A a; i ' K . ' . u ..... UTILITY BOD! HITS BLOW FOB PiTBOiS Refuses to Underwrite Big Dividends for Public Serv ice Companies. INDIANAPOLIS, IND.. Sept. S. The Public Service Commission of Indiana yesterday afternoon, in handing down a large number of decisions on applica tions of public utilities for relief on war cot operations, declared that it was not its intention or policy to underwrite 7 and 8 per cent dividends on such public -utilUles. by increasing rates on patrons of those companies. The Frankfort Heating Company had applied to the commission to increase its rales to 24 cents. The Public Service Commission found that an order had been issued by the old commission on April 30 increasing the rstes from 17 cents to 2Uj cents in authorizing a permanent schedule based on valuation of the plant. Investigation revealed that. in seeking an increase of 24 cents the Frankfort Heating Company was seeking to safeguard 7 per cent earnings on the entire valuation or. interest on bonds being deducted, almost 8 per cent dividend or surplus. Conditions Changed. In its decision, the commission says: "It was right and proper in fixing a permanent rate, that the commission should provide for a 7 per cent return on the accepted valuation. Conditions, however, have changed materially sine, the issuance of that order on April 30. this year. To authorize a surcharge of 3,i per cent at this time, as a measure of relief, would be simply underwriting a 7 or 8 per cent dividend or earning for the stockholders of this company and absolving it and them of any of the burdens incident to war, and shifting the entire burden on to the consumers. Other public utilities petitioning for relief from what they accept as being temporary operation costs attributable to war. have expressed little or no thought of dividends or surplus, but only of getting their companies through this period of instability and uncertainty. In light of this altitude of other operators of utilities, the Public Service Commission, at this time, will not consiaer the granting of any petition to safeguard 7 or S per cent earnings above fixed interest charges " . , It was found that the 7 per cent allowance made in the order of' April SO issued by the old commission and providing 7 per cent return on ascertained valuation, gives this company $10,150 as net earnings. Estimates on increased cost of coal for 1917-1918 heating

season total $8.S09 increase over the season 1916-1917. After this and interest on bonded indebtedness is deducted, there would remain $1,151 earning. The commission points out that increases in freight rates on coal, possible increases in the wages of miners and other increases in plant operation, might and probably will blot out th s narrow margin. To give the company a sife marKin, a surcharge of 2 cents per square foot was granted for the single season 1917-1918 and it is figured that this may permit the company to have a 3, 4 or S per cent dividend, provided there are not unexpected, additional increases In cost of operation. In denying the petition of the Boonville Electric Light and Power Company to add a 30 per cent surcharge on all electric light and power bills, the commission found thit the company's operation in this field are sufficient to declare a 5 per cent dividend en its stock, and that, therefore, no emergency exists on the electric light and power operations. The commission suggests "that the petitioner in bringing ihis emergency petition proceeded on this misinformation as to the purpose of such peti;ons for emergency surcharge."

DEMAND PROBE OF DEFECTIVE MUNITIONS (Hjr Vnlled Pr.) " WASHINGTON. Sept. 8 A congressional investigation of the defective Frankfort arsenal ammunition sent General Pershing- was asked today by Secretary of War Baker of Chairman Dent of the house military committee. Baker told Dent he wished an investigation from an outs.de source. It was at the Frankfort arsenal that a "series of exploaicvna occurred today. ROADS PREPARE TO TRANSPORT DRAFT MEN CHICAGO. Sept. 9 Practically all arrangements have been completed by the railroads for transporting- the 687.000 "selected men" who will constitute the new army to the sixteen cantonments for intensive training before going: to Europe. The advance guard has already been moved. Under the revised plans of the War Department, only 5 per cent of the men, or about 35.000, will be transported in the five-day period beginning last Wednesday. As they will be moved at the rate of 1 per cent, or 7,000 men per day. it is not anticipated that his military traffic will cause any disarrangement of regular passenger and freight schedules. In the five-day period beginningSeptember 19. the railroads must transport. 40 per cent of the new army, or 274. &00 men, at the rate of 34.700 a day. Another 40 per rent of the army
