Indiana Bell
Wins Fight
OUe1~ Rates

Public service commissioners arc
prepared today to pass an order,
acceding to demands of the Indiana
Bell Telephone Company that they
be permitted to continue charging
$3.50 for installing telephone.
This will mean modification of
the original commission order which
would make 50 universal charge.
1t will be complete victory for B.
G. Halstead, Bell company attorney,
who argued for retention of the
present installation charge.
The new order, written by Com
missioner CALVIN Mcintosh, who
wrote the 50 order, will provide that
$3.50 be allowed to companies with
incomes of more than 100000 a
year, which means, largely, the In
diana Bell, an American Telephone
and Telegraph Company property.
Mcintosh and Chairman John w.
McCardle of the commission were
informed the day of the hearing
that in Cleveland the installation
charge is but Sis, and this is re-
funded on the first bill payment.

tragedy that must arouse the SYM
pathies of the American people, and
it is not fair that we should put

He said he would offer such a
resolution when the senate recon

The fatal ambush of eight ma
rineS was a sequel to a general flare
up CT bandit activity, it was revealed
at marine headquarters today.
Bandit casualties were repeatedly
eleven killed and four wounded.
The bandits we're said to have
been commanded by Miguel Ortiz, a
chief of the rebel Augustine

They attacked the marines while
the patrol was repairing telephone
lines two miles south of Acl1aupa, in
the department of Nueva Segovia.
The bandits, hidden in bushes,
opened a heavy fire in front of the
patrol, followed by carriages from
the right flank and the rear. Rifles
and automatic rifles took the life
Of one marine in the first volley. His
comrades dismounted hastily from
their mules and began battle that
lasted for two hours.
