CITY SPEEDS PLAN TO TAKE OVER UTILITY Mayor to Call Conference for Acquisition of Gas Company. FACE FINANCE PROBLEM Entry of Natural Product Into Field Also Raises Difficulties. Citizens of Indianapolis today prepared to become the owners of their first utility—the Citizens Gas Company. Last legal barrier toward acquisition of the company was removed by a United States supreme court decision late Monday. Two problems, however, confronted the city administration: How to finance the transfer of the company and what disposition should be made to meet the problem presented by the arrival of natural gas in Indianapolis. These problems will be the subject of a conference to be held in Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan’s office at 2 Wednesday afternoon. Directors and trustees of the city's utility district will attend the conference. The supreme court Monday refused to grant a review of the federal court decision upholding the city’s claim to take over the company’s property under the 1905 charter. Will Kush, Action Every effort will be made to rush the necessary acquisition steps, ; Mayor Sullivan said, although the many problems of financing procedure to be solved probably will delay actual title transfer for six months or more. Before the transfer can be consummated, the city must arrange to retire common and preferred stock and first mortgage bonds against the company, amounting to more than $6,400,000. Value of the Citizens Gas Company has been estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000.000. At present, two methods of financing the acquisition are being considered: One, that the city float a bond issue to cover the outstanding stock, and the other that the gas company ’ take a second mortgage to meet the face value of the stock. Operation Provided For The company will be operated under the city utility district authorized in the 1929 legislature for the express purpose of operating the utility. City utility district trustees are Thomas C. Howe, Sterling R. Holt, George J. Marrott, A. D. Hitz and W. J. Mooney. Directors are Henry L. Dithmer, Brodehurst Elsey, Edward A. Kahn. Eli Lilly, Almus G. Ruddell and Guy A. Wainwright. Gas company trustees are Thomas L. Sulivan, the mayor’s father; Henry Kahn, G. A. Schnull, Otto Lieber and Frank C. Dailey. Directors are James I. Dissette, G. A. Efroymson, Edgar H. Evans, J. H. Hooker, H. H. Hornbrook, W. H. Insley, C. L. Kirk. Franklin Vonnegut and John R. Welch. Details cf the acquisition probably will delay decision on introduction of natural gas in the city imtil the city acquires title to the Citizens company. Natural Gas Rights Sought At least two comranies are prepared to bid on supplying natural gas to the Citizens company, to be mixed with artificial gas to be dispensed to local consumers. One of these, the Kentucky Natural Gas Company, has contracts with twenty-six local industries for supplying natural gas and has petitioned the city for right to lay gas mains to these plants. A campaign against the use of natural gas here on the basis that its lower cost would reduce the use of coal anfl thus add to unemployment among Indiana coal miners, has been started by local union representatives. In the franchise granted the Citizens Gas Company in 1905. it was agreed that within twenty-five years the city might acquire the company stock after it had been retired and stockholders had received a certain income on the stock they held. Claim City Lost Right In 1929 the city began steps to take over the property and two federal court suits contesting the city’s claim to the company were filed by Newton Todd and John J. Cotter, stock certificate holders. They claimed that when the city permitted the gas company to surrender its franchise to the public service commission in return for an indeterminate permit, the city lost its right to acquire the firm. The city’s claim was upheld by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell and on appeal the decision was sustained by the United States circuit court of appeals. The supreme court was asked to review the case, but removed all banders when it denied the request. WILL. REFUSES DEGREE Whole ‘'Honorary” Thing Is “the Hooev” Anyway, Says Rogers.

Charles Tolbert

Woman, Believed Widow, Is Questioned by Policemen.

Detectives this afternoon were questioning a woman who gave her name as Mary Zedan, held on a vagrancy charge, who, they say, is Mrs. Marie Tolbert, widow of Charles Tolbert, 28. of 1416 North Tremont avenue, bandit wounded fatally Sunday night in a pharmacy holdup. Tolbert died early today in city hospital. According to police, Mrs. Tolbert was arrested after she is alleged to have “fleeced” a man with whom she was riding in an auto Saturday night. The Tolberts’ 7-year-old son Charles was taken from school to the home of his grandmother at 1017 West Michigan street today, it was learned. George S. Wilson, employe of the J. H. Taylor pharmacy, Twenty-first and Illinois streets, fired the shots as Tolbert and his bandit companion, who is sought, fled the store after obtaining $25. Tolbert was left lying on the curb and the other bandit fled in an automobile. Tolbert’s father, Charles Tolbert, custodian of the Municipal Gardens, did not know of his son’s death until notified by The Times. “I haven't seen my boy for three weeks,” he said. “Several men were out here and some of them told me he was dead, but not In so many words.”

Wayward Rich Youth Is Sentenced to Prison

CHICAGO, May 19. —Edward (Toddy) Dillon, wayward son of a prominent St. Louis family, dramatically pleaded guilty today to five robbery charges and was sentenced to one to twenty years in Joliet penitentiary by Judge Joseph B. Sabath. Dillon, arrested in the lobby of the Erl anger theater here in the company of an Evanston society girl when recognized by a rob - bery victim, made a dramatic plea for “another chance to make something out of myself."

A gun carrying charge against Dillon w r as waived by Nat Covelli, assistant state's attorney, and Judge Sabath asked the youth if he had anything to say. “Yes, your honor,” replied the youth, immaculate in blue serge suit, white shirt, blue tie and gleaming shoes. “I'm such a fool. I’m 19. I am

EASY TO GET RENO DIVORCE, BUT JUST TRY TO KEEP IT SECRET

BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT NEA Service Writer < Copyright, 1931. by NEA Service. Inc.) RENO, Nev., May 19. —Getting divorced here is easy enough. But getting the 'ow-down on a particularly spicy divorce, or getting pictures of the divorcees--that’s something else again. And the battles of wits waged by the newspaper men and women and camera men on the one side, and lawyers, divorcees, courts, hotel men, etc., on the other is one of the interesting high-lights of the play off-stage. When Arkansas and Idaho began competing with Nevada in the matter of desirable divorce regulations, Nevada went farther by just cutting the residential period from three months to six weeks. The state also made provision for more privacy for those seeking separation. The lafc provides that a complaint can allege a cause of action. and not specifically outline the grounds in the action. “Desertion.” “cruelty” or similar general terms are sufficient for the complaint, which is a public record. a a * FURTHER obstacles to broadcasting a case is the amendment making it mandatory to hear a case with all spectators barred, if either attorney requests this action. And. still further, motion by counsel is all that is necessray to order all papers, testimony, etc., sMed and closed to inquiring eyes. There are at least a score of writers or correspondents in Mfcno any day.

Crowe, 57, farmer, father of a long line of Notre Dame university athletes, was killed today by a hit-and-run driver while walking to his home in Shadeland. south of this city. He was flung, unconscious, to the side of the highway, where he lay only a few minutes before a passing motorist picked him up. He died before medical aid could be given.

GALL BROOKS 'UNBALANCED' Doctors Take Stand in Will Fight Battie. Final evidence in the fight of charity organizations to have the 1930 will of the late Bartholomew D. Brooks, former business man, set aside as invalid were presented in probate court today, with the testimony of experts who, answering hypothetical questions, declared the deceased man was of unsound mind. Drs. Max E. Bauer, superintendent of the Indiana Central hospital, and Carter La Rue of Indiana university medical School, testified. Under questioning by attorneys for the plaintiffs, they described actions of Brooks before his death. One of the chief points in the hypothetical questions was that he had canceled insurance on 121 pieces of property he owned in Indianapolis, prior to his death. E. L. Rigsbee, insurance department of Fletcher Trust Company, corroborated the assertion that he had canceled the insurance. The defense is expected to meet the plaintiffs’ charges, that a 1930 will signed by Brooks was obtained through iraud, by presenting more than seventy-five witnesses. The charity organizations, awarded $200,000 from Brooks’ estate under a will signed June 22, 1922, are aligned with relatives to break the 1930 will, leaving major portion of the estate to Robert Hackney, business aid and other employes of Brooks.

STATE RESTS IN KIRKLAND MURDER TRIAL Judge Overrules Motion of Defense to Dismiss Death Charge. 3 POSSIBLE VERDICTS Dr. William Harger Is on Stand, but Is Not Cross-Examined. By United Press VALPARAISO, Ind., May 19. Judge Grant Crumpacker today overruled a defense motion to dismiss the first degree murder charge against Virgil Kirkland, accused of causing the death of Arlene Draves during a drinking party at Gary lasi November. The motion, declaring the state’s evidence was insufficient, was made by Oscar B. Thiel, Kirkland's attorney, after the state rested its case with the testimony of Dr. William N. Karger, Indiana university toxicologist. Dr. Harger declared his analysis of Arlene’s stomach failed to show alcohol sufficient to- cause intoxication, a point that was an issue in Kirkland’s first trial, but on which the defense did not even undertake to cross-examine him today. Three Verdicts Possible A “guilty” verdict against Kirkland would not necessarily carry the death penalty, Judge Crumpacker revealed in ordering that the trial of the 20-year-old athlete proceed. He indicated three possible verdicts; 1. Guilty of murder by criminal attack. 2. Guilty of criminal attack. 3. Not guilty. Judge Crumpacker said the death penalty would be mandatory under the first verdict, but pointed out that Kirkland could be convicted of criminal attack and only sentenced to five to twenty-one years in prison. Possibility Not Discussed This possibility has not been discussed by Prosecutor John Underwood, who had indicated that Kirkland’s guilt or innocence of criminal attack was not involved except as it related to the murder charge. “The whole question as I see it,” Judge Crumpacker said, “is whether Kirkland had relations with Arlene by her consent or against her will. If she consented, it wouldn’t be any crime, but that must be determined from a conflicting set of circumstances. From the number of wounds and bruises on her body, it would appear that some violence probably was used. “If Kirkland killed the girl in the commission of criminal attack,' he is guilty of murder and not of j manslaughter. If he attacked her and did not cause her death, he is guilty only of criminal attack.” Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 64 10 a. m 72 | 7a. m 65 11 a. m 74 8 a. m 69 12 (noon).. 72 ; 9 a. m 71 1 p. m 75

BOW TO MONARCHSj U. S. Girls Are Presented at Court

BY WALLACE CARROLI. United Press Staff Corremondent LONDON, May 19.—A thousand years of British royal pageantry and fairy-like fable lived again tonight when King George and Queen Mary held the first royal court of the year at Buckingham Palace. Stories, poetry and music written since medieval times about the court life which surrounds the British throne, became a reality as 500 proud and attractive girls from all parts of the world —including eleven from the United States —curtsied before their majesties. Eight other Americans will be presented Wednesdaynight. The Americans presented tonight. ten debutantes and one matron, were introduced by Mrs. Charles G. Dawes, the wife of the United States ambassador. They were Miss Louise Behn, New York City, Miss Helen Briton of Pennsylvania, Miss Margaretta Duane of Philadelphia, Miss Barbara Hutton of New York City, Miss Adele Johncke of New Orleans, Miss Edith Martin of Philadelphia, Miss Bertha Potter'Palmer of Chicago, Mrs. Ralph Booth of Michigan, Miss Virginia Penn of North Carolina, Miss Virginia Dawes of Chicago (daughter of Ambassador and Mrs. Dawes), and Miss Jasmin Schoellkopf of Buffalo, N. Y. a a a THE short and rather simple ceremony took place in the brilliant gold-colored throne room of Buckingham palace. Around the throne were gathered the duke and duchess of York, the duke of Gloucester, Princess Alice (Countess of Athlone), the earl of Athlone, Lady May Cambridge and Lady Helena Gibbs. The prince of Wales and Prince George were not present, but the prince of Wales will be present Wednesday night. Two more royal courts are scheduled for June 9 and 10. The weather was threatening. Prancing horses, long rows of expensive motor cars attended by liveried chauffeurs and footmen, smartly trained guards around Buckingham palace, a fanfare of trumpets and ruffles of drums gave the court opening a colorful setting. b an THE royal family did not enter the throne room until 9:30. The first of the women to be presented arrived at 6 o’clock. Two hours before the appear -

it appears in the eastern papers, there is apt to be a kick-back on the Reno attorney handling the case.” a a a T AWYERS look at it differently. “Often these people come out here to quietly establish residence, hoping to have all papers prepared, summonses served, etc., without friction,” one attorney explained. “By premature publication of news that they are here, the person to be sued may evade summons, or object to the notoriety. “If the newspaper men will just play ball with us, we’ll do what we can to get them pictures posed voluntarily.” But you can’t tell that to an art editor or managing editor a few thousand miles away, aver the newsfolk. Doping out who this* or that might be is another great sport. Assumed names are popular up to the time of filing complaint. Thus, “Mrs. John Smith” may in reality be a social registerite, or from London, Rotterdam or Boston, instead of the Jonesville she gave as her residence in the hotel register. a a a THE hotels and apartment houses playing to this clientele go to great lengths to protect their guests. Some have threatened instant dismissal to any bellboys, manicurists or others who even talk to newspaper men. It’s a keen battle of wits—with honors about so far, and to date no earner* broken.

The United States embassy ordered Robert Walsh, assistant air attache, to proceed by airplane to co-operate with French army engineers in an effort to save Dunlap. The accident occurred at Chateau La Farinere, which had been occupied by Dunlap for four months. Infiltration of rain caused the walls of the wine cellar to collapse, burying two workmen who had been called to make repairs when the wall first began to crumble.

Efforts to rescue Dunlap were greatly handicapped when an enormous rock from an overhanging cliff fell with a landslide, blocking the cave.

MAYR FILES WRIT Seeks Right to Publish All 1931 Acts. Writ of prohibition, which would abolish the House Bill 6 restraining order and permit the secretary of state to publish the acts of the 1931 legislature, was asked in Indiana supreme court today. Petition for the writ was filed by Attorney-General James M. Ogden on behalf of Frank Mavr Jr., secretary of state. In urging this action, Mayr said he was not doing anything to change the course of the suit in the House Bill 6 matter, now pending in Marion circuit court, but merely seeking to lift the publication ban imposed by Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. The writ, however, will be opposed by attorneys fighting House Bill 6, one of the principal points in their injunction suit being the fact the law has not been published and promulgated.

All depositors of the Farmers Trust Company, which closed May 4, will be paid in full, officials of the institution declared today before Superior Judge Clarence E.

Weir said he will name a receiver soon and that he "was confident that by careful management the bank should be able to pay all depositors.” The receivership suit was brought by the state banking department following closing cf the bank by directors.
