‘GRAF’ CHARGE IS , HURLED AT PHONE UTILITY BY SHAMK Appeal Is Made for Support of City’s Fight for Rate Cut, Charging that the telephone company was a “regular graft” and predicting the public would not let them ["get away with anything” Mayor Shank assailed the Indiana Bell Company and the A. T. & T. Company before a crowd of nearly 400 at Sanders and Shelby St. Tuesday night. Shouts of approval greeted his remarks. “The Indiana Bell Company borrows money from its owners at 7 per cent and they want people to pay for transactions like that by increasing rates. Why, the local telephone system is a regular graft.” The mayor said he thought the public service commission would give the public a square deal since resignation of two members of that body. He mentioned the fight already undertaken by the twelve cities of the State affected, and urged support in any furthr action taken. Tells of City's bight The mayor spoke highly of the city’s fight against increase water rates in [lndianapolis and said every effort had been made to maintain the present schedules. Mayor Shank opened his remarks by taking a cigar from his mouth, pouring some water on the burning end and then thrusting it in his pocket. He devoted most of his time toward the accomplishment of his administration. particularly as they affected the South Side Pointing to the city bams, he said they had been kept cleaner than some houes. He promised the paving of Shelby St., if the council would appropriate the money. Appeals for Present Budget Pleasant Run Blvd. will be extended, the mayor promised, and said plans were under way for a foundation at Fountain Square at no cost to property owners. Money will was given the city by Phoebe Hill in her win for its erection. A plea that citizens a peal to councilmen to save the present levies of the city budget was sounded by the mayor. “We have that cut that budget to the bone. The administration departments will be crippled if it is reduced any more," warned the mayor. “Some departments will be won’t be able to operate efficienty as it is.” Parks, City Hall “Needed” Recreation and park work will be hampered if the proposed 1.5 cents is taken off, he said. Charles Bookwalter, ex-mayor and now president of the park board, [urged public support of the policies of the Shank administration. He assailed persons who object to spending money in city project^. “The same people who are criticising Mayor Shank today opposed the erection of anew city hall, and opposed Tom Taggart when, as mayor, he laid the foundation for our park system. “No one would wish the city to be without the city hall or not have the present park system,” he said.
300 FROM PRISON MOVEDBY STATE Train Transferred Here With Reformatory Inmates, The. most successful transfer of j prisoners in the history of the State, | officials said today, was accomplished j when 300 inmates in the State reform- : atcry at Jeffersonville were conveyed to the State prison at Michigan City, I preparatory to vacating the south- j State institution. The prisoners were transpoited on | a special train over the Pennsylvania j lines to Indianapolis and on the Mo-1 r.on tracks from Indianapolis to Michikgan City. J Not a single attempt to escape was j made by the men, officials said. Removal of practically all of the j Jeffersonville prisoners will be accom- j plished by Sept. 15, which will en- j able the State to receive a $50,000 bonus from Colgate & Cos., purchasers of the old institution. About 125 of the men will be kept at Jeffersonville to raze old buildings. Although labor shortage has caused j a slight cessation in construction of j the new reformatory at Pendleton, j the transfer will be accomplished by | Sept. 15, it was predicted.

Relief Worker Relates Story of Starving East
To have been present at the saving of civilization In Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other destitute countries seems not to have been too startling an experience for Miss Marie Cecile Chomel, 74 Blacherne Apartments, who has been with the American relief administration under Herbert Hoover since 1919. She recoounted facts of horrifying destitution in the same cool manner in which she recounted a Christmas she spent Jast year with her people in France 150 miles from Parts. It would seem, indeed, that people had read enough of destitute Europe,” she said, “but the facts do not seem to come homo with sufficient force. Americans can feel that their country has saved a world and has done It only as America with Herbert Hoover, chief engineer could have done it—gloriously. The work of the American Relief Administration was not a philanthropic undertaking, but a tremendous engineering project with some of the greatest engineers in America working on it. America doesn't realize what she has /done. People Cooking Grass “When we got over there,” she said, “we saw people cooking grass—grass, and there wasn’t much to be used even for cooking purposes—because it was the only thing they had to eat. And out came pictures of the women sitting on little three-legged stools beside a tiny fire of twigs and brush under a little kettle boiling weeds and grass for their only meal. "The feeding of the lntelligensia, as they were called, was perhaps the most heart breaking," she said. “There were men and women who were professors, teachers and authors without food and shelter existing from day to day. Long lines of them,” Miss Chor-

nel said, “filed up the little American kitchens every day. Food—fifty thousand tons of it every day—was shipped into the base, Vienna, for the starving babies and children up to 16 years of age. Children Are Saved “I think we saved the children,” said this woman, who seemed at times to have left the room entirely and to have gone with her memories back to those scenes. “There were a million and a half persons, underfed, weak, underdeveloped. Children of 2 years of age were not able to walk because their little legs were not strong enough to hold them —their bones were soft from lack of nourishment. The head of the greatest child hospital in the world, Dr. Pierkey of Vienna, formulated anew system of r utrition and gave life back to those thousands and thousands of dying babies." They fed the children thick cocoa anrl rice and bread, but not in the same meal. And only one meaj a day—or it would never have lasted. Miss Chomel is to speak before the Advertising Club next week. She has been writing since she returned to the city a month ago. Check Game Again C. W. Cooperider, 424 Massachusetts Ave., told detectives that a man bought a bill of goods amounting to $167.50 for which he paid by check. The goods were delivered to a College Ave. address, but when the check was discovered to be worthless the man and furniture were gone from the house.

My Most Interesting Case The Times has asked Indianapolis lawyers to tell about the most unusual affairs they have been involved in. Here is No. 2: ISIDOR WULFSON
After two years or more or less married bliss with his second wife, a client died, leaving the buik of his property to his widow. Immediately his family by a former marriage, consisting of four or five grown children and several sons and daughters-in-law, nine In all, began a lawsuit In Probate Court to get the property. My partner and I rushed the widow to the courthouse and had her qualify as administratrix of the estate. She petitioned the court to be permitted to sell some of the property for funeral expenses. The nine immediately filed a cross-complaint, charging that the father had left about $2,500 worth of jewelry which should be used, they said. They knew ha had left some jeuewrly, but we thought they didn’t know how much, as they had not visited the home since the second marriage. Anyhow, one after the other, all nine took the stand and told of visiting the father on his death bed, snd how he told them about the jewelry. Each described it, piece by piece, five diamond rings, a gold watch, their mother's chain, and so on. It looked like our client would have to account for a lot of property that never existed. We had no, rebuttal. I made a list of the articles as they were described. Then I went to a local jeweler. He took the list and fixed me a box containing the exact list. The next day I called the nine back to the stand. Did they recognize this box? You bet they did. That was father’s Jewel box.
Were these pieces of jewelry his? Yes, they were what he told about on his death bed.' The rest was easy. In the presence of a court official we opened the late husband’s strong box and produced the real jewelry, a couple of rings and a chain. The nine were sure that were not father’s jewelry, they testified. Then the jeweler testified about the fake list and the case was won.
