Senator BarkerS Measure

Offer Remedies
for Various Conditions
in Marion County.

A bill designed to prevent Indiana
public utilities from going into Fed
eral Court for higher rates was IN
treduced in the State Senate today
by Senator Barker, Thorntown.
Both the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company and the indianapolis
Water Company have obtained
higher rates by going to the Federal
Court after the public service com
mission had refused to grant them
all they asked.
The measure provides that utilities
not satisfied with rulings of the
commission should appeal to State
courts and then if not satisfied to
the United States Supreme Court.
why Have Commission
"If we are going to have public
service commission 1t should
function as a State institution and
not be overridden by Federal
Courts" Senator Barker said.
"If utilities viii not abide by
service commissions rulings. why
have a commission"
Senator Cravens, Madison, de-
clared the bill would only make it
more difficult for appeal to the|
Federal courts, but in his opinion
would not prevent appeal.

FIGHT OVER CONVENTION
City Head Would Keep
Enemy From Presiding
at Meeting,
FIGHT OVER CONVENTION

George v. Coffin, Republican
county chairman. today seized his
opponents weapon in his fight to
gain control Of the Republican city
organization.
Coffin applied to State Supreme
Court for a writ of prohibition to
prevent Circuit Court from issuing
an injunction, on petition Of Repub-
1ican City Chairman Irving w. I.e-
maux, to keep Coffin from presiding
at the Republican city convention
Saturday.
While Coffin thus countered
Lemauxs move, Circuit Judge
Harry o. Chamberlin had the injulc-
ton suit under advisement, follow
ing arguments Wednesday after
noon.
Cue From Council Fight
Coffin took his cue from action Of
the Shank faction in city politics
last week, when supporters of Ben
H. Thompson for city council presi-
dent obtained writ OF prohibition
from Supreme Court to prevent
Superior Judge James M. Leathers
from issuing an injunction against
Thorn mpson's sitting as council 2. esi-
dent. ,Thompsons election was
contested by city council minority,
backed by Coffin, which elected"
Lloyd D. Claycombe president.
Thompson's election later was con-
ceded.

Attempts OF the defense Wednes-
day to have the case thrown out on

PARIS, Nov. 81.


III couturers are turning their
80 attention to madames back.
The extremely low-cut effects of
the newest evening gowns and the
special jeweled adornments for
'back decollete" have been much
referred to and pictured recently.
The same tendency to consider the possibil-
tiles of twisting the fashions wrong-side-to is
becoming apparent even in the outdoor
clothes. Among the photographs enclosed with
this letter is the model of one of the most strik-
ing and effective outdoor wraps, which is
secured from behind, with fur collar completely
encircling the throat and open at the back of the
neck. 1t is one of the most unusual designs of
the season.
In front it is unbroken by any opening or
fastening, falling sheer from shoulders to ankles
This gives most novel and charming effect from
the front, but the view from the rear is fully
as unusual and pleasing. 1t is held together at
the top by heavy sken, tasseled cords loosely
knotted at the back of the neck.
Aside from its novelty and attractiveness, the
fact that it has opening in front adds to its
warmth and comfort when the air is chilly or the
wind sharp. 1t is safe to predict that it will be
one of the most popular wraps on the boulevards
of Paris this year, and also in the places where
the fashionable woman goes to enjoy her out
door Winter sport
Heretofore sport clothes have played only
small part IN the wardrobe OF the Parlslenne.
But in France as in most other countries since
the war, women have been going in more and
more for active outdoor sports The designers
have recognized this and, whereas their sport
models used to be much better suited for sitting

wrapped in flames which spread with
such rapidity that the combined efforts
of fTemen from Asbu.ss Park, Neptune

not subdue them. At II O'Clock the
