even though he disregarded his
nurses instructions and smoked
black cigars.
Saturday afternoon as the in
ventor was about to take an auto
mobile ride, he collapsed. DR.. Howe,
playing golf at Port Washington,
L. L, was summoned by telephone
and flew Immediately to West
Orange.
Members Of the family gathered
at the home.
After treating Edison, DR.. Howe
revealed the inventor had been SUI
fering from diabetes for several
years and that he also had ulcers
of the stomach.
The collapse might have been
brought on, he said, by the fact that
Edison has observed a self imposed
milk diet for several years which
has left him undernourished.
During the day the Edison resi-
dence in Llewelyn park received
many messages inquiring about the
inventors condition. Two of these
were from Edison's old friends,
Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone.
The three have formed famous
vacation triumvirate, meeting in the
south every winter.
Ford's telephone call came just as
Edison was about to eat some tapi-
oca.

SHOWERS BREAK
REIGN OF HEAT
Whole State Benefited by
Sunday Rains.

The weather man received the
blessings Of more than three million
HoosierS today as they climbed from
beds to find ten degrees sliced from
the near-record thermometer read
ings of last week.
Long overdue, relief from the
sitting heat wave of last week will
continue at least until Tuesday, the
weather bureau here forecast today.
The heat wave was broken here
about 9 Sunday night, when clouds
that had been punching most of the
day collected and spread showers
over virtually the whole city.
Heaviest rainfall was believed to
have been in the northern part of
town, while in the eastern sections
there was little or no rain. However,
the general condition of rains cooled
all sections. At the weather bureau
.06 inch Of rain was recorded.
Att this morning the thermometer
at the weather bureau registered 70
degrees, while last week at that hour
the readings were from to de-
gress higher. A p. m. the mercury
had climbed to 70 degrees, is de-
grees lower than the usual mark
Tor that hour during the heat wave.
j. H. Arlington, senior meteor
ologist at the bureau, this morning
admitted possibility of return of
high temperatures after Tuesday.
The mercury is on another spree in
the northwest, and may renew its
unpleasant performance here later
this week.

CITY TO SEEK
CUT IN HUGE
UTILITY BILLS
Sullivan Calls Conference
With Power, Light and
Water Companies.
OPPOSES WAGE SLASH
Mayor Against Proposal to
Reduce Pay of Police
and Firemen.

Opposing suggestions for police
and fire department salary cuts as
a means Of reducing taxes, Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan this afternoon
was to confer with representatives
of the indianapolis Power and Light
Company in an effort to reduce the
enormous municipal power and light
bills.
In announcing the conference
Sullivan said a parley also will be
held Immediately with Indianapolis
Water Company representatives tc
seek water bill reductions.
The city's water and light bills
annually total nearly $1,000,00O, Sui
lican pointed out.
The city is buying electricity un-
der a ten-year contract signed in
1925 in the last part of the Shank
administration. Rates paid by the
city are considerably higher than
those paid by local industries and
other large electricity consumers,
0Q141Ed4l oo40 44C lido OVC11 A14O1 AI4CQ'
No Adjustment Made
The light contract contains a
sliding scale rate based on prices
of coal and other commodities, but
no adjustment has been made since
the more prosperous days when the
contract was executed, city officials
point out.
The city has no contract with the
water company, operating under
rates fixed by the public service
commission.
Water costs the city approximate
ly $4,000 every three months,
while electricity bills aggregate
100000 year.
In addition to Sullivan and the
light company representatives, the
meeting this afternoon will be at
tended by representatives of the city
legal department, works board mem
berS, City Controller William l..
Elder and Jackiel w. Joseph, park
board president.
Tax Cut Needed
The meeting today merely is a
preliminary step in an effort to re-
duce the city'S oppressive utility
bills, it was pointed out.
Because Of business conditions, it
is necessary to reduce taxes" Sui
Ivan said. However, because some
departments this year are operating
partly on balances which they will
not have for next year, and because
of reduced revenue other than the
levy, 1t is possible that a levy in
crease will be necessary, despite a
city budget decrease.
II feel that it is better to seek
a saving in utility bills, to which
the city is entitled, than to at
tempt to cut the already low sala-
ries of policemen and f1remen, who
daily risk their lives"
Sullivan explained he was making
no criticism of salary adjustments
proposed in the sanitary depart
ment.
Situation Is Different
THE sanitary board, in 81 way, is
an industry, manufacturing and
selling products, and to meet
competition of similar industries,
must pay salaries and wages COM
parable with other industries" he
said.
Wages proposed by one member
of the board (B. j. r. Jeup) as a
minimum are equal to those paid
by the county for similar work and
higher than are paid by private
local industries for such work.
I'm addition, workers in the SAM
tary department have the advantage
Of steady work, less affected by adj
changes, and their
work IS less hazardous"

CHIEF TO MAKE INQUIRY
Pair on Carpet Today;
Woman Witness Calls
Attack UniuStified

Charges of police brutality In
making an arrest for a minor Of
tense will be weighed by Police
Chief Mike Morrissey, he announced
today, in calling two radio patrol
men to appear before him at 2 this
afternoon.
Beating of 21-year- old motor
ist with clubs and fists by the two
officers, who arrested him for driv-
ing with improper lights, is alleged
by the victim and by witnesses.
Ralph Surber 752 Livingston ave-
nue., driver of the car, was slated at
police headquarters Sunday night on
charges Of resisting an officer, using
profanity and driving with improper
lights.
Shows Black Eye
Today he exhibited a blackened
eye which he says resulted from a
blow by policeman.
Otto Burk and James w. Ora
ham were the arresting officers.
Chief Morrissey refused to COM
ment on the case until he has COM
pleted his investigation.
Surber claims the attack by the
officers was unwarranted and that
he did not resist arrest or use pro-
fame language.
Surber, toolmaker, was driv-
ing west on West Washington street
early Sunday night with three young
companions. In the party were
John WilterInood, 10, of 1915 FIem-
ing street, a Washington high school
student; Miss Katherine Powers, 447
North Arnolda avenue, Technical
high school student, and Miss Aileen
Van Austin, 1410 Oliver avenue.
Narrowly Misses Crash
According to Surber's story, a po-
lice automobile suddenly turned
around in the street, causing him
nearly to collide with it,
Unaware, he said, that the other
car was a police auto, he yelled:
Why don't you watch where you're
going?"
After he had driven several blocks
west, Surber said, the police car
came from behind and ordered him
to stop.
What was that wise crack you
made back there?" Surber charges
one Of the officers said.
Il just told you to watch where
you were going" Surber replied.
We'll, the judge will tell you
where we can co., Surber stated the
policeman told him, and besides.
you're driving with only one light"
Hit With Club. He Says
surber stated that he told the
policemen that both of his head
lights were burning when he left
home, but that he would get out
of his car and look.
He says that when he stepped
from the automobile and bent to
look at one of the lights, one of
the officers struck him with his
f1st. He charges he was struck sew
eral times, and that when the Of
ficers had taken him to a police
call box he was beaten with a club.
Surber's story of the arrest was
borne out by witnesses, including
Mrs. Grace Register, 1922 West
Washington street Surber's car was
halted by police in front of her
home.
Il had Just come out on the
front porch" said Mrs. Register. Il
saw the young man stoop as if to
look at his lights. One of the po-
licemen slapped him The young
man was knocked down. He was
struck several times. I did not
hear the young man use profanity
or talk loudly"

Afhdavits were filed today in iu-

two Negro brothers, Charles and
Theodore Taylor, of 1910 Olive

Police charge the streets are be-
