Switzerland"

~Giorious Switzerland".-a request
travelogue from last Winters series
was presented by Burton Holmes at
the National Theater yesterday after
noon, and was one of the most sue
ce ssful of the 80 years OF the leo

The playground of Europe pre-
Iuded by giimpses of Basel on the
Rhine, and of Geneva, which includ-
ed a luncheon with leaders of the
League of Nations, the way led to Ter

their bobbins with the experience of
experts at the trade.
"Trolleying up to Gloryland." to the
Jungfrau-joch station, where q large
hotel is being built 1900 feet above
sea level, the lecturer described and
pictured the white world above the
everyday earth and illustrated the
difficulties OF a camera man in catch

fT1HE Public Service Commission is refus-
ing to make public its findings in its in
vestigation of the tragic collision on the Union
Traction lines near Fortville Feb 2, in which
nearly a score of persons lost their lives.

to the company. Presumably the order con-
tains conclusions as to the cause of the wreck
and recommendations resulting from the in

Union Traction Company.
1t knows that the company has admitted
its block signals were not working, that orders
were relayed from one crew to another, that
motion picture films were carried on one of the
cars in the wreck.
1t knows passenger testified he was told
a fire extinguisher ON one of the cars would not

Has the Public Service Commission ordered
the company to keep its block signals in order?
Has it ordered the company to provide sufficient

thing about the hours during which train
crew may work? Has it made any recommends

about motion picture films on passenger cars?
Members of the commission are refusing to

Does the commission intend to enforce its
orders if it has issued any orders and how will
the public know whether the orders have been
obeyed?

1t was explained that if a McAdoo
petition is filed. the Ralston petition
will be filed, but that if McAdoo does
not file Ralston will not file.
Petitions Due Friday
Petitions of candidates for president
must be in the hands Of the secretary
IF State on or before next Friday.
Friends of Ralston in Indiana had
believed that McAdoo would not come
into Indiana because Of the "favorite
son" movement for Ralston.
1t was said the petitions in behalf
of the Indiana Senator were being
circulated without consulting him.
Movement Started in 1922
The movement to make Ralston a
candidate for President started shortly
after his election in 1922 whel he de
feated Albert J. Beveridge for Senator
Ralston has repeatedly stated that
he is not seeking the nomination He
has made it plain, however. that the
movement in his behalf is not OBJ
jectionabie to him.
President Coolidge and Hiram john
son will file in the Republican prl-
maries. McAdoo has filed petitions in
a number of other States.
