HELPER SUES
GREAT PASHA'
Neqro Asks 1921 for Aiding
Oriental Mystic.

If 1.-THE Great Pasha" doesn't pay
Edward Turner, Negro, Oran hotel,
1921 asked in a suit filed in munich
pal court today for back salary a 81
attorneys fees, the oriental mystic
may some day find himself buried
with no one around to dig him out.
Pasha, since May 30, daily has
undergone the ordeal Of burial alive
for a stated length of time as an
entertainment feature at Broad
Ripple amusement park. AS a SIDE
line he drives automobiles through
city traffic blindfolded. He lives at
the Plaza hotel
When Pasha began his stunt at
the amusement park, Turner was
engaged at $40 a week to dig the
hole in which the performer lay in
a rough box, fill it up, and then re-
move approximately IA cubic feet
of earth to free the wizard.
When not engaged in digging,
Turner alleged, he drove Pasha's
card and acted as his valet.
Not since his digging career be-
gan, Turner said, has full pay en-
velope been forthcoming at the end
of the week.

RURAL POWER
LINES ORDERED
Service Board Requests
City Firm to Complete Job.

Norman G. Evans, president Of the
Evans Electric Company, Indian
apolis, builder of rural electric lines,
today was ordered by Commissioner
Howell Ellis of the public service
commission to complete and ener-
gize two of his lines as soon as pos
sible.
This, according to Ellis, means
within a week for the line between
Clayton and Hadley and not more
than a month for the ReelSville,
Pleasant Gardens line.
Ellis confronted him with a mass
of correspondence from customers
Of the Evans lines who had con-
tributed sums to line erections but
failed to receive service.
According to the evidence of w.
F. Lebo, commission engineer, Ev-
ans leased some old poles along the
National road for the Reelsville line
from the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, with the understanding that
he would buy them. When he
failed to pay notes on the purchase
the line was torn down by the Pos
tai linemen.
Evans contends that it had been
abandoned when the road was to
be widened.

in the future the bankers associ-
alton be apprised of parole plans.

parole matters and inviting the
bankers cooperation. He also took

He pointed out that bankers have
urged executive clemency in cases of
hijacking, murder, rape and thievery
and that even in the case of the Ha-
gerstown pair, Anderson bankers had
written urging their parole.
The parole. which has caused con-
siderable criticism in the press
throughout the state, was that OF
Carl w. Roberts and John Pritchard,
former Fl. Wayne policemen, who
robbed the Hagerstown bank OF
81 500 and were sentenced to the
Indiana state reformatory for from
ten to twenty years. They had
served less than five years when
paroled to the Fit. Wayne police chief
two weeks ago.
The parole was signed by Gaylord
Morton, assistant secretary to the
Governor. but Leslie pointed out
that he was present at the board
hearing and the secretary's sigma
ture was a mere office detail.
