BILL ATTACKS
MERGER ORDER
OF COMMISSION
Petition Demands Rehearing
of Alleged Illegal COnsOli-
datiOn.
81 REASONS ARE CITED

Contending tie order of the public
service commission authorizing the In
diana Electric Corporation to issue $1l,-
400. 900 in securities for the purpose OF
purchasing the property of seven Indiana
utility plants is unlawful illegal and
void" the city Of indianapolis, the city
of Kokomo and various indianapolis in
dustrial concerns today filed petition
with the commission asking for a re-
hearing Of the case.
The petition contains fftyone para
graphs, each setting out a reason why
the order complained should not stand.
The petition contends the corporation is
not a untiltity and cannot legally func-
ton as a utility. The commission, the
petitioners say, had no right to permit
the corporation, with a capitalization Of
only $4,000, to issue the securities au-
thorized.
PETITION HOLD
ORDER VOID.
The order is void, the petition holds,
because the American Public Utilities
Company and the Merchants Public Util-
tiles Company, which are involved in the
purchase and sale, were not parties to the
action. The petitioners object further the
order was issued on an amended petition
filed after the original petition had been
disposed Of
On the subject Of capitalization the
petitioners object to the fact the capital
ization authorized is in excess Of the
total capitalization of the companies in
volved. The purchase of the utilities is
characterized as a merger and as such,
the petitioners aver, does not comply
with the utilities law
The petitioners object to holding com
pantes and contends the order of the
commission adds another holding com
pany to five already in existence They
further object the properties to be Joined
are widely scattered and the companies
are formed under different laws.
SAYS POWER PLANT
WOULD LOWER VALUES.
Concerning the proposed power plant
in the coal fields, the petitioner contends
it is entirely unrelated to the case and
the construction and operation of the
power plant would decrease the values
of the properties involved.
One of the principal objections is the
merging Of the various properties makes
the determination Of adequate and proper
rates impossible and that in no place
in it's order does the commission allo-
cate securities in each Of the properties
1t also points out the order does not
designate the amount Of cash and securi-
ties to be paid for eacn property. The
valuation of the property, the petition
ers contend is in excess Of the true
value. The valuation quoted is $16-
10000.
The working capital authorized, $780,
900, is an excessive amount. the petition
ers state and the 500, 600 allowed for go
ing value also Is excessive. 1t also is
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1922-02-03

complained the amount Of working
capital and going value is not allocated
to each utility.
VALUATIONS
HELD EXCESSIVE.
The valuation Of each of the properties
found by the commission is excessive,
the petition says. The petition also re-
fers to each proposed security Issue
separately and charges it is excessive.
The petition goes into considerable de-
tail on the involved ownership Of most
of the utilities concerned.
One Of the principal contentious is
the commission does not show the COM
panfes are able to make a fair return
on the securities authorized, and the

A MORATORIUM
FOR CT. RNANY IS
BELGIUM s PLAN
Loan to Be Participated in
by All Nations Is Also
Recommended to the Al
lied PremierS

london, Dec. (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The Belgian plan
presented by Premier Theunis at
the meeting Of the allied pre-
miers this afternoon called for a
two years moratorium for Ger
many and loan to be participant
ed in by all nations at the rate of
5000, 100000 gold marks per year
for seven years, making a total of
$4,000, 100000. This should rep
resent the total PREPARATIONS in
demnity. The loan will be guar
anteed by the wealth of the Ger
man republic.
According to this plan, the Ger
man debt would be reduced to
between 30,O00,000.00 and 40,-
000,O0O,000 gold marks and
France must abandon all idea of
military or economic pressure on
Germany. The Germans would
be required to effect rigid finan-
cial reforms, including balancing
the budget and stabilizing the
mark. Part of this loan would be
handed over to Germany for that
purpose.
The Belgians propose postpone
ment of the Brussels conference
until the end of January or the
middle of February, Their plan
will probably be discussed Mon
day.

BRAZIL 8 MOVE
FOR D|SARM|NG
MEETING FAILS
Incident May Seriously
Handicap the General
Negotiations Scheduled to
Take Place in March

Washington, Dec. 9.-The cppar-
ent collapse of Brazil's move for a
three cornered disarmament con-
ference with Argentina and Chile
has caused a sensation in diplo-
matte circles here, and has led to
belief in some quarters that the
incident may seriously handicap
the general disarmament negotia
tions which have been expected to
take place next March at the San
tiago meeting of the Pan-American
Union.
News of Argentina's refusal to
join in the preliminary three-power
conference proposed by Brazil, led
the Brazilian embassy to issue a
statement today declaring that
both Argentina and Chile already
had agreed informally to particle
pate in the meeting prior to issu
ance of the formal invitation.
There was some suggestion that
Secretary Hughes might be asked
to suggest a way in which the three
South American nations could COM
pose their differences SO as to in
sure friendly discussion of the dis
armament problem at the Santiago
meeting.
Unless some such step is taken,
1t appears possible that at least
one of the leading powers Of the
South American continent may be
absent when the Santiago negotia-
tions begin.

STUDENT At THE

ARIZONA KILLED
Carlton T. Converse OF
Houston, Tex, Loses His
Life When His Racing
Car Turns Over

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 9.--Carlton
Thayer Converse, of Houston,
Texas, athlete and junior at the
University of Arizona, was al
most instantly killed this evening,
when his racing car turned over
on the Nogales ROAD at a point
about one mile south of Tubac.
j. H. McGibDeny and Lewis Car
penter, who We're passengers IN
the machine, were more or less
injured.
The accident is attributed to
the fact that the car. which Con-
verse was driving, was not equip
ped with lights,
The trio We're returning from
the Nogales-PhoeniX game played
today in the border city when
the accident occurred. The car
swerved to one side of
the road near Tubac and before
the driver was able to gain CON
troll over its course, it shot to the
other side of the road turned
over once and righted itself.
In athletics, the efforts of Con-
verse were confined to the track
team and hurdling events in which
he excelled. Before coming to
the university he was a student
at the New Mexico Military In
stitute at Roswell, and brought an
track record with him.
At the Southwestern athletic meet
last year he established new
record for the high hurdle race
of 16 3-5 seconds and won the
low hurdle event.
In the Douglas-P Phoenix auto
mobile race, on the opening day
of the Arizona state fair, Con-
verse drove the racer in which he
was killed tonight His number
on this occasion was No. 3 and
he ran third in the event.

CONVICTED ON A
MURDER CHARGE
Bert J. Lowe Is Found
Guilty Of Staying His Sis
ter in-Law; Judge Con-
graduates Jury

Greeley, Colo, Dec. 9.-Bert J.
Lowe was found guilty by jury
in district court here tonight Of
first degree murder for the death
of his sASter-in law, Miss Edna
Fern Skinner of Leroy, Ills, last
July 2.
The verdict was returned at
1920 o'clock. The case was given
TO the jury at $50 o'clock tonight,
Lowe had retired for the night
and was sound asleep when ball
iff went to his cell II summon him
to the court room to hear the yer-
dict Of the jury.
Judge Bradfield granted the de-
fense 80 days within which to NE
a motion for a new trial,
Judge Bradfield congratulated
the jury on their verdict. He de-
clared they had brought in a just
and fair finding in the case.
Under the instructions given the
Jury by Judge Bradfield this after
noon, the verdict of first degree
murder was the only one which
could be brought in aside from ac-
quittal,
The crime for which Lowe was
tried was the murder of his sister
in-law, Edna Fern Skinner of Le-
roy, Ills, o. the morning OF sun
day, July 2, last, at the Lowe home
in Greeley. The state charged that
Lowe killed Miss Skinner with a
machine hammer which was found
in the house shortly after the dis
covery of her body and then set
fire to the body and house, after
/ dismantllng a gasoline stove in the
kitchen to make it appear as
though it had exploded.
The state presented as a motive
for the crime that Lowe hoped TO
collect $4,000 life insurance which
he had sold Miss Skinner and in
which he was named as beneficiary
and on which he paid the prem
iums. The defense pleaded that
Miss skinner was killed by the
force of an explosion of the gaso-
line stove which she was lighting
preparatory to beating water to
take a bath and the subsequent
fire which partially destroyed the
Lowe home.
A few days after the death of
Miss Skinner, the coroner at Gree
lev announced he was satisfied she
had met death in an explosion and
declined to hold an inquest. The
BODY then was prepared for burial
and was accompanied to Leroy,
H., by Lowe. There loves ac-
tions aroused the suspicious of a
brother-in-law, who, dissatisfied
with the story as told by Lowe,
came to Greeley in company with
the mother of Miss Skinner and IN
stituted an investigation. His in
vestigation resulted in the order
ing of an autopsy on the body at
LEROY. There the body was eX-
humed and Prosecutor Louis
Bered, accompanied by DR.. Z. u.
Hart of Greeley, attended the au-
tonsy which later resulted in the
filing of murder charges against
Lowe and his subsequent arrest
August 81. The complaint chafg-
ing murder was filed by a brother
of the dead girl Lowe took the
stand and entered emphatic denial
to the charge of murder. The trlal
consumed two weeks.
Lowe did not display any emo
ton when the verdict was read.
He maintained the same inscruta-
Bile calm that marked his demean-
or throughout the trial.
None of the members OF loves
family was in court tonight.
