Titties WasMnaton Bureau, 1X22 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—President Coolldge’s proposed 10 per cent retroactive income tax reduction inay not send the average individual taxpayer up on the roof to shout. But there should be a little noise from the corporations. Under Of*- proposal, a married man with two dependents and $5,000 a year income would get back 78 cents. A corporation earning 55,000 a year would get back $37.50. Such a married man earning $4,000 a year would get nothing, but a corporation earning $4,000 Would get $25. Cents and Dollars Latest income statistics available indicate that while 4,871,750 individuals, under $3,000 a year, were getting back 42 cents each average, 8,630 'corporations would deceive from $1,250 to $62,500 back. And 162 corporations earning more than $5,000,000 a year would receive from $62,500 on up. These latest figures are baseS on 1924 incomes. The tax refunds would be on 1925 incomes. The figures are therefore only indicative. Corporation incomes are reported to have increased 15 to 20 per cent during 1925, case these estimates would be conservative. No Help for Consumer Tax paying corporations, accotfllhg to their 1924 incomes, would get back a total of $88,154,954. The refund would be pure profit. They hq,ve already marketed their products manufactured In 1925. There would be helther necessity nor possibility of their sharing the gift, in lower prices, with the consumer. W Os thq 131,254 corporations paying a 1924 tffx, 56,118, or 52 per cent, were in the so-called upper brackeYs, 'burning more than SIO,OOO a year. Os the 7,369,788 individuals paying a tax, 6,672,650, or 90 per cent, were in the lower brackets, earning less than $5,000' a year. The average refund to all individuals would be $9.55. The average refund to all corporations would be '$67J.

TWO CALIFORNIA LUMINARIES GET ELECTION FIE Johnson and McAdoo Add to Both State, National Powers. fit/ United Prenn SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.—Two figures have emerged out of the elections not only as ringmasters of their state organization, but with considerately enhanced power in national politics. One is two-fisted Hiram Johnson, has done a t decisive and sensa-Phonal4bome-bac)< tn the O. O. P. that makes him dominant at home and puts him in a much more commanding position in Washington. The bther is the suave and genteel Mr. McAdoo, of Santa Barbara,. whose Control of the Democratic party in ijL'alifornia was cinched by. the recent returns. Senator Johnson’s first victory wps at the August primaries when his legions swept to defeat the gld guard administration of Governor Friend Richardson and .nominated the Progressive, C. C. foung. *rhe Second was at the state convention, Whan the Johnson liberals wrote the Republican platform and organized the party without the aid of the Herbert Hoover-Harry Chandler regulars. The third victory was Young’s election at the finals with the biggest majority ever given a Californian. Not the least of Hiram’s boasts v fcould be that Young, for whom he stumped the state, ran ahead of Senator Sam Shortridge, whom Johnson Opposed, by more than 150,000 votes. Shortridge won* the nomination because of a split in the Progressives, at the primaries. McAdoo is now undisputed master pf the California Democratic organization- He stumped the state in behalf of John B. Elliott, candidateYor tTp.tted States Senator, and in oppoI sttion to the repeal of the State prophibitiony enforcement act. Elliott was beaten by Shortridge, but the Significant about this, so far As McAdoo Is concerned, is the fact that he piled up 100,000 more votes than did Justus Wardell, the wet Democratic candidate for governor. The enforcement act narrowly escaped repeal and McAdoo can also Claim to have been a factor in pre-

QUEERBILLSARE INTRODUCED AT COUNCIL'SESSION \ • But Embarrassing Traffic and Cemetery Ordinances Are Neglected. City councilmen Monday night neglected the embarrassihg traffic and cemtery ordinances, but pelted all types of citizens with weird and fantastic measures. No ordinance was adopted, but the proposed statutes introduced ranged from one providing for the sale of horses to an expression of solicitude concerning the health of window washers. Window Washers and painters and others “whose work and duty takes them onto the outer ledges of buildings over four stores in height” must be “constantly secured to such building by means of safety belts or similar devices," one ordinance declared. Taxi Measure / One measure would prevent charging of a fare greater than that’ shown on the meter of a taxioab, while another Would force the taxi owner to display his name o?* the side of the cab In letters not less, than two and one-half inches high. Annexation of Beech Grove and j authorization of filling stations atl Fall Creek Blvd, and Delaware St. j and at College Ave. and Forty-Sixth j St. were other ordinances. * WWlld Pay Bill*' - " Authorization of a loan of $260,000 j to pay judgments against the city, ’ financing unpaid bills bequeathed by the Shank administration was provided In another measure. The celebrated sign board ordinance to prevent signs from being located within 300 feet of a boulovard appeared with gusto. There now is a similar ordinance, but that fact apparently did not Worry Boyn-1 ton J. Moore, council president, sponsor of thd measure. “It’s all n bunch of horses," was Moore’s comment when the park board presented an ordinance to allow sale of eighteen horses, to re- j duce hill In winter months.

WOULD BILLS GO UP WITH MERGER?

“Will our light and bills be bigger if the Indmnapolis Light and Hent Company ami *the Merchants Heat and Light Company effect the proposed merger and become the Indianapolis and Power Company?” This is the question being asked by local merchants, manufacturers and householders. . the financial organization plans announced for the new company, earnings will have to be more than $1,000,060 more a year than were the combined earnings of tile two present companies In 1925 if the new concern is to pay bond interest and preferred stock dividend as scheduled and to pay a 0 per cent dividend on tile common stock, estimating the par value of the common stork at $lO, the minimum sidling price. In 1925 the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company declared a common stock dividend of 7 per the Merchants, 8. Hold Higher Rates Certain That such a tremendous increase in earnings will necessitate a raise in rates is tha contention of those opposing the uflbn entirely, contend ing that the fifty-five million dollar capitalization Is excessive.

of this matter “for months and that the people of Indar.apolis had a right to know abount the situation. “He characterized the setting of the merger hearing “Thursday before the public service commission as a “rush act.” Rucker said another reason for seeking a restraining order to delay the merger hearing was so that he might present facts to the Federal trade commission at Washington, the Federal Court at Chicago and to obtain bills of discovery from local and Chicago persons aware fit the situation. He said granting of the restraining order would “give the people of Indianapolis an opportunity to obtain full Justice on the matter.” The court then iisked if the com-

Such is not the case, say officials fostering the merger. They contend shat more than a quarter of a million a year will be saved in abolition of costly duplication and that increased efficiency, under >heTrmr company system, will reduce overhead so that no raise in rates wtti be needed. High Earning Necessary To pay 5 per cent dividend on thir-ty-two million dollars worth of gold first mortgage bonds; per cent on fourteen million dollars preferred stofik, and 16 per cent on 981,000 shares of common stock at $lO, means that the proposed new com,pany must earn a Love operating and other expenses $3709 8,600 annually. The combined not earnings of the present two • ompanies were $1,616,595.36 last year. This included the common stork dividend and the surplus. By adding to this figure the funded and "'floating debt Interest payments, which would include the interest on bonds, this sum la brought to $2,219,775.67. This deducted from the sffnilar figure ($3,098,600) for the proposed new company, means that on such an estimate alone the increased earnings of the new corppany must be $778,824.33 more than under the present two-company plan.

mission had granted any extension of time In the hearing. Gilliom explained he was representing the commission 'and Its members and that he “knew no more I about the matter than pe had gleaned from the newspapers.” He filed the answer In general denial and a motion for immediate trial. The court took thqpe under | advisement. | ‘‘Here Is an Institution In the GovI eminent and In the administrative j department of the State that is I charged with a plot that Is next to treason," Gilliom told the court. ‘‘The court is asked to stop this I body from functioning at all. because |of this plot. / 1 ask for immediate trial and am 'waiving all questions j of technical pleading.” * Gilliom said, that unless the charges were as serious as they are, j he would contest the authority of the court in the matter. He said he | did not believe such charges would be made unless :ht 'e was evidence to j support them. Jurisdiction Denied The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, Monday, through Its attorney, Frederick E. Matson, filed a motion before the service commis- j sion den. ring Jurisdiction there because of alleged irregularity in the financing of the merger and asking that the case be thrown out. Meanwhile, city council considering a resolution to employ experts to make a valuation of the electric plants with a view to purcha.9b by the city or defeat of tbq high-vahiatiori merger plot. Allegations in the of tlie Chamber of Commerce follow: The petitioners is not a public utility. a defined in Sec. 1 of the Shive-ly-Spencer utility commission act. The $65,000,000 securities prayed for in the petition “are not to be issued ‘for any purpose connected with or related to any part of the business of the petitioner,* ” as'provided by law. - , The commission has no power to authorize the securities issue for the purpose of purchasing the capital stock of the two companies. There is no showing as to the amqunt of capital stock of the companies to be consolidated, nor any offer to capitalize the petitioning corporation within the sum of par value of the capital stock of the consolidating corporations, as provided by law. The petitioner has not taken steps or proceedings required to lawfully accomplish the merger. . Tha petitioned can not In any event acquire more than the “used and useful property, plant or business," of such public utilities, and has not taken the acts and proceed ings required to accomplish such purchase as provided by law.

INTERRUPTED KISS TESTIMONY HEARD (Continued From Page when she first knew of them, she testified. Once in the presence of her hus- . band. Mrs. Mills spoke of Jier love I for Dr. Hall, said Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Mills said she planned to tell j Mills, a sexton in the church, “beI fore she went away with the rector." • Simpson drew from the witness | the belief that Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Mills were “not "Friendly.” Mrs. Ijee then said that her sister i had suspected Mrs. Minna Clark of "telling Mrs. Hall things,” that led to the unfriendliness. The State has attempted to prove that Mrs. Clark spied on the lovers and reported 'her observations to Mrs. Hall. Capt. Harry W. Walsh of the Hudson County police* was the next witness. 1 “Did you ever work on a case In 1 this county before?” asked Simpson. “Yes.” said Walsh. I “Did Senator Nase cooperate?” "After it was over.” * Senator Clarence E. Nase is junior defense counsel. Statement by Stevens Walsh said he had gone to the home of Henry Stevens, a defendant, | in Lavallette and had taken a statei ment in the presence of Sergt. Richard Burke and Mrs. Stevens. The statement then was offered in evidence and after several questions on cross-examination *was read by Captain Walsh. Stevens said he, had fished with no one, but was close by several i other fishermen and spoke to them. , One was Arthur-Applegate, who had j caught a blueflsh. He also saw the mayor and his wife, he believed. Stevens, in the statement, said he | owned a Ford station wagon and | Mrs. Stevens had a Chandler sevenpassenger sedan which he could not drive. He had not been In New Brunswick a month before the murder, but went there Saturday night when he learned by telegram of Dr. Hall’s death. Denies Voicing Threat He said he didn’t know at the time i there was such a woman as—Mrs. Mills and had never threatened the rector. Stevens admitted he was a good shot with a shotgun, but said he had not fired ft revolver in 26 yeanA ' Frank Barnhart, brother-in-law of the slain chqir singer was the next witness. ’ y“Very Much in Love He said Mrs. Mills was “very much In love with the rector.” In 1917, he heard the singer say that “Dr. Hall measured up to my Idea of a man." Mrs. Mills spoke of her love for the rector up until the time of her death, said Barnhart. The vhoir singer was discussiifg friendship one day Barnhart related. “Eleanor said she had only one friend, Dr. Hall, and that Mrs. Hall was supposed to be a very dear friend but turned out not to be,” said I the witness. . “Mrs. Hall snubbed me because I had what she has never had —the love of Dr. Hall," Barn hard t quoted I Mrs. Mills as saying. Henry Mills, brother of the widower and member of Dr. Hall’s church then was called. He made as dull and as uninterested witness as has been called in the trial. He resembled his brother, both in appearance and manner. Henry Mills said there was common gossip regarding the ’“extraordinary attentions” paid his sister-in-law by Dr. Hail. i Mrs. J.

Husband Shoots Man Talking With

Wife About Renting RoomSought by Police. An eight years’ battle’against, she jealousy of a hnsband ended Monday night, and today Mrs. Ruth Foltz, 80, wife of Grover Foltz, 228 E. Wyorrfing St., sobbed, “I’ve lost after all and an innocent man is dead.” Foltz is a fugitive from justice, wanted on a charge of killing Malcolm Grayson, 27, of 11 E. McCarty St., Monday evening, and Mrs. Foltz is held under a $5,000 vagrancy bond in city prison as a material witness.

t According to Mrs. Foltz, Grayson l | was shot by her husband while he | I was at their home, trying to secure I | a room there. She had just told him I that Foltz preferrred not to have j roomers ’in the home, when the first shot was fired, coming~thTough the kitchen door glass. Foltz h:ul hid j den himself in the kitchen. This shot missed and Grayson j started to rup. But just then the j second shot was fired, 'striding him ! in the right side of the back. Foltz j ran into ttje dining room and con- J tinued to fire at Grayson, who fled 1 ! through the front door and ran east | jon Wyoming St. A police emergency , i squad found him lying dead about ! 100 feet from Alabama St., along the I foundation of an old brewery building. gm Meanwhile, according to Mrs. Foltz, her husband threatened to kill her and himself, ran upstairs and got I some clothes and fled in his automo- ! j bile. "Oh, why did I talk to that man?” (bemoaned Mrs. Foltz today. “He was Innocent. Not a word that any one could object to has passed | between us, but my husband's awful jealousy did what I've always feared. I My whole married life has been I | shadowed by fear of his getting | 1 jealous, but I’ve never given him any real cause.” Mrs. Foltz, a slight, blue-eyed woman told in a trembling voice of her acquaintance with the dead man. "I’ve seen him often —yes,” she said. “You see he passed through the alley on his way from work at the Ell Lilly--Company and .somej times I’Ve talked to him or called ‘hello’ to him from the back porch. I think I know what's back of this. I Some nosey neighbor has mentioned to my husband, about my speaking to Grayson and he’s thought there was more to it than there was.

Abnormally Jealous “From the first of our married life I’ve always been conscious that my husband was abnormally jealous. If ever I mentioned that I thought a man was nice looking or pleasant, ha was just fired up, and I’ve been conscious that I've had to be careful —terribly careful —not to j arouse him. He has often. In reading or hearing about a husband who hud cause to suspect his wife's loyalty, said Td make short work of a man If ever I came* across one i paying attention to my wife.’ But 1 swear before God he's never had any cause from anything I’ve done. *‘L<ast summer Grayson asked me If we had a ivora here that he might I rent. We did Save and I asked my husband to let nip rent It. If not to this man, to some one—any one, it would be a good way to make money, I said. He objected and I said no more. “About two weeks ago Grayson again mentioned it. saying he was going to change his present room. My husband again objected and nothing more was said. I talked to Grayson last afternoon — just a mtnutAtnd I again talked to him Monday noon. “MondAy night he came to the jdoor and just had time to say. Have you asked your husband if 1 can rent that room?’ when shots rang out and I realized that she thing I've always feared had happened-Muy husband had let jealousy make him a beast — a murdering one. That's what he Is and my love for him, which was true and deep. Is now dead. He killed an innocent man: he’s killed my love." Makes Threat Mrs. Foltz also related that after the shooting 6he pleaded with her husband for an explanation and followed him to the room, where ho was collecting his Clothes before fleeing. "He pointed bis gun at me and said. Til kill you too and if you don’t get out of here. I’ll kill myself too,’ he said, so I ran out of the house,” Mr*- Foltz stated. They have -one ' child, Marie Waneta, 7, who witnessed the murder, and who had been present and, bad overheard the eo-versatlon j between her mother and Grayson. Police, called by neighbors, re- j celved the first clew as to what j had happened when Edward i Shaughenessy, 231 E. Wyoming St., said hfe was attracted by the shots and heard a child scream und a Moor slam at the Foltz resident Grayson was a wagon driver for the Lilly company. He was a single man.

HOLDING COMPANY ! LEGISLATION MAY BE REINTRODUCED State Senator Hits at Utility Control by Parent Concerns. Proposed legislation providing that holding companies be subject to State regulation probably will be lntroI duced again in the next Legislature i by State Senator William T. Quillen, attorney, 421 Lemcke Bldg. The Quillen holding company bill met defeat in the last General Assembly by one vote, but Quillen Indicated he will reintroduce the bill If be has any assurance of Its passing. He attributed defeat at the last session jto a “powerful lobby, made up of representatives from all over the country.” Quillen said the proposed legislation, if passed, would have saved the Indiana public at lehst $14,000,000 annually, by eliminating the 4H per cent usually paid parent companies annually in addition to the legal return on the Investment. Killing the Goose "Conduct of utilities In the eeraraMe for increased rates Is killing the goose that laid the egg, and is forcing the public to any means that might free it from the grasp of corporate greed, and from the machi-' nation of the public service commission,’’ said Quillen. Quillen advocated municipal ownership with managerial control as a solution ot the utility problem. ‘Municipal ownership will not work where a utility is made merely a political foottuill. It must be operated on sound business basis,” he said. “A municipal utility should be under the supervision of a competent mannger responsible for successful operation, who, under contract, would be protected from political interference or importunities. Deal With Holding Firm "When ft petition is filed by the utility the holding concern should be dealt with instead of the local dummy company. Any company owning 51 per cent or more of the stock should be considered the principal as far as the State ts concerned.” Asa flagrant example, Quillen cited the Indiana Bell Telephone Oomparty whtch practically is owned by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. “In such an instance the parent concern controls the dummy corporation truly as a man controls a puppet,” said Quillen. The legislator denounced the proposed merging of the Indianapolis Light nnd Heat Company and the Merchants Heat and Light Company, into a corporation capitalized at $55,000,000 for rate-making purpose*. Total valuation at present is $18,000,000. “If a 7 cent rate ts a fair return on $18,000,000 then three time* that amount would be logical on the higher valuation,” he said.

TOKENS TO TAKE PLACE OF TICKETS rndtanapolis street car tickets, both blue and salmon colored, will way to metal tokens about the size of a dime the early iart of January, according to Robert I. Todd, Indianapolis Street Railway president. Johnson registering fhreboxes wfit be installed on all street cars. These boxes will count and register pennies, niekles and dimes as well as tokens, and passengers will be required to deposit their Individual fares when boarding the cars. Conductors sell tokens, make change and issue transfers as at present. Joseph A. McGowan, company secretary and treasurer, said the change to tokens was decided on after careful investigation of their use in a large number of cities where It has proved satisfactory to patrons and a means of saving time for conductors and accountants. / The token selected frw Indianapolis has a letter cut in a design of the soldiers' and sailors’ monument in such a'way as to form a part of the shaft. It Is made of white metal and bears the company name and facsimile of the president’s signature, as do the present tickets. A million tokens have been ordered. The first shipment of the new fare boxes Is expected before the end of the month. The company will Install them In the cars and when all are equipped will put the token system into effect. Blue street car tickets were discontinued and salmon colored ones Issued Nov. 1 by the company in an effort to check a discrepancy in the company's accounts between returns from tickets and the value of tickets sold. Throe persons are under .arrest charged with stealing bootlegging them at reduced rates, but the company was unable to de termlne how much of the dlscrep anuy was due to thefts and how much due to inaccurate accounting.
