UTILITIES COMMISSION
REFUSES TO SET ON PLEA
FOR PREFERENTIAL RATE

Yesterday the Indiana Pubic Utili-
ties Commission gave hearing to a
petition recently filed by the city to
establish a preferential pow rate
schedule, similar to preferential
schedule now enjoyed by the four lar
gest power consumers patronizing the
Richmond Light, Heat & Power COM
pany, with the understanding that such
rates should be extended to any city
plant power patron desiring them.
Today President Bavis of the board
of public works said the commission
would never take any action upon this
petition unless in the improbable event
that the city was thwarted in its eff.
forts to purchase the electric plant of
the Light, Heat & Power company, q
contingency the commission is not an
ticipating.
Anticipates New Schedule.
The anticipation is, according to
President Bavis, that as soon as the
city takes over the plant of the COM
peting company it will at once formu,
late a scientific schedule of rates for
lighting and power, providing in such
schedule preferential rate for large
power users using current generated
during the off peak periods Of plant 5
operations.

SENATORS TO FIGHT
WILSON'S POLICY ON
MEXICAN AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The admin

subject OF a plIIer night in the senate.
to announcements made to-
day by Senators Borah, of Idaho, and
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,, members OF
the foreign relations committee. The
minority membership of the commit
tee is prepared to press for thorough
investigation of the conditions in
Mexico and as a beginning they pro-
pose to prevent or delay the confirm
alton of Henry p. Fletcher, nominated
by the president as ambassador to
Mexico
There are three very potent reas-
ons why we should not at this time
send an ambassador to Mexico" said
Senator Borah today. "The three
points that l make are:
There is no properly constituted
government in Mexico.
"The so-called Carranza government
has refused to consider our claims for
Americans killed and American prop
erty destroyed.
"The bloodshed and rapine that
have marked the last several years
of Mexican history still continue"

Commissioner Murphy, who conduct
ed the hearing yesterday, also inform
ed Mr.. Bavis that, following the mer-
ger of the two local plants, it would
be optional with the city as to whether
it carried out or rejected the preferen-
tial power rate schedules four local
factories now have with the Light,
Heat & Power company.
Examine Two Witnesses.
Only two witnesses were examined
at the commission hearing yesterday
Supt. Kleinknecht Of the city plant and
Manager johnson of the Light, Heat &

ever that the city's petition be amend
ed to provide preferential rate for
consumers who use considerable
amount of current for illumination
purposes during. the off peak period
of each day, the daylight hours.
On January II the commission will

BY COMMITTEE


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was the target for de-
nunciation in the report submitted to
the senate today by the Democratic
majority Of the special committee APP
pointed last session to investigate
charges against the motives Of Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo and other administration Of
ficials on the advocacy Of the ship pur-
chase bill.
The ex-president's magazine articles
impunging the motives of President
Wilson were declared utterly baseless.
THE language clearly imputed to
the officers the desire to see the leg
islation enacted not because the public
was to be served but because Of some
private interests profit. II the writer
had no intention to convey such an
impression 1t is because he is unfami-
liar with the idoms Of the language.
He has never been accused Of this def
ciency," the report read.
