ENFORCE LAW IS PLEDGE OF RESOLUTION (Continued From Page One.) sentences as provided by law for repeating' offenders and by demanding the confiscation of automobiles and other property used in connection with the manufacture, 6ale or distribution of intoxicating liquor; convinced as we are that unless there is a more determined, a more concerted, a more general enforcement of the laws proscribing the use and sale of intoxicating liquor, there will grow up in the community a lack of respect for all of those laws designed for the protection of society, and convinced, further, that the prohiblton laws can not be properly and effectively enforced unless every agency whose function is the enforcement of law—the peace officer, the prosecutor and the court—cooperate cordially and effectively in so adrainistrelng this law as to make its violation at once unprofitable and dangerous to every potential or actual violator, regardless of who he Is and whatever his connections may be; and inasmuch as this meeting has been called by the attorney general of the State of Indiana, acting in cooperation with the Governor of this State and the Attorney General of the United States. “Now, therefore, be is resolved by the prosecuting attorneys cf the State of Indiana, In meeting assembled, that we shall exert ourselves faithfully and assiduously to properly and effectively enforce the prohibition laws of our State to the end that the unfortunate practice of looking to the Federal authorities for the enforcement of such laws may not become a habit with us, and “Be it further resolved, that we will cordially cooperate with every agency, both State and Federal, which has for its purpose the enforcement of these laws, that we will at no time countenance any favoritism in the administration of the law; that we shall demand of ail peace officers nothing short of a continuous bona fide and effective effort to bring all violators of those laws to speedy justice, and that if any peace officers are by satisfactory proof shown to have actively or passively connived at the violation of these laws we will not hesitate to bring them before a proper tribunal to be dealt with according to law; all of which shall be to the end that the supremacy not only of the prohibition law, but of ail law may be firmly reestablished in the mind of the man who for gain would violate a law if the fear of substantial and corrective punishment did not deter him. “We would also take note of the fact that another purpose of this conference is to arouse a determination on the part of the prosecutors of the State to demand compliance with those State laws proscripirig combinations and conspiracies in restraint of trade which may be found within the hordes of the State. “We recognize that we as a people have just passed through a period when the spirit of cooperative action in business and the elimination of competition

was pushed to an extreme and that this was done at limes, for war purposes with governmental sanction. We recognize further however, that the continuance of such combinations and conspiracies in this post-war period, are indirect violations of law and seriously retard the readjustment of prices of necessary commodities. “We have noted with appreciation the efforts the attorney general Is now making to restore real competition In certain lines of business, particularly the Ice and dairy products businesses and we now resolve to Invoke in our respective communities our State laws against combinations and conspiracies in restraint of trade where the circumstances furnish a basis for a reasonable hope or successful prosecution to the end that we may do our part toward making again active in business the wholesome principle of competition, which in turn would make It possible for the prices of commodities to be determined by the actual economic condition of the country and not in violation of law." The conference was called by Attorney General Lesh at the suggestion of United States Attorney General H. M. Daugherty for the purpose of obtaining cooperation among law enforcement agencies. The meeting was informal ir its nature with no prepared speeches. Attorney General Lesh presided and Governor Warren T. McCray made a short talk Tomorrow there will be a conference of judges called by Governor McCray. JUDGES MF.ET THURSDAY.

PLEAD ACTION TO CONFISCATE PHONE PLANT Petition Cites Franchise Section as Grounds for Proposal. The city administration today was urged to start action for the confiscation by the city of the $2,500,000 automatic telephone plant in a letter which T. Ernest Maholm and Ira Chase Koehne sent to Samuel Lewis Shank. Corporation Counsel Taylor Groninger, and the board of public works. The letter cites sections of the franchise of the Indianapolis Telephone Company, which has been merged into the Indiana Bell Telephone Company. The franchise, according to the letter, provides “ia the event of any consolidation, absorption, collusion, combination or cooperation resulting in the increase of the rates fixed herein, or otherwise impairing the force and effect of this contract.” it is agreed that the city may take posession of the Indianapolis Telephone Company’s plant. The letter continues: “In the present telephone rate case now in hearing Frank Wampler, in behalf of the Kell system, testified that when the Bell system were negotiating for and taking over the automatic phono plant it knew that the Bell system did not intend to respect the phone rates fixed in said contract, and that the Bell system intended to increase such rates. “The reasonable elapsed time has demonstrated that the purpose of the Bell system was to violate said contract in the essential respects which were designed iu said contract for the protection of the people, and you and each of you are therefore urged to take the necessary steps to enforce the forfeiture provisions of said contract. The people and taxpayers are entitled to said agreed liquidation damages for their being deprived of the benefits and advantages of said contract securing to the people the lower rates resulting from that keener economy and efficiency of operation, management and development produced by the spur of competitive conditions, and for being obliged to suffer the strangulation and rate extortion produced by combinations and conspiracies. ‘'lndianapolis has long enjoyed, and owes much of her greatness to the important natural advantages of reasonable living costs and utility rates which has enabled ber industries to more successfully compete for business in competitive markets aud bring Increasing volumes of outside business here for the mutual profits of our citizens aud our city. Failure to enforce this forfeiture provision would tend to the loss of these natural advantages, and the $2.500.(4)0 resulting to the city from said forfeiture would not be reasonable compensation for the injury occasion? 1 the city ancl its inhabitants and industries by and through the designing and sinister violation of said contract.” JURY SUSTAINS DE HAVEN WILL Contest of Document by Son Is Failure. A jury in the Marion County Probate Court returned a verdict late yesterday sustaining the will of the late Anne I)e Haven, who left an estate valued at about $4,500. The iury found that the deceased was of sound mind at the time the instrument was made. Under the terras of the will the estate was left as a life estate to her son, H. Walker Do Haven, and at his death it was to go to his three children. The son brought the suit contesting the validity of the will on the grounds that his mother was of unsound mind at the time the will was made. j The evidence introduced attempted to j show that Mrs. De Haven became mentai- ; ly effected following the death of another i son. Edward De Haven, who died while | going to Europe some years ago to study medicine. Evidence was introduced to show that Mrs. De Haven claimed that through the medium of spiritualism she was able to hold conversation with Edward after his death.
