TAXING BACHELORS
 AND FOLD MAIDS

An old registrar of vital statistics at FreeIand, N. J., ventures out with thet suggestion that both unmarried men and women over 30 years of age, be subjected to a special tax At least half of this proposition will not be so quickly dismissed as pleasantly as would have been the case few years ago.
 Most women earn much less than men, and not many of them should be subjected to further taxation Null titudes of bachelors are making high wages. They could well pay an ad-

PHONE RATES
HEARING JAN. Is
Service Body to Hear Pleas for
More Revenue by Many
Concerns.

Telephone toll rate changes will he
considered by the public service commits
sion at a hearing which opens Jan. II.
The commission will hear petitions of
various telephone companies for the re-
tention of the Burleson rates or for in
creases over those rates.
Jurisdiction over telephone rates was
returned to the state five months ago.
1t was stipulated that unless otherwise
ordered by commissions, the rates in
effect before the BurIeson rates were in
stalled should become effective Dec. l.
The commission found that 1t could not
issue an order before that date and
therefore ordered the rates continued.
The commission expected to issue an
order affecting local rates and becoming
effective today 1t found however, that
this could not be DONE because of the
enormous amount of work connected
with such an order According to Nom
bers Of the commission, the local order
will come out about Jan. 10.
The commission has authorized the
consolidation of eight southern Indiana
telephone companies. They are the Sey
mour Mutual Telephone Company, the
Home Telephone Company of Browns
town, the Home Telephone Company OF
Bicknell, the Jennings County Telephone
Company, the North Vernon and Vernon
Telephone Company. the Butlervllle Tele-
phone Company, the Scott County Tele-
phone Company. and the Lexington and
Little York Telephone Company The
company will be known as the Southern
Indiana Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and has been authorized to issue
100000 in common stock. 1t was incor-
porated by J. B. Thompson, II. H. Car
ter, J. V. Richart, ). FL. Andrews and

SPUR OFFICIALS
IN BROWN CASE
Citizens Demand for More Ac-
ton Expected to Speed
Solution of Murder.

Mt. CLEMENS, Mich Jan. Within
the next forty-eight hours arrests will
be made which will do much to solve
the puzzIing question Of "who killed }.
Stanley Brown" authorities intimated
today.
Just a week ago this morning, the
body of the eccentric young clubman
was found In his car, sIumped over the
steering wheel, his head pierced by four
bullet holes, on the lonely Utica road.
During the week Of investigation, ono
person has been arrested and charged
definitely with the staying Cecile Bea-
trice Vester, who entered plea Of mot
guilty"
BELIEVE HER VICTIM
OF FRIENDS RAGE.
Her examination was set for Saturday.
With her questioning yesterday interest
in the Vester girl has Jagged. Those on
the ground are inclined to believe her
innocent of the crime with which she Is
charged-a victim of the rage of a for
ner Bosom friend whose coat she pawned
for $40 and left with the money
Throughout the quiz she was calm and
collected. Her knowledge of legal pro-
cedure astonished court officials. Al
though not represented by counsel, she
demanded an examination and entered
her plea without violation of legal
technique.
There is an undercurrent of opinion
here that the persons who have knowl-
edge of the crime are still at liberty,
despite the belief that county officials
have evidence which would hold them
under arrest.
COMES TO HEAD WITH
COMMITTEES ACTION.
This undercurrent came to a head
yesterday when a committee of citizens,
headed by a prominent clergyman, de
manded more action" on the part of
officials.
The clergyman, Rev Mr.. Dodge. de
clared three persons VINO have their lib
erty should be arrested. He declined to
say to whom he referred.
No word had been received early to-
day from Lansing as to the attitude
the governor will take on the request
for a special prosecutor. This request,
made by prominent Mt. Clemens citizens
was based on differences of opinion re-
sulting in friction between city and
county officials.

SUIT FOLLOWS
DEALIN STOCK
Greenfield Man Wants Return
of Note and Cash on
Ground of Deception.

Suit to recover a $4,000 promissory note
and $1,000 In cash alleged to have been
paid for stock which was never deliv-
cred was filed in superior court today by
Oscar Heller of Greenfield. The defend
ants are Bamberger & Feibleman, attor-
neys: Ralph Bamberger and Isadore
Feibleman, individually; David b. Sim
mons, doing business as Simmons & Co.
James G. Ray, d. r. Stone and Carl
Conrad, all of Indianapolis.
Heller states that Simmons went to
Greenfield representing himself as Stone
salesman for Simmons & Co. The
plaintiff says Simmons told him his
company owned 800 shares of the stock OF
the Capital Film Company of Chicago
which had a market value of $3.50 a
share and a par value of $40. He al
4 Ieges he gave Simmons his note for ST .00C
in payment of 100 shares at their repre-
scented par value and took an option or
the 400 shares at $40 a share.
/ Heller alleges that Simmons later
caused a draft to be fled with a bank
at Greenfield and that he paid the 81 .00(
note. Meanwhile, he says, he gave Sim
mons a note for $4,000 IN payment fol
the remaining stock and that he put uT
4, 600 shares Of oil stock which he owned
\ as colIaCerdl security. '- ne Alleges Lnd
/ Simmons assigned the note to Ray and
Conrad, who were aware of the circum
stances.
The plaintiff alleges that he has made
repeated demands for the delivery of tht
stock but that none of it has been de-
Iiyered. He said that Feibleman an6
Bamberger are making attempts to col
! lect the $1,000 note. He also alleges thai
he had an agreeemnt with Simmons thai
the note should be returned if the stock

WOMEN SURE
THEY WILL WIN
Expect Majority of State
SOl0ns to Consent to One
Day Session.

Despite reports that many members
of the legislature are opposed to rledg
ing themselves TO take up nothing but the
ratification of the national suffra ge
amendment II the general assembly Is
called into social session, officials of the
Woman's Franchise league are confident
that they will be able to obtain approval
of the Plan by the majority of the legis-
lature. They hope that the session will
be called for Jan. IS.
All the opposition to the governors
plan does not come from members of
the legislature Not all suffrage work
ers are in accord with what they term
the governors passing the responsibility
Of protecting his administration to the
women. There is also some objection TO
the manner I'm which the statement of
the governor was obtained.
ONLY REPUBLICANS
VISIT GOVERNOR.
Heretofore It has been customary for
the members of the legislative committee
of the league TO handle matters per
tanning to suffrage legislation. The
committee is made up of an equal num-
Der of republicans and democrats. Only
one member of this committee was among
the women who called on the governor.
This was Helen Benbridge, republican,
w
virtue of being president OF the lea que.
Two OF the other women, Miss Betsie Ed
wards and Mrs. Charles A. Butler, are
employees of the republican organization.
The fourth. Mrs. John +. Barnhill. Is a
republican. They were accompanied by
Frederick F. Schortemier, secretary of
the republican state committee.
ASKS HELP OF
ALL CHAPTERS.
Miss Benbridge has asked all the chap
ters of the organization to assist in OBJ
tanning the consent of legislators 10
come to indianapolis for the sole purpose
OF ratifylng the suffrage amendment. AT
the same time. she is sending letters to
each member of the assembly who will
be expected TO pledge their support to
the governors plan. Officials OF the
league say they believe a majority will
be all that Is necessary. On the other
hand a two-thirds vote is necessary TO
suspend the rules and pass any legisla-
tion in one day.
In commenting on the manner In which
the governors statement was obtained,
Miss Benbridge said:
1.-THE suggestion of the governor came
as a complete surprise. We wanted, OF
course. Ia have session called in the
regular way. The governor explained
however, that this would not be possible
for some time, and that this plan was
the best he could do. We are glad to
take this way OF securing ratification.
We need ratification so badly We would
seize any opportunity to get it-and we
owe it to the other states"
