tween the beard and the State board oi accounts for more than a year and suits are now {tending in the State courts to determine points in dispute. After a number of long, carefully worded questions of a hypothetical character had been asked, Mr. Baker boiled them all down in a simple sentence: "The whole question then comes down to this." he said. “You don't want Snider & Rotz. You want to know If you can get rid of them without costing you anything." Finally after a long discussion all papers in the case were ordered sent to Mr. Baker for his opinion. The offer of Howard M. Gay, vice president of the Pettis Dry Goods Company. made through \V. 11. Aumaun. his representative. t> supply 6.000 young maple tree-, r as many more as are needed to the schools for planting at the Art.or day e-xercises Friday and to the school children for planting in parks or at their homes, was met with the closest end most critical scrutiny by members of the board. Not only was the gift horse looked in the month, but the poor animal was dissected. put tinder the microscope and examined until scarcely n vestige was left. Dr. Marie Haslep objected to the donation if the children were expected to go to the N'ew York store to get the trees. Auntann said that it had been the plan to have the children call at the warehouse for them, hut he believed the matter could be arranged. Then President Barry wanted to know how old the trees were, their height, etc. Aurnann said they were about three feet long, but he had no definite information as to the date of their birth. Adolph Etnhardt, a board member, thought the trees, if planted in the parks, might be trampled by the children, might be destroyed from one cause or another, a: 1 that so many things of a dire #n'. disastrous nature might happen to them that it was doubtful if the gift would be worth the planting. Bert S. Gadd, board member, spoke in favor of the acceptance of the gift and frankly said he did not think it fair In any way to question the motives of the donor, and that in his opinion purely civic pride and not a desire for advertising was the motive actuating Mr GrJ in offering the trees to the children. Finally a motion was adopted acepting the gift on condition that all trees be deli Vi red to tlc schools and G.n.rge TV. Rickes, superintendent of buildings and grounds, have the power to say what schools should h ive trees for planting and where they should he planted. Aurnann left saying he would report the decision of the board to Gay. He said he believed all conditions would be acceptable. Permission was granted the board of public safety to erect a flood light on the roof of tlie school ndministrat ion building at Meridian and Ohio streets for use of the traffic officer at that corner. Protests again?* conditions existing at School No. 12, Rader and Twenty Fifth streets, a negro school, and demands for anew building were voiced by a coni-

mittee composed of Dr. A. J. King. Mrs. Alien Strickland, president of the FarentTeacber Association of the school, and Mrs. XHlanda Tanner, vice president. The delegation pointed out that last week the annex had been condemned by the State board of health. Improper lighting conditions which resulted in injury to the eyes of the pupils, half-day session in the lower grades, had drainage and poor ventilation, were otaer matters complained of by the delegation. Barry made the same old talk be has made to every delegation appearing ginee he became president of the board, that school finances would have to be taken into consideration, that the hoard is familiar with conditions at the school, and that their case will be taken pp when a building program is formulated. He frankly said the talk was the same he had made to otbPr delegations, but asked the citizens of the neighborhood to have patience. Hr. K!Sg Bid that three times in ten years residents of the neighborhood had been to the board and each time had received promises. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick and we are getting sick," he answered. It was decided to erect two two-room portables at School No. 62, Wallace and East Tentl streets, which will make it possible to do away with half-time classes at these schools. Superintendent Itickes announced the following changes in personnel in his depan ment: Appointment of custodians, W. K Bergman. Central Library; Charles ,T.

BAKHMETEFF AMBASSADOR FROM RUSSIA Agent of Czarist Regime Continues Official Immunity. LETTER OF SECY. HUGHES

WASHINGTON, April 18.—The United States Government recognizes Boris Rnkhmeteff as Russian ambassador and "an ambassador is not required to respond to process." i Secretary of State Hughes today sent this definite fiotlce directly to the Senate, thereby finally crushing the attempt of the Senate Labor Committee to subpoena Bakhmeteff in the hearings over alleged brutalities of General Semenoff, Cossack chief. It has been supposed the letter would go to Chairman Borah; instead tt was addressed to Vice President Coolldge, as head of the Senate. FACES AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN JAIL NEW YORK, April 18.—General i Gregory Semenoff, "ataman of the Cos- ! sacks," faces at least two more weeks in a New Y'ork, Jail as a result of the refusal of Supreme Court Justice Cobalan today to over-rule the order for hts arrest, rendered last week by Justice Delehanty. CITY FIGHTS PRICE RAISE IN GAS CASE (Continued From Page One.) the commission in the case because the law of 1907 limiting the rate for gas In Indianapolis to 60 cents. The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of State ex rel., Lewis vs T. H. I. & E. Traction Company in which the court held the law could not govern, was cited. In overruling the motion, the Commissioner Van Awken said that Jurisdiction had been decided previously. In inking his statement Maholin concluded by Buying, "The law Is Mill on the books. The same body that passed the law creating the public service commission passed law governing gas rates for cities of certain size. When their is a merger the rates go up. The public has stood just about all It can stand. The time is not far distant if a public utility can come before the commission and get Increases asked, the commission Itself will be a thing of the past." CLl'B WOMEN ATTEND HEARING. A committee representing the original South Side Women's Club eonslstlng <*f Mrs. Charles Werbe. Mrs. Martin Reiffel, Mrs Harry Williams. Mrs. William Keisener, Mrs Asa Ashcraft, attended the opening session of the hearing. Mr. Groninger, taking the facts as partly set forth by the petition of the gas company has sl,lso,'M> In coke which he said was worth on the house of the company's figure*. $700,000. He set out other assets of the company as follows: Coke, salable products and stock $1 412 389 Receivable accounts 452.912 Cash 233,788 General stores 369,249 Coal stock 1 Manufaeturltig supplies 47,2b0 The stO'-k mentioned Included, Mr Groninger said, liOu.ono of stock In the Milburn By-Products Company. The company desires to hold the assets, Mr. Groulnger charged, and force gas consumers to make up the deficit. He declared with the points he had made la view, no emergency exists for an increase in the 90 cent rate and on the contrary. If coke had been sold a lesser rate would have been profitable. In making his statement Mr. Hornbrook said the time of the hearing one year ago, it was conceded that unless a change of business for the better came late In 1921. that the rate of 90 cents would not be sufficient. The revival in business a affecting the petitioner, had not come, Mr. Hornbrook declared. In the ten-month period of operating tinder the 90 cent rate the total Income was $46-3.000 including $300,000 in dividends from the Milburn By-Products Company which dividends, he said, were accumulative over a thro* year period of which $51,000 might be considered for the ten month period, he said. This left $229,000 for depreciation and return on capital, of which depredation figured $125,000, Mr Hornrook cited figures to show. The tentative value fixed one year ago, be said, was $12,000,000 and now is about SBOO,OOO more. The earnings. It was shown, were short about $600,000 of meet -i Ing fixed charges. BETTER HI Si NESS IS NOTICED. In the month of March, this year, s

! considerable element of improvement in ; business of the company was noted, he ; said, over any In the pdecedlng sixteen I months. If the March business were to I be used as basis for future calculation, he said, an earning of 4 per cent coubl not be found. In concluding his statement for gas company, Mr. ornbrook said: "If the company is compelled to operate at 90 cents It will amount to conflseat Ion." Karl Carter, head of the engineering department of the public service commisi slon, whose survey and appraisal of the gas company was used as basis for the | hearing of May, 1921, was the first wit ness at the bearing. The survey and figures used were of Jan. 1, 1921. ! On direct examination by counsel for i the gas company he said that on a basis of reproductive cost a summary of val ties, Including no stock and no property outside Indianapolis showed a total of $11,968,810. The property owner was listed at $7,460,445 and leased at $4,502,766. Less depreciation, the reproductive value was said to be $10,387,847. This cost was said to be not more than 10 per cent more than the original cost. If a tenyear unit had been applied, the cost of reproduction, taking the Citizens Gas Company and the Indianapolis Gas Company into consideration, would have figured $15,705,357, the witness testified. The depreciation rate of 1 and lbj per cent a year was held by the witness to be a reasonable charge. Objections filed by the city were on the following grounds: The proposed schedule of rates is unreasonable and unjust. The petition fails to show the existence of an emergency which would injure the interests of the company if the increase is not granted. The granting of the petition will Impose an unjust burden on the people. An increase in rates means a decrease in consumption and consequently a loss. The petitioner has failed to sell its coke. Prices of Inbor and material been reduced. The affairs of the company have been imprudently managed. The objections were filed by Taylor E. Groninger, corporation counsel.

NOSE PRINT IS COW BERTILLON Identification Plan Will Prevent Cattle Frauds. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., April 18.— Minnesota has officially adopted a Bartillon system for identification of fine dairy cattle. The system will save pure bred cattle men millions', It is a positive preventative of fraud and misrepresentation. Identification Is ■ made by taking “nose prints." William E. Peterson, supertntendant of official tesling of dairy cattle iu Minnesota worked out the system. More than 1,000 pure bred dairy cattle! In the State have been “printed' and are identified with their test records In the State's files. "In the past some breeders have prae- ; tleed fraud by substituting similar an! ; mals in testing so they could show a big ! record," said Peterson. This has been made impossible by the nose-print system. Noses of the 1.000 or more printed are unlike. Advantages of this system is ns great as the system for criminal Identification. “No experiments have been conducted as yet, but It Is Just as certain that hogs j and sheep and even dogs can be positively j identified by their nose prints."
