INDIANA FAVORS
STATE GROUPING
Holds It Fair Basis for Fixing
Railroad Rates.

John f. Benton, attorney at Wash
ington for the Indiana public service
commission. was ordered to go before the
interstate commerce commission today
and represent the state commission as
favoring the grouping Of railroad proper
ties by territory for appraisal as basis
for rate liking.
Indiana is included In the Central
Freight association territory, which COM
prises states east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Mason and Dixon line. This
district would form one group under the
proposed plan. Other groups would be
the southern tier OF states and the west
ern states.
FAVORS ADDITION
OF TWO SYSTEMS.
The Indiana commission favors re-
tanning the present classification with
the addition Of the c. o. and Norfolk
& Western lines. The interstate com.
merce commission decided IN favor Of
the official classification plan, when act
ing as an advisory board to the federal
railroad administration.
The public service commission and the
Indiana Chamber OF Commerce have
flied with the interstate commerce com
mission petition alleging dIscrimina-
ton in class freight rates between In.
and northwest territory as compared
with rates from Illinois points. The
discrimination is held to be Injurious
TO Indiana shippers.
ALLEGED DIFFERENCES
IN RATES SET OUT.
Rates from Indiana points to the ter
ritory named have increased Is per cent
since October, 1914, while rates from MI
nois points have increased only Is per
cent, 1t is alleged. Rates from Indiana
points TO St Paul are said to be from 80
TO 90 per cent higher than Illinois rates.
Forty-one railroads are named as de-
PENDANTS. The same case was heard by
the railroad administration IN 1918 ano
recommendations were made to the effect
that the rates were unjust, but the ind
ings were made too late for relief TO be
afforded before railroads were returned

Craig Defends Plan to Build
on North Meridian.

A statement In defense Of the plan to
erect an assembly Plant for the CRAIG
Hunt Motors company at Thirty eighth
and Meridian streets has been issued by
". c. Craig, president of the company
Mr.. Craig, in discussing the building,
defended the selection OF a site and said
the building was to be one that would
be source Of civic pride as 1t will be
designed in harmony with the ideals en-
bodied in the automobile to be manu-
featured. He issued the following state
ment:
Naturally then we looked for the best
site Indianapolis had to offer. We re-
membered that Ford's beautiful building
was at the corner of the boulevard and
Woodward avenue, Detroit That the
Packard, Hudson, Chalmers, Continental
Motors and many other Of Detroits.
largest automotive Industries occupied
ideal sites on that city's most beautiful
boulevards and avenues. When you go
to Detroit these are the show places to
which you are first taken with their
whole hearted civic pride. And it is
what made Detroit the fourth city Of the
United States Of America.
I'VE proclaim indianapolis as our
home and defy any one to question our
loyalty in wanting it to be the most
beautiful American city, and we sin
eerely believe the building that viii
meet with our ideal for this location can
justly add to the civic pride Of its
citizens"

LONDON, March 22-Supporters OF the

reported to have opened negotiations
with President Ebert for amnesty. ac-

WATTS ACTION
OF HIGH COURT
ON NEWBERRY
Senate Expects No Move to
Gust Convicted Michigan
Member.
CONTROL IN BALANCE

DETROIT, March 22.-Although no ac-
ton Is expected by the senate looking to
the unseating of Senator Truman II.
FewDsrzy Of Michigan, pending the final
decision in the case by the supreme court
Of the United States, the case is fraught
with so many possibilities as to arouse
widespread speculation in the political
circles.
The case, as it stands before the SEN
ate committee on privileges and eiec-
tons, is one of contest for the seat
from Michigan between Newberry and
Henry Ford This one seat, it is de-
ciared here, means the political control
Of the senate Counting Newberry, there
are forty mine republicans and forty
seven democrats. The seating of Ford
would make tie and the vice presidents
vote would give committee chairmanships
to the democrats.
Newberry's decision not to resign from
the senate pending final action on the
case arouses interest as to his reception
in the senate when he returns to Wash
ington. The rules of senatorial courtesy,
however, are so well established as to
lean to the belief there will be every con-
sideration for him until the highest court
acts.
The special subcommittee which has
been handling the Newberry Ford case
viii meet next week to consider its
course of action. Conferences probably
will be held with attorneys for New
berry and Ford. The conviction of New
berry, even by the highest court, would
not automatically disqualify him from
the senate, as the bodies OF congress are
sole judges of their respective member
ships.
1t was said In several quarters that IL
Newberry should resign, in anticipation
Of unfavorable action by the senate. eth
er Congressman Patrick II. Kelley Of
Lansing or former Senator William Alden
Smith of Grand Rapids, both republic
ans, would be appointed by Gov. Albert
