WALSH SCORES BORAH’S COURT RESERVATIONS Proposals Branded Useless by Senate Proponent of Tribunal Plan. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Three proposed Borah reservations to American participation In the world court were denounced today as useless by Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, a leader of court proponents in the Senate. Walsh contended that the reservations were advanced not for the purpose of improving the Swanson resolution embodying the Harding-Hughes-Coolidge proposal, but merely to promote argument against the court. When the Senate convenes Monday to resume the conflict between the Borah irreconcilables and supporters of the Coolidge plan, Walsh will deliver a speech setting forth objections to the Borah amendment and urging all proponents of the court to vote against them. ‘No Excuse” The first reservation would specify that the court shall perform no duties not imposed upon it at present by statute and would permit no amendment to the statute except by unanimous jonsent of all nations in the court. Walsh argued that no excuse existed for such a reservation and that it would not enforce the intended purpose of preventing the League from referring questions to the court because the statute already empowers the League to refer matters under Artcle 37. ► The second reservation would prevent the court from exercising force or economic sanction to enforce its decision. “Reservation Needless” Walsh contended that this is virtually a demand that the League of Nations revise its covenant to fit American participation in a world court. The third reservation would set forth that the United States would be bound by nothing which is contrary to American traditions. Walsh says this reservation is needless because it is inconceivable that the court would attempt to revise American traditions. BOOST IN PHONE RATE ALLOWED But Greenfield Company Is Severely Criticised. After severely arraigning officials of the Greenfield Telephone Company, of which Max F. Hosea is operator, and charging that the company affairs are handled in a disorderly fashion, the public service commission today issued an order granting the telephone company a rate increase of ten to fifteen per cent, effective immediately. The increase, it was figured, will add about $3,100 to the ompany'; annual income, permitting an eight per cent return on a $120,000 investment. The commission ordered the company to set aside $4,000 a year for depreciation reserve. Commissioner Clyde H. Jones, in the order, pointed out that the company's books and records are kept at Attica, Ind. The commission charged that this practice is unsatisfactory and ordered its discontinuance. The books are not kept according to the commission's rules, and this must he corrected, the commission ordered.

FARE BOOST IS ALLOWEi Street Railway Notified by Commission. Indianapolis Street Railway Company officials were notified formally today by the public service commission that the company’s petition to increase its transfer charge from 1 to 2 cents has been granted, effective for 1926. Under the new order, street car and bus passengers will be required to pay 2 cents for transfers after midnight Dec. 31. The order was made effective one year, so the commission could check results of the increase. The present right of passeingers to retransfer once will be continued. Railway officials, at a recent hearing, showed additional revenues are needed. A report was being circulated Friday in financial circles that the Indianapolis Street Railway and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company are to be acquired by Samuel and Martin Insull, Chicago utility operators. Both the Insulls denied the rumor, as did Robert I. Todd, president of the two Indiana utilities, although all admitted such a transaction might be effected later.
