‘WE ARE NOT fixed: asserts INSULLJACKER Rappaport Urges City Take Up Utility Move to Buy Street Cars. i Continued from Pag* J ~ same thing Insull proposes to do,” he continued. “Get your pencil out and you’ll find those things. “If the city can’t do it, there is no better man than Insull, who will put in a very efficient system at a very high cost.” McKinney then declared the city “later may discuss public ownership. “We’d like to make a deal on the present franchise,” he concluded. “If we can't do it we can quit and start over again like any other business deal.” Reviewi Financial Setup Hombrook’s opening statement was preceded by presentation of a resolution of the Merchants’ Association of Indianapolis stating desirability of proceeding promptly, although cautiously, with negotiations. The Indianapolis Clearing House Association also favored this course. Hornbrook limited his statement to a review of the financial setup of the street car system, adding that it was a serious problem, “not to be solved by sitting quietly by,” and that the Insull organization should be guaranteed operating expenses and a fair chance. “I have not been ‘fixed,’ nor has any other attorney or business man on the committee,” Rappaport said in the first part of his prepared address. “Our integrity is such that can not be questioned and professional advice is needed on a project of such magnitude. In praising Insull’s ability Rappaport said there are few concerns “with the money and vision to take over operation of a company of this kind.” “Can’t Find Any Horns” “I do not have the pleasure of personally being acquainted with Samuel Insull," Rappaport declared. “I have seen photos of him and have not been able to discover any horns or hoofs.” He indorsed the proposal as the only one now giving the rights of the stockholders any consideration. He said receivership would mean annihilation of present stockholders. On municipal ownership, Rappaport said there were many views, but this was useless to discuss because the city now was unable to take such a step. “You can see that if this problem is not solved with dispatch that the city may face an embarrassing tieup of the chief transportation facilities,” he said. “I believe the franchise should have your favorable consideration.”
Chase Supports Whole Plan Chase supported the entire plan, pointing out the necessity for the indeterminate franchise to give the company a fair chance and return on the investment. He said the service-at-cost proposition was the only one that guaranteed their company and stockholders a safe return. He guaranteed that the city and company both would profit under the arrangements as well as the street car rider. He drew a picture of fast service, new cars and efficiency that, he said, would be placed in Indianapolis by the company over a five-year period at only a 1 per cent increase In fares annually for the period. He said Indianapolis was particularly hard hit by the fall of transportation utilities in the last few years and said “capital feared such investments.” “If arrangements that protect our investors can not be made, we will drop the enterprise,” Chase said. “I hope we can reach the common goal.” Belt Line Is Proposed He outlined the advantages to the city of control of the utility through the proposed transportation commission. “Under the plan the company only will be permitted to earn enough to pay costs and get a fair return on the investment,” he said. “We have no assurance that we will get a fair return or even earn operating expenses. That’s our job to give service the people will want. “We won't about the city’s attitude. I hope when all the points are reviewed and weighed that the city will change its opinion.” t He said a belt line would be placed in effect so that citizens “can cross town without going downtown.” “If a better plan Is offered, we will step aside cheerfully,” he concluded. “We are glad to continue, too, to the satisfaction of both parties.” Wife Drinks, Charge ifjf Times Special LAPORTE, Ind.. Dec, 11.—William F. Mats alleges in a divorce suit that Mrs. Anna Matz is addicted to daily use of alcoholic beverages. He says the drinking is a source of embarrassment to him before his relatives and friends.

NOTED DANCER WILL APPEAR HERE FRIDAY
Indianapolis Athletic Club Offers Carola Goya in a Program of Spanish Dances at the Club. CAROLA GOYA, who is appearing in Indianapolis for the first time at the Indianapolis Athletic club, Friday evening, will offer a recital of Spanish dances, essentially Iberian. Each Spanish province and city has dances entirely its own and these on Goya’s repertoire, including her own creations, are interpretations, characteristic of the sections to which they are native. Assisting artists will be Miss Beatrice Weller, harpist, and Ramon Gonzalez, pianist.

The scenes all take place In a haunted house, which is conducted by a medium (Miss *Edna May), who has the skill to cause disembodied spirits to appear; make doors and windows open and close, without human agency; ghostly hands appear and disappear; people vanish in sight of the audience, and all the phenomena familiar to lovers of the “mystery” drama, and which they have learned to anticipate, are forthcoming. But the comedy is sandwiched in by such methods that, when those in the audience are preparing to shriek with terror, they change their minds and laugh. Cecil Spooner heads the list of players. Edna May is another prominent member of the cast. “The House of Fear,” comes to English’s from Chicago after playing sixteen weeks at the Playhouse.
