UTILITY HEAD IS DENOUNCED FOR HIS FINANCING Threa Federal Judges Hear Cuthbertson Defend Rate Cut Order. High utility finance, as practiced by George H. Alexander, now under indictment in Knox county for perjury in connection with testimony regarding his opcrtion of the Vincennes Water Company, was scored today in federal court by Harry K. Cuthbertson, public service commissioner. The commissioner defended his order reducing the rates of the Frankfort Heating Company of which Alexander is owner, general manager and treasurer. This is the first time a commissioner has ever appeared in behalf of his own order. The commission in January ordered a reduction of rates from 36 to 30 cents on each square foot of radiation. The order, however, stipulated that if the company kept up its annual $7,000 depreciation fund, the rates would be reduced only to 33 cents. Three Judges Hear It Alexander, through his attorney, Clyde E. Jones, obtained a temporary restraining order, Feb. 1, from Judge Thomas Slick of South Bend, sitting in the absence of Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Hearing today was on the motion to make the restraining order a temporary injunction, with Judge Will Sparks of the circuit court of appeals sitting with Judges Baltzell and Slick. Cuthbertson charged record reveal that Alexander took SBO,OOO, which accumulated in the depreciation fund, and paid it out in dividends. He also charged that, beginning four years ago, the $7,000 annual depreciation fund was placed in the personal account of Alexander as treasurer of the company and it had been used by him to purchase the stock so that today, he is the sole owner. The commissioner pointed out that Alexander had been collecting ft,500 a year while acting as general manager of his own property, £nd a resident manager, who did ae work, had been paid approximately SIOO a month. Cut to Only $5,000 “After the issuance of our order the company—which means Alexander—cut the general manager’s annual salary only to $5,000 in the face of our stipulation that it be $1,200 a year,” he said. Cuthbertson introduced testimony and records to show the heating company sent to Boston for an appraisal engineer, who spent three days at the plant, and after a “cursory" examination, placed the new construction cost of the plant at $462,330 and the reproduction cost, less depreciation, at $424,120 “all for the purpose of obtaining a higher rate from the consumers.” “The company then placed a charge of $1,200 upon the books for the appraisal, all to be borne by the consumer, which the commission disallowed as being too high and now we find that it is carried at $1,500,” he stated. Jones argued that the 30 and 35eent rates were < confiscatory and that the commission was attempting* to penalize the company for not carrying out the order regarding a depreciation fund. The case was taken under advisement.

erby yell, “Stop thief!” now’s your chance. And for pedestrians there’s the yearly chance to be on an equal footing with the motor cars that speed by you. All this is at twenty-first annual auto show at the state fairground. One look at the 191 models on display, and the hoarded “century” notes in the coffee can will come tumbling out. That spirit pervaded the crowed at the auto show Sunday and today. Monday Not Blue For, odd though it may seem, Monday’s never a “blue” one at the annual exhibition of the automotive world. Salesmen are just ripening as purveyors of information about their cars while the early crowd that visited the show as it opened it’s doors today became interested listeners of that information. There are cars for least pocketbooks and balloon bankrolls. There are fours, sixes, eights, twelves and sixteens for those more interested in in horse power and cylinders than in plush and mohair seat covers. Colors are back in the 1932 models with vivid maroons, modest grays, glistening tans, subtle greens, showing in sedans and coupes. Attendance Shows Gain Dealers in accessories vie with automobile exhibitors in proclaiming the merits of their wares. The first two days of the show clearly shows attendance increases over 1931, officials said, and before the week is over they believe crowds will average well over last year’s. Boy Scouts have been invited as guests of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association Tuesday afternoon. E. S. McCurdy of Losey Motors, Inc., sold the show’s first car Saturday when he took an order from O. H. Rudy, local insurance dealer. In the truck division, O. V. Sholty of Sholty Motors, Inc., claimed the first sale. Duesenbcrgs on Display Duesenberg cars, with $15,000 price tage, are being shown at this year’s exhibition. The “Duesies” were not exhibited at the 1931 show. The Marmon Sixteen and Packard “twin” are two of the highlights in the show. Desire of motordom to cater to femininty is demonstrated in many models through upholstering and other gadgets. The show opens daily at 10 a. m. and closes at 10:30 p. m. Illinois, College or Central street cars marked “fairground” will take visitors to the door of the show.

RANSOM NOTE MAYBE HOAX Police Doubt Sportsman Is Held by Kidnapers. By United iy-ess SARANAC LAKE, N. Y„ Feb. 15. The mystery of the disappearance of Harry Blagden, sportsman, became further complicated today when his brother, Thomas Jr., announced he did not believe Blagden was held by kidnapers. Harry Blagden disappeared last week, and on Saturday another brother, Augustus, said he had received a ransom letter demanding SI,OOO for Harry’s return. The note, it was alleged, was written by Harry’ under threat. Thomas denied reports that his brother suffered a nervous breakdown prior to his disappearance, and that he incurred a head injury in an automobile accident two years ago which might have caused him to disappear. He also scoffed at reports that Blagden might have been a suicide. To add further to the complexity of the case, Lieutenant H. C. Herrick of the state police asserted: “To me it looks like just another missing man case. We have no proof the man was forced to write the ransom letter.”

ONE SHOT MAY START WAR, IN BUTLjITS VIEW Single Spark May Set World Ablaze and Involve U. S., General Warns. This is the first of a scries of three interviews with Major-General Smedley D. Butler, retired marine leader, on the war in China. BY PAUL COMLY FRENCH United Press Staff Corresnondent (Copyright. 1932, bv United Press) NEWTON SQUARE, Pa., Feb. 15. —A stray shot from either a Japanese or Chinese gun, causing the death of American women or children, might arouse the dormant' fighting spirit of America and send her into war, Major-General Smedley D.

terview with the United Press. “Consider the sources of our various wars,” Butler said, “and you will note that many were caused by someone incident which aroused the dormant American war spirit. Cites War of 1898

“Take the Spanish-American war, in which I first served with the marines. The sinking of the Maine in Havana brought a long series of smoldering events to a head and aroused the necessary enthusiasm for war. “When the Lusitania went down prior to our entrance into the World war, it was the spark which brought the nation to the point where citizens were ready to fight.” Reflectively, he gazed out the window of his study in the old colonial farmhouse situated in rolling Chester county hills which he and Mrs. Butler have had remodeled for their home. It is here, among peaceful Quaker farmers, that Butler hopes to enjoy the calmness and quietness which he has not known during his more than thirty years with the marine corps, when he completes his present lecture tour. Spark Might Start Blaze “Yes,” he mused, “it wouldn’t take more than a few dead American women and children to start things, I’m afraid. “Underneath the surface of all irfcternational complications are economic rivalries which seldom come into the open. They foster and develop national tensions which sooner or later lead to war. “What good are treaties when a nation feels that its economic future depends on a certain action in a given locality? Just follow the history of the world and you soon can see that, despite treaties, nations go to war when their commercial and economic future, in the opinion of their national leaders, forces such a course. “Japanese marines and bluejackets land in Shanghai. They are stopped by an enemy they have underestimated. Their war spirit has become aroused. More troops are rushed from home, they don’t dare lose ‘face,’ which in the Orient means so much. They must push on ’and capture the Chinese positions at Woosung and Chapei. One Shell May Cause War “And there, too, stand American, British, Portuguese, French, Italian and the Shanghai volunteer defense corps, ready to protect the foreign lives and property in the international settlement. “With the fighting right across the Soochow creek, not more than 100 feet high from the American trenches and sand bag emplacements, it’s not going to be so hard for a few shells to drop into the settlement. “And one of the shells, falling on a mission or a hospital, with attendant loss of life, in my opinion, is all that is needed to arouse the American war spirit. “And that would mean war.” TIED TO BED BY THIEF Negro Woman Helplessly Watches Prowler Ransack Home.

NEW PLAN FOR HUNGER RELIEF BEFORESENATE Oklahoma Democrat Would Increase Amount of Funds for Work. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—A new compromise plan for federal hunger relief will be before the senate when it meets today to continue debate on the La Follette-Costigan bill and the substitute for it which Democrats are sponsoring. The new plan has been drawn by a Democrat, Senator Elmer Thoma3 of Oklahoma, and it may serve as a rallying point for other members of his party if the Black-Bulkley-Walsh substitute is defeated. Like most of the other alternatives suggested during the debate, the new measure increases, rather than decreases the amount of money proposed to be spend in behalf of the unemployed. Thomas wants a billion dollar authorization, instead of the $375,000,000 originally asked by Senators Robert La Follette and Edward P. Costigan. He would have $375,000,000 made available for direct relief as it is in the original bill. He includes also the $375,000,000 proposal for federal road building which La Follette and Costigan have accepted out of the first Democratic substitute. To these he adds $250,000,000 which he would make available for initiating the general program of public construction set forth in the report of the federal employment stabilization board last January on a six-year federal construction program. The fate of all relief bills lies largely in the hands of Democrats, as a final vote approaches. Conservative Republicans, for the most in its opposition to federal relief. Liberal Republicans will be for it. Democrats will decide the issue as definitely as in the Democraticcontrolled house of representatives. If a relief bill finally is passed which contains something between a quarter and three-quarters of a billion dollars for public works, this will probably end all possibility of action at this session on the more elaborate public works program sponsored by liberals at the beginning of the session. BiHs proposing bond issues to permit public works programs of from two to five billion dollars have been introduced and are pending before congress.
