gave Jefferson a good ten-dollar bill and that he attempted to get another by substituting the counterfeit for the one she had given him and then claiming he had been cheated. As proof of his innocence, Jefferson offered the statement that he called the police himself and stayed at the grocery until the emergency squad arrived. The police then arrested him on Mrs. Faber's story. Commissioner Moores fixed the negro’s bond at SI,OOO, which he was unnble to provide, and continued the Hearing until 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
