CUT GAS RATE, HELP BUSINESS, STUMP PLEAUS Lower Price Necessary to Compete With Others, He Points Out. Indianapolis manufacturers must have lower gas rates to compete on even terms with competitors in other cities where natural gas is available, Albert Stump, attorney for the Indiana Gas Service Corporation, declared today. The Indiana Gas Service Corporation petition for introduction of natural gas into Indianapolis was withdrawn from before the public service commission Wednesday after the rommisison indicated plainly that a denial order would be entered. if it were not withdrawn. Withdrawal left Mr. Stump and the petitioning firm in the position of being able to refile the petition, which Mr. Stump announced would be done. Previous Effort Failed Elaborating on his assertion that local manufacturers must have natural gas, Mr. Stump said: ‘ The city of Indianapolis is entitled to relief from extremely high gas rates. It can not be had through the Citizens' Gas Company. There is only one way to do it. That one way is to bring the natural gas from Indiana fields to Indianapolis. “Two years ago, the Manufacturers' Natural Gas Association tried to make natural gas available to Indianapolis and failed through no fault of its own. These employers must have lower gas rates to compete on even terms with their competitors in other cities where natural gas is available.

Big Reductions Offered "The Indiana Gas Service Corporation, requested and urged by these same manufacturers, offers to bring natural gas to Indianapolis and is met with certain objections by the city officials and the Citizens’ Gas Company which are not impossible to overcome. Those objections will be met and the city of Indianapolis again will be given the opportunity to accept natural gas at prices to industrial users of about one-third the present price and to domestic users at about one-half the present price of artificial gas from the Citizens Gas Company. Indianapolis is practically the only city west of the Allegheny mountains not enjoying the economic benefits incident to the use of natural gas. “Both the utility district of the city of Indianapolis and the Citizens Gas Company were given the opportunity two years ago to bring in natural gas and greatly reduce the price to the consumers. Stockholders Are Repaid “We do not believe that the public regards the interests of the security holders of the Citizens Gas j Company’ as a matter more sacred j than the interests of the consumers of gas. “The stockholders of the Citizens Gas Company already have received more than 250 per cent on their investment in the company made about twenty-five years ago. The utility district of Indianapolis, if they care to act for the welfare of the general public, can protect every interest the city has of any value in the Citizens Gas Company, and at the same time bring in natural gas produced in Indiana, without having the natural gas burdened with an enormous charge for bailing out the stockholders in the Citizens Gas Company and paying rent to the old Indianapolis Gas Company at the rate of more than $479,000 a y r ear. Consumers Are Called “The people who must study what foods they will cook with some thought as to how much the gas bill will be. have rights that, we have no doubt, finally will triumph. And the manufacturers who furnish employment to Indianapolis labor have a right to expect that their wants will not be denied much longer, for. fortunately, the public service commission members have indicated their objections to the petition just withdrawn, which must be met. The objections are such that they can. and will be, met. As soon as the people of Indianapolis are awakened to the real situation here as regards natural gas and the Citizens Gas Company, they themselves, will demand immediate action.” BATTALION FIRE CHIEF IS ILL AT HOSPITAL John Fitzgibbons Reported Improved After Serious Attack. Condition of Battalion Chief John Fitzgibbons. 56, of the Indianapolis fire department, was reported improved at St. Vincent’s hospital today where he was taken Wednesday in a serious condition. Fitzgibbons is stationed at engine house No. 13.

Wine and Song Melody Heralds Return of Strong Brew.

By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 3.—A new song was born today, the outgrowth of Mayor Edward J. Kelly’s big “personal responsibility day” at the World’s fair to celebrate repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Author of the lyrls was Aiderman John 'Bathhouse) Coughlin, who has performed yoeman duty in the cause of “personal responsibility” in his forty-year tenure as alderman of Chicago’s first ward. Here is Coughlin’s new song: “Sweet liberty! What do I see? “Lighb wines and beer—Dear heart they're here! “My dreams come true; full steins of brew! “You’re the pretzel of my heart, sweet liberty.” “You sing the song to the tune of the chorus of ‘Sweet Adeline,’ ” explained Coughlin. “I just wrote a chorus because nobody knows the verse anyway. Nov. 8 is going to be a great day in the history of American independence. Some day it will be celebrated just like the Fourth of July.” BANDIT PAIR GETS $313 Anderson Grocer Is Held Up; Thieves Take Auto. By Times Special ANDERSON, Nov. 3.—Two bandits who held up O. D.
