UTILITY GROUP GETS SETBACK IN HOUSE VOTE Judiciary A Committee Report Rejected by 59-29 Count. KISTLER’S IRE ROUSED Author of Bills Asserts He Was Denied Chance to Explain Measures. Utility forces in the house of representatives received their first sharp defeat in several sessions today, when members voted 59-29 to reject the unanimous report of judiciary A committee and pass on to second reading the measures which would revolutionize rate fixing methods. Charges that he had not been Riven opportunity to appear before the committee and explain his bills, although promised that this would be granted, were made by Representative Cecil J. Kistler (Rep., Elkhart >, who, with Edward E. Eikenbary (Dem., Wabash), is an author of the companion measures. Utility rate making methods used by the public service commission were scored by Kistler, who asked: ' Have you seen a public utility applying to the commisison for a reduction of rates during this depression? Every other business has brought down the price of its commodities. Hits Partican Stand ‘ Party lines are immaterial when It comes to a question of regulating the utility business. We all, whether Democrat or Republican, must buy water, gas, and electricity. This is a public question.” The debate was precipitated when the committee’s unanimous report lor. indefinite postponement for the first of the two measures was read. This bill provided that valuations for rate making purposes shall be on the basis of original cost of equipment and. materials, less depreciation, instead of the present method of computing rates on the reproduction value. It also orders that no utility shall manufacture or sell apparatus or articles designed to consume its product if the property and plant used for such manufacture or the overhead for selling is Included in the valuation of the utility when rates arc being fixed. Changes Court Procedure The bill would have appeals from decisions of the public service commission taken to the state supreme court and from there to the United States supreme court, instead of to the fedpral district court, as at present. The first bill would abolish the public service commission while the second re-enacts the law with the changes. Kistler explained his bill and asked that the measure be sent on to second reading, despite the opposition report of the judiciary A committee. Fabius Gwin (Dem., Dubois and Martin), committee chairman, explained that the bills had been turned over to a special committee for consideration, which reported that they were unworkable. He declared they should be sent back to Another committee for consideration. Kistler rose to his feet and shouttd: “I think that if I had been ’given a chance to appear before the committee there would Pot have "been a unanimous report. Gwin promised me a chance to appear before his committee, but I didn’t get 4t. Charges Delay Sought "The only reason Gwin wants it Kent back to another committee is for delay." The roll call showed that the committee report was reversed and Delph L. McKesson (Dem., Marshall) declared: "A remarkable thing has happened. Kistler could hav# appeared before the committee for five years and would not have obtained a favorable recommendation. The bills are not workable. But the house, by voice vote, passed both measures on to second reading.

RED CROSS AID FIGHT 'N HOUSE Long-Deferred Battle Is Opened on Floor. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The long-defer:;ed struggle on the floor of the house over the $25,000,000 Red Cross relief appropriation opened today. Nearly the full membership was on hand. The interior department bill, to which the disputed appropriation was attached by the .senate as an amendment, was called up shortly before 12.30 p. m. A roll call immediately was ordered preliminary to the two hours of scheduled debate, following which a vote must be taken. Meanwhile, senate Democrats met with Minority Leader Robinson and formally accepted President Hoover’s challenge on relief policies for the destitute this winter. They agreed on a four-part platform: 1. Appropriation of $25,000,000 for general relief. 2. Allocation of $5,000,000 of the $45,000,000 drought relief appropriation for the assistance of co-opera-tive organizations. 3. Appropriation of $3,000,000 for medical and sanitation purposes. 4. Use of federal farm board wheat to feed the hungry. All the above projects are pending in congress. The Democrats accompanied the statement of their program with an unqualified threat to reject or filibuster the interior department appropriation bill if the relief appropriation is removed.

AVERTS DEATH TfliAL Slayer Suspect Likely to Go to Asylum. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 30. George Sherman Myers, charged with kidnaping and murdering Marverine Appel, 9, last August, l / never be placed on trial, it was indicated today. Instead, he may be taken before Lewis W. Hammond, special judge, and adjudged to be without sufficient mental powers to stand trial. Under this procedure, favored by both state and defense attorneys, he would be committed to an asylum. Myers’ commitment, however, would provide for his return to stand trial on the charges should he recover, but it was doubted that he ever would be released.

FIRE PERILS RLOCK Stubborn Blaze Conquered After Long Fight. Several buildings in the 300 block Virginia avenue were threatened today when flames broke out in the upper story of a brick and wood structure at 335-39 Virginia avenue. Firemen battled the flames for an hour and the large amountof smoke attracted the attention of hundreds of persons and resulted in a traffic jam that extended for blocks. The fire, believed to have been caused by a faulty flue, started in the wooden, empty top story of the structure and spread into vacant apartments below. Damage was estimated at $2,000. Water damage was caused in business places on the first floor of the structure. They are Hulskamp saw works, Frank Sathl barber shop and Abe Harris cigar store.

INCIDENT IS forgotten; SAYS IL DUCE Stimson Is Notified That Apology to Mussolini Is Satisfactory. OPEN TRIAL IS SOUGHT General Butler Wants Details of Court-Martial Be Made Public. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The Italian government today notified Secretary of State Stimson that the apology of the United States for the remarks of Major-General Smedley D. Butler regarding Premier Mussolini of Italy Is satisfactory. Italian Ambassador De Martino delivered to Stimson a communication from Mussolini himself saying that the incident is now closed and he already has forgotten the matter. The message which was addressed to De Martino said: “I felt sure that I would obtain just and prompt redress from the fairness, the loyalty and the friendship of the American government, and the American people w'hose respect for truth is well known to me. ‘Will you please communicate to the federal government that I consider closed the incident which, for my part, I already have forgotten.” Heflin Voices Views Senator Heflin (Dem., Ala.) today protested to the senate against Stimson’s apology to Italy. “I can’t understand why we should apologize to Mussolini,” .he said. ‘‘l would investigate the facts before subjecting this great general to humiliat ; on.” Butler is pow awaiting courtmartial for uttering the remarks, which included references to II Duce as a “war dog.” Heflin described Mussolini as “the most red-handed tyrant on the face of the earth.” He referred to him also as a “mad monarch.” An open trial will be sought by General Butler. Deny Hoover Action Such trials usually a.e held behind closed doors and the navy department indicated today that it did not expect to make an exception in Butler’s case. Secretary Adams is known to be particularly anxious that Butler’s letter to him, admitting the truth of reports of the marine general’s address at Philadelphia and said to be couched in caustic terms, shall not become public. There were numerous reports that Butler intends to resign, but no word was forthcoming from Quantico, Va., the marine post where Butler is under technical arrest. One report from Atlanta said Butler planned to resign in order to make a lecture tour. At the White House today reports that President Hoover had directed the moves of Navy Secretary A.dams and State Secretary Stimson in the Butler case again were denied. It was explained that Adams acted entirely according to regulations laid down in the navy manual to cover such matters. FOOD FUND IS BOOSTED Total of $3,045 Contributed for Aid of Hungry Pupils.

Measures Would Relieve Owners of Property, Unable to Pay. Suiting action to words, the Indiana senate today passed and sent to the house of representatives two bills to prevent or soften the blows of auctioneers’ hammers on property scheduled to be sold Feb. 9 for approximately $10,000,000 delinquent taxes. Known as Senate Bills 93 and 94, the measures, as explained and championed by Senator Alonzo H. Lindley (Rep., Fountain, Vermilion and Warren), their author, would: Senate Bill 93—Eliminates necessity of paying taxes due for the current year by purchasers of property sold for delinquent taxes Feb. 9 and eliminate immediate payment of such taxes upon redemption. Senate Bill 94—Eliminate entirely the tax sales of Feb. 9 by declaring a one-year hioratorium, and providing also for amortization of delinquent taxes over a four-year period. Passed to Third Reading On the first measure, the vote was 41 to 2 for passage and on the second, 37 to 8. A third and companion measure, Senate Bill 95, which would have declared a moratorium for one year on sale of property for non-payment of Barret law assessments, was returned to second reading so that it might be amended to eliminate objectionable features. The senate suspended the rules to jpass to third reading the Weiss house bill, similar to Senate Bill 93, but eliminating the 10 per cent penalty as well as current taxes upon redemption of property sold for delinquent taxes. Amendment Adopted Still further attention was given tax relief when the senate resumed consideration of the Hartzell bill to repeal provisions of the tax laws which exempt fraternal property from taxation, except where used for educational or benevolent purposes. On second reading today, Senator J. Clyde Hoffman (Rep., Marion) offered an amendment to postpone the taking effect of the measure until Jan. 1, 1936. An amendment offered by Senator Winfield Miller (Rep., Marion) and adopted Thursday placed back on the exempt list “properties owned and used for securing income for the benefit of such institutions, individual associations or corporations.” This amendment still clung to the bill upon its recommitment.

JACOB TRIAL IS NEAR JURY State, Defense Rest in Murder Case. Case of Miss Dorothy Jacob, 22, on trial for murder of her paramour, Robert M. Morrison, will go to a criminal court jury probably late this afternoon. Both state and defense rested their cases before noon, and final argument will be limited to one and one-half hours for. each side.

LINTON SEEKS FUNDS TO AID FAMILIES OF MINERS LEFT IN NEED BY BLAST DISASTER Fifty Children Made Fatherless and Score of Women W T idowed; Emergency Too Great for Town to Bear Alone; Ask Help. MAN REPORTED DEAD FOUND ALIVE Death List Reduced to 28 When Fred Reed Is Located; Managed to Escape When Flame Swept Tunnel and Went Home. BY CHARLES C. STONE State Editor. The Times LINTON, lnd., Jan. 30.—Fate smiled grimly today and erased the name of Fred Reed from the list of victims, reducing the toll of the Little Betty mile disaster Wednesday to twenty-eight. Standing on a street corner of his home town, Jasonville, this morning Reed grinned as he echoed the historic quotation of avxark Twain that “reports of my death are slightly exaggerated.’, While Reed\name was flashed throughout the country Thursday in the list of victims, he stayed at home with his wife and three children, having returned to them a few hours after the blast that killed his mates. He was in the tunnel when the “flaming cyclone” swept it, but managed to escape, and was in the first load of miners to reach the surface after the mishap.

Bodies of the victiirs were not counted accurately Thursday, because as they left the mine they were distributed not only in Linton, but several surrounding small towns in which many of them lived. Mine officials said Reed had been in the hole when the explosion came, and, unable to find him, assumed he was one of the dead. One body was identified as that of Reed, but because of the blackened skin, distorted features, and scorched and mangled condition of the bodies, mistakes in identification were easy to make. Saddened Linton is busy with preparations for funerals of the twenty-eight men who died in an explosion, and with measures to help some fifty children made i fatherless and a score of women widowed by the disaster. Burials to Be Saturday Most of the dead will be buried Saturday. There will be no collective service, each family caring for its own dead. There has been no delay in extending aid to the living as plans for last rites for the victims advanced. Hardly had the last of the blackened bodies been removed from the mine, shortly before sunrise Thursday morning, when city officials, the Greene and Sullivan counties Red Cross chapters, Linton Associated Charities Community Fund and Salvation Army had representatives interviewing bereaved families. Outside Aid Is Asked Thursday afternoon these groups were represented at a meeting in city hall. Governor Harry G. Leslie, who had arrived here from Indianapolis several hours previously, contributed SI,OOO from his emergency fund to be used to meet immediate needs of their children and widows. He was advised that the Red Cross and Community Fund together have a like amount available for the same purpose. W. J. Hamilton, banker, mine operator and merchant, was elected relief chairman, and Ray E. Singer, secretary. The chairman appointed Dr. E. V. Bull, Linton mayor; L. W. Warner, D. R. Scott, E. A. Powell and Joseph Haseman as his coworkers. It was decided that the need is too great for Linton to bear alone, and that contributions from outside the community would be accepted. Among the first offers of aid was that from the Sullivan county Red Cross. The Little Betty mine is in that county, while Linton, although only a few miles distant is in Greene county. Children Must Be Cared for Thursday night groceries and other necessities were taken into more than one home as relief work passed from conversation to action. Mayor Bull during the city hall meeting pointed out that immediate aid, while of much importance, should not overshadow the work to be done over a period of years in caring for the children made fatherless. He estimated that this phase of the disaster would be felt for the next fifteen years. Data was gathered Thursday by Albert C. Dailey of Knightsville, state mine inspector, as the preliminary step of an investigation of

DEADLINE EXTENDED More Time Given by State for Auto Licenses.

the disaster which will include an inquest by the Sullivan county coroner. The cause of the explosion doubtless never will be determined. Those who might have been able to reveal it are dead. Theory njost often expressed is that-gas liberated when some abandoned workings were opened became ignited. As miners here discuss the explosion, many are bitter in their declaration that wood brattices were permitted to remain in the mine. They assert that had brick or concrete been used, the force of the explosion would have been checked within a small area. If their contention is well founded, an official of the operating company, Peter Donie, vice-presi-dent and' superintendent, has, like the workers, paid with his share of sorrow. His brother, Martin Donie. is among the dead. Survivors Not to Quit Os the thirty-eight men in the mine at the time of the blast, the nine who were brought out alive arc not expected to suffer any ill effects, from burns and minor cuts and bruises. Don Burris is in the Freeman hospital here and Joe Wallace is a patient at the Mary Sherman hospital in Sullivan. The other seven men were Lotus Hale, Ben Snyder, William Bedwell, Jesse Crouse, Herman Brown, Charles Love and Jewie Wellington. Hale's hands were burned severely and the same injuries were suffered by Brown and Wellington. Burris, ill from the effects of gas. will remain in the hospital a short time to guard against contracting pneumonia. He and Earl Bedwell, who died in the local hospital, were first men removed alive from the shaft. None of the nine is disposed to quit a miner's life as a result of their experience. When asked about their plans for the future, they reply almost resentfully, “what’s a man to do? He must work for a living.” Town Is Grief Stricken The hundreds of visitors to Linton Thursday were greatly impressed with the able manner in which a trying situation was handled. Everywhere there was order and quiet. Nor was courtesy forgotten. That's coal mining—every 100,000 tons wrested from the earth takes so many human lives and the miners and their families are resigned to the situation. But grief is none the less poignant because of those cold statistics. In Linton Thursday you heard no one whistling or humming a snatch of a song. In the yards of schools, children were standing about silent. There was no play. Children of men who work in mines learn early of the danger in the bosom of mother eatfh. Otto Hale's death left several children fatherless. Less than six months ago, the family home and all its contents burned. The family, helped by the community, was jus* getting back to comparative comfort when the disaster plunged them deeper in despair than ever. Many Widows Left Among the others who left widow.and children are Earl Bedwell. six children; Lotus and James Mitchell, brothers, three each; John and Julian Letot, brothers, two each; Henry Metz, four; John McPhail and Don Newkirk, three each; Homer Robertson, Dean Phipps, Hubert Butler, William Brown and Clarence Cooper, two each. Bobby, 5, son of Lonie Hale, who came out of the mine unscratched, was not much impressed by the desire of The Times photographer to take his picture. He scampered out of the house to play, then went to a neighbor's home. He wouldn’t heed his mother’s calls. He refused to return with a boy sent to bring him home. His father finally persuaded him to face the camera. But Bobby's sister, Rosemary, a pert little miss of 9, is different. Summoned from a school near by, she ran all the way home to get her picture in the paper. Hale was one of a group of seven who were in the mine for sixteen hours after the explosion.
