"It was during my tabernacle meet

,ings in Lee Summit, Mo., that Cole

Younger became a Christian," the

evangelist said. "The church members

of that town could not be induced to 'talk to the bandit about his soul. I

approached him on his veranda one

morning and asked him to attend the meetings. He asked me who I was, and I told him I was from Iowa, and ;the evangelist at the tabernacle. He replied by saying, 'I don't believe I tever killed a man in Iowa in my life. -If I did he was down here in Missouri tending to some one else's business.' ; "I frequently called upon Younger, and in about a week he was numbered "with the converts. He died last spring ,a faithful Christian." A children's meeting will be held -'Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at -the tabernacle.

The girl's mother came in the front door and found her daughter just as Pettit was slipping from a back door. -

The two were married just a month ago, and society made much of their wedding. Mrs. Pettit, as Katherine Keiser, was a favorite in the younger set. It is believed Pettit is insane.

Two men Joseph Hanel and Jan Trybus were electrocuted at Sing Sing prison this morning while a third Thomas Bambrick who but for a two weeks' reprieve by Governor Whitman yesterday would have suffered the same death, sat mute in his cell horrified at the fate he had so narrowly escaped. Each man as he left the death house shouted "Good-bye, boys" and the other inmates chorused back "Goodbye Joe" and "Good-bye Jan." The two executions were over in twenty minutes. Hanel, a servant, slew his mistress, Mrs. Heilner. Trybus, a Pole from Galicia, killed Jacob Schoenberger, a peddler.

Continued From Page One. tricity by municipal companies is to be considered, this cost of taxation becomes a factor of importance. The average municipal plant paid nd taxes last year or at least showed no such payment in its annual report. At the same time, the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company was manufacturing electricity and the cost of each kilowatt hour as shown by the report of this company was .0215 or more than two cents for each kilowatt hour. The report shows In other words, that the municipal company for some reason is obtaining a greater production at much less cost than was the privately owned plant before it was merged with the city plant. There will be some utility experts who will attribute this condition to the in

creased business of the municipal company tout attribute it to what you may, a story of efficiency is there. For some years, every time efficiency of a municipal utility has been mentioned in Indianapolis, a finger has been pointed at the condition of the electric utility owned by the city of Anderson. And now, for the first time, a test has been made of the two utilities through a comparison and the Richmond plant does not suffer. Forces Cost Downward. While the Richmond company was forcing Its cost of production last year

uowh io .iu43 a kilowatt hour, the Anderson plant was producing electricity at .01320 a kilowatt hour. There is not so much difference in the cost of production and when it is considered that the Anderson company shows no payment of taxes, the Richmond plant suffers very little. In fact, there is little to choose between the companies. And the Anderson company allowed only .002175 for each kilowatt hour of electricity sold as a fund for depreciation while the Richmond plant was allowing .0031 cents for each kilowatt hour. And the Richmond plant also paid its employes slightly more for each kilowatt hour of production than did the Anderson company for Richmond shows an allowance for the time of salaries of .00043 and Anderson shows an allowance of .000365 and Richmond shows an allowance for wages of .0051 and Anderson shows an allowance of only .00368. Show Even Lower Cost. Some of the utilities in the state which are operated in connection with utilities in other cities or which obtain their electricity through a central station, show a cost of production for each kilowatt hour less than that shown by either the Anderson or Richmond municipal plants. Notably among these companies is the East Chicago company which is owned by the big Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company. The cost of each

kilowatt liour of electricity produced and sold by the East Chicago company is shown as .011325, Some of the other electric companies which have filed their reports show a production cost for each kilowatt hour as follows: Evan sville, private, .013435; Gary, Calumet company, .0150 and Gary Light, Heat and Power company, .0293; Hammond, Northern Indiana company,) .011325; Huntington, .0247; Kokomo, .0110; Lafayette, .0304; Laporte, .025857; Marion, muni cipal, .0235; Michigan City, .017184; Peru, .023583; Peru, municipal, .0276; Vincennes, municipal, .0265; Vincennes, private, .0522, and Whiting, .011325. Plant Shows Profits. The Richmond private plant while operating independently showed it obtained for each kilowatt hour sold last year an average of .0312 while the municipal plant shows it obtained .0365 so that while the private plant was not earning very much from its production, the municipal plant was obtaining a good income.
