CHIEFS OF CITY PLANTS DEMAND NATURAL GAS Leading Manufacturers Take Determined Stand to Oppose Purchase of Citizens Company. DEFINITE PLEDGE IS INSISTED UPON Cite Rates Now Prevailing as Answer to Whole Problem; Warns of Action in Resolution. Unless natural gas is promised, leading city manufacturers will oppose granting Indianapolis a $9,000,000 federal loan for purchase of the Citizens Gas Company. Demand for introduction of natural gas under threat of opposing the loan is contained in a resolution of the Manufacturers’ Natural Gas Association, Inc., filed today with the local advisory hoard of emergency public works administration. Membership of the manufacturers’ association includes leading local firms such as E. C. Atkins & Cos., J. D. Adams

Manufacturing Co-, Link-Belt, Cos., Kingan & Cos., Advance Paint Cos., and the Lilly Varnish Cos., as well as more | than thirty other firms. “The association is opposed to the '■ amended application as it now stands, because it affords no definite assurance of service of natural gas to the consumers of the city,” the resolution declares. It is pointed out that present Citizens Gas Company rates for artificial gas figure approximately $1.67 for a 1.000 cubic feet of heat units equivalent to natural gas content. This present rate “is more than two and one-half times higher" than natural gas rates prevailing in other cities, but the local gas company still is unable to operate at a profit, it is declared. Attack High Price “It would be extremely unwise j and uneconomic from every point j of view to add to the present capital investment of the Citizens Gas j Company for the purpose of manu- : facturing artificial gas,” the state- | ment declares in opposing plans for ! increasing the company's facilities under municipal ownership. Funds obtained from the proposed loan should be used for introduction of natural gas “instead of using said funds for manufacturing artificial gas and thereby perpetuating a high price of gas in Indianapolis, both to domestic and industrial consumers.” Ask Sound Program • The Manufacturers Natural Gas Association. Inc., is not opposed to municipal ownership of the Citizens Gas Company property by the city of Indianapolis through its utility district, provided this can be done under proper conditions." the statement declares, and continues. “Such ownership should be predicated definitely upon a sound program that will result in undoubted benefit to the consumers.” Opposition to the present plan of the city is “for the reason that the amortization charges on the contemplated loan will exceed in a considerable sum the only saving to be effected by such loan, namely, the saving of the difference between the interest rate on the loan and the present interest and dividend charges.” See No Reduction No appreciable reduction in consumers’ rates could be accomplished in face of these increased expenses, it is declared. “If the investigation and survey should prove that mixed gas would be suitable for domestic use and fair to the domestic consumer, then such portions of the existing manufacturing piant as are necessary to produce a sufficient amount of natural gas could be maintained,” the statement suggests. “A great many manufacturers not now customers of the Ctizens Gas Company because of the excessive price of artificial gas would use large quantities of straight natural gas. Vthich would yield a profit to the city." is offered as an additional reason for the city to plan on using natural gas in a municipal plant.

M'NUTT DENIES KIDNAP THREAT Alleged ‘Terror Mob’ Plot to Raid Danville Also Scorned. Both Governor Paul V. McNutt and Captain Matt Leach of the state police deprecated reports published today that evidence had been found of alleged plots to kidnap the Governor and raid Danville banks by the “terror mob” of escaped convicts. “Do I look worried?” the Governor asked, smiling. Wayne Coy, my secretary, received a greasy piece of newspaper upon which some cryptic words and pictures had been drawn, purported to be a plan of Danville banks. It was turned over to the state police as a matter of routine.” The Governor revealed that he had paid no further attention to the paper after turning it over to Captain Matt Leach and had forgotten completely about it until a report of the incident appeared in a newspaper today. “Poof-poof!” said Captain Matt Leach when asked his opinion of the "evidence” today. “There's nothing to it. We sent two men to Danville about two weeks ago to investigate the matter. There's nothing to it. Just one ot those things. We have too many alarmists abroad right now." COLDER WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR CITY Mercury Drops 7 Degrees in Three Hours.

Afghanistan’s King, Victim of Assassin, Is Lauded as Great Ruler by His Former Dentist, Now Studying in Indianapolis

BY HELEN EIVDSAY Times Staff Writer AN assassin's hand, which took from Afghanistan one of the twentieth century's most powerful kings, removed from the acquaintance of Dr. John Sproule, who is visiting in Indianapolis, a close friend and patient. King Nadir Shah, who was assassinated yesterday, had been a patient of Dr. Sproule and his partner in India, where they practiced dentistry. Included in their list of patients were such dignitaries as King Nadir Shah, the viceroy of India, and the maharajahs of India. 'King Nadir Shah was a well

U. S. Releases $10,500,000 Fund to Save 140 Banks in State by ‘Thawing Out’ Frozen Mortgages

REPEAL HERE, STATE STUDIES WHISKY PLANS Method of Handling Hard Liquor Vague: Public Is Lukewarm. Now that repeal of the eighteenth amendment is a fact, and no longer a subject for heated street corner debate, it appears that those interested in liquor sales, including the public in general, are in doubt just what to do with it. Only the vaguest of ideas are in the minds of sales outlets regarding production, prices or plans after Dec. 5, when the mechanics of repeal will be completed. Locally, the indefiniteness undoubtedly is traceable to the fact that no state control system of hard liquor has been established. Although speculation has been rife on this question, with the concensus favoring control under the present beer plan, the statehouse authorities have made no definite announcement. Opinion Is Rejected It was learned yesterday that the long looked-for ‘ opinion” from At-torney-General Philip Lutz Jr., to Governor Paul V. McNutt, had been rejected. Submitting his suggestions on hard liquor control, in memorandum form, Attorney-General Lutz was instructed to clothe the ideas in more dignified garb by writing an official opinion. Several days ago, Mr. Lutz indicated that his ruling would advise sale of hard liquor for home consumption, but would prohibit by the drink” sales. With no mode definite information on which to work, local persons interested in liquor distribution are making time and confining activity to supplying the demand for prescription whisky without attempting, at present, to broade the market. Reception Luke Warm Another reason for the tepid reception is that a number of potential investors in liquor businesses admittedly had their fingers burned shortly after the return of legal beer. Despite the stimulus of draught beer, the entire industry is in the throes of an expected seasonal slump, to say nothing of the failure of consumption to reach an anticipated volume. "Who knows whether the public will take to hard liquor in quantities sufficient to support any great number of sales outlets?" asks one authority on the subject. Volume Overestimated "Personally, I think the volume of hard liquor business is overestimated and greatly exaggerated,” he continued. “There undoubtedly will be federal and state taxes amounting to about $5 a gallon, to say nothing of the cost of permits and general overhead. "The sale of medicinal whisky on prescriptions has not been up to expectations, despite the fact that the necessary ‘doctors’ orders’ are not hard to obtain. "With beer and wine abundant, I believe there will be a fairly limited consumption of hard liquor, and most of that will be of the ; cheaper blended brands, which will retail from $1.75 to $2.25 a pint.” Alcohol. W'ater Added According to authorities on the subject, the blended grades of whis'ky will be in general use for the next four years, until the distilleries have an opportunity to increase production of aged, bottled-in-bond. The blended brands, it is explained, are in two classes. The true blended grades are mixtures of various well-known aged brands. By this method, quantities of pure whisky, varying in age. are mixed, to give the purchaser uncut liquor. The other method, producing a whisky also known in the trade as "blended." involves cutting aged whisky with grain alcohol and dis- | tilled water. Naturally, it is not as palatable as the true blend, but it , is believed it will be acceptable to drinkers brought up on bootleg brands. The lower price, naturally, will have an appeal. Such plans of distribution •as have been contemplated, in view r of the unsettled conditions, point to pharmacies as the principal retail i outlets.

"He had given the country an electr ica 11 y-heated hospital, equipped with 100 beds, and had made repeated efforts to improve traveling conditions in his country.

Plan of McKinney, Tried in Morgan County, Wins Federal 0. K. Approval of a program instituted by E. Kirk McKinney, state manager of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, to thaw out approximately $10,500,000 assets in state banks and to relieve desperate conditions of mortgagees, was received here today. Following receipt in Washington of complete details regarding operation of the plan at the People’s State bank at Ellettsville, Monroe county, federal authority was given for extension of the plan to approximately 140 other state banks, Mr. McKinney said. Although not known definitely, it is expected that the suggestion by Mr. McKinney will be used in other states where similar frozen banking conditions are working hardships on creditors and debtors, alike. Half in Closed Banks In Ellettsville. thirty-three mortgages w r ere refinanced, which put $50,500 in Home Owners’ Loan Corporation bonds in the bank’s vaults to replace mortgages, Mr. McKinney reported. Os the $10,500,000 expected to be released, approximately half of the amount is held in eighty-three Class B and restricted banks, where operation has been impaired since the spring "bank holiday.” The remainder is in closed banks, now operated under receiverships or by liquidating agents, Mr. McKinney said. Because of the pinched financial condition of all of these institutions, they are unable to renew mortgages, even when the security is the best, it is pointed out. Banks Pay Costs Home owners are unable to renew their mortgages, and officials in charge of the banks have no alternative except to sell the property at greatly depreciated prices, which results in losses of from 25 to 75 per cent to depositors, Mr. McKinney declared. Under the plan conceived by Mr. McKinney, the machinery of the loan corporation is utilized in examining the eligibilty of home owners, with the banks paying supervisory and clerical costs. After the eligibility of the home owner is determined, the regular machinery of the loan corporation is used to "replace the mortgages with its own bonds, while the owner is saved from loss of his property. * 300 Banks Restricted Mr. McKinney w'as expected to visit South Bend today for a conference with officials o fthe American Trust Company, a restricted institution. regarding release of about $2,000,000 in mortgages. Lafayette and Ft. Wayne institutions probably will be benefited by the plan, also. Mr. McKinney said today. Other banks and home owners will be relieved as soon as possible, it is said. Mr. McKinney said he understood that of the 585 state banks, about three hundred now are restricted or closed, and that practically all may receive some benefit from the mortgage liquidation. 12 PUBLIC LINKS WORKERSARE FIRED Park Board Claims S2OO Weekly Saving. Twelve park board employes at municipal golf courses were discharged today- to reduce expenditures, in accordance with suggestions of A. C. Sallee, park superintendent. It was explained that a saving of approximately S2OO a week will result from the payroll cut. A special meeting will be held by the board next Thursday to discuss other details in Mr. Salee’s program. Included in the proposed measures is a suggestion by The Times that Coffin golf course be rented to an independent operator. Other points are closing of community houses, and discontinuation of golf course operation during the winter. Philippine Women to Get Vote By United Press MANILA. P. 1.. Nov. 9.

He pointed out that a jail or prison sentence, which was dishonorable to men of western culture, meant nothing to his subjects.

PETERS DIMS G. 0. P GLEE OVERJLECTION State Democratic Chief Blames Press for Tammany Rout. Republican leaders this afternoon pointed gleefully at the New York mayoralty election as an indication of waning Democratic power, but R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, deprecated the result as having any significance in the national political trend. 4 Mr. Peters rather credited editorial blasts of the New York press against Tammany Hall for the victory of Fiorello La Guardia, fusion candidate, over Joseph V. McKee, recovery candidate, and John P. O’Brien, the Tammany choice. McKee had thrown behind him much of the prestige of the Roosevelt administration through his espousal by Postmaster-General Jim Farley, the President’s patronage chief. Democratic Votes Lead Many political observers viewed the La Guardia victory as a direct slap at the administration and an indication of waning prestige. Closely linked to Farley through personal as well as political ties, Mr. Peters takes a divergent view of the La Guardia victory. Pointing out that the combined vote of the two Democratic candidates exceeded that cast for La Guardia, Mr. Peters said: No National Aspect "The result of the New' York City election is. not significant, in my opinion, in relation to national aspects of the political trend. The bitterly fought campaign centered about issues that were exclusively local in character. "For many years practically all of the New York newspapers persistently have attacked the Tammny Hall organization. That circumstance doubtless was a factor in the recent election. "It is a noteworthy fact that the combined vote of the two Democratic aspirants for mayor was substantially larger than that accorded the successful candidate.” 2 BRIDGES BURNED IN FARM STRIKE AREA lowa Spans Badly Damaged But Not Destroyed.

“He gained the assistance of the frontier tribes, returned to Afghanistan, overthrew Bachiasquao, who had assumed power, and took the throne,” Dr. Sproule explained. “He found the treasury depleted at that time, according to his statement, and had to put to death a number of officers of the government in order to place men of his own choice.” Dr. Sproule is in Indianapolis for a year, practicing dentistry while he continues studies in Indiana university and Butler university.

states, and $60,000,000 from Mr. Hopkins' organization. It is planned to take from relief rolls 2,000,000 out of the 3,000,000 families on relief, and give their bread-winners thirty-hour-week jobs at the prevailing local wage. The rest will have their relief standard raised to as near SSO a month as possible. Direct relief and pork, beef, butter and flour supplies will be. continued. The new' jobs, it is declared, will not compete with the Ickes program. Men will be hired chiefly on such local projects as park and playground buildings, traffic schemes, sanitation, public building renovation, athletic fields, swimming pools, feeder highways and scores of other types of work that can be put into operation at once. At the same time the federal government plans to push a number of new bureau projects that will give thousands of men work at the earliest possible moment. These include: Malarial mosquito control in seventeen states under auspices ol the public health service. SurgeonGeneral Homer S. Cummings has said that malaria causes an annual loss in these states of more than $500,000,000. Pest control w'orks under the department of agriculture, including grasshopper prevention, fruit and forest tree insect extermination, rodent and other pest eradication. Coast and geodetic survey work, mapping, surveys and similar projects. Sanitary works, including the building of 150,000 sanitary latrines in five southern states, and similar projects in other states. Administrator Hopkins urges that all projects under the new workrelief plans be selected, first, w’ith regard to their ability to employ men quickly, and, next, to their social usefulness. He says the work contemplated will not compete with the slower types of construction being built under PWA.
