UTILITY PLOTS TO BAR RATE CUT, IS CLAIM Sherman Minton Hurls Charge at Officials of Public Service Company. ARMED WITH LETTERS Accusations to Be Aired Before Commission at Hearing Monday. Armed with letters to prove his contention. Sherman Minton, public counselor, today charged that an organized effort is being made by Public Service Company of Indiana officials to procure protests from small stockholders against rate reductions. Minton will face company attorneys before the public service commission Monday in an effort to obtain reduced rates throughout the entire ‘ south system - ’ of the company. Should he be successful, it will mean a savings for rate payers in 224 southern Indiana cities and towns. A circular letter to stockholders from President John N. Shannahan of the company and penciled letters from two stockholders, one a widow, j are included in the Minton evidence of an alleged built-up opposition by ! the company. One of the letters set out that dividends have been skipped at the last quarter. Minton alleges that this was done purposely to influence the rate case and pointed out that the company had a $1..193.710 surplus at the beginning of the year. He also asserted that their electric revenues in 1932 amounted to $10,610,654. while electric expense of production and distribution was but $3,094,124. Business Gains, Is Claim Last year, the company paid preferred dividends amounting to $1,046,181. and common of $274,350, according to its annual report. However. 570.811 was drawn from surplus to finance the common stock dividend. Minton contends that the company books show t.hat electric revenues have increased in June and July of this year, as compared to the same months last year. He predicts that with revival of industry under NRA. these increases will con inue and more than recompense the company for any additional expenditures made under the recovery code. NRA Code Is Cited The NRA code expenditures is one point cited by Shannahan in his letter to stockholders as a reason why rates should not be lowered now. Another point set out for stockholders to know is as follows: •How political and promotional activities are striking to make further drastic reductions in our income, thus injuring this business in which you have your money invested. and from which you have been receiving dividends." Closely typewritten on two pages, the letter then outlines and condemns moves now being made to build municipally owned plants. Letter of Protest Written That stockholders have responded to the company president's plea is indicated by letters coming from as far away as Tompkins Corners, N. Y. Frank W. Smith wrote a song letter of protest from there. He is an attorney, Both pencil letters came from Seymour. Ind. The one from the widow reads. "I will rite a few lines in regard of my savings. Sir. I am a widow woman and I have my hard savings invested in the Interstate. It may seem little to you but is lots to me for in my old age. Hope you will do the best you can for us.” The Public Service Company absorbed the Interstate. POST'S CONDITION GOOD World Flier Injured in Plane Crash Thursday at Quincy, 111.

Bailey and eleven co-defendants charged with the kidnaping of Charles F. Urschel, millionaire oil man. The government expected to rest its case at noon today, hurrying the spectacular, dangerous trial to a conclusion. The prosecutors worked in a court room surrounded by heavily armed guards, fearing an underworld attempt to deliver the chief defendant, a bandit and killer. The search for Kelly, Bailey’s lieutenant and alleged accomplice in the Urschel kidnaping, was feverish. He was believed in or near Oklahoma City and every peace officer in the state, warned that he would hesitate at nothing, sought him. He travels in a sixteen-cylinder automobile at terrific speed, accompanied always by his red-haired wife, Katherine.

The messengers and guards, completely surprised, surrendered without resistance. Meanwhile a second bandit car had drawn up behind the first. To this the machine gunners ran. As they speeded down Adams street they collided with an automobile in which three girls and three boys were riding on Halsted street. Both cars overturned, the bandits’ machine swerving up on the sidewalk. Patrolman Miles Cunningham, 35. stepped over to investigate. Without warning, three machine gunners opened fire on him. He fell with a dozen slugs in his body. A patrolman walking with Cunningham took refuge behind a signboard, exchangin several shots with the.bandits, but without effect. While one of the machine gunners kept up a running fire, the others halted the car of S. W. Knowles Jr. of Park Ridge. The men fled several blocks, abandoned Knowles’ car, commandeered another, and continued their flight.

SI,OOO a month. A code of fair competition was drawn and to it affixed the signatures of all six companies. "Since that time one cab company has seen fit to cut rates, thereby making it increasingly difficult for the other companies to live up to the code. If no action is taken to stop the practice of rate cutting it only is a question of time until the other companies will be forced to take the blue eagle off their cabs and operate under the old plan. "This will mean longer hours, decreased wage*_ and men laid off.”

Bandit Imprisons Four in Business Office; Gets S7OO Rifles Safe of Cash After Taping Two Employes to Chairs: Forces Woman, Daughter Into Room, Flees. In the third downtown holdup in two days, a neatly dressed bandit shortly before noon today fled with approximately SBOO from the offices of the Sterling Loan Company, 203 State Life building, 15 East Washington street, after taping two employes to chairs and imprisoning a woman client and her 3-year-old daughter.

Clarence Durnell, 3751 Central avenue, loan firm manager, was in an inner office talking to a client when the bandit walking with a slight limp, questioned Mrs. Moselle Carr, 1639 Ingram street, office employe. “The manager will be through in just a moment,” Mrs. Carr said. The bandit bowed and sat down. When Durnell had finished with the man ahead of the bandit, the latter entered and laid a slip of paper on Durnell’s desk. It read; "This is a holdup.” Woman Bursts Into Tears As the startled Durnell realized what sort of a "customer” he had, the bandit drew a pistol and a pair of pliers, snipping the wires to Durnell's telephone. Forcing Durnell and Mrs. Carr into chairs at the point of a gun, the bandit took out two rolls of tape and bound them to the chairs, slipping a strip across the mouth of each to prevent an outcry. Speedily but efficiently the bandit rifled the office safe, taking only currency and passing up a quantity of silver. Durnell said the total amount was at least S7OO and probably SBOO. Snips Telephone Wires Snipping the wires to another telephone, the bandit prepared to leave and as he did so met a woman , w'hose name could not be learned, and her 3-year-old daughter. "This WOULD happen to me,” said the bandit disgustedly. "What’s the matter?” said the incoming customer, not noticing anything wrong. "I only want a loan on this fur piece.” "Lady, this is a stickup—get back in that inside office so I can tie you up,” said the bandit, again bringing his gun into play. The woman customer burst into tears, crying: "What about my little girl?” "Well,” said the bandit, perplexedly, "If I don’t tie you up, will you stay quiet for fifteen minutes —and quit crying?” The woman tearfully promised to stay quiet "for an hour” and the bandit left. Durnell managed to wriggle himself loose from his bonds before the expiration of the fifteen minutes. INJURIES ARE FATAL TO AIRMAIL PILOT Harold Neff Dies: Shock Blamed for End.

FORD TO PLACE PLANTS UNDER NRA AUTO CODE Takes Steps for Strict Compliance With All Terms of Act, High Official of Detroit Company Reveals. GOES INTO EFFECT ON MONDAY Industrialist “Has No Intention of Violating* Pact,” Asserts Executive; Wage Increase Is Believed Near. By United Pres* * - ~ DETROIT, Sept. 22.—Henry Ford, who alone of the major industrialists turned a deaf ear to the NRA, today took steps that will bring his huge plants in strict compliance with all terms of the automotive code, a high Ford official revealed. Effective Monday, Sept. 24. workers in the Ford plants are to be placed on a thirty-two-hour week, the United Press informant disclosed. This is a reduction of eight hours from the present forty-hour week.

TRAFFIC SIGNS ARE SENT OUT Semaphores to Be Used in Emergencies, Asserts Capt. Johnson. With a preponderance of votes cast for reinstallment of semaphores at downtown street intersections in The Times signal tower vote, hopes of motorists were raised today when a truckload of semaphores left police headquarters. But citizens who favor the hicktown" semaphore method of handling heavy traffic were disappointed when it was found that the new semaphores were of the variety which light and are for use at strategic intersections downtown at dusk or on foggy days. Captain Louis Johnson of the police traffic division ordered the new semaphores installed on curbs near the street intersections for emergencies. The Times vote was 20-1 for reinstallment of the signal tower system.

Witnesses to three recent Indiana bank robberies, including the $24,000 Massachusetts Avenue State bank job here three weeks ago, were en route to Dayton today in an effort to identify John Dillinger, alias John Hall, 30, held by police there. Dillinger, in whose room Dayton police say they found five revolvers, a large quantity of ammunition, and $2,604, believed part of the Indianapolis bank loot, is understood to have been identified as one of the local bank bandits by photographs. He has been Public Enemy No. 1 on the list of Captain Matt Leach, state police head, who with Detectives Claude Dozier and Harvey Hier went to Dayton early today. Other officers en route to Dayton with witnesses include City Detectives Emmet Englebright and Ernest Whitsett, and Forest Huntington, private detective for insurance companies, who aided Leach in tracing Dillinger. Huntington is seeking to connect Dillinger with the Daleville and Montpelier bank robberies. Dillinger is shspected by Leach of leading a gang in nearly a score of bank robberies in Indiana, Ohio and other midwest states .during the summer months. Officers first suspected Dillinger when they were told one of the bandits leaped into the cashier s cage before the bank employes knew they were being held up. This, according to state police, is a habit attributed to the prisoner, who in other robberies was reported as leaping into tellers’ cages "like a panther.” Police said Dillinger was wanted in connection with a number of Ohio bank robberies and he probably would not be released to Indiana officers until after he is tried in Ohio.

It is the present intention to operate the plants for at least six weeks on the thirty-two-hour schedule and then resume the normal Ford for-ty-hour week, with only such variances as will give the strictest compliance with the thirty-five-hour week maximum set up in the code. Ford workers now virtually are back to the famous $5 day which startled the world in 1914. The minimum hourly wage in the Ford plants is now 60 cents an hour, with as high as $1.35 hourly paid for some processes. The wage scale gradually has been lifted since Aug. 1. The aim of the company is a $6 minimum day soon. Today, 3,000 of the 5,000 veterans Ford is hiring were at work in the plant and others were being added to the pay rolls as rapidly as they are certified by American Legion officials here. The men are all to be selected from the Detroit area. The official told the United Press it was probable that the altered working hours would mean additional employment. "Ford intends to conform to the code by working his men on an average of thirty-five hours for w'eek," the official stated. "Ford has no intention of violating the code.” Wages were raised from $4.00 to $4.80 for certain types of labor following Presidential approval of the code. Though no official announcement was forthcoming regarding either the hours or w r ages, those familiar with the company believed there might be a further w'age increase soon. This, they said, would be given to offset the total earning pow r er of the workers under the shortened hours. No Notice Received No official notification of the Ford Motor Company’s acceptance of NRA automobile code has been received at the local assembly plant, 1315 East Washington street, according to R. A. Hayes, manager. WAGE-EARNERS STAY WELL IN DEPRESSION Death Rate Low, Both in America and Canada. fcV/ Science Sen ice NEW YORK.
