Nebraska and Texas also have each MERGER REARING MAY By ELAYEO (Continued From Pago 1) *the petition on grounds that the proposed utility is not an operating utility under the Indiana law on this subject, that consent of threefourths of the stockholders of~ the merging companies has not been shown, that public Necessity does not demand such a merger, that no benefits will result and that the commission lacks jurisdiction. Mote eounteyd xvith a supplemental petition snowing consent of all stockholders of both the Merchants Heat and Light Company and the Indianapylis Light and Heat Company to the sale to the Indianapolis Power and Light Company and consent of the latter’s stockholders to acquire assets of the other two. Mendenhall protested against acceptance of this petition. Session Held The formal meeting with attorneys for the different interests was preceded by an executive session of the commission. There has been much opposition to the merger proposal by civic organizations, and local power users, it being their contention that higher rates’ would result, since the actual property valuation of the two firnis is only $18,000,000, while under the petition, stock would be issued on the value. The whole comrrilssion will sit in the hearing, Frank Wampler presiding. ‘ Other commissioners, besides Jones ans Wampler, are John W McCardle, chairman; Samuel R. Artmart and Frank T. Singleton. Earl Carter, chief engineer of the commission, w<ho has been working on valuations of the two local com panles, based on property i-tate ments submitted by officials of the concerns, said he has not quite completed his He Is Revising his figures at present. Injunction Denied Adirtisslon of the complaint filed by Rucker, In evidence, was denied after an all-day hearing Wednesday before Circuit Court Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. When the complaint was turned down, It threp,’ the entire case out of court, as Rucker was seeking the temporary restraining order on the basis of allegations In the complaint. The court pointed out that as a citizen and a taxpayer he “be--lieved that- the delay should be granted, but as the court in this matter, the points of law will not warrant anything hut a denial of the plaintiff’s petition.” Judge Chamberlin pointed out that the section of the complaint charging the utility interests paid $19,000 into Governor Jackson’s 1924 campaign in order to Insure selection of public service commission members favorable to the merger of the utilities, was based merely on belief.

He said the powers of directorship/ were vested in the hands of Samuel and Martin Insull, and Harley Clarke, Chicago utility magnates, who “pulled the strings.” “By this scheme, Chicago corporations and persons, without submitting themselves to the jurisdiction of this State, put up a puppet and ask SSS,OOO.OQjff from the people of Indiana,” he said. “These corporations and their officers do not even file in this State, but stay outside the borders and pull the strings to make their Indiana puppets work. The commission has no right to hear the merger petition. It can V>*y hear persons who have an interest in the proposed move and those who are interested are not even in this State.” Rucker's entire speech was directed against the utilities which, he said, have built up a “network of interstate companies for the restraint of trade and abolishment of competition.” He said both the Merchants and the Indianapolis electric companies were held by the Clark and Insull interests and this move was qne to “merge the Indianapolis properties of Clark and Itjsull.” He stated that after the merger is completed the company will then raise the rates as high as can he done Without “losing too much trade." Quillen said the haste that marked the proceedings was enough to "warrant a restraint.” radTourloia - OF SODA WATER? Manufacture Average of $2.15 Per Capita in State.

Bn united Press j HAZELTON. Pa., Nov. 18.—The work of pumping the water from the Tomhicken mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, where six men have been entombed forty hours, was being rushed today. A large crew of rescue workers are laboring tirelessly in an effort to free their comrades, who were caught when the mirie was flooded by an overflow from a small creek Tuesday afternoon. w Mine officials estimated that it would require at least two and possibly three days to lower the water to a level frwm which it would be possible for the rescue jvorkers to penetrate the workings far enough to reach the imprisoned men. Whether the entombed men survived the inrush of water and succeeded in taking refuge on a higher slope of tne mine where they still are alive is a matter of conjecture.

‘PIG WOMAN’ HITS MURDER ACCUSED (Continued from Page 1) ness, she saddled her mule and started up De Hussey's lane after the wagon. “What did you see later?” asked Simpson. “I saw an automobile and two people,” mubled the witness. "Who were they?” "A white woman without a hat and a colored man.” “Do you know who they were?” "I know now. They were Mrs. Hall and Steven's.” “Which Stevens?” “Willie Stevens.” Mrs. Gibson then said she went up the lane, lost track of the wagon and came back, tying her mule to some cedar trees. Feared Mule’s Bray She left the mule, she said, because she thought Jpnny s bray would give her away in case the wagon driver came back. As she left the cedar tree she heard voices, she said, "men’s voices and women’s voices.” The sounds were as of a quartet. She heard someone say: "Explain those letters.” Men swore, she said. One of them cried, “God damn it, let go!” She saw two faces. One of them, she said, was Henry Stevens. Mrs. Gibson said she had identified the other man, but Senator Simpson told her not to mention him. She did not then see Willie Stevens. "A woman screamed, ‘Oh, Henry, very easy.’ ” went on Mrs. Gibson. “Another woman screamed; ‘Oh, my; Oh, my’: How she sscreamed!” Heard Shots TCE this point she said she ran for her mule. Tn her haste she lost a moccasin. Three more shots, "Bang, bang, bang,” sped ber on her way. Mrs. Gibson said she had gone home and then had decided to return to the Phillips farm. She heard a sound “like a screech owl!' and tied her mule once more. She came forward and saw the woman, identified as Mrs. Hall, kneeling. “The woman was crying, and crying. and crying,” said Mrs. Gibson. Mrs. Gibson then told of her going on home and her story of the events of the tragic September night four yeaHCago once more. Senator Sirppron the prosecutor asked If Mrs. Gibson knew the Church of St. John the Evangelist. She did. Points so Widow * Then the doctor and nurse raised the head of the bed in order that Mrs. Gibson might identify-the defendants. Mrs. Gibson pointed at. Mrs. Hall and asked her to take off her hat. “That's her." said the witness, raising her voice. “Do you see Willie Stevens in the courtroom?” asked Simpson. " “Yes, right over there, right over there looking at me.” There was some confusion as to which of the Stevens brothers she was looking at. Simpson asked an attorney next to Willie Stevens to move aside. Counsel for the defense objected to this maneuver, but from that point on Mrs. Gibson was certain in her identification of Mrs. Hall’s erratic brother. She then pointed out Henry Stevens and the identification of the defendants was complete. Mrs. Hall and her brothers retained their poise as Mrs. Gibson nodded to them. U. S.

MARRIED MEN GETEDGE FOR LIVING ID RIPE OLD AGE Divorced Hubbies Die Young —Women Exist Longer. By Mark L. Emerson, M. D. Member Gorges Memorial Institute (Written lor the United Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 18. Toss—a coin in the air 80,000 times and it will land heads 40,900 times; nt least this was the result of an experiment by a class at the University of California, June 28. of this year. The ex pertinent was simply to verify want had been demonstrated before, name ly the law of average. Just keep tossing the coin long enough and it will break oven many times before you reach 80,000. n Ko It is with the expectancy of life. The life insurance companies base their investments on the law of average of human life, for your age and generation. Their statistics are derived from life statistics of the United Stales, Great Britain, France and Germany, It Is, therefore, up to you to pro long your average if you can. In l he first place, don’t believe the wag who said, "Married men don't live any longer than slnglo men, it only seems longer." The statisties for the city of Chicago, for 192!>, show that ouT--of 1,000 men, from 25 to 34 years, those who die, included fifteen who were divorced, five who were single and only four who were married. The ratio is even more favorable as they get older. Women ns an average live three years longer than men. The average life Is new fifty-eight yeiris: you should live eight years longer than your parents and twelve years longer than your grandparents; and some of our grandparents.lived to be pretty old people. However, th<j life of people In your grandparents’ generation was forty-six years, and the average life those of your parents’ generation was fifty years. Your children should live four years longer than you do. The average life in 1950 will he seventy-five years, it is expected. When It comes to long life, try to be a little better than the average. Got the habit of tho annual health examinations or health audits, and don’t go to a fortune teller, in order to find out how long you are going to live. Go to ,vour family doctor and insist that he keep you well. Here’s tho table which you should try to beat: At seven years of age. you should live fifty-eight yearn more. At twelve years of agd*. you should liv© fifty-three years more. At thirty-two years of age, you should live thirty-seven years more. At forty-two years of age, you should live twenty-nino years more. At fifty-two years of ago, you | should live twenty-one years more. At sixty-two years of age, you should live fifteen years more. At seventy-two years of age, you should live nine years more. At eighty-two years of age, you should live five years more. At ninety-two years of age, you should live three years more. At 102 years of age, you should live two years more.
