STAY IN JAIL PENDING APPEAL BRINGS PROTEST Mishawaka Man Sentenced to Thirty Days Held for Three Months. By Timm Special SOUTH BEND, Oct. 31.—1n the principal editorial of the day, the South Bern! News-Times scathingly assails the Indiana law on appeals in criminal cases, referring to Prank Avery, Mishawaka, who was m jail ninety days because he was unable to provide bond pending disposition of an appeal from a thirty-day jail term for possessing liquor. ~ t The editorial opens with the question: "In the name of the Constitution of the United States and the decencies supposed to rule a civilized land, what has happened to our processes of justice when a man can lie in jail ninety days through one of the hottest and the most desperately uncomfortable seasons in recint years waiting on an appeal to a higher court from a thirty-day fjijntence?” Cites Constitution the editorial says: ."Has not Alphonse Capone enjeyed until very recently all the freedom common to law-abiding citizens in spite of the fact that he Wjps accused of major felonies? “"Yet here is an ordinary citizen, c&nvicted of a minor offense to \i3iich a large number of our peopt{? have not the slightest objection, who, because he can not furnish a suitable bond, lies in jail for ninety days. '‘And here is another dreadful thing into which our big lawyers might look: "The warrant on which Avery was arrested was addressed wrong. It bore two addresses neither of which was Avery’s. "State’s Attorney Schwartz, before Judge Peak, dismissed the case and Avery was free. But he had served ninety days. "Well, we don’t suppose anything will be done about this. We don’t know Avery but w'e suppose he is obscure, He must be if he lacked money for his appearance on appeal. Anyhow he is no Capone; he is no Albert B. Fall; he is no Harry Sinclair.

Jail Roll Call Urged “He may be a bootlegger. The wrong and injustice are still the same. “And when a man gets into one of the cells over at the county jail unless he has some money and can keep a lawyer busy in his behalf he is quite likely to be forgotten. “The judges might call the roll once in a while and see how many poor devils are in there who should be out. It wouldn’t be a bad plan if the judges could sit together on the bench in a large court room and have the sheriff and prosecutor bring the whole population of the county jail before them at once while they inquired into the status of each and every prisoner. “It would be an unusual proceeding but it would be humane. And it might save the taxpayers some money by keeping down the boarding bills for prisoners who have no business in jail.” Columbus Man Kills Self By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 31.

THEY TELL MEi

BY BEN STERN THAT coy spinster, Miss Democracy. who has been wooed and herself has wooed so often that she fixed herself up with an adjustable finger to fit any ring, has gone "big city.” The last election made her that way, but none knew how bad it was until party headquarters issued their lists of delegate apportionment. This reveals that there will be city domination of next year’s Democratic convention as opposed to rural control in the G. O. P. affair. Because the size of the county delegations is based on the percentage of one delegate for each 400 votes cast for secretary of state and for fractions in excess of 200, the Democrats will, for the first time in twenty years, have more votes than their opponents. Total Democratic vote next year will be 1.560. against 1,454 for the G. O. P., and it will take 781 votes to nominate in the convention of the former against 728 in that of the latter. tt n u Marion county's delegation, if voted as a bh>c, will be able to cast

a vote equal to 27 per cent of the number necessary to nominate. If a combination could be worked out or traded for by the managers here with the delegations from Allen, Lake, St, Joseph. Vanderburg and Vigo counties, who will control 36 per cent of the desired majority, the six counties could name any candidate agreed upon, for the total would be 63 per cent. But try to get them to agree. In the Republican convention, however, Marion county, because of the comparatively light vote polled by Otto Fifield. will have but 20 per cent, while the other five counties named above will total only 33 per cent. n ts tt This would necessitate close figuring to perfect a combine, as the natural drift would cause a greater difference. In other words, the Democratic alliance could stand to lose 12 per cent and still name the candidate, while the Republican group could afford only a 2 per cent drift. Os course, any such combination is passible, but rather improbable. ‘‘What are the party bosses doing about this?” is the question asked. Let's talk about Monday.

CUT IN MARION UTILITIES RATES TO BEjSOUGHT Lower Gas, Electricity and Phone Charges Goal of Taxpayers League. By Times Special MARION, Ind., Oct. 31.—Rates of the three public utilities operating in Marion will be subject of protest to the Indiana public service commission, according to Julius Stallings, president of the Grant County Taxpayers Association.

The companies to be asked to lower rates are Indiana General Service Company, which provides electricity; the Central Indiana Gas Company, and the Bell Telephone Company. Cost of electricity is 7ts cents per kilowatt hour, unless the consumer owns an electric refrigerator or range; the gas rate is $1.35 per 1.000 cubic feet for the first 5.000; sl.lO per 1,000 for the next 5.000, and 75 cents per 1,006 cubic feet for all in excess of 10,000.

"Such rates as these are exorbitant even in prosperous times,” Stallings said in announcing that the fight against what he called the "public utilities octopus” had now started here.

The utilities are making enormous profits at ,the expense of the working man who can not afford to pay the rates demanded.” The water plant is the only cityowned utility in Marion.
