WITH STATEBOD
Ex-PreSident of Phone Com
pany Strong Contender for
. Van Auken'S Place.

Strong sentiment favoring the ap-
pointment of Frank Wampler, former
president of the Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company, on the public SER
vice commission, to succeed Glenn
Van Auken. whose designation has
been presented, coupled with the fact
that Governor McCray has indicated
his desire for a man of Wampler's
qualifications, was taken as an indi-
cation today that the choice is prac-
tieally made -
McCray has said he desires a man
with a decided inclination toward
the public's welfare and, at the same
time, one not easily swayed by un-
reasonable arguments" Il was be-
lieved today that Van Auken, while
originally intending to retire about
Aug. Is, will remain until the In
diana Bell Telephone injunction pro-
ceedings shave been settled. McCray
said a large number Of applications
had been forwarded to him and that
It would be necessary to consider
them before making the appointment
Albert Stump, local attorney, and
Edgar A. Perkins, local labor leader
and member of the 1923 Legislature,
are\ among those mentioned. Wamp-
Ter sentiment seems to prevail, how
ever, in view of his resignation from
the phone company day before the
Indiana Bell filed it's first Federal in
junction suit for rate increases, was
said to be due to dissatisfaction with
the move.

GOVERNOR CONSIDERS
GASOLINE PRICE WAR
Considering Retail Cost in State Too High in View of
Wholesale Figures, Nc Cray Plans Conference
With Attorney General Lesh
General LeSh,

Governor McCray today indicated
that Indiana would taee steps to-
ward forcing a reduction In gasoline
prices. and said he would hold a
conference soon with Attorney Gen
eral U. s. Lesh on the subject He
said he would communicate with Of
flcials Of the Standard OIL Company
of Indiana, at Chicago, and ask for
an explanation of the present high
prices.
Considering the prices OF crude oil
and gas in the fields a decrease would
be entirely justiflable," the Governor
said. He saK he had made an inves-
tigation OF gasoline prices June l and
found Oklahoma prices at 1913 cents a
gallon. At this time, he said, the
freight was 3A cents. transfer costs
2 cents and filing station costs 2
cents.
'In view of the fact that these fig
ures show a legitimate cost price of q
fraction more than 20 cents a gallon
the 23.8-cent price which prevailed at
that time was unreasonable. The
Governor said he believed the same
comparisons in present prices pre-
vailed.
Attorney General Lesh was out of
the city, but 1t believed the two will
confer Tuesday. In line with Nc
Cray's announcement of plans to in
vestigate gasoline prices dispatches
from Chicago shower the price war
being waged in other States. Cover
nor McMasters of South Dakota, who
started the movement, went ahead
with plans to sell the fuel through
State depots. Governor Nestos awaited
an answer to his telegram to the
Standard Oil Company demanding re-
duction. Governor Bryan of Ne
braska acted similarly. Governors
Small of Illinois and Kendall of Iowa
are studying the situation with the
latter favoring the South Dakota plan
Mayor Shank said that he would
be back of a gasoline price war ''be-
cause were paying too much for
gasoline here" He said he would do
nothing until Governor McCray talked
with Lesh, and If they decided upon
something definite, he would CO.
operate.

effort to place the older children in
homes, in spite of views of the super
intendent to the contrary, 1t was
recommended.
The average cost of each child a
month is $27 it was found. which was
felt to be too high"
Everything was in excellent shape
at the Childrens' Guardian Home, 1t
was said. There the orphans ate off
clean table cloths, which were
changed but twice a week. and chill
dfen were trained so they could be fit
for home life. says the report.
The children at the Indianapolis
home are well cared for, and the
house neat and clean, it was said.
The home was too crowded, twenty
three beds being found in one room,
according to the report.
The superintendent said she did not
care TO discuss the matter and that
she tried to keep the children neat
