The valuation of the Indiana Bell

alton was fired at $19,7O2, 600, an In
crease of nearly $1,000O00 over the valua-
ton fixed in 1921, by the State board

The valuation does rot include
property of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company used by the Indiana
Bell Company under lease nor is local
real estate figured in the valuation. The
Indiana Bell Telephone Company has
telephone lines in most Of the State.

Allen V. Buskirk tax attorney for the
telephone company, presented figures to
the board Of tax commissioners showing

HE WAS DOING
DUTY, HE SAYS
Suspended Patrolman De-
clares Visiting Movies
Once Was Order.

Four patrolmen. suspended for thirty
days by the board of public safety on
charges that they loafed in a motion
picture show at Thirtieth and Illinois
streets, thought they were performing
their duty by visiting the show, declared
Thomas BledsOe, one Of the four, in a
statement today.
BIedsoe said he never had orders not
TO enter picture shows and that Chief
Of Police Herman Rikhoff did not post
an order prohibiting policemen from 60
ing into theaters until March "a, the day
after the four were suspended.
During the Jewett administration, w.
H. Griffith, manager Of the Garrick
Theater at Illinois and Thirtieth streets,
asked for police protection from boys
who were creating disturbances almost
nightly, Bledsoe said. The theater is
operated with non-union labor and Grit
fifth said he had received a threatening
letter forom the union, according to the
policeman.
Not taking into account the change Of
administration, the theater manager said
he understood the orders TO protect his
place still was in effect and asked Bled
soc. Donald Bushong, Thomas HOpson
and Daniel Foley, the other patrolmen,
to drop into the show when they were
in the ighborhood and see how things
were running, BledsOe said.
Il do not deny l spent about forty five
minutes in the theater,' said Bledsoe,
but l do deny I neglected my duty.
When I went on the police force more
than thirteen years ago I was told by
the chief l was the servant Of the tax
payers. Mr.. Griffith is a taxpayer and
I thought It my duty to respond to his
request for protection"
Bledsoe said all of the policemen sus-
pended have been on the force more than
ten years and this is the first time they
have been reprimanded by the board Of
safety.
Judge Frank Lair OF Juvenile Court
testified to Bledsoes reliability as an
officer before the board.
Another patrolman, Patrick Lyons, was
suspended today, by Chief OF Police Rik-
hof. According 10 the chief, Lyons was
found by Lieutenant johnson and Ser
geant Clifford Richter in a drunken con-
dition IN bed at the Red Onion road

Since the discovery of an amazing

now showswhy thousands may be thin,

weak, thin, nervous, emaciated, easily

This is especially true of those who eat
principally soups, white bread, fish,

foods which have been deprived of
their Vitamines, either by throwing

THRONG HEARS
LOCAL SPEECH
{ BY BEVERIDGE
Mass Meeting Address Is
Initial Appearance in
Marion County.

Enfranchisement Of American women
VS. Us" OF the most important steps
ever taken in the evolution of human
liberty, Albert J. Beveridge told a mass
meeting of Republican women at Tom
linsOn Hall this afternoon. The speech
was Mr.. Beveridges first political adj
dress in Marion County since he an
nounced his candidacy for the Republican
nomination OF United States Senator.
Mr.. Beverage expressed the utmost
confidence that the influence Of women
In politics would be for the betterment
of conditions in this country, and pointed
out that even before they received the
ballot it was their influence which made
possible the enactment Of the child la
Dor law and other legislation of hu-
manitarian nature.
Turning his attention to econmtc con-
ditions. the speaker said that prosperity
never will return until railroad rates are
lowered and taxation problems satisfac-
torily worked out. He was unsparing In
his denunciation OF the interstate COM
merce commission and termed it a most
absurd contraption."
One of the few direct references to
Senator Harry S. New was made in dis
cusslng the railroad situation.
"In this very campaign" he said,
"paid agents have been sent to and
literature distributed among working
men, especially railway employees, TO in
duce them to vote against me- because 1
stand for the restoration of economic
law: whereas the special class of voters
is told, my opponent has taken no stand
on this vital subject and those who re-
ceive temporary benefit from unnatural
conditions, to the injury of the people
as a whole, viii not see these conditions
changed II my opponent Is chosen.
He took stand against American par
ticlpation in foreign affairs, and in
sisted that the pecularities Of American
life and American development are such
that the minute this country becomes so
involved our population divides along
racial lines.

figure at the parley. The conference was
his idea and he pulled down one French
