HOLDS OUTSIDE PERSONS HAVE RIGHT TO BOOKS Johnson Dissents From Majority View on Examination of Utility Concerns. PRESENTS HIS VIEWS

The public service commission has the right to authorize outside persons to examine the books of utility concerns which have cases before the commissioner, Commissioner Fred Bates Johnson declared in a dissenting opinion in the case of the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company, which is petitioning for an increase. The majority of the commission expressed the opposite opinion ! n a ruling handed down several days ago. The dissenting opinion in part follows: The majority opinion states: “The question presented by petition is whether onot the commission has the power to authorize an agent to examine the books and property of petitioner, j when such agent is not of the commission's staff." Having thus stated the question, the majority opinion fails to answer it squarely. The syllabus seems to indicate that the commission does not have the power to appoint an independent agent, paid by respondent, to act as the commission’s agent to examine petitioner’s books. Other phrases and sentences in the body of the order indicate the belief that the commission has that power but should not exercise it in this causfc. I do not believe that the real question Is the one stated in the majority opinion. This particular question was not controverted at the argument. Both respondent and petitioner agree as to this question. They both answered “yes.” Both agree as to the law. Under the theory of both parties, the commission has the power to authorize an agent, on its behalf, to examine the books and records of petitioner. The real question is whether or not the commission, having the power, should, rnder that power, authorize an agent, other than a member of the accounting department of the commission, to examine the boohs of the petitioner in the The commission has the power. Should it exercise that power! I believe the commission should exercise that power. It is true that the reg- | ular audit prepared by the accounting department is available to both parties. In the light of its knowledge of its own books and records petitioner, however, bae a certain advantage. It is able to cross-examine as to this audit, and present evidences modifying or amplifving the showing of the audit. Respondents should have the same opportunity to examine and present evidence modifying or amplifying the commission's andit. It has that naked right to cross-examine, of course. Such a naked righk is without value, however, if respondent has not original sources of in- ; formation upon which to base its cross- j examination and analysis of the audit. Respondent has asked that it be permit- ! ted to get at the original sources of in- ; formation in the manner prayed for in the petition. Denying this prayer means, in effect, that .the public, whether it be the city, power users or domestic consumers. will necessarily proceed into a rate case crippled by insufficient information upon which to base its contentions and in that crippled condition face a healthy opponent that proceeds and presents -its case, having available tb*- compietest of data. The public should not be compelled to suffer this handicap. The prayer of the petition, at least so far as it asks this j commission to authorize an agent, other than a member oif its accounting department, to make an examination, should be ! granted. To do otherwise will not only compel the respondent to proceed sturnblingl.v in the dark, hnt will subject the petitioner to the suspicion that it has something to conceal. The agent thus to be appointed should not be permitted to go on “a fishing expedition'’ through all of the books and minutes of the petitioner. He should haTe access only to such records as bear on the points at issue. *■ HARDING TALKS OF ‘APPROXIMATE’ DISARMING PLAN (Continued From Page One.) to ascertain the views of other Senators and Congressmen as to what shoal 1 l-e done to meet the grave domestic problems confronting the country. “Tonight's conference was only a beginning,’’ the President said, "a beginning in the touching of elbows between the executive and legislative branches of our Government in a determined effort to solve the many problems we face. “Tonight’s discussion was pleasing and interesting," he continued. “It will lead, I am sure, to good results. It was not determined whether there should be an emergency tariff at the outset of the new Congress or whether the question of revenue revision should be first taken up. There was a divergence of opinion as to that “Without committing ourselves to details, we started upon the formulation of a legislative program by which we hope there will be much progress made' when the new Congress is served and will lead to the fullest cooperation between the executive and Congress. "It is too early now to anticipate what the first steps will be when Congress meets. We only discussed domestic problems tonight. Foreign questions were, by common asseiU, left to future discussion. There will be other discussions. It will be my purpose to keep in close touch with Congress and its members as well is its leaders. We made a good start tonight.” <* “Was there any proposal for one bill combining tariff and tax revision discussed ?” the President was asked. " “There was not,” he replied. “We discussed both the tariff and taxation and the form the revision of each would probably take. That was all. Without going Into details we mapped out a program we expect to see take definite and final form satisfactorily. There is much to be done, but we believe it will all be accomplished successfully. “We believe the conference was an important step toward the fulfillment of that type of government cooperation between the executive and legislative branches which we regard as most likely to render good service to the country. We have but begun, hopeful that all will end well.” PETROGRAD IN HANDS OF NEW REBEL FORCES (Continued From Page One.) opened fire on the reds, putting them to flight. REPORT ODESSA IN HANDS OF INSURGENTS LONDON, March B.—“lt is reported in Helsingfors that antl-Boishevlst insurgents and striking workmen have seized Odessa,” said a Central News dispatch -from Helsingfors this afternoon. The Moscow government was reported to be sending troops to retake the city. GAIN OF SOVIET TROOPS REPORTED v | PARIS, March B.—Official dispatches received here during the afternoon confirmed the report that the Russian antiBolshevist rebels have been repulsed by the soviet troops at both Petrograd and Moscow. i

MAN W HO TOOK COPS’ CAR HELD Charles Duffy, Who Fled in 1917, in Dayton Jail. CHARLES DUFFY. Reports from Dayton, Ohio, to Inspector of Detectives Fletcher of the Indianapolis police department say that Charles Duffy, S*>, who escaped from Detective Harry Irit-k of this city while seeking alleged automobi’e thieves in Muncie in 1917, is under arrest and serving a short sentence in that city. Inspector Fletcher said action would be taken to return Duffy to this city. About four years ago local polios had arrested several members of what was believed to be the most powerful gang of automobile thieves that ever operated j in the central West. The headquarters of the gang was j said to have been In Muncie ami Marion i where some of the members were said to j be powerful in politics. Numerous car thefts wore charged against the gang in Indianapolis. Duff.v, J who had been by Detectives < Rugenstein and McMurtry, offered to j show where the stolen cars had been sold. Aceomraniod by Detective Irick, he was taken to Muncie in an Indianapolis police automobile. He showed where nine stolen automobiles were located. Then he told the officer that if he could drive to a certain place he believed be could locate another. The detective was forced to trust Duffy. He was not seen again and until bis arrest in Dayton nothing was heard from him except that the Indianapolis police car had been sold j in Texas. CLEAN PRIMARYRESTS CHIEFLY WITH THREE MEN (Continnei From Page One.) particular faction and whose sole purpose In taking the position would be to guarantee a clean primary. Among Dem- j ocratic possibilities are Woodburn Mas- 1 son, attorney, who was Democratic elec- t tion commissioner in the recent general ' election; William T. Brown and Clyde Baker. Mr. Hutsell has a reputation for being fair and square, one of the things 1 he promised upon election having been [ that he would give no cause for stories of unfair handling of returns which were circulated about his predecessor in the last city election. It is regarded bv those who desire a clean primary as the duty of the Democratic city chairman to appoint a commissioner who will cooperate with Mr. Hutsell tn keeping | things straight, now that the Republican j chairman has made bis choice known. HUTSELL DECLARES | FOR SQUARE DEAL. While Mr. Lemaux was naming a man considered as a strict adherent to the Jewett faction it wag being reported that i the mayor and his right-hand man, Robert H. Bryson, city controller, were beginning to bring pressure to bear on city employes who are not “delivering” for “Professor” Howe. In such affairs the mayor is understood to issue the orders and Mr. Bryson to carry them out. It was said that James Mann, chief inspector in the city civil'engineering department, has been called on the carpet and told that be will have to make a better shewing for the administration candidate for mayor than he has so far or lose his job. Mr. Mann is Republican chairman of the Fifth ward. While Mr. Howe was ; being taken on a tour of the various j wards to meet the “organization” workI ers last week a meeting of the precinct j committeemen and others of the Fifth ward was called at Mr. Mann's residence. It is said that exactly seven people re- , sponded, not one of whom was a com- ■ mltteeman. The backers of Ed J. Robl- | son, one of Mr. Howe’s rivals, claim that | the reason Mr. Mann could get no more | to respond to his Invitation is that Mr. ; Robison has captured the ward oiganiza- ! tion. ' The Robison people claimed to be much encouraged by a meeting they said was held Sunday afternoon at the residence of Beverly Howard, negro politician, who sometimes has operated a notorious gambling house. It was claimed | that seventy-five negroes gathered at | the house at 1436 Martindale avenue, de- ] spite the rain, and gave evidence that Mr. Robison, who was present, is their favorite. Declaration of candidacy for nominations have been filed with the city clerk by John De Marco and T. Ernest Maholm, for city Judge on the Republican ticket; John W. Rhodehamel, for city clerk on the Republican ticket; WII- - lfam C. Russow, 537 West Thirtieth j street. Republican, for councilman of j the Fourth district; Frank Borns, 817 Highland avenue, Republican, for cun- . oilman of the First district, and Otto J Ray, 1045 Harlan street, Democrat, for ■ councilman of the Sixth district. Mr. Robinson addressed a meeting for voters of the First precinct of the Fifth ward, at West and Pratt streets, last night. W. J. I. Reed. W. H. Jackson and Peter Trone were other speakers. Two Held on Charges of Operating Tigers Regal Murphy. 25, 152 Blackford street, was arrested today by Lieutenant Hous- , ton on a charge of operating a blind tiger when the police caught him running out of the rear door of 147 Bright street. In his pocket, the police charge, he had a bottle of “white mule” whisky. In a shed the jiolice say they found a gallon Jug part full of the same liquor, some bottles partly filled and some empty bottles. Pete Lazorojf, 38, 1009 West Pearl street, was arrested by Sergeant Tooley on a tiger charge. The police say they found a fifteen-gallon still hidden under the floor of Lazoroff s home.

ARNOLD GIVES HIS VIEWS ON BOOK AWARDS Says Contract of State Board of Education Discreditable. REVIEWS COST FIGURES Note' —Senator Arnold Is a member of the Senate Committee on Rights and Privileges, which investigated the letting of textbook contracts by the State board of education. He signed a minority report criticising the board for its -action, but because of the tabling of all reports onSnotion of Senator Oscar Ratts, Republican floor leader, he was not permitted W express his views on the subject. By SENATOR WILLIAM A. ARNOLD. The contract let by the Indiana State board of education Feb. 1, 1921, Is altogether discreditable for the reason that this body of supposedly wise men were at no time in possession of any facts In reference to the cost of manufacturing books. There was no discussion by the board at any time relative to the present financial and Industrial conditions in Indiana, the number of unemployed, or the falling price of farm products. A broad visioned body of men must know that general commodity prices are declining. Print paper prices are lower. Cloth is lower. Manufacturing conditions have so Improved that It was possible Feb. 1 to get a lower price than was offered in December. 1920, at which time prices l wero submitted. The trend of prices wns downward and is downward. Is it fair to the citizens of Indiana to base present cost of manufacturing school books on an average of the exceptionally high coats which have prevailed during the past five years? It Is reasonably clear from i evidence submitted and sworn statements filed that the total cost of all these books will exceed S2J<uO,OOO. DIFFERENCE IN CO’.T SHOWN. The total Increase In cost to pupils for the first yfiar alone on the new adoption will be: Geographies, $209,695.60; language and grammar, $116,432.47; spelling books, S103.0S0; histories, $106,943.89; physiologies, $122,750; total, $675,901.96. The difference In the cost of manufacturing books between'the time the bids were submitted and the present time is, on the average, 10 cents apiece at least. There will be sold in the five subjects during the period at least 2,325.220 books, perhaps more. A decline of 10 cents in the price of each book would make a saving of $232,522. Thus the total saving to the children if the contracts had nut been let would be $575,901.96, plus $232,522, a total of $1*08,423.96, the first year, with four more years to buy. Do you think that the State Board of Education has any defense for their action on this occasion, in adopting new books, thereby devastating the more and already oppressed people with the unnecessary and uncalled for greater burden of taxation? I do not, and I do not believe the people of the State will approve the board's action on this occasion. It has been said that the contract makes it mandatory on the part of L. N. Hines, State Superintendent of I’ublic Instruction, to sign the contract. I deny I the allegation. I do not believe there is | a court or a jury to be had in the Slate i of Indiana that would mandate Swpeiln- I tendeut Hines to sign that contract and j uphold this withering waste of no.-o than $90,000 of tue taxpayers’ hard eurr...->t money. This amount is for the first year of the contract with four,more years to go. What the final cost to the people will be can not be estlaia •:<!, but .t .will bo an astonishing amount. ASKS JISTICfJ FOR CHILDREN. I do not believe there is a citizen in the State of Indiana whose heart is not one of breathing service, sympathy and justice for our children. If Justice by them can be had only by a lawsuit, let's start the suit and find out if the State board of education esn impose this staggering burden upon the children and citizens. AH good aud constitutional law is founded on hard, common sense, and do you think the letting of this contract at ; this time and at this price was a wise; i Judicious, discreet and lawful thing to do? i In the face of the facts we will be able i to produce when the matter comes up for j hearing we are Inclined to think not. Again, our Governor, who has ulready I proved himself to be an able and gensiI ble man, must apprpve this contract. Will I he do so? I do ot believe he will per- ! mit the State board of education to pluck . the very heart and soul of Justice out of an unresisting citizenship. It Is per fectly proper to be pleasing to the master mind of the board of education and I a handful of politicians, but Governor, the eyes of three millions of your people are on you, looking for relief from this unnecessary burden. Will you give them this relief? DUSSELDORF IS FIRST OCCUPIED BY FRENCH ARMY (Continued From Page One.) according to information Just received here from Cologne. The French supplied most of the troops that advanced from the Rhine. Two complete French division took part In the movement. The British force consisted only of a battalion. WASHINGTON, March B.—The United States has received no official notification from the allies of the action taken in occupying German territory, it was announced at the State Department. Thus far this government has had to depend on press dispatches and reports from diplomatic officers as to the allied purpose in the occupation of German territory. PARENT-TEACHERS club meeting.

Rucker’s Plea for Emerich Falls Short Man Who Kept Girl in Shop Sentenced to Term in Prison. Holding that his "conscience” tells him that he is right, Special Judge James Berryhill retimed to heed the plea of j Former Prosecutor Alvah J. Rucker that Ia small penal farm sentence be given | John Emerich, 58, a blacksmith of Em- ; ricbsville, indicted on a charge of attempting to criminally assault a girl scarcely over 16 years of age. Because Judge BerfyhiU did not weaken undpr the efforts of Mr. Rucker, Emerich was sentenced to from two to fourteen years in prison and a fine of $1 and costs. In bargaining for a small penal farm sentence for Emerich, Mr. Rucker contended that “Justice” would be done if a SSOO fine-and a six months penal farm sentence was imposed by the court. While attempting to get his client off with a small farm sentence, Mr. Rucker Informed the court that he was not feeling very well and then putting on his well known smile, told the court that the ends of Justice would be met If the court placed Emerich on the penal farm Instead of In prison. Mr. Rucker suggested that the mental : condition of his client should be consldI ered and stated that Emerich was a hermit who had lived by himself for years. “lie is mushy on religion, socialism and other fool things,” suggested Mr. Ilucker. The plea of Mr. Rucker of leniency for a man against whom the evidence showed a young girl was kept fur days In his blacksmith shop resulted In Prosecutor I William P. Evans” bitterly attacking the plan of Mr. Rucker for a small sentenco for Emerich. “The State must insist that only the punishment provided by law in such cases be inflicted here,” said Prosecutor Evans. “The statutes provide a prison sentence and the defendant will be obtaining a bargain sentence when the extreme penalty of the law Is inflicted.* Prosecutor Evans stood his ground and bitterly assailed every effort of Mr. Rucker to obtain a small sentence for Emerich. Mr. Rucker reminded the eourt that a prison sentence Is a severe thing. “I know it is severe, Mr Rucker,” said Judge Berryhill. “I do not like to be severe, as It has been my Inclination to be merciful. I know It is severe, but my conscience tells me that I am right in this ease.” The court then sentenced Emerich from two to fourteen years in prison and fined him $1 and costs. Rucker Indicated that n appeal might be taken and the court fixed tue appeal bond at $2,000 and ordered Emeriih turned over to the sheriff. When the case was tried soma works ago. Judge Berryhill instructed the witnesses to speak in whispers so a crowded courtroom of curious men and woiutu could not hoar the revolting testimony. White Man Arrested With Negroes in Raid Five women, all negroes, and even men, six being negroes, and one white man, were arrested at 3 o'clock this morning when Lieut. Fred Winkler and a squad of police raided an alleged resort nt 714 Douglass street. One negro escaped while the police were making the raid. Anna Klrtiey is charged with k-eping a rosorf. Negro women giving ’he names of Mattie Black, Maud Tindall, Lenora Spright and May Wilson were charged with a statutory offense. Among those taken in the raid was Ed Thomas, negro. 839 East Wabash street. Republican political worker. Other negroes arrested gave the names of John Wilson, Frank Bohanan and Herb Carpenter of Indianapolis and William White and Henry Johnson of Muncie. Albert Cox, 60, a white man, who slid his home was in Muncie, was charged with associating and with operating a Mind tiger. The other men were charged with associating. Cox admitted to the police that he owned a half quart of whisky, found in a room where ho and the Tindall woman were arrested. He said he bought the liquor from a taxi driver.

CLOTHIERS OPEN STATE MEETING ‘Keeping at It’ Keynote of President’s Prosperity Address. . “Keeping everlastingly at it brings success,” said W. L. Johpson, Seymour, president of the Indiana Retail Clothiers Bnd Furnishers’ Association, in touching on business conditions in his address at the opening session association s fourth annual convention this afternoon at the Claypool Hotel. He said in part: “In the adjustment we have all had our part. We have taken our medicine and should now forget the taste. In the last few flionths foreseeking, progressive clothiers bought sparingly and to quickly liquidate their stocks and turn it into cash named prices without any regal'd whatever to loss, cost or replacement value, and In doing so they have taken a-much greater loss than any other class of merchants during the adjustment period. This fact cannot be emphasized too strongly, but they stood their loss gracefully, cleaned house of many undesirable fabrics and are now in position to offer only dependable, new, attractive merchandise. "However, with the labor conditions unchanged and with the public demanding better quality, the cold facts are that unless clothiers continue to do business at n great loss prices for new, reliable fabrics will not be as low as the prices* | at which goods were sacrificed and when | millions were lost in order to reduce | stock and clean up quickly, and the only j clothing that can be offered as low in price a* the prices made while goods j were being sacrificed will be made from I old, Undesirable fabrics which have been j so unsatisfactory in the past and in no way compare with the new goods aud j I feel It is our duty to enlighten the I public in every way possible on this situation. "I want to say that I am an optimist regarding the business for this year and, while there are many unemployed,, the fact that prices are now at a low level and that 4luny have not been buying for some time should be a great stimulant I to this year's business, but we must work land work bard. This is not the time to j sit still and tbiuk our troubles are all I over. Keeping everlastingly at it brings success.

NEW DAYLIGHT BURGLAR BUSY North Side Residence Looted of S3OO Worth of Jewelry. Anew daylight burglar has put In nn appearance In the north section of the city, and has started robbing homes while the people are away. During tie last two months the police have captured five btfrglars of this type, four of whom have operated *ln the north section of the city. None of these five is at liberty, all either being in prison or in jail. The home of Charles H. Brackett, 2830 College avenue, was entered and robbed yesterday by the new daylight burglar. H. H. Echols, 2624 College avenue, saw the man walk around the side of the Brackett residence and gave the police an excellent description of him. The burglar cut the in the rear door near the lock. He entered and ransacked every room in the house. Mrs. Brackett w r as away from home about two hours and it is believed the thief watched her leave the house. The burglar obtained sls, four watches, five rings, one of the rings set with diamonds, a chain and other Jewelry, the. total value of which is about S3OO. One watch was a keepsake of Mrs. Brackett’s, it having been a -gift to her from her father some years ago, and the watch was of platinum and gold and of odd design. A woman assisted a man In holding up and robbing Barney Podkln, 1244 Union street. Podkiu was walking on TwentyFirst street near College avenue when a man halted him with a revolver. The woman then' searched Podktn’a. pockets and took a purse containing $2. A negro bandit halted an automobile at Harding street and White River, and robbed Frank Phillips. 447 East South street, and Mary Belz, 441 North Alabama street. The robber covered Phillips with a revolver and forced him to give up a ring and $7. A negro hurled a brick through a wlpdow of the Jack Sellgman store, 302 Indiana avenue, and grabbed a mandolin and ran. Lawrence Boulet, 318 Muskingum street, pursued the thief and the man dropped the mandolin and escaped. The police are searching for a prowler who Is believed to have been shot by Carl Snyder, 1225 Shelby street. Snyder was awakened by the buzz of his burglar alarm attached to the door of his garage. Securing his shotgun, he opened the rear door of bis home quietly and stepped into the back yard in time to see a man light a mutch near the garage. Snyder tired and he heard a yell and the prowler disappeared. *> Burglars obtained a liberal food supply at Oscar Pauley’s grocery, 827 Lonek street.

Rheumatism ' Left Him As If By Magic I Reveals Facts Overlooked By Doctors and Scientists For Centuries "I am eighty-three years and I doctored for rheumatism ever since I came out of the army over fifty -years ago.” writes J. B. Ashelman. “Like many others, I spent money freely for so-called ‘cures.’ and T have read about ‘Uric Acid’ until I codld almost taste It. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and still I could not hold a pen. But now, as if by magic, l am again In active business and can walk with ease or write all day with comfort. Friends are surprised at the change.” HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Ashelman is only one of who suffered for years, owing to the general belief in false, theory that “Uric Acid” causes rheumatism. This erroneous belief Induced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might just as well attempt to put out a fire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis'and like complaints, by taking treatments supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicians and scientists iiow know that Uric Add never did, never can and nevei will cause rheumatism; that it Is a natural and necessary constituent of the litood; that it is found in every new born babe; and that without It we could/ not live! These statements may seem strange to some folks, who have all along been led to believe In the old “Uric Acid” humbug. It took Mr. Ashelman fifty year* to find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, other disorders, and recover his strength from “The Inner Mysteries,” a remarkable book now being distributed free by an authorltv who devoted over twenty years to the scientific study of this particular trouble NOTE: If any reader of the Time* wishes the book that reveals these facts regarding the true cause and cure of rheumatism, facts that were overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past, simply send a post ..ard or letter to H. P. Clearwater, No. 152 R Street, Hallowell, Maine, and it will be sent by return mall without any charge whatever. Cut out this -notie* lest you forget I If not a sufferer ynrself hand this good news to some afflicted friend.-—Ad-vertisement.
