Not So Hot
Stolen Car Parked for
Two Days in Circle
While Police Search.

THE worlds safest cache for
Il stolen automobiles has been
found-in IndianapoliS-on Monu-
ment circle. where police prohibit
parking longer than five minutes.
The Marmon Victoria coupe of
Harry D. Hartley was stolen from
the driveway of the home of his
friend, John Ferguson, 1902 Fall
Creek boulevard, while the two
families listened to the Ferguson
radio Tuesday night. Hartley re-
ported the theft to police. There
are few such models In Indianap-
oils and Hartley had hopes the
car soon would be found.
Wednesday morning employees
Of the Baldwin Piano Company on
the Circle saw a Marmon victoria
coupe standing in front of the
store. When no one took it away
for an hour or two they surmised
it was stolen car, and expected
police to arrive before long to take
1t away. They did not call police.
However, the car was not
touched. Policeman after police
man walked past it. Three officers
were Thoughtful enough to place
overtime parking Stickers on 1t.
The stickerS bore the names of
Officers Tyner, j. Davidson and
F. E. Ray.
The car sat there all day
Wednesday, all day Thanksgiving
and until 1920 this morning,
when an insurance man, friend of
Hartley. walked past and recog-
nized 1t. The insurance man tele-
phoned Hartley's home and q
garage crew finally took it away.
Now Hartley is wondering
whether he will have to answer
in court for overtime parking for
two and a half days and how
much fine one could be assessed
for that.

was a hopeless invalid, Alexander
Trofimoff, a Moscow workingman,
went to the nearest police station

DeSpiaring at last, he decided to

death.
Trofimoff was sentenced to five
years Imprisonment. The sentence,
however, was Immediately COM
muted to three years conditional

CONGRESS TO
PONDER RAIL
MERCER PLANS
Proposals Of Eight Years
Ago Again to Be Fore
most Legislation Issue.
BY CECIL OWEN


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Consol-
idation of the Nations railway sys-
TENS, as proposed about eight years
ago, promises again to be one or
the foremost problems before con-
gress.
The Parker bill, making it possible
for railroads to form a general mer-
ger program for submission to the
interstate commerce commission is
on the house legislative calendar for
this session. Extensive hearings
were held last winter and the bill
was reported out by the committee.
A similar senate bill by Senator
Tess, (Rep.) Ohio, still is in
committee, but hearings are ex-
pected to be concluded at this ses-
sion. Until either the Parker or
Tess bill has passed congress, all
final consolidation moves on a ma
tional scale are in allegiance.
The transportation act of 1920 au-
thorized the interstate commerce
commission, official regulator of
railroad rates and operation, to draft
a general merger plan to which in
dividual plans submitted by the
railroads must conform.
The commission never has pro-
mulgated final plan, though in
1921, 1t issued a tentative merger
program drafted by Professor w. z.
Ripley, Harvard transportation
specialist.
In its last two annual reports, the
commission has asked congress to
relieve it of the burden of drafting
a general consolidation program. It
prefers to pass on proposals sub
mitted by the roads rather than
force its own plan on the carriers.
The commissions forthcoming an
nual report is expected to repeat its
two previous communications to
this effect.
Observers have interpreted some
of the commissions recent decisions
as displaying tendency to rebuke
the large trunk lines for not rec
onciling their differences over the
decision of minor roads.
The whole merger program is I'M
derStood to be at StandStill be-
cause Of the reported inabil ty of
the important eastern carriers to
agree on disposition of smaller lines
