BELL EXPECTS TO PROFIT BY PHONE MERGER Rate Engineer Says Loss of Patrons Will Be Offset. SYSTEM IS EXPLAINED A loss of 2,437 telephones and an increase In revenues of $1,0(12.240.84 annually are expected by the Indiana Bell Telephone Company as a result of the unification of the automatic and manual service and the proposed emergency increase In rates, according to testimony given before the Indiana public service commission yesterday afternoon by C. L. Romine, rate engineer of the company. The loss in telephone stations is based on the theory that the only telephones which will go out of use are those wheie subscribers now have both manual and automatic telephones. The unification Is expected to be completed by Feb. i. according to C. A. Breese, unification superintendent of tne company, who was a witness. He said in answer to questions that after the unification is completed the subscriber will be given his choice In type or telephones wherever possible, but the company would prefer the aditlon of automatic telephones rather than manuals because there is more surplus automatic machinery than manual. He said when new central office machinery Is needed automatic equipment will be installed. INCREASE IN CALES NOT EXPECTED. C. R. Woods, superintendent of traffic, said the company does not expect a material increase of calls on the part or manual telephone subscribers after unification, but it does expect a big increase in calls by automatic subscribers. He said It is estimated fortytwo additional operators will be necessary to handle the calls from automatic to manual telephones. He said the average wage of an operator is $72 a month. In connection with the testimony of Mr. Woods, a demonstration of the manner of connecting telephone calls was given on switchboards installed In the Senate chamber where the hearing was condu >ted. The commission was shown how a call is made from one manual telephone to another, how it is made from one automatic telephone to the other, how it will be made from an automatic telephone to a manual telephone and how it will be made from a manual telephone to an nutomati etelephone. The question was brought out by Commissioner Glenn Van Auken as to who payes the taxes on the telephone Instruments rented by the Indiana company from the American Telephone and Telegraph. No ono could give a definite answer and Mr. Van Auken asked the ■company to submit evidence on this subject. It was stated that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company owns the main office building and that the Indiana company pays a rental of per cent of the original cost of the building and approximately SO per cent of the taxes on the property.

ANOTHER SAYS HE WITNESSED A. E. F. MURDER (Continued From Page One.) every two weeks to get his ‘dope’ and then he’d come back and line the prisoners up and say: “ Well, boys, I left you for a while, but I'm glad to come back and see you and make you stand 12 o’clock inspection at night.’ ” Duner charged ” that in the transfer of men from Coblenz to Antwerp the men were put fifty in a box car with full pack and that they had to stand up all the way with nothing o ea. "A Captain Moore was in charge. He was changhaied back to the States because he was inefficient, I guess,” said Duner. “We came back from St. Mihiel In one of them ninety-day boats they put up here in the States.” ARMY OFFICER AND WITNESS CLASH. An open clash occurred between Col. W. A. Bethel of Army Staff and Herbert L. Cadenhead, Greenville, Miss., former private, when the latter told the Senate committee that he witnessed the hanging of “ten or twelve” American soldiers at Is-Sur-Tllle, Franc 4. “This witness,” shouted Bethel, “is swearing to executions of which the War Department has no record.” Bethel sprang to his feet and glared at the witness. “Only eleven, hangings took place in France, altogether and only two of them were at Is-Sur-Tille,” Bethel cried. Cadenhead snapped back at Bethel with the statement that he saw at least ten men hanged at that place. All the executions, he said, were after the armistice, the first coming in February, 1919. Four of the men hanged were white and the rest negroes, he testified. Soldiers in the camp who had a ham, in the hangings, Cadenhead declared, told him the men were “doped” before they were taken to the gallows “so they wouldn’t know what was coming off.” SOLDIERS AND FRENCH WITNESSED HANGINGS. “I saw the full executions of six.” Cadenhead declared. "The rest—five or six—l saw from my truck where I was guarding general prisoners. They had sacks over their heads.” Cadenhead offered photographs taken by a comrade of the hangings. “Most of the hangings I completely witnessed,” he said, “were of men accused of crimes against girls or women. One of them was a white lieutenant, I was told. “Soldiers were ordered out to see the hangings and French people—men and women—witnessed them also.” Cadenhead gave the names of Captain Robert of Chicago and Lieut. R. D. Parks, Clarksdaie, Miss, as his superior officers. “What does the War Department mean by saying only eleven men weee banged tn France?” asked Senator Braiidegee, chairman of the committee, of Colonel Bethel. “It means the whole period of the war —including the period after the armistice,” replied Bethel. “This witness swears to something of which the War Department has no record.” CADENHEAD TOLD TO STAY IN CITY. Cadenhead was warned to remain in the city subject to later call. He placed the time of the executions as the period beginning from mtd-Febrnary, 1919. A half dozen witnesses who had made statements in connection with charges that Major Opie had shot his men In Trance, were present and ready to testify. Some of these had been quoted as denying they had seen Opie kill his men. Opie was present, represented by his counsel, Col. John A. Cutehlngj, Richmond, Va. OPIE SAYS HE CAN DISPROVE CHARGES. “I can produce fifty witnesses and one hundred fifty letters and telegrams to refute the accusations that I shot down two American soldiers tn France,” Opie said. He held a sheaf of papers tn his hands. “There are letters and telegrams from men who served under me In Franee.” he said. "They will help me in proving that the preposterous charges made against me are utterly unfounded.” Indications were Opie would be called to the witness stand in his own defense late today. In the meanwhile he will git and listen while* former doughboys who fought Under his command in the Argonne forest present sworn testimony against him. i William St. John of Lynchturg, Va., yesterday testified he stood ten paces from Opie on Oct. 9, 1918, and watched him shoot through the back a headquarters courier who failed to halt at the Major’s command. Four other soldiers named by St. John as having witnessed this shooting will be called to testify, Chairman Brandegee said.

SHANK FAVORS ERECTING TWO FIRE STATIONS Also Suggests Plans for Levee on East Bank of White River. GETS OFFICE SCHEDULE After a special meeting of the board of public safety yesterday Mayor Lew Shank announced that the board has decided to request the board of public works to build two new fire houses, one in West Indianapolis and the other in the extreme nbthern portion of the city, somewhere between Maple Road and Broad Ripple In the near future. The Jewett administration discussed the erection of these stations for several months. Erection of the one in the northern section has been recommended several times by the national board of fire underwriters. FLOOD PREVENTION LEVEE PLANNED. The city civil engineering department is preparing plans for the flood prevention levee along the east bank of White River and the south bank of Fall Creek from the city hospital to Fall Creek, along the south bank of the creek to White \River, thence meandering along the east bank of the river to Washington avenue, Mr. Shank said. The resoluI tion for the elevation of the Belt Railroad from White River to Prospect street, which has been prepared for some time, will be presented to the board of public works soon. The flood prevention levee is the backbone of Mr. Shank’s plan for aiding in the elimination of unemployment. It is planned to build the levee out of surplus material scraped off of unimproved streets which are above grade. This Is to be done by men and teams in order that the most labor possible may be used. The city council, prior to the opening of the new administration, promised at the proper time to pass an ordinance to replenish the unimproved street repair fxinds whtch would be exhausted in carrying out the levee scheme. DESIGN FOR CITY ALTO LETTERING. A sign painter today is painting new city lettering upon a muncipai automobile as a sample. If Mr. Shank likes the work all cars will be decorated. The design consists of the word “city” painted on both sides of the car In letters i eight Inches high and the word “Indianj apolis” across the back of the vehicle. “No one ought to mistake a city car I with such signs on them,” said the mayor, j “I’ll bet you we stop some joy riding, too.” ! While he Is having signs painted the | mayor said he Intends to have placards bearing the warning, “This office opens at 8 a. m. o’clock" placed In every city ! hall office. j ’The offices will open at 8 o'clock. If (employes don't got on the Job by 8:30 (o’clock I'm going to have them scut home '■ for the day anil dock them that day's j pay," said the mayor. (FIXES SPEED I OR FIRE ! KI NS AT 30 MILES, j The board of public safety at its ! special meeting also adopted a resolution | prohibiting operation of tire apparatus | at more than thirty miles per hour going to a fire and fifteen miles per hour ret timing. Feeling the need for fresh air to start | the day right, Mr. Shank walked most 'of the way to the city hall from his home at 3547 East Washington street, this morning. Mrs. Shank and the mayor's chauffeur came along In the Shank private automobile and picked him up when he was nearing the business district. Mr. Shank so far has not stepped lnsids the city automobile which formerly was as signed to the mayor, making good his promise to use his own car. WOMEN EXECUTED.
