LAWYERS WILL FILE BRIEFS IN WATER BATTLE Bitter Oral Arguments in Moynahan Rate Case Are Concluded. Bitter oral arguments conclude, attorneys will file briefs Thursday with Supuertor Judge Joseph R. Williams, in the suit filed by the T. A. Moynahan companies to enjoin the Indianapolis Water Company from collecting increased rates. Charges and threats were hurled Monday afternoon and the hearing finally ended in the agreement to file briefs with Williams. Carl J. Wilde and A. B Cronk. attorneys for Moynahan. contended the increase in rates for larger consumers was unlawful and that water rates can not be made upon agreements. Warns of Increase William L Ransom of New York and Joseph J. Daniels of Indianapolis. represented the water company and Ransom stirred up the battle with the threat that if any part of the present rate schedule is overthrown.. the company will seek an increase in rates. "Your honor sees exactly how these rates were obtained.” said Wilde. "It was at the point of a gun, leveled at the head of the public service commission—a gun that now is leveled at the head of your honor." "The gun," said Ransom, “was pointed at the head of the water company. We agreed to these rates reluctantly. These rates were reached by agreement." Agreement Claim Denied "Rates aie not reached by agreement." shouted Wilde; "they are based on evidence. They are made by agreement regularly.’” said Ransom. "Not in this state." was Wilde’s reply. "I have practiced before the public service commission and I know." The suits for injunction were brought by T. A. Moynahan in behalf of eight apartments and realty companies.

EUROPE VIEWS U. S. AS ‘JOKE/ SURVEY SHOWS Respect Lost, Says Cigar Magnate: Hits Tariff and Prohibition. By United Prr* NEW YORK. May 3.—The United States, once respected in Europe as a mighty financial power, is looked upon by Europeans as "a joke" today. according to Samuel T. Gilbert, president of the Deisel-Wem-mer-Gilbert Corporation of Detroit, who returned aboard the Bremen today from a two months' visit abroad, studying business conditions. Gilbert, one of the largest cigar manufacturers in the country, said conditions in Europe are not good, but "they are not as bad as they are in this country.” "Europeans think that the government of the United States has permitted the stock racketeers to sell the country short,'" he said. “I found the dollar is selling below par in Holland. You can’t expect to attract foreign capital unless our securities are stabilized. "The day of pride in the American dollar is gone definitely. All Europe is afraid of us and our securities. They believe that the

situation is growing worse in this country as each day passes, and they feel that nothing constructive is being done about it. "They are amazed that we don't take the obvious course—that of repealing the eigtheenth amendment. They know that raising taxes won’t help the situation. Speaking for the corporations. I can say that we haven’t any money to pay higher taxes. If they are raised. e only will be worse off tomorrow. "Undoubtedly Mr. Hoover will have to accept responsibility for this state of affairs. He has built up a tariff wail that ha* prevented

other countries from doing business with us." Tobacco. Gilbert said, is the only commodity Europe is anxious to buy. The tobacco and cigar business. he said, is not good, but it is not as bad as some other businesses. He feels It should pick up shortly. "One of the great mistakes the people are making nowadays." he said, "is failure to advertise. Just because times are bad. You've got to keep advertising if you want to sell. "There’s one thing selling big in America today. That’s liquor and it’s being advertised from hand to mouth by everybody. Liquor is the biggest business of America."
