SUSPICIOUS HASTE The plea for haste on the part of the financiers who are engaged in the pleasant business of coupling the two electric companies means something to every resident of this city. The zeal suggests that it means money—and every dollar that these men expect to profit must eventually be paid by the men and women who work and live in this city. These financiers are asking that they be permitted to link the two electric companies into one plant, and to issue to themselves more than fiftyfive millions of dollars In bonds and various sorts of stocks. The reason for the haste is, of course, quite apparent. There is a hole in the present public utility law. There is at present no power in that commission to control those concerns called “holding companies” which are created from time to time to either hide watered stocks or to make permanent control of companies while the real ownership Is elsewhere, mainly among the ‘'widows and orphans’’ for whom tearful pleas can be made later. The corporations defeated a proposal to remedy this defect at the last Legislature. With more general education as to just what these holding companies can do in the way of escaping public control, there is reason to believe that the hole in the flvi will be plugged when the Legislature meets again. So the real haste is a race between these men who hope to escape control and the meeting of the Legislature. It will be unfortunate if the members of the public service commission let themselves be led into obeying the pleas of these men engaged in the merger. No one would object to a real merger brought within the law and valued according to the law. That does not fit the purposes of the financiers who have the vision of those fifty-five millions of stocks to play with. There should be but one company to furnish electricity. There should be an economically managed company with sufficient facilities to furnish electricity at a rate that will enable this city to compete with other cities in manufacturing. But the plan proposed is at least open to scrutiny. In the petition, for Instance, it Is suggested that old bonds, worth dollar for dollar, be taken up and that new bonds be Issued at the rate of 93 cents on the dollar. There will he thirty-two millions of dollars’ worth of these new bonds, if the plan is approved. That means the pleasant commission of approximately two and one-quarter millions of dollars for the sale of these bonds or their transfer. There is. a further shrinkage in the preferred stocks, which furnish more commissions to the financiers. In the meantime, there is no suggestion that the two plants are worth anything like fifty-five millions of dollars. If the commission feels the urge of action, might it. not be suggested that the members get busy on that mandatory provision of the law which says that it shall place a valuation on all property of all utilities “used and usable.” Unfortunately the commission seems to have shown no haste in regard to the values of these two properties and has before it no appraisal which could be used as a basis of judgment in granting power to flood the new concern with these millions of securities. There is a provision of the law that when two companies are merged the capitalization of the merged concerns shall not be in excess of the combined capitalization of the merged properties. ‘ That would, if followed here, result in a capitalization of many millions less than is now proposed. But no such method is to be followed. Instead the subterfuge of a purchaser of the two plants is adopted and this new purchaser, another of those “soulless” creations of law, asks for much more than would be permitted had the companies agreed to join forces in trying to serve this community with electricity. The real fight behind the formal proceedings of the commission Is to get money, the people’s money. It Is a fight to gain those huge commissions on stocks and bonds. It is a fight to create dollars through permission of the people’s representatives. It is significant that every lawyer representing the public is asking delay, and that every lawyer for the corporations is urging haste. The Attorney General, the corporation counsel of this city, the lawyers for the Chamber of Commerce and the lawyers for the civic clubs are only asking time to have a look behind the figures and find out what it is all about. There Is nothing unreasonable in that. If the deal is legitimate and in the public good, the men who propose it should be eager to defend it. The commission stands charged by the attorey for this city with having been selected with a ; w of favoring corporations owning public utilises, and specifically the men who control these utilities. The public commission can to some extent allay suspicion thus directed against itself if it yields to the demands of those who represent the public and show less speed in helping these men to get what they want. Delay can not injure their plans. No one is going to steal their light plants or run away with their wires—at least the wires over which they send out heir power and light. There is less guarantee as to my political wires which they may have.

HE UN I TED STATES AND LATJNAMEEICA Startling indeed was that first paragraph of an Associated Press dispatch from Washington yesterday telling of the troubles in Nicaragua. “The specter of a Mexican-fostered bolshevist hegemony intervening between the*.United States 1 Panama*Canal," it said.■"has thrust itself into < ican-Mexi an relations, already strained.” it sounded alarming. It conjured up a picture, vr from pleasant, of bolshevism rampant in LatinAmerica and menacing the safety of the very key to our national defense. We hurried on with our l eading. "President Diaz”—the new president of -tiie dispatch continued, “immediately on his

recognition by the United States . . . yesterday . . . sought American aid against a liberal revolution supported by Mexico." * Then It wasn’t bolshevism we had to deal with, but a “liberal revolution.” We breathed easier and read on: “In liis statement Mr. Kellogg (our Secretary of State), said he hoped Diaz’ overturn to the Nicaraguan liberals, in which he promised general amnesty and cabinet posts and sought cooperation in ending the revolt, would be accepted . . There is no need to quote further. Here the red “specter” vanishes into thin air, leaving the newly recognized president of Nicaragua inviting the liberals into his cabinet as partners in running the country, with Secretary Kellogg fervently hpping they would accept the invitation. Surely Mr. Kellogg would not wish any bolshevists off on Diaz. What is now going on in Nicaragua, of course, is the perennial squabble between two political parties, one backed by the big American interests—which, in Nicaragua, as in all Latin-America, are enormous—and the other by native nationalists, who, generally speaking, are opposed to what they term Yankee interference in their affairs. The article from which we quote apparently was of State Department Inspiration. It is also obvious that the department is seeking to huild up a background for future action either in Nicaragua or Mexico, or both, hence its constant dangling of the "specter” of Mexican or some other species of bolshevism before the eyes of the American public. X Such tactics are unworthy of a great Nation like ours. It’s old stuff and fools nobody for long. Nor Is It necessary. The Panama Canal belongs to the American people. It is regarded by those responsible for our safety as of prime importance to our national defense. In Nicaragua, too, we have a very special Interest. We hold in perpetuity canal rights—which some day we may have to use—across her territory. We have a naval base site on the Gulf of Fon-< seca. From Nicaragua to Panama Is only 250 miles. For these and other quite legitimate reasons we are interested not only in the future of that particular republic, but in all Central America. If Secretary Kellogg is in possession of documents proving the menace the State Department is hinting at he should produce It. He should not seek to Inspire newspaper articles vaguely giving an impression for which his department Is unwilling to assume the responsibility. Things are certainly far from what they should he in Mexico, but every effort of Washington thus far to link Mexico City with Moscow has failed utterly. The American Federation of Labor, itself violently anti-Russian and anti-soviet, 1r pro-Mexico. Why, then, should Mexico, which Is not bolshevist. try to convert Central America to a doctrine which she hersfelf does not accept? Mexican ships, likely enough, have acted as gun runners to the Nicaraguan liberals. But American ships have performed a similar service in other times again and again, not only for Nicaragua but for most every other country from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn. Probably, too, Mexico looks upon the liberal revolution in Nicaragua with favor. If President Diaz is pro-American, then Mexico, in commot with every other Latin-American country, is almost sure to he against his regime for that simple reason. We hold no brief for the liberals of Nicaragua. Nor for President Diaz or President Calles of Mexioo. We do wish, however, to see peace and order reign in that part of the world, and feel that we must keep safe the keystone of the edifice of our national defense, which is Panama. If we are to have a policy on which we as a people will go to the mat it must be based on simple truth and justice.

IT WON’T WORK IN THE U. S. A. By N. D. Cochran- i Now and then an American financier or captain of industry comes home from Europe and cuts loose with a song of praise for Mussolini, the Italian boss. He tells us what a wonderful fellow Muss. Is and what wonders he has worked for Italy. That means something. * When you consider how the Italian dictator has suppressed free speech, a free press, the right to assemble peaceably—how he has made even opposition to him and his blackshirts a crime—you can see what some of these admirers of Mussolini would do in this land of the more or less free if thev could get away with it. We have had some of the same sort of tyranny in this country, in spots. Public officials in the coal regions of Pennsylvania and West Virginia have packed some parts of the Constitution in mothballs when it suited the convenience and selfish purpose of coal operators. New Jersey officialdom In factory towns have done the same. And we have had Federal and State judges giving taxations of the Italian tyrant in using the injunction to do away with trial by jury. Most traits of human nature are universal. The more power a man gets the more he wants, no matter what his race. He likes to make other people Jump when he cracks the whip. If he has the power he will make others, live and act as he thinks they ought to live and act. * If he can’t shoot them down with bullets he’ll try to smash them with words and epithets. And he Is particularly dangerous to society when he tries to do his stuff in the name of righteousness. Probably that western prohibition Judge who put violators of the Volstead law on bread and water got a kick out of the thought that any form of cruelty was justified when done in the service of the Lord. There is cruelty In the heart of a bigot who will try to enforce his will on others by force. There was cruelty in the hearts of the devout Christians who burned so-called witches at the stake in the early days of Massachusetts, So with those Louisiana reformers who murdered a pair of bootleggers ahd drove an empty headed country girl of easy virtue from the State. Also with the hooded knights of the bedsheet who strip * and beat men and women whose morals are not up to i the required standard, Mussolini suppressed nil newspapers in Italy except such as he could control. There are bigots among tho drys who would suppress all newspapers that criticise the Volstead act; and, very likely, there are bigots [ among the wets who would suppress advocates of > prohibition. A nmn has a right to believe whatever he wants to believe or does believe. He has a right to argue and to attempt tyo get others to agree with his opinions—if they care to listen. But he h:is no right to beat op or shoot down anybody who doesn’t .think as he thinks. Let him be captain of his own soul, but quit niouM.vIng with the souls of others. Whoever said that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty knew that ho was talking about. When a people sleep on their rights they may wake up to find they haven't any. In the long run Fascism won’t work In Italy: it won't work in this country at any time.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Jane Gibson Is Centra! Figure in Drama of Real Life,

By M. E. Tracy The Hall-Mills case came to its dramatic climax on schedule, with Mrs. Jane Gibson, said to be dying from cancer, In the stellar role. Let budding playwrights take note, for here is a scene to harrow the most blase audience and lend color to the tamost of plots. Barring that grim age when the wheel, the rack and the boot pl'-.yed their ugly part, history contains nothing to parallel it. Here, as It would seem, the most unnatural traits and circumstances combined In perfect accord to ’produce a spectacle that beggars description. A woman employs what may be her last act to damn three fellow beings, while the mother who bore her hisses, “Liar!” The State had to hurry, or thought it did, in order to prevent death from sealing the only pair of lips that could oqer direct testimony of what occurred on that fatal night four years ago. Could the trial have been delayed a few weeks’ longer the defendants would have had nothing to fear from this poor plaything of fate, Jane Gibson, who has lived in misery only to pass out while making misery for others, provided, of course, the doctors have diagnosed her case correctly. •I- -|‘ IUnusual Makes New It Is the unusual that makes news, whether we like it or not, and by the same inflexible law the usual ceases to be news, no matter how interesting or sensational it may be. Six miners drowned at Hazelton, Pa., and can’t find a place on the front page because they are too few among so many. The business of burrowing in the earth for coal haa become too risky for accidents, even of startling character,. to attract much attention. ■I- I IQueen's Clouded Visit Queen Marie has canceled all engagements and will sail for Europe as soon as she can get a boat. Her husband has taken a turn for the worse according to private advices. Her Majesty’s visit has labored under a cloud from the begining. In the first place, her ministers told her that, if she didn’t make it now she would probably never get a chance on account of the King's Illness and possible death. In the second place, they told her that if she did make it she was likely to be called home at any moment for the same reason. Even royalty knows no freedom from mortal ills. -I- I- -I* Deed or Tragedy? The United Press gives a most graphic description of the giant airship which Great Britain is building. It will be of ll>s tons burden and capable of carrying 100 passengers, with all modern conveniences and accommodations. Its destiny is to fly to India or overseas to even farther outlying possessions of the empire. Are we being advised of a great achievement In aviation, or of another tragedy in the making? There will be dauntless spirits enough to man and sail this .eviathan of the skies, and to prove whether mueh has been learned or whether the race is merely courageous stimr'i to risk death once more for the sake of learning. -I- I- IPress Influence Benjamin Purnell was a prophet pusulng the even tenor of his way four years ago and making good at it so far as converts and contributions went. Today he lg. at liberty under $120,000 bond charged with criminal assault by two young girls. His lawyers admit that they have countenanced his failure to appear and answer charges sooner. "In view of the attitude of the press three years ago,” they say. “it would have been not only asinine and rank stupidity hut suicidal to have submitted to trial at that time.” Maybe so. Lots of people would find It easier and safer to submit to trial but for the attitude of the press. + + + Power for Good

People with weak heads and strong prejudices are constantly harping on the attitude of the press. They wish it wouldn’t publish crimes or scandal. or sensational stories, but Just be polite and lady-like. • It would be a good old world for freaks, fakes and criminals if the press could only be induced to adopt their plan. Pennsylvania could go right on with Its Vare machine and bougn' nominations; Chicago could pursue its murderous gang war: the HallMills case could lie quiescent until everybody had forgotten about it; Daugherty, Fall, Doheny, Sinclair or anyone else who felt that way could get all the oil and spare change the government had saved; Canton's underworld could function without fear: reds and klansmen could set everybody by the ears with secret propaganda: big business could put hills through Congress and the State Legislature to its heart’s content, and crooked officers could make scads of money by throwing in with bootleggers, dope peddlers and other law violators. The press is not Infallible, and doesn't pretend to he. but It does a lot of good, and sometimes by the very kinds of publicity for which it is criticised most severely. l tle anaconda a poisonous snake? No: it kills Its victims by crushing them to death.

You Asked for Piano Records and Here Are Two Fine Artists Waiting for You

By Walter D. Hickman Was Just getting ready to tell you about some new jazz records when the telephone bell woke me up that I w-as wanted. The request was: Please list the records of two great pianist3. I want to oblige and In so doing I had to go back to my record library at my home. Selected many Brunswick records of Josef Hofman and Leopold Godowsky. Will give you the introduction to Godowsky as listed by Brunswick In their catalog, as follows: Leopold Godowsky was born In the ancient town of Vilna, in the Lithuanian province of Russian Poland. From early childhood he showed an extraordinary aptitude for music, making his first public appearance at the age of nine at a concert in his native town. Four years later, he was enrolled a*, the Berlin-Hochschue, and soon afterwards the young pianist left for America. Godowsky toured in concerts for two years and later returned to Europe to study under Liszt at Welmer. This, his greatest ambition, was never realized, for IJszt had died before Godowsky reached him. He studied under Saint-Saens, the great composer, but tbe latter’s restless nature and incessant activities made continuous work Impossible, and Godowsky became practically his own teacher. That he was his best instructor, time and his great reputation today have proven. A master pianist of singular depth and profundity of thought, he is celebrated for his wopdrous and perfect technique. The Brunswick Godowsky are as follows, those that T like the best: "Caprlccio" (F Minor) Dohnanyi “A I>a Bien Aimee" (Op. 50. No. 2) . . Sohuet.t “Kantalsio Impromptu" Choptn "March* Mi'italre" . Srhubert-Tauslg "Flatterer. The" (La Lisonjera) ....

No. 2) Chopin "A La Bien Almlee" (Op. 59. No. 2) Sehuett "Canriedo" (F. Minor) Dohnanvi "Ballade in A Fla'" Chopin “Nocturne in D Flat" Chopin “Black Key* Study" (Op. 10. No. 6) followed hv "Butterfly Studv ’ (On 25. No. 9) Chopin "Prelude in C sham win**" Rmhmaninoff AS TO HOFMANN Brunswick in their catalog gives the following data about Josef Hofmann :

Josef Hofmann was bora in OraI kow, Poland. The son of a pianist ! and professor of harmony. His father quickly discovered the son's unusual talents and taught him until he was 16 years old. At that time, he became the only private pupil the great Anton Rubinstein ever had. He had, however, already become an international celebrity through his tours in Russia and America. i For many years Josef Hofmann I lived in Aiken. South Carolina, and ! has been so long associated with Americans’ and American customs I that he is accepted as native born. He has toured practically all of the countries where the art of music is appreciated, making musical history in New York, Chicago, < San Francisco. Paris, London and Pet- , rograd. In each he has been acI claimed as one of the greatest pianists of a!l times and has been by popular acclaim elected to the New Hall of Fame. New York, critics have long placed him in the fore of the highest rank of musicians. These records of Hofmann on Brunswick I know are splendid: "Mr Joys" Chopln-Liszt Pripludo in G Minor (Op. 23)" . . . „ .• * . Rachmaninoff "Nocturne Hofmann “Prelude In C Sharp Minor (On 3.

The costuming of the band has been changed along with the musical numbers presented and the whole act has been altered in such a manner that everything smacks of a new presentation entirely.Several melodies by the band, an excellent song by the quartet and some specialty numbers by different people of the company feature the a,it this week. As an extra bit of entertainment Thursday afternoon Mr. Ardath secured Julian Woodworth, who is in the city for a few days, and prevailed upon him to sing us a song. Liked him. Fred Ireland has a rather snappy song and dance act and offers much in the line of fast dances and several ballads. The outstanding events of the act were the soft shoe dancing by one of the men and the tap dance finale. Meyers and Nolan offer some comedy that went over mv head. T could see nothing to laugh at in it. Hart. Wagner ansi Lela taken their comedy ideas direct from the burlesque circuit and succeeded in getting many laughs with this brand of fun. The photoplay offering the last half of the week is "Whispering Wires” with Anita Stewart, and a News Beel. At the Palace todav and tomorrow.

“We never really die: we could not if wo tried. See the flowers in the garden: They die, but they come back, all the better for It.. It is a nap from which we awaken rested, refreshed. A sleep which the old fall Into, tired and slow, and springing up from earth like tumbling out of bed—ready to come back into another world.” David Belaaco penned tills thought and put it into the mouth of Peter Grimm. David Warfield spoke it most eloquently on the stage. In the picture, “The Return of Peter Grimm," Alec B. Francis lives it. “Peter Grimm” is on view today and Saturday at the Colonial.
