City Attorney Bond, who was at In&napolls yesterday to confer with , the members of the public utilities .commission, found that no formal complaints hare been lodged with the commission against any public utilities corporation In the state, and the members are engaged, at present in ( making forms, studying out the de- ' tails of the work and perfecting the organization and merger of the utilities commission With the railroad commission.

The commissioners promised Attorney Bond that Richmond would receive prompt attention to any ' complaint which it Wight make against a public utility. The members of the commission have been making a study of the Wisconsin law and the methods of the Wisconsin commission in dealing with i their official business.

A careful study of the rates would be made and the same would be 'based on ths earning capacity of the company. . Mr. Bond that the commissjton is located in temporary rooms in jthe state house. The quarters will iprobably be changed.

rl Is Brutaily Attacked

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, May 10. Dragged from her bed, stripped of her night clothing and carried to a barn 100 feet distant, where she was beaten, choked and assaulted by burglars at an early hour this morning, Cordelia Cooney, aged 16, of 3S02 English avenue, is in a serious condition today. Because of her fright and terrible experience she is unable to give a description of her assailants. Burglars ransacked the house before they dragged Miss Cooney from her bed. They obtained $24 from the pockets of Horace Cooney, father of the girl, who slept in an adjoining room. Several other members of the family were asleep in the house, which is located on the outskirts of the city and were only awakened by the girl's screams and found her in a hysterical condition in the barn. The only telephone wire in the neighborhood was cut and there is no clue to the fiends. The girl was awakened by a muttered threat, "if you make any noise I will kill you." Frightened so badly that she could not scream, she was unable to summon assistance.

PLUG PRESENTED TO WHITEWATER SCHOOL Speakers Compliment School Children on Work in Cleaning Week. The children of the Whitewater school were presented with the silk flag yesterday afternoon as a result of their work during cleaning up week. The children of this institution did more hard and consistent work than any other school in the city. The flag was awarded them by the awarding committee of the Richmond Commercial club. The committee was composed of Sharon Jones, Rev. S. R. Lyons, Clayton Hunt, Mrs. F. W. Stephens and Mrs. Rush. As chairman of the committee Mr. Jones presided at the meeting which was held on the school grounds. Mr. Jones gave a short address in which he said he appreciated the honor bestowed upon him. The speaker said that during his residence in this city he never saw Rlverdale In such an Immaculate condition as it is at this time and he complimented the children on their work. The work of cleaning this section was largely done by the children of the Whitewater school. Dr. Lyons in his usual manner gave a speech to the school children which was greatly appreciated. He spoke of the work done by the children and in presenting the flag to them requested them to make every week cleaning week. Five entries may be made from each school in each event in each of the three classes, but only three of these will be allowed to compete. Entries must be made on cards provided by the association, which may be detained at the Y. M. C. A. All cards must bear signature of superintendent and must be left at the Y. M. C. A. not later than June 11. Age given for contestants is to be that on June 1. Points will be counted as fellows: First place, 5; second, 4; third, 3; Fourth, 2; fifth, 1. The length of time spent by the entire student body in helping to make Richmond clean is equal to the number of working days of one person's life, it is estimated. Some worked as many as thirty-six hours. The high school orchestra, conducted by Philip Gates, furnished the musts for the occasion. The services closed by the entire body singing a national anthem. There are 308 children enrolled in the school, and the average number of hours spent by each child was twelve. Dog Heroes.

The Waldorfs will line up as rollows: Niebbur, 3b; Rollf. ss; Haas, cm Lucas, lb; Fry, 2b; Schattel. If; Holmes, rf; Hartman, cf; Muhl, NIcodemus, p; Harter, utility. The team has played but two games this season. The first was with the Richmond Eastern Indiana leaguers, and resulted in a tie score, and last Sunday the Waldorfs handed out defeat to the Hagerstown team by the score of 9 to 2. APPRAISING HUMAN LIFE. Cask Value of a Man as Computed by Legal Decisions. That "human life Is cheap" vould appear from a study undertaken by a well known lawyer of tbe legal decisions handed down In this country with reference to tbe "cash value" of a man. It Is estimated that at ten years of age a boy of the laboring class is worth $2,061.42; at fifteen-, f4.2G3.4C; at twenty-five, $3,4Sa03. from which time tbe decline Is steady, a man of seventy, by this legal decision scale, rating at only $17.13: By the same practical method of computation one eye is worth $5,000: one leg. $15,000; two legs. $25,000; one arm. $10,000; one band. $6,000; one finger, $1,500. and permanent disability. $25,000. This, it la pointed out. is merely au average as far as decisions have been examined. It should be added that thr estimates of tbe value of a man's life are based upon an idea not of his value to himself, but of his value to tbe community. The figures in individual cases would vary greatly with reference to the fact whether or not tbe person's death caused hardship to others wbo were dependent upon him. The value of a man to himself is. it is further pointed out. unimportant after be is dead from a legal point of view. Ills value to society at large cannot be considered in a cash estimate since that kind of value depends upon other than physical resources. Ilia value to tboe wbo look to Dim for support can alone be estimated on tbe material side. New York Freas. On Tour. The Actor- What l poetry of mo tion?

Mark Twain's Miaaien. Mark Twain did not cherish fondness for the average office boy. He had an idea that the genns was Insufferable, and Invariably when the humorist sallied forth Into some business office there was immediate .armed hostility between him and the boy. One day Mark went to see a friend at his office, and the office boy on ruard. In Icy tones, said: "Whom do you wish to see?" Mark mentioned his friend's name. "What do you want to see film about?" came next from tbe boy. Mark Twain immediately froie np. 1 and then with a genial smile he said: "Tell him, please.
