MARTINSVILLE RATE CASE TO HIGHEST COURT Wabash Valley Electric Files Appeal From Decision Here. Action of the Wabash Valley Electric Company in appealing the Martinsville rate case to the United ; States supreme court will lead to a decision settling definitely the ques- ! tlon of whether a utility company , serving several communities with a connected system should be consid- , ered as a whole for rate malting purposes or if its property in each ; community should be the basis for ; rates in that community. The appeal became a reality on Tuesday when the Wabash company filed an assignment of errors in fed- j eral court here. The court on Feb. 16 dissolved an injunction which had barred the Indiana public service commission from enforcing lower electric rates in Martinsville.! Refunds Ordered It was ordered that the company , refund to patrons the excess collected over the lower rates while the case was in federal court. However, Judge Robert C. Baltzell ruled Tuesday that the old. rates will remain in effect until the j appeal Is disposed of. but required ! the company to post $60,000 bond to insure a refund in case it loses in the high court. In the assignment of errors, the company maintains that the court J erred in holding the Martinsville j property a segregated unit for rate- j making purposes. It Is asserted the I court did not determine properly the cost of electricity outside Martinsville and its cost delivered to the substatton in that city. Further, the company contends, the value set on the utility prop- | erty both outside and in Martins- j vilie was less than the true fair | value. The court r'ound the value of the Martinsville equipment to be $101,191. while, the company asserts it should have been $241,176. Charge Unfair Value Another error alleged is the placing by the court of an unfair value on all the company’s property. The utility declares the value to be $5,336,091 while the court set the , figure at $4,594,887. Order of the commission in the , case was issued Jan. 26. 1929. It has been estimated that the lower' rates would have effected an an- ; nual saving of $25,000 for Martinsville patrons. Injunction was Issued at the company's request against enforcement of the new rates and the case was heard by Albert Ward, master in chancery’. His recommendation that j the injunction be dismissed was accepted by three Judges sitting en banc—Baltzell. Will M. Sparks of the United States circuit court of appeals. Chicago, and Thomas W. Slick of the northern Indiana federal court. INVESTIGATES DEATH OF WOMAN TUESDAY Coroner Orders Autopsy on Body of Drug Store Cashier.

JERRY M’AULEY BECOMES SAVER OF SOULS ‘Rat of New York Waterfront' Tarns From Evil to His fallows

Then. too. some still live in the fleih Joaeoh Mitchell. Tims staff writer, has eathered some of their stories, of which the following la the fifth. BV JOSEPH MITCHELL Jerry Pauley, who was known in the stale beer emporiums and cellar dives of lower Manhattan In 1857 as “the toughest sporting man on the Fourth Ward waterfront." sat on his cqfc in a cell in Sing Sing and cried. He had been in prison for five years, repaying society for his high-handed activities as a wharf robber and sloop pirate. He had passed the major part of this time devising ingenious, but futile, plans for a wholesale Jail break. Now, tearful and penitent, he gazed through the bars into the violet Sing Sing twilight. “I'm going to cut out these jailbreak plans," he said to himself, drying his eyes with a brown prison handkerchief. “I am going to stop stirring up trouble and turn over anew leaf.” McAuley just had been escorted, weeping, to his cell by the chaplain. The chaplain had taken him out to the prison office to speak to a visitor, Orville “Awful” Gardner, a former waterfront confederate of Jerry's who had reformed and transformed himself into an evangelist. When Gardner, looking through the bars at his friend, sang a hymn, "Throw Out the Lifeline,” Jerry had sobbed. m n n NOW, McAuley felt better. He looked under the bed and picked up a dusty book. It was the Bible the chaplain had given him five years ago. The convict dusted it off and began to read. It was a bright moonlight night, and Jerry sat beneath his tiny, barred window and read all night. Once the guard, tramping up the corridor, saw him and called out a startled warning. Jerry spoke to the man gently and explained that he was reading the Bible, and the guard, bewildered, shook his head and walked on up the corridor. Jerry rapidly made himself into what is known as a model prisoner. He pleaded with newcomers to take their imprisonment in good grace. In sturdy, full-blood-ed water front language, he dictated tracts to the chaplain. They were published widely. On March 8. 1864, seven long years after he had been dispatched to Sing Sing to serve a fifteen-year sentence for pilfering from wharfs, he was pardoned. The reformed Jerry, a gaunt and contrite Irishman, in a rough tweed suit, returned to the hurlyburly of Water street. He told about his return, by no means triumphant, in one of the mast eloquent, tracts of the period. ‘•Transformed ; or the History of a River Thief.” n • m WHEN I returned to Manhattan,” he wrote, ”1 kept steadily away from my old con-

The old appetite was awakened. “From that time I drank it every day, and it was not long before I returned to stronger fluids. I obtained work in a large hat shop.

Extortion of $5,000 Is Claimed by Pretty Divorcee in Triangle. L f <j United Prrt * WHEATON, 111., May 11.—First came the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la, then there were sugar tarts, then a whole roast duck —and then, blushed motorman Albert Gregory, romance blossomed in a ‘sort of a cow pasture” on a 50minute stopover between trains. Middle-aged Gregory’s story was told from the witness stand, his wife, a co-defendant in Mrs. Jessie Erickson’s suit for recovery of $5 000 and $50,000 damages, looked on. Mrs. Erickson, a pretty divorcee, sued the couple, charging Mrs. Gregory forced her to pay the $5,000, on threats of ‘ notoriety” over disclosure of what the divorce claims was just a mutual interest with Gregory in flowers and cooking. Mrs. Erickson s attorneys claim it was extortion. Mrs. Gregory says it was justified heartbalm. "We exchanged garden plants,” Gregory, motorman on a suburban train, said. "Then she started to bring me pastry on her weekly trips to Chicago. ‘The day before Thanksgiving she gave me a whole roast duck, and the conductor and I ate it. ‘ One spring day in 1925 she rode to the end of the line with me. We had a fifty-minute stopover. So we went down by the Great Western tracks in a sort of a cow pasture.’’ That. Gregory said, was just the beginning of the pastoral love ; lyric. Finally, the motorman disclosed, his wife discovered he had gone to Mrs. Erickson’s home instead of lodge meeting. The $5,000, which Mrs. Erickson . raised to pay Mrs. Gregory by mortgaging her home, went to pay off a $4,500 mortgage on the i Gregory home, the motorman’s wife, who followed her husband as a witness, revealed. Mrs. Gregory said she offered to get a divorce, but that after payment of the $5,000 she took back her errant husband. FORMER GRID STAR ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Harry R.

steal for me when they found I gave them nothing for it. “Then I did the stealing myself. How many narrow escapes from death I had while engaged in this vile trade!” When the bullets from the pistols of irate captains and dock watchmen sped by his head. Jerry became nostalgic for the dusty cell in Sing Sing. He remembered the peaceful nights when he was free to write tracts. Finally, one night when he was trying to steal a rope fender valued at $1 from a ship anchored in a Brooklyn slip, Jerry fell into the water and nearly drowned. When he came up for the third time he cried out, “If I am saved, I really will turn over anew leaf.” Just then his clutching fingers came in contact with a floating timber. He caught hold of it and was saved. Next morning he applied to all the chandlers, sail tailors and fish and oyster merchants on South street for a job, saying, “I will turn my hand to any honest occupation.” His record was known everywhere. He was “The Terrible McAuley,” “Jerry, the Rat," or “Jerry, the Fourth Ward Terror.” Finally, however, his persuasive and promise-making Irish tongue got him a job as a night watchman for a sewing machine factory on lower Broadway. n n * He passed his days preaching. ; glibly, passionately, in the streets. At night he wrote color- j ful, vehement tracts. He urged sailors to reform and broke up saloons. He was not surprised when, one summer afternoon in 1872, a gentleman stepped from a street

U. S. EMPLOYES RAPJ’AY PLEA Oppose Recommendation for Salary Slash. Federal employes in Indianapolis today protested vigorously against recommendations for salary reductions made by the Marion County Committee for Tax Reduction, local unit of the Indiana Association for Tax Justice. The committee’s views are expressed in a circular which is being distributed to employes of stores and other businesses. The circular states the total national income this year will be thirty billion dollars. Federal employes assert that seventy billions is more correct. The committee is publishing the figures in support of its argument that the relation of taxes to income demands drastic reduction of public expenditures, including salaries. Statement of the committee that the average $1,200 annual income of governmental employes federal, state, county and city—was nearly two and one-half times greater last year than the average income of other workers, also drew fire of the federal employes. They assert the figures are incorrect. It is asserted that for the last thirty years pay of governmental employes has lagged behind that of other workers and in relation to living costs. CITES LABOR’S DUTY Pinchot Says Unions Must Lead Economic Fight. By United Prett READING, Pa.. May 11.—Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania today told the state federation of labor ‘‘the right to work is as sacred as the right to live," and urged that organized labor lead the way out of the economic depression. “One thing above everything else organized labor needs today is the firm conviction that the social j measures, the laws, the forward i progress for which it is fighting, bei long to it as a right—not as a gift j from the generals of industry and ! government,” Plnch-i said. Pinchot criticised the relief plans ithat have been advanced as being "built around the benevolence of leaders, not the rights of people."

Halt Spicy Trial; Decree Granted Helene Costello

Cross-Complaint Charging Cruelty Serves to Put End to Sensational Case. By United Prett LOS ANGELES. May 11.—Helene ! Costello, actress, today had a divorce from Lowell Sherman, on a crosscomplaint charging cruelty. Sensational testimony which be- ; gan in trial of Sherman's original suit and which threatened to send the Sherman family skeletons chattering through Hollywood, was cut short when Miss Costello was permitted to file her cross-complaint. She spent but five minutes on the witness stand and was given her decree. ‘‘You charge your husband with cruelty in your cross-complaint?” attorney Milton M. Cohen asked her. ‘Mr. Sherman continually referred to me as his mental inferior, and said constantly that I was not a fit companion for one of his intellectual attainments,” Miss Costello replied. '•'He also said that he made a great mistake in marrying me. He nagged at me constantly on my housekeeping. “He found fault with the amount of money I spent, and charged that I was extravagant, although I was receiving as much or more money salary than he. ‘ His continuous conduct of nagging and fault finding finally forced me to leave our home. I had a nervous breakdown and was forced ! to take a long trip for my health." Judge Thomas Ambrose then granted a divorce on the crosscomplaint and denied Sherman his decree. Under the terms of a property settlement. Miss Costello was unofficially reported to be receiving $32,000. SELECTS JUNE 20 FOR WORLEY CASE TRIAL Baltzell Makes Change in Date at Lawyers’ Conference.

‘RADIO QUACKS' ARE ASSAILED Medics’ New Chief Scores’ Pseudo Scientists. By United Prett NEW ORLEANS. May 11.—An attack on “radio abuses by charlatans” was the first official act of Dr. Edward H. Carey of Dallas, Tex., following his election as president of the American Medical Association. As 5,000 leading medical men from all parts of the country listened, Dr. Carey called on the federal government to charge the radio commission with the duty of protecting the public from ‘‘resourceful charlatans who enrich themselves at the expense of decency, truth and humanity.” ‘The chief danger from quackery,’’ Dr, Carey said, “is less from obvious chariatans than from pseudo-scientists and the overambitious who make exaggerated claims and yet remain in the eyes of the public a part of the scientific world.” The association today stood opposed to sponsoring federal legislation on birth control.

Jerry became the most relentless reformer of the period. n m m • t WAS the wickedest man who 1 ever breathed.” he said in one of his lower-depths sermons. I was born in dear old Ireland. Mv father was a counterfeiter. I lived with my grandmother, the dear old lady. When she knelt on the floor to pray I threw things at her head and she would get up and curse. Then I came to New York and hit Water street like awe U-aimed bomb. “I was a loafer. Never knew what it was to be happy. Head on me like a mop. big scar across my nose. If I had a coat, it was one of the kind with the cuffs up here to the elbows! Split open in the back! D'ye see? Couldn't find a drunker rowdy in the lowest cellar of the waterfront than J. McAuley Esq. No sir! Now look at me, ladies and gents. Look at my coat! It is a good coat!” Jerry would leave his platform and grab hecklers by the coat collar and drag them from the pews. “I can’t afford to have no fighting in front of my mission." he would shout, thumping a troublemaker with his blunt, expert knuckles. MBS r)R a time he left Water street and established in Satan's circus, of West Thirty-second street, a mission called the Cremorne. It was named for a fashionable dive next door. Sometimes tipsy patrons of the dive wandered into the mission by mistake, and Jerry locked the doors and gave them a savage talking to before he let them out. The saintly. booze-fighting, good-natured Irishman's first mission, rebuilt twice, still stands at 316 Water street. Last year, in memory of Jerry, it gave away 67.756 meals to jobless men. It is said that the ghasts of 30.000 reformed drunkards hover about the pews of the mission. Jerry was a good man. He fed many a penniless seaman, peace to his memory. He kept many a broken-hearted woman from jumping from suicide wall at the Battery. He is dust now. He died in summer of 1884 and he was given one of the most impressive funerals of the time. Behind his hearse, bearing flowers, marched 2,000 reclaimed bums. They wept all day. The wake lasted two nights. And. on the afternoon of the funeral, an aged chaplain placed a wreath of roses on a cot In a cell in Sing Sing. ORGANIZE FARM GROUP Agricultural Committee to Work With County Agent.

BRANCH BANKING ITEM IN GLASS BILL ISJTARGET Provision Is Opposed Mors Than Curb on Federal Reserve Funds. BY RAY TUCKER Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON. May 11.—Brand* banking features of the Glass bill,_ which is scheduled for a vote in thsenate late today, have arousedL more serious opposition than pro- < visions designed to prevent use of federal reserve facilities for spccu* lation by great financial institution* in the east. The same western members who insist on legislation curbing easterrv. banks and investment houses araC protesting bitterly against the proposal to permit establishment of 1 " branch banks within state lines..: Senators Norbeck (Rep. N. D.) Blaine (Rep., Wis.) are expectcdto attack the measure with the ar-C gument that branch banking dr>*_ prives small communities of instil tutions best able to serve thetr needs. Charge Unchallenged So far nobody has challenged statements by Senator Glass (Dent.* Va ), author of the bill, that excesi sive use of bank deposits for lation needs be restricted and ished if possible. Despite oppostV tion by banking interests, nobods has taken the floor to dispute Glass' contentions tliat the reserve system has become the plaything of grcaß speculative interests. Nevertheless, there probably wilf be several important amendment * olfered before a vote is taken. Some senators think that five, instead of three, years should be the period within which banks must divorce themselves from their banking af filiates dealing In securities. Others contend that federal examination and regulation of affiliates will be sufficient to remedy existing evils Opposed to Contribution Banking spokesmen also are op* posed to the provision under which j they must contribute to establishment of a liquidating corporation. The bill provides they must bur stock equal to one-fourth of 1 per cent of outstanding time and demand deposits on July 1 1932. Glas, maintains this actually is a smalL j contribution to make for greater safety of the whole banking com-*’’ i munity. Unless somebody starts a filibuster against the measure, anc| there is no sign of such a move, it should pass the senate late this afternoon. Otherwise, it may b displaced by the tax bill, which ia to be taken up Thursday. In that case, there is danger the banking bill may not be acted on at this | session.
