PROPOSAL FOR SCRAPPIN6 GAR LINE OPPOSED Hearing Tuesday on Petition to End Indianapolis-to-Richmond Service. By Timet Special RICHMOND, Lid., March 21. Considerable opposition Is expected from residents of this section of the state to the proposal of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Easttern Traction Company to abandon the Indianapolis-Kftchmond interurban car service. Hearing on the petition will be held Tuesday in the offices of the public service commission at Indianapolis, and It is expected that a number of petitions will be presented asking that the service be retained. The city government here, it is understood, does not plan any action in regard to the matter, and it is improbable that any Richmond organizations will be represented at the hearing. Local merchants do not view the change with any apprehension, as bus service is maintained and communities using Richmond as a trading center do not patronize the traction line to any great extent. Some of the smaller communities of the section, however, among them Cambridge City, Centerville, Dunreith and Knightstown, are understood to be preparing petitions. There has been considerable speculation here as to the probable fate oi the street railway, which is controhed by the same receiver, but since this line has been operating at a profit for several years it is unlikely that it will be abandoned. Current for the operation of the city street railway has been furnished to the traction company by the municipal light plant and revenue from this source last year was approximately SIB,OOO. Officials of the Dayton Western railroad, which operates the Richmond to Dayton electric line, stated that the abandonment of the Indianapolis line will not affect their service.

Cheaper Rates Urged By Times Special NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 21. The local Chamber of Commerce has offered to take the lead in opposing the Terre Haute, Indianapolis &; Eastern Traction Company in its effort to abandon the New-castle-Dunreith line. It is understood that residents along the line are only mildly interested in abandonment, but they are clamoring for lower electric rates. Current is provided several communities through a company interlocked with the traction concern. There is a feeling that if an abandonment order is made, one reducing electric rates should accompany it.

BANK LOOT MAY TOTALS2O,OOO Six Bandits Escape After Evansville Robbery. By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 21. Authorities are without clews today to six men who late Friday afternoon robbed the North Side State bank here, obtaining loot between SIO,OOO and $20,000. Five of the robbers, all young and well dressed, entered the bank while the sixth remained at the wheel of an automobile in which the band escaped.

Ayer, president of the bank, was using a telephone. When he and the switchboard operator, Miss Clotilda Weber, were forced to raise their hands, a buzzing resulted at the board because of the uncompleted call. The bandits were starting toward the vault when their leader noticed the buzzing at the board. Evidently mistaking it for an alarm, he ordered his companions to leave. From the position in which the car was parked, it is believed the robbers headed for Illinois. Herman Fulke, cashier, was struck on the head with the butt of a revolver during the robbery. He was not seriously hurt.

A jury in Vigo circuit court Friday convicted him of first degree murder after deliberating two hours and set the punishment. An insanity plea was made by the defense.

Three-Company Combination Would Have Affected 27 Indiana Points. A game of three cornered catch with telephone holding companies, financed by rate payers in twentyseven northern Indiana towns and cities, was brought to a halt today when the public service commission notified petitioners that it has decided not to permit further merger of the properties involved. Petitioners had set a book value on the proposed merger properties of $5,500,000. Commission engineers set the value of physical assets at $3,334,670. Plan was to merge properties held by the Indiana Central Telephone Company, Indiana Telephone Service Corporation and Indiana Telephone Utilities Company into the Indiana Commercial Telephone Corporation, whiih in turn is owned by the Associated Telephone Utilities Company in which Martin Insull is interested.' High Rates Cited Commissioner Frank Singleton investigated the merits of the plan. His order in denial set out that the customers of the various companies already have been paying hevay toll to the holding companies, and that what is needed is an investigation for rate decreases instead of further merger. “I am convinced that should we have permitted this plan to succeed we would almost completely lose jurisdiction over the properties, due to the remote control under the holding company plan,” Singleton asserted. All commissoners agreed to the conclusions in his order in denial at the conference Friday afternoon. Data set out in the order included the citation of the various interlocking directorates and the vast distances between the properties. Exchanges involved include those at Elkhart, La Porte, Logansport, Stuben county, Fayette, Greencastle, Liberty, Royal Center and Putnam county. Stress was placed in the order on the various loans made to present holding companies by the local exchanges. Under the title “Utility Mergers and Rates” the Singleton order offered the following comment: “If the Home Telephone Company of Elkhart county has been able to lend from its accumulated earnings $129,000, it appears to the commission that this fact would suggest a prompt ersmination of that company’s opera\ as, to determine whether the rates to patrons should not be reduced.” Loans Eiumerated Similar references were made to the $90,000 loan of thf Fayette Telephone Company, $30,000 from the La Porte County Telephone Company, and $20,000 from the Steuben County Telephone Company. “The commission has learned by experience that rate adjustments can be secured more easily and more equitably before the merging of operating units than after such merging,” he order concludes. It also takes a stand for retention of local exchange authority in telephone operation. Gary Railways Company was granted authority by the commission to increase street railway fares at Gary from 8 cents to 10 cents, with provision for a 40-cent weekly pass entitling the holder to pay a 5-cent fare. Indiana Service Corporation, Insull concern, was granted permission to substitute bus for street car service at SVabash,
