There IS a general feeling here among

Is not ripe for such move.
The fact that the foregoing cablegram
required more than forty eight hours in
transmission and that it was badly gar
bled indicated that Japan Is exercising
some degree of censorship upon dis
patches referring to the proposed disar

ELEVATORS IN
TWO TOWNS ON
FIRE SAME TIME
Franklin Fire Department,
Starting to Aid Edinburg,
Recalled; Loss $4,000.


FRANKLIN, Ind, July 14.-Citizens OF
Franklin and Edinburg, sten miles south
Of here and rural residents living be-
tween the two cities were in an excited
state OF mind today over the fact that
the elevators in each OF the two towns
were on fire at the same time, with the
result that both were destroyed, with a
loss of $4,000.
When the Webb elevator at Edinburg
took fire, a call came to Franklin for
assistance and when the fire department
was ready to leave for that town, the
alarm was given that the Franklin .ele-
yator was also on fire. Excited people
in automobiles who had started for the
Edinburg FIRE turned their machines
toward Franklin to render what assistance
they might to their home town.
Traffic along the Pennsylvania railroad
at both towns was blocked during the
fires as the elevators are near the tracks
and firemen had stretched hose across
the right away.
The loss Of the Farmers Elevator Com
pany here is estimated at $4,000, half
of the value being represented by the
plant and the remainder covered stored
grain. The company IS said to have
carried only $500 insurance.
The Webb elevator at Edinburg was
owned by Percy Brodbeck Of that city
and the fire loss In said to be mostly
covered by insurance. The loss is $50
600.
Spontaneous combustion is given as the
cause Of each fire as no other reason can
be evolved. There is no suspicion OF
incendiarism.

Eward Bell, American charge d'affalres

The newspapers, Yomiuri and Asahi, In

The Asahi quoted an unnamed naval
officer as saying:
Japan doubtlessly is ready to join
such a group Of powers, but not until

The Yomiuri takes the attitude that

Decrease in Freight

WASHINGTON, July IA substantial

In approximately two-thirds of the
United States from the Pacific coast to
the Mississippi and Chicago and from
the Gulf to Canada was recommended
today to the interstate commerce COM
mission by Examiner Disque, of the
commission
The oral arguments will be held tomor-
row.
An application for an order reducing
livestock rates was requested Of the In
terstate commerce commission by the Ma
tional Live Stock Shippers League on the
ground that the rates were prohibitive
and menaced the live stock industry.
The examiner stated that while rates
are not excessive when judged from a
strictly transportation standpoint they
should nevertheless be substantially re-
duced to assist in tiding the livestock
industry over its present period of ad-
versity ana to hasten a return Of nor

LIGHTING RATE
TO BE REDUCED
New Schedules by Two Com
panies Will Be Filed With
Public Service Commission.

New schedules of light and power rates
for Indianapolis We're expected to be
fled with the public service commission
by the Merchants Heat Light Company
today and by the Indianapolis Light q
Heat Company on Friday. The new
schedules will be fled as a result Of an
order Of the commission which gives the
companies until July Is to submit rates
for approval.
According to Charles OBrien Murphy.
vice president of the Merchants company,
his company will file a schedule of four
rates. Originally the two. companies
were expected to file the same schedule
but it is expected they will vary to some
extent Because Of a change IL the sys-
tenn Of rates. 1t is impossible to make
direct comparison between the new rate
proposed by the Merchants Company and
the old rates, but Mr. Murphy says they
will mean reduction to consumers.
The four rates to be fled by the Mer-
chants Company will be residence, COM
mercial light and power, optional light
and power, and primary power.
The residence rate will be IA cents
per kilowatt hour for the first FIVE hours
used and cents for the remainder. The
commercial light and power rate will be
about what is now known as the b.
rate, ranging from 4 cents to cents.
The optional rate would give the con-
sumner an option in choosing either an
all power or an au-light rate. The prt-
mary power rate corresponds to the pres
ent FL schedule and for some kinds
Of business runs as low as Is cents per
kilowatt hour.

had just announced that the bid Of Fruin
& Colnon, st. Louis contractors. for the
construction of the pump and clarifying
house section Of the second unit and the
bid of { Gorge W. Burning of Indianapolis
on the concrete conduits section would be
accepted when the representatives. of the
Martin Company pointed out that the
Fruin & ColnOn bid was accompanied by
bond instead Of a certified check for
the required amount. He cited the law
which he said specifically states the
amount shall be covered by a certified
check
The board then recalled its announce
ment Of acceptance Of bids and postponed
action until Friday or Saturday when a
special meeting will he held
Frank C Lingenfelter city civil en-
gineer and a member of the board, stated
that later Fruin & Colnon filed a certl-
fed check In place of the bond and the
matter has been referred to the city le-
gal department for a ruling. He said
the St Louis firm was advised by c. II.

would be acceptable.
