Robinson and members of the public service commission, an investigation was begun to determine cause of the death Tuesday night of one person and the injury of three others at the Maywood "death” crossing. Russell Helfenberger, 22, of Oamby, Ind., was killed. John W. McCardle, chairman of the commission, ordered David Mattehws .chief railroad inspector, to visit the scene of the fatal accident and later to confer with officials of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company, one of whose cars was derailed in the smash. Matthews was told to request the T. H., I. & E. to install safety lights as soon as possible and, in the men time, to require all interurban cars to approach the crossing at a “safe speed,” if not coming to a direct halt. Coroner Robinson was accompanied by Police Captain Fred Drinkutt and Sergts. Harry Smith and Jack O'Neal of the accident prevention bureau. Frank Singleton, a member of the public service commission, also was at the conference. Robinson and the police officers told the commission three persons had been killed at that crossing in recent months. They also urged safety provisions for Eagle Creek crossing, north of the Maywood crossing. Matthews was expected to report findings to the commission late today following conference with T. H., I. & E. officials. SEE LONG FIGHT OVER GAS PLANT (CotitPMied From Page 1) cases of resignation or death. The trustees select members of the board of directors. Newton Todd Company, brokers, a few years ago rejected proposal of a large eastern syndicate that the local firm should seek to obtain con- ♦ trol of the Citizens’ Gas Company because it was deemed "an impossible task,” Herbert Todd, a member of the firm, said today. Payne Silent Gavin L. Payne, president of G. L. Payne & Cos., today refused to reveal progress his company has made in acquiring the stock, asserting that the matter is confidential with his clients. "Directors of the Ciitzens Gas Company have issued a statement asking stockholders to withhold their shares before they knew the purpose of Eaton in seeking control,” Payne stated. "I do not believe Eaton wishes a majority of stock in the company to add 4t to a national chain.” "Widows and orphans lost their savings of years when the company's stock fell to $22. Now is their chance to recoup some of their losses and my advice to them is to sell.” Doubts Success John R. Welch, president of the Citizens Gas Company, expressed doubt whether Eaton could obtain a

Picture of Ralph Lee taken at Knoxville, Term.

Marion County jail is not safe enough for Ralph Lee, 26, jail breaker and alleged bandit-killer, in the opinion of Claude Worley, Criminal Court investigator. Worley today said, he would ask Governor Jackson to send Lee to the Indiana State prison for safe keeping when he is returned to this State from Knoxville, Tenn. Lee was captured at Knoxville Wednesday, after escaping jail at Franklin, Ind., March 15, where he was held for trial on the charge of murdering Abner Peek, Speedway Ave., grocer, in a hold-up last July. Lee previously escaped last January but was recaptured. The case was venued to Johnson County from Marion. Johnson County sheriff will return Lee to Indiana. Worley stated, however, that he would get the extradition papers from Governor Jackson for the sheriff. A Marion County deputy will also make the trip with the sheriff. Worley received pictures today from Knoxville and they were identified positively as those of Lee. majority of shares from present stockholders. He said directors were making no effort to buy stock to prevent its falling into the hands of Eaton. Directors fear company be relegated to a branch of a national organization, if Eaton interests are successful, Welch said. Answering charges that directors had withehld information about financial status of company, Welch said news of bad business would have been depressing to stockholders and for this reason it was not broadcast. On Upgrade "Now the company is on the upgrade,” he asserted. “With exceptionally low rates for gas in effect, the company is in better shape than at any time in Its history. "Eaton offer is not a simple investment. It is made to add our our company to a national organization.” ' Gas company officials said history would repeat itself if outside interests obtain control of the company. They cited the Indianapolis Water Company and Indiana Bell Telephone Company as examples of utilities which have inaugurated higher rates based on increased valuations they obtained when foreign interests had assumed the reins. Welch said he had no Information in regard to number of shareholders who had accepted Eaton's offer, but that he had met many stockholders during the last few days who said they would refuse to sell.

what wonderful results can be obtained from a truly reliable remedy. I was nervous, had a kind of gastric disturbance, indigestion and so* called kidney affection. I began to feel that I was losing my pep. After only a few bottles of Todd's Tonic my condition began improving. I feel batter, eat and sleep normally, and am beginning to regain my old pep. I never have that tired feeling any more. I feel every minute as if I am ready for action and much younger than I am. My thanks go out to the manufacturers of Todd’s Tonic for the great relief it has brought me.”—George J. Schick, No. 801 Engine House, In-

STEPHENSON ON TRIAL JUNE 2 (Continued From Page 1) prosecutor and defense attorneys what date would suit them for a trial. Both Remy and Inman said they would leave it to the judge. "As before indicated,” said Judge Collins, "May 25, which is one week from next Monday, is the earliest possible date I can find for this trial.” "That suits me.” said Inman. Remy, however, said that he feared that would interfere with retrial of John Thomas Shaw, on murder charges at Martinsville, Ind. This trial begins next Tuesday. Shaw is charged with the murder of Mrs. Helen Hager Whelchel, Nov. 27, 1923. The retrial waa venued from Marion County. Judge Collins then said that June 2 would be the next available date, and the trial was definitely set for that time, both the State and the defense attorneys agreeing. The defendans then were handcuffed together once more and taken to the jail. Delay Possible The fact that the trial Is set for June 2 does not necessarily mean thnt It will open on that date. The law permits the defendants the right of filing a motion for change of judge, or change of venue from the county. Either of these motions might be filed as late as the morning of the trial. In event a motion of this character should be filed the trial would be postponed. Where a change of judge Is asked the regular judge, in this case Judge

Collins, submits a list of three names. Each side strikes off one and the one remaining tries the case. Stephenson was arrested originally late in March on indict’ments charging kidnaping, attack and .malicious mahem. Klinck and Gentry, indicted with Stephenson on charges of conspiracy to commit a felony, were arrested a few days later. It was alleged ttye three kidnaped Miss Oberholtzer, March 15, attacked her and took her to Hammond, Ind., where she took a slow poison the following day. Miss Ober holtzer was taken home March 17, after being held prisoner in the garage at Stepuenson’s home, 5432 University Avfc over night, it was charged. The three men were released on bail after their arrest. On April 18, four days after Miss Oberholtzer's death, they were re-indicted on first degree murder charges. They have been in jail since April 20. Trial of case will develop a theory' of the State never before fought out in an Indiana murder case. The State admits frankly that Miss Oberholtzer died from poison, self-ad-ministered. But it will contend that mistreatment at the hands of the defendants caused her to take it, and that after she took It they not only refused to obtain medical assistance for her, but kept her a prisoner and denied her the right to obtain it for herself, thus making themselves liable to a murder charge.
