COMPETITION IS NOT FAIR, SAYS COACH COMPANY I Street Railway Company Is Attacked by Bowman in Pamphlet. “Unfair,” and “destructive" methods of competition were laid to the Indianapolis Street Kailway Company, in a “Plain Statement of Facts,” distributed today by A. Smith Bowman, president, Peoples Motor Coach Company. The printed statement attacks the effort of the street car firm to operate bus lines on Central Ave. and Riverside rojates. Indifference Charged The street car firm is charged with “indifference” to the requirements of patrons. Patrons of the lines were called upon to organize and fight the street car company's petition before the Public Service Commission for the right to operate on the two routes. The statement says in part: “The Street Railway Company has not voluntarily established a single bus line in new territory, but they have hampered us in every possible manner in our pioneer work, and now their requests are for lines competing with our established routes, thus showing bad faith and questionable methods of business, lince they made no effort to secure (the rights when the territories were Inserved, why should they seek now to serve them when there is in operation adequate and satisfactory transportation? Unfairness Alleged. “With all the clamor in Indianapolis for additional transportation, the fact remains and the records show that they have not asked for a single line that is not served and cov-; ered by our service. “The Public Service Commission has the petition of the Railway Company up for hearing. It should be ruled against for your benefit and in fairness to us.”

Cook, Benton i County temperance crusader today | seemed destined for a place with I lowa’s unsolved crimes. After hearing the testimony of i Clifford Cook, husband of the slain VV. C. T. U., president and that of j George Buchanan, Waterloo sales- ! man, Coroner C. L. Modlin adjourned the inquest indefinitely for lack of evidence. Further investigation of remote clews will be conducted, but authorities intimated that solution seemed impossible. Buchanan corroborated Cook’s previous testimony. He said he was at Grundy Center, forty miles from Vinton, on the night of the murder and that Cook was registered at a Grundy Center Hotel that night. He said he knew Cook’s automobile was parked in front of the hotel between the hours of eight and eleven o'clock and that so far as he knew it remained there the balance of the night.
