ern Utilities Associates, having a
share capitalization initially author
lied of 2,0OO,0 900 shares Of common
stock of no par value and 100000

exchange and the convertible shares
carry into the combined situation
the part of the investment that rep
resents growth, thereby Offering
further chance for proportionate
share in future growth. Dividends
on all shares will be exempt from
the Massachusetts income tax.
The companies immediately in
volved are Blackstone Valley Gas

earnings of about sS.aOO,00O.
These companies have been under
the executive management OF Stone

The properties are already intercon-
hected, power requirements being
furnished in part from the same gen
Grating stations, thereby effecting
substantial saving. 1t is stated that
no banking or other commission Is
involved in the transaction, the

"The plan," he said, would en-
courage industrial development of
the midwest, which would obtain
lower transportation rates. 1t would
be of mutual benefit to the farmer
and the banker of grain-growing
states.
Hoover is thinking of the farm
question along this line, and 1 be-
lieve the midwest can sell the ter
rninal idea to him as an important
link in the broad scheme of read
justment that will bring permanent
relief to agriculture"
Should the President-elect or the
federal government reject the idea,
the Governor indicated, he will ask
the state legislature to develop it. A
full outline of the plan will be con-
tanned in his message to the legis-
lature next month.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the expense of grain storage ele-
vatorS at terminals on the Missis-
sippi and Ohio rivers and the upper
Great Lakes, will be suggested to
President-elect Herbert Hoover and
the Iowa state legislature early next
year by Governor John Hammill.
Surplus grain raised in the middle
west would be stored in the ele-
vatorS and released as it was
needed, according to the Governors
plan, thus insuring a steady supply
instead of the seasonal surplus and
the consequent glutting of the mar
ket.
Although storage at railroad ter
minals has proved successful the
Governor believes the establishment
of elevators at water terminals
would prove more valuable, espe-
cially in Hoover's eyes. Such placing
of elevators, Hammill feels, will aid
in the development of water trans

portation, which the President-elect
regards favorably.
Erection of elevators at terminals
on the Great Lakes and the inland
rivers, the Governor believes also
would be advantageous because in
times of famine or crop failure in
Europe or South America ships
could load Immediately and proceed
directly to points where the grain
was needed. 1t also would assure
farmers lower transportation costs
to seaboard ports.
Paper issued on the stored grain,
Harcmill will suggest, should be
made negotiable at federal reserve
banks.
The initial cost of the elevators,
which the Governor believes the
federal government should build,
would be repaid through storage
fees, Hammill thinks, and in time
the government would be compen-

and the double breasted coat was
open to the breeze, regardless of the
weather.
Another difference-from the
cameramen's Standpoint-is that
Mr.. Coolidge is willing to wear
clothes that make good pictures, anu
Mr.. Hoover isn't. For instance, when
Mr.. Coolidge goes fishing he gets
in fishermen's togs, when he goes
trapshooting he dresses as a trap
shooter should dress.
But with Mr.. Hoover, regardless
of the occasion, it's nearly always
the Slouch hat and the double
breasted coat. Once, in the west
last summer, the boys got a picture
of him in fishing togs-and half of
them wanted to frame it, right then
and there.

BY WAR BRIDE
Lies Ill on Hospital Cot;
Killed Husband.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Mar
lyse Maye lies on a cot in the prison
ward at Fordham hospital today,
facing sentence Monday for the
killing of Andrew Devola, her lover.
Mrs. Maye, a French war bride,
was convicted of manslaughter by
a jury in Bronx county court Thurs
day. Ever since the trial started
on Nov. 80, Mrs. Maye has been
subject to spells of hysteria. She
was shot beneath the heart at the
time Devola was killed.
The prosecution contended in the
trial that Mrs. Maye killed Devola
because he had threatened to leave
her, and then attempted suicide.

NEWS PICTURE
HOUNDS SORRY
TO SEE CAL co
Hoover Is Not Nearly So
Good Subject for
Photographers.
BY ALLENE SUMNER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA lot of
people in Washington are going to
regret the departure Of President
Coolidge from the White House next
March 4, but none will regret it
more than the capitals small army
of newspaper and movie reel photo
graphers.
For Coolidge is regarded by them
as one of the best of tsubjects"
while they think President-eIect
Hoover is about the worst.
Mr.. Coolidge doesn't mind being
photographed; Mr.. Hoover does. Mr..
Coolidge is willing to pose in almost
any way requested; Mr.. Hoover isn't,
Photographers Like Cal
One learns lot about big men
from the fellows whose job it is
to photograph them on all sort of
occasions and under all kinds of
conditions and circumstances. They
come to know them well.
yeah, Coolidge is okeh," one of
the picture hounds will tell you. "He
always sees to it that every one of
us gets our pictures. Some times
several of the boys are late and
they'll come running up just after
the pose is finished. The President
will wait for them and do the hand
shaking stuff all over again. He
never leaves but what he turns
around and smiles: We'll, boys-got
all you want?'"
But Hoover's entirely different,
according to these fellows. They
have known him as food adminis-
traitor, secretary of commerce, flood
relief director and many of them
were with him in Belgium. And
they call him the hardest man in
Washington to photograph.
Complain About Hoover
An outstanding complaint seems
to be that Mr.. Hoover, when being
photographed, dislikes to remove his
hat, always prefers to look the lens
full in the face and utterly refuses
to button his famous double
breasted coats.

Arab Runner Is Hope

PARIS.-The French had to go ia

the foreign legion, to find their best
bet for the Olympic long-distance
races. their hope in the marathon.
He is Behir Beddari, a wiry little
Arab, who has won three of the five
races he has competed in since his
arrival in France. The Arab won
three of the five races of over 20
kilometers.
Beddari can run all day, but he
seems to lack the faculty Of sprinting
at a given moment. He finishes his
races at the same speed as at the
start and his first mile is never any
faster than his 18th or goth.
He was a dispatch bearer with the

May, 1926. Many times Beddarf
