Thrilling feats of strength and
prowess of the worlds greatest ath-

be seen in all their breath-taking
suspense and blood stirring climaxes
in the current issue of The Indian

Graham McNamee, ace radio an

as the screens talking reporter, the

history in the realms of interna-

The spectacular finish of the 100

the completion of Captain Wolf

UTILITY FOES
WIN, LOSE IN
HOUSE FIGHTS
Public Ownership Bloc Is
Halted in Effort to
Push Over Bill.

Flushed by Mondays victory,
proponents Of public ownership of
utilities failed today when they
sought to suspend the constitutional
rules and pass senate Bill AIT
without further delay. The bill re-
moves municipally-owned utilities
from public service commission
control.
The attempt was lost on a rul-
ing by Speaker Walter Myers that
the printed copy Of the bill would
have to lay on the members desks
for twenty-four hours before
further action.
Myers promised, however, that
he would recognize the motion
Wednesday.
Representative H. H. Evans
(Rep.D, Newcastle, presented the
motion to suspend the rule requir-
ing action on separate days and
Representative Walter Stanton
DEM, Gary, utility supporter
raised the point of order.
Lashes Utility Lobby
Sparing no invectives, Evans
dashed the utility lobby and said
that its Vaccinations would kill the
bill unless speedy action was taken.
The measure now awaits second
reading.
Governor Harry G.. Leslie has an
nounced he has signed the Pell bill
which permits cities and towns to
purchase public utilities and pay for
them through earnings.
Floor fight Monday to defeat the
utility group was led by Representa-
tive Jacob Weiss Dem), Indian
apolis, who declared that IF this
session passes no other bill, it's work
has been we'll done.
I plead to your sense of decency
and honesty to defeat any effort
to amend this bill" he said
When the duplicate house bill
passed in this body the utilities sent
every lobbyist and his brother here
10 XIII JQe measures.
G. o. p. Joins in Fight
Evans and Representative C. Y.
Foster of Carmel, both Republicans,
joined in the plea. They said -four
hundred cities and towns in Indi-
ana are clamoring for this legisla-
ton to free them from the control
Of the gouging utilities.
The debate ragged bitterly, with
Republicans and Democrats fighting
shoulder to shoulder against the
pro-utility group.
The house again postponed final
action on the Hoffman home rule"
bill which repeats all mandatory
tax levies and gives the power to
fix levies and public officials sala-
ries with the local councils.
The bill, senate measure, was
made a special order of business for
$3.50 Friday afternoon.

Using budgets of all units of gov

The bill provides the time for

RUTH REMAINS
AS REAL IDOL
OF BALL FANS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, July 2. = Babe
Ruth, after 1872 years of major
league baseball, remains the biggest
magnet in the game.
The Yankees played to more
than $4,000 persons in a four-game
series at Comiskey Park recently
with the Chicago White Sox, dis
organized outfit in seventh place.
No other American league club can
approach that draw" with the
White Sox.
A crowd of $4,000, the largest in
side Comiskey Park this year, saw
one game, and more than half of
them went out to see Ruth. Before
that $4,000 crowded into the Cleve-
land Park TO see the Yankees play,
and the gates had TO be closed be-
cause all available space was filled.
On his own testimony, Ruth does
not expect to last longer than the
1898 season, a year and a half more
as a regular player. He wants to
round out 20 years in the majors,
play in 10 worlds series and then
he'll be ready to try his hand as
a manager. If the Yanks win the
pennant this year, the 1882 worlds
series will be Ruth's tenth.
Around the American league cir
cult there are thousands of per-
sons who go to see the Yankees
play merely to get glimpse Of
Ruth in action.
The Yankees have Lou Gehrig,
who tied Ruth in homerS last year
and who is outbatting him by many
points this year; Lefty Gomez, who
threatens to usurp Bob Groves
place as the best pitcher in the
American league; Benny Chapman,
the fleetest player In either league;
Bill Dickey, rated by many as base
balls greatest catcher, and many
other colorful ball players, but it is
doubtful if they would outdraw any
other pennant contender on the
road If Ruth were not on the team.
Veteran baseball scribes who have
travelled with the Yankees since
1921, when they won their first
American league pennant, find
that Ruth's popularity with the
crowd has not diminished with his
added years, deteriorated defensive
work and general all-around play.
He still has to eat all his meals
in his hotel room, autograph thou
sands of baseballs, make appear
ances at hospitals, benefits and
other public gatherings. He re-
mains the idol of all fandom.
Ball players around the league
are saying that Ruth can't get "off
a dime" in the outfield, but the
pitchers still recognize him as the
most dangerous patsman in baseball

Police Sergeant
Files Report On
Years Activities

That the Ell Centro police de-
partment is no mean business was
shown today in an annual report
prepared by Bill Mitchell, desk SER
geant, showing that total collec-
tions from July l, 1881, until July
l, 1882, amounted to $21, ,747.15.
This annual report showed a
total of 1867 general arrests and
$50 traffic arrests during the year.
Of those arrested, SO were taken
into custody on felony charges, and
1864 were arrested on misdemeAnor
charges.
General fines in police court ac-
counted for $7059 of the revenue.
Occupation license collections made
up the largest item, amounting to
$12,037.50. Other items included
traffic fines, dog taxes, telephone
calls and water department collec-
tions
The report for June. also issued
today, showed that last month saw
a smaller collection than the month
before. Total collections for June
amounted only to 1916, while COL
lections for May totaled $2053.10.
Arrests last month, however, were
almost as many as the month be-
fore, for 100 prisoners were taken
into custody. OF these 10 were ar
rested on charges of drunkenness,
16 for disturbing the peace, IS for
petty theft, II fer vagrancy and IL
for investigation.
OF those arrested, Sd were dis
missed or drew suspended sentences,
20 paid fines, 13 were turned over
to other departments, IL served
time, five owe fines and six cases
are pending.

LOS ANGELES, July 2. U.P) =
The Los Angeles Times, Republican,
commenting today upon the Dem
ccratic nomination of Franklin d.
Roosevelt for the presidency, said:
** to be entirely candid,
Roosevelt is far from being presi-
dental timber He is not of suffi-
cient calibre. OF pleasing PERSONAL
fly, and considerable attainments.
he seems possessed of neither ideas
nor ideals, experience or judgment
qualifying him for the presidency.
From partisan political stand
point, this paper ought perhaps to
welcome the putting forward by the
Democratic party Of its feeblest
foot. 1t does not DO SO; it genu-
inely regrets the results of the
Democratic national convention at
Chicago because the welfare of the
United States would be endangered
if, through some political accident,
Franklin d. Roosevelt should be-
come president.
"The Democratic party had some
worthy men who could have made
a strong fight. 1t has relegated
them to obscurity; and this is a
pity"

OLD WEST MADE
CONTRIBUTIONS
TO OUR SLANG

Contributions of the west to the
development of the American
language have just received rec

west," he said, has come a cluster
of new terms. Vigorous lingo has
come from life on the trail, in
trapping, on the range, on the
ranch or homestead.
'Six-shooter,' a common and
decadent term now, came from use
more than so years ago by the
Texas Rangers of the new and
deadly weapon of that day.
Much of the early pioneering
slang still is In use, but its origin
in obscurity. To speak of a man
as gone beaver doesn't translate
itself well today. But once it meant
universally that he was mentally
upset. And a decade later the east
contributed off his trolley which
put beaver out of the psyche
pathic vocabulary. But more re-

from the occasional necessity of

Beaver also was a synonym
for money in the days when beaver
skins were medium for barter.
And by beaver was an ejaculation
substituting for other more familiar
objects by which to swear faith in
thing.
Grim humor appeared in such
metaphors as fcrow-bait' for a
poor horse, 'kidney-pad' for sad
die, 'red-eye, which aptly de-
scribed the hard liquor of that
day, and of this. Or, 'tarantula

ing power cannot equal. And in
keeping with the necessities of the
times, it has enabled the public to
enjoy the benefits of this engineer
ing triumph in the lowest priced
market in which most cars are
bought today.
The outstanding success of Ply
mouth since last July constitutes
G, really great tribute to the De
Soto, Dodge and Chrysler dStribut-
ing organizations, for notwith-
standing the recognized market of
this four cylinder vibrationless car,
and its exceptional value as COM
pared with its competitors in even
higher priced classes, it took cour-
age and enthusiastic, aggressive
selling efforts to do what has been
done in the last II months.
