Water Valuation Favored by Minority Totals Only $12,000,000, Placing a valuation of $12,000,000 on “used and useful" property of the Indianapolis Water Company, as of Dec. 31, 1923, Samuel R. Artman and Frank Wampler, members of the public service commission, today announced their dissenting order in the local water case. This valuation allows for the following items: Structural overhead, $760,146; going value, $300,000; working cash capital, $75,000. The valuation on the order which prevailed was $15,260,400. This order was signed by John W. McCardle, chairman of the commission; Oscar Ratts, vice chairman, and Maurice Douglas. “In fixing the value of $12,000,000 we have exceeded our conservative judgment by $1,000,000 as to the real value of the petitioners' used and useful property in the hope that we might thereby be able to reach an agreement and because on that valuation a substantial reduction in rates can be made,” the dissenting order read. No Rate Schedule The defeated order contains no rate schedule. One could be determined from the findings in the order. Artman said. t “We seriously protest against that part of the order (the rate increase order which was passed) which establishes the rate schedule, because it was never submitted to or considered by the commission as a whole," the order read. “Only Isolated items of it were ever mentioned in conference, and then In a very casual manner." These recommendations were contained in the dissenting order: Denial of the petition to Increase rates. Requirement of the city to pay for all the water it uses. Placing of schools on regular meter rate. Reduction of rates for domestic consumers sufficient to absorb an annual net surplus of $85,000. That the order should contain a rate schedule written In such plain English that the consumers may read and understand it without the aid of an interpreter. Denunciation of the public service commissioners who granted the increased rates were voiced in resolutions adopted Friday night at a (Continued on Page 11)

CONGRESS WILL • CONVENEMONDAY IN 68THJESSI0N Body Faces Trouble From Start as Presidential Year Looms, By LAWRENCE MARTIN L'nited Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—The SixtyEighth Congress will meet Monday at noon. It is a Congress that faces trouble right from the start. There are a number of reasons for this. They include: 1. It is a “presidential year” Congress. The session will not really get down to business until after the New Year. Politics will be In the air every minute. . 2. It is controlled —potentially at least —by anew group of progressives, headed by La Follette, who have it In their power to make infinite difficulty for both the major party groups, particularly for the Administration Republicans. 3. It has more work to do—as is usual with Congress—than it can do between now and next June, when the political conventions will call a halt on legislative activities. The clans were gathering today, with many new faces seen in the historic halls of the Capitol. The last congressional election was an upset In more than one way. “Uncle Joe” Cannon Is gone—-gone to watch in philosophic calm while the rest of "the boys" get all excited over what to "Uncle Joe” is just another Congress.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, DEC. 1, 1923

Taps for Teddy NEIGHBORHOOD DESOLATE AS BELOVED SHEPHERD DOG IS “PUT TO SLEEP” AT CITY POUND, Cliildren Arrange Funeral for Homeless Pet Given Them by Teacher.

EDDY was “put to Bleep" today at the city dog pound in u- Pendleton pike. His friends, in the neighborhood of Villa and Woodlawn Aves., are desolate. Teddy, a 20-year-old shepherd dog, had lived with them about fifteen years. He belonged to a school teacher who gave him to the children of the neighborhood when she moved away from Indianapolis. They loved him and cared for him. He went from neighbor to neighbor, homeless, but well-cared-for. But Teddy was old, almost blind and paralyzed. When a man in the neighborhood called the Humane Society today, John Pitts, driver of the city dog pound truck, came to get him. Teddy's little boy friends didn't want to let him go, but none of them would accept the reresponsibility of taking him home. So Teddy went to the pound. “I didn't like to put him to sleep, but he was helpless and he's happier now." Dr. Elizabeth Conger, superintendent of the pound, explained after Teddy was dead. Four years ago. Dr. Conger, as head of the Humane Society, paid Teddy's city license fee and State taxes, so he could stay with his friends. At thnt time, it was agreed that Teddy should remain with the people who loved him, although he had no specific owner. He had been exempt from city fees since. Teddy is dead, but he will not be forgotten. At the suggestion of Dr. Conger, and under leadership of Mrs. Etta Jacoby, 931 Villa Ave.. the little children who cried when ' Teddy was taken away were arranging today to give him a funeral in the dog pound’s cemetery, and to place a monument over his grave.

SENATOR RALSTON VERYHOMESICK Hard to Resign Self to Life in Washington. Bu Times .Special WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana Is homesick, even though he does not admit it. Ralston, always a home-loving man, is existing at a little hotel far out of the bright light district. So far, he is almost an exile and not a happy one. It is not difficult to see his thoughts are of his wife and family and home in Indiana. Whether the Senator will accustom himself to Washington life, settle down and make himself happy is a question. Looking forward to six years of an existence, which with its social tinsel must always be artificial to him, will add to his sadness unless he resigns himself to the Job before him. But he’s never been up against anything just like this, he never wanted to be, and its a little difficult for an "old dog to learn new tricks.”

Now It’s His Santa Claus arrived early for Melvin Jordan, 2858 Brightwood Ave. And he left a gift too large for any Christmas stocking—a horse. Melvin found the horse. As he was riding out Pendleton pike on it today, with two boy companions, they were stopped by Dr. D. A. Lamar, en route to the city dog pound. Dr. Lamar asked about the horse and told the boys to take It to the pound. Soon a wide-eyed Melvin was explaining to Dr. Elizabeth Conger, superintendent at the pound, where he got the horse and how he is caring for him. Dr. Conger explained that the horse was taken to the pound a couple of weeks ago, after being foqnd in Royal Ave. He was placed in a pasture and disappeared the next night. Then she told Melvin he might keep the hopse, and instructed him to report to the pound every Saturdlay. '

He will be in constant telephone communication with men who are working on the case. Two policemen were assigned to the funeral of Mrs. Whelehel at the home at 1:30 p. m. Francis Hager, father | of the dead girl, asked for the policemen to handle the crowd which gathered around the house. Frank Goldberg, street newspaper salesman, whose address was given as 726 N. East St., told detectives he believed he was the last person to dance at the Lyric Theater ballroom with Mrs. W r helchel Tuesday night before she was murdered. Goldberg would not tell what he told the detectives and the officers would not make public his statement. Goldberg volunteered his information to detectives. “Mrs. Whelehel never went home or danced with any young men whom she did not know' well,” said Goldberg. “She most generally danced with girl friends.” He admitted that he knew Mrs. Whelehel well.

Governor Declares He Will Continue at Helm of State Until Term Expires Rumored G. 0. P. Would Ask Resignation. INDICTMENTS ACCUSE HIM OF FORGERY AND LARCENY $25,000 Bond Expected to Be Raised Soon —Federal Bankruptcy Hearing Will Be Resumed Next Monday, “I will continue to be Governor until uy term expires, unless I die.” This was Governor McCray’s answei today to suggestions of demand for his resignation following his indictment by the Marion county grand jury on charges of forgery, embezzlement, larceny, issuing fraudulent checks, making false financial statements for the purpose of obtaining credit, and false pretense.

McCray has not been arrested and may not be arrested until Monday. Sheriff George Snider has a capias calling for his arrest, but he has been instructed by Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court not to serve It until Monday. James W. Noel, attorney for the Governor, however, was considering making arrangements for McCray to give $25,000 bond provided In the case, late this afternoon. There was some question as to whether McCray would be compelled to appear in person. “The court ordered me to arrest Governor McCray Monday, “Snider said. “I shall obey the order. Os course if the Governor gives himself up, I can not refuse him." Noel and George Barnard, another of McCray’s attorneys, expected to discuss the indictments this afternoon. It was said Governor McCray mght attend the conference. The matter of giving bond was expected to be discussed. A number of persons were expected to sign the bond. The eight indictments, some of the longest ever returned in Marion County, Friday, cover nearly every revelation of alleged P regularities made since his financial crash exactly three months ago. Charges Widespread

They include his dealings with the State board of agriculture, in which he obtained $155,000 of public money; they include the use of SIO,OOO of : State money, which McCrrfy contends |he used by mistake; they include charges of forging the names of numerous farm managers, business associates and others to notes; they include charges of issuing fraudulent checks, and charges of making false i financial statements in order to obtain credit. McCray is eharged with embezzling the entire $155,000 from the board of agriculture. This is the transaction which has been disputed ever since it was revealed McCray used agriculture board money. Brown’s Story Different I. New? Brown, secretary-treasurer of the board, said the money was supposed to have been deposited in the Discount and Deposit State Bank of Kentland, of w'hioh McCray manager. In the bankruptcy hearing Brown testified $50,000 of the money was to be deposited in the bank and the remainder was in the form of loans. He said McCray gave no security for the $50,000 when he obtained it, but later gave security. In addition to charges of embezzling the $155,000 from the board of agriculture, McCray is charged with embezling the $50,000, which Brown says was supposed to be deposited in the tank, from the bank. Thus $50,000 of the money the Governor is charged with embezzling is overlapping. In other words, he is charged with embezzling this amount from the board of agriculture and the bank. Grand Larceny Charge In addition to charges of embezzling the board of agriculture funds, McCray is charged with stealing a check for SIO,OOO on State funds and also with embezzlement of the SIO,OOO. The check was written by Ora J. Davies, State treasurer, who was among witnesses who appeared before the grand jury. McCray explained this transaction in the bankruptcy hearing by declaring it was a mistake. He explained the check was given him Feb. 14, 1923, while he was busy with legislative matters, and that it was to be deposited in the Discount and Deposit Bank t He said he sent the check to a Chicago Bank with which the Kentland Bank did business. He said he wrote a letter instructing the Chicago Bank to credit the money to the State. He said the money was credited to his own account by mistake and that he checked it out, not knowing It was State money. False Statement Named The charge ofsmaking a false statement for the purpose of obtaining credit referred to the statement issued by the Governor as of Jan. 1, 1923. The Governor admitted on the witness stand that the statement “showed only equities” and was not complete. J. J. Kiser, vice president of the Meyer-Kiser Bank, which sold a great many McCray securities, testified in the bankruptcy hearing that this statement was furnished his bank. Kiser was a witness before the grand jury. The jury charged McCray obtained credit by use of the statement, not only from the MeyerKiser Bank, but from a number of other banks. The charge of issuing fraudulent checks covers three checks, totaling $6,663.33, which the jury, charged McCray wrote on the Discount and Deposit Bank when he had no funds in the bank. Two indictments charging forgery, passing forged notes and obtaining credit by the use of forged notes, < cover a large bulk of the One ihdictment lists notes aad the other forty-nine.

Forecast FAIR tonight. Sunday mostly cloudy, becoming unsettled and colder by afternoon in this locality.

TWO CENTS

notes were signed with various names, including those of business associates, farm managers, a former statehouse employe and many others. McCray already has admitted signing most of these notes. He declared that he signed them in most cases because banks required two signatures on notes, the two signatures being the one w T hich he signed to the face of the note and the indorsement of his own name. All Charges Felonies All the charges on which McCray was Indicted are felonies and upon conviction carry with them prison sentences. The maximum penalties upon conviction for these, charges would total nearly fifty years. The hearing upon the petitions of three Ft. Wayne (Ind.) banks to have McCiay declared bankrupt will be resumed before Federal Referee Harry C. Sheridan Monday. ONLY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ATTEND VICTIM’S FUNERAL

United Press Staff Correspondent. BERLIN, Dec. I.—-All agree Dr. Wilhelm Marx, new chancellor of Germany, is due for a short life and certainly not a merry one. The make-up of the ministry is considered feeble from a political and strategic point of view. Chancellor Marx planned today to present his cabinet to the Reichstag Monday or Tuesday, and if the combination survives the initial test of parliament’s pleasure, it will be due to indulgence on the part of the Socialist group, which wields a considerable balance of power in the present internal situation.
