POLICY OF COMMISSION
Federal Wire Control Ends
Friday; What Will Indi-
ana Body Do?


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind July 2O.-With
federal control Of the wire systems OF
the country expiring Friday and inter-
state rate making power reverting to
the state regulatory bodies. the Indiana
public service commission was to hold a
conference today to determine the policy
in connection with the increased Burle-
son rates and tolls.
The action of the public service COM
mission was precipitated BY the hling
of petition by the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. for temporary approval of con-
tinuance of the present twenty per cent
increase pending a hearing before the
commission. Unless the commission
changes the rates they will remain effec-
tive until December l.
Litigation begun by the commission in
vigorous night to restrain enforcement
of the Burleson rates was ended in June
by the supreme court decision holding
the federal authorities were authorized
TO fix interstate tolls
The conference today was to determine
whether or not the commission will re-
duce the rates before the end of the
four month period ending December 81

GUN TOTERS
JAM GARY
STATION

"Gun-toting" was given the K o. by
the Gary police yesterday.
The central police station in Gary
Is jaGlmed with negro gunner and
suspects.
Throughout the day and extending in
to the night, dozens Of negroes. believed
TO have participated or intended taking
part in the Chicago race riots, were
brought to headquarters. Many Of them
gave their residences as Chicago
They had come out to Gary to pur-
chase guns and a large number we're
successful Some came to Gary seeking
quiet and refuge. When arrested many
we're found carrying new fire arms and
an ample supply Of ammunition They
were loaded for business.
1t is probable that number evaded
the authorities and were successful in
getting back into Chicago armed
with the ban placed on the sale Of
IRE arms in Chicago the coIored rioters.
Gary and other cities in the Calumet
region was flooded with negroes. anxi-
Gus to pay almost any money for re-
volvers and ammunition Guns pur-
chased in this region are being used in
the riots.
Outside Of the arrest Of the gun-toters
no trouble has been evidenced in Gary.
According to the police the colored pop
ulation in the south end are quiet and
taking but little interest In the Chicago
situation. at least it is not showing on
the surface
Proprietors Of stores where fire arms
are sold are being warned not to sell re-
volvers and ammunition. All strangers
and suspects are being detained ann
searched by the police.
That gun toters" will get full dose
of the law was evidence in the Gary
police court yesterday morning when
Judge Dunn found John Person. a Chi
cago negro. guilty Of carrying conceal
ed weapons and imposed q fine Of $40
and sent him TO Jail for sixty days.
