Dan Needed at Home.

Omaha. April 25.--To tho Editor
OF The Rec: Dan Butler wants TO be
governor! Nothing particularly amaz-
Ing or unusual about that. About
ever so often somebody takes n
hunch they want TO be governor, or
senator, or president OF the gas
works. Dan wants TO be governor on
an economy platform" Bless his
soul! That's the old gag. All OF
them pull IL. but none OF them do II.
But Dan can't be governor. Because.
first. Omaha needs Dan right In
Omaha. Gosh! lie has been here so
long he has become habit. Down
east or out west you hear folks say:
"Omahai o. yes; that's where Dan
Butler lives" Somehow the rest OF
the country just thinks OF Omaha
as some place surrounding Dan.
Now. 1t would be a heck of note
IL Dan moved to Lincoln. First, IL
would take Lincoln long time TO
get use TO Dan and then Lincoln
would have a hard time growing on
Dan-he is so adjusted to Omaha.
Up here in Omaha we feel a little
hurt, too. that Dan wants to leave
us. How we would miss his occa-
tional visits to the city halli How
barren the golf liks would appear
without his burly form! Dan. old
pal, why the desire to exit? If you
want economy for fad, Dan. spring
little of it in dear old Omaha.

WILL PROTEST

RATENCREASE
GrOninger Cites Five Reasons
Why Request Should Be
Refused.

An objection 70 the increase in rates
proposed by the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company was prepared today by Taylor
T. Groninger, city corporation counsel.
to be filed with the State public service
commission tomorrow when the telephone
rate case comes to hearing.
Mr.. GroninEr sets out the following
five objections:
1. The rates asked for IN such petition
are unreasonable. unjust and un-
necessary.
2 The granting Of the rates asked for
in petitioners petition would result IN
injury to the business Of the city Of
indianapolis.
g. The granting Of petitioners prayer
will impose unjust burdens on the people
OF the city of indianapolis.
4. There is not an emergency existing
which is injuring or threatening either
the interest of the petitioner or the in
terests Of the people.
g. At this particular time we are
turning the corner" in price adjust
ments. The officials In Washington, the
heads OF State, county and municipal
governments are now and for several
months past have been working for the
process Of retrenching. Capital and
labor are both knocking their percentage
Of war time toll. For this commission
to grant the prayer Of the petitioner will
be to strike blow at retrenchment. To
grant the rates asked viii be inimical
to the welfare aud the best interests or
the people.
Mr.. Groninger expects to nght the rate
increase every step Of the way. He said
he hoped Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank viii

Two masked bandits held up the

During 1921 the fire department an

This is an exceptionally fine showing"
said Mr.. Curran, "and according to the
records in our office it is the first time in
approximately eleven years our city has
and fire loss.
This fine showing is due in no small
measure TO the fire prevention campaign
which has been carried on in our city
during the past several months, and It
is my firm conviction that the city of
indianapolis can cut its fire loss at least
100000 if all citizens viii cooperate
in this campaign.
"ThrougbOut the United States the 1921
fire loss has shown an enormous in
crease, the latest available figures show

months Of 1921 was more than $40, 900 900

two years ago which resulted In the con-
viction Of Dr. Rollin II. Bunch. at that
time mayor of Muncle, and Horace G..
Murphy, prosecutor of Delaware County,
together with a large number of lesser
lights, were heard in Federal Court today
when Walter b. Sanderson and Luther
Sanderson, cousins, were sentenced to
serve four months in the Marion County

tives from Justice ever since they were
indicted, voluntarily reported to l.. Ert
Slack. who was United States district at

themselves up to Mark StOren, United
States marshal, this morning, and entered
pleas of guilty before Judge Anderson.
The told Judge Anderson that they
had been out in the oil fields of Kansas
for the greater part of the time since
their indictment.
Floyd J. Mattice, assistant district at

Sanderson had taken part In nine fake
prize fights, three times as a fighter and
six times a "steerer," while Luther had
been IN TOUR aHdlrs, once as uSnter anu
three times as q "steerer"
The "steerer." the man who brought

Beidleman who would succeed him to the
