United States naval authorities were
1vised today by officials of the Diaz
Pvernment, recognized by the
nited States, that Liberal forces
buld continue fighting in spite of
e landing OF Am erican Marines.
Liberal leaders, recognized by
exico, were quoted by Diaz officials
saying they had 500 armed men
h prenched at Telica, near Leon, and
4ditional forces moving up the Rio
Grande River near San Pedro Del
Norte on their way to attack Mata-
galpa and other interior cities.
Other Liberal leaders were quoted
by the same officials as being in a
conciliatory mood and favoring the
establishment of peace.
The Diaz government last night
reported sighting strange craft off
TamarindoI signaling to persons
ashore. The government believed the

COMPROMISE ON UTILITY
MERGER CAPITALIZATION
IS REJECTED BY CLARKE
Chicago Magnate Refused to Go Ahead on $40000,000
Valuation Proposed at Committee Meeting
of Chamber of Commerce.

Harley L. Clarke, Chicago utility
magnate seeking to merger the In
dianapolis Light & Heat Company
and Merchants Heat & Light Com
pany, refused to consider comprom-
ise valuation for the proposed merger
at a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce merger committee Wednesday,
it was learned today.
Clarke, who conferred with the
committee here, defiantly insisted
on the proposed $55,O00,0 900 cap
italization figure, in the face of
the efforts Of numerous DIRECTORS
banded together in civic clubs and
organizations in addition to the
Chamber committee to effect com
promise. The latter committee,
which is leading the fight of the OBJ
jectors to the valuation Of the
merger, had tentatively agreed on a
valuation of about S40,000,000, ii
was learned.
The offer of this compromise was
fatty turned down by the Chicago
power promoter. Clarke made no
efforts to moderate his original fig
ure, it is understood.
Refused BY Rucker
It was expected that Clarke would
agree to a proposal similar to that
made by Fred c. Gardner, secretary
treasurer of e. C. Atkins & Com
pany, Monday, to Alvah j. Rucker
city corporation counsel, recon-
mending that a compromise OF
$44, 900, 900 be agreed upon, with the
assurance of reduced power rates as
a result Of the proposed merger.

ton, maintains his intention to carry

AK SLAYER
HUNTED BY
DETECTIVES
Only Meager CleWS to Man
Who Slew Collector in
p Dark Alley.

With only the meagerest of clews,
Detective Inspector Claude M. Wor.
ley, sent several squads of detectives
into the Negro districts today, In
hopes of uncovering some evidence
that will lead to the solution of the
brutal murder of Dahlman De Bolt,
so, of 1884 f. Vermont ST., collector
for the Empire Insurance Company.
De Bolt, his skull crushed, ap-
parently by two blows from an ak
was found at Darnell ST., 100 feet
east of Missouri St, by pedestrians
at 5:45 p. m. Wednesday. He died a
few hours later at city hospital.
Youth Sees Killer
A 14-year-old Negro youth, Arthur
Baker, 357 Darnel ST., supplied what
information Lieut.. George Winlller
and Detectives Barnaby and De Ros-
settle had today. 1t was that he, en-
route to a grocery, saw a man lying
on the ground with another man
standing over him rifiing his pockets.
On his trip home the boy said he
saw the man run from the spot. He
was unable to tell the race Of the
man who fled, but said he was tall
and wore a dark overcoat and hat.
Police found an AK near the body
with human hair on the blade and
the handle broken. The hair cor
responded to that of De Bolt.
Police hold the robbery theory. in
spite Of the fact that $500 was
found in De Bolts overcoat pocket.
They say he no doubt had a larger
sum consisting of bills Of larger de-
nominations in his inner pockets.
Talked to Victim
George F. Brandt, 1t4A e. Ohio
St., collector for another insurance
company told police he talked to
De Bolt, a block from the scene
twenty minutes before.
De Bolt has a wife, but had no
children, according to J. NJ. Drake,
secretary Of the Empire Company.
He had been employed by that COM
pany for four months, during which
time he did splendid work and seemed
to be well liked by his customers.
Drake said. Drake stated that De
Bolts Wednesday collection proba-
bly, would reach $50 to $50. He was
making collections when killed.

Chapter Three-COntinued

For a moment Sonia longed to
throw herself into those loving arms
and sob out her misgivings. But
the old habit of secrecy was too
strong to break. She would not dis
tress her mother with her mag
mary grievances Afterwards
she was glad, for Anna came away
from her examination, plainly mis-
cradle. Don had told her she must
go on a prescribed diet and be very
careful for months. He dared not
mince matters with this quiet wo-
man, who would scorn any doctors
advice unless she realized it was
matter of life or death.
But with characteristic unselfish-
ness she refused to discuss her own
ailments.
Sonia" she said as soon as they
had reached home. Something is
the. matter with DON"
Sonia's heart sank. Was his de-
preston so marked that an outsider
could notice it?
What do you mean?"
HE isn't well! announced Anna,
decidedly. His face is too thin and
there are deep circles under his eyes.
He admitted that he hasn't been
sleeping ="
Sonia realized with a forlorn pang
that this was more than he had con-
fided to her. But the words put a
new idea into her mind. Perhaps
Don's trouble was purely physical
Perhaps it had nothing to do with
her. Illness of the body was SC
much more tangible than sickness
Of the soul. If that were it she
would force him to stop work and
take a vacation.
The night, after her mother left
found her prepared to force the is
sue. She accused him, openly.
Don Saltwater, something's the
matter with you"
He grinned. What do you mean
little everlasting brewer of some
thing else to worry about?"
II mean you are not we'll Even
Mother noticed it. Now, darling, II
you're tired. You're a doc
tor. You ought to know enough tc
stop before you reach the breaking
point. :"
He was watching her curiously
Her eyes were full of tears.
"I can't have you getting sick
Don. Won't you please take care
of yourself?"
What makes you think I'm mott
I'm all right. Never felt better in
my life"
The note Of irritation in his voice
was new.
you aren't sleeping. You look SC
tired.Y
He opened a book and began to
read. The grim lines settled deeper
upon his face.
Don't disturb yourself about it.
Sonia"
AS she lay awake waiting for him
to come to bed, she resolved to con.
suit Robert Wallace. If Don were
going to be stubborn, as sick people
often were, she would go over his
head.
Bob would know. He was with
her husband, constantly. II he pre-.

friends, Dunninger, mind reader and

show at Keith's, will appear and do

granted by Showalter and Brown Of

the case. The verdict will probably
come tomorrow.
Then a three-mile automobile ride
for Bobby Franks slayers will fol-

outer offices of the prison. Babe"

clothes, bought especially for this
occasion. A drab blue suit, heavy
prison shoes, a regulation prison
cap, will take their place.
And Loeb and Leopold will walk
through two iron gates that as they
cIang shut a few minutes later, will
mark the end of another colorful
event in the colorful lives of these
two young men and the beginning OF
another period of oblivion-a period
fixed by the Chicago courts at Life

Do They
Read the
Want Ads?

Judging from the remarks of
people calling at The Times Of
flee to obtain a box Of Nancy
Hart candy, nearly every one
in Indianapolis is reading The
Times Want Ads, looking for
their name.
Mrs. II. H. Fulmer, 937 Eng
lish Ave-, said that over fifteen
friends called her and told her
that they had seen her name.
Another women had over
twenty-five friends call her.
The Times is publishing and
printing the names and adj
dresses of twenty-five Indian
apolis persons daily, in the
Want Ads. The names are
picked at random from the tele-
phone book, and are scattered
through the Want Ads. Persons
finding their names and calling
at The Times Office are given a
box of delicious Nancy Hart
candy.
Twenty-Five names are pub
lished tonight, twenty-five
others will appear tomorrow
and so on each day.

on the fight against the merger.
The Chamber of Commerce COM.
rnittee, disheartened with Clarkes
refusal, considers further efforts
toward compromise futile, 1t was
reported. No future meetings have
been scheduled at the present time, it
was said.
Other organizations, however. are
determined to carry on the fight
against a compromise for any figure
higher than the $50, 900, 900 valuation
placed upon te utilities properties by
Earl Carter, chief engineer Of the
public service commission.
A. Leroy Portteus, president of
the Indianapolis Federation of Com
munity Clubs, stated that organiza-
ton would continue to fight the mer-
ger even If a compromise capitalize
ton was agreed on.
To Buy Anyway
Following action of the public
service commission in continuing
until Jan. 81 the hearing on the mer-
ger petition before the committee,
Clarke declared he would abandon
his merger plans, but woul5 COM
plete purchase Of the two companies
and operate them separately.
Since. 1t has been learned, Clarke
planned to hold the ownership Of
the two companies through the In
dianapolis Light and Power Corpor-
alton, a Delaware holding company
which now owns the Indianapolis
Light and Heat Company stock
This would mean a merger of the
two companies for all practical pur-
| poses, 1t is said.

she had voiced her unqualified aver
sion for everything Chinese. Then
why?
The maid slipped in to inquire
about dinner. She answered, feeling
that after lunch she had forced
herself to swallow, she would never
care to eat again.
The maid was sympathetic.
Mrs. Saltwater looked tired. Did
she wish tea?
Sonia replied, almost petulantly,
that Mrs. Saltwater did not wish
tea If she would only leave
her alone, which, eventually, she
did.
Her mind turned, painfully, to an.
other solution. Perhaps Elaine had
asked Don to meet her for lunch.
So that she might, figuratively
speaking, weep on his shoulder
again. But if it was only Elain'e s
unhappiness which they discussed,
why should Don be so depressed
afterwards. At last, in a frenzy Of
indecision, she decided to stop think
ing about it. Time would tell. If
Don explained to her, we'll and good.
For some reason she doubted If he
would explain. His reticence over
Elaine's visit at the Office which was
mot professional" gave her little
hope for proffered information ABOUT
this.
With characteristic determination
Sonia threw back her head and
swore she would never ask him. She
would meet his reserve with q sill
ence, equally battling.
And never" she said, proudly,
will 1 doubt my sweet Dom"
After all he had done for her it
would seem base treason. Fortified
by this resolution she floated to the
telephone and called him.
IF / go swimming will you wait
for me to come and ride home with
your"
His reply was as cheerfully pleas
ant as always. No moreno less!
Sonia had her swim. She came
out, thrilled and invigorated. Firm
in her determination to be a good
sport and play the game.
AS she entered the building where
Don had his office, she ran into a
figure which seemed vaguely famil-
lar. Sonia had avoided the real
estate office. She had almost forgot
ten some of the girls she used to
know. But as she saw the other
girls face she recognized jimmy.
She could not remember ever hav-
ing heard her other name.
Sonia! By all that's holy! How
are you, old thing?"
How are you, jimmy? How's
every one at the Officer"
Stepping right along" jimmy an
swered, pertly. Even old Jeddie
is still able to sit up and take
notice." She stopped, laughingly.
"Oh, 1 had forgotten you married
his nephew. But 1 can't imagine
you being anybody's wife"
Sonia smiled.
LAS a matter Of fact I am very
much married"
jimmy took in every detail of
Sonia's costume, from hat to shoes.
Lucky little devil" she MUIR
INJURED, appreciatively.
For some reason the unexpected
contact amused Sonia. She had al
ways been more interested in jimmy
than in the other girls. jimmy had
been so quietly mysterious. On the
impulse Of the moment, she said,
IF 1 ask you to go to lunch with
me some day. will you accept?"
And unlike Elaine, who after all
was Don's friend more than hers
jimmy did not refuse.

friends. Read tOmOrrOw's install
