REBUILDING OF STREET CAR CO. IS HASTENED Advancement in Service Is Boasted Forty Years After Mule Cars. 'Forty mr. ago this spring the mule rar <ll abandoned for the elertrle • roller itittm. Thl* I* the nyond of a aeries of articles explaining recent improvements in tb transportation lines in Indianapolis.l BY WILLIAM M’GAL'GHEN Times Staff Writer More than 160.000 passengers ride every day on street cars and busses in Indianapolis. Both to provide for the comfort of a vast army of citizens and to facilitate traffic in the city, Indianapolis Railways has embarked upon'a complete modernization program. Results of this $3,800,000 effort are showing on trolley and bus lines throughout the city. Unsightly, cumbersome street cars are giving way rapidly to speedy cars dressed in an attractive color scheme of royal blue and canary yellow. New Buses Used Low-slung buses of the latest mechanical design are replacing the old-type bus that crowded the street and filled the air with choking gas fumes. Trackless trolleys, a type of transportation vehicle that is coming into vogue for light traffic purposes, are giving the customers some "curb service’’ on several city lines and is! to be used more extensively in the future. By the end of the summer, Indianapolis will have the largest trackless trolley system in the United States. Forty-two miles of trackless trol- ; ley route will be laid by fall. Only Chicago, with twenty-three miles ; of track can be compared with Indianapolis in this respect. Buys New Street Cars In the entire United States, 143 trackless trolleys were built during 1933 and 1934. Ninety-five of these were for Indianaoplis. Eighty-seven new street cars have been built in the United States since 1931. Os this number, seventy-five were built for Indianapolis. As the foremost leader in the country in the improvement of tHe j public transportation system, Indianapolis has attracted wide spread j attention. Railway experts, city officials and j engineers have come to Indianapolis from San Francisco, Chicago. Winnepeg, Detroit, Toledo, Kansas City and Des Moines to inspect the 1 improvements made here. Among the innovations on the i new street cars are seats uphol- j stored in genuine Spanish leather, inlaid linoleum on the floor, an electricalll-heatetj system controlled by thermostat, and individual seats.; In the interests of safeety. the j new cars are equipped with the ] latest type of compression brake, j The cars have two additional mo- j tors, electric windshield-wipers and are foot-controlled. Public Is Enthused The public has shown an enthusiastic response to the up-to-date equipment and the patronage has sharply increased as the result. For the Indianapolis Railways system as a whole, the gross revenue of the company has shown a 15 per cent increase in January and February of this year as compared to 1933. Shortly after the installation of the trackless trolley on the River- j side-South Meridian line, an increase of more than 14 per cent in revenue was shown. On this line, the company bought eleven trackless trolleys to find out how the public would receive them as a transportation vehicle. The response was so great and the passenger traffic showed such a marked increase that it was necessary to provide four more cars to I handle the crowd. Program Is Advanced With such favorable reception on the part of the public, Indianapolis Railways decided to go ahead with their modernization program with greater speed than originally intended. By the middle of the summer there will be in operation in Indianapolis seventy-five new street cars, ninety-five new trackless trolleys and thirty new gasoline busses. Under the original plan, the company was to carry on a ten-year rehabilitation program. This would bring the modernization plan to completion in 1942. The company has been carrying out the program with such speed, however, that company officials say the transportation system will be modernized completely by the end of 1934. Arrest Two on Lottery Charges Two men were arrested yesterday afternoon by Sergeant Edwin Kruse on lottery charges. They are John C. Potter. 42. of 273 East Minnesota street, and Larwrence Verbarg. 1310 Linwood avenue. Police charge that they found lottery tickets in the possession of the men.

Central avenue and Fortyseventh street, is a busy place these days with the events celebrating its twenty-five years of service on the north side. Tonight a capacity audience is expected to witness a pageant, “A Quarter Century of Progress." which was written for the occasion by Mrs. I Josephine Duke Motley. The pageant traces the development of the church from the little ; Sunday school which used to meet in the schoolhouse to the occupancy of the present beautiful church building, five years ago. More than fifty persons will take part in the pageant. Tomorrow activities begin with the church school at 9:30 a. m. The classes and departments will meet as usual at 10:30. but will adjourn to the church auditorium at 9:50,! where they will hold a school assembly and witness the mode of running the school as of a quarter century ago. The morning church service will be held at 10:45 and new members welcomed into th church fellow- ■

terested in this type of singing are welcome to this musical group. The repertoire of this choir is far more extensive than that of the average choir, including besides this requiem, which has been termed “an opera in ecclesiastical clothes,” such works as Dvorak's “Stabat Mater” and Mendelssohn’s “Lobgesang.” This group was the first in the middle west to give

! ship at that time. The pastor's ser- | mon will be appropriate to the occai sion. Following the morning service of worship, a basket .dinner will be served in the dining room under* the supervision of the deaconesses.

P. Gouthey’s subject tomorrow afternoon as he begins the sixth week of the evangelistic campaign which he is leading at the Cadle Tabernacle. At the evening service his subject will be Last, Times and Last Things, or What Next in the Light of History and Prophecy.” Dr. Gouthey, an eminent scientist as well as evangelist, has been presenting the unusual type of message in a fearless manner, praising things that should be commended and condemning things which he deems to be wrong. While many people have been greatly suprised at some of his seemingly bold statements, they are based on facts and many puzzling Bible points have been cleared up. Each Friday evening in a special young people’s rally service he is preaching on a series of messages concerning “The Providential Workings of God in History.’” Last night his sermon was based on the value of the Battle of Waterlooo, and how it affects people today. Preceding each evening service the senior prayer band at the Tabernacle is meeting at 7 o’clock to pray for a city-wide revival. Dr. Gouthey has services each evening except Monday.

INDIANA'S BEER LAW IS UPHELD BY HIGHCOURT State May Curb Liquor as It Desires, Is Ruling in Rosen Case. Constitutionality of the state beer law has been upheld by the supreme court in the Abe Rosen case appealed by the state from Lake superior court. In the lower court, Judge Virgil S. Reiter granted an injunction to Mr. Rosen which permitted him to conduct an unlicensed beer business without interference from the excise department. He had been denied a wholesale permit. Judge Reiter held the law unconstitutional on the grounds that it barred entry into a legitimate business except to those selected by the excise director. Paul Fry. That the state has a right to regulate the liquor business in whatever manner it chooses, was the opinion of the supreme court. The decision, written by Justice Walter E. Treanor, was handed down yesterday afternoon. It reversed Judge Reiter’s findings, dissolved the injunction. All powers of the evcise director and the importer metho dos making tax collections were held valid. INTERNE IS TIED TO TREE RY KIDNAPERS Robbers Leap on Car at Traffic Light.
