BIG RALLY STIRS
INTEREST HERE
AmericanizatiOn Meeting Sat
urday Night ROuses
Enthusiasm.

Final arrangements for the big Ameri-
canization meeting at the Gypsy Smith
Tabernacle Saturday night and for legion
night at Irene" at the Murat theater
Monday night, April 4, were discussed at
a meeting of the Marion County executive
committee Of the American Legion last
night.
At a finance committee meeting at the
Board of Trade at noon today it was
suggested that inasmuch as it seems Ger
tain that even the large seating capacity
Of the Gypsy Smith Tabernacle may not
be sufficient to seat the great throng, that
an overflow meeting be held in the north
half of the courthouse yard, to be ad-
dressed by Judge Lands and other
speakers This matter will be taken up
for further discussion at a meeting OF
the executive committee Of the Marion
County council, to be held at $40 o'clock
today at the Chamber Of Commerce.
The great interest that is being taken
by various organizations in the celebra-
tlon was shown today when IL was an
nounced that the Elks Club had donated
S25 toward defraying the expenses of the
meeting, and were organizing a special
parade of Elks to the hall. This parade

mission the company must have n large
amount Of money by May l and that II
is extremely doubtful whether the com
pany will be able to borrow under pres
ent conditions.
Don't you contemplate the payment
Of diyidends?" Mr.. Ashby asked.
DIVIDENDS ARE
HELD ESSENTIAL.
do you think the stockholders are
going to furnish this property free "a
the public?" Mr.. Todd demanded.
"You should not expect to pay divi-
dends because the stockholders have nc
equity in the company" Mr.. Ashby said
"The facts are exactly contrary" Mr.
Todd said.
If we shouldn't pay dividends we
would have a receiver within thirty days,
Ferdinand Winter counsel for the com
pany, said.
Dr. Henry jameson, chairman Of the
board Of directors of the company. was
pat on the stand to testify concerning
the payment OF dividends. He said II
was necessary to pay dividends, even II
money had to be borrowed to do It, in
order to obtain any kind OF credit.
CONTINUES TO BREAK
DOWN TODD TESTIMONY.
Strenuous efforts to break down the
testimony of Robert I. Todd. presiden,
Of the street railway company, by Sam
uel Ashby, corporation counsel for the
city OF Indianapolis, were continued yes
terday afternoon. Mr. Ashby contended
in reply to Mr.. Todd's statement that
n large surplus is necessary to enable
the company to borrow money that
the commission had no power to grant
the company an increase that would en-
able It to obtain such surplus. Mr.
Todd replied that he believed the com
mission had power to give the company
a rate that would enable 1t to earn
enough to borrow money.
Mr.. Ashby attacked the testimony OF
the street railway president to the eff
feet that paving between the tracks and
similar work was charged to maintenance
rather than to the capital account Mr.
Ashby demanded to know whether, when
the company surrenders its franchise, 1t
will ask for increased rates on the ba-
sis of valuation as increased by so-called
maintenance He replied that 1t would
not and that the valuation placed on the
company is not nearly so high as II
should be in view of present prices.
Mr.. Ashby repeatedly 1ntimated that
the company had unduly inflated its def
cit in order to make a showing. He
pointed out that included in the list of
proposed expenditures for this year was
an item of SAL 600 for franchise tax
which would not need to be paid should
the company elect to surrender it's fran
chise under the new law
Mr.. Todd told the commission that the
company Is buying a large amount of
coal because 1t fears trouble at the mines

the evangelist laughed.
The evangelist called upon the people
not to blame the church when he said,
Don't blame the church because the
devil can compel you to do wrong. He
can only tempt you. He can not make
you sin. When you want the right kind
Of life you can get 1t. Die rather than

break the whole, so says the scripture.
Gambling viii eat the very soul out

In speaking on his text the first book
of Samuel and the fifteenth chapter the
evangelist said:
God can wipe out a people just as
you erase words from a slate. He can
dispense with them who disobey his
laws. There is limit to the patience of
the Lord. 1t is terrible thing to meet
with a disappointed Lord. Unless a man
battles successfully with himself in the

Because the State law makes divorce

that change Gods law? Sin is sin where

the face OF the Lord. There Is a danger
that we are setting up two standards of

REPORTS INDICATE
SUCCESS ASSURED.

From all reports the Americanization
meeting promises to be even more sue
cessful than had been hoped for by the
most optimistic member Of the legion.
The Idea has been received with the
greatest enthusiasm, not only by the
patriotic and civic organizations of the
city. hut by the general public as well.
Unquesuonably, the promoters point out,
there has been a growing feeling that
there is a great need for the reassertion
OF the true spirit Of America throughout
the country. and the meeting Saturday
night Is being welcomed as an opportun-
ity to show the State and country that
Indianapolis is American from one end
Of the city to the other, 100 per cent
plus.

planned, many legion posts and other
organizations viii march TO the hall as
separate units and there viii he an in
