CARTER DIES IN CHAIR TONIGHT
Charlestown Slayer of 5 Consoled by Recent Visit of Wife.
Times Special MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Feb. 9.— Virginius (Dink) Carter, slayer of five members of a family in which he had married two daughters, will die in the electric chair between midnight and sunrise tomorrow. Tha illiterate Charlestown defense plant worker was consoled by a recent visit of his wife, Leona. who had remained loyal to him since his arrest last May, four days after the bodies of Mr. and Mrs Johnson Agrue and their two sons and their granddaughter were found dead on their farm, victims of shotgun blasts. Told ef Grudge In a confession signed with an X.” Carter said he had had a grudge agsinst the Agrue brothers, Io and William. because they ‘made me marry” their sister Mary. Carter subsequently divorced Mary, and married Leona, twin of Leo. The slayer sobbed with gratitude when his father recently visited him at ths Indiana penitentiary, prom1zed to take good care of Leona’s two children. Carter repudiated his confession and he was tried by a jury of 10 farmers, a storekeeper and a factory worker. After the verdict, Carter Di: v1 give me the chair; they'll the chair.” | } |
URGES COAL ORDERS OF 2 TONS AT LEAST
Coal consumers were urged today by the Indiana Coal Mer- | chants iation to order their fuel in at two-ton lots in| order to conserve the tires of de-. livery trucks. “Deliveries may become a serious problem in the face of the tire shortage and tire rationing.” J. S. Weber, executive secretary of the association, declared. “Hence deal-! ers are advising householders who! customarily order one ton of coal to order two tons at a time. It iz! predicted that half-ton deliveries soon will be a thing of the past in Indianapolis because such deliver- | les wil become economically im-, possible due to the tire situation.” Afternoon deliveries also are: being discouraged by coal dealers.! “While there is no indicated! shortage of solid fuel, nor in the! means of transportation,” Mr! Weber said, “the uncertain future | calls for foresight on the part of | retailers and consumers alike. The | best advice we can give the public | is simply this: ‘Keep those coal’ bins full now.’ | ———— —— STUDY STATE CAR CURB State department heads will meet at 10 a. m. tomorrow to discuss curtailment of the use of state automobiles during the war emergency.

RAILROAD FARES AND THE WARTIME EMERGENCY
S EVERYBODY KNOWS this country has set in motion the greatest armament program in history.
It will be up to the Railroads of America to keep that production rolling.
For only railroads can handle such weight and bulk and move troops in large numbers swiftly and safely.
With their present equipment and facilities, the railroads have set a record which led a leader in Congress, Clarence F. Lea, Chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee of the House of Representatives, to state publicly, “In all the world no job is being better done today than by the American railroads.”
But the new armament goal requires enormous additions in trains, locomotives, supplies and manpower.
In the next 12 months, the railroads are planning to add to their equipment approximately 114,000 allsteel freight cars, and nearly a thousand new modern locomotives. This will require the outlay of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Like all other businesses the railroads are paying more for everything they need and use—fuel, food materials, supplies.
In addition, the railroads will pay yearly over $300,000,000 higher wages as a result of the recommendations last Fall of the Emergency Board created by the President.
When it rendered its findings, the President’s Emergency Board said:
“...we are unable affirmatively to find, on the basis of the record, that the Class I railroads are now enjoying, or presently will succeed in enjoying, revenues in excess of those needed to permit them to render the service which the country is now calling upon them to render.
“...we feel obliged to say that our recommended increases in railroad wages have been made on the assumption
In order to meet partly the greatly increased costs and demands placed upon them by the march of events, the railroads found it necessary to petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for an increase in freight rates and passenger fares.
The increase in passenger fares has been granted, the Commission finding that ‘“... the increase in fares proposed is necessary to enable petitioners to continue to render adequate and efficient railway transportation service during the present emergency...”’
The change, effective February 10, amounts to only a fraction of a cent per mile. One-way coach fares will be increased from 2 cents to 2.2 cents per mile. Oneway railroad fares for Pullman travel from 3 cents to 3.3 cents per mile. Round-trip fares will enable you to enjoy coach travel for as little as 1.65 cents per mile,
In themselves, the increases are slight. The public will still continue to enjoy fast, safe, dependable transportation at low cost (see chart). But in the aggregate, the increases will help the railroads do what the public counts on tiem to do.
We believe the public recognizes that in times like these railroads face many problems. Costs are one. Service is another.
Sudden troop movements on a large scale may take a heavy share of passenger car equipment, both coaches and Pullman. In consequence, a passenger may have to take an upper berth instead of a lower berth or private room. Overtaxed telephone facilities may entail some delay in reservations. Badly needed war supplies may command the right of way over all other non-military train movements, causing a regularly scheduled train to be late.
Again, while steel priorities have been given for building freight cars and locomotives, none so far has been granted for new passenger cars. The railroads must get along with their present passenger car equipment, at least for the time being. fn the light of these
