GAS RATE IS BOOSTED TO DIZZY HEIGHT Generalship of McCardle Results in $1.60 Cost at Princeton. TOP MARK IN HISTORY Opposition of Officials Is Hushed, Following Conferences. Under the generalship of Chairman John W. McCardle, public service commission approval has been given the highest, natural gas rate in the history of the commission, it ■"as learned today. The rate is $1.60 per 600 cubic feet at Princeton, Ind. The approval was given following a conference of commissioners with officials of the Princeton Utilities Company and Princeton city officials at the statehouse, Friday. It is an optional rate for gas to Princeton consumers. When the conference first got under way, the majority of the commissioners and the city officials seemed to oppose the new rate, it is said. Two Commissioners Object Objections of Commissioners Frank L. Singleton and Calvin McIntosh. having been voiced, they left the conference. Later, according to Commissioner Howell Ellis, the Princeton city attorney, C. O. Baltzell, anntunced that the city council and Mayor William S. Ennes, who was present, had approved the proposed rates. Whereupon the commission approval was granted, despite the fact that the cost of natural gas in Princeton will be considerably higher than anywhere in the state and in some business almost double by comparison. Order Is a Trial O R. Livinghouse, head of the commission tariff division, contended today that the new rates will be cheaper than artificial gas and use will be optional. He also said that the order is a trial and may be reconsidered after ninety days. Rates range from $1.60 for 600 cubic feet to 50 cents for 40,000 gross and $1.50 to 40 cents net. In certain cities of comparative size the minimum runs as low as 60 cents for 600 feet and in the highest it has never exceeded $1.50 for natural gas commission records indicate. McCarde handled the order and filed it today with Livinghouse. I CHINA WARNS FOREIGN VESSELS OF MENACE Government Refuses Responsibility Above Sam-Shui. B" United Press LONDON.

At leash they look that way to him from his precarious twelveinch perch high up among the girders. Just after he finished perusing the comic sections of the newspapers Sunday night Kelly lowered the following note to Milton Crandall, promoter: ‘ Mr. Crandall, Dear Sir: You asked me to give my impressions.
The Indianapolis Times
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS VEA Service Writer NEW YORK. May 13 —This year. Ruth Sato is a dancer. but n ?xt year she will be a producer—.f her plans materialize not on Broadway, but in the land of the cherry blossoms. She is the only Japanese chorus girl on Broadway, but in spite of her*slant, eyes, her slight, narrow body, her kimonos and her obvious oriental lineage, she is American in spirit. Nimble as her feet are. her mind is even more so. She plans to carry the American musical comedy to Japan. Now. under the popular American conception of what the Orient considers good moral entertainment. it is difficult to imagine a Broadway musical show full of bare-legged cuties gyrating to Tin Pan Aliev tunes and showering fast American wise-cracks on an audience of unemotional Japanese. But. our idea of Nippon is all wrong. ‘’Why, in the last few years, jazz music has become very popular in Japan,” Miss Sato declared. ‘My friends there say they think the Charleston is a most fascinating dance. There are big cabarets and night clubs in the Orient, and when we can't find enough musicians in Japan, we get them from the English settlements in China. "I know my people will like musical comedy The costumes are very decorative and I’ll see that the girls are farly well covered. Nudity would shock a Japanese audience —not morally, mind you, but they would consider it inappropriate and in very bad taste. “Japan fast is getting around to the occidental viewpoint, but it is not yet ready for the Follies Bergere type of entertainment.”

HUNTED KILLER BELIEVED WITH BANKSUSPECT Willard Carson, Pal of Stanley Canfield, According to Informant, DEATH FEAR EFFECTIVE j Identity of Person Giving Partnership Story Being Shielded, Bn Times Special KOKOMO. Ind.. May 13.—Willard Carson, slayer of his father and | suspected of two other murders, and Stanley Canfield, fugitive on a bank robbery charge, have become partners in a war on organized society as represented by the law. This is the information received from a person whose identity is being kept secret through fear that Carson would again turn killer. He : is suspected as. the slayer of Alonzo Whalen here two weeks ago. Whalen gave police a tip last August which resulted in Carson being wounded while escaping.

At the time of the second robbery, one of the bandits, believed to have been Canfield, remarked: “We have come back to get the rest of it.” The informant of the Carson - Canfield partnership asserts that the tip given in August by Whalen was not the direct cause of his slaying, but that he had become aware of where the two hunted men hide, and was killed because of that knowledge. $4,000 “Not Enough” Speaking the language of the un- ; derworld, the purveyor of information declared regarding the $4,000 price on Carson’s head: “It is not enough. If it were SIO,OOO. Carson would be turned up.
