OPPONENTS

UTILITY STATUTE

Claimed They Are Seeking to Undermine Lav; in Hope of Getting Back Their Old "Divvies."

cprlal Corrpsj.ondciiCf-. INDIANAPOLIS. July 'j. A prominent rnemln-r of th public srvic mmmi.v'-'in today said that if the v.f-xl leilatur is prevailed upon to seriously impair th puMir utllit;' law In Indiana, an element in Indiana's mcipty. whih hitherto has - n ov rlr.oke, in the- utility regulation xame, uould f- t -sponsihle. It has hern known for some time that certain powerful utilities in the Mat were not looking with favor on th first year's operation of the utility law and that secret efforts were heintf mad' to insure the election of members of the legislature, who would he "ripht" If a fuht on the puhlic utility hill Wanif imminent in KU". These utilities now have a slightly different attitude towards the commission and its work, this commissioner said. IJut the real danger to the law lies in tiie type of Indiana politician that lias for years made certain Indiana municipalities reek with graft and corruption. It Is towards th've men that the advocates of utility regulation must show their front if they "would protect the law in its entirety, the commissioners helieve. I'tiHty Danger Minlmied. While there always is danger that the utilities may create a reat slush fund to wipe out the law, the danger has heen minimized, this particular commissioner believes, because of the methods of easy establishment of ickulattd monopoly, which the Indiana law allows. Thin regulated monopoly, while it has not been tried out sufficiently Is not such a bad pill in the mouths of the utilities as they at first imagined, it is said, and for that reapon any fisht that may be brewing against the commission may not draw heavily from the very ranks in which it is started. Jbit the little fellows who, for years, have practically lived from the

"divvies" under which public service corporations obtained franchises and lack of franchises, grants and lack of grants, rates and more rates, are the one.s who will make the final flu'ht against the law. if one is made, say the friends of the law. Tittle "f;rartcrM iniiol." "These little fellows who had their hands in the pie when the eating wa.i L'oed are the or.es we have to watch." said a commissioner. "Not that any of us care particularly about our per--1.il job, hut because we feel that .N !dea of the public service commission ir, ri'ht, must we fiht them if they start to emasculate the law at the" next legislature. It will not be the utilities that defeat the law. They could hae dfne that last year had thev so desired. A fund of a million dollar would have defeated this law as it stood. Hut the fund was not forthcoming. And now it is the little Krafter. the small city official, who for years has been the. recipient of a 'divvy' and now finds himself without such Mivy that will most bitterly a-ssail the statute at the next legislative meeting." It has become known here for the first time that a few minor changes are contemplated in the puhlic utility law by the democrats, in case Jt is decided that anything can be done to the statute without laying it wide open for the possinle insertion rf many "jokers" in the text of the statute. An amendment relieving a situation which has arisen and is said to be unfair to the utility companies is proposed, it is known. This would peek to remedy a situation wherein a mutual telephone company compels a city 'phone company to make phjsical connection with county toll hoards. Friends of the law and members of the commissioners are reticent concerning possible amendments to the statute. It is believed that wiser heads may prevail in the party and no attempt to change it will be made. This would keep all attempts to mutilate the powers of the commission in the background indefinitely. There has been no talk of an organization by the opponents of the statute yet.

Hoo.se-velt May and Ho May Not Run For CJovernorsliip of New York. OYSTER RAY. X. Y.. July 0. After a day of almost uninterrupted conferences with progressive leaders In New York. Col. Roosevelt, on his return home Wednesday night was no nearer than ever to making up his mind to run for governor. From a statement given out by him Wednesday night, it is taken that the ex-president is still fighting to avoid heading the state ticket. The leaders in New York who want to force him to run have not yet persuaded him. "Strong pressure was brought to bear on you to run for governor?" said the correspondent. "Yes," with a positive nod. "Are you going to run?" "I haven't ;aid I would," said the colonel. Progressive leaders pounced on the colonel at national headquarters from all over the progressive map. The preponderance of advice was against his being drafted. Those who argued against it urged that the colonel would sacrifice his standing on the presidential fight for a state battle, the outcome of which is too uncertain for him to mk.

E. J. Gainor of Muncie Addresses Members From Several Nearby Cities Wants Help for Old Members.

letter carriers from six cities in the vicinity of South Bend assembled in the Knights of Pythias hall last night. The occasion wa.s a visit to the local branch by E. J. Gainor of Muncie. president of the National Association of letter Carriers. There were 173 present. Mr. (Jainor made a lenghty talk in which he set forth statistics of the national association and th? results obtained by their united efforts for a better national postal service. Mayor Fred Keller and Secy. H. G. Spaulding of the Chamber of Commerce were also on the program for short talks. "We have inspired a wonderful fraternal spirit in the 1.600 branches of our order in the United States." said Mr. Gainor in the course of his talk. "Our common sense nv-lhod of handling our business and other affairs has been responsible for promoting more intimate and cordial relations with the postefnee department and postmasters throughout the counry. "We have aimed so high and our succ ?ss 'las been so marked that we have appealed to public sentiment. As a result congress has raised our salaries and increased our days of vacation. We have made proper provision for compensation for injuries received by letter carriers in the performance of their duty." Mr. Gainor further made a special plea for some provision to care for the aged men of the service, which is now presenting to the government a serious problem. He pointed out that retirement and annuities were being granted employes in a great number of our large corporations, railroads and municipal employments until the number so covered now reaches over 2,000,000. In conclusion. Mr. Gainor complimented Postmaster G. W. Zinky of the local department for the happy feeling now existing between himself and his employes. Postmaster ZinKy. Mayor Fred Keller and Secy. Spaulding followed with brief talks. All stated that organization in the postofTlce department of the government was the most effective

way to get desired results. I The evening was ended with lunch and cigars. The six cities repre- i sented, aside from South Rend, were I Michigan City. T.aporte. Niles, Mish- , awaka, Elkhart and Goshen.

Charles Derg and Carl Hanson, the victims of last Saturday's bomb explosion. Despite the fact that Mayor Mitchel Wednesday signed a special ordinance passed by the board of aldermen to prevent a permit being granted for any parade which threatens to be disorderly.
