USERS ASSOCIATION ASKS RECEIVER FOR THE CITIZENS GAS CO. Suit Seeks to Set Aside 90-Cent Rate Fixed by Order of Public Service * Commission. ACTIONS FILED IN TWO COURTS Two suits, one seeking the appointment of a receiver for the Citizens Ga3 Company, and both seeking t d set aside the 90-eents gas order of the public service commission and to declare sections of the public service commission act unconstitutional, were filed in the Marion County courts today. One suit was filed by the Gas Users Protective Association and Ira Chase Kohne, attorney for the association, against the gas company and the public service commission.
This salt asks the following: That ' the 80 cent gas order be set aside: that the public service commission act be sot •side as unconstitutional; that the gas company be enjoined from carrying out the provisions of the order; that a receiver be appointed for the gas coni- ; pany. making a!l' patrons creditors; that an accounting of the books of the gas company be ordered: that th" city h° given an opportunity to take over the property of the company and that if it fails to do so that the patrons lie given the same opportunity. This suit was filed in Cimnlr Court. SUIT ENTERED AGAINST SERVICE COMMISSION. The other suit was filed in Superior Court by Orville P. Foreman against thg public service commission, th" gas <(n>rnpnny not being named as a defe-n-tenf. The suit asks that the rate order b- set aside and that sections of the utility act be declared void. The gas users association in their suit set out that the rates to be charged by the gas company are fixed both by franchise and by legislative enactment They contend further that no emergency . exiats for an Increase in rates, and . further, that the standard fixed by law has not been maintained by the company. Mr. Foreman in his suit stated that he ■was taking the action in behalf of him- j seif and all other residents of the city and patrons of the gas company. He states that he has demanded that the city take action in the matter and that the city has refused to do so. He said the gas company has not and cannot surrender franchise under the utility act.
PAYS PROFITS WOULD BE 11 PER CENT. The complaint in addition alleges that the public service commission has estimated the value of the property of the company at $0,000,000 and that the rates now being'charged would mean a jirofit of 11 per cent on this valntion. In setting out the reasons why the order be set aside and the so-called emergency sections of the utilities act be declared unconstitutional. Woodburn Masson, Mr. Foreman’s attorney, says: "PlaintifT alleges that no emergency exists in the affairs or condition of said company or of the city of Indianapolis or of the residents and citizens thereof making desirable or necessary or lawful any change in the rate for gas permitted to be charged by the Citizens Gas Company under its contract with the city of and that no injury to tin, business or interests of said company will or can result from'the requirement that such company charge the rate for gas as set forth in such contract. CHARGES ORDER IS I'.NLAWH L. "PlaintifT avers that the order of the defendant public service commission of Indiana, so made as aforesaid, is unlawful and unreasonable, and should be set iside for the following reasons: “1. It impairs the obligation of the contract between the city of Indianapolis and the Citizens Gas Company. "2. It suspends the operation of the provisions of the constitution of the Cnited States and the State of Indiana during what the defendant deems to be an emergency, as described in said order. “Jf. It grants to the Citizens Gas Company privileges and immunities which upon the same terms do not equally belong to all citizens. “4. The Shively-Spencer utility commission act in so far ns it attempts to crant power to the defendant to change the rate fixed hy the contract between the city of Indianapolis and the Citizens Gas Company contravenes section 10 of article 1 of the Constitution of the Cnited States, and section 21. article 1. of the constitution of the State of Indies. •'5.

dents judges to ne an emergency threatening injory to the business and interests of the said gas company to charge a different rate for gas sold to plaintiff and other citizens of Indianapolis from that fixed in the contrnct between said company and said city, is in violation of section 2*l of article 1 of the constitution of the State of Indiana. “S, Such order authorizes the Citizens Gas Company to charge a rate for gns that is unjust and extortionate In that it creates an income that enables the Citizens Gns Company to receive unreasonable returns upon its investment and upon the valuation of the property used by it in supplying the citizens of Indianapolis with artificial gns." The successful prosecution of these suits might conceivably result in tho abolishment of the public service commission through court action or In preventing the commission from Issuing emergency rate orders for utilities which have not surrendered their franchises. The commission has issued a large number of orders I ased on the same provisions of the law as the gas order.

INDIANA WILL CELEBRATE 4TH IN MANY EVENTS American Legion Exercises at State Fairground to Be Prominent. CONCERTS IN PARKS The Nation’s birthday will be extensively celebrated In Indiana Monday, many cities and towns planning elaborate events, ranging from picnics and outings 'o civic assemblages, athletic -nd sporting contests and In 6or.e ins’ances the oldfashioned pyrotechnic displays that bring joy to the hearts of all boys. Probably the most elaborate observance will be In Indianapolis where the Marion County Council of the American Legion has taken i charge of the program to be given at the State fairground. It will be in'the nature of a State celebration, as invitations have been sent throughout Indiana for the public to be present. Speakers of national note will be oo the -program here, Including Admiral Robert E. Conntz of the United State* Navy, Col. Alvin M. uwalejr, a member of tlie Americanism commission or the American Legion, and Former I'nited states Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. Frederick Van Nuvs, I'nited States District Attorney, will preside at the meeting. The day will start with a great parade I of former service men, representing not alone the World War, but the SpanlshAmeriean War and Civil War.

MANSLAUGHTER CASE QUASHED Judge Collins Throws Out of Court Indictment Following Building Accident.
Judge James A. Collins of Criminal Court today sustained a motion to quash the Indictment charging John M. Melvin. 944 I/Ciington avenue, with involuntary manslaughter for (be death of Ezra Tabor who was killed when tbe frame work of the Emmerich Manual Training High School collapsed last November. Tabor was one of the workmen employed on the building. Mr. Melvin was superintendent of the Hetherington A- Berner Iron Works, which was doing the construction work. He was indicted by the Marion county grand Jury early In the year. On April 4. the date set for the arraignment of Mr. Mel vln, counsel filed a motion attacking the theory of the indictment and asked that it lie quashed. The Indictment was based upon the socalled building code of the City of In dlannpoliM as pertaining to steel construction. The State In its Indictment based Its allegations of responsibility for the collapse of the steel structure on the theory that the city building code was violated. The defense In its motion ask ing that the indh-tment he quashed, attacked the validity of the theory of the State. Counsel for the defense and Prosecutor William P. Evans argued the various legal points before Judge Collins some weeks ago. The court has had the motion under udviscnient since then. The theory of the Indictment is not in accord with the one advanced by County Coroner Dr. Paul T. Robinson who bound over several others connected with the construction of the school annex after a coroner’s Inquest. LIBRARY CLOSES MONDAY.

THOSE AFOOT HAVE DUTIES AS WELL AS RIGHTS Auto Drivers to Blame Until They Prove Innocence, Is Traffic Theory. MANY ‘JAY WALKERS’ By VOLNEY B. FOWLER. Pedestrians claim some rights in the maze of downtown traffic. Pedestrians of Indlnnapolls generally walk about anywhere, any time they please. The can walk out In front of an automobile and get knocked down If they so desire. The blame Instantly attaches to the driver and stays there until ho Is proved Innocent. The driver always has to prove himself Innocent. Thus It Is in Indianapolis. Not so in France and some other places. To get struck by a vehicle is to get detained by the police until It Is found out wheth er the person on foot was careless. Found careless It's a dollar and costs or whatever they fine you In France, and elsewhere they have such a theory. American, police have come to recognize that the foot passenger bag some duties as well as a great many privileges, the report of the committee on standardization of traffic laws and regulation* at the recent meeting of the National Police Conference of I'nited States in New York City, shows. The pedestrian has no right to ja.v-walk Into danger and jam up traffic while his mangled remains are temoved, appears to be the theory behind some of the recommendations of the traffic committee. SECTION DEVOTED TO PEDESTRIANS. For Instance, the report, which is In legal form suitable for adoption throughout the country, devotes a section to pedestrians ns follows: “Pedestrians shall cross at a regular crosswalk, wherever such crosswalk is not distant more than 150 feet. Pedestrians, In crossing streets, shall at all times obey the direction of policeofficers, wherever they are assigned, conveyed 1 y voice or gesture.

WILL OPPOSE W EST SIDE MOVE City Officials Indicate Disannexation Plan Will Be Fought. City official* today refused to discuss publicly the movement of the Enterprise Civic league for the disannexntion of the section known ns West Indianapolis. They Indicated, however, that the move will be resisted upon the ground that the entire city has helped Fay for millions of dollars worth of Improvements for the section, such as the Hood prevention wall and that the whole city is virtually Interested In keeping It inside city limits so that it would not be removed from the city tax duplicates. The league staretd Its movemnet at a meeting In Assumption Hnll Friday evening. Anger over a report that the city administration Intends to establish the municipal yards at Kentucky avenue and White river, which Is at one of the two entrances to West Indianapolis from the rest of the city, Is understood to have prompted the agitation. Mark 11. Miller, president of the board of public works, said that the board has not yet definitely decided where the yards will be located. Most city officials who are Interest*' T . In the yards are understood to favor the Kentucky avenue and White river site, liecanse of Its central location, however. The section which the west siders desire disnnnexed lies west of White River and south of the Bt, Louis division of ttie Rig Four railroad. Tilts comprises practically ail of the Fourteenth ward. Leaders of the movement say that more than 25,0tW people reside In the district. Leaders of the longue claimed that they would have MX* copies of the petition In circulation today. The league Intends to present the petition to the- board of public works anti falling to get. action upon it there wilt go into court with It. City officials said they believe that the law gives the city council original power to disannex and that before the council is compelled to act the petition must bear the signature of every property owner in the territory which desires to leave the city. SPARRING MATE OF JACK IS HELD Former Partner of Dempsey Wanted in Chicago. When Jack Dempsey entered the ring to defend his championship title today, ! William H.

NO. 44.
After one minnte of the fourth round Dempsey crashed his right to Carpenter's Jaw and the Frenchman went down In a heap near his own corner. He took the count of nine, with Manager Descamps looking at him from his corner in a! solute terror. Dempsey stood three paces away from the prostrate Frenchman poised with his right hand ready to finish the" task. SECOND BLOW ENDS THE BOUT. Carpentier arose with an effort. He had hardly straightened himself when Dempsey, with his Jaws gritted together, his beard fairly bristling, a look of savage ferocity, crashed his right again to the Jaw after one minue and sixteen seconds. The Frenchman fell to the floor with a thud that rocked the ring. He was obviously out. The count was unnecessary. Dempsey stood over him again, apparently unwilling to be fooled by a gong like be was in Toledo two years ago. He seemed to snap out of deep thought when .Tack Kearns, his hair standing on end. his arms shaking like leaves, rushed to him and threw his arms around him. Kearns tried to get the champion back to his corner, but he pushed him aside; leaned over and picked up Carpentier. holding him in his arms until the frantic Descamps climbed through the ropes and dragged the Frenchman to his corner. Carpentier was out for fully three minutes. Even when he left the ring nearly ten minutes later, he could not hold himself erect. He smiled when Demspey approached him and shook hands, with his left glove on the Frenchman’s shoulder. HANDS I*RAISE TO FRENCHMAN. “Carpentier is a fine boy and gat'd nj* 8 tnught ftghh I am .going home as soon as I can." Dempsey said to the press box. Dempsey won the fight with his terrific body punches. He found out in the first round that he could take the vaunted right hand punch of the Frenchman. and he waded in. fighting a typical Dempsey fight, pounding the Frencnman absolutely disregarding his defense. Dempsey punches were quite obviously tearing down the Frenchman. In his corner after the first round Dempsey recovered and came back in the second to fight a running round. In the middle of the second round Carpentier got a staggering right flush to Dempsey's jaw. It rocked the champion up against the ropes and the crowd yelled like maniacs when Carpentier followed his advantage with right and left to Dempsey's jaw. The Frenchman perhaps lost the fight at this point. It was plain to see that he lost heart when ha found himself lacking tile punch to put the champion out when he was groggy. In the third round. Carpentier continued his running fight. He tried several fancy dancing steps and got away when Dempsey backed him to the ropes. Tlio third time. Dempsey showed his speed and cracked Carpentier with a terrible right as he tried to get away. Carpentier was missing with his right. Dempsey, with ever so slight a motion of his head, would turn to the right and left and the blows of the Frenchman slid off the champion's head. Carpentier landed two right flush to Dempsey’s jaw and the champion laughed. Dempsey retaliated wilh another cruel body punch. The Frenchman looked at the French section of the press box and smiled feebly. He was bleeding from the eyes, his mouth was open and the blood was running from his cut lips. His left eye was closing rapidly. It was strikingly apparent then that he could not last much longer. Starting the fourth round Jack Kearns yelled from Dempsey's corner “Go after him now Jack boy, you’ve got him." Dempsey, wide open, sneering at the Frenchman, did go into him and knocked him'out. V GREAT OVATION GIVEN VICTOR. Dempsey was given a tremendous ovation. The hostility of the public toward hltn on account of his war record was expected to bring him the jeers an*f booes that he got when he beat Bill Brennan last winter. Carpentier also got a great reception. He surely was a good loser. He smiled wanly at the crowd and walked ratt6B (Continued on Page Three.)
