UTILITY RATE CASE DELAYED BY COMMISION Testimony on Consumers’ Costs Is Taken by State Board. Hearings of the Public Service Company of Indiana on a citation before the public service commission to show cause why its rates should not be reduced, will be resumed Tuesday. Shortly before the hearing's adjournment yesterday, L. B. Schiesz, company controller, admitted in testimony that the company prior to 1931 purchased power at .00264 cent from an Insull subsidiary and then sold that power at twenty-five times that rate to resident consumers, thirty-three times that rate to farm consumers, and twenty times that rate to commercial and twenty times that rate to commercial users. Schiesz testified that the resident cost a kilowatt hour was .066 cent, .086 to farm users, and .052 cent to factories and plants. He admitted the company owned a one-fourth interest in the Chicago District Generating Corporation, an Insull property. He said that in 1931 the company sold its interest to the Northern Indiana Public Service Company and bought power in 1932 at .0074 cent a kilowatt hour, or at almost three times the power cost that it had paid in 1931, before sale of interest in the Insull property. Sherman Minton, public counselor, then Interposed with an aside: “Then the authorities in charge of the Tennessee valley—Muscle Shoals project—were not far wrong in the declaration that power consumers have been paying an exorbitant price”? Mr. Shiesz declared that the cost of production was not comparable or by fair basis of comparison because a large part of expenses of the company was in transportation. The power company's expert admitted that the company always opposed municipal ownership of plants. Perry McCart, commission chairman, took issue with Mr. Schiesz when he declared that minimum users of electricity were unprofitable and a liability. He asserted that the very fact that the company opposed municipal ownership was an abrogation of the charge that the small user was an unprofitable customer. PILOT LOST. OBSERVER LANDSJ’LANE SAFELY Spectators Amazed as Careening Ship Averts “Crackup.” By United Pres* BELGRADE. Oct. 7.—Spectators at the royal air competition, near the town of Mostar recently received an exhibition of trick flying which was strictly not on the program. Although the rules explicitly forbade stunting, a plane approached the field and for an hour held the crowds breathless with its loops, fluttering, crazy climbing and hairbreadth diving. When the machine finally landed, officials hastened to the spot, ready to arrest the airman. There was no pilot. They succeeded in pulling the half-unconscious observer, Lieutenant Panitsch, from the plane. After restoratives, Panitsch told the astounded officials that the pilot had been thrown overboard when he lost control over a nearby mountain range, and that he, Panitsch, although never having piloted a plane before, took the controls and endeavored to bring the plane in. His landing safely bordered on the miraculous, airmen said. SURVIVING ‘WALKIES’ TRUDGE ON IN GLEE 44 Contestants in High Spirits as Court Enjoins Cops.
