becoming more valuable each year. You
can put away $4,000 or $4,000 or any multi
pie of $4,000, not exceeding 81, 0OO00 provided
you are a resident of Indianapolis. The
New Telephone Company offers limited
amount of its stock to citizens in order TO
secure local strength, the majority of the
stock being held in trust for five years,
which insures the permanence of the man

Union Trust Company to pay per cent

The total issue is 100000. which cannot
be increased. OF this S150, 10000 has been
offered for sale and large portion is al
ready disposed of. If it had been offered
to outsiders the whole amount would have

THE STATE AND TRUSTS
SPECULATION as TO WHAT THE At
ToRNEY GENERAL WILL DO.
Portland Case Decision Supposed to
Cover Eel River Case-Mr. Tay-
Ior's Statement.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the
case Of the citizens of Portland against the
Portland Natural Gas and Oil Company. in
which the court declared that If company
entered into collision with another corpo-
ration 10 the end OF fixing prices and elmi-
mating competition it was liable to forfeit
it's corporate franchises. has given rise to
speculation as to the next move the state
will make against the trusts. 1t is pointed
out that the recent decision seems to open
the door for prosecution of the trusts that
operate in Indiana.
What is known as the Eel-river railroad
case is now pending in the Supreme Court,
and decision is daily expected. Attorney
General Taylor said. yesterday. that. in the
light of the Portland decision, he anticipated
the state would be victorious in the railroad
case. This case has been much before the
public. 1t will be remembered the Eel River
Railroad extended between Logansport and
Butler, and the Wabash Railroad absorbed
ii so as to give the Wabash line TO De-
troit The state began action against the
railroad, on the ground that competition
was eliminated by the combination. The
case went to the Supreme Court, where 1t
is now.
attorney Generdl ldylOr SAID the supreme
Courts decision as 10 combinations was
simply reafflrmins of common law point
that had been in existence for years in
Vulnerable. and the matter was merely a
question of public policy. In the discussion
Mr.. Taylor was asked if he did not think
the new decision would apply to the Stand
ard Oil Company and the glass. iron. steel
and other trusts that exist in Indiana.
These trusts. it was said, had the policy Of
buying in mills. closing down some of them
and combining others to reduce operating
expenses, and the effect was to wipe out
competition. Mr.. Taylcr said he did not care
TO talk of that point at this time. Then Mr..
Taylor was asked if he intended to move
against the trusts under the courts de-
cision.
II do not care to talk about that now"
he said: Il am waiting for the Eel-river
Railroad decision

DENTIST HORNER LEAVES.
Creditors Receive a Letter from Him
i'm Chicago.

There was considerable gossip about the
Stevenson building yesterday concerning
the absence of DR.. Horner. dentist on the
eighth floor of the building. Those who in
CURED OF the superintendent of the building
learned that DR.. Horner left the city several
days ago and that his Office furniture had
been removed by the people from whom 1t
had been purchased on the installment plan.
1t appears that no one in the building knew
that HorDer intended going away except a
young woman employed in his Office. He
told her he was going TO look for a new To-
cation A day or two after his departure
letters were received from him by those he
owed for his office furniture. He wrote
from Chicago telling his creditors TO take
his furniture and balance his account. SUI
perinteDdent Byfield says no one will lose
anything by Horner's departure. He says
the dentist had made payments on all the
furniture he purchased here and that those
he bought from express themselves as very
well satisfied. Horner came here about three
months ago from Columbus. Ind. He was
unmarried and boarded at so North Me-
ridian street. He advertised himself the
first dentist to enter the service of the gov
eminent during the last war for the prac-
tice of his profession among the troops.
Horner was in General Lees division of the
army.

WILL PUSH THE CASE.
Portland Attorney Expects to Win
AGAINST Gas COMPANY.

Special to the Indianapo polls Journal.
PORTLAND, Ind, June THE Journal
of this morning, containing the account of
the decision of the Supreme, Court in the
case of Frank H. Snyder against the Port
land Natural Gas and Oil Company, on pro-
ceedings to have the company's franchise
declared forfeited, was read eagerly in this
city, and the persons who have been waging
war on the high schedule fixed for gas serv-
ice consider the decision a wonderful vic
tory and believe that there is now no doubt
but that the proceedings will be pushed TO
speedy termination. Officials of the gas
company have nothing whatever to say for
publication. F. III. Snyder, who was at one
time prosecuting attorney and brought the
suit, is jubilant. He says he has no doubt
but that all the facts in the complaint as
originally made can be easily proven. this
meaning, of course, that a decision in the
Randolph Circuit Court, where the case
goes back for final trial. will be against the
gas company. In the past the City Council
has been unable to regulate the rates to be
charged for the use of gas in Portland. In
case the decision is against the company
as is fully expected, this will give the Coun-
Gil an opportunity when a new franchise is
asked for. ssfs

Judge Paulus. of the Circuit Court, at
Marion. has issued an injunction against
Frank Van Vactor. ". j. Gregg, Thomas

gas from well on Van Vactor's farm. near
Marion. The state gas Inspector reported

sheriff closed the well when the injunction
was issued. The days flow OF oil was worth
about $. and the gas wasted was worth
many times that amount.
