MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. . . „ , . t New York, Boston, Fayne, Burns & Smith, Inc. Advertising offices } Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Bayne Cos. The Public and the Commission The act of 1913, creating the public service-con’mlssion, says: Sec. 9. The commission shall value all the property of every public utility actually used and useful for .he convenience of the public. * * * Sec. 11. The commission shall, within five days after such val- * uatlon is determined, serve a statement thereof upon the public utility Interested, and shall file a like statement with the clerk of every municipality in which any part of the plant or equipment of such public utility is located. Sec. 61. Whenever the commission shall believe that any rate or charge may be unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory or that any service is inadequate, or cannot be obtained or that an investigation of any matters relating to any public utility should for any reason be made, it may on its own motion summarily investigate the same with or without notice. The foregoing are the three sections of the public utilUy law of Indiana which have not been enforced and the non-enforcement of which was primarily responsible for the remarkable demonstration of hostility to the commission that took place in Indianapolis today. Although the commission has been in existence for approximately nine rears'lt has not now and never has hid any systematic program for the accomplishment of its purpose—the valuation of "all the property of every public utility." Nor has it filed with the clerks of the various municipalities such statements of value as would tend to enlighten the public as to the justice of the rates fixed for utility sendee. Nor has it taken up “on its own motion” any question of "unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory" charges or Inadequate service. In other words, the public service commission has for years ignored the mandatory provisions of the law that created It and has also Ignored the one option*! provision that would tend to make It popular with the people to whom It is responsible. f It is not strange that thp citizens of Indianapolis should be stirred to Indignant protest against it on the suggestion of a popular leader. It Is not strange that wherever one goes In Indiana one may hear the public service condemned, whether that condemnation Is just or unjust. Throulffiout a period of more than five years rate making In Indiana has been based almost exclusively on the "tentative valuations” established without real hearings by the commission. In each of these orders the commission has endeavored to project itself by asserting that these "valuations" were not to be taken as the true values of the property used and useful in serving the public. #The commission itself has created a distrust of these valuations by its own words. The public cannot be condemned for refusing to accept as "true values” the figures that the commission itself advances only as "tentative.” Utility rates in Indiana are, with few exceptions, based on these tative valuations.” The public does not know whether these rates are just or unjust. The commission declines to say whether the basis of its rate malting is correct or incorrect And the public has grown exceedingly tired of waiting for the "true valuations" that never are produced to show whether the rates they are called upon to pay continuously are just or unjust In a statement issued in its own defense, the public service commission says: “i“he Legislature of Indiana, acting for the people of the State, passed a law in 1913 which requires the public service commission to grant utility rates which will pay reasonable operating expenses, taxes, provide for depreciation and permit a reasonable return on the fair value of the property. Every member of the commission has taken a solemn oath to ’carry out this law. No one will contend that the law Is wrong or that the commission has knowingly or willfully violated it." The last sentence of this statement disclosed how far from contact with public sentiment the commission has strayed. Willingly or unwillingly, the commission as now constituted and as it has been constituted for years, has “knowingly” violated the law that created it by Us failure to obey the mandate of Section 9. And the result of this failure is that hundreds of thousands of citizens are today contending that “the law Is wrong." Unjustifiable, injudicious, foolish and ill advised as was the Shank demonstration today, it will not be without its benefits if, through it, the public service commission Is brought face to face with public sentiment and forced to carry out the mandates of the law that created it

For Fame and Fortune From the record of fatal attempts at feats with Niagara Falls, one can scarcely Imagine that any one would again think of trying anew performance defying the power of these great waters. Yet we have the promise that In June Mile. Eleanor, 17-year-old tight rope walker of Europe, will attempt to cross the falls on a rope—the act which Blondin accomplished fifty years ago. It Is true that she wears a safety device, so that if her foot should slip she would not be swallowed by the raging waters, but we know that it would not be a pleasant experience to fall, even though she would be able to pull herself back on the rope again. It can hardly be believed that she has ever seen this great mass of plunging water, and doubtless the first sight of it will create some fear which will have to be mastered before she will be able to attempt the performance. Not soelcng ago another young girl thought that the successful accomplishment of some dangerous deed connected with Niagara Falls would bring her fame and possibly fortune, and she, like many before her, decided to make the trip over the falls in a barrel—not the ordinary kind of barrel, but a cask in which she could be fastened with straps so that she would not be dashed against the sides of her container. Not a vestige of fear did she have, she said, until after she felt the first movements of the waters as she started on her terrible journey. Her natural inclination was to grasp something to secure herself, but the fact that she was securely bound gave her no chance to satisfy this desire. When the anxious crowd at the foot of the falls caught the barrel and breathlessly open It, they found not the pretty young girl who had such a short time before entered jubilantly into the barrel, but one who had the appearance of an elderly woman-gray haired and with skin drawn taut from the tension on her nerves. What had she gained from her adventure? In a few_ hours she had lost her youthful beauty and health for the fame and fortune which did not come. This was much more dangerous, however, than walking over on a tight rope, but great courage is required for either and if this youthful maid of the “aerial realm" does not possess so-called nerves of iron, we would suggest that she consider well before she attempts this dangerous achievement. Why Wobble? Those patriots who are now endeavoring to upset the work of the committee that planned the rerouting of street cars because the proposed Riverside route Is approximately two blocks longer than the present one, have overlooked one of the most important advantages of the committee's recommendations. * In planning to route Riverside cars east in Washington street to Meridian, the committee offered an arrangement shat made possible a direct transfer from the East Washington street lines at Meridian street, which was much sought by’ patrons from both the east and west. If the board of works, which already has gone on record as favoring the proposed route, now weakens and orders the Riverside cars operated in Indiana avenue, it will destroy this transfer point and contribute very largely to an unbalanced operation of cars which the committee worked long hours to obtain. Mr. Freeman of the board of -works participated in this rerouting effort and is familiar with its advantages. Dr. Spencer and Mr. Coffin of the board could do no better than to accept his judgment in determining this point

PALS YOU WILL BE A MAKIN’ OF SPOOF Y AND JIMMY Beban Keeps His Promise—Betty Is Serious — New Barrymore Movie on View

“Ghosts” sometimM turn out to be mighty good* pals. Eh? You can’t agree with me? I probably should have stated that the ghosts must be live ghosts. Anyway, whether you believe It or not, I, myself, and a whole lot of others, who could crowd into the Alhambra yesterday ’afternoon, made pals of Spoofy, Jimmy Gubbins and a chap by the name of Foster. * Jimmy, Foster, and Spoofy were all “Buddies" over there—meaning what the makers of history term "the World War." The three didn’t know each other before the war, but the war made ’em buddies. They were captured—thrown In a German prison camp. The British war office reported them “dead.” The three pals returned to London together. Jimmy Gubbins lived In the Limehouso neighborhood. His mother drank gin at. the public house on money she obtained from his insurance. While Mrs, Gubbins was talkin' to the spirits with the table and the gin she had drunk as “mediums,” Jimmy and his three pais pounded on her front door just as she was asking the spirits if Jimmy got his beer regularity “over there.” Three knocks atre heard on the door. ( ‘‘Three knocks," Mrs. Gubbins stutters. “That's means he is a gettin’ his beer.” And in walks Jimmy. Mrs. Gubbins at first thinks Jimmy is a ghost. It must o remembered that Mrs. Gubbins was “ lelighted” to .have her boy back, but she tails him that he must be “dead officially” because there Is Just one more Installment duo on his insurance. I am not going to tell you the remainder of this charming story ns I went into detail when the stage version was at the Murat last fall. The movie version was made by the London company of Famous Players-Lasky Corporation.

George Fitzmaurice directed it and he has done a most human job of it. Cyril Chadwick, who created the "Spoofy” role in the stage version, is the Spoofy In the movie. Here Is as fine a bit of comedy work to be seen on the screen. Clare Greet is Mrs. Gubbins, the gin-soaked mother, and her work will stand out when the year is over as one of the natural, real and bonest-to-goodness characterizations of the year. Her facial expression when she attempts to telephone Scotland Yard and manipulate a glass fit gin at the same time, is a work of art. Remember that art is not always a beautiful thing. Others in the cast are Anna Q. Nilsson, Norman Kerry, Anette Benson, Dorothy Fane and others. There are many laughs in “The Live Ghosts,” some pathos, much action and above all. It Is a real story.

again and, although ho has promised himself that lie will go straight, his big heartedness gets the better of him and he robs a bank. He Is soon captured, thanks to the man whom ha had beaten up. lie Is sentenced up the river In short order. The girl lie loves promises to wait for him, but her lovo for her mother finally gets the better of her and she marries another man who ei.n give her mother a homo in, tho country. The news causes a derangement of Bill's mind from which he never recovers. Bill goes to tho home of his former fiancee as soon as he is released and, like another Enoch Arden, he looks through a window nt her happiness. He leave; never to return and his only solace Is found in a little Chinese girl with whom he had played before his tragedy. The play does-not have a happy end ing and In this It is unusual. However, it Is a gripping drama, and Lionel Bar rymoro upholds tho Barrymore tradition In his acting. The program Includes a Christie comedy and a news weekly. “Boomerang Bill” can he seen at the Ohio all this week.

IT IS NOT NEW > BUT SURE-FIRE. The plot of "The Law and the Woman,” at Loew’s State this week, has been seen scores of times both in the movies and on the stage, but it is sure-fire. The picture is made over from a stage play by Clyde Fitfh. A man with a past marries an innocent woman, the latter part being played by Betty Compson. Then the woman whose past he has shared comes into their Uvea as the wife . Sz- e- "I of a ward of the >v? .. husband. The husband attempts I'' ■•U to explain to his. i. * I ward the character of the young p fflm ipan’s wife. A fM m. quarrel follows xrv "•'* y0,,n8 PIC found dead! The fe* f *"'%, W, husband is acJF* cused of murderThen comeg the long le & al fi *ht, ■ ——the sentence to —;. —death, the refusal 0 r the Governor Betty Compson. to. grant clemency and the approaching hour of execution. More than a year passes and the wife becomes a mother, always proving true to her husband. All hope seems to be lost when the wife decides to make a desperate attempt to save her husband. She bleaches her hair, calcimines her face and goes to lead the same life as the widow of the man who was slain. Through months of effort she gains the woman's confidence and attempts to wring from her Ihe story of how, the young husband died, all the time, of course, keeping het Identity a secret This proves more difficult than was but finally she is success^pl. Meanwhile the husband, waiting in the death cell, hears of the life his wife is living and lives In misery ns n result. The climax comes when the prisoner is freed as he is being escorted to the chair. The picture is tensely dramatic, and, although'the last minute pardon scheme has been worked almost to death, it holds the audience spellbound. The acting of Betty Compson in a difficult rjtle is good but equally good is the acting of William T. Carlton, the husband. For

Last winter about this time, Mr, George Eebnn filled a week’s engagement at tho Circle. At that time, be told us that he was planning to make a movie version of “The Sign of the Rose,’’ which had served him on the stage both as a play and as a vaudeville playlet. Beban gave movie fans something to look forward to. Yesterday Beban kept his promise as “The Sign of the Itose’’ was revealed for the first time In Indianapolis on tile Circle screen. Mr, Beban appears in character makeup just as he appears on the screen. , The picture Is presented like any other movie entertainment until near the end of the story when the Italian goes Into a flower shop with forty cents to buy a rose to place on the grave of his dead child, Bosie. In the shop, a detective and a woman of fashion, whose child had been kidnaped, were waiting for a member of a gang to collect SIO,OOO ns demanded in a note. Because the Italian

Then the'transition from a movie play to that of a spoken drama takes place. The -screen disappears and in Its place is a stage setting of the flower shop just as we had seen it on the screen. The detective is just hanging* up the receiver of tho telephone after talking to headquarters. The. society woman is there with the money. The trap is set and it> walks the broken-hearted Italian as played by Mr. Beban. | Mr Beban is a sincere actor. He j doesn't do things half way. He has brought with him the members of the company who appear in the movie in tie scene he enacts as a Bpoken drama. Mr. Beban makes tho best of his emotional opportunities. He knows how to play upon the heart. If you have tears prepare to cry when’Mr. Beban tells of the tragic death of~his little girl. Supporting Mr. Beban in person are Helena Sullivan, Charles H. Elder, Dorothy C.iraei, Gene Cameron. Jeanus Carpenter and Louise Callamenti. Asa picture, “The Sign of the Rose” is worthy of the services of Mr. Beban. It is full of the stuff that reaches the heart. It is a clean picture—one to which any father can take his children without concern. At tho close of the scene in which Mr. Beban and his company appear in person the company was given a tremendous ovation. “The Sign of the Rose” as presented by Mr Beban is a most satisfying entertainment.

DIFFERENCES REND FRANCE AND BRITAIN (Continued From Page One.) The British desire continental Composure and stability, even though it involves a powerful and prosperous Germany. British trade is languishing and British taxes the most burdensome in all Europe. One reason for the slackening of trade is the near elimination of her German markets. A glance at the export figures before the war and now will tell the story. These markets never can be open to British trade' as they were before 191A If the German mark remains at its present value and German industry continues In its present state of disorganization. It Is not merely . A question of profit with Great Britain; It is a question of existence. Her population Is too large to subsist upon hei agricultural resources and is dependent upon her commerce. Great Britain and France differ in policy not only as to Germany bat also as to Russia. Here again Germany and Great ilritain are in, nearer acord than Great Britain and France. If France takes part in the Genoa conference. It probably will be because Poincare agreed to do so and not because ot any real Interest In It. In Asia Minor the differaaces are as shurp as in other places, and will be com is more pronounced later than they now are. Meanwhile negotiations interrupted at Cannes are to continue through ambassadorial channels. The refusal of Poincare to use any longer the supreme war council for such purposes was a direct blow at Lloyd George. The British prime minister has tried to make the supreme council an instrument for governing Europe, and Its abandonment seriously impairs his prestige. While it was useful in bringing the directing heads of the states participating in the council In close contact with one another. It was a source of irritation to that part of European without representation upon it. It assumed in peace time the wide and dictatorial powers exercised by It. during war.

LEAGUE ADVOCATES DISLIKE COUNCIL. The European advocates of the League •of Nations long have been critical of the activities of the supreme council, which, under the direction of Lloyd George, has at times ekicroached upon the prerogatives of the league, und A’iscount Grey and Mr. Asquith have voiced recently their approval of Poincare’s purpose to abandon the council. The people of ail countries are wide awake Unlay, and public opinion never was mork alert in its interest in governmental questions. There is no disposition shown to follow leaders blindly and Poincare, the critic of Clemenceau ‘and Briand. finds himself In quite a different position from Poincare the responsible of n great government. This quickening of public opinion with respect to iioth domestic and foreign affairs Is making itself felt in govern-' mental circle# throughout the world, and in consequence statesmen In power are alive and eager lo meet the demands made upon them. But the people should not demand class legislation or seek special national advantage. What France and Great Britain need every country needs j and that is government honestly and economically administered at home and n foreign policy free from injustice and intolerance.—Copyright, 1992, by Public Ledger Company.
