favorably, the argument will be heard. At present the Indianapolis Power and Light Company is proceeding j with condemnation for pole sites in the Marion county courts. It was reported that, without a legal battle, they have obtained all but fifteen miles of the .'orty-seven - mile right-of-way which they desire. Whether they should have proceeded through the public service commission, rather than the courts, is the matter scheduled for debate. The commission may decide to proceed with the securities petition and take no action at this time on the intervenors' requests, it was said. Attorney Jackson Carter represented the intervenors, who were listed as property owners in the Williams Creek and Meridian Hills district, who do not want the high tension lines near their place. Gavin L. Payne appeared as prime mover in the petition. Preferred stockholders also were said to be represented among those signing the petition. They asked that an investigation be conducted to see whether the company is not earning 7 per cent on a $75,000,000, Instead of the authorized $40,000,000 valuation. Primarily they want the poles kept away, however. Such a survey would cost many thousands of dollars and is seldom made by the commission, except upon a petition to increase of decrease rates. That rule likely will hold and the request be refused today it was predicted.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Louis Star, that several Chicago reporters and minor editors grew rich on graft from gangland and officialdom. Their testimony, it was believed, would not deal directly with the Lingel murder.
