INDUSTRIES Os STATE WAGING HARD BATTLE Fight Extending Over Years Continued to Gain Fair Freight Rates. HARDSHIP IS WORKED Competition in Many Lines Is Made Better by Excess Costs. By CHARLES CARLL Indiana manufacturers are fighting one of the greatest but slowest battles in history for the life of industry. It is che fight against freight rates that to the Indiana producers seem unfair, compared with the rates offered by railroads to firms in other States. The battle is a long, tiresome affair, consisting of heatings and evidence gathered over years of practice and experience with the carriers that transport crude and manufactured products to and from the places where the goods are obtained and delivered. The purpose of this series is not to carry on a court hearing or offer any opinions on the situation. It is the purpose, though, to reveal to the public and the newspaper reader the condition prevalent in Indiana at this time and show, in addition to giving a general idea of how the situation comes about, actual facts and figures, revealing what manufacturers face in this battle, what the condition now is, and what attempts are being made to bring about an equalization of rates that will lessen the problem and burden on Hoosier firms. Transportation Costs Hurt Competition is conceded to be the life of trade. But many Indiana firms, handling products that are in direct competition with those produced in other markets, are suffering the jolt of not being able to “get away at the gun,” because the excess cost of transportation into the competitive fields works hardships on them at the start. The Indiana Chamber of Commerce and local Chambers of Commerce throughout the State are waging the slow battle against preferential freight rates in other territories. The battle has been in progress for years and probably will [be for many more. L- It is a nip and tuck struggle with [first one side and then the other Igaining the advantage. Several victories have bfien won by Indiana and Wiese have tended to aid the upward trend of business in this State. The matter of freight rates also has a bearing on the location of new' industries. It is an accepted fact that transportatior costs are a vital factor in the location and successful operation of manufacturing industry. Some Cities Favored It has been found that the city with preferential freight rates to and from markets has a decided advantage. Freight rates vary considerably and many plants have been located solely with the idea of receiving favorable in and out bound rates. It is well, at this time, to look briefly into the history behind the actual building of freight rates. The carriers realized the importance of transportation costs, which, in many cases, are the deciding factors, and they developed the industries and thereby increased the freight tonnage. This system was followed not only by individual carriers, but by systems, lines, and various groups. The tonnage of the favored industries increased and their position was strengthened, while others fell by the wayside. Commerce Act Amended History shows that the situation became so acute in 1906, after the Inequitablity of it was objected to strenuously, that the Hepburn Act, amending the Interstate Commerce act, gave the commission the power ;o remove discrimination and prescribe reasonable rates. Since that date this body has handled about 20,000 cases. Another group, functioning on about the same basis and for about the same purposes, is the Indiana Public Service Commission, before which objections to intrastate rates are filed. These cases usually atHck the rates specifically and not relationship. ’Sflandiana manufacturers according the traffic department of the CMamber of Commerce, are comof the following conditions: HE. The difference in rates on certain commodities between the Ohio river cities and southern points, as compared to the rates between those points and Indianapolis and other Indiana locations. Rates Are Different 2. The difference in rates from Illinois and Wisconsin to points lying between the Indiana-Illinois State lines and the Rocky Mountains and north of Arkansas and Oklahoma, as compared to those from Indiana. 3. The difference in the rates from Illinois, Wisconsin, and western points to Indianapolis as compared those to Illinois. ich of these alleged maladjustments in rates is occupying the atof Indiana firms and, in instances, as will be shown cases are pending before the Commerce Commission bring out these conditions. ;i Woman Ends Own Life ' Times Special ■ MADISON, Ind., April 2.—Mrs. ina Groves, 41, is dead of a wound lf-inflicted with a shotgun ThursH y.

Riches , Ruin Vast Network of Wires Carries Market Story to Nation.

By ELMER C. WALZFR United Press Financial Editor , YORK, April 2.—Five hours have passed and it is now but 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Stock Exchange is closed In those five hours more than 3,000,000 shares of stock have changed hands. Hundreds of persons are richer. Hundreds, poorer. There has been a flow, perhaps, of $300,000,000 out of the pockets of another. Men and women, who a dozen years ago considered Wall Street some sinister playground of the fantastically rich, now are “playing the market” dally. Joe the Barber has a tip on Steel. Winnie the Waitress knows for a fact that Radio is to rise. Tom the Department Store Clerk is risking a few hundred in Motors. That means romance, of course, but it also means work. Here is the current system: Brokers’ offices all over the United States are connected with the Exchange with a vast network of wires. The man in San Francisco can buy 200 shares of United States Steel at $l4B and before the broker wire reports the transaction cosummated he can read on the ticker tape the familiar “X 2.8.” Note those symbols. The ticker no longer can print an entire quotation. There isn’t time. The “X” stands for United States Steel; the figure “2” for 200 shares and the “8” for the last number of the quotation. Had the price been 148 Ui the ticker would have printed “8 1-2” or, in a terrific rush, merely “1-2." From 10 a. m. to 3. p. m. quotations race from the ticker. On days when trading goes wild the ticker lags behind. Sometimes it is more than a half hour late on recording sales. An orderly excitement, if such a phenomenon is possible, accompanies the market in the New York office of the United Press, where a group of experts keep constant record of each sale for publication in newspapers all over the nation. As the opening gong rings a few blocks away, every man in the United Press quotation department is near the tickers and ready. Forms are spread on the tabjles, tickers inked, pencils sharpened, erasers at hand. What those tickers are going to print is not known. Hence the opening is watched with intense interest. From the floor of the exchange are four sending stations. Messengers run into them with quotations the minute a sale has been made and each punches a tape w'hich runs until all are sent. The next senciing station picks up automatically and so on all day. The Western Union through an arrangement with the Exchange, picks up these quotations and transmits them to the various parts of the country. SON, 8, CALLS POLICE Tells Squad Father Was Drinking and Abusing Mother. Morris D. Duncan, 39, of 407 W. Merrill St., and Otha D. Kelsey, 42, of 1037 Rybolt Ave., face blind tiger charges today as a result of the desire of Duncan’s 8-year-old son to protect his mother. The boy stopped Sergeant Hodges and squad as they were driving by the Duncan home and told them that the two men were drinking and abusing his mother. The police raided the home and arrested Duncan and Kelsey when they said they found bottles of liquor in their pockets.

CHICAGO IS TENSE AS PRIMARY NEARS

B,y United. Press CHICAGO, April 2.—Chicago entered the final week of its pre-pri-mary campaign today, obviously afraid of what the week might bring in the way of bombs and bullets. On the surface the political war seemed to center in a free-for-all “mud-slinging” contest between the administration forces of Mayor W. liam Hale Thompson, State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe and Governor Len Small, against the faction headed by United States Senator Charles S. Deneen, Judge John A. Swanson and Louis L. Emmerson. Beneath this war of words, however, lay a quite open dispute between the city police, supported by the administration, and a special squad of Federal prohibition agents over the shooting of William Beatty,

Interest in Next Flight Is Shown by Flood of Queries to U. S. BY MAURITZ A. lIALLGREN United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 2. The world-wide interest created in Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s forthcoming “good will” air journey over the Atlantic and through Europe and Asia was reflected today in the numerous queries concerning his plans which embassies and legations here have made to the State Department. The first calls were received immediately after the United Press’ exclusive announcement last Friday that the colonel intended again to span the Atlantic by air and to pay courtesy calls in foreign countries. Since then the number of requests for information, which the foreign diplomatic representatives are seeking so their governments may know when to expect Lindbergh and to make preparations aeordiingly, has been increasing daily. Japanese Are Interested. Japanese officials particularly were interested in Lindbergh's plan to include their country in his itinerary and they were eager to learn the details concerning his contemplated flight across the Pacific. Four Japanese airmen are planning to make the same attempt this summer. Prominent among diplomats In quest of Lindbergh information were the Germans and Scandinavians, who w'ere pleased by the statement that the airman probably would select a northern European country for his first stop on the continent. Lindbergh was unable to include Germany or Sweden after his transAtlantic flight last May. The Swedish government at that time extended him an official invitation, which it is assumed it will renew. The State Department has informed all callers that it is not in a position to divulge any information as to Lindbergh’s itinerary until the colonel himself is ready to announce it. Inquirers were referred directly to Lindbergh for additional information. Seek to Assure Safety Measures to insure the utmost safety for Lindbergh on his transAtlantic trip were being expedited today by various government departments. While it was not expected he would make known his plans in full until he was ready to hop off, persons here interested in his newest venture, wished to have complete information and data prepared for him in anticipation of early departure. The safety factor will play a large part in the route to be selected for the trans-Atlantic flight. The Grand Circle course followed by Lindbergh on his 1927 hop may be chosen, but if another, cutting the element of risk to a minimum, can be found, it will be selected. TWO RIVALSJGNORED Senator Robinson Undecided on Taking Stump. “Issues, not personalities” will be Senator Arthur R. Robinson’s reply to the attacks of his two rival candidates for the Republican nomination for United States Senator if Robinson decides to make a speaking campaign the last three weeks preceding the primary, May 8. This was Robinson’s assertion at his campaign headquarters in the Severin where he was conferring with his supporters. “I have made no plans for a speaking campaign,” he said. “But it has never been my policy to attack a fellow Republican.” The Senator will make a nor.-po-litical address at a Masonic meeting at Jasonville tonight, and expects to visit Hammond Tuesday before returning to Washington. Attorney General Arthur R. Gilliom and Solon J. Carter, the others in the Republican senatorial prinfary contest, have been bitter in their campaign tirades against Robinson.

‘FAIRYLAND’ IS ERECTED FOR HOME EXHIBIT Small Army of Workmen Put Final Touches on Show Scene. BIGGEST IN HISTORY 'Mystery' House Is Being Completed; Unusual Displays Promised. A small army of workmen took possession of the manufacturers’ building at the State fairground to convert it into a fairyland for Indianapolis citizens who attend the seventh annual Home Show, openl ing Saturday. The Indianapolis show’ is rated as one of the three best such exhibits in the United States, the Indianapolis Real Estate Board having developed it to this enviable position. As in all such shows the sponsors are striving to outdo other years in elaborate decorations and exhibits designed to show Indianapolis the wide diversity of business and manufacturing activities centered upon the home. Like a tented city, booths were rising about the building in orderly rows. Some exhibitors already had their displays in place, and last minute touches were being put on decorations. Completing “Mystery Home" Activity centered around the “mystery model home,” being erected as a centerpiece of the exposition by the Indianapolis Home Builders’ Association. With exterior of the house practically completed, workmen were installing tile in the three large bathrooms, placing the last pieces of slate on the roof, and completing the papering of interior walls At the same time, a force of landscape gardeners under the direction of Donald O. Ruh, local landscape gardener, was setting out living trees, shrubbery and flowers in the city lot sized space in the center of which the house is located. Nearly a quarter of an acre of sod, freshly cut, was being formed into a beautiful lawn. The sod will be watered and cared for daily, in order that it will be fresh and green for the opening of the show. Several Unusual Displays Nursing of such types of show lawns, which are laid on a base of saw’dust to retain moisture, has reached the point of perfection that often it is necessary to mow the grass before the show is over. A year ago, the grass grew so rapidly that it was necessary to run a lawn mower over it before the show was opened. Several unusual displays will feature this year’s home show. In addition to the centerpiece home, two gate lodges, executed in brick -in harmonizing architecture, have been erected at each side of the front entrance to the building. An immense flower covered arbor has been erected across the entire front of the hall, forming a colorful frame for the centerpiece house. Show Modernisti Furniture One of the features of the exposition will be the first formal showing in Indianapolis of some startling examples of modernistic furniture. Several displays have been built up around the furniture. A number of exhibitors have erected smaller houses to enclose their displays. The show will open Saturday evening at 6 o’clock. It will remain open until 10:30 o'clock and will reopen at 11 a. m. Monday. Hours will be 11 a. m. to 10:30 p m. each day It will close at 10:30 p. m. Saturday, April 14. A number of special entertainment features have been arranged. The opening night will be known as “Realtors’ Night,” with members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board in attendance. Mayor L. Ert Slack is expected to open the show formally. Other nights will be given over to civic and luncheon organizations. Large delegations from real estate boards In other cities and towns will attend the show during the week. List of 150 Exhibitors The list of exhibitors this year numbers nearly 150 separate firms and individuals. They will showmore than 200 different types of building material, furnishings, electrical fixtures, plumbing supplies, cooking and heating plants and household accessories. Everything that contributes to the home complete will be on display. In fact', with the materials shown in the exposition, it would be possible, given the workmen, to erect a dozen more complete homes, equal in size to the centerpiece of the show.

A SHIP sailed each year from the docks of London. A young English boy watched the vessel glide many times down London River. “She's going to the frozen northlands,” said hangers-on about the decks. “Carrying men to the far flung posts of the Hudson Bay Company.” One day the young Englishman stood on the decks as the ship started her long journey. His bride of less than a year was at his side. “We’ll make our fortune and then come home to stay,” they caid. Thus, George Ford and his bride fared forth into the frozen north. Because a boy was fascinated with the picture of a ship carrying his countrymen into the Far North and because a girl had courage to go with him. Mrs. S. E. Blackmere. 3925 W. Sixteenth St., their daughter, claims the distinction of having been farther north than any other living white woman.

Gifts From Natives “I was the first white woman that the Ekimos had ever seen in some fur regions, and they crowded to the ship bringing me gifts,” said Mrs Blackmere. Mrs. Blackmere was one of three children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ford while they were in the service of the Hudson Bay Company in Baffin Land. All grew up to speak Eskimo as fluently as English. Mrs. Blackmere, the only girl owned, and was able to use, her first gun at the age of 6. “I never had seen a town, city, church or school until I was taken to St. John’s, New Foundland, when I was 10.” Mrs. Blackmere said. “Our mother taught us to read and write and I never had a better teacher. “When they were showing me the sights in St. John’s, I remember I thought a cow was the most wonderful thing I ever had seen. She Will Return North “I received my education in Newfoundaland, returned to Baffin Land, married, and my three children were bom. I came south seven years ago after my husband had been drowned, to give my children the advantages of education. Mrs. Blackmere told of seeing her husband die. As she stood on the bank watching him swim toward shore after a canoe in which he had been duck shooting capsized, he was dragged beneath the water by the shark. He never reappeared. “Goig back? Os course, I’m going back! Life seems so tame here,” said Mrs. Blackmere. “Up there we learned trapping, shooting and hunting—we had to, or perish. My brothers are there now.” The daughter of George Ford will return to the land of her birth. “We’ll make our fortune and then come back to stay,” said George Ford and his bride when they started on their adventure. Thirty-five years later, their task completed, the Fords sailed from Newfoundland to return to England. Three days later the wife, faithful partner of George Ford, died of pneumonia. George Ford sailed up the river co London alone.

ONE thing that Moses did at Mt. Sinai, Mr. Patton said, w r as to think his religion in the terms of his generation. “You will recall that when God spoke to Moses he identified himself as the God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob,” he said. “Why wasn’t Moses satisfied with knowing he was the God whom his father worshiped before him? According to a very large group of persons today he ought to have been but he wasn’t. The first thing that Moses asked God was for anew name and God was not offended.” Rev. Patton came to Chicago from Haverhill, Mass., in 1922.

KILLING OF 2 BANDITS MAY SMASH GANGS Police Think 2 Dangerous Groups of Thugs Are Broken Up. CONFECTIONER IS SLAIN Eight Persons Under Arrest and Two Others Sought in Shootings. Fatal shooting of two alleged bandits over the week end was believed by police today to have broken up two dangerous gangs responsible for numerous safe crackings and hold-ups in the last several months. Besides one of the bandits, Frank J. Baden, confectioner, 3501 E. Sixteenth St., was killed in a robbery. Eight persons are under arrest, one suspect was found on the Indiana State farm and two more are sought. The crime round-up, which Police Chief Claude M. Worley believes will have a healthy effect in checking the ambitions of wild youths to become bandits, began Saturday morning when Patrolman Leroy Bartlett shot Wilbur Allen, 22, of 1705 Naomi St., in a duel in a south side alley. Allen died Saturday night about the time the second alleged bandit to die was being admitted to city hospital. Many Shots Fired The second alleged bandit has not been positively identified. Police believed today he might be Freddie Thompson of Louisville. Ky. The man believed to be Thompson was found slumped in the seat of a stolen automobile in front of the Baden confectionery Saturday night, after Baden had been slain. Two bandits entered the Baden store and ordered drinks. Then they walked to the rear and covered Baden with guns. Baden leaped for one of them. The other bandit, jumped into the fight. They rolled out onto the sidewalk. Bullets began to fly. Some witnesses said as many as ten shots were fired. Mrs. Baden ran out with an empty pistol in her hand and tried to beat one of the men scuffling with her husband. One of the bandits, thinking Mrs. Baden's gun was loaded kept between the scufflers and Mrs. Baden. Left Wounded in Car Finally, amidst the hail of bullets, Baden sank to the sidewalk. The bandits scattered, some leaping into a large parked sedan and others running. They left behind one parked car in which the wounded bandit was found. Apparently he had been struck by a stray bullet from the gun of one of his pals on the sidewalk or in the other car. The parked automobile had been stolen March 26 from Twenty-Fifth St. and Central Ave. It was owned by R. W. Garstadt, 3326 Washington Blvd. Baden died in the admitting room of the city hospital. The bandit died at the hospital soon after. Detectives, following clews in papers in a suitcase in the car where the wounded bandit was found, traced two men from Louisville to Indianapolis. They obtained the address of Ernest Kirby, 31, of 228 W. Ray St., and at 3 this morning raided the place. The police arrested Kirby, Noah Lightfoot, 25; Hugh Dearing, 24, and Homer Deckard, 18, whom they believe is Homer Morris, known as the pal of Freddie Thompson. These men are not charged with banditry, but are held on vagrancy charges under SIO,OOO bonds. The alleged bandit’s body Is held pending claim by relatives. Funeral services will be held at 3 Tuesday afternoon for Mr. Baden at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles O. Britten, 2519 E. Washington St-, with burial In Crown Hill cemetery. Mr. Baden, 50, was widely known, having lived in Indianapolis all his life. As he lay wounded on the sidewalk after the battle he took his wife into his arms and told her good-by. Work on Allen Shooting Meanwhile, detectives were working on the shooting of Wilbur Allen by Patrolman Bartlett. Chief Worley commended Bartlett for his bravery in sticking to the chase until he finally felled Allen with the last bullet in his gun. Everett Perry, 20, of 1611 Harlan St., arrested at the time Allen was shot, and Leonard Wilson, 20, of Ben Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Burd, 3400 Carson St., taken Into custody later, have made statements clearing up at least fifty burglaries and safe crackings in the city in the last two months, detectives said. Burd is the father-in-law of perry. The Burds received stolen goods, police charges. Wilson is the youth who on March 9. received a suspended sentence for vehicle taking because a young girl had come into Criminal Court and told Judge James A. Collins she was to become the mother of Wilson’s child. The couple were married at the Courthouse and Wilson was permitted to go, on his promise to reform.
