ROBBERY STORY
UPSET BY WIFE
BrOthauer's Version of Black
Eye and Skinned Face
Held Faulty.

Had Fred Brethauer's wife remained
in hiding 1t Is just possible that his
story of being held up and robbed Of
$120 at o'clock this morning might have
been believed by the police. However,
Mrs. Brethsuer appeared at a most in
opportune moment and not only declared
that her husband never had so much
money, but also told the police how he
received the black eye and skinned face.
When the police arrived at the
Brethauer home, 1873 North New Jersey
street, Brethauer said he had been out
on a drinking party with James Adams.
who lives at his home, and that while
he was lying in bed Adams slapped him
on the side of the head with a bottle
and relieved him of $120.
The police found Adams in a hallway
of a house at 11S North New Jersey
street, and he was so saturated with
liquor that he could not talk, the police
said They then returned to Brethauer's
home and while Sergeant Johnson and
Lieutenant Woollen were questioning
him Mrs. Brethauer appeared. She had
been hiding in the celler.
She explained to the police that her
husband came home by himself and that
Adams was not with him. He entered
the house the police were told, by break
ing a window. and then he accused his
" ife of having a man in the house and
hit her in the face, breaking Ter glasses
she said. Mrs. Brethauer ran from the
house pursued by her husband, who CON
tinued the chase until he collided with a
wire stretched around a lawn at New
Jersey and Wabash streets. The wire
caused him TO stand on his head, giving
him a black eye and a skinned face.
Mrs. Brethauer said she circled around
and hid in the cellar until she was sure
the police were in the house She de-
clared her husband never had $500 and
seldom had more than $40.
The police arrested Brethauer on the
charges of assault and battery and
drunkenness and also arrested Adams on
the charge of drunkenness.

HOPE TO AVERT
ACOAL CRISIS
Solons Propose Seasonal Diff
ferentials to Keep Mine
Product Moving.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Action dur
ing the present session of Congress to-
ward averting another national coal cri-
sis by the. regulation of railroad rates
through a system of seasonal differen-
tials appeared today to be likely as the
outcome of hearings now in progress
before the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committe on the Frelinghuysen bill.
This measure proposes the reduction
Of freight rates in the summer months
as n means of inducing the buying pub
lie to purchase more coal at that time,
it being the contention Of coal operators
that coal famines have been the result
of lack of transportation in winter
months rather than by shortage at the
mines.
The Introduction of the bill in the
present Congress marked the continual
ton of work which the Interstate Com
merce Commission has directed for
nearly two years in the hope Of devils
ing a method for relieving the coal
situation. Although members of the
committee have not yet arrived at con-
clusion as to the exact nature of the rate
regulation proposals as they will be re-
ported to the Senate, 1t was indicated
that definite action looking to a solution
OF the problem was to be expected within
a few days
The majority of the members of the
committee have expressed themselves as
convinced that the principle set forth in
the INTERPRETATION bill was sound, but
there has been some disagreement and
objection from Senator Cummins, chair
man of the committee, and other mem
bers as to the propriety of the fixing OF
the differentials by Congress. They have
been inclined to contend that the estab-
lishment of the seasonal differentials
should be delegated to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which body is
charged in the bill with carrying out
its provisions.

CONDITIONS SAID TO
BE STATEWIDE.
The suit is the first public protest
against a practice which is reported by
a number Of physicians to prevail in the
hospitals of the State of Indiana and a
large number OF instances have been in
vestigated with a view Of the presenta-
ton of evidence to support charges that
1t is the practice Of hospital staffs to
hinder and prevent physicians who are
not members of the staff from perform
ing surgical operations by preventing
them from having access to the hospital
Accommodations that are given to ply
sicians and surgeons who have become
allied with the hospital staffs
The influencing OF patients toward one
of several surgeons who have established
connections with the hospital is said to
be an almost general practice in the
profession and to be applied to prac-
tically all the hospitals Of the State to
a more or less degree. In indianapolis
there are in the neighborhood of go
practicing physicians and it is asserted
that Of this number surgery with IN
trammelled hospital Accommodations can
only be done by about 10 per cent
II is this condition which DR. Ridge
way says has prompted him to enter the
suit for the purpose Of establishing a
conspiracy in restraint of surgery and
contrary to public policy.
