LONG SERVICE ENDED
Famous Sea Lights Replaced by
Modern Signal.
BIZ Times Specicl

PORTLAND. Maine. June Is
Cape Elizabeth's famous 1.-TWO
Lights" which have sent out their
message of safety to mariners for
ninety-fve years, have gone out for
ever. The eastern light was extin-
guished for all time on June IA. as
preparations we're being made for a
more modern system. The western
light, however, kept lone vigil, shin
ing for the last time June 20.
Six flashes of light, reaching thir-
ty-ive miles out to sea, tell sailors
that the big new light has replaced
the twin beacons. One light Of 140,-
600 candle power has taken the place
Of the older system, but the tower
which houses the old lights will be
left intact as a day warning for sea-
farers and, possibly. to be pressed
into service in case of emergency.

RECORD CATFISH CATCH
$500, 600 Pounds, Valued at $1,000
900, Shipped.

OKEECHOBEE, Fla, June Is
The barracuda. the tarpon and the
sailfsh may attract to the Florida
resorts many sportsmen in search of
the thrill that@ comes with landing
one of the big game fish of tropic
waters, but in point of commercial
value these aristocrats of the inny
tribe cannot compare with the pie
beian catfish, known and despised by
northern visitors in their home ponds
as bullheads and bullpout. In the
eight months ended May 1 last g.
500, 900 pounds of catfish were taken
from Lake Okeechobee and shipped
to distant points, bringing a cash re-
turn of 81, 000, 900.

WATER COMPANY
ASKS REHEARING
ON ASSESSMENT
Also Petitions for Lower
Valuation to Cut
Rates.

The Indianapolis Water Company
today filed a petition for rehearing
On it's tax assessment before the
State Tax Board seeking to lower
it's valuation for taxation purposes.
At the same time, the city
through Corporation Counsel Taylor
Groninger filed petition for rehear-
ing seeking to lower the assessment.
The city %rehearing is asked because
lower valuation means lower rates.
Through the petition. the water
company is placed in the position
Of seeking to have its valuation
placed at SIS, 500, 900 for rate max
ing purposes as set out in its
petition for increased rates before
the Public Service commission. and
at the same time seeking to pay
taxes on a valuation lower than
$15,260,400 as set by the commission.
Injunction Now Pending
In it's recent injunction suit
against the commission in Federal
Court, the water company sought to
enjoin the commission from placing
its valuation at a figure lower than
SIT, 500, 900, as set by the State tax
board.
The company in it's complaint sets
out that between Nov. Is, 1928. and
March 1, 1924, the property has been
very slightly increased by betterment
and addition and at that time the
public service commission fixed the
valuation at $15,260,4 400.
Unless the valuation for taxes and
rate making purposes can be brought
more nearly together than the vaIua-
ton of the public service commission
in 1923 and the valuation Of the
State tax board in 1928 and in 1924,
the company will be forced to apply
to the public service commission for
re-valuation for the rate making pur-
poses annually, the company's COM
plant says.
Going Value Mentioned
The complaint also declared the
commission valuation of SIS, 260, 400
includes the going value which the
tax board has no right under the
law to tax.
In its recent finding the commits
sion placed the going value of the
company at $3.50, 900.
In the Federal Court case heard by
Judge Geiger, now under advisement,
the company sets its valuation at
SIS, 800, 900 for rate making pur-
poses.

Walsh BOOms Grows

One result seen Friday was a
strong movement toward Senator
Walsh of Montana. But this move
ment occurring only in the minds
Of the delegates was predicated on
the idea that if Walsh were nom
mated perhaps the Khan question
could be dropped.
Walsh is a Catholic and it is
agreed that Catholics would far
rather see one of their w nom.
mated and the ancient unwritten law
against the nomination of a Catholic
for President finally broken, than to
have The strongest COL ceivable de-
nunciation of the Khan in the plat
form.
Walsh in the popular mind is a
progressive first and a Catholic last.
Around his name the campaign issue
inevitably would be Teapot Dome
and corruption in government.
Some progressive leaders would see
a certain irenic justice in the nomi-
nation OF Walsh. These leaders are
firmly convinced that sinister 1nan-
cial interests are partly responsible
for injection of racial and religious
hatred into the situation. AS they
see it these interests have accom-
plished their purpose Of hepelessly
splitting the party at a time when
the party threatened 20 carry
through an economic program which
big business" does not want.

KINNEY PREDICTS
NEW ARRESTS IN
AYRES ROBBERY
Investigation in Other Cities
May Give Indemnity of
Bandit Gang.

Although no great progress ap-
peared on the surface today in in
vestigation of robbery at L. S. Ayres
& Co. store early Wednesday, Detec-
tive Inspector Jerry Kinney said sew
eral clews were being developed to
the point where more arrests could
be expected. Kinney assumed charge
of the investigation following his pro-
motion to replace John Mullin, re-
duced, Friday.
Detectives were confident investi-
cations in Chicago, Detroit, Toledo
and st. Louis would produce ciews
that would give at least the identity
of the gang of yeggs, believed to in
clude six men.
Accident Traced
Tracing an automobile collision
Tuesday evening. Motor Policeman
Chitwood and Mas said Thomas
Thompson, 81, held as one OF the
yeggmen. was not one of three men
in an automobile driven by a man
who gave his name as George Clan
ciolo, at the time of the accident. The
car bore title certificate made out to
Bertha Cianciolo, Chicago.
Thompson was arrested in an
auto behind the store when police
arrived OF a call from one IF the
night watchmen at the store. They
captured Thompson after a chase IF
two blocks. The license on the car
taken in his arrest and the one in
the accident correspond.
Police reports show hat Patrol
men Mitchell and Nayrocker fired at
a speeding auto encountered on the
Speedway Rd. early today. John
Orebaugh. 626 E. Ohio ST., told police
he was crowded to the edge of the
road by the auto in which were four
men ear Emrichsville bridge.
Liquor Robbery
Police think the. men may be the
same bandits in the Ayres job, or
men in recent filling station hold
ups.
Gaylord Herrod. 1916 Hiatt ST., told
police that d man, whom he named,
went to his home and told Mrs. Her
rod hat he had been held up and
several gallons of liquor taken from
him Mrs. Herrod denied any CON
nection on the part of her husband
with the hold-up. Later the man re-
turned with several foreigners, sup
posed to be from Chicago. Herrod
said these men are of the caIibre and
description as the yeggmen who
have been operating here recently.

Over $4,000,

Fire practically destroyed the in
1ustriaI building at the Indiana State
Farm at Putnamville early today.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 to
$4,000.
Spontaneous combustion is be-
neved to have caused the fire, which
was discovered at 3:15 a. m. by the
night Waterman. Many of the 700
prisoners housed in nearby dormi-
tories helped hold the flames in
check until the arrival of motor APP
paratus from Greencastle and Bra

was kept from spreading to the
d~ormatories.. There was no disorder.

building from farm funds for be-
tween So, 900 and SIS. 600. He stated,
however. that he would not be able
to rebuild the building.

LEADERS WOULD
PUT OFF DEBATE
= ON KHAN ISSUE
Believe Rest Over Sunday
Would Calm Nerves
Prevent Outbreaks.
BY LOWELL MELLETT
Times Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. June 2S.-The glass
skylight of Madison Square Garden
covered a rumbling, seething vol
cano today, a volcano that threat
ened to erupt at any moment and
spread the soaring lava Of religious
hatred over the Democratic party.
The resolutions committee has
found no language covering the XII
Klux Khan than does not contain
the menace of riot and ~bloodshed
when placed before the delegates for
adoption. The battle within the
| committee is no less bitter than that
anticipated on the floor, but the
committee members have hung on
to the realization that they must
avoid letting the convention pas
sions loose if they possibly can.
Nerves On Edge
The fact is nerves of delegates are
worn ragged. They have sat day
after day waiting for the issue to
come up and dreading it. Suspense
has not improved the disposition Of
any one of them. All r in a jumpy
state and it appears to be a question
simply of who shall cast the first
brick.
Some of the leaders, particularly
those who have endeavored to keep
themselves out of the Khan war.
have been quietly working TO put
the showdown over until Monday.
They believe that a Sunday Of rest
may cool the feelings Of the con-
tending factions. No worse time
could be chosen for consideration of
the disturbing issue than the dying
hours Of this hectic week when no
delegate is quite himself. A Sun
day devoted to the worship of God,
each in his own way. might bring
the delegates back into the hall Mon
day in a frame of mind that will per
nit something approaching dispas-
sionate consideration of the question.
Effect of the feeling concerning
the Khan issue upon the fight for the
presidential nomination is difficult to
tell. 1t makes more certain every
hour, Of course, that neither of the
two men leading the opposing fac
lions can be nominated. 1t puts Nc
Adoo and Smith out of the race in
the unanimous opinion of all observ-
erS.
