TUTEWILER CASE
Prosecutor Demands Ruling
on Booze Crash.

Petition to force court ruling on
one of three charges placed against
Harry D. Tutewiler, 1917 Park ave-
nue., former county commissioner,
was filed this morning in municipal
court four by Russell Dean, deputy
prosecutor.
The petition demands that Sol G..
Bodner, special judge, find Tute-
wiler guilty of a. charge of failing
to stop after an accident, growing
out of collision several weeks ago
on the north side.
Tutewiler last week was discharged
by Bodner on charges of drunken
ness and operating a car while
drunk. Bodner withheld Judgment
on the charge of failing to stop
after an accident.
Conviction on the latter charge
carries maximum fine of 5000 and
imprisonment for sixty days.
Bodner announced that ruling
will be made on the petition at 2
today.
With filing of the petition, Dep
uty Prosecutor Dean declared evil
dence in the case clearly shows
Tutewiler is guilty of the charge of
failing to stop after the accident"
I'm my opinion, the state proved
the other charges. We believe it
is only fair to the state to petition
the court for a finding on the
charge"

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. Wv.
Warren Barbour, Republican mil

Thread Company and treasurer of
the American Protective Tariff
League, a high tariff organization,
was named today by Governor Nor

Barbour in 1910, was amateur

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The
Federal Trade commission today re-
sumed its investigation of public
utilities with survey of the
fiances of the Middle West Utilities
Company, largest holding company
of the insult group. Middle West
Utilities controls companies serving
approximately 5000 communities in
thirty states.
Charts showing that the company
in 1880 served a population of $685.
846 with electricity, water, gas, heat,
were introduced by w. B. Horne, a
commission examiner.
Horne's charts showed BAT allied
companies in the Middle West Utili-
ties group. Twenty-seven are in
active.
Before starting his examination,
Robert E. Healy, chief commission
counsel, told Commissioner Edgar
A. McCulloch, who presided, that
the commission would place in the
record reports on the financial
aspects of other insult companies.

Studebaker also is increasing its
newspaper advertising for next year,
estimating it will spend more than
100000. This COMPARES with
$4,500,0O0 in 1929 and only $4,000, 900

Buick already has launched its

The Rockne six, a light automo-
bile, will have two lines, the 49,

ported curiosity" post-mortems,
Vehling has filed claims for $25 fees
with county officials.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson and
Deputy Oscar Hagemeier have been
scanning the death records Of the
hospital and Vehlings office.
In these, it is reported, they have
found evidence Of spite" verdicts,
growing out of relatives refusals to
permit autopSies, and other cases
where bodies were rushed to the
city morgue or Vehling's undertake
ing parlor, 702 Virginia avenue, for
alleged unwarranted autopsies..

Grand jurors today are expected
to begin sitting activities of Vehling
in connection with the auto-train

dan of Lawrence, near their home
several weeks ago

family charge, the bodies were or
dered returned to the city hospital
for autopsies by Vehling, after an
Oaklandon undertaken began en-
balming, on orders of relatives.
