PHONE FIRMS 'BUY' REFUSED State Rules Against Purchase of 8 Companies. The United Telephone Company, a foreign corporation, is the real owner of the Associated Telephone Company of Indianapolis, and to authorize the purchase by the latter company of eight independent Indiana phone companies would be a violation of the Shively-Spencer utility act, the public service commission has declared. The commission ruled that despite the evidence introduced in the Marion Circuit Court it would not rescind its order forbidding the purchase. Formal order denying the petition to purchase was promulgated by the commission last year and the Associated Telephone Company appealed to the Marion Circuit Court. Companies affected by the deal are: Wolcott Telephone Company, Wolcott: Western Indiana Telephone Company. Goodland; Starke County Telephone Company, North Judson and San Pierre: Mt.

Walker, who is a Catholic, will address the Methodist / preachers’ meeting on March 5, Dr. Reisner said. The pastor told his congregation: “Mayor Walker, in his generous way, gave me permission on Friday to tell you this: “‘I no longer drink champagne nor alcohol in any form, nor have I since last September. My health is very much better without it. Then, too, while I enjoyed the exhilarating high spots from alcoholic stimulants, the low spots of the next morning collected a heavy toll. I find it more agreeable, as well as healthier, to walk on the even pathway, with no stimulant. “ ‘And, by the way, the most enjoyable dinner I ever attended in New York was the one you invited me to one year ago, given by 2,200 Methodists. It proved to me that people at a dry dinner could be hilarious and jovial and that all prohibitionists were not longfaced.’ ” Dr. Reisner went on to praise the mayor highly for his example.

BOMB TRUST IS TARGET OF NEW GHICAGOSMASH Police Cut Off Revenue of Gangs, Start General Criminal Roundup. Bit/ United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Chicago law forces sought today to crush the powerful gangs of the city by attacking them simultaneously from two sides. While police worked quietly to cut off the revenues of the gangsters by applying pressure to the beer running racket, flying squadrons arrested gunmen by the dozens in what apparently was the start of a campaign to make existence so uncomfortable for the hoodlums that they would rather flee than fight. With forty persons under arrest after a series of week-end raids, police said they were making rapid progress toward finding the leaders responsible for bomb attacks on city officials and threats against Mayor William I-lale Thompson. Most of the forty arrested were believed to be connected with the “bombing trust” which has operated here for months, contracting to set bombs at a fixed price for other gangsters and racketeers. A gang of bandit-kidnaper,s robbed the vaults of the Industrial State Bank today, after holding James Dillon, 30, cashier, prisoner for sixteen hours. Dillon was found bound and gagged in the bank today. He said he was kidnaped on his way to Bible class yesterday, and was driven about the city in an automobile, bound and gagged, all afternoon and night. The bandits obtained $35,000, a hasty checkup by bank officials indicated.
