DOG RESCUES BABY
Pulls 15-MonthS -0Id Child
From Tub of Water.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Fifteen-
months-old Howard Jensen was
tucked safe in his crib today and
by his side Arko, a great tawny
German police dog, lay happily.
A few hours before Howard and
Arko had been playing alone in the
basement of Towards grandmother
home. Howard isn't quite steady on
his legs yet.
In one corner of the room stood
a large tub of water. AS Arko
watched, his little master toddled to
the tub. Somehow the child fell in.
Generations of training bred in
Arko'S blood asserted themselves.
The great dog plunged into the wa
ter. He grabbed the boys cloth
ing in his teeth and pulled him out.
The dogs barking brought the
grandmother, Mrs. Anna Berkson,
to the room. Howard was uncon-
scious, but alive. A fire department
rescue squad revived him after fif-
teen minutes.

IF we didn't think our teachers
are honest, we wouldn't hire them, -
said Paul c. Stetson, superintendent
of schools, Thursday, in reply to
charges made by Philip zoercher,
state tax commissioner, that Indi-
annapolis teachers take sick leave to
visit Brown county.
Il believe Zoercher is taking bit
more on his shoulders than he can
handle, when he says the teachers
are dishonest"
A. B. Good, business director of
the schools, pointed out that zoer-
cher, in his statement Thursday
compared Indianapolis teaching
costs with those of much smaller
cities"
Twelfth in Costs
Among thirteen cities of ap-
proximately Indianapolis size" he
said, "tnis city ranks twelfth in
teaching costs.
However, if Zoercher wants com
parsons with cities in Indiana, our
figures show that Indianapolis in
struction for each high school pupil
costs $114.51 yearly. In Tell City,
his home town, the same costs are
$142,47."
zoercher gave Indianapolis high
school instruction costs as $117.56
for each pupil.

Good pointed out that while In
dianapolis had the highest high
school instruction costs of any of
the cities named by Zoercher, the

THERM HEARING
DEVELOPS INTO
HEATED FIGHT
Sincerity of Opposition to
Gas Unit Challenged by
insult Chief.

Fate of the therm system of gas
billing will be decided soon, it was
announced today by Commissioner
howell Ellis, who has conducted the
hearings before the public service
commission. The ruling on the
therm method, which would replace
Cne cubic-foot system, would affect
consumers in seventy-eight cities
and towns.
Before the decision, however, the
insult interests will file a brief sup
porting their contention that therm,
Is the best heat unit for buying gas.
AT the close of the hearing in the
senate chamber Thursday after
noon, the therm discussion provided
considerable heat.
Robert M. Feustel, Indiana insult
chleftain, was on the witness stand.
He took issue with everybody on the
other side.
First he challenged the Evansville
findings of William j. Gunther,
commission expert witness, and
then the sincerity of the attack on
the therm from Newcastle. The
latter was backed by the city at
torney and State Senator Walter
S. Chambers, Newcastle publisher.
Feustel said that he was sur
prised that Gunther testified that
the Southern Indiana Gas and
Electric Company officials were sat
isfled to retain the cubic foot sys-
tenn of billing after they had
switched from the low B. T. U. ar
tiflcial gas to the highest heat unit
natural gas.
Watched 1t Closely
II have watched the Evansville
situation very closely" Feustel as
serted. "The officials of the COM
pany there have told me that they
made a serious mistake when they
did not apply for the heat unit
rate"
Castigating the Newcastle oppo-
sion, Fenstel charged that it was
artificial and spread among the
citizenry by G. M. Dewitt, New
castle city attorney, and Chambers
newspaper.
He had offered a II per cent re-
duction in rates when natural gas
was introduced there and the offer
had been spurned, he declared. He
also contended that if it were not
for the low-cost natural gas pro-
vided, the Chrysler plant would not
be able to keep in operation at
Newcastle.
De Witt and Chambers both were
present. The former pointed out
that six years ago Newcastle got
natural gas piped from Muncie at
60 cents for $1,000 cubic feet and
that the insult price is $2.4O per
1000.
Price Scaled Down
Feustel said that this price scaled
down after the first 500 cubic feet.
He refused to answer a series of
De Wits questions on the ground
that they were not predicated on
fact. The questions we're read into
the record.
Upon the record, the Ellis order
will be written. 1t is being predicted
that it will mean turning down of
the therm. or at~least making it an
optional method of gas billing,
leaving the option entire up to the
consumer who pays the bill.

|JANSONUS DENIES
new TRIAL MOTION
District Judge Rules Against
Giving Minot Recall Case
A Third Trial

At q hearing held here Friday
night, Judge Fred J~ansonius denied
a motion for a new trial of the case
involving the recall Of the president
and three members Of the Minot city
commission.
The case grew out Of recall pro-
ceedings instituted against the Minot
officials a year ago. At that time
petitions were circulated In Minot
demanding q recall Of the four men.
The city auditor later issued q signed
certificate to the effect that there
were insufficient names attached to
the petitions to warrant recall pro-
ceedings.
Action was first brought In dis
trict court about q year ago In an ef-
tort to upset the auditors certificate
but Jansonius ruled that there was
not enough proof to substantiate the
claims of the plaintiff. At his sug-
gestion a motion for q new trial was
made at that time.
The case was reopened last August
and the Judge again ruled that not
enough testimony has been introduced
to show that the certificate was not
valid.
The motion for the third trial was
Llade by F. j. Funke. Minot attor-
ney.

Mr.. Bratcher paid $500 for his first

A few years ago he added further to

Mr.. Bratcher farms about 1000
