new TROLLEY
COMPANY PLAN
TO Be OFFERED
Committee to Meet Mayor,
Lay Organization Ideas
Before Him.

Plans for organization Of an en-
tirely new street car company from
the wreckage Of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company are being
formulated by stockholders COM
mittees, Irving w. Lemaux, one Of
the committee chairmen, announced
today.
He declared 1t Is the intention Of
chairmen Of four of the committees
to visit Mayor Reginald H. Sulli-
van Monday and announce to him
that a reorganization plan is being
worked upon, and to explain their
views as to the situation.
Members of the committee, be-
sides Lemaux, will be Gavin Payne,
Ross Wallace and Julian Ralston.
Must Get Approval
mot one step toward reorganiza-
ton can be taken until We have the
approval Of such plan from the
eastern committees, and the general
stockholders" Lemaux declared.
ANY plan discussed at present is
merely tentative.
It was indicated from other
sources that the rehabilitation of the
street car company will be accom-
puShed through the levying of as
sesSments. Bonholders will be asked
to ante the necessary money to re-
habilitate and operate the lines, 1t
was declared.
With this money estimated In the
neighborhood of $5,000,0O0, new
equipment would be purchased over
ten-year period.
Vehicle Type Not Decided
No determination as to type OF
transportation vehicles to be pur-
chased has been reached.
Forty per cert of the stock of the
present car company is said to be
in the hands of the Midland
United Company, operated by Sam
uel insult of Chicago, which sever
al months ago asked the city for a
service at cost franchise to operate
the street car company.
At that time their plan called for
expenditure of 100000 on new
equipment and rails.
This proposal was turned down
by a special street car committee
appointed by Mayor Sullivan, after
approximately a dozen public hear
ings had been held.
Chose Aids Committee
Charles w. Chase, who managed
the Gary Street Railway Company
for the insult companies and who
was in charge of presentation of the
service at cost franchise to the city
has been sitting in with the COM
mittees discussing the new plan.
It was indicated that an attempt
to obtain the services of Chase
would be made by the new COM
pany.
Nothing can be done, however
until the tentative plans have been
approved by the stockholders of the
street car company, Lemaux pointed
out.

Luesse Plans Fight Against
Judge Bakers Limit
Sentence.

His confident attitude broken by a
sentence he least expected, Theodore
Luesse, of 933 South Senate avenue,
Communist leader, today prepared
to appeal his case to the supreme
court.
In his cell at county jail today,
Luesse declared he will ask for a
hearing on charge of obstructing
legal process for which Judge Frank
P. Baker Friday sentenced him to
serve one year on the Indiana state
farm and pay $500 fine and court
costs.
Luesse will have a long time to
think over his boasts that he has
been arrested thirty-four times with
out a conviction.
Court action which LueSSe de-
clared sis just another trial as far
as I am concerned" proved to be
one the leader of the unemployed
was not looking for in Baker
criminal court.
Judge Baker branded LueSse as
"a menace to society and govern
ment," in giving the sentence.
Judge Baker gave the Communist
agitator the maximum sentence

THINK CITY IS
CERTAIN TO GET
GAS COMP ANY
Service Commissioners See
Municipal Operation in
Near Future.

Public service commissioners were
on record today as anticipating ce1-
tain success Of the taking over of
the Citizens Gas Company by the
city OF indianapolis, as provided in
the recent United States supreme
court decision.
In an order. written by Chairman
John McCardle and approved at the
commission conference Friday after
noon, the taking over of the gas
properties by the city was given as
one reason for denying an industrial
gas rate decrease. The decrease was
petitioned for by the FiShback Com
pany and nine industrial users.
The McCardle order cited the fact
that company ownership is in litiga-
ton and that "in all probability" it
will go to the city as provided under
the highest court decision.
Coke Sales Drop
Dropping Of coke sales so per cent
and gaS consumption 20 per cent
during the last year were also cited
as factors in refusal. The order
also asserted that Citizens Gas
Company rates are among the low
est in the United States
McCardle also wrote and secured
approval for an order permitting the
Calumet Railways, Inc, to abandon
street car service in Hammond, East
Chicago and Whiting. Hearing on
the petition was held Thursday and
the move was unopposed.
Intra-state shipments Of stone
we're put on a basis with Illinois
rates when the commission approved
a petition for reduction filed by the
Monon Crushed Stone Corporation
against the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
