CHICAGO FIRM ASKS TRACTION LINE RECEIVER FiQht Flares as Defense Attorneys File Plea for Special Judge. T„jf >po,ntment of receiver for the H “ la^ a & Southeastern trac.„,n.lnes Was sought in supuerior p OU £. tod y before Judge Joseph Williams. The petition was filed by Harry Warden, president of the ", ep }?bli c Paint and Varnish works Pj Chicago. Warden • charges the $660 ° n Company owes his concern Attorneys for the defendant filed counter petitions asking for a change of Judge. Judge WilUams named Clarence Weir, John W. Kern and William Pickens as his list of judges for the cousels to select from. E. W. Little, counsel for Wardell, protested the appointment of a special judge. Little asserted he filed the suit for receiver several weeks ago, and, while waiting for the case to be called, the traction company petitioned the Indiana public service commission for permission to abandon two lines running to Greensburg and Connersville. In the petition to abandon, Little contended the company admitted insolvency and filed a written statement with the commission that they had earned only $2,300 in 1930 and thus far this year had lost $14,076.70 in seven months. With $500,000 in first mortgages against them on an estimated value fixed by the commission at $1,800,000 the traction company has been unable to earn depreciation and interest charges, the petition to the sendee commission contended. By making such admittance to the public service commission, the' traction firm admits that. Warden’s suit contended, Little stated today, and he asks that a receiver be appointed now that he can protect the creditors and preserve the property in the interest of such creditors until it may be sold for junk. Little contended the defendants are not entitled to a change of judge after admitting insolvency. NEGRO STOLE CAR ‘TO GO HOME AND MARRY’ Rites to Be Delayed, However; He Gets Four Months.

For the first time in ten years, the mayor was called upon to decide a park board question Thursday when the four board members tied in their votes. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan voted to grant a permit for erection of a filling station at the southeast corner of Central avenue and Maple Road boulevard.
