Federal Aid Against Band OF

Sufferer.
BIZ United Nesos

ST. PAUL, MINI. July 25.-Char1es
R Grace has enlisted the aid of Fed
eral prohibition agents in his war on
moonshiners at Kingsdale, a settle
ment in northern Minnesota.
In the last three weeks a band Of
moonshiners have burned Grace's
lumber camps, dynamited his hotel at
Kingsdaye and "shot up the settle
ment, Grace claims.
Residents there are so terrorized
they are afraid to give evidence
against the gang, it is reported.
Grace tipped Federal agents to the
moonshiners' operations last April.
Raids resulted in the discovery OF
twenty moonshine stills within a
radius Of three miles of the settle
ment-
A band of fifteen men rode through
the town Saturday and shot out win
dows in a dozen homes. Grace's hotel
was dynamited and two persons in
jured. Grace has brought four preach
ers to Kingsdale in the last three
years. Every one of them was
driven from town. One Of them was
stoned,

HOLDS COMPANY
NEED NOT PAVE
BETWEEN RAILS
Public Service Commission De-
crees Street Railway Not
Liable for Expense.
FRANCHISE SURRENDERED
Order Points to Act of 1921
Legislature as Relieving
Utility of Burden.

The Indianapolis Street Railway
Company cannot be required legally
to pave between its tracks. the public
service commission held in an order
today.
The order holds that when the car
company surrendered it's franchise
under an act of the 1921 Legislature
1t was relieved of the paving op1iga-
ton in the franchise.
Responsibility Not Fixed
1t was held that it was not the
province of the commission to say
who should pay for the pavement
but that the street car patrons should
not. The order said that a cIuizen
living two or three blocks from d car
line and who rides a street car must
not only pay for the pavement or his
own street but must bear a part OF
the expense of paving the street on
which the car runs.
Tests Board Powers
The case was taken before the pub
lie service commission after the board
of works had ordered certain pave.
ment. 1t was in the nature of a
friendly action to test the power OF
the board.

SCHWAB FIGURES
IN STUTZ REPORT
Wall Street Hears Story in
Connection With Ryan
Failure.
By United Press


NEW YORK, July 25.-Reports that
Charles NJ. Schwab was seeking to Sc
cure control of the Stutz Motor Cor.
poration Of America, were circulated
in the Wall Street district today fol
lowing the appointment of Peter B.
Olney Jr., as referee by Judge Hand
in the Allan A. Ryan bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
Color is given to the report of
Schwab's interest in the Stutz deal, by
the fact that it is known that he has
already secured one other of the for
mer Allan A. Ryan properties and that
has been interested in motor manu-
facture possibilities for sometime.
The Guaranty Trust Company today
formally offered 111.614 1-3 shares of
the Stutz Motor stock for sale Aug. 2.
among other blocks of Ryan collateral
which they now hold. This is So per
cent of the entire stock of the COM
pany.
Ryan's total liabilities have now
been pared down to S1S.000,000, of
which s14.OO0,O0O are secured.

CHICAGO. July 25.-Although the
public's eyes wers turned on Wash

We're again holding conferences. Both
sides refused to deny or affirm this

Union leaders have declared that
they would not consider settlement
by individual roads, yet it again was
indicated the strike may be broken W
through separate agreements. Union
chiefs, saying they are opposed TO
such settlement. continue to authorize
conferences aimed at individual peace.
Form Company Organizations
Middle West railroad executives laid
plans to form company organizations
which would more strongly. entrench
the position OF the men who refused to
strike and the new men employed.
Union chiefs viewed the move with
alarm, but refused to comment They
indicated. however. that should such
organizations be perfected. it would
definitely eliminate any chance the
strikers have Of returning TO work
under their old seniority rights. The
question of seniority rights is the
chief stumbling block to a strike set

SERIOUS NEED
FOR COAL FELT
IN THIS STATE
Indiana Utilities Reach Critical
Point Within Period of
Two Weeks.

Widespread suspension of light,
heat, water, electric, transportation
and other utilities in Indiana, will
be forced within two weeks by the
coal shortage, the public service com
mission announced today.
Coal supplies Of many utilities are
almost exhausted, according TO State
survey by the commission.
Replies from one-third show;
Figures From Replies
Ten per cent have supplies suffi-
cient to carry them for thirty days or
more.
Fifty per cent have supplies for less
than a month.
Forty per cent can continue opera
tons for only few days to two weeks
unless immediate relief it supplied.
The larger utilities are in worse
condition than the smaller ones. They
consume more coal and were not able
to store such a large reserve.
Water Companies Suffer
It was also indicated that city water
cor 1panles are suffering more than
any other class.
Questionaires were sent TO all utlli-
ties except railroads.
The Indianapolis & Cincinnati Trac-
ton Company was the first interurban
line to feel serious effects OF the coal
shortage and has announced a radical
cut in it's train service. Under a new
schedule the only trains on the Con.
nersivlle and Greensburg divisions
leave Indianapolis at 6 a. m. a. m.
$50 p. m. and p. m.
Had Fourteen-Day Supply
At the time the cut was decided
upon the road had coal on hand TO
maintain the full schedule for four
teen days.
The !. & c. Traction Company cut
follows that OF c.. l. & w. railroad.
which together furnished the only rail
facilities between Indianapolis. Rush
Vile and Connersville. Sharp curtail-
ment of both schedules left the district
badly crippled for transportation.
Others in Better Shape
Other interurban lines are III better
shape The Terre Haute. indianapolis
Il Eastern Traction Company. accord
ing to G.. X. Jenries. general super
intendent. has sufficient coal on nand
to maintain a full schedule Of trains
for about s!xty-fve days.
The Union Traction Company IS IN
about the same condition, and It Is
understood that If It becomes ncces-
sary crude oil will be used as fuel
at the power plants Of the company.
The Interstate Public Service Com
pany. which operates the interurban
| line to Louisville, obtains It's power
from the Merchants Heat and Light
Company.
