NEW MEASURE ASKS CITY-OWNED UTILITIESPLANTS Municipalities Could Ignore Commission if Service Failed to Please. When a city becomes dissatisfied with its utilities, it may establish Its awn municipally owned plant without the consent of the Indiana Public Service Commission, under the provisions of a bill now being prepared for introduction in the Indiana Legislature. A similar bill was introduced at the 1923 session by Representative .Tap Jones, Martinsville, Democratic candidate for State treasurer at Unlast election. Many utilities bills are scheduled for both Houses this week and as they continue to pour in, the matter Os changing the public service commission or the matter of State regulation seems more and more in danger of being "billed to death." Pittcngcr Bill Up The list announced for this week In the House of Representatives include! the Pittenger bill for a sur vey committee to study regulation in other States and report back at the next session; a bill similar to the Nejdl and Shake Senate bills providing for appeal from commission decisions to local Circuit and Superior Courts, and another similar to the Senate bill to exempt municipality owned utilities from commission control. Representatives Edward B. Bender (Dem), Zionsville, and Ira A. Mendenhall (Rep.), Washington, announced last week that they would be ready to introduce a measure similar to the bill of Senator Howard A. Cann (Rep.), Frankfort, calling for complete abolition of the commission and State control. May Call Today Cann declared that he will be ready to call his bill to second reading when the Senate begins the week this afternoon. He will attempt to have it passed on to third reading and made a special matter of business, so that the public may be present at the final debate. The bill of Senator Robert L. Moor•head. Indianapolis, providing for an elective rather than an appointive commission, has not vet been reported out of committee and more nubile hearings on the measure may he held. • Senators Carl M. Gray, Petersburg, and Anderson Ketehurn, Grewisburg, have a bill which will provide for approval of all commissioners nd also for court appeals. It is exi eoted that this will be given Demo- ( atic party suppoit at a caucus eheduled for tonight at the Claypool. The liberty bell was cast in London in 1752 and recast the next year in Philadelphia.

‘MUSIC MASTER’ A FILM CLASSIC (Continued From Page 4.) Without his face, the comedy would be rather long and drawn out. Miss Davies is cast as a hardworking young kitchen maid who lias a secret longing for romance. An Irishman comes to town and she falls in love with him, but the Irish hero is having such a busy time with the rest of the buxom Holland maids that he passes her up entirely. If we are to believe the picture everyone in Holland is big and heavy, and we doubt this very much. Louise Fazenda is present with her comedy tears and her facial contortions and also helps out a bit on the comedy line. She teams up pretty well with Karl Dane, who provokes a laugh in these days by a glimpse of his face and form only. Charlie Davis and His Gang have some more tuneful melodies in their attraction for the week, “Broadway Nights.” Bob Gordon and his organ

CONCERNING SOME REAL MELODY HERE It seems to me now that the Flonzaley quartet was In a very melodious mood yesterday'at the academy of Music, where they appeared under the direction again of the Indianapolis Maennerchor. Sometimes a majority of heavy music wil carry the thought even after the concert. The same is true even when a program includes Haydn, Schumann and two Scottish pieces by Pochon of the quartet and E. R. Blanchet. I will never forget the Andante of Haydn’s “Quartet in D Major, Op. 76, No. 5.” Here was a soothing melodious effect tha* made one want to cry even when happy. Even the Scottish pieces invited the thought that even happiness and spirit were both there. • This program reflected from the very beginning a strain of happiness. And it was happiness of melody and fine playing. It seemed that all

The body was recovered late Saturday night by Gilbert Weiss and C. C. Perkins, who used the under-watci lighting device that they recently used to find the body of Barton Bradley. George W. Giover, 3540 Park Ave . attracted by the screams of witnesses, pulled Hurt from the water. Slick, the son of Mr. and Mrs. leorge J. Slick, is also survived by ’iree sisters, Ruth, Louise and 'stella.

j "Hang on,” said Scouty Tinymite, I ’Cause if we do, w-e'll be all right. I | hope this airship doesn’t drop and j drag us in the sea. I don't know where we're going now. but. surely, you will all fellow that this is better than our boat. It seems that way to me.” What Scouty meant, by what he ! said was that they’d surely get ghead much faster on the airplane than on any drifting ship. With little pleasure out at sea, he knew they all desired to be upon the dry land rather | than a lonesome water strip. The rope that they were clinging |to swung back and forth. It thrilled I them, too. Imagine flying on through space not knowing whither bound. ' The Tinies figured that, of course, the big balloon would be their source of after while arriving at some safe spot on the ground. “Ah. this is luck,” we Clowny said, "I see dry land, far, far ahead. I guess that’s where we’re heading for. I wish they'd make more speed. My arms are sore as they can be from hanging to this rope. Oh, gee, a real good rest and then some food is what I think I need.” The' airship kept on going fast, right toward the land until at last, they heard the engine stop its hum. The ship began to glide. "Hurrah,” said Coppy, “I'll be glad to land, | although the trip we’ve had is prob- | ably the finest trip that we have ever tried.” Just then, however, something

creaked, and, in a moment, Scouty shrieked, "The rope that we are hanging to is breaking. Here we go.” And then the rope snapped right in two. The next thing that the Tinies knew they fell and landed smack upon the water down below. (The Tinies are rescued in the next story.)

Charles Mallory Evans, Jr., commuted to New York as usual today, determined to mingle with his fellow man, despite his eminence in the world of auctioij bridge. Evans attained prominence over the week-end by dealing a bridge hand in which he received thirteen hearts. Such a phenomenon occurs once in 158,853,389,900 deals. The three other players af the table passed and Evans bid six hearts. He said today he had no reason for that particular bid, instead of the maximum of seven. “I was just rattled." he said. The hand scored 381 points, counting 125 for game.
