MAYOR HAS HIGH TASK TP PERFORM Says He Will Remove Tracks in Glen if Company Fails to Do So.

Further effort to secure the removal of car tracks in Glen Miller park was begun this morning .by the board of works and city officials when the city attorney wag instructed to write to Superintendent J. K. Jefferies of the traction company, asking the company to set a date by which time the tracks will be removed. If this date is not satisfactory to the city, a date will be set by the council or the board of works and unless the tracks are removed as instructed, action of some kind will be taken by the city against the traction company. "I have said that the tracks must be removed from the park," stated Mayor Zimmerman this morning, "and I have threatened to secure the aid of citizens and remove the tracks with them, but on the advice of officials that the traction company was not to blame for their failure to remove the tracks at that time, the matter was dropped temporarily. This time, however, the traction company iB in a position to remove the tracks at once and unless they do so, I will do it myself." In a letter to City Attorney Bond, J. K. Jefferies stated that any places in the streets which have settled between the street car tracks should be repaired by the city engineer at the expense of the street car company. VACATION EXTENDED Board Approves Recommendation of Fire Chief. At the meeting of the board of works this morning, it was decided to allow the firemen a vacation during the summer of ten days instead of seven days as was formerly the custom. It was stated by Fire Chief Miller that this could be done without extra expense to the city as a relief man is also kept by the department to fill the place of any fireman who is taking a vacation. The firemen are allowed at present, 52 days vacation each year. Every eight days is allowed them during the year while in the summer seven days are given them with pay. When the new ruling goes into effect May 1, the firemen will be off duty for 55 days a year for whijh they will receive pay as in the past. The policemen have received ten day vacations for several days and as the firemen are on duty Tor 24 hours a day, the board believes . that they deserve ten days. FOUND A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM "I suffered with rheumatism for two years and could not get my right hand to my month for that length of time," writes Lee L. Chapman, Mapleton, Iowa. "I suffered terrible pain so I could not sleep or lie still at night Five years ago I began using Chamberlain's Liniment and in two months I was well and have not suffered with rheumatism since." For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement) JUDGE TAKES CASE UNDER ADVISEMENT The divorce suit Ella M. Hale against Frank H. Hale, was taken under advisement by Judge Fox this morning after he had heard the appeals of the plaintiff and the denials of the defendant. Mrs. Hale told the court her husband was guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment and often came home in an intoxicated condition.

Wm Utility Coimmissioi Is Namcdl By Govereor

THOMAS DUNCAN, Democrat, Princeton; term four years. JAMES L. CLARK, Republican, Danville; term four years. CHARLES J. MURPHY, Democrat, Brookston; term two years. JOHN F. McCLURE, Republican, Anderson; three more years to serve. FRANK E. PAYNE, Democrat, Jefferson ville; two more years to serve. BURT NEW, Democrat, Indianapolis, legal counsel; term four years. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., April 10. Governor Ralston made the three most important appointments he will have to make during his administration yesterday afternoon when he named three members of the new Public Service Commission, which is to begin its duties May 1. Thomas Duncan, Democrat, of Princeton and James L. Clark, Republican, of Danville were appointed to serve four years, and the two-year term goes to Charles J. Murphy, Democrat, of Brookston. The two members of the Railroad Commission of Indiana whose terms have not expired, are continued in office, under the Utility Commission act, as the fourth and fifth members of the Public Service Commission. Burt New, legal clerk to Governor Ralston, will be the general counsel and will serve in the dual capacity of legal adviser of both the Governor and the commission. His salary will be boosted from $3,600, which he now receives as legal clerk, to $6,000 the same salary to be paid members of the commission. Others Get Increases. Mr. McClure and Mr. Payne also will receive increased salaries in return for increased duties under the new law. As members of the Railroad Commission they have received $4,000 annually. Under the act making them members of the Public Service Commission they will receive an additional $2,000. Mr. Duncan will be the chairman of the commission. He was appointed as successor to W. J. Wood, chairman of the Railroad Commission, whose term, it so happens, expires May 1, the date on which the utility act takes effect. Mr. Wood will retire after having served eight years as a member of the Railroad Commission, His home was at Evansville when he was first appointed by Governor Hanly. Mr. Duncan is said to have been the first man selected by the Governor for a place on the committee. He is one of the leading lawyers of Gibson County and for several years has been active in Democratic politics of the First District and of the State. He was twice the Democratic nominee for representative in Congress, but unfortunately for him in years when the Republicans were In control of the First District. Friends Since College Days. Governor Ralston's acquaintance With both Mr. Duncan and Mr. Clark dates back to the early eighties, when he was a student at the Central Normal College at Danville. The Governor and Mr. Duncan were graduated from the school in 1884. During the time the Governor was attending the Danville school Mr. Clark was in Danville as deputy clerk of the Hendricks Circuit Court. The three men have been fast friends since they first became acj quainted with each other, more than thirty years ago. It is complimentary to Mr. Clark, since he is a Republican, that he should be one of the two to be named for a four-year term. Mr. Clark is a successful lawyer, is a former instructor in the law school of the Central Normal College and is a former judge of the Hendricks Circuit Court. He was born fifty-eight years ago in Hendricks County, where he always has lived. He spent his boyhood on a farm, attended the common schools and then Valparaiso Normal College. After teaching in the public schools he worked for nine years in the freight, passenger and telegraph departments of railroad work. Admitted To Bar. He was admitted to the bar in 1885. In 1892 he formed a partnership with E. G. Hogate, dean of the Indiana Law School. This partnership was continued until 1903, when Mr. Hogate was called to a chair in the law school of Indiana University. Mr. Clark taught law in the college at Danville for six years before his election in 1906 as judge of the Hendricks Circuit Court. He was renominated for judge in 1912, and, though he received more votes than any other Republican candidate on the national, state or county ticket, he was defeated at the election by nine votes. Politics did not figure in any way in Mr. Clark's selection. A recoenition of his ability alone prompted the Governor to name him as the Republiacn member, because it is no secret that Mr. Clark did not "scratch" his ticket and vote for Mr. Ralston. While they have been close personal friends for many years they have differed politically. Mr. Clark and Mr. Duncan have known for several days that thev were to be members of the new commission, but the Governor did not "break the news to Mr. Murphy until yesterday afternoon. The Governor is said to have decided on the third member some time ago, but it was not until yesterday afternon when Mr. Murphy, by appointment, visited the executive offices that he had an opportunity of telling the White county man of his selection. Mr. Murphy had entertained high hopes that he would "land," but itw as not until his conference with the Governor yesterday that he was told that he was to be commissioned. Mr. Murphy Is well known both as a business man and politician. He is the present chairman of the Tenth District Democratic central committee, and is the second member of the state committee to receive an important political appointment from Governor

j nm&iuu. w . t.. iongiey, the new state

fire marshal of the Ninth District, was the first state committeeman to be favored. Urged By Educators. President W. E. Stone, Dean J. H. Skinner, Prof. James Troop, Prof. R. A. Craig and other faculty members of Purdut University were among the strongest supporters of Mr. Murphy In his candidacy for appointment. Mr. Murphy was graduated from the civil engineering department of Purdue

University in 1893, and members of the University faculty who have known him both as a student and business man wrote letters of indorsement to Governor Ralston. W. F. M. Goss, formerly of Purdue University, who is now at the head of the College of Engineers and Engineering Experiment Station of the University of Illinois, also urged Murphy's appointment. Mr. Murphy is an extensive owner of land and is a stockholder in a bank at Brookston. He has been engaged in the stock raising business on a large scale and has had several years' experience as a contractor and builder. His experience as a contractor and builder it is urged, will serve him well as a member of the commission dealing with public utilities. Mr. McClure, who has been a member of the Railroad Commission about five years, holds a commission Rood for three more year. Mr. Payne has two more years of a four-year term to serve. Formerly Was Judge. Before he became a member of the Railroad Commission, first by appointment of Governor Hanly and then of Governor Marshall, Mr. McClure was a judge of the Madison Circuit Court. He still retains his residence in Anderson, making the trip to and from Indianapolis each day. Mr. Payne for several years was a railroad engineman and fireman, and possesses a practical knowledge of "railroading" which has made him a useful member of the Railroad Commission. Governor Marshall first appointed him to serve a year of the unexpired term of Henry M. Dowling, who resigned, and then in May, 1911, recommissioned him for four years. He lived at Jeffersonville before his appointment. Mr. New, who, as general counsel, becomes the attorney for both the Governor and commission, was legal clerk to Governor Marshall until the last campaign, when he resigned to become secretary of the Democratic state central committee. He was reappointed as legal clerk upon Mr. Ralston's induction into office last January. Prominent in Politics. Mr. New has been prominent in Democratic politics for several years. In 1906 he was the nominee for clerk of the Supreme Court, but was defeated, and two years later he was the Democratic candidate for reporter of the Supreme Court, when he came within 171 votes of election. He attended Indiana University before he entered Bethany College in West Virginia, of which he is a graduate. Before his appointment as Governor Marshall's legal clerk he was engaged in the practice of law at North Vernon. He is one of the most popular Democrats in the state. In appointing three members of the Public Service Commission, Governor Ralston had thirty-five names before him from which to make selections. While the three men appointed were considered as among the most likely possibilities, speculation as to who the Governor would appoint did not end until the commissions actually had been signed. Powers of Commission. Under the Shively-Spencer Public Service Commission law, the new commission has all the powers conferred by the Railroad Commission law in addition to those conferred by the new statute. Public utilities coming under the Public Service Commission's control and regulation are the interurbans, the heat, light and power concerns, street railway corporations, telegraph and telephone companies, water companies and warehouse and elevator companies. Steam railroads are not defined as public utilities, but continue under regulatory laws already in existence. Utilities in future must be organized under Indiana law. The law provides for the valuation of all public utilities by the new commission. It is provided that the physical valuation found by the Interstate

Commerce Commission in the cases of Interstate roads, steam or electric, may be accepted by the Indiana commission. The law provides a definition of things to be considered In making up the valuation of a going concern. Provides For Purchase. The Indiana law provides for the ultimate purchase of utilities by cities. It provides for an Indeterminate permit to take the place of an old franchise grant at the option of the ultillty. It provides against stock watering and for publicity of stocks issued for less than part. It provides for the regulation of mergers, for the protection of utilities against competition where the field Is adequately served. It calls for depreciation funds, for control of refunding bond issues for control of fates, tolls, charges and service, for a uniform system of accounting, for reports to the commission and for inspections, hearings and the enforcement of orders. Appeals are given from the final orders of the commission to local courts and to the Appellate and Supreme Courts, and the law provides that such cases shall have precedence over other civil cases. Penalties are provided for violations. The public service commissioners get $6,000 a year. The general counsel is to draw $6,000 a year. There is a secretary at $3,600 a year and a chief

clerk at $3,000. Each of the commissioners Is to give a bond of $10,000. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT. State of Indiana, Wayne County, ss: Notice is hereby given that uie undersigned Mary E.
