NEW TELETYPE SERVICE READY FOR PUBLIC USE System Hitherto Available Only to Newspapers, Brokers’ Offices. I’ll 1 nitrd Press NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Three giant corporations went to war today for the nation’s telegraphic business, and their battle lines were along an automatic printer system operated by a typewriter keyboard. The American Telephone and Telegraph system today opened its new automatic printer system. It permits a business man in New York, for example, to “talk'’ with his representative in San Francisco or elsewhere simply by pound-! ing out messages back and forth on the typewriter keyboard. And two other giant corporations, 1 the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph Company, dropped a fight of forty years standing to join in meeting the new competition offered by A. T. and T. Their joint service, practically identical to that of the A. T. and T-, will start Dec. 1. Charges for both services will be on the same basis, the time consumed and not the number of words transmitted. Officials estimated that from 100 to 180 words could be transmitted during the threfcminute minimum period on which all charges will be based. Nation Switchboard Service quite similar to that now offered the general public has been in use for years by newspapers and news service, brokerage houses, banks and the telegraph systems themselves. Their lines, however, were private systems not controlled through a general switchboard. A Wall Street brokerage house, for instance, could transmit a general message to its branch offices all over the country, and in turn receive telegraphic reports ‘punched’ on a typewriter keyboard from those branch houses under the old system. Now it may punch a message into any office with a similar “printer.” Any business having need for frequent long-distance telephone con- I versa tions with representatives or clients may “talk” by automatic printer with those persons. The conveosaticn will be "on record” for study and deliberation of both parties, if desired. Circuits Can Switch Any business house with an A. T.I A' T. printer in its office now may be automatically switched into a cir- ; cuit, with any other A. T. T. printer. Any Western Union printer may be automatically switched into a. circuit with any other Western Union printer, or with any postal printer, and vice versa. Previously, such printers have been linked only in private circuits. Inauguration of the new service will not be accompanied by the elimination of any telegraph service now given to the public. Through the many Postal Tele-, graph and Western Union branch • telegraph offices, it would be possible for a person to step into one of these offices, using its teletype printer and send messages to a subscriber having a printer. This service would be in addition to the present telegraph service. .. Offer Other Service Another service offered by Western Union-Postal would enable a i person with a teletype machine to | send a telegram to a person who has not. This would be accomplished by the subscriber sending a telegram to the central office, which in turn would be connected ; with the city in which the telegram ; was being sent. This would then j be delivered by the regular channels. Financing arrangements between Western Union and Postal have not yet been completed, but it is understood that revenues from the new | service would be prorated with the facilities of each company that are used. Both companies will be connected so that users may send from a Postal to a Western Union sta- j tion, or vice versa. PASTOR GETS NEW POST The Rev. G. H. Gebhardt Accepts Philadelphia Call. The Rev. G. H. Gebhardt, formerly pastor of the Carrollton Avenue Reformed church, will resign his present post in the Trinity Reformed churfch of Wadsworth, 0., Jan., 1 to become pastor of the First Reformed church of Phila- j delpbid,, according to advice received today by Mr. Gebhardt’s mother, Mrs. Caroline Gebhardt, 202 North Gray street. The Philadelphia church is the oldest in the denomination in the United States. It was founded in 1727. Mr. Gebhardt was pastor in Indianapolis from 1921 until 1929, when he resigned to go to Wadsworth WALKER AS BEST MAN He’s likely to “Stand Up” for Connie Bennett and Marquis. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.—Friends of Constance Bennett, motion picture actress, and Marquise Henri de la Falaise, who have obtained a marriage license, today considered it likely that Mayor James Walker of Nqw York would be best man at the ceremony. Mayor Walker will arrive in San Francisco next week to urge a pardon for Thomas Mooney, and as he is a close friend of the couple there apparently are well-founded rumors that he would stand beside them at the altar. In that event the wedding will not take place at least until next week.

PROBE BABY DEATH Body Is Found, Wrapped in Paper, Under Flooring. Investigation into the death of a 3-month-old baby, whose body was found Friday under the flooring of the home of Hugh Delk, 946 South Senate avenue, was started today by police. Delk and his wife had noticed an odor from the basement for several days, and, searching the house, found the body, wrapped in a newspaper dated Oct. 10, had been placed under the floor through a small hole in the basement wall. Police were unable to determine whether death was from violence or from natural causes. Although Delk and his family have lived at the home for seven months, detectives said the bady was placed there about ten days ago. Delk said he believed someone familiar with the house had entered the basement door, which always was unlocked, and disposed of the body. Former residents of the house, now living on Rockville road, are to be questioned by detectives. ‘EUROPEAN LEADERS’ IS TOPIC FOR FORUM Ellery Walter, Noted Globe Trotter, to Speak at Kirshbaum. “European Leaders I Have Met” will be discussed by Ellery Walter, famous one-legged globe trotter, lec-

SUICIDE’S COMPANION DENIES SLAYING GUILT South Bend Prisoner Asserts He Was on Pleasure Ride. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Nov. 21. Stanley Gtaszewski. 27, continues lo deny guilt in tl*; slaying of Emery Bokor, 39, a grocer, which was followed by the suicide in jail here oi Joseph Jonas, 32, arrested with Staszewski. Jonas hanged himself with his belt. He too maintained his innocence, but Police Chief John B. Kuespert says a conclusive case could have been made against him. Staszewski asserts he was taking Jonas for a pleasure ride in his automobile. Robbery was the motive for slaying the grocer who had $1,200 on his person shortly before his death, but had banked it. Near the body of Jonas a not* was found absolving the other man of any connection with the crime. The suicide, described as a destitute bootlegger, directed that his debts be paid from insurance money.

Annual Plea'Sounded for Contributions of Preserves and Jams. Who can imagine a childhood without “jelly-bread?” Who can visualize Lockerbie street without thinking of James Whitcomb Riley and the children of his dreams enjoying the homely delight of a jam covered face? But there will be children on Lockerbie street without these joys, unless generous friends with wellfilled cupboards come to the rescue. Next door to Riley’s home is the Indianapolis Day Nursery, where dozens of children are cared for while their mothers work. Some mothers pay a few cents a day for the care and food given their children, but others can not spare anything from their scanty earnings. At 10 in the morning, babies' tummies feel “woozy” and these gnawing pains always are pacified with jelly-bread. Every year before Thanksgiving, the nursery voices a plea for contributions of jams, jellies, marmalades and preserves. Last year, the contributions amounted to more than 1,000 jars. This year, with even more childish mouths to feed, the nursery hopes to receive larger donations. Contributions may be sent to the nursery at 542 Lockerbie street, or to the Girl Scout headquarters at 512 Board of Trade building. DISTRICT GOVERNOR OF ROTARY TO VISIT CITY Dr. John H.

INTERURBAN FIELD RULED BY INSULL

Latest Abandonments in State Remove All Other Companies. Insull and his Indiana railroad now are alone in the field as Indiana interurban operators. For the public service commission has authorized the Indianapolis & Southeastern to discontinue its interurban service by midnight, Dec. 31. The road operates two branches, and was the only line entering the Traction Terminal in Indianapolis that wasn’t Insull-owned. One branch goes to Greensburg, through Shelbyville, and the other to Connersville. Petitions of the company to inaugurate bus service over these routes are pending before the commission. Opposed by Greenfield A total of 146 miles of interurban service was ordered abandoned by the commissioners at a conference Friday afternoon. . In addition to the Indianapolis <fc Southeastern lines, the commissioners voted to permit the T. H„ 1 1. & E., now part of the Insull system, to suspend service from Indianapolis to Dunreith. This move vigorously was opposed by the city of Greenfield, which will be without interurban service. Original petition was for abandonment of the line from Indianapolis, I through Greenfield to Richmond. But upon a letter of suggestion i from the commission the Insull in- ! tcrests concocted a scheme to operate over the line through Newcastle i and on to Richxgpnd, causing the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EIGHT-COUNTY POOL FORMED BY MILKMEN Producer-Dealer Pact. Producer-Dealer Pact, Say Organizers. Adoption of a milk pool agreement by a majority of Indianapolis milk distributers and dairymen of Marion county and seven adjoining counties was announced today. The agreement was reached at a meeting' in the Sever in Friday night, attended by milk distributers, county agents, farm bureau presidents and officials of the Central Indiana Dairymen's Association, Inc., recently organized by the producers. The new association, which will take over the Dairy Producers’ Exchange here, is expected to end differences between producers and distributers and to provide an uniformly high quality of milk here, according to Carl L. Hedges, manager. While the agreement will result in a more uniform price paid producers, it wiH not affect retail price of milk paid by consumers. The agreement was sought to provide a workable basis fair to producers, distributers and consumers, to prevent milk wars and destruction of property as has occurred in other large cities, and to assure a better grade of milk, it was explained. Distributers representing approximately 75 per cent of the city’s milk consumption already have signed the agreement, and most of the others are expected to sign soon, said Hedges. Approximately 4,500 dairy farmers of Marion, Hancock, Hamilton, Johnson, Shelby, Morgan, Hendricks and Boone counties were represented in the pool agreement. Under the agreement, Indianapolis distributors will buy milk only through the new association, which, in turn, will accept milk only from dairy herds producing high quality milk, Hedges explained. Hedges has resigned as manager of the Indiana Dairy Marketing Association, Muncie, to give full time to the new organization. Officers are Elwood Morris, Hancock county, president; Norman E. Pearson, Hendricks county, vicepresident; John E. Webb, Marion county, secretary-treasurer. Directors include the officers and E. B. Bender, Boone county; Herbert Fields, Morgan county; C. M. Bottema, Marlon county; John W. Meiks, Shelby county; Jesse R. Johnson, Hamilton county, and William H. Settle, Indianapolis. THEFTS LOOT S3OO North Side Homes and Car Are Ransacked.

abandonment to apply only to the route as far as Dunreith. Commissioner Jere West wrote the Dunreith abandonment order and Commissioner Frank Singleton the Indianapolis & Southeastern. The order written by Commissioner Howell Ellis and banning use of the therm system of measurement for gas utilities was adopted unanimously. Commissioner Singleton wrote a separate opinion, however, in which he set forth his views regarding use of the therm. Cubic Foot Plan Stands Both orders admit that it is scientifically correct, but criticise the method used by the utilities in forcing it on clients and crowding out the more easily understood cubic foot system of gas measurement. The cubic foot system alone will be used from now on under the Ellis decision. The case was instituted on commission motion after protest against the therm came from the thirty-two counties where it was being introduced. Nearly every Indiana large city and town, outside of Indianapolis, was affected. Deaths of sixteen persons in five years at the T. H., I. & E. interurban crossing on United States Road 40, one mile west of Plainfield, caused the commission to order automatic crossing gates erected there. Petition for the gates was filed by J. H. Jones and others living in the vicinity. The commission refused to grant the petition of the company asking the state highway commission to share in the SB,OOO estimated cost. The highway commission can join in such projects, tmder a 1931 statute, where the crossing is considered “extra hazardous.’’

TAX BOARD HIT AS USURPER IN BUDGETHEARIN6 Members Had No Right to Slash Levy, Contention of Attorneys. Usurpation of powers inherent only in the legislature or in a city council, was charged against the state tax board today by Edward Knight, corporation counsel, and James E. Deery, ciSty attorney, in their oral argument to make permanent the temporary injunction to halt the county auditor and treasurer from putting into affect the reduced levy fixed by the board. Following the argument by both sides, Judge John Kern of superior court one took the question under advisement. Pending decision, the temporary restraining order will remain in force. The state tax board slashed the proposed city tax rate from SI.OB to $1.06 and the city has asked that the county auditor and treasurer be mandated to restore their rate. Claim Full Powers Louis Ewbank; special counsel; High D. Merrifield, deputy attorneygeneral, and Harvey Grabill, county attorney, countered with the argument that the courts have held that the functions of limitation of taxes can be assigned to any board designated by the legislature, and therefore th etax board has full powers to order a reduction in the rate. Deery protested that the tax board has reduced specific items in the budget and that the board thus acted in a legislative capacity which is unconstitutional. Power Is Limited Knight added that the tax has in reality only the power to correct errors in mathematical calculations and that in attempting to reduce thel evy, it is usurping a perrogative not conferred upon it. “In fact, the board is attempting to do indirectly what it can not do directly,” he said. He pointed out that just as a legislature fixes the state budget and approuriations, so does the city council do the same for the municipality. When this is done, it is a legislative function and the tax board has no more right to cut the appropriations fixed by the legislature.

LEAGUE FACES NEW PROBLEM ON ARMISTICE Japan Tentatively Agrees to Truce, With Curb on Chinese. (Continued from Page 1) manded prior to peace negotiations. Japan definitely refused such proposals, but the second statement modified the government’s position. The Japanese troops already have extended their control over the capitals of all three Manchurian provinces. The government's position would mean that the situation would remain unchanged while the armistice is in effect, as far as Japanese activities are concerned. It would be necessary, however, for the Chinese to remain passive, to keep the armistice effective. Washington Optimistic By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.—Tokio’s conditional agreement to an armistice in Manchuria caused satisfaction and increased optimism today among American officials, who had looked upon earlier reports of definite rejection by Japan as a step away from settlement of the Oriental quarrel. With its usual caution, the state department would not comment on this sudden turn of events, or upon reports of threatened Chinese troop movements into South Manchuria. Secretary Stimson continued to work silently on the Manchurian problem, which probably has been more vexing than any t her he has had to deal with since taking office. Anxious for peace at any reasonable price, officials welcomed the League of Nation's announcement Friday of the Japanese-Chinese armistice “in principle” and the proposed inquiry by an international commission. The view has been taken in administration quarters that the main aim of the league and the United States would have been attained when fighting ceased. Fear New Attack BY D. C. BESS United Press Staff Correspondent MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. 21. A “dangerous movement” of Chinese troops in south Manchuria was announced today by the Japanese military headquarters, which took immediate precautions against an attack. General Shigero Honjo, the Japanese commander in Manchuria, said there was danger of “aggressive” action. The Japanese preparations against fighting in the south, not far from the frontier of China proper, were handicapped by the fact that strong troop detachments had been sent to northern Manchuria in the last few days to subdue the Chinese in Tsitsihar. General Ma Chan-Shan was reported still active in the Chinese Eastern railroad area, not far from Tsitsihar.

POISON FOUND IN CANDY SENT TO FARM HOME Father Detects Queer Odor, Saves Seven Children From Death. By United Press NEWCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 21.—A tissue wrapped box of homemade fudge candy, that had been dosed heavily with deadly phosphorous poison, was received today at the farm home of J. W. Gray, 40, living near Moreland. Gray opened the box and summoned his seven children to share the sweets, he said, when he detected a queer odor about the candy. An investigation disclosed that the gift was poisoned. Postal Inspector A. S. Kelley began an immediate investigation. The farmer could offer no clues to the identity of the sender. He said, however, that someone may have been prompted by jealousy over the fact that Mrs/Gray hart become reconciled with her husband only recently, following a short separation. during which she lived with her mother here. He was unable to say whether he or Mrs. Gray or the chilflren were the intended victims. The sender had clipped block letters from newspaper headlines and pasted them together to form the address on the package. Inside, a note was formed similarly to make the words: “Beloved Hazel.” Gray said no one in his family was named Hazel and he knew of no one by that name.
