NEW ROUTE TO BOOM AIRPORT BUSINESS HERE Plans Under Way to Make Indianapolis Field Flight Center. FAST PLANES ORDERED Canal Zone and Return in 48 Hours to Be Possible. Indianapolis Municipal airport, within the next six months, will become one of the most important and busiest airports in thp nation, with inauguration of a "highball" atrmail line from Chicago, via Indianapolis, to South America. Steps leading toward this consummation were being taken today by W. S. Kenyon, commerce department airways extension superintendent. who is in Indiana negotiating leases for six beacon lights and an intermediate landing field on the Indianapolis-Louisville leg of the route. With opening of the route. It will b< possible for Indianapolis residents to fly to the canal zone and return o'er a week-end, as twenty-four-hour service will be available between Indianapolis and the zone. Even sooner, with installation of speedy, luxurious new Douglas planes on Transcontinental and Western Air route, it will be possible to fly from Indianapolis to New York, transact business, and return the same day. *19.500 Allotted With Increased schedules on both the Transcontinental and Western Air and American Airways, Inc., huge transport planes will be stopping at Municipal airport here on an average of once each hour during the day and night, according to Charles E Cox Jr., airport superintendent. The new lugh-.spepd canal zone and South American link will be accomplished by rerouting the present American Airways route from Chicago to Atlanta, by way of Lafayette, Terre Haute and Evansville, through Indianapolis and Louisville. About, a month ago the public works administration allotted $19,500 to the commerce department to establish facilities for night flying between Indianapolis and Louisville. The La fayett e-Terre Haute-Ev-ansville division will contiue in operation until the lighting beacons between Indianapolis and Louisville are completed, according to Stephen A Cisler, postoffice air mail division superintendent. Fix Beacon Sites Mr. Kenyon is negotiating for plots about 100 feet square for each of the six beacon sites, for which the commerce department pays an average rental of $lO a year. About 100 acres will be required for the intermediate landing field at Seymour. By rerouting the Chicago-Atlanta line through Indianapolis, the government will effect a considerable saving in distance of the line. At Atlanta, mail and passengers destined for South American cities is transferred to planes operating on the Atlantic Seaboard airline and carried to Miami, there transferring to Pan-American Airway planes. Schedules for the Indianapolis section will not be announced until after the beacons are installed.

MORGAN FIRM CHARGING TOP UTILITY RATE Austin Plant of Ex-State G. 0. P. Chief Collects Highest in State. BOARD DEMANDS SLASH Domestic Consumers Pay 14 Cents a Kilowatt Hour. The highest power rate in Indiana was exposed today by the public service commission as that of the Austin Light and Water Company, Austin, Ind. The company is owned by Ivan Morgan, former chairman of the Republican party in Indiana and canning factory proprietor. In a letter to the light company, Sherman Minton, public counselor, declared that the public service commission felt that as rates had been reduced 10 per cent less in 1933 over 1932, that the rate reduction should be passed on the consumer. The letter requests the sharing of the rate reduction with consumer. The Austin company has been purchasing pow r er from the Public Service Company of Indiana at the rate of 3 cents a kilowatt hour up to ninety hours and 1 cent for each additional kilowatt hour, while it had been selling the power to domestic consumers at 14 cents a kilowatt hour. It is pointed out by the commission’s records that while the Austin company is charging the highest power rate in the state, that only a few miles from Austin, the Scottsburg Power Company has passed the rate reduction on to consumers by charging 9 cents per kilowatt hour as a maximum rate and scaled downward according to power usfd.

Mo., Nov. 29.—A mob estimated at 9.000 persons, many of them wildly laughing women, defied a tear gas barrage from officers and a national guard tank corps protecting the Buchanan county jail here early today and lynched a 19-year-old Negro, who had confessed to attacking a white girl. Gasoline was thrown on the still breathing body of Lloyd Warner, the victim, as it swung eight feet above the pavement of a downtown intersection. An approving roar went up from | the maddened throng as flames ; from his clothing flashed into the night. It was the second outbreak of mob | violence in widely separated parts ! of the country since the lynching of two white men for the Brooke Hart kidnaping in California Sunday night. As in California, the mob battered jail doors with a long secI tion of heavy pipe. Claims No Clews Police Chief Charles Enos said today he had made no arrests and that he had no clews as to the identity of the mob leaders. William Sawyer, assistant at-torney-general, came to St. Joseph from Jefferson City, the state capital, to conduct an investigation. Attorney-General Roy McKittrick had ordered him to investigate reports that the lynching was planned yesterday at a luncheon at a local hotel. The Negro was surrendered to the mob by Sheriff Otto Theisen when but one thin door remained between the prisoner and those seeking his life. The battle had waged for five hours, and defending officers had exhausted their tear gas. Theisen said he feared for the lives of ten ether Negroes and sixty white prisonerse confined In the jail. Victim in Serious Condition The Negro's victim, a Jewess, LI years old, is in a hospital here in a critical condition. The attack, which occurred Sunday night, became known after Warner's confession late yesterday. She will be mutilated ior life if she recovers, physicians said. Her name was witheld by agreement. Governor Guy B. Parks tried tenuously to save Warner. National guardsmen summoned from nearby cities to re-enforce the St. Joseph tank company arrived too late to help. The Governor and Attorney General McKittrick said a thorough investigation would be made this afternoon. St. Joseph authorities, however, planned no action against the mob or its leaders.

Earlier, the workmen had refused to reurn to work and had voted to remain on strike until their wage demands were met. While negotiations for settlement of the strike were in progress, a fire of undetermined origin swept a portion of the yards and threatened to destroy the two square mills of stock pens and packing houses. Damage was estimated at $75,000. Hundreds of firemen fought the blaze for two hours. A statement of conditions for ending the strike, issued by Hutchins, provided, besides the 10 per cent wage increase: All men return to their jobs at once; union and company officers enter into direct negotiations for settlement of wage differences; if the two parties fail to agree, the disrupted points will be referred to the regional labor board, and failing of mediation by the board, an arbitrator.-will be selected for final adjudication.
