HALLAHAN AND EARNSHAW TO TOIL ON SLAB Cardinals, Spirits Still at Top Pitch, Determined to Even Series. WEATHER TO BE IDEAL Victory for Macks Today Will Send Rivals’ Hopes to Near Zero. BY L. S. CAMERON United Pres* Snorts Editor ST LOUIS, Oct. 2.—World series warfare, begun In victory by Connie Mack’s almost perfect Philadelphia Athletics, and In defeat by Gabby Street's partly crippled St. Louis Cardinals, was the attraction which drew thousands of fans back to Bportman’s park today. A warm sun broke through scattered clouds, giving promise of another perfect baseball day for the second game of the series. The temperature at 7~a. m. was about 70 degrees. Despite the victory of the Athletics, the series was just about where it was twenty-four hours before. This was because the Macks did the expected thing in winning behind the truly marvelous pitching of Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove. Experts had said that Grove would win if he pitched the first game. Also, they predicted the Athletics would win the scries. Grove did pitch the first game and one forecast was realized. What will happen to the other prediction remained to be seen. Fans Are Resigned Card fans here (and of the 38,529 present Thursday, it was believed all but the nine on the field w r ere cheering for St. Louis) would have been stunned had the home club won the first game. They indicated this when the Cards got a two-run lead in the first inning. Card fans, with their celluloid redbird gee-gaws, yelped and carried on quite a piece over that two-run scoring festival. But when, in the later innings, the Athletics got their runa the fans seemed to say, "Well, we expected that.” Unlike the first contest, today’s game assumed an importance unrivaled in recent world series competition. If the Athletics win today, the fans might as well quit worrving about the Cards’ chances. They’ll be nil, if not null and void. Mickey Cochrane, Athletics’ catcher, gives one the tip-off on that angle. Mickey, one of the most popular players in the game, isn’t given to bragging. But ask him things about the series and here’s one thing he's sure to say: "All I know is we’re mighty tough back in Philadelphia.” Hallahan to Hurl So, if the A’s go home two games to the good, they might as well bed down Sportsman’s park until 1932. For there are three games possible in Philadelphia and all the Athletics would have to do would be to win two of them. The experts and the fans spent some hours discussing lineup of today’s game. They started with the pitchers. Gabby street settled one problem. He said that left-handed William Anthony (Moon) Hallahan of Binghamton, N. Y., would pitch for the Cards. So they quit arguing about that. They talked about the A’s hurler and most everybody said it would be George Earnshaw, a right-hander. Incidentally, there was a little laugh in Thursday’s game. Mack steadfastly refused to announce his starting pitcher, but the only A’s twirler who warmed up was Grove. If Earnshaw doesn’t pitch today it may be Waite Hoyt. It might be your Cousin Fanny, but she isn’t eligible. Earnshaw will pitch.

Bottom ley Not So Good There was an argument afoot about the first base position on the Cardinal side. Sunny Jim Bottomley wasn't exactly a mutt Thursday, but he wasn't any double-decked ice cream cone, either. He did get one hit in his first game, but also he got one hit in the entire series of 1930. His play afield was no more than all right and he didn’t even start toward redeeming himself for last season's terrible batting flop. Street’s .second-guessers, however! agreed that Sunny Jim was about the best that the Cards had to offer at first base and looked for him to start at least one more ball game. Thursday’s opening game is a story that could be told in two innings. The Cards made their bid when they scored two runs in the first. Singles by Roettger. Frisch and bottomley. followed by Martin’s double, accounted for the runs. Athletics Bat Around The Athletics all but ended the game in the third. They batted around, with Dykes, Williams and Faxx getting singles, and Haas scoring a double, while Simmons and Cochrane were walking. That gave the A’s four runs, and the two scores made in the sixth on Cochrane's single and Simmons hogje run didn’t really matter.

Husband Breaks Down After Emphatic Testimony in Poison Trial. BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT. LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 2.—Breaking under the strain of constant questioning, John W Simmons, Hancock county farmer, collapsed at noon today in the witness chair in the crowded little courtroom where his wife, Carrie, is being tried for the picnic poison murders of their daughters. Denying his wife poisoned the chicken sandwiches, or that she had made a previous attempt to poison the girls two weeks before the fatal picnic, June 21, Simmons had helped build a defense for his wife. His collapse came as the courthouse clock struck the noon hour. His sobs, heard throughout the courtroom, suddenly stilled as he slumped in the chair. As an echo came the weeping of his wife. Wife Weeps Often Throughout the morning Mrs. Simmons broke into tears at various times as her husband told, and repeated, the story of. the events of the tragic day. He said he was in the kitchen with his wife for all but fifteen minutes while she was preparing the picnic food. He told the jury he recalled seeing the lid placed on the lunch box. First intimation of the defense assertion that an unknown person poisoned the food came when Simmons revealed that a member of the picnic party was not seen for some time just before the group went to the picnic grounds. He testified he carried insurance policies of $2,500 each for Alice Jean, 10, and Virginia, 14, the murdered cnildren, of which he and the defendant were joint beneficiaries. Says Wife Helped Doctors He also described the efforts that were made by physicians to save the children’s lives. Simmcns also battered at the state’s assertion that his wife was "cold blooded” and “not agitated,” by describing her actions in the hospital. "She tried to help the doctors,” he testified.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1931 .

RULING PAVES WAY TO SLASH UJILITYR ATES Commission’s Decision in Vincennes Water Case Is Revolutionary. BOON FOR CONSUMERS 5 Per Cent Return Is Held Fair, Instead of Old 7 Per Cent Profit. Public service commissioners themselves today paved the way for relief from excessive utilities rates in Indianapolis and elsewhere throughout the state. By a vote of three to two they adopted an order reducing rates of the Vincennes Water Company and establishing new principles of rate making, the most revolutionary order in commission history. Here are some of the points developed that will mean salvation for the consumer: That valuations set by courts in the last have no effect under pres-ent-day economic changes and falling price levels of both labor and materials. 5 Per Cent Return Set That the United States supreme court decision setting 7 per cent as a fair return is unfair today and a guaranteed return of 5 per cent now is just and ample. That utility owners no longer can declare a low valuation for taxation and triple it for rate making. All these points have been stressed for months by The Times. Today’s order was written by Commissioner Howell Ellis and concurred in by Commissioners Frank Singleton and Harry K. Cuthbertson. Chairman John W. McCardle and Commissioner Jere West dissented. West spent more than thirty years as a circiut court judge before being appointed commissioner by Governor Harry G. Leslie. Denies Rate Boost The Vincennes order is doublebarreled. It upholds a petition of the city for reduced rates and denies an increase petition filed by the company. It sets a valuation of SBOO,OOO on the property, based on audit of commission engineers and accountants made in January of this year. Turning down the idea advanced by J. Clyde Jones, company attorney, that the commission never could go back of the $1,032,000 valuation given the Compaq in the federal court of appeals in 1928, the order sets out: "No court perpetually can enjoin the public service commission from operating its legislative functions in matters of this kind.” The company had sought a sl,500,000 valuation, based on alleged improvements and betterments made the court valuation was set. Old Appraisals Valueless Citing present price trends, the order pointed out that appraisals made by Stone and Webster in 1928 are valueless now. “The Stone and Webster appraisal of May 1, 1928, reflects no present day conditions and is entitled to little weight *n determining fair value now,” the order states. It points to the testimony of bankers and other investment authorities to show that a guaranteed 5 per cent return is first rate at the present time and as just as 7 per cent several years ago. The 7 per cent idea was injected in a United States supreme court decision in 1929. Dealing with the matter of low tax values and high rate values, the order charges that company officials have "played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the state tax board and the public service commission.” Difference Is “Remarkable” It points out that Benjamin Park, an official of the company, testified before the state tax board on March 1, 1931, that the valuation of the property was $516,400. To this Ellis added $68,600 in local assessments at Vincennes, making a total for tax purposes of $585,000. He then shows that on June 4, 1931, George H. Alexander, vicepresident and general manager of the company, swore that the valuation was $1,517,810 at a rate hearing before the public service commission. - ' This difference the Ellis order terms "indeed remarkable.” He also criticised Alexander for being an official and owning onethird of the stock and then appearing as an unbiased expert on appraisal when he is not even a licensed engineer. Under the new rates, Vincennes citizens will procure 500 cubic feet a month minimum of water for $1.50. while previously it was $1.60 for 400 .eubic feet. Fire protection for the city will be $72 a year a hffirant, instead of $99. which was the highest hydrant rate for any fourth-class city in the state. INCOME TAX YIELD LESS September Collections Decrease From Revenue Year Ago. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Total | income tax collections on third quarter installments for the month of September were $267,257,654, compared with $498,520,395 for September last year, the complete report on September collections showed today.

At Least Six Planes to Be Operated From Here Daily. Operating at least six, and perhaps nine, planes each way daily on regular schedule, Century Airlines, Inc., expects to operate a Cincinnati-Chicago passenger air line through Indianapolis within • few weeks. If giant operations planned by Century are successful, Indianapolis may become the hub of the midwestern network of passenger air lines planned by that firm. In a letter to the works board today, W. F. Bliss, general manager of Century Airlines, said the contract offered his firm for use of municipal airport, .was acceptable, but added it would be rewritten by Century Airlines attorneys for the sake of clarity. If none of its clauses are changed in meaning in the rewriting, its acceptance doubtless will be suggested to city council by the works board. Bliss said operation of the Cin-cinnati-Chicago line would begin soon, since his company already had planes in their hangars ready ]to be put into use. With E. L. Cord, motor car magnate, behind the corporation, a new idea has been instituted in air passenger travel. Cord’s idea was to combine the low price and frequent schedule of railways with the time-saving of an airplane’s speed, and on lines now in operation between St. Louis and Chicago, and Chicago and Detroit, claims to have worked out this plan successfully, with hourly schedules and rates comparable with railway charges. Eventually Century Airlines plans to extend its flights from St. Louis through Evansville and Louisville to Cincinnati, and thence north through Dayton and Columbus to Toledo an<L Cleveland. Another line suggested was between Indianapolis, Dayton and St. Louis, and between Indianapolis and Ft Wayne. LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE Boston Workers Ignore Orders of Leaders and Walk Out.

By.lfimcs Special HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 2. —A bandit gang that last summer held up the Citizens State bank here played a return engagement today and escaped with about $12,000. Before leaving the bank, they kidnaped Elmer Lucas, the mayor of the city, who is an assistant cashier. Three miles north of the city, on the Ft. Wayne road, they freed him, when it was obvious there was no pursuit organized close enough to give them trouble. Five men entered the bank, three menacing three women customers and five bank employes with submachine guns. The customers were forced to lie on the floor, and the women employes confined in a rest room. Threatening lives of Lucas and George Swaim, another assistant cashier, the quintet forced Swaim to open the safe, from which they took the money. Two other bandits stood guard at the city limits, in another car from which bristled machine guns. They covered the escape. As the five fled the bank, Swaim fired at them with a revolver, despite the fact that Lucas was in their machine. His bullets did not take effect.

LINDY’S PLANE IS WRECKED IN CHINESE RIVER Flier and Wife Are Hurled Clear of Aircraft Into f Flooded Yangtse. SAVED BY BRITISH BOAT Pair Swim Side by Side in Swollen Stream; Both Are Unhurt. By United Press I HANKOW, Clrina, Oct. 2.—Quick action by sailors aboard the British airplane carrier Hermes saved the lives of Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh today when their big ! black monoplane capsized, hurling | them into the turbulent waters of i the flood-swollen Yanguze river. The trim, pontoon-equipped plane dived into the river when the motor stalled, just as Lindbergh pointed its nose aloft for a flight over the flood-stricken Wuhan area. As the craft struck, sending up i spirals of spray, Lindy and Ann ! were hurled clear. They managed to remain afloat, swimming side by side, while sailors aboard the Hermes quickly lowered a lifeboat and spied to their rescue. Crash at High Speed It was first feared the famous couple had drowned. The plane was traveling at ljgh speed when it sped by the Hermes, from which it had been lowered only a short time before. Then the motor i- - A wing dipped, cutting a riffle in the river’s surface. An instant later the colonel and Ann were paddling about, awaiting help. They escaped without injury and seemed none the worse for their ducking. The famous Americans had been keeping their plane aboard the Hermes since coming here to survey the flood areas. Lindbergh’s plane will be shipped to Shanghai aboard the Hermes Monday to be repaired by the China National Aviation Corporation. Repairs necessary will include anew S fuselage. Given Medical Treatment If Colonel Lindbergh waits for his plane to be repaired, he will have to stay in China for some time. The China National Aviation Corporation offered him another plane if he desired to usfe it to continue his eastern tour. The Lindberghs were given orecautionary medical treatment aboard the* Hermes because of the presence of filth in the flood of the Yangtze. They were not expected to suffer any ill effects from (their experience. Damage to the plane ended the fliers’ flood relief flights, which had been very valuable. The Lindberghs were cared for by officers of the Hermes and Walter Adams, United States consul-general. Expected in Shanghai By United Press SHANGHAI. China. Oct. 2. Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.
