Hopes of Indianapolis Railways, Inc, for a quick temporary injunction to enable it to hike fares immediately dimmed today as the company's injunction suit opened | here in circuit «court. The company is trying to enjoin| the Idiana public service commis~ sion from enforcing a ruling last June which forbids railways from increasing token fares from 6'4 to 8's cents. . Special Judge Horace IL. Hanna of Hendricks circuit court, who is] hearing the suit, ruled out interven-| tion by the OPA at the demand of! Company, Attorney Arthur -L. GilLom. | Admits Voluminous Data The judge, however, decided to admit the voluminpus evidence submitted by P. 8. C. attorneys. This was taken during four mbnthe of hearings before the commission. Study of the evidence which fills three volumes and includes 40 exhibits would obviously delay any quick decision. This move by the commission's attorneys may force the court to consider & volume of evidence which would tie up a decision for some time. Mr. Gilliom objected to the introduction of the commission's evi~| dence on the ground that the court
