12,000,000 AT WORK (By Associated Tress' WASHINGTON Sept. 14. Those who are disturbed over the 3,735,000 unemployed of today, overlook that in 1914 there were 7,000,000 out of work, a larger percentage of whom were men and actual breadwinners than in the present unemployed. Secretary Davis said today in a statement. Declaring; that the country has just passed through a period when every effort was made to induce women and others who had not worked for wages or salaries before to "work and save starving Europe." Mr. Davis said

present unemployment figures include great numbers of persons upon whose earnings no one is actually dependent on. "While we have our unemployed. Let us not forget the 12.000.000 who are still at work" the statement said. "A further encouraging fact is that $500,000,000 is now available about the country In the form of bonds already issued or appropriated by the state, county and municipal governments for public works. Undoubtedly this will be organized intelligently." Signs of Recovery. Positive 6igns of business recovery have been furnished by the commis

But one must have his head very much in the air. these days, not to notice the growing prevalence of silk hosiery and the use of silks in general."

The way was cleared today for a speedy trial of Fatty Arbuckle on one of two charges which held that he is responsible for the death of Miss Virginia Rappe after she had been subjected to an alleged attack in hi3 rooms in the St. Francis hotel.

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 14. Proposed acquisition by the new Indiana Electric corporation of seven utilities companies operating in a score of central Indiana counties was denied today by the public service commission. In reaching its decision the commission held that the corporation's plans would over-capitalize the properties, so as to result in the new concern being unable to meet its fixed charges of more than $1,000,000 annually on approximately $16,000,000 of interestbearing securities.

The commission, however, approved the idea of the erection of a central generating plant which the new corporation said it planned to erect in the coal field north of Terre Haute, and also along the Wabash river. Such a plant the-commission said, would give the consumer reduced rates. . Utilities Considered. The companies which the corpora-

tion proposed to consolidate were the Merchants' Light and Heat, of this city; the Indiana Railways and Light, of Kokomo, which also operates an interurban railway between Kokomo, Marion, and Frankfort; the Elkhart Gas and Fuel company; the Wabash Valley Electric company, of Clinton; the Valparaiso Lighting company, the Putnam Eectric company, of Greencastle, and the Cayugh Electric company. No vauation on these properties was fixed in the commission's order, but the corporation claimed a combined value of not less than $18,500,000, on which it sought to issue and assume $21,000,000 of securities, including $1,000,000 of common stock. Citizens and industrial consumers in this city in contending the consoidation as proposed sought to place a value much less than claimed by the corporation. Some of the respondents data contending for a valuation of between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. Various basis were used by expert witnesses in calculating value.

Sept. 14 Decision not to intervene in the mandates question pending the result of negotiations between the principal mandatory powers and the United States was reached today by the special commission of the league of nations recently named in connection with a resolution presented to tie league assembly by Lord Robert Cecil, representative of the Union of South Africa. Lord Robert's motion expressed the desire that the two principal classes of mandates for former German colonies be immediately defined and expressed regret for the dejay In their definition. When the commission met Herbert A. L. Fisher of Great Britain told the members that negotiations were at the moment in progress between the chief mandatory powers and the Washington government and that it would therefore be inopportune for the commission to intervene before the negotiations had been concluded. The commission decided that the result of the negotiations be awaited. Lord Robert who is a member of the commission, dwelt during debate

on the section upon the advantage of presenting an interpretation of article XXII of the covenant of the league of nations, which deals with the mandates question in 6ome form calculated to assure public opinion that the mandatory powers were observing the spirit of the covenant.
