Federal Judges, However,
Grant Injunction on
Marion Reduction.

Sustaining the theory that stat
utes permit the public service COM
mission to reduce utility rates dur
ing periods of emergency, three
federal judges today ruled, how
ever, that the 20 per cent reduc-
ton ordered against the Indiana
General Service Company in Mar
ion was too drastic" ana granted
the utility an interlocutory injunc-
ton.
Commissioner Howell Ellis. who
wrote the rate reduction order. an
nounced an immediate appeal will
be taken to the United States SUI
preme court.
Judge Robert c. Baltzell. acting
on behalf of Circuit Judge Will
Sparks and District Judge Thomas
Slick, issued the finding today
Try to Expedite Case
He declared the judges had at
tempted to expedite matters in this
case. He suggested that If an APP
peal is taken, it should be done i'm
mediately.
He called attention to the fact
that Chief Justice Hughes recently
declared that in all similar appeals
the high court would not rule on
the merits, but upon possible abuse
of discretion by the three judges
hearing the injunction petitions.
The court order provides the utili-
ty must post a 100000 bond. In
event the high court upholds the
rate reduction, the proper refunds
will be made from the bond.
The order also reafflrmed a recent
decision of the court denying the
right of utility to have rates based
upon all units Of a loop.
Reduction Is Large
It sets out that the Indiana Serv-
ice Company serves seven counties
and twenty-one communities, but
that the city OF Marion is the only
unit concerned in this matter.
on Feb. /, 1892, in an order writ
ten BY Ellis and dissented to by
Chairman John w. McCardle. the
commission granted approximately
20 per cent rate reduction to pa
irons in Marion This reduction, it
is estimated. would total S125,00O
annually and reduce the corpora
TONS income from $626,000 to
s501 900.
This order was written after only
one hearing, the court says, and was
based on a section of the Shively-
Spencer utility act, which gives the
commission authority during an
emergency temporarily to alter
amend or. with the consent Of the
public utility concerned. suspend
any existing rates or schedules
The judges point out that under
this provision the commission in
creased rates during the World wal
and. therefore. may reduce them.

Twelve times Ty won the batting
championship of that circuit, scoring
nine titles in row from 1907 through
1915, then running behind Iris
Speaker for season, only to come
back for three straight. In 1911 he
achieved his peak with an average

.410.
For years Cobb was the base
stealing marvel of the majors, his 96
steals in 1915 still standing out as
the modern record.
1t would be impossible here to list
all Of Ty's record achievements.
And now all that is behind him.
The Georgia Peach is retired. He
lives in San Francisco, and while
he sees lot of games, he has no
hankering for the competitive side
of base ball. Ty would like to come
back as an owner or business man.

train rides and the strain of play

Cobb is said to be the only ball
player who quit the game with a
million. Judicious investments made
him independently wealthy before
he quit, and the slump did not hit
that particular stock in which Ty is
largely interested.
