under the slogan, Earn 6 per cent
with safety" They offered the Gus
toners a so-called savings invest
ment plan at $40 down and $40 a
month for each share.
In his order dismissing the rate
reduction petition, Cuthbertson set
out that the company suffered
loss of 1924, 1883 in electric operat-
ing revenues in 1881 and, therefore,
it would be impossible to cut the
rates.
Although no formal hearing was
held on the rate reduction petition
before it was dismissed, Cuthbert-
son insists that one must be held
here before he can issue any order
cutting rates of the Indianapolis
Water Company.
1.-THE company would object to
such procedure" he explained.
No Formal Objection Yet
So far no formal objection to dis
missal without hearing Of the cleo
trio rate reduction petition has been
registered by the city and citizens
who filed it.
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan to-
day met with his light and water
committees to outline future action
toward utility rate reductions.
Sullivan announced the meeting
today with his committees follow
ing conference Friday with men,
bers of his legal staff.
Attending the session Friday, be-
sides the mayor, were Edward H.
Knight, city corporation counsel;
James E. Deery, city attorney, and
Taylor E. Grohinger, attorney for
South Side Civic Clubs, actively in
terested in the utility rate fight.
Discuss Future Action
E. Kirk Mckinney and Charles
o. Britton, works board members,
also were present during part of the
conference.
Several courses of action were
discussed at the meeting Friday.
These include appeal to the courts
against the commissions dismissal
of the petition, and an appeal to
the commission to reScind the dis
missal order and reopen the case.
1.-THE petition was dismissed by
the commission on the presumption
that the indianapolis Power and
Light Company has suffered a drop
in revenue" Sullivan said.
Since our last informal confer
ence with Commissioner Harry K.
Cuthbertson we have obtained a
prospectus issued by the light COM
pany to sell stock, showing that its
net revenue for the twelve months
ended Sept. 80, 1881, were $122,686
more than for the twelve months
ending Dec. 81, 1880.
Could Ask Rehearing
1--WE could ask a rehearing before
the commission on the basis of this
new evidence" Sullivan said.
Date for hearing on the petition
for a water rate cut has been post
poned from March 1 to March 10,
at the request of Joseph j. Daniels,
an attorney for the water COM
pany.
Daniels said he must appear in
superior court five March l to serve
as special deputy attorney-gen-
eral in hearing on petition to re-
strain the state from enforcing the
new truck laws.

w Military observers here to-
day declared Japan has become
involved so deeply in China that
a formal declaration of war hard

Victory at Shanghai, it is said,
will not give the Japanese a VIC

therefore, can prevent the fight

throughout the country. :
Victory even there, it further is

CURRENCY BILL
WELL ON WAY
TO ENACTMENT
Credit Expansion Project Is
Passed by Senate,
Only Is Dissenting.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The
Glass-Steagall bill for currency and
credit expansion, which suficed on
its mere introduction to boom stock
and commodity markets, is well on
its way to enactment.
The house passed the bill Mon
day, with only fifteen dissenting
votes. The senate acted late Friday
without a record roll call, after ex-
tending the period of effectiveness
from one year to two.
Conferences will take place early
next week and the perfected legis-
lation will be resubmitted for final
approval before being sent to Presi-
dent Hoover.
Welcome awaits the bill at the
White House. 1t has aroused cheers
from Wall Street to Walla Walls.
Senators proclaimed it the most
vital legislation of the session for
overcoming depression.
Senator Glass, CDem., Va.,) who
jointly sponsored the bill, estimates
that OO,OOOOOO of new currency
may be issued under its authority.
40 Per Cent Reserve
1t previously had been estimated
that new currency issue could ex-
coed 100000, but excess gold
held by reserve banks now is about
$3.50, 100000, and will permit issue of
only the lesser sum, with the gold
serving as a 40 per cent reserve.
The remaining so per cent of the
collateral behind the currency will
be composed of federal bonds. Sen
ator Blaine (Rep., Wis.,, described
currency SO secured at so per cent,
scrip or greenbackS, but the senate
was not deferred.
Individual banks with a capital of
100000 or less may under the bill
borrow individually from the reserve
banks on their promiSsory notes and
such hitherto ineligible collateral as
the reserve board may approve.
Larger banks must form groups in
borrowing on these extraordinary
conditions.
The foregoing provisions compro-
mise the bill. Limiting and expand
ing amendments, except that offered
by Senator Thomas Dem., Okla.),
to extend the time limit on opera
ton of the bill, were unceremonious-
ly rejected.
Dawes Back of 1t
1t generally was reported on the
senate floor during the final hours
Of debate that one of the compell-
ing reasons for enactment had not
been publicly stated. 1t also be-
came known today that Charles G.
Dawes, president of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, met Sc
cretly last week with members of
the banking and currency commit
tee to emphasize necessity for
speedy action.
There appeared reason to believe
that only the provision relating to
borrowing by groups of banks had
among senators, and that
the sections authorizing expansion
of currency and loans to individual
banks had come from outsiders.
Senator Couzens, (Rep., Mich.) pro-
tested during debate that "out-
siders' were writing bills for the
senate.

 Errors Costly To BroOklyns
 The Tommies scored in the sec ond on George Mulligan's single to left which Bill Flanagan fumbled momentarily as Null took second from where he scored on "Tokes" Martino's poke to right. In the third the Brooklyns evened it up on Mullen's double to right and Fenn's single to left. Fenn opened the los- CTS sixth with single being sacri- feed to second by Radzevich. Elan agan doubled to right scoring Fenn. With two out in the last of the eight the Tommies tied it up at 2-2, Her Colby singled and went around to third when Jack Mahaney threw Into centerfeld trying to atch him stealing. Bill Harnick hit to Mullen who fumbled, recovered quickly but threw wide to Eddie Lyons as Colby registered.
 Dumb Playing
 Four innings went along and neither club scored. In the first of the unlucky inning, Howie Colvin was safe on Mullen's fourth error. Colby bunted and was safe as Daiy felded the ball, but had nobody to throw to on first, Lyons playing in for the "squeeze" play. Harnick was out for bunting on the last strike and Schofield filled the bases on a duplicate play like Colby's. Then the parade of base hits start ed and before the third man was out, the Tommies pushed across six tallies. The box score:
