RULING ON APPEALS
TO BE MADE TODAY
Decision of Public Service Commits
sion Hangs in Balance.

Circuit Judge Harry o. Chamber
lin announced that he will hear
arguments this afternoon before rul-
ing on motions involving constitu-
tionality and jurisdiction of the
Nejdll utilities regulation law. The
law was passed by the 1927 Legis-
lature and provides for court ap-
peals from public service commits
sion decisions.
The case is that of the Associated
Telephone Company to purchas the
Walkerton, North Liberty and other
companies in northern Indiana.
Petition to purchase and sell was
denied by the public service COM
mission on the grounds that not
only citizens but persons interested
in the small phone companies OBJ
jected. Appeal was taken to Ma
rion County Circuit Court.
Motion to dismiss was filed by the
Stark County and Napanee tele-
phone companies on the grounds
that the Nejdl law requires that
appeals be taken to counties in
volved and also that it was uncon-
Stitutional.

or Booze Here.
With the capture Wednesday
night of three alleged rum runners,
one of whom was shot in the right
leg by Sheriff Omer Hawkins and
deputies when he tried to escape,
county authorities today believe
they have stopped one source of
liquor.
Roland Stewart, %, of 1923 Boule-

cargo, is in city hospital, and Frank
Wernsing, %, of 1913 N. Emerson

of transporting liquor.
The sheriff and his deputies came
upon the car in the eastern part of
the county, about five miles from
the city. After they had forced the
car to the curb, the three men got
out and ran. Stewart attempted
to escape in a cornf1eld and a bullet
halted him. The other two men
surrendered after running a few
feet.
The men admitted that they had
been bringing liquor to the city
from Detroit, and Stewart said he
had brought some liquor by air
plane recently, landing in a field

MOORE TO Give
UP REGULATION
OF CITY FIGHTS
Boxing Commissioner Is
Disguised With Job; Plan
New Officials.

His term hardly begun, City Box
ing Commission Chairman Boynton
]. Moore is ready to give up the job
of trying to regulate the fistic sport
in Indianapolis.
I'm disguised with the job" said
Moore, who was named by City
Council President Otis E. Bartholo-
NEW only last week. The athletic
committee of the council serves as
the boxing commission.
This job of regulating boxing has
been thankless task from the start
anyway, the commission president
indicated, disclosing that the straw
that has broken the camel'S back
was the fact that no way has been
found to exercise any control over
the American Legion bouts held at
the Armory.
Legion Fails to Pay Fee
The commission charges a fee OF
per cent of the gate receipts for
each boxing and wrestling show
permit.
The Legion never has paid this
and it has, in effect, just dared the
city to try and callect it.
The Legion points out that its
shows are for the purpose of rails
ing money to retire an old Ma
rion County Legion debt, that the
shows are on State property, per-
haps upon Federal property, since
the National Guard Ar1nory is part
of the Federal reserve system and
the city has no power to interfere.
Moore Will Resign
Moore said the city loses around
$4,000 a year through failure to tax
the Legion shows. Legion leaders
said they wished they were making
that much money.
Declaring he would resign from
the boxing job next week, Moore
joined Councilman Walter Dorset
in proposing a new scheme of regu-
lation-a boxing commission COM
posed Of sport writer's from the three
daily newspapers and two outstand-
ing citizens. Dorsett said he would
introduce an ordinance calling for
this.

JACKSON GUSTS
HOSPITAL COAL
REVOLT LEADER
Paul G. Davis Succeeded by
Edwin D. DonneII, City
Democrat.

On the eve of another possible
clash between the joint State
purchasing board and the trustees
of the Central State Hospital, Gov
ernor jackson today announced re-
moval from the hospital board of
Paul G.. Davis, Indianapolis attor-
ney and leader in the trustees re-
cent skir1nish in which they were
partly victorious.
Davis is succeeded by Edwin D.
Donnell, Indianapolis, Democrat.
Several weeks ago the Gen.
trail Hospital trustees charged
that the purchasing board, of which
Daily Mccoy, campaign manager for
Governor Jackson is secretary, was
providing them with coal so rotten
that it did $50 a day damage" to
heating equipment at the w. Wash
ington st. hospital
Rejected by Hospital
Much of the coal sent the hos
pital by the Rolf Coal Company of
FIT. Wayne, who held the contract
to supply all State institutions, was
rejected by the Central Hospital,
and during November the hospital
here bought its coal from the Ogle
Coal Company for SAL less for the
month than the State board was
paying the Rolf Company, Davis de-
clared at that time.
4
trustees at the December meeting
of the purchasing board at which
the purchasing board finally agreed.
The trustees demanded the Rolf
contract be Cancelled as far as the
Central Hospital is concerned, and
that Ogle coal be purchased. Davis
represented the trustees at the
stormy session Of the purchasing
board at which the Rolf contract
was cancelled as concerning the
Central HOSPITAL, but left in effect as
regard all other institutions.
Cancels Coal Contract
A new contract for Central Hos
pital coal would be let at their
meeting this month, but the State
board refused to capitulate so far
as to heed the request that Ogle
coal be bought.
At a meeting Wednesday, the
trustees drew up a letter to the
purchasing board thanking the
board for canceling the Rolf con-
tract and declaring that coal sent
since canceling of the contract had
been far superior to the Rolf coal,
but not as fitted as the Ogle for
burning in the hospital.
Davis, the purchasing board was
informed, would be the trustees
representative at the board session
later this month, at which the hos
pital coal contract will be let.
No Comment on Removal
Jackson's announcement of the
appointment Of Davis successor fol-
lowed.
Davis also was to lead a discus
sion at a session of trustees and
heads of all State institutions at the
Central Hospital here Jan. 81 on the
subject:
"Are the interests of the State
| justly served by the continuation OF
the joint purchasing board?"
Davis refused to discuss his re-
moval by Jackson.
