general fund of the city as a profit from the municipal operation of the system. The last session of the Legislature exempted from property taxes any municipally-owned utility. . “There is no reason to believe that the company would not make money for the City,” Mr. Snethen added. “Of U. S. cities from 200,000 to 600,000 population only Indianapolis and Birmingham, Ala. do not own their water plants.”

Profits Reported

He said he had received reports from 22 major cities and only one of them—Wheeling, W. Va.—was not making a profit. “Louisville last year made $500,000, Milwaukee showed a $900,000 profit, Cincinnati received $360,000. Of the 22 cities, 21 of them make from $100,000 to a million a year.” Mr. Schmidt said the Court House cost $1,750,000 64 years ago and more than two million dollars had been paid in interest on the bonds. “If it took 64 years to pay for the Court House it will take 164 years to pay for the Water Co.” he said. “It looks like another Gas Co. affair to me.” C. C. Livingstone said he had .understood that the price of the company would be 27 million dollars and he knew it had been valued at 19 million dollars in 1924. He asked why the valuation had risen eight million dollars. Mr. Snethen explained that more than seven million dollars in improvement had been made since that time. He said that there had never been a price set on the property and the cost would have to be agreed upon by the Mayor, the Common Council and the Utility District.

Rate Decreases Predicted

Mr. Snethen also stated that $400,000 had been spent in the past seven years in attempts to have the water rates changed. Under City ownership, he said, that money could be saved since the City would set its own rates. While the Public Service Commission has jurisdiction over the rates, he said, cities usually have the power to fix their own rate structure. “I predict a decrease in rates over a period of years,” he added, “under municipal ownership.”

Methodist Conclave Cites Need of Youth Movements

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 20 (U. P.).—The conference uniting the Methodist church’s three largest branches today proclaimed the necessity of youth movements to the everlasting life of Christianity.

EVANGELICAL GROUP

It gave the morning devotional hour and evening service in tribute to youth organizations of the three uniting churches—Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal South, and Methodist Protestant.

Coincidentlly, a subcommittee recommended to the conference's committee on education that youth work be incorporated in one of three departments of a Methodist board of education. One department would supervise Sunday School and youth organizations, another would administer colleges, and a third would edit Sunday School lessons and similar publications. The young people themselves have sought a separate department not under adult leadership.

Decision Is Revoked

Most of the work of the conference today was in subcommittees

of the eight standing committees appointed at the opening session Wednesday. FI 1 | The conference after lengthy debate today rescinded its action of yesterday which would have taken out of the ministry committee the power to reassign bishops to fit the new church organization. Methodist Episcopal South delegates complained that a new committee created yesterday would not be repre-

sentatives of the three branches. | The committee appointed yesterday The min-

the assignments by May 8, is headed by Dr. Orien W. Fifer, Indianapolis. Indianapolis is seeking to become the residence of one of the two new bishops.

Two Plans Approved

By today only two recommendations had been approved by committees. One would establish a board of temperance to oppose ‘“violations of the moral law.” The other would require a “test of fitness” for candidates to the ministry. \ Other committees debated highly technical or controversial points. One committee studied four different plans for organization of missions.

A subcommittee on financial plan was hearing argument for the establishment of a single treasury with one treasurer for general and missionary benevolences, and for an alternate plan of separate treasuries for each major division of the church.

300 SONS OF INDIANA CELEBRATE IN N. Y,

Times Special NEW YORK, April 20.—More than 300 members of the Sons of Indiana held their annual jamboree last

night. Although the dinner had been scheduled as a night of fun, nostalgia for the “Banks of the Wabash” crept into many a wistful speech. Homer E. Capehart, manufacturer and sponsor of Republican “Cornfield Conferences,” spoke. While Mr. Capehart lives at Buffalo, N. Y,, he says he likes to be known as a Washington, Ind., farmer. He declared that “Indiana is the heart of this great nation. Anyone, Republican or Democrat, if he comes from Indiana, is truly American, because out there we are all neighbors.” Congressman Charles A. Halleck of Rensselaer said that “Hoosier common sense and corn cob philosophy will prevail in America.” Toastmaster was Ivan Boxell, president of the Sons, formerly of Marion, Ind. Guests included Vincent Bendix of South Bend, airplane manufaeturer; Don Herold of Bloomfield, humorist and author; Briant Sando, Parker Likely and Jack Albershardt of Indianapolis; Joseph Akin of Sullivan and Claude Weaver of Peru.

LABOR LEADER FROM ENGLAND TO SPEAK

C. L. R. James, British Negro labor leader, is to speak on “The Twilight of the British Empire” at 8 p. m. Monday at the K. of P. Hall, Wanut St. and Senate Ave. The meeting is sponsored by the Socialist Workers’ Party. Cecil E. Allen is chairman. Mr. James was formerly special correspondent for the Manchester Guardian and is now a correspondent for the Glasgow Herald. He is the author of “A History of Negro Revolt,” “World Revolution, 1817-1936,” “The Black Jacobins,” “Minty’s - Alley,” and “Toussaint L’'Overture.”

HOOSIERS IN WASHIN GTON-sy Daniel Kidney

ASHINGTON, April 29— Homer E. Capehart’s visit this week gave rise again to speculation regarding his “native son” candidacy for President or Vice President in 1940. There is considerable debate among the Republicans here as to whether it would be best for the Indiana delegation to go to the

{ national convention pledged to

one of their own, unattached or on someone else’s bandwagon. Upshot of the Capehart visit and phone calls to the seven Republican congressmen was the suggesting of another name as a possible “native son” candidate, should the Hoosier G. O. P. finally decide to put one forward. The new possibility is Will H. Hays, the Sullivan, Ind., boy who made good in the city. It has been a long time since the movie “czar” has been active in Indiana party politics, but some of the oldtimers recall that when he was taking part they were going places. Mr. Hays held all of the party organization offices at one time or another, up to the very top post—chairman of the national committee—which also seems to carry with it the postmaster generalship. Whether he would be interested in going back to Indiana politics as a native son candidate, or running for the governorship or senatorship next year, no one around here seems to know. But some of them seem to like to talk about that possibility. At the height of the New Deal’s popularity several years ago, the abstemious Mr. Hays and his charming wife were attending a cocktail party here given by a prominent Democratic Senator. Mrs. Hays, related how someone had asked Will if he was “still a Republican.” “Yes,” Mr. Hays replied, “and a very, very still one.”

Although it previously had been inserted from the House side, Senator Minton (D. Ind.) again put into the Congressional Record Secretary Ickes’ tirade against newspaper columnists. In a speech before the New York City Newspaper Guild, Mr. Ickes referred to them as “calumnists.” It was noted that Senator Minton’s insertion of the Ickes speech appeared the day following an attack on the Indianian in a syndicated column which charged “he has no friends in the Senate,” despite the fact that he had just been elected unanimously whip. The column was sg bitter that

Girl’s ‘Gator Will Do Bit For Zoology

The baby alligator problem at the Harold J. Hamptons, 5022 Central Ave. is solved, and the alligator has matriculated in Earlham College. This satisfactory solution follows two months of anxiety in the family, with Sally Ann Hampton, 8, alligator owner, the chief worrier.

A friend in Florida sent the baby alligator to her and she found that it fascinated her school chums. It was kept in the cellar. Mrs. Hampton found that the alligator would not eat. Sally Ann would not agree to give it up. The alligator would not eat raw hamburger, or fish food, and it seemed actually frighten by fish worms. So Miss Betty Jane Ballman, Indianapolis Earlham student, took him to college to a boy she knows who's studying zoology and already owns one baby alligator. Sally Ann agreed.

FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT HERE GETS ‘G0’ SIGN

Hospital Protection Assured As Army 0. K.’s Project On White River.

Protection for the City Hospital and the Indiana University Medical Center from floodwaters was virtually assured today with the completion of plans for a $500,000 White River flood-control program. The Marion County Flood Control Board announced yesterday that plans for the project had been approved by U. 8. Army engineers. The Army will undertake the ime provement of the east bank of the river from Washington to Michigan Sts., as a part of its extensive floodcontrol program on the Ohio River and its tributaries. The County Board’s only remaining task in the improvement is acquisition of right-of-way along the river bank from the Bemis Bag and Acme-Evans companies. Board members said they were confident this could be settled without difficulty. Will Complete Section

It will consist of a 1000-foot addition to be the present concrete retaining wall which now extends 200 feet north of Washington 8t.; the construction of a broad earth levee from the end of the well north to New York St.; the extension of White River parkway, East Drive, between New York and Michigan Sts, and the dredging of the river channel to a uniform depth of six feet, and widening of the river to 650 feet. If the required right-of-way is obtained in time, the Army will open bids for contracts on the construction May 15 and probably will award contracts by June 15. All work will be handled by private contractors under Army direction, according to the board.

" Protection Will Result

Protected from a recurrence of the disastrous 1913 flood will be about 400 dwellings, 12 apartment building and 22 commercial establishments in the area of the hospital center. Board members asserted that the project is the first part of Marion County’s share of the $50,000,000 White River improvement program contemplated by the Army, It is an important link in the chain of Federal flood control projects extending along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries.

She closed her defense by stating that she did not know yet whether her father was dead or not.

supplying the Army with Allison engines on a quantity basis, engineers are turning their attention to the perfection of a 24-cylinder liquid-cooled motor for bombers. One of the factors in deciding on expansion here was the Indianapolis supply of skilled workers, he stated. “Our experience in Indianapolis has been most satisfactory in

son plant. Indianapolis is a home town for General Motors and will become an even more important operating center with the completion of our new program here,” he said. Construction Near Mr. Kreusser said building plans are now completed and the construction of the new plant will start within a few weeks. It is expected to be ready for occupancy within four months, he said. The present floor space is 100,000 and the addition will cover 200,000 square feet. The public is barred from visiting and inspecting the plant because airplane motors are classed as munitions and as such come under the regulations of the U. S. Army as military secrets. Mr. Kreusser revealed that the company at present has enough orders to keep the factory busy for a year and a half. The Allison plant was founded years ago to perfect boat motors. The tests of the motors have been so successful that the General Motors Corp.. parent company of the local plant, has been waiting for such a confirmation of their superjority from such an authority as Col. Lindbergh to begin mass production.

City officials previously suggested President Roosevelt's presiding at the dedication, but they have been informed a trip here by the President at this time is out of the question.
