CLUB WANTS RULING OH UTILITY SERVICE Commercial Body Takes Up Problem of Pay for Interrupted Phone Service. Is a utility entitled to full pay throughout a period of time during part of which service was not rendered?" This is the question which C. W. Jordan has requested City Attorney Bond to ask the public utilities commission. It applies to the flat rate on water, k;is, electricity and telephone, or, if no Mat rate is given, to the readiness to serve charge. City Attorney Bond will have a

petition filed with the state commiss

ion about November 10 asking for a ruling to govern every utility in the

state. The commission will take this matter up immediately as it will be the first formal petition of its kind

tiled. Settles Dispute.

Such a ruling will also settle for city

councilmen the question which they argued at the last session of council.

Because the worn out street lights tailed to burn at times the councilmen believed the city should be exempted from payment for the period when the

lights did not illuminate the streets. The city attorney now has the ma

terial at hand for a complaint. In order to carry out the formal pro

cedure of the public utilities commiss

ion, it is necessary to set forth a specific case. This was furnished when a member of the Commercial club asked a rebate on eighteen days of telephone charge when he did not have service, the telephone company refusing on the grounds that the public utilities commission does not permit rebates of this nature.

ARMY MAY MOVE TO RHODA TEMPLE

Representatives of the Salvation Army said today that unless a favorable reply was received from trustees of the Fifth Street M. E. church within the next two days, the Army would again occupy the Rhoda Temple at 515 North A street, this winter. For some time the Salvation Army has been trying to secure the Fifth st reet church, which is no longer used. Several meetings have been held with the trustees, without reaching an agreement. The Army is a distinctly religious organization and is not working with the Central Charity bureau.

EVEN DREYFUS GETS FRENCH COMMISSION

Canine Hobo Drifts to Yards; Hops Train For Hamilton, O.

He was Just a nameless, big, black bulldog. He was a hobo and a good scout, which won him many friends among the railroaders during his two days' stay at the' local shops. The canine hobo was first seen at the Pennsylvania yards Monday night when he leaped into the gangway of a switch engine and curled up be side the engine driver, perfectly at home. During most of the night he rode on engines as they shunted cars about the yards, hopping from one to the other. He jumped on pilots, keeping the brakemen company. His shrill bark greeted the crews as they passed. Before the night was over every railroader in the yards was a friend of the

j nameless wanderer, who could not tell

his story or where he came from except by his friendly barking. The shift in crews made no differ-

Major Alfred Dreyfus, who was convicted in 1894 of divulging state se

crets to the German war office, and j

wnose case agitated France for many i years, has been raised to the heights j of joy by the grant of a commission. ' The minister of war thus wipes out I the last trace of disgrace from his j

name. Moreover, his eldest son, who was a sergeant in the French army, distinguished himself before Charlerol and was promoted on the battlefield.

POTTS OBSERVES 58TH BIRTHDAY

This is also the fifty-eighth birthday ! of Alfred F. Potts, ex-president of the j Indianapolis Commercial club. He was j born in Richmond, Ind., and is a graduate of the law department of the Uni-1 versity of Michigan. For twenty-five j

years he was a partner with John L.. Griffiths. He is the originator of the substitute for the municipal ownership of public utilities which was adopted by the Consumers Natural Gas company in 1S87 and by the Citizens Gas company in 1905. This plan provides for a self-perpetuating board and trust and eliminates all stock manipulation.

C. & O. RAILROAD LAYS HEAVY RAILS

Workmen have reached Elkhorn laying the 100-pound rails which have been distributed over the C. & O. lines between Cincinnati and Muncie. The heavier rails are being used to replace the 70-pound rails in use. New bal

last is being laid. This will greatly I improve the road bed from Chicago to ! Cincinnati, the heavier rails already j

being in place for a considerable distance out of the road's northern terminus.

nee, so all day Tuesday the dog made new friends. Late yesterday as a long freight stood on the siding awaiting orders to pull out for Hamilton, he Jumped up beside the engineer and declined to come down as the train began to move. At Hamilton the canine hobo found new friends, and spent the night riding switch engines, according to the story told by crews which arrived from the Ohio city early today. "

EUROPE MUST CALL FOR U.S. GRAIN

Europe's shortage for this present year Is enormous. If the war should be prolonged beyond next spring every other continent will be called upon to

furnish food for men and beasts of

Europe.

There is absolute certainly of Europe's needs now and for the next two years. It will be five years, at least, if the war should close this winter, before Europe's own productions would equal the average annual supply of the past years. Wherever grain, grass and alfalfa can grow In the United States our farmers should see to it that they are planted. Markets at high prices are assured for these; markets both at home and abroad will be urgent in their demands for them.

! The threatened attempt to replace the

wet banner torn down Thursday night at Cherry street, did not materialize, though several of the "wet" men of the committee have been in town since.

Less Than a Cent You may know a woman who has a reputation for making delicious cake, biscuits, etc. , who seems to hit it right every time. You may also know a woman, who, no matter how painstaking, can't seem to get the knack of successful baking. Both use the same butter, same eggs, same flour and sugar. What is the difference? Very likely it's all in the baking powder. Undoubtedly the woman with the knack uses Royal Baking Powder, and the unsuccessful woman uses an alum baking powder thinking it cheaper.

. Democratic tariff law has disrupted the business of the country and thrown two and a half million men out of employment before the foreign war was declared. 2. Democratic promises to reduce the hi gh cost of living stand today utterly unfulfilled. 3. Democratic extravagance and blundering cost; the country over One Hundred Million Dollars a year more than the most extravagant administration of any party heretofore. 4. Democracy at the behest of England humiliated the American people in the eyes of the world by taxing coast-wise ships, flying the American flag, for going through the Panama Canal, thereby breaking its solemn pledge that this, our own canal, built by American genius and money should be operated for the benefit of all the American people. 5. Democratic tariff law destroyed the protection heretofore given the American farmer, laboring man and manufacturer a gainst the competition of foreign cheap labor and its products. 6. -For the first time since Cleveland's a d ministration, the balance of trade with foreign nations has been against the United States. The balance of trade in 1912 amounted to $551,000,000 in favor of the United States. Under free trade conditions this has been entirely wiped out a nd balance of trade is now against us. 7. Under Democratic tariff tinkering, the revenue derived from our imports for the last ten months, ending July ! 1914, was nearly $40,000,000 less than the corresponding ten months. 8. The Democratic State government has increased the expenditures of the state One Hundred and Thirty-eight Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty ($138,450) Dollars per year, by the creation of new offices alone. 9- Under Democratic administration, the cost of conducting the affairs of the state institutions is Nine Hundred and Twenty-two Thousand, Four Hundred and Twenty-eight Dollars and Seventy-two Cents ($922,428.72) greater per annum than under the most extravagant administration heretofore. 10- The Democratic administration raised the tax rate, thereby deriving from Wayne County alone $34,103.11 more per year than heretofore, and notwithstand

ing the raising of valuations in addition thereto, has squandered this vast amount of money and was compelled to borrow $685,000 to operate the state government for the last nine months, and now the sta te treasury is withholding the payment of $42,000 of Purdue University warrants which cannot be paid on account of the fact that this money, though appropriated for this purpose has been expended for general expenses. 1 1 . The lieutenants of Tom Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks squandered One Hundred and Sixty-two Thousand ($ 1 62, 000) Dollars to defray the expense of their last session of the Jegislature, this being $32,000 more than the cost of any preceding legislature. 1 2. The same lieutenants put upon the statutes three salary grab bills that never were legally enacted. 13. Democracy in the State of Indiana is at present controlled and dominated by a coterie of politicians headed by Tom Taggart, Crawford Fairbanks, Donn Roberts Joe Bell, et al., and the only way to oust them is to defeat the Democratic candidates who are their personal henchmen. 14. The taxpayers of Wayne County have been compelled to pay more money for taxes than they have ever paid before. Examine your tax receipts for verification. 15. The Republican candidates were fairly selected in the state and county, and are competent, efficient and honest. They are worthy of the support of every citizen who believes in clean government. 16. The only way to defeat the Tom Taggart-Crawford Fairbanks-Donn RobertsJoe Bell control of the state government is to vote for the Republican party. No other party can defeat it. It is now conceded that the Progressive party has no chance to win. 1 7. A vote for the Republican party will again give jobs to two thousand (2,000) idle men in Wayne County, open our factories, revive our business and give us back prosperity. 18. The policy of protection has, after each period of business and commercial depression, brought back Prosperity.
