I'm view of the suits and counter
suits that have been filed it is ap-
parent to all that there is no chance
of mediation. The fight seems to
be one TO the bitter end, and it has
become a matter for the courts and
not for business organizations,
George II. 'Mosser, managing direc-
tor, said
The chamber had extended invita-
tons to mayors of more than sixty
cities and representatives OF the In
diana Bell Telephone Company and

it's meeting today in an effort to set
tie the question amicably.
Entire Staff on Job
The entire staff of utility experts
of the commission probably will be
used to gather information for the
hearing, which opens July 16. In
this the commission will have the
cooperation of the Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce, which will
gather information from Indianapo-
lis business firms as to the working
of measured service in actual use.
Possibility of consolidation of
telephone rate cases OF several
States on an appeal to United States
Supreme Court, suggested in a let
ter received by Taylor e. Groninger,
corporation counsel, from Gerald j.
Wagner of Grand Rapids, Mich, a
utility consultant. He suggested
consolidation of the Indiana and
Michigan cases. Several other States
are said to be In the same boat with
Indiana as far as the telephone sit
uation is concerned. Among these
are New York, Ohio and Tennessee.
Evansville may carry on an in
dependent fight against the rate in

the rest of the State. According to

The Colorado statesman., 1924-02-16

President Coolidge has promised an
inquiry by the War Department into
the cases of the fifty-four men of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, still impris-
oned in Leavenworth penitentiary for
their alleged share in the Houston
riot of 1917.
President Coolidge made this prom
ise in the presence of a delegation rep
resenting the colored people of the
country, after James Weldon Johnson,
secretary of the National Association
for the Advancement of ColOred Peo-
pie, at noon on February Z, presented
the petition signed by 10000 names,
asking for executive clemency for the
men.
The President listened attentively to
Mr.. Johnson's address presenting the
petition, and replied cordially to it and
to the delegation of representative col
ored citizens who had come to Wash
ington for the occasion.
The President declared he would re-
fer the cases to the War Department,
and if he was empowered to take any
action in behalf of the men, he would
do so.
After the interview with President
Coolidge in the White House office
building, Mr.. johnson called upon Sen
ator Arthur Capper of Kansas and
Representative Martin Madden, chair
man of the committee on approprfa-
tions of the House of Representatives,
and both these congressman promised
they would add their voices to those
asking favorable action by the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Monroe TrOtter, secretary of the
Equal Rights League, headed a dele
CATION of five representing that body
and spoke eloquently in behalf of the
imprisoned men. Mr.. Trotter sub
mitted to the President letters and
resolutions from senators and CON
gressmen, urging pardon for the Hous-
ton martyrs.
Mr.. johnson, in commenting upon
the work which eliminated in the pre-
sentatiOn of the petition TO President
Coolidge, said:
February I, 1924, was an epoch
making day, a day on which not only
a great effort was made for justice to
the Houston martyrs, but day which
marks the greatest actual piece of CO.
operation yet achieved by the various
race agencies"

Washington, d. c., Feb. 10, 1924
Carrying a total appropriation of
1866, 900 for Howard University, an in
crease of S707, 800 over the amount as
passed by the House of Representa-
tives, the Interior Department appro-
priation bill was reported favorably
to the Senate Saturday, Feb. 8, from
the U. S. Senate Committee on Appro-
priations.
The additions made in the bill for
Howard University cover the S2O7,5OO
for maintenance and equipment strick-
en- from the bill in, the House onze-
point of order and also $500,000 for ad-
ditions to the Medical School of the
University.
Senator Phipps of Colorado, mem
ber of the subcommittee which ham
died the bill and also chairman of the
subcommittee which handles the Dis
trict appropriation bill, was largely in
strumental in bringing about the in
clusion in the bill of the S5O0,OOO for
the Medical School.
Item Is Restored
He also supported the restoration to
the bill of the S2O7, 800 for the main
tenance and equipment of the univer-
sity which had been stricken out of
the bill in the House on point of or
der raised by Representative Byrnes of
South Carolina.
During the consideration of the bill
in subcommittee, the president of the
university, DIR. ]. Stanley Durkee, and
DR.. Emmett ]. Scott, secretary-treas-
urer declared that the work of the
university would be seriously handi-
capped if these appropriations are not
allowed.
Howard University is one of the two
universities for colored students which
give degrees in medicine. The great
need of more and better trained col
ored practitioners was pointed out to
the committee as an argument for the
S5OOOOO to be used for additions to
the Medical School. OF this amount
S370.OO0 is to be used for additional
buildings and $13O,OOO for equipment.
The Senate committee also added
$4,000 to the items for Freedmen's
Hospital for salaries, etc. The total
recommended for Freedmen's Hospital
is S174700
