LETTERS FROM CITY CHILDREN REACH SANTA ‘What a Task to Judge These/ He Exclaims As He Sees Big Bundle. Here Is another story by Holly Berry, special correspondent of The Times, accompanvinK The Tlmes-Klelnschmldt Polar expedition which found the home of Santa Claus and took movies of the kindly old fellow which are now being shown In Indianapolis theaters. BY HOLLY BERRY NORTH POLEVILLE, Eskimoland, Dec. 7.—(By Radio)—Letters —hundreds of them—written by children readers of The Indianapolis Times on the subject “Why I Like Santa Claus,” arrived at Santa’s palace today by airplane! We had scarcely finished our noon meal and were preparing to go into Santa’s library and read before the fire, when we heard a loud whirling sound over the palace. We have been expecting the letters to arrive for several days, and everyone ran out into the big yard where Santa keeps his enormous herd of wild reindeer, for it was there that the plane would light. Santa was more eager than any of us and smiled happily when the big bundle of letters was opened on the library floor. "Some Task,” Says Santa "What a task this is going to be ot judge all these letters,” Santa exclaimed. “How much time can I take,” he asked, after a pause. I assured him that he could take all the time he felt was necessary and do jt in his spare time, because the good old Christmas patron is so terribly busy now that I feel awfully sorry for him. At least I would feel sorry for him, except that he is always so happy and seems always to have a wonderful time, no matter how busy he is. Indianapolis children who wrote these letters can rest easily now—there letters are in good hands. Os course, it would be nice to know real soon who won, but after all that doesn’t make so much difference. The important thing is to have written to Santa to let him know how much you care for him. Copies Down Names While Santa read the first of the letters this afternoon I copied down the following names of Indianapolis children which I found in the books in which Santa keeps the name and record of each one of the 25,000,000 children in the world: Maxine Henthorn, Mary Henthorn, Frances Bush, Jimmy, Joan and Tommy Connor, Edwina and A GOOD THING—DON’T MISS IT Send this ad and ten cents to Foley & Cos., Sheffield and George Sts., Chicago, 111., writing your name and address clearly.

TEST LEGALITY OF APPEALS BY UTIUTYFIRMS Intent of New Statute Is Argued in Hearing on Phone Cases. * Legality and intent of Indiana’s newly adopted statute covering appeals from orders of the public service commission was argued in Marion Circuit Court Tuesday. ( Judge Harry O. Chamberlin, hearing the second appeal from public service commissiontorders under provisions of the new statute, is to rule on the question of appeal jurisdiction. Phone Case Raises Issue The question was raised when attorneys for six northern Indiana towns appeared to oppose an appeal filed by the Associated Telephone Company of Indianapolis, seeking reversal of the commission’s order, denying its authority to acquire small independent telephone companies serving the six towns and to issue securities. Carl Mote, Indianapolis attorney, is the* promoter of the plan. Arguments had scarcely begun before Judge Chamberlin when he said he was aware there was some question as to whether the appeal was within the jurisdiction of the court, or whether it should have been addressed to the courts in the communities served by the phone companies. Brief Attacks Appeal Attorneys for the protesting communities then filed a brief attacking the appeal on the grounds that: 1. “There* is no good and valid law operating” giving the Associated Telephone Company the remedy sought, or "giving this court jurisdiction.” 2. That the commission’s order Is not operative in Marion County because properties of the utilities con-

ENGINEER IS HONORED Hanley of Eli Lilly Company, Gets National Office. William A. Hanley, 4224 Central Ave., mechanical engineer for Eli Lilly & Cos., was named one of three managers of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at its annual convention in New York.

Hanley was graduated from Purdue University in 1910. cemed are not located within the county. 3. That at the time options to purchase were given the associated company, the law was to the effect that the order of the commission was final and absolute; and options and contracts were rendered that when the petition was denied, void; and the utilities are considering no sale of their properties now. Telephone companies to be acquired under Mote’s plan serve Bremen, Nappanee, North Liberty, Walkerton, Wolcott and Goodland. Passed Compromise Bill ' Despite the fact that notification of the hearing on appeal was sent the commission and the office of the attorney general, no representatives were in court from either of these offices. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom announced the opinion that the law was unconstitutional even before its passage, but it went through the Legislature in its closing days as a compromise measure, ending a protracted fight for revision of the utility laws. Mote promised to file a brief in support of his appeal and maintaining the court’s jurisdiction within ten days. The public service commission order denying the appeal said it “smacks at speculative promotion." The associated company was ordered to pay $1,542.85 costs for the commission’s Investigation.

LEAGUE URGES EQUALITY FOR NEWS Press Conference Action to Be Sent to All Nations From Geneva. Bu United Press GENEVA, Dec. 7.’—The League of Nations today decided to transmit to all Governments, with a recommendation for serious consideration, a resolution adopted by the recent world press conference, demanding equality of treatment for all foreign journalists in the distribution of official news, in transmission of news, in telegraph and telephone rates, and in censorship. The resolution was introduced at the press conference by Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press, and was intended to halt discrimination by some vernments in favor of “official” is agencies. The council adopted unanimously a report submitted to it regarding the press conference. The report recommended facilitation of telegraphic communication between Geneva and London, emphasizing that London was one of the largest transmission centers for news destined for America and the far east. In a speech, Mine-Ichiro Adachi, chief Japanese delegate, supported the report, especially that portion of it that asked the League’s transit organization to improve telegraphic facilities. Cheng Lo, Chinese delegate, also supported the report. Senor Urrutia, Colombia, insisted on the necessity for better telegraphic communication between Geneva and London because Latin America was dependent on this route to report all League council and assembly meetings.
