'BROOKHART Warns
OF RAIL RATE RISE
Boost Would Ruin Business
in Freight, Senator Tells
|. C. C. Hearing.
BY the AssocIated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The view the railroads in urging a
Is per cent rate increase were adopting
a policy that would ruin their freight
business was laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today by Senator
Brookhart Of Iowa.
Opposing the increase, the Senator
contended freight service already was
paying far more than just return to
the railroads. He said the railroads
themselves ruined their passenger serv-
ice by raising passenger rates to an ex-
tortionate hgure.
They are adopting now the same
short-sighted policy as to freight that
destroyed their passenger service"
Others Oppose Increase.
Brookhart appeared after Wilbur
Laroe, jr., of Washington, representing
the Associated Industries Of New York,
and ]. Van Norman of Louisville. repre-
senting Kentucky, West Virginia and
Virginia. had opposed any increase.
Brookhart said the record showed
the failure, IL any, OF the railroads to
earn proper return is on the passen-
ger side of the business
The law does not contemplate that
the freight rates shall be unduly raised
to replace losses in passenger traffic"
he said. For this reason the whole
proceeding falls down and the advance
should not be granted.

II am also in full accord with the
proposition that agriculture las made
an overwhelming showing to the effect
that 1t is in much worse condition than
the railroads and is literally unable to
pay the is per cent freight rate ad-
vance.
Therefore, even If an advance

That's Just What the
Fairs Silhouette Artist
Does to Your Profile.

THERES still hope for the
il Family Nuisance even though
he does nothing all day but use a
pair of shears on the fanily's news
paper.
For he may grow up to be a
shipper" of parts as is Robert
Singleton, silhouette artist, in the
Manufacturers building at the state
fair.
Singleton ships your profile while
you wait. His ninble shears have
pictured the prince of Wales, Calvin
Coolidge and Al Smith, and he has
their autographs of approval to
show for it.
Keeping the members of the
board of agriculture and fair
grounds employees from pining for
mothers cooking is the job of
Fred Evans, Carmel, and his adj
ministratiOn building cafeteria.
Evans serves $500 meals daily to
those who make the fair wheels
turn.
The "guy who knows it ALP is
stumped on one thing at the state
fair, and that is the autogyro piloted
by Frank Faulkner and sponsored by
the Beechnut Packing Company.
How does it go up like that?''
asked one question-mark of one OF
the "know-it-all-guyS."
The "know-it-all" passed like a
pair of deuces in a game Of draw.
If you wander into the swine
barn at the fairgrounds and hear
Sleeps "ba-a-a" don't think
you've got your four-legged ones
mixed.
For due to the innumerable
sheep entries in fair events it was
necessary to house some of them
alongside the "sOoey" ones.
Il n Il
''This tractor runs on beer" This
placard, posted near one of the
tractors in the mechanical exhibit
tons at the fair, is true. The ma
chine runs and is balanced on four
bottles partly filled with near beer.
Business may not be any good,
but HOosier retailers are doing a
business of about one and one
quarter billion dollars annually.
Statistics compiled by the Indi-
ana university bureau on business
research show that Indiana stands
twelfth among all the states in
volume of retail business.
n II
One king of knee-pants really
celebrated Labor day at the fair. He
ate a whole butterscotch pie, pork
chops. potatoes and gravy, two ice
cream cones, and drank a cup of
milk, a glass of cider and one Of
an orange drink. The last remark
he made was, where's that Red
CROSSE"
Don't shoot until you see the
whites of their eyes," With all eyes
turned upward the Battle of
Bunker Hill" is re-enacted each
night in front of the new grand
stand. That tired feeling goes with
the first bang!

SHEARER POOR
PLAN OPPOSED
Wants to Use Cow Barns
for Needy Quarters.

Majority Of county commissioners
today opposed plan of Commits
sioner John E. Shearer, minority
board member, to use the COW barn
at the state Playground as auxiliary
headquarters for the county's poor
this coming winter.
Shearer proposes an arrangement
with the state board of agriculture
to use the main buildings at the
fairgrounds to care for able bodied
inmates of the county poor farm,
which is seriously overcrowded.
That's a lot of propaganda"
Commissioner George Snider de-
clared, ut would mean the expense
of providing two heads and double
personnel to care for infirmary in
mates"
Commissioner Dow Vorhies also
is opposed to the plan, agreeing
with Snider that such a plan would
not save the county any money.
Shearer stated he made the pro-
posal because temporary quarters
which commissioners propose to
build at the poor farm can not be
completed until January. Snider
and Worries are asking the county
council to appropriate $4,000 for
the dormitory project.

STATE FAIR GATES
OPEN IN WELCOME

long enough and maybe Old Gold
Cord went into the sideshow.
So back to the administration
building. Fair officials were opti-
mistic in the belief that today's at
tendance would see another breaker
of the 1880 record for the same day.
Labor days attendance was 60, 1886,
or 712 paid admissions over 1905
holiday crowd.
This years exhibition must top
1,759 paid admissions to heat 1905
attendance for the fourth day of
the fair.
Bins are ready at the fairgrounds
to receive Wednesdays admissions
to the fair.
For it'll take bins to hold those
admissions as Farmers and Ex-
Board Members day is celebrated
by admitting agragrians to the
grounds who donate one bushel of
wheat to the gatekeepers.
Wagons will stand alongside the
gates and as the farmers drive up
with their bushels for each

Orville Partlow, accused in the
stabbing of Thomas Conner, Is, OF

LOSE A MINUTE.
SAVE A LIFE is
STETSON PLEA
Appalling Auto Death Toll
in County Is Argument
for Driving Care.
CORNERS ARE GUARDED
Sixty Thousand Children Go
Back to Classes After
Vacation.

Plea for motorists to drive care
fully was sounded today by Paul c.
Stetson, superintendent of schools
as more than 10000 children trooped
over streets and sidewalks for the
first day of the new school term.
Stetson urged that motorists ex-
ercise utmost care in driving and
pledged full support of school Of
ficials and teachers in The Times
campaign.
LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A
LIFE.
The Times campaign is to serve
as a warning to motorists and par
ents. The Times believes that edu-
eating motorists, parents and chill
dren to take precautions will be far
more valuable than preaching safety
after the damage is done.
Corners Are Guarded
Street corners near schools where
traffic is heavy were guarded this
morning by police officers, CO.
operating, under direction of Chief
Mike Morrissey and Traffic Captain
Lewis johnson, to make the streets
safe for the children.
Among the throngs of children
who returned to classrooms today
were 5000 boys and girls who never
have been away from their homes
except in the care of their parents
or older brothers and sisters.
These children are not accustomed
to speeding autos They have no
fear Many of them will dart across
streets and, in their hurry to get
home and tell mother about their
first day in school, will not remem-
Der that autos are their potential
enemies.
Traffic Toll Appalling
The traffic toll in Marion county
since jan l is appalling. One hun
dred twelve lives Of men, women
and children have been sacrificed to
autos in a few days over eight
months of 1881.
This fact, alone, should drive
home the need for care in oper-
ating automobiles in city streets
and county roads.
"At the opening of the public
schools, when more than 10000
children are returning to the class
rooms, every one should exercise
the utmost care in driving" Stet-
son said.
Indianapolis has been fortunate
In recent years in that the number
of accidents to children has been
small.
Cooperation Is Asked
1.-THE cooperation of the press,
police, school officials, auto drivers
and the children will reduce &C
cidentS to a minimum.
Auto drivers should remember
that until $3.50 a. m. pupils are on
their way to the buildings; that
during the noon hour thousands are
scurrying home to lunch, and at 3
D. m. grade schools are dismissed.
These are dangerous periods for
children.
LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE
A LIFE is good slogan for every
one"

SAFE RESISTS YEGGS

Cracksmen Saw Way Into Store,
but Fail to Get Loot.
Saving their way through the
second floor of the Western Auto
Supplies Company, 1863 North Illi-
nois street, yeggmen early today bat
tered safe, but failed to open it.
The stronghold contained 5000.
The thieves entered the building
through trap door on the roof and
used saws they found on the second
1,oor to cut the entrance hole to
the frst door.
