WATER FIRM TO APPEAL BAN ON RATE INCREASE Plans Court Fight Against Injunction; Refund* If Upheld. An appeal from Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams' decision, holding increased rates to larger water consumers illegal, will be caried ta the state supreme court. This was announced today by officials of the Indianapolis Water Company. Williams has issued a temporary Injunction preventing collection of rate increases from eight apartment and realty companies, headed by T. A. Moynahan. The order dors not affect directly the domestic consumer whose minimum rates were decreased from $1.50 to SIOB under a compromise with public service commissioners. An amendment to the decree indicated the water company might request the service commission to revise its entire rate schedule. However, company officials, H. 8. Schut.t of Philadelphia and Howard S. More, Indianapolis, general manager. declined to say whether such petition would be filed. The water company announced It would forego increases of other large consumers, pending appeal, providing they posted bonds to protect the company and collection of rates. Those who pay increased rates, it was announced, will receive refunds of the excess amounts, should the appeal ba last In the higher court. Williams’ order temporarily enjoined enforcement of the new rate schedule to large consumers, and prohibits discontinuing service of consumers who decline to recognize the new rate. Rates under the April 1 schedule have resulted in reductions to 67 per cent of the company's customers the statement said.

The Bidding The bidding was South one dia-

[ mond, West two clubs. North two spades, East three clubs, South pass, West pass. North bid three diamonds. East four clubs. South pass. West pass. North bid four diamonds. East pass. South pass, West four hearts. North bid five diamonds and East doubled. The Play West won the opening trick with the king of clubs and then led the six of hearts which Von who was the declarer, trumped in dummy with the three of diamonds. A small diamond was led from dummy and won by Von Zedtwitz in the Soutn. West showed out, discarding a club. A small spade was then led to dummy's queen and won by East with the ace. If East were to return a club, Von Zedtwltz's contract would be defeated, but East made the mistake of leading the ace of hearts which was trumped in dummy with the six of diamonds and Von Zedtwitz could then see the possibility of a triple squeeze. The king of diamonds was led from the dummy, followed by the nine of diamonds, South winning with the jack. West discarding a club, now being down to the ace. The queen of diamonds next was led and West discarded a heart, and now South led his last diamond and West was squeezed on all three suits. He held the jack and nine of spades, the queen and ten of hearts, and the ace of clubs. If he discarded the ace of clubs. Souths queen wa s good—if he discarded the ten of hearts, South's king and jack were both good, while if he discarded the nine of spades, all the spades in dummy would be good While the contract could easily have been defeated, you will notice that Von Zedtwitz was not slow' to take advantage of his opponents' mistake.

LESLIE DENIES LUESSE ABUSED IN PENAL FARM Tells Unemployed Group Prisoner Is TroubleMaker. Charge that Theodore Luesse is being abused and mistreated in solitary confinement at the Indiana state penal farm was denied today by Governor Harry G. Leslie. The charge had been made to the Governor by a committee of unemployed demonstrators at the statehouse Monday, They are armed with affidavits from purported former farm prisoners, which set out that the unemployed leader was the subject of discriminatory treatment. He has served most of May in solitary confinement, the affidavits set out. Luesse was sent to the farm more than a year ago by Judge Frank Baker of criminal court, upon conviction <sf leading unemployed in an effort to thwart an eviction. He is now serving out a SSOO fine, which Baker added to the one year sentence. Members of the delegation said Luesse's service of the year ended Sunday. Leslie denied Luesse ever has been mistreated at tthe state institution and told the delegation he had discussed the situation with Superintendent Clifford Craig. "Since the day of his arrival he has violated the rules and whenever he is placed in solitary he can get out by agreeing to live up to the rules like any other prisoner," Leslie said. “If he would agree to come out

and be a law abiding citizen, instead of a constant trouble maker he might even secure a parole. "But I do not want to have the responsibility of releasing him to find him back in the hands of the police the next day.” An affidavit from Glenn Emmett Mulford. charged that Luesse protested against not receiving the same amount of food at mess as did other prisoners, and as a consequence was placed “in the hole,” which is the prisoners' term for a solitary confinement cell. After nine days he was released from solitary and “looked sick, wornout and was bleeding from the nose.” the affidavit states. After a week of work on the road he again was placed in solitary and is still there, the affidavit states. .The other affidavit, containing somewhat similar charges, was
