ceived from the insult organization.
The law makes it the duty of the commission to
investigate every violation of the public utility
statutes and regulations. The giving of rebate is
a crime The receiving of rebate is a crime.
The law makes Attorney General Giiom, who
made the grave charge, the attorney for this COM
mission and makes it his duty to prosecute crime
Certainly the prosecuting officer of the State
cannot be suspected of hurting broadcast charges
which he cannot substantiate and prove in court
of law especially he making them to q
body of which he Is the legal adviser.

a half million dollars a year by secret processes
the commission should have that fact before 1t be-
fore it endeavors to fix any value for that particular
plant.
A business founded on criminal practices
not be valued with any degree of exactness or GER
tainty. Some future public service commission might
end the crime on which it's profits are founded and
thus wreck its valuation
Certainly it is due to a great institution such
as the Indianapolis News to have chance in open
court to deny the accusation that it is under
criminal subsidy to a corporation.
1t is more important that the people have
chance to know whether they paying in padded

No company which is indulging In such practices
should have any standing In the community. No
company should be willing to rest In silence under
such charge.
The charge belongs to Mr.. GH1iom- In that
charge is his chance.
1t is his chance to vindicate the law in this
State 1t is his chance to enforce the law of which
he is custodian and guardian. 1t is his chance to
make good this charge.
Failure to act after such public declaration
would have but construction and implication.

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

For the last half of the week the
Palace has Jimmy Kernper headlin-
ing the bill with another Offering by
himself and his act.
The first part of the act is given
over to some impressions of the peo-
pie TO be found in the old family
album. Then comes some jazz by
the orchestra and several song fea-
lures by Kemper and the girl mem
Der of the company. High points
Of the act are a song by Kemper
and a song and dance by him and
the girl.
The Diehl sisters and Macdonald,
two women and a man, offer a com
edy act, with the girls doing some
good dancing and the man engaged
chiefly in trying for laughs with a
line Of stories, both new and old.
Patrick and Otto are two men
who pose as a couple of hunters who
have managed to get lost in the
woods. Some of their comedy is
worth a laugh and some not.
The Six Rockets change the order
Of things a little bit. We ordinarily
expect a gymnastic or tumbling act
to number men in it's makeup, but
here is one in which all the per
formers are women. Are clever In
some OF the things they do.
Included on the bill IL a photo
play, THE Country Beyond" news
reel and comedy.

Ignorance Of their legal rights
Is costing motorists hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars yearly and com
batting this lack OF knowledge is be-
coming increasingly the objective OF
motor clubs.
This point is made by Todd Stops,
neutrality-suspicious. Of the Hoosier
Motor Club, who declares that "the
movement among the $50 clubs af-
filiated with the American Automo-
bile Association to acquaint mem
bers with their legal rights Is not
in the interest of defeating Justice,
but rather TO see that the ends of
justice are served properly.
mo fair-minded motortst would
think of holding any brief for the
violator of the motor vehicle laws"
StoOps points out by the same
token, he would not want to see the
law unfairly interpreted against the
man who has not violated the code.
This, however, in spite of all the
campaigns against It, Is the practice
In many places
Probably In no other mtsde-
meanor case does the accused start
with as much against him. Inev1t-

ably, it seems even I'm the courts
that are entirely above all suspicion,
the whole theory OF Justice is in
verted and the motorist virtually is
considered guilty until he proves
himself innocent. Even motorists
take this attitude toward the fellow
driver who is seen by the roadside
in conversation with an officer.
This stigma of guilt seems ct
tached to the whole motoring clan,
and IT undoubtedly was born in the
habitual violation Of the law by a
few In each community who feel
free to do as they please and feel
the sin lies in getting caught
1T is long road motordom must
travel to overcome this prejudice.
Motor clubs are tackl1ng the jour
ney because they know that the gv-
erage car owner is a fair, decent,
law-abiding citizen. He has been
imposed upon 20 the extent of many
thousands OF dollars. He WIN get
fairness when he knows his rights.
Teaching him these rights IS one OF
the most popular forms OF service
rendered by clubs everywhere"

Let FaII-Doheny Verdict
Stand, but Cancel
Those Leases,

It is the law of the land that there
can be no appeal from a verdict OF
aoquittal. So let 1t be, even though
the Jury did stand six to six at the
start and It took nineteen hours to
win over those who wanted to con
vict. Let Fall and Doheny have the
benefit of the ancient adage that
men are innocent until proved
guilty. Let us assume that the
first committed no greater sin than
to pursue a mistaken policy and that
the second was inspired by sincere
il stupid, patriotism.
The Government was defrauded
conspiracy or no conspiracy, and
the leases should be broken. II the
transaction was not a crime, 1t was
a blunder, which, as Talley1ano
says, Is worse.
Advocates OF preparedness keep
telling us that we ought to build
more battleships and airplanes, but
the crying need Is for public control
OF these resources and raw materials
on which modern war has come to
depend.
National defense does not rest sc
distinctly on engines and instru
ments that are bound to become oh
solete within a generation as on an
adequate supply OF fuel, metals and
those products from which explo
sives are made.

One Time When Double Is

Edward Douglas as Krantz Puts Some
New Life in Tuneful Blossom Time
BY Walter d. Hickman

AAAN@A@A~s@AA
It Is probably due to the fun that
Edward Douglas as Kranz and the
careful characterization of John
Charles Gilbert as Franz Schubert
puts into Blossom Time" which
gives the present production a new
lease on life.
or course the melody and the sent-
ment both are present In this we'll
known musical play be led upon the
romance OF a great composer but
the cast also must be efficient both
as to voice, as to comedy and as to
drama.
With Mr.. Gilbert giving a sym
pathetic dramatic study of Schubert,
especially in the dramatic passages
in the second act and with Mr.. Doug
las giving a splendid Interpretation
of the comedy role of Kranz, things
appear pretty satisfactory with Bios
son Time" at this writing.
AS to voice, Miss Genevieve Maggie
as Mitzi was pleasing but she was
better in the more dramatic scenes
than in her light comedy work And
yet It is the voice and the personally
which puts over this role.
Fiamma Reale makes a flaming
Bellabruna and she was most cap
able when she carried most OF the
dramatic fun in the second act.
Taking in consideration that many
leaders have been seen in the roles
In Blossom Time" ii is safe to
state that Shuberts have been
mighty fair to this musical dra-
matte show.
From a scenic standpoint, "Blos-
som Time" is still beautiful and
careful attention has been given the
costumes.
Blossom, Time is still satisfactory
and tuneful entertainment.

During his reign he greatly ex-
tended the limits of Aztec dominion
but his conduct at the time OF the
Spanish invasion showed lack of
Judgment and flrmness. He per-
mitted Cortez to reach the capital
city, without opposition, receiving
him with honors and gifts, and was
seized by the Spaniards and held
as hostage. One story is that in
the ensuing attack ON their quarters
he was killed at the hands of his
own people while pleading with them
to desist; another is that he was
slain by the Spaniards.
