there is absolutely no means of con-
Meeting any of the persons named
with the bootlegger's operations. The
list was not one of account due or

Adds Touch Of HumOr.
A decided touch of humor has been
given to the situation by the fact that
local insurance broker has seized
upon the list to mail TO all the per-
sons mentioned an accidental hooch'
insurance politg, supposed 10 be good

in the newspaper that the list really

The fathers of the olden time
which time will not return-thought
every boyish prank crime that
called for measures stern. When
little Aleck went to fish upon the
Sabbath day, he'd hear a birch rod
swoosh and swish before he hit the
hay. In every woodshed there were
straps and rods and strips OF lath,
with which the litt4e erring chaps
were shown the righteous path.
Tired Father knew infrequent joys,
his lot was stern and sad, and
knocking sawdust from the boys
was all' the fun he had And as he
made his offspring smart. he'd say,
My little Hugh. this pains me Ill
my inmost heart more than it's hurt
ing you" Old-fashioned things are
done away; behind the woodshed
door the birchen rod that used to
fay, the strap. are seen no more.
On children now there's no restralpt,
no caustic words are said ii gayly
they elect to paint their native vii
lage red. For Father joyrides i'll his
bus that's made OF costly tin; he
hasn't time to raise fuss DER every
boyish sin The woodshed now has
wider doors. that, cars may enter
there, and from it come no an

was engaged. And the belated nap
piness of that woman and the dreams
she had allowed herself would have
been pathetic. unless one would

anyhow:
While the farm lady was lament

thereof the woman from the little
house came up to the garden fence

side. The voice of the dear woman
uuavered and tears were in her eyes.
Il am so sorry for you, Mrs. Blank
| know just how you feel. I've had
cause to feel that way myself"
This was news to the farm lady,
Seeing she never knew that her
neighbor owned turkeys, so naturally
She asked for particulars. And the
tears of the dear woman slipped from
eyes to chin.
NO, haven't lost any poultry.
but you know the young man l was
going to- marry? Well, he has broken
! the engagement. and my loss makes
me know just how you feel.
1t was an astonishing comparison.
but, please goodness, there are some
understanding, souls in this world,
and the farm lady was one of them
She must have been. for she didn't
let the chuckles bubble out until
she had soothed the deserted one with
the right sort of sympathy and gone

WATER FIGHT MOVES

More Information.

Developments came thick and
fast in>the fight on the Indianap-

for increased rates today.
Edgar NJ. Blessing. member of the

statement, assumed to be the result OF
Mayor Shank's assertion in a speech
at Garfield park Monday evening
that "a short time ago one member
Of the public service commission and
his wife were buying some new
gowns and things. When their
neighbors asked where they were GO

Corporation Counsel Taylor Z.
Groninger filed a second request for
engineering equipment information
from the water company with the
commission. He asked that the com
pany be required to furnish the data.
He asked nineteen questions of the
water company several days ago.
These have not been answered.

conference with Governor McCray and
other commissioners. excepting Glenn
Van Auken, who is out of the city:
Has Utility Friends
II cannot conceive that the Indian
apolis Water Company case has re
solved itself into a question of friend
ship
Since coming on the commission
have met a great number of utility
men and citizens Of our State whom
II would be proud to claim as my
friends. I would not be proud of that
fact. however, If 1 thought these same
men felt that, because of their ac
quaintanace with me, they could Sc
cure a decision not justified by the
| law and the evidence.
"The water case will be tried upor
its merits and not be determined or
the basis of friendship for any one
connected with the water company
nor will the commission be prejudiced
against the rights of the citizens OF
Indianapolis by any influence, but II
will be governed solely by the Law
and the evidence. If the commission
in its final determination of this case
is in error there Is right Of appeal
and l assume that every one has i'm
plicit confidence in our courts"

COUCH CHARGED
WITH S9,839.61
FUND SHORTAGE
Accountant Makes Report on
Former StatehouSe
Custodian,

Personal shortages totanng $3.50 81
and an aggregate Of S1s.154 in un-s
paid bills now outstanding against
the State are charged against Roy
Couch, recently ousted as custodian
at the Statehouse, an official report
made today to the building and
grounds committee Of the capitol
building by Lawrence F. Orr, chief
examiner of the State board of ac-
counts, shows.
Following receipt Of the report mem
bers of the committee, composed of
Governor McCray, State Auditor
Robert Bracken and Secretary OF
State Ell Jackson, met in the Gov
ernor's office to discuss the situation.
1t is generally understood that At
torney General U. S. Lesh will file a
civil suit for recovery of the shortage
in the event COUGHS bondsmen, the
Fidelity and Deposit Company OF
Maryland fails to make settlement.
Couch was bonded for $4,000.
The principal shortage listed is the
sum of s6,538.26 drawn for Dawson
Brothers, paint contractors, the re-
port alleges.
In a series Of eight drastic recon-
mendations accompanying the report
the examiners suggested that all bids
on work and material henceforth be
submitted to the committee on build
ing and grounds for approval. An
other recommendation that all pay
ments for labor and material be made
directly to the persons furnishing the
same That all supplies be kept un-
der lock and key was another sug-
gestion.
Couch is understood to be enn-
ployed in Chicago. He could not be
reached here.
Orr said the report probably would
be turned over to the Marion County
prosecuting attorney.
