PETITION FILED FOR 110,1,1 POWER MERGER Acquisition of Three Utilities Affecting Southern Part of State Asked. The Interstate Public Service Company today filed petitions with the public service commission for authority to acquire the property of the Knox and Sullivan County Light and Power Company through purchase of all its'stock and securities, and for the acquisition of the In diana Power Company's common stock. It was announced at the same time that the Middle West Utilities Company, a holding company. which holds common stock of the Interstate, will acquire the common stock of the Consumers Power Company, effect a reorganization, and that the Interstate will afterward acquire the Consumers from the Middle West. Acquisition of the three utilities involves property worth in excess of $10,000,000. The petitioners wish to acquire the Knox and Sullivan County property through issuing $95,000 of its own prior lien stock in exchange. Southern Towns Affected The common stock of the Indiana Power Company would be acquired through issuance of $1,200,000 in exchange therefor. The Indiana Power Company operates plants and sells power and light in Vincennes. Bloomfield, Bicknel. Petersburg, Worthington. Etlwardsport. Elnora. Westphalia. Dugger. Switz City and many other adjacent towns. The Knox and Sullivan County company operates in Paxton. Carlisle, Merom and Oaktown and other towns in the vicinity. The common stock of the three companies is now held by the j Utilities Power and Light Corporation. a holding company, incorporated in Virginia, which also holds considerable New Jersey and other Eastern utility securities. Greater economy and efficiency of management and operation of the Indiana Power and the Knox and Sullivan Counties companies .s j given as the reason for the merger , of the companies. Northern Indiana Involved The commission today held a hear ing on a petition of the Calumet Gas and Electric Company for the purchase of $3,472,960 worth of utility property in northern Indiana, consisting of fourteen separate companies. They are located at Elkhart, Knox, North Judson. LaGrange, Valparaiso and adjacent towns. Vice President Charles E. Chase of the Crilumet Gas and Electric Company told Commissioner Artman the merger would result in several rate deacreases immediately and no increases. ABSENT BALLOT RULE EXPLAINED Clerk Believes Voter Must Act in Person. State election commissioners today informed County Clerk Albert H. Losche that absent voter ballots must be marked and placed in registered mail by the voter himself or else delivered in person to the clerk. Agents cannot deliver the voted ballot. If the voter is too old or sick to get out and mail his own ballot or carry’ it to the courthouse, he loses his vote, was the opinion of Losche, after reading the letter of instructions. Losche, secretary of the Marion County election board, asked advice recently, saying he felt abuse of the absent voters ballots will be made if agents were allowed to return the voted ballots.

Shoes and Musical Instruments Repaired in Little Shop Here .

DEZSO KISS AND DAUGHTER MARY.

“Shoe Repairing. All Kinds of Musical Instruments Repaired." Dezso Kiss looked up at the window of his little shop and home, at 1260 W. Washington St. “A funny business," he questioned “Yes.” Then he explained that repairing musical instruments and making virCins was a natural vocation for him. He learned it from, his father, in Rome, Italy, before he came to America twenty years ago. The shoe repairing part came later, when the musical business w r as slack. Although Kiss has made about 2,000 violins in his life, of non/ 1 is

FIXIT CHECKS UP BA TTING A VERA GE

Citizens’ Friend Finds Offici Neglected Some What has Mr. Fixit actually done? | Has he been of any help to Times readers in getting service from the city administration? Determined to find something of his work, Mr. Fixit ceased regular j operations Saturday noon and launched in a tour of the city mak- ; ing districts where complaints were j received. Files of the paper showed more than 300 letters had been sentj in - , , , i Checking up on Mr. Fixit s work ; was no small task. Many letters j were merely asking advice or information in matters before the board of works. But most of them sought to have some condition remedied, j such as oil for streets, streets graded, alleys repaired, streets cleaned or weeds cut. What He Found So here are some of the things discovered: Out on Boulevard PI., north of Maple Rd . Mr. Fixit found that the street had been oiled by the city following complaints. The score was then 1 to 0 in his favor. Going up Harding St. which is the new’ name for Schurman Ave., he found both street signs despite the fact that citizens had asked to have old ones removed. The city had promised to do it. The score was then tied between Mr. Fixit and the citizens. On lots adjoining the home of O. L. Foote, 5225 Central Ave., weeds had been cut following complaint of Foote. Remembering a complaint for oil on Broadway south of the canal, Mr. Fixit drove over. He found the street oiled. Ambling over on the-east side, he found that boulevard approaches in Brookside Park had been repaired by the park board, following complaints. In Spades Park, where east side dappers complained of odors from sewers, everything was found in good working order, causing Mr. Fixit to believe he was still held in high esteem by the flappers. Part of Biightwood Dusty Many citizens out in Brightwood were still choking in dust resulting from oil they didn’t get after letters to Mr. Fixit. Twenty-Second St., from Olney St. to Brightwood Ave., was an example of action Mr. Fixit failed to get. But funds for oil were exhausted long before the demand for oil faded out. City officials didn't have the money, and somebody had to be left out. Down on the south side, a stone wall at State and Cottage Aves. was still strewm over the sidewalk. This had been called to attention of city inspectors twice. It will be investigated again. . A bad hole in front of 1631 Prospect St. w T as found patched and holding up under heavy vehicle traffic. A Times reader had said he couldn’t sleep due to automobiles striking this hole and then attempting to get out. Sections of Cottage Ave. were found graded and in good repair after letters complaining of this street being full of chuckhoies. Incidentally, Mr. Fixit found many reasons why citizens have a right to kick on streets on the south side. But the city unimproved street department also complains. That department has a shortage of funds. Subway Cleaned The Merrill St. subwmy between Pennsylvania and Delaw’are Sts. was found clean after citizens had complained to The Times. John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, said this job cost the city $125. Dirt was packed to a depth of several feet.. Residents of Keystone Ave. south of the Pennsylvania tracks had little aid from the city in repairing their street. Stretches are bad, although the city says work W’as done here early in the spring.

he more proud than the one he made for Mary, his 11-year-old daughter, eldest of his eight children. Mary is proud of it, too, especially now* that she is taking lessons at the Metropolitan School of Music. This was made possible through Mrs. Esther Canter, nurse for the Public Health Nursing Association. Mrs. Canter had been caring for the Kiss children for some time. She learned that Mary played the violin. So she interested several women, who are paying for Wiry s lessons. The girl also studies dramatic art.

als Have Done Many and Things He Asked, Another clean-up had been made at the elevation at Warman and Oliver Aves. by the street cleaning deparunent in answer to Trines leaders. Lights under the Virginia Ave. elevation were found to be in working order after complaints to this column. Cedar St. and McCarty St. still compete as the name of a street. Although officially designated ns McCarty St., C'e<str St. signs are *:ill present. The City has promised to remove them. In computing the final average, and looking over th files, Mr. Fixit found that some action had followed 75 per cent of the letters received. In some cases the city was unable to help citizens, and in a few it appears that complaints have been ignored The check-up revealed where renewed efforts tu*fe needed to help Times readers. And Mr. Fixit promises to do that today. Campaign DAY BY DAY Political interest today centered | about the expected reply of John W. Davis to the open letter sent him by I Harry M. Daugherty in which the i former attorney general quoted ! from an alleged statement by Gas- ' ton B. Means, repudiating much of the evidence given before the senatorial oil lease investigating committee and ascribing such evidence to the instigation of Wheeler.

The Democratic candidate returned to New York Sunday from his Western tour and will confer with William G. McAdoo upon the latter’s arrival from Europe today. Davis expressed satisfaction when told that Governor Smith of New York probably will seek re-election. President Coolidge’s speech before the Holy Name convention Sunday yvas'nlmost entirely non-political. He refrained from mentioning the KuKlux Klan byname, but, in speaking of the need for discipline and reverence, acclaimed the principle of religious liberty. Senator La Follette, speaking to the Steuben Society of America In New York Sunday, likewise omitted politics, pleading for international understanding. In Washington his managers attacked the proposed Coolklge farm relief commission, declaring it would merely “lead the farmers into a blind alley.” HaughvQle Wants Pavements Haughvilie Civic League is interested in promoting the pavement of \V. Tenth St. and location of anew playground at St. Clair St. and Arnolds Ave. Discussion will he held at next meetin, Oct. 3. Ketcham and Tenth Sts. is favored by the club rather than the .other site, according to Mrs. O. D. Edwards, secretary, because it is farther north. Gas Overcomes Three Mrs. John Davidson, 1725 Ingrma St., is recovering" today from the erfects of gas inhaled Sunday when a connection in her home broke. Police were told Mrs. Davidson was overcome when she went to the bathroom. Two roomers were also overcome when they went to Mrs. Davidson’s assistance.

Carlos Hammond, proprietor, protested he had warned guests not to bring liquor with them. Snid f, r said. Harry TUtewiler, undertaker, who rented the land to Hammond for the park, said he had warned Hammond liquor is “absolutely taboo.” Hammond told the officers he had put much money in the venture, and it would break him to he "closed out.” He said he had been fighting the liquor conditions, and pointed to a large sign at the entrnneet to that effect. Sale of liquor blame was not placed on Hammond by Snider. Watch AH Hips “If the gardens are not closed, T intend to place ten deputies there to arrest everyone found with any liquor on him, regradless of who he is or what his or her papa does,” said Snider today: Elaborate plans have been made to make a pleasure resort far decent people, Tutewiler said.

The tax board insisted, according to John J. Brown, chairman, that the board has no right to fix a levy for anything except moneys specifi cally appropriated by Legislature. The State general fund is now $3,740.000 in debt. Bracken pointed out, because the tax board has In the past year or two refused to appropriate even enough money to take care of the legislative appropriations. He contended that it therefore was the duty of the board to make a levy sufficient to pay the del t, inasmuch as deficiencies in the levy in the past was the cause of such general fund deficit. The board took up its business again, at 2 p. m. with little likelihood of reaching an agreement on the levy today. One year ago Bracken told the tax board that the levy was too low and registered formal protest against it. declaring that the State would be $3,646,000 in debt at this time this year. The board disregarded the protest. Bracken's figures fell short of the actual indebtedness by $96,000.

If the dissemination of information along these lines ultimately brings about this fair and honest ; protection, the league will have justified its existence.” A Fair Tariff League, headed by* H. E. Miles of Racine, Wis., was or--1 ganized for the dissemination of information on tariff making and how the various schedules affect the public. Aims of the organization as set out by Miles are to bring about “a just tariff, adequately, and not excessively, protecting American industry and labor, lowering the cost of living, considering our changed posi- : tion in world affairs.” ELMER HAS EVIDENCE Tom Trousers and Bruised Face May Cause Arrest.
