insult GROUP
CLAIMS LAW
BACKS MERGER
Oral Arguments Are Begun
in $4,000 900 Utility
Grouping Scheme.

Public service commissioners
should approve the $70,000,000 In
sull utilities merger whether prop
critics involved are competitive or
noncompetitive, according to views
expressed by insult lawyers before
the commission in closing arguments
today.
The stand that the properties
are competitive and the commission
has complete jurisdiction under the
Spencer Shively act was taken by
attorney James Fesler of the insult
counsel.
In case the commission feels that
the facts do not warrant such an as
sumption, Ferdinand Winter pre-
scented the view that the commits
sion can o. K. the merger plan any
way.
In this connection he cited 1925
amendments to the utilities law,
Section 9512, and to the interurban
merger act of 1903, and general
statutes covering interpretations.
Covers All Fields
Under the 1925 amendment to the
Spencer Shively law, mergers are
made possible with consent of three
fourths of the common stockhOld-
ers, provided the others are paid off
at market value for their stock.
This does not change the same
original section which requires that
they must be like utilities and in
the same competitive field to secure
approval by commissioners to merge.
To overcome this provision,
Winter contends that the interurban
act of 1908 permitted merger of
properties that are noncOmpetitive
and also that the Central Indiana
Power Company is incorporated to
cover all utilities fields and permit
functioning in any light, heat or
power business.
Should Be Approved
He asserted that the ice business,
some of which is involved in the
merger proposal, is not public
utility and has nothing to do with
public service commission control.
Fesler built his case on the
ground that the big business of the
merged company will be to create
an electric power pool and since
this means primary similarity of
service" existing in the properties
involved it comes within commits
sion jurisdiction and should be ap-
proved.
Among the authorities cited to
uphold this view was Oscar Pond
of the opposition counsel, author
Of a book on utility law.
Harmon Is Criticised
Fesler criticised Harvey Harmon,
former commissioner and now ap-
pearing against the merger, for fl
ing a petition to dismiss because of
lack of commission jurisdiction.
He pointed out that Harmon
worked on the petition eight months
as commissioner and never ques-
toned jurisdiction of the commits
sion III that time. /
Opposition counsel will present
their oral argument this afternoon
and the case will close with filing

BUY CASE MADE TEST
Defense Counsel District
Attorney in Tilt Over
Agents Word.

Dry enforcement forces today
warded off a legal attack which
would have stopped issuance of state
court search warrants to police dry
squads to obtain evidence for use
later in federal trials
Henry Winkler. attorney for
Frank Martin, 1923 Fullenwider
street, charged with selling booze
to a federal agent, contended, in a
hearing before John Kern, United
States commissioner. that city po-
lice squads are working under the
federal prohibition administrator,
and have no authority to obtain
state warrants.
Winkler lost the move when Kern
sustained the governments obiec-
ton to Winkler's efforts, contending
police squads are under the prohi
bition administrators control.
Arrested at Home
Martin IS alleged to have sold the
liquor to the agent Feb. % and was
arrested in a raid on his home
March "a.
Martin was bound over to the
grand jury on a liquor selling charge
on $500 bond after Telford Orbi-
son, assistant district attorney,
withdrew demands for a higher
bond.
Winkler, In his assertions, referred
to activities of Sergeant William
Cox and his squad, who were with
the dry agent when he is said to
have made the buy and later aided
the agent in raiding Martins home
on a warrant issued in municipal
court.
These men are assigned to the
federal dry office" Winkler
charged. "They are taking orders
from the administrator and I don't
believe they have the right to go
into state court and get warrant
that does not meet the requirements
of the law in federal court.
whatever is found on a state
court warrant can't stand under the
federal law"

| But the fact remains that in England
enterprises like those of Birmingham
the Abbey Theater in Dublin, Miss Hor-
niman'S Theater in Manchester and
Nigel Playfair'S Lyceum Theater at

years made it possible for dramatists
who really cared for their work to make
from time to time successful appeal

Broadway has some 60 theaters. But
that there could be wit or Imagination

great competitive challenge of Broadway
season after season sees the appearance
of two or three or maybe half a dozen
plays that really spring from some con-

And these plays do succeed against all

BY JOHN DRINKWATER.

IT is now something over 20 years
since Barry jackson and myself and
two or three other friends conceived the
idea of establishing an English roper
tory theater in Birmingham. We were
then all very young and confident and
willing to put in anywhere up to 16
hours day on the job.
This sometimes meant frayed nerves
and tired brains. and it was in those
days that found a little fishing inn in
Worcestershire that was full of conso-
lations. It was there I would retire
with or from my troubles, and I have
been visiting 1t on and off ever since.
1t was there, in a community which, less
than most, has felt the touch of modern
industrialism that found most of the
material for the quiet little comedy
Bird in Hand" that is now Tending
for itself.
AS look back there seems to me to
be something fitting in this. Barry
jackson and the rest of us at Birming-
ham were never doctrinaire or high
flown in our views about the theater.
We merely believed that the drama was
an art of equal rank with painting,
Music and poetry, and that it ought to
DC JTedLeO WIFI as IuuCn TcopcCI. we
had no intention of secluding ourselves
and our work for the select and precious
audience. We were immensely eager to
go out and take possession of the great
commercial theater with a drama that
had more wit and imagination than
commonly appeared on the stage. The
ambition may have had some arrogance
in it, but it was a real one.
We have since learned that the said
great commercial theater has its own
N8aiys 70 look atten which are not ours.

Rose From the Depths

GEORGE SIDNEY is a product Of New
Yorks famed East Side. His father
was a shoemaker. and while young Sid
ney put in many hours in his fathers
little shop, he established his indepen-
dence at the age of IL when he secured
a job in a pawnshop for the glorious
salary of a dollar and a half a week.
It is about 35 years since he first
began to build his theatrical career by
occasionally appearing at Miners
Bowery Theater on amateur night"
and winning the barrel of flour or ton
of coal for his fine performance.
He made his first professional ap-
pearance one night at the Harlem Mu-
scum along with another adventurous
youth, Lou Heyman, Their act was so
well received the two teamed for several
seasons, singing songs and Sidewalk
patter" in museums and burleSque the
aterS on the Bowery and in Harlem.
With the passing of time, Sidney be-
came recognized on Broadway. He
made his first successful appearance on
the legitimate stage in Welcome
Stranger" produced by Sam H Harris.
Several stage successes followed.
Sidney was finally drawn into motion
pictures by Samuel Goldwyn, who in
-duced him to take the place of Barney
Bernard in the Potash and Perlmut-
ter" series. He made his screen debut
in 1924. His success was instantaneous
and from then on his advance in motion
pictures was rapid one.

regulate ourselves first, not begin
on our neighbor. And when we
have succeeded, right well, indeed,
may we eXclaim, Lord I thank
Thee I am not as other men are"
There really does seem a posi-
bility, if we do this, that we may
get somewhere, and with all of us
working in the same direction, we
may ultimately create a great
composite notion or idea from
which we may be able to deduce
code of ethics, morals and man
nerS, with set rules of observance,
that will admirably regulate all
lines of human conduct. And
they will be rules which we will
all gladly obey, or ought to, be-
cause they will be the perfected
judgment of world of Honest
endeavor to be good and proper.
Now it is perfectly fair for each
and all of us, at the outset, to
recognize and to give serious con-
sideration, in this business of
making the world brighter and
better and purer and more beauti-
full, to the recollection that our
perfectly natural method of con-
Quoting all reforms is to begin on
our next door neighbor and to
root out from him everything evil
we believe to exist in or around
him. But that method is not 60
ing to get us as far in our present
great work as if we start, not on
our neighbor and what he does,
but on ourselves and what we do
that may be possible of correction.
1t is always to be remembered
that there are certain exemptions
which apply to us that it would
not be wise to allow to our neigh
Dor. But the idea, indeed the
basic idea, of the present SUCCESS
ton is that we begin exclusively
with ourselves and confine our
efforts as exclusively to ourselves
until we reach that high state of
perfection at which we aim, be-
fore we present ourselves and our
ideas as a general model. This
course seems perfectly fair. It
does not in any wise conflict with
any possible notion of personal
liberty, save our own, and that,
the world will readily concede, we
have a perfect right to curtail as
we will. And even when we sub
NIT our perfected selves for the
worlds consideration, let US not
do it aggressively, nor with any
suggestion that the other fellow
must do and believe as we do. Let
us remember we are trying to
reach a general consensus of
opinion on rules and regulations
that not only will make our the
alter what it should be, but, in
deed, may help in the general ad-
.vancement of mankind in other
things. 1t is a contamination to
be yearned for, to be sought after,
to sacrifice much for. ForD then
will come, indeed, the great de-
siderata of life, a world well with
doing and a world that may even
try to purify its politics.
