CITY DEMANDS
new DEAL ON
LIGHT RATES
Reopen Case, Is Plea; State
Order Branded as
illegal, Void
ASK FORMAL HEARING
Dismissal of Petition to Cut
Cost of Consumer Held
'Premature.'

Branding dismissal of a petition
seeking rate reductions by the In
dianapoliS Power and Light Com
pany, as premature, illegal, arbi-
tary and void" the city today filed
with the public service commission
a complaint asking %reopening of the
case.
Edward H. Knight, corporation
counsel of Indianapolis, and James
E. Deery, city attorney, filed the
complaint, which alleges that in
dismiSsing the petition the commits
sion violated ten sections of the
statute under which it operates
Deery asked for an early p~resenta-
ton of oral arguments.
Since the dismissal order, which
was written by Commissioner Harry
K. CuthbertSon, it is asserted new
and additional evidence, material
and relevant to the issues, has been
discovered by cQmplainantS which
conflicts with certain facts and
figures set out in said order"
Stock Prospectus Cited
The new evidence consists of a
sales prospectus issued to the pub
lie by the company which con-
tradicts its claim before the COM
mission that it suffered a net rev.
enue drop during the years 1880
and 1881.
1t was upon the revenue drop
claim that Cuthbertson based his
order.
The circular, issued for the pur-
pose of aiding sales of the COM
pany's preferred stock, purports to
show that instead of a loss, there
was a gain in net revenue for the
year ending Sept. 80, 1881. A copy
OF the prospectus is filed with the
complaint.
Counsel for the city declares the
petition was dismissed without "a
public formal hearing" as provided
in the exact words of the statute,
and for that reason the order is
void.
Tt is stated that the original
petition showed 'the rates were un-
reasonable, unjust and excessive"
1t is charged that regardless of
any evidence obtained by the COM
mission through an investigation of
its own, the city is entitled to pre-
sent evidence in a formal hearing.
but this was ignored and the
petition dismissed without evidence
from the complainant or a hearing.
Terms Dismissal Arbitrary
Dismissal without hearing is
termed arbitrary, an abuse of dis
erection, and constitutes a denial to
compliments of due process of law
The hearing provided by statute,
the city contends, must be held in
advance of any inventory, appraisal
or audit of the company's property.
Concluding paragraph of the
complaint "prayS that the order
diSmissing the petition be vacated
and the commission resume juris-
diction and, at its convenience, set
the same for a formal public hear
ing and conduct such investigation
as provided by law as to all mat
tiers as are necessary in determin-
ing what r reasonable and just
rates for respondents public utility

herein"

Issue Joint Appeal for
Information.

war on drinking and sale of booze
to teen age girls and boys attend
ing indianapolis high schools, was
declared today by city and county
officials and police.
Every available avenue of law en-
forcement was thrown open in the
efforts of the authorities to smash
the sources of liquor to which high
school pupils have access.
Officials announced their inten-
tons to clean up the situation and
pleaded with the public to aid.
Determination to open the inten-
sive fight came as a result of the
statement of Miss Vera Wood, II
Shortridge high school girl, ano
confessed toy pistol bandit, that 81
was drunk"
Asks for Information
1T is a terrible thing to think of
young children being made the VIC
TINS of bootleg liquor, and we want
information that will help us stamp
out the practice" Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan declared.
Warning Of swift prosecution of
bootleggers who peddle liquors to
pupils vas sounded by Police Chief
Mike Morrissey, and judges of city
and county courts.
simultaneously, police and detec-
tives pressed their efforts to nab a
%bootlegger or a companion of Miss
Wood, who, the girl said, gave her
whisky before she is alleged to have
robbed eleven persons at the point
of a water pistol in a night robbery
tour early Tuesday.
Law 10 Be Enforced
We are making every effort to
learn where the girl obtained
liquor Morrissey said.
She has been questioned closely
by detectives since her arrest and
she sticks to a story that the fellow
who came to her house Monday
night and took her for an auto ride
gave her liquor.
IF we can get any information
as to who this man is, he will be
most certainly arrested and pros
ecuted."
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson said
that every resource at his command
will be used to halt the sale of
liquor to young persons.
"A man or woman can not do
anything worse toward making
criminals out of our young people,
than to sell them liquor" Wilson
said.
mo punishment is too severe"
Sullivan Asks Public's Aid
Sullivan urged citizens having in
formation of high school %bootleggers
to place the facts in the hands of
police Immediately.
He pointed out that a booze
circle recently operating near Short
ridge high school was smashed on
information provided by citizens.
At that time, liquor was being de-
llNeIeu 10 pupils anywhere by plac-
ing orders by telephone. A woman
was arrested and convicted as the
%bootlegger.
Municipal Judge William H.
Sheaffer, in whose court Miss Wood
faces hearing March 4 following a
two weeks psychopathic examina-
ton at city hospital, admonished
students of the added severity of
punishment for crimes committed
while the offender is drunk.
Persons selling liquor to high
school pupils can not expect leniency
from the court" he said.
Before prohibition became a
law, advocates of the dry law de-
clared we would have little use for
our jailS, but the opposite has been
the result" Sheaffer stated.

A special meeting is being
held late today by Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, superin-
tendent of police, and leaders
of civic organizations and
heads of patriotic organizations
to formulate plans to care for
an army of war veterans con-
verging on Washington next
week.
Officials are handicapped in
their plans to house and feed
the veterans because of meager
advices as to the number OF
veterans.
Numbers at Variance
Extravagant statements Of
pamphlets, urging the march, say
that 10000 veterans will come
here from Wisconsin, Indiana,
and Illinois. while another leaf
let urges that one million vet
eranS will be in Washington for
the meeting.
No District funds are at pres
ent available to provide food
for the marchers and Community
Chest funds are so depleted as
to preclude possibility of aid.
General GlaSsford has warned
the marcherS in advance that
the District will be unable to
feed them.
On the other hand, however,
General Glassford said the Dis
trict is obligated to take care Of
the men and he hopes that the
meeting with civic and patriotic
leaders will offer a solution.
