Indoor Sports

-By Tad

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10 Members

of the public service commission are of tbe opinion no advantage can be

gained through rendering any decision in the recent request' of officials of the Municipal light and heat plant at Richmond; Jnd., to establish a , shed- . ;le of rates for , large consumers of electricity and say they Will not render any decision at present. The city

plant asked that : this schedule be established after the privately owned plant had 'obtained permission to establish such a , schedule. ' The commission has agreed to cancel all permission tor either company to use this schedule until later. . "It looks like -ft would mean another installation of equipment for the city company to buy when the plant of the private company Is purchased," said on of the commissioners. "I can see no 'advantage in this as it would only tend to muddle the situation in my mind. The city says it is going to buy the private plant in accerdance with the recent decision of the commission and why stock up the private company with equipment it will have to purchase."

Horsemen from Michigan,- Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and all parts of Indi

ana to the number of three hundred,!

attended the sale of registered Percheron and 3elgian horses held by O. H. Scantland at Taube's barn on North Sixth street, this afternoon. .Sixteen

head were- sold at a price averaging

around $400 by Fred Rippert, who was on the block. : - . .

INSPECTOR COLLECTS INTERNAL REVENUE

Collecting internal revenue tax and making inventories of stock owned by local dealers in tobacco, Tom Rogers, federal tax inspector, arrived in the city this morning and will be here for several days. He is located at Engelbert's cigar store and dealers in tobacco calling there are able to filPout the tax blanks and swear to the affidavits without paying the cost of . a notary. "I have only found a few violations of the 1914 revenue act, the special war tax," Baid Rogers, "and that was a case where the dealer unintentionally used a 1914 stamp instead of a 1915 stamp. I have, found no violations that, would warrant bringing a case n gainst any dealer here." The tax inspector is also visiting r.aloons for the purpose of seeking violations of the revenue law.
