CILLIOM GIVES
RATE RULING
He Says Service Body Can
Control Contract.

Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney-gen-
eral, today ruled that the public
service commission has jurisdiction
in the petition for temporary
financing filed by the State Line
Generating Company, a huge In
sull production concern, with the
commission some weeks ago.
Problems dealt with in the petit
ton, such as the commissions power
to approve contracts with four other
insult companies, two in Indiana
and two in Illinois, for purchase on
a f1fty-year basis of electricity dis
tribution, are outlined in detail
Commissioner Harvey Harmon,
who laid the matter before the at
torney-general, asked whether or
not the commission would have rate
making power should the contracts
for a fifty-year period be approved
Gilliom says that they would. He
points out that the contract is for
wholesale distribution from the
generating company to four other
companies. He says the commission
could rule, in the matter of distribu-
ton in Indiana of that power pur-
chase, on what might be termed a
! retail scale.

Not only does this simple mixture
soOthe and heal the infaned throat
membranes with surprising ease, but
also it is absorbed into the blood. and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing off the cough. 1t loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
in a way that is really astonishing.

A jury was impanelled, opening
statements made and all evidence
before the jury before noon. Grim
inal Judge James A. Collins allowed

The daylight robbery occurred IL

dressed in brown" frisked Diner al
the point of two guns. Then, Diner
and Edward c. Hill, 48 South Bel

taurant, were tied and pushed into
q room in the rear of the place.

He said he was walking down a

There is no question but that
