JAMESON MAKES PUBLIC APPEAL Street Rail Head Asks 'Consideration of City’s Welfare in Rate Petition. The question of whether street ear service ahuil stand still or go forward is one •for the people of Indianapolis to decide. Dr. Henry Jameson, president of the hoard of directors of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, said today in an appeal to citizens to consider the street ear situation. The company goes to a hearing before the pubiie service commission tomorrow on its petition for d-eeut fates and 2-cent transfe.s. “It is a Question of vital importance to the city,” said Dr. Jameson. “Our company has strained every resource and exhausted every economy that ingenuity can devise. And yet our $18,500,000 taxed property value and our 5-cent fare revenues will not produee the service that the rapidly growing city demands. The nickel fare simply will not do the work. CITES EXPENSES OF EAST YEAR. -The unthinking citizen who Teels that, once we've paid the motornien and conductors wv can pocket the rest of his nickel as pure profit, is mistaken. We get less out of our gross receipts than anybody we do business with, in 1920 we paid $1,232,000 in wages to conductors and motornien, and other wages brought the total charge for labor up to two millions. We spent on maintenance last year $1,128,000. Our coal bill for the year was s££•'s,ooo, and we do not expect that this year's will be much leas, if any. Our taxes amounted to $500,471. and we paid accident and injury claims aggregating $109,440. “Compare some of these items with the two items listed for the people whose Investment is taxed at $15,500,000. Our banded debt is over $13,000,000, and we paid $829,000 in the form of Interest. The owners of $5,000,000 worth of stock received only $300,000, one of the smallest items charged against the gross receipts. m “The nickel will not do the work. We have stretched It in every direction, but It simply will not cover service, wages, maintenance, interest on borrowed money and invested capital, and so on. Our property is not such that we can borrow more money on it, and we are not earning anything that would warrant a banker in lending us large sums to make extensions. SAYS KATE BOOST NOT FOB PROFIT. “Every man and woman interested in the welfare and growth of this, his home city, should think of this company as a great industrial institution whose product is absolutely essential to the very existence of the community, and that without adequate support* it must languish and fail. The slight additional help which it requires and has asked for will not, and cannot be used for any selfish profit but for legitimate charges and surely needed betterments to the service. “We believe and have faith in the people of Indianapolis and feel that they will meet this problem in the same splendid spirit in which they have met the many additional burdens brought about by the war. “We feel it is up to the city to decide whether it wishes to stand still or go forwara. We cannot extend our tracks or buy new equipment when we are not making money with which to do it, or pay interest on money borrowed for this purpose.”

DEATH AND RUIN - MARK UPRISING IN TEUTON CITY (Continued From Page One.) outlook and measures are being taken to combat the menace. Five dynamite outrages were reported from Saxony a Communist stronghold. The city hall at Kodewisch was blown up and half of it was destroyed. A bomb was exploded in the city hall at Auerbach. The courthouse at Leipzig, where tHe trial of the German war criminals is scheduled to open May L was damaged by an explosion. Two bombs were thrown against the Superior Court Building at Dresden. The suund of battle rung through the streets of Eisleben for huurs. Part ol the railway lines were torn up. Miners who had refused to obey the strike order were driven from the pits. Trains were derailed near Dieskau and and more than half a dozen persons were injured. Herr Hoelz, former picturesque bandit In Saxony, is reported "on the warpath.” PROCLAMATION URGES GOVERNMENT OVERTHROW. Two Communist organs, the Rote Fahne, in Berlin, and the Volks Zeitung, In Hamburg, print proclamations in bold language calling upon the workers throughout Germany to arm themselves to “overthrow the bourgeois government so that a dictatorship of the proletariat can be established." Herr Weismann, director of public safety in Berlin, expressed the opinion that the movement would collapse before it could become serious In this city, but nevertheless he took strong precautionary measures to meet trouble as guards were established to frustrate any attempt to blow up public buildings with dynamite. Guards were also provided for prominent public officials. The trouble had not yet spread to Bavaria at the time this dispatch was written, although Bavaria previously bad been discrlbed as a hotbed of communism. Disarmament has not yet been put in effect in Bavaria and the government at Munich still has the support of the civic guard to maintain order and it is reported the situation was well In hand there on Wednesday. Leaders of the social democrats and the trade unions have warned their followers against Joining in any general strike.

Va„ March 24. —Women employes in the various State departmerts now housed in the temporary capitol must lay aside their cigarettes in accordance with an order issued by the State board of public works, barring, all smoking in the building.

‘PAL’ TESTIFIES TO BERNAUER’S. PART IN CRIME (Continued From Page One.) nauer walked past the confectionery on the night of Oct. 22 and Bernauer stepped inside. Jones said he walked to South street and back again to look into the window of the shop to see whether Bernauer would have the nerve to hold up Eaids. As he reached the front of the store, he said, he heard a shot, and, looking into the window, saw Bernauer'* hand drop. He ran to the door and then away from the store and dowp South street, going east, followed by Bernauer. He said Bernauer came to his house later in the night and divided the money which be said Bernauer had taken from the cash register at Raid's store. When Norman E. Price took the stand he detailed his escape from the State Farm on the morning of Oct. 25 or 2(5. On cross-examination Price refused to answer the question of Ira Holmes, counsel for the defendant as to whether he had ever been arrested at Cincinnati, Ohio, with Charles Jones. Mr. Ilolmea appealed* to the court to order Price to answer, but Judge Blair declined to foree an answer, stating that Price was already In the custody of'the officers and it would be impossible to inflict punishment on him. Price testified he was wearing the brown suit owned by Bernauer at the time he was arrested in January and that during the time he was confined in the Marlon County Jail he sold the garment to a prisoner named Barr, who wore it to the Jeffersonville The witness identified a suit shown by the State as the one which he had sold Barr and which had belonged to Bernauer. He said he obtained $3 for the suit and gave Bernauer half this amount. He asserted he did not know whether Bernauer bad spent this money for morphine, nor did he know that Doremus Wells was selling morphine to the prisoners In the Marlon County Jail. Lee Parker told of a visit made to bis room at the Broadway Hotel' by Bernauer on the night of Oct. 22, when tho defendant told him he had "croaked a fellow.” A week later, Parker said, while he and Bernauer, Norman Price and Charles Jones were riding in a stolen auto, Bernauer again spoke of having killed a fellow. On the night that Bor nauer visited his room, about midnight, Parker stated, Bernauer asked to wear a suit which was lying on the bed anil was the property of Gene Price, then a prisoner at tRe State farm. He. said ho consented, but for some reason Bernauer did not wear the suit. He told of seeing Bernauer carrying a .45-caliber revolver. Parker admitted that Gene Price had come to his room at the hotel after escaping from the State farm, but denied h§ and Charles Jones assisted Price in making his escape. Two nights after the murder, Charles Newgent testified, he took a walk with Bernauer, who asked him for money to buy anew suit, saying the poliee would pick him up with the one which he was then wearing. Newgent said he had no money and refused the request. Bernauer, he said, asked him If Charles Jones had “told him anything,” to which he answered In the negatiwe. lie asserted that Bernauer told him if he did know anything that he bad better keep his mouth shut. Newgent also testified to being with Bernauer and Jones on the night of the murder, saying he rode-about Indianapolis with them in a car that was stolen. This car was the property of Samuel Lynnes and was stolen from near the Y. M. C. A. building about 7:30 o’clock; Frank McNulty, a clerk at the Broadway Hotel told of having assigned Bernauer a room Oct. 22 with Jack Matthew. When Matthew took the stand be stated that Bernauer had slept with hint that night and that he had seen him carrying a heavy Army revolver. Matthew also said Bernauer asked to borrow a suit, but refused a brown suit, because the defendant stated it. was too much like the one he was wearing.

LESH DELIVERS SCHOOL RULING Legalizes Meetings of County Superintendents at Counties’ Expense. Tho State superintendent of public Instruction may call meetings of couuty superintendents, the expenses of the huperintendeuts to lie paid by tbe counties, U. 8. Leah, attorney general, ruled today. A bill authorizing the calling of such meetings failed to pas the Legislature, but Mr. Leah ruled that additional legislation la not necessary. He called attention In his ruling to the •law which provides that county superintendents shall be under the direction of the State superintendent and to the law which allows a maximum of SSO a month and not more than S3OO a year for traveling expenses for the superintendents. In this connection he called attention to the fact that the new law does not apply specifically to expenses within the county. Mr. Lesh also ruled that it is necessary for the State board of education to adopt a textbook on Industrial arts within a reasonable time. He said the fact that no suitable book has been offered may be Just cause for delay. The question of whether the board Is required to adopt such a. book was up for discussion at the last meeting.

Push Jail Plumbing in Face of Criticism The County commissioners today were prepared to go forward with the plumbing improvements at the Mailon County Jail in face of criticism said to have been made by the State board of accounts. Some days ago the commissioners awarded a contract for the installing and repairs of Jail plumbing for approximately $30,000. According to Commissioner Harry Tutewiler the members of the Slate board cf accounts are of the opinion that the commissioners illegally awarded the contract as sufficient time was not given for advertising the opening of bidw Commissioner Tutewller claims that the commissioners are acting under a written ogler from Judge James A. Collins to out the recommendations of the grand’ Jury that tpe plumbing ooudltlou* at the jail be remedied. Mr. Tutewller states that this order Is on file and the commissioners are obeying it.

DECKER BARES CRIME TO JURY Latest Confession Exonerates Dago Joe of Part in Lovett Murder. gnecial to The Times. WARSAW, Ind„ March 24.—Virgil Decker, 18, who confessed murdering Leroy Lovett, his chum, went before a special grand Jury to tell the story. H. W. Graham and L. W. Stookey, prosecuting attorneys in the case, were prepared to ask the Jurors for an indictment charging murder in the first degree. According to Robert Buhler, attorney representing Virgil, the boy will “make a clean breast of It all.” Decker's latest statement, made late yesterday, followed practically the lines of his first. In which he assumed full responsibility for the crime. He exonerated Dago Joe Invagnolia, whom he named as the murderer a few days ago. Virgil confessed again that he struck Lovett over the head with an iron bar in the river cabin on the rear of the Fred Decker farm. He then placed the body by the Pennsylvania railroad track tef V avert suspicion of murder, he said. The boy said he killed Lovett, following a fight In the cabin. They had been drinking "dago red" liquor, he said, and they engaged in a drunken quarrel which culminated In the murder. It is understood the authorities investigating the case will ask tfce grand Jury to follow the same lead they have pursued—that Lovett was murdered to collect $24,000 life insurance In view of the striking resemblance between Decker and his pal. FORCE MARKS GIPSY’S TALK AT THEATER (Continued From Page One.)

at the tabernacle and at night the evangelist will preach an Easter sermon. Announcement has been made that more than $17,000 cf the $25,000 needed to pay the expenses of the campaign and for building the tabernacle hove been raised. It Is the hope of the evangelist that the total will be reached by Sunday so that no collections will be necessary the last two weeks of the campaign. GIPSY SEEN AS MASTER OF ENGLISH. Last night Gipsy Smith preached probably his most beautiful sermon so far during the campaign. He becarqe oratorical. more so than he has been in the past and he also drew some word pictures in which he showed that he is a master in the English tongue. His sermon last eight was an intellectual ap peal for men and women to accept the ttachlngs as presented by St. John in that no one can be saved unless they are born again. "You will never know God unless you pass through the experiences of the new birth,” said Gipsy Smith. “God to yon and me will be an unknowable quantity unless we pass through this experience. Do not think that you have grown beyond the doctrine of the new birth Don't hold your head up and say that It is old fashioned. Things have changed hut God and the Bible doesn't change. The Bible Is the only book In the world which dares to say, ‘So sayeth the Lord * "Many people read the Bible through but they don’t let the Bible go through them. Oh, those new fangled notions A man came to tne and said that he had received the second blessing. I told him lhat I liked him better when he received the first as I knew' how he was abusing his wife. Any notion that doesn't help you trt be a better and sweeter husband or a better wife. Is not from the teaching of the New Testament.” ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO GENERAL BOOTH. The evangelist paid a tribute to General Booth "that wonderful old man who with the aid of a band, of conscientious workers, has put a golden cable of song and prayer around the world.” They will raise thousands from the shims of the cities Into the daylight. General Booth taught the doctrine of the new birth. He didn't invent it. It Is Christ's own lues sage. The messuge from the white throne. If you find it, you will find him. If you think you are too Mg to do that, you sin against God.” The evangelist asked. “Can a man be born again when be is old? It Is not Impossible. The ministers know that it is the young people who are coming Ad Christ. For every gray haired old men who will come to Christ there will bo thirty young people. Try to learn to play the piano at the of 60. Try so study botany, art and science at tho ng of 60 and you will realise what trouble you will have with the greatest study--Christ. All things are possible with God. Oh, If you have been growing old in sin, make baste to Jesus. Make haste or you will find the door closed. Stop asking questions. Be born again. Who can understand the infinite? Who can scale the heights of the resurrection morning. You cannot analyze a rain drop but you drink water. Get off of your stilts and bring your Intelligence to Jesus. Tell van how He caught the aong of a eheruoirn, wrapped It up In lVathera and gave you tho lark.” "JESUS CAME TO TENT OF A GIPSY." , Speaking in a personal way, the evangelist said, “I know that Jesus came to the tent of a gipsy and that a gipsy and his saw the light aud all became ministers. I know that I was boru again. I know that Jesus came down In the night of my sin, He Wluminnted the night and brought me out Into tfle light of day. Are you sure that you have been adopted In the family of God. Anyone knows when he has been born Yon can feel its pull. You can feel the’ pull of the cross when the Christ has caught your soul. You may set tho bell* of Heaven ringing for all time if you accept Jesus. It isn’t by head work—it’s heart work.” During the Invitation a blind, man asked to be escorted from his seat to the pulpit where he could shake the hands of the evangelist whom he could hear and not see. v. "This is wonderful,” said the evangelist as he shook hands with him. ‘‘Here is a blind man confessing Christ. He is blind but he can see Jesus. How about you people who have your eyesight and yet fail to see Jesus?” Several fathers were led forward by their sons and In several Instances wtoes accompanied their husbands. Postmasters to Aid Revision Mail Lists Postmasters throughout the country ars urged to Impress upon business houses the fact that many mailing lists now In use are obsolute and inaccurate, according to a bulletin received from the Postofflca Department at Washington by Robert E. Springsteen today. The bulletin instructs postmasters to assist business bouses In revising and correcting lists new in use, and to explain to them that the use of obsolete lists puts a big burden upon the Postofflce Department and greatly Increases the clerical expense of handling useless mall.

SECURITIES HELD FREE FROM TAX Judge Finds for Risk Firms Against State Auditor. A decision has been rendered by Judge Harry Chamberlin of Circuit Court In which he holds that securities deposited by four insurance companies with the State Auditor to comply with the Indiana insurance laws had no taxable status, which would give the county taxing officials any authority to place them on the tax duplicates. The Insurance companies winning the decision were the Pan American Life Insurance Company of New Orlenns. La.; the Federal Life Insurance Company of Illinois, the People’s Life Insurance Company of Illinois, and the Cleveland Life Insurance Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The court also held that the companies were entitled to posses* Its securities na-t----that the refusal of the State Auditor to turn over such securities was illegal. The court held that the county treasurer erred in placing the securities on the tax duplicates aud tho latter was ordered to cancel and remove the entries of assessments. This decision will prevent the payment of thousands of dollars of taxes Into tho county treasury. The derision of the court Is for the years 1911 to 1919. The insurance companies appealed from the taxing officials' decision to the Circuit Court. MARION SCHOOL SERVES MILK.

It opened with Mr. Ashby’s cross-exami-nation of Mr. Forrest and when the commission adjourned at noon the cross-ex-amination had not been completed. TESTIFIES AS TO COAL PRICES. Mr. Ashby opendd his cross-examina-tion with questions as to how prices given in the company’s inventory wers arrived at. The questions led to the revelation that there has been an enormous shrinkage of prices, but that this shrinkage has been counteracted to some extent by increased freight rates. The questioning revealed the fact that the company is paying only $3 a ton for high volatile coal and $4 a ton for Pocahontas. The freight rate, according to the testimony, amounts to $3 a ton. Mr. Forrest testified that during the period of high prices the company paid as high ns sll a tdn for high volatile coal at the mines.

The question of the operation of the company’s own mine In West Virginia also came up. It was stated that the company is paying the subsidiary company which ijperutes the mine the cost of mining each ton plus sl.
