ASK USERS OF
RADIO TO BACK
PLEA OF WFBM
U. S. Commission Requests
Evidence of Desire for
Increased Power.

Radio users all over Indiana are
expected to respond to the an
nouncement that the Federal radio
commission wishes additional evil
dence of the desire of the people of
the State for better and higher
powered radio broadcasting station.
The commissions request has been
made in connection with the appli-
cation of station WFBM, Indian
apolis Power and Light Company,
for a permit to increase its power
and to have more favorable fire.
quency than was allotted to it by the
commission.
Interest in the case was height
ened by the announcement that it
is contemplated to increase the
stations power to 5000 watts, if the
commission wishes that done.
May Increase Power
The present plan is for an increase
from $50 to 1000 watts, but Norman
A. Perry, president of the company,
said the further increase will be
made If advisable. This would put
WFBM equal in sending power to all
except three of big stations in the
country. Those three are WIZ, New
York; WGY, Schenectady, and
KDKA. Pittsburgh.
Indiana is entitled to a proper
representation in the radio broad
casting field, which it does not now
have" said Perry.
Eightful Place in Air
Here is an opportunity for the
State to obtain its rightful place in
the air, and in view of the COM
paratively small number of favor
able frequencies available under the
rules of the commission the op-
portunity might not come again.
1.-THE Indianapolis Power and
Light Company is planning to build
station which will be real asset
to Indiana, in power, and in the
quality of The programs it will Of
fer. It will continue to be a good
will station, not operated for profit"
Ask Fans to Write
In order to make it clear to the
commission that the people of In
diana are awake to the need for a
powerful broadcasting station, it
has been suggested that letters be
written by all radio users interested,
setting out their opinions on the
situation and the value it would
be to the State. These letters
should be sent either to Station
WFBM, Indianapolis Power and
Light Company, or direct to the
commission.
Letters to the station should be
received not later than next Mon
day, as time for submitting them
to the commission is short.

In the Cotton Market
fRy Thomson 3 McKinnonl

NEW YORK Aug. l2-The cotton mar
ket was a quiet AFFAIR today in comparison
with Thursday. There vas no real i'm
provement in the weather. but the impress
sion still prevailed that something of the
kind is imminent. In the absence of
much support prices receded at times un-
der the Influence of southern selling In the
cember closed the gap in the market
caused by the advance following publica-
tion of Mondays estimate. The general
action to about % cents FOR october would
be about the proper correction for what
they cnosider an over-bought market. For
our own part we see no weakness in the
technical position. We believe the trade
is gradually abandoning its skeptical atti-
tude towards the late estimate of the Gov
eminent and this Is particularly true in
England and on the continent.

someone supposed to have pilfered
them. Although this sort of esplon-
age presumably is practiced through
out the world, it's discovery during a
period of strained international rela-
tions might have been expected to call
forth a shout of holy horror at such
immoral practices.
On the contrary, it is generally un-
derstood that relations between the
two nations are sweet and peaceful
compared with what they were a
couple of months ago, and it is even
added that the discovery of the for
geries or whatever they were has
brought a new understanding and a
certain sympathy where little but dis
cord had previously existed.
Reports of what happened are SO
vague and conflicting, however, that
the whole atmosphere is foggy. This
same fogginess enables numerous per-
sons here to suggest that if the docu-
ments in question really did prove an
unfriendly attitude toward Mexico or
an unseemly interest in revolutionary
activities, Mexico might have been able
to play them as trump cards.

WASHINGTON. - One of these days
W the telegraph wires may tell us Of
the arrest of the Williams who are said
to have filched and altered certain i'm
portant documents of state with
view to fomenting serious trouble be-
tween the United States and Mexico
The most unfortunate phase OF the
mystery is that although there have
been all kinds of indications to con-
vince one that certain papers passing
from the state department to the
American embassy in Mexico City fell
into the hands of President Gales,
there have been nothing but uncon-
firmed rumors, dark and deep, to show
that the papers had been tampered
with to the point of alteration or
forgery.
A definite declaration from the state
department might clarity this situa-
ton but it hasn't been forthcoming.
1t may or may not be significant
that there has been no condemnation
of the Mexican government because 1T
