1926 GAS GAIN OVER U 1925 Company Paid 23 Per Cent on Common Stock Last Year. ALSO BOOSTED SURPLUS Substantial Additions to Plant From Earnings. of 23 per cent dividends on the common stock, an addition to its plant to the value of $1,048,506, an Increase in its balance sheet of $707,767.26 bringing the total company value to over $11,000,000, is shown in the financial report for 1926, filed today with the public service commission by the Citizens Gas Company. In addition to the regular dividend of 10 per cent, to which it is limited in its charter, the company paid the holders of the $2,000,000 of common stock at 13 per cent “arrearage,” the same amount „which had been paid in 1925. The total operating revenues of the company increased $226,410.24 over the preceding year. The corporate surplus account was increased by $123,240.31 and now totals $1,153,295.65. During the year the company sold 2,937,641 thousand cubic feet of gas, an increase for the year, which the report says cost $1,423 a thousand feet to produce against a cost of $1.3261 in 1925. The earnings from the residuals were $3,433,690.38, an increase of $298,218.08 over 1925. Operating expenses in 1926 were $361,781.31 greater than in 1925. Wages for 1926 were $1,221,047.80, an increase of $88,004.57. The preferred stock of $1,000,000, the common stock of $2,000,000 and the funded indebtedness of $4,788,000 remained the same as in 1925. The company paid $15,714.14 less in taxes in 1926 than it did in 1825. Cut Last Week The public service commission last week announced that there would be a reduction of the gas rates of 10 cents a thousand cubic feet to domestic users, an estimated total to consumers of $331,000, Announcement was made that Howell Ellis, appointed early in January as a member of the commission, had spent “months of intensive study" of the gas company and its finances, the report of which was filed and available to the commission and the public only today. Charter Provisions Under the charter of the company provision was made that the holders of common stock would be limited to dividends of 10 per cent a year, and that after such dividends had bee paid, excess earnings should be applied to the cancellation of the stock certificates at their face value of $25 a share and when all certificates had been cancelled, the property should be turned over to the city to be owned by the city and either operated or leased by It. The company during lean years failed to meet the 10 per cent common stock guaranteed dividend. This amounted to about a 30 per cent total arrearage at the beginning of 1825. In 1925 the company erased 13 per cent of this arrearage and agdin in 1P26 met 13 per cent, leaving only about 5 per cent arrearage to be met before the charter provision, by which the city can buy the company at the face value of the certificates, $2,000,000, becomes effective.

BABY PRONOUNCED DEAD TIGHTENS HOLD ON LIFE Brown-Eyed Infant Saved by Artificial Respiration as Used in Case of Alfred Frick.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 14.—A mite of a baby—brown-eyed, 20-months-old Justine Braley—squirmed and kicked in the children’s ward of a Chicago hospital todaay, unmindful of the fact that man and science had given her life after she had been pronounced dead. Tuesday the child, after having pneumonia for several days, ceased breathing. She was considered dead. Dr. A. J. Ehrlich recalled that at the same time out in Evanston man and science were battling to make breathing possible for Alfred Frick, who was suffering from paralysis of the diaphragm.

Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 14.—The name "Charlotte Blake,” scrawled over and over in a romantic ydung girl’s hand in a school copy book, was the slender clew today on which relatives based a search over half a dozen States for Mary G. Cabell, 15. Miss Cabel, daughter of Hartwell Cabell, wealthy lawyer, disappeared last Wednesday. Many members of the extensive Cabell family, of which James Branch the writer, is a member, live in Texas and Virginia, and the search centered there. The copy book, in which the girl had practiced writing “Charlotte Blake,” was found among her effects at the exclusive Spence School which she attended. Police believed Miss Cabel was preparing to disappear and intended using the name. She was being sought under that alias. Miss Cabell was last seen on Wednesday, when she visited a Fifth Ave. shop and bought a complete mourning outfit. She had been greatly upset by the recent death of a favorite half-brother, Lieut. P. F. Cabell, army air service, who was killed In an accident in Texas. Although he already had been buried, she told a clerk in the store she was go“lng to Dallas for the funeral. Relatives in Dallas, however, have not seen her. Miss Cabell cashed a check for SIOO in the store, paying only part of It on her purchases and charging the remainder. She wore nearly SI,OOO in Jewelry when she disappeared, relatives said. Relatives were convinced v Miss Cabell had not been kidnaped and that a love affair played no part in her disappearance. MURDER CASE NEAR END Croarkin’s Fate Expected to Be Placed In Jury’s Hands Tomorrow. Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 12.—Pale-faced and blank-eyed, Harold J. Croarkin —on trial for the murder of 6-year-old Walter Schmith Jr.—today awaited the State’s final attempt to send him to the gallows. Closing arguments in the case opened this morning and indications arc that State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe and Joseph P. Savage, special assistant prosecutor, will make a vigorous plea for the death sentence. It is unlikely the case will go to the jury before late tomorrow.

Ehrlich started artificial respiration bn the baby. For hours a rhythmic pressure was kept on the baby’s lungs, each pair of the four taking turns. As the minutes wore on the doctors administered adrenalin and oxygen, but there was little signs of life. Suddenly, after almost four hours of work, the baby gave a slight gasp and started natural breaching. The artificial respiration was continued for several minutes more and the baby’s eyes opened and doctors said normal respiration was taking hold. Since that time the baby was recovered from the effects of pneumonia and today was reported to be almost normal again.

, ’ / Fisheries, today pointed out that taxpayers are not getting value received for money expended under the present political form of government. The College Ave. bridge which was completed in 1905 is an outstanding example of wastefulness of public funds, Ritter declared. Constructed with proper materials and workmanship, such a structure should stand for centuries if it had been erected on a proper foundation, he pointed out. “The inadequate foundation was unable to withstand the erosion of the water. Failure to drive proper piling and protect the piers from weathering,” doubtless caused the cracking,” he said. “We never will get away from such extravagance until business like principles, such as advocated in the city manager form of government, are adopted by our city and county administrations,” he said. “The sinking of the College Ave. span should be a signal to all wideawake citizens to rally to the support of the business and professional men' who are advocating the city mananger form for Indianapolis. “Lethargy of taxpayers in past yeras Is responsible for the deplorable conditions which are forced on us today. Sinking of the College Ave. bridge and tie precarious condition of the Central Ave. structure serve to bring to light the inefficiency with which public officials, elected under the political system, handle the people’s busniess. “In old Venice bridges hundreds of years old are still standing and serviceable. But our modern engineering, coupled with political graft, gives us a bridge which caves in at the end so twenty-two years’ service,” he said. DEPLORES INDIANA’ S SCANDALS Ray Long, Eminent Editor, Says Political Stench Hurts State. Byy Eldora Field That Indiana politicp need cleaning up is the very positive conviction of Ray Long, edtor of the Cosmoplitan Magazine and other publications, who war in Indianapolis today. Long, who lives in New York, and was formerly an Indianapolis newspaper man, rising from a “cub reporter” to a managing editor, declares he has the warmst kind of place in his heart for the Hoosier State, but says it is highly disconcerting to lovers of Indiana to “see the miserable kind of advertising Indiana gives herself by breaking periodically into the front pages of the big metropolitan dailies with political scandals.” Admires Courage “Not that I’ mcriticising the publication of such stories when they are unearthed,” he hastened to say. “In fact, I greatly admire the courage of a paper which takes first steps and is not afraid to expose rottenness, but it does seem as if Indiana could avert conditions which re-, suit in such pitiable spectacles as the Governor of the State being sent from his office to occupy a criminal’s cell, a judge of an Indiana town making an Incredibly asinine show and rnak things as the Stephenson affair. “Big enterprises contemplating Indiana as a field of operation must certainly take such indications of rank political conditions into consideration. It’s most unfortunate advertising for Indiana.” Taste Changing Long, switching to literary matters, declared that the taste of the American reading public Js the finest in the world and has made tremendous advances in the last ten years. “Never was there such tremendous interest in serious reading,” he said. “There’s no other country where a bookbook of the calibre of ‘The Story of Philosophy,’ could be a ‘best seller.’ The vogue for really serious reading began with H. G. Well’s, ‘Outline of History.’ "Just as we have the greatest country in the world, we have the greatest reading public. It’s stimulating to any American to consider this, and I am impressed with the intelligence of the mass of people which makes this statement a fact.”

PROBE FAKE TICKETS TO TOURNAMENT Anderson Authorities Aided in Investigation by S. H. S. Officials. 300 ARE COUNTERFEIT High School Students Here Victimized. Anderson police came to Indianapolis today to find who printed more than 300 counterfeit tickets for the regional basketball games at Anderson high school gymnasium, Saturday. Many Indianapolis high school students were victims of the counterfeiters and were denied entrance to the gymnasium after the fraud was discovered. Investigation turned to Shortridge High 'School here, inasmuch as two students caught with supplies of the tickets in their possession were from there. No Stock Found Principal George Buck said that a preliminary inquiry disproved the theory that the tickets may have been printed in the high school printing establishment there. He said no paper stock, such as was used in the printing of the tickets was found and that the presses also showed no signs of having been used. Detectives may go to the printing establshments of the other high schools here. Principal Buck, however, said that Shortridge officials would cooperate with Anderson police and go to the’ bottom of the affair. One of the victims went to Shortridge this morning and identified a student, not before involved, as one who had sold him four of the fraudulent tickets. Capt. Lee Kaufman and a detective from Anderson conferred with Detective Captain Jerry Kinney. Kinney assigned Detective Arthur Fields to the case. Regular Price The tickets were sold for the regular price of sl. Two Shortridge students were questioned by Anderson police and held until Sunday afternoon when they were released because police were not able to gain absolute proof that they printed the tickets. The pair, however, will be the center of the investigation at Shortridge today, which probably will involve two more students. One of the young men caught selling the counterfeit tickets knocked down an Anderson patrolman who was holding him and escaped because the officer could iA>t fire into the crowd. ” The license of the auto in which the youth fled was obtained. Statehouse records showed the licenses was Issued to a man on N. Meridian St. He is being sought for questioning. Gym Overcrowded Discovery that counterfeit tickets were being sold was made when the afternoon games were in progress and the gymnasium became overcrowded. Doorkeepers noted the difference in the grade of paper and the type of the tickets. Sale of nearly 400 bonaflde tickets were stopped by C. D. Rotruck, athletic manager of the Anderson high school to stop further overcrowding. When counterfeits were discovered Anderson school officials immediately began preparation for combating reoqcurence at the night session. Anderson police manned the doors and every ticket presented was closely scrutinized. The different type and paper was detected readily and the 800 to 400 holders of the fake tickets tvere forced to buy regular tickets. Many of the students unable to muster hnough money to do this were forced to stand outside and get the returns of the Technical-Sharps-ville returns shouted to them by those inside. I. V. Busby, Anderson prosecuting attorney, and C. B. Bonner, Anderson printer, who printed the original tickets and who verified the forgery, were to carry on the investigation in Indianapolis today. The ticket forgery was forgotten for a short time after the last afternoon game in which Technical defeated Anderson. A Tech student parade, celebrating the victory, was broken up when they were showered with rotten eggs at the main downtown intersection. Anderson police made no arrests and the hurlers of the eggs escaped. It was stated that Junior Dahnke, a Technical studenj, was one of those who had been victimized by the fake ticket sellers, but this was ,found to be untrue.

Here is the first rlose-up picture of how the floor of the College Ave. bridge is dropping, piece by piece, into Fall Creek, as one of the piers slowly settles. Only a few persons have had a chance to actually see the damage close-up because police vigilantly keep all but officials, engineers and such newspaper men as cau show valid business from setting foot on any part of the bridge. Ernest J. Pearson, Times staff photographer, risked his life in getting this picture, as engineers say this section of the bridge is likely to topple into Fall Creek at any moment.

Resolutions of Works Body > Not According to Law, Says Attorney. Legal technicalities today threatened to hold up for a month the rebuilding or repair of the College Ave. bridge across Fall Creek, which, according to engineers, is on the verge of toppling into the stream. The bridge, which was closed to traffic Friday due to the sinking of the northeast pier, has sunk one inch in thirty hours, making the total sinkage two feet eleven and a half inches, Patrolman T. Muse, on duty at the bridge, said street car engineers declared after an inspection this morning. Held Illegal The resolution passed by the board of works Friday fqr the immediate advertising for bids for the repair of the bridge and for anew bridge is illegal, according to City Attorney John K. Ruckclshaus. “Council must first authorize a bond issue,’’ Ruckelshaus declared. “After the bond issue has been passed fifteen days must be allowed for the people to appear before the State tax board to protest. After this the board must advertise for bids two weeks before it can let the contract.” Roy C. Shaneberger, president of the board, said he did not know the board would do. Want Steed “We want all the speed possible In building anew bridge,” he declared. “It will be inconvenient enough as it is and the sooner we get started the better. I am sure that we will pass a resolution for anew bridge.” The board met this afternoon to consider the situation. Councilman Walter R. Dorsett declared that the council would not hold a special session to pass the bond issue immediately to speed up the work. “We are going to know where every penny of the taxpayer’ money is going before we pass a bond issue of any kind,” he asserted. “They will have to show us exactly where the procedure of the board of works is illegal and why.” The additional sinking of the pier has widened the lengthwise gap in the roadway of the structure a foot, and the creek now is from six to seven feet wide and sixty feet long. | May Collapse The structure may collapse at any time, the street car company engineers said, according to Muse City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas said the city will make no further efforts to keep track of the sinkage of the structure. "We are going ahead with plans for the repair of the bridge and for anew one,” he said. “When the bridge finally gives away we will know definitely which plan will bo the most feasible.” The greatest difficulty at the bridge is keeping off the crowds of cuplous ones, Oberleas said. Crowds go down the bank under the hanging structure. MOTHER’S LOVE WINNING EIGHT Fatal Shooting of Son, 14, Shock to Woman.

KELLOGG RETURNS AFTER REST WITH TROUBLE WAITING Mexican, Chinese and Nicaraguan Problems Before Secretary of State. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, March 14.—Secretary of Stato Kellogg came back to his office today after a fortnight’s recuperation in the South to find the same .old problems and some new ones. The scretary’a associates thought he did not look well, and noted his irritation over recurring reports that he will resign. Mexico, China and Nicarauga held Kellogg's attention today. The reports on American interests in those countries, as given to him by his subordinates, were not optimistic. In connection with Nacaraugh, the secretary disturbed by the hue and cry over an alleged department order last fall to American Charge D’affaires Dennis to secure removal of Chamarra and election of President Diaz. Dennis now submitted his res gnation, charging that wealth and social position Influence diplomatic promotions. Mexican relations were described as more critical than at any time since the United States recognized that government. The virtual ultimatum served on the Calles government by Kellogg two weeks ago still stands. Alleged Mexican interference in Central America and her alleged confiscatory land-oil laws are the basic issues, together with charges of official Mexican propaganda here. Reports to Kellogg on China showed that Chinese acceptance of his proposals Is not in sight. The civil war there draws closer to Shanghai, where 5,000 Americans are endangered, despite a United States armada and marine force ready to fight to protect them.

DEARTH IN COURT AS ‘WAY OUT’ Friend of Judge Files Suit Here Asking for a Successor. GOVERNOR IS DEFENDANT And Jackson’s Lawyer Feels It Can’t Be Done. A move to get the question of Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth's right to occupy the bench into court in friendly hands was begun today by attorneys for Dearh. The move was in the form of a suit to mandate Governor Ed Jackson to appoint a successor to Dearth, filed In Circuit Court here. Attorney E. R. Tomplen of Muncle, who filed the suit, said he expected to obtain a hearing some time this week. Earlier in the day Supreme Court, on motion of Thomas V. Miller, Muncie attorney, dismissed the petition for a writ of prohibition against Dearth occupying the bench, filed Friday on behalf of eight Muncie citizens who are defendants In suits pending in Dearth's court at Muncie. “Long Chance” Effort The latest move of the Dearth contingent was seen as a “long chance” effort to block the impeachment rial of Dearth before the State Senate March 21. Attorney Frederick Van Nuya, retained by Dearth, announced earlier In the day that a suit to mandate Governor Jackson to appoint a successor to Denrth, because he is under impeachment charges of suppressing the press and permitting Jury irregularities, would Iks filed In Circuit Court hero some time today. Templen filed the suit for George Dudleston, administrator of the estate of his half-brother, Ralph Dudleston. The administrator la involved in a suit pending in Dearth's court. Teinplen is a former partner of Clarenco RCimdum, close friend of Dearth. Bcnaduni is one of those who wrote a letter of - oendolence to D. C. Stephenson after “Steve” wae convicted of murder. Entirely Friendly The entire “friendliness” of the suit is guaranteed for Dearth because of the fact that when the Governor is sued Attorney General Arthur L. Gllllom by law acta an his attorney. The Governor already has refused to appoint a successor to Denrth upon an opinion from Oillioin that tho law under which Impeachment was voted by the House of Representatives is unconstitutional. Van Nuys told newspapermen that they could get coplea of the mandamus suit at hla office. This proceeding ia the sains kind of auit which the Muncls Bar Assoclation last week refused to be led' Into by friends of Dearth. A subcommittee of the bar refused to act when it learned that the skeleton of the proceedings hod been prepared by Van Nuys and that a suggestion as to mandamus had been made by Gllllom. Friend V’s.
