Decision was made by three
Judge court Monday and a lengthy
opinion, dissolving the Insull-pro-
cured temporary injunction, was
handed down by Judge Robert G.
Baltzell.
Other federal judges concurring
were Thomas w. Slick, South Bend,
and Will Sparks of the United
States circuit court of appeals of
Chicago.
Dissolution of the injunction was
recommended to the court by Albert
S. Ward, who heard the case as
master in chancery.
Savings of $4,000 annually to
electric patrons at Martinsville will
accrue from the commission order
passed Jan. 26, 1929, it is estimated.
In appealing from the decision,
the Wabash Valley Electric Com
pany had to post bond to cover the
period of litigation and repay the
difference should the commission
rates be made effective, as they now
are by court order.
The court found the new lower
rates, decided upon by the commits
sion, still will yield a return of 7
per cent on the Martinsville prop
critics.
Commissioner Frank T. Singleton,
whose home is at Martinsville, wrote
the commission order.
Similar points are involved in a
Bloomington rate case, now pending
in federal court.
The court opinion pointed out
that to require a complete audit
and appraisal of the entire power
loop would make the cost of a rate
case prohibitive to a municipality.
Proof of the expense Of the power
loop plan is cited in the fact that
the utility wanted to amortize $780,
600 for the present rate case, as
against $4,000 allowed by the COM
mission.
The court upheld Wards finding
that the value of the local plant at
Martinsville is $1O2,947 and that the
value of all of the other property of
the company, which is used and
useful in supplying electricity to the
city is $101, 191, making a total value
of $204, 1913.

HOOVER'S Credit
BILL is SHOWED
THROUGH HOUSE
Wartime Speed Is Shown in
Passage; Senate Votes
on Wednesday.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Presi-
dent Flowers new federal reserve
credit and currency measure was
half way through its congressional
journey today, only five days after
its initiation at White House con-
ference.
Carrying the almost unanimous
Endorsement OF the house, which
passed it late Monday after only
three hours consideration by a vote
Of $50 to Is. the Steagall-Glass bill
moved today to the senate, where it
is scheduled to be taken up Wednes-
day. Fairly prompt action is ex-
oected there. with prospects the bill
will be in President Hoover's hands
oy the end of the week or earlier.
Not even in war days has con-
yress seen such quick action as
Monday. Speaker John Nance
Garner damned the bill through
under the most drastic procedure
at his command after three hours
Of debate. No amendments were
permitted, and the bill stood today
as it came from the house banking
and currency committee.
Some Protest Raised
A few voices we're raised against
the take it or leave it. orders of
The Democratic leadership, but they
we're drowned in the chorus of
ayes" which greeted the measure
when the roll was called. Only four
members admitted they had read
the record Of the hearings during
which the bill was explained, but
the majority were SC convinced Of
the necessity of the legislation that
they rose to its support en- masse.
No such unusual procedure is pos
sible under liberal senate rules.
There is controversy there, too,
between the bills sponsor, Senator
Glass Oem., Va), and Senator
Walcott (Rep., Conn.,, regarded as
President Hoover's representative
on financial legislation.
Glass and Walcott thought today
they would be able to work out
their differences, however, without
the necessity of a floor fight.
Differ on Amendments
They differ over two amendments
Inserted by Glass, one of which
would limit loans to individual
banks to those with capitalization
of 100000 and less, and the other
providing that loans to groups Of
five or more banks would be per-
mitted only where the banks have
no assets eligible to rediscount.
Bankers have objected strenuously
to both amendments.
The house bill contained no such
restrictions. 1t provides for extern
sion of loans by federal reserve
banks to groups of five or more
banks on their promissory notes and
for substitution of government
bonds for commercial paper as the
basis of currency issues by the fed
eral reserve banks. This, it is esti-
mated, will free $75O,0O0,O0O Of i'm
pounded gold.
This currency provision was at
tackled in the house as constituting
initiation" which no one sought to
deny.

PRELATE TO CONFIRM ST. MARGARET'S CLASS
CONFIRMATION AND GRADUATION
At St Francis Xavier Church This Afternoon
 and Sunday Evening
TWO EvENTFUL DAYS

1t Rev Maurice F. McAuliffe will administer the sacrament of confirmation to a class of 325 boys and girls at St Francis Xavier church at o'clock this afternoon. The altar is beautifully decorated and no doubt the edince will be crowded with parents and friends of the children, who will be suit ably attired for the occasion. The list was published yesterday and contains the names of 172 boys and 15S girls.
 Sunday evening the graduating exercises of the St Francis Xavier parochial school Sth grade class will take place in the church. The class consists of 26 boys and 30 girls. In this instance the girls lead the boys in numbers while the boys are a long way ahead of the girls in the confirmation class.
 These two events mark the suc- cessful close of several years labor on the part of the pastor, Rev J. J. Egan, his assistants, the sisters of the parochial school and parents of the children. Of course it also means continued and careful watch- ing on the part of parents to see that their charges keep in mind and practice the rule of life laid down to them up to the present in the home, at church and under the di- rection of their teachers in the schools.
