HALT ALLEGED
PHONE PIRAT|NC
Service Commission Acts in
Cicero Case.

For the first time since it's crea-
ton, the public service commission
affirmed its right to regulate tele-
phone service outside of munich
pallties, an order issued Friday de-
handing alleged pirating of phone
patrons be halted in Cicero town
ship, Upton county.
This order is expected to bring to
an end the controversy between the
Union Telephone Company and the
Upton Telephone Company, operat-
ing in that section.
The alleged pirating started when
Cicero township farmers were de-
MED their petition to receive serv-
ice from the Upton company in
stead of the Union company. The
commission refused the order on
the grounds that the territory
rightfully comes under the permit
OF the Union company.
The farmers then built a CO.
operative" line and we're alleged to
have used materials supplied by the
Upton company.
One night, according to the COM
plant, part-time employe of the
Upton company, aided by farmers,
hooked the cooperative line to the
Upton company'S line
In the order, the commission
pointed out that the statutes, in set
ting up the body and permitting
the issuance of indeterminate per-
mits, did so in order to halt pirating
competition.

Knew City When It Was
Wide Place in the Road
Bolts KniUeS

Physicians at the city hos
pital gasped with amazement
Friday afternoon when they
returned to an operating room
to find that a patient whom
they had left strapped to the
table had fled.
A nearby open window af-
forded the only means of exit
from the room except for the
door through which the doc
tors had left.
Later police returned the
patient to the hospital. Again
Strapping him to the table, the
doctors completed their opera
ton, without taking further
chances.
Walter Fleming, 35, of 314
East st. Clair street, was the
patient. Arrested for drunken
ness, he was sent to the hos
pital for treatment of an in
jured hand. His landlady, Mrs.
Irene Stewart, called police
when Fleming returned to the
house.

OhiO's Vote to Hoover,
Pledge of P. O. Chief

Brown will follow his customary
tactics of directing operations in Ohio
from behind the scenes, avoiding
the spotlight.
Browns attempt to repeat Hoo
ver's Ohio victory will take him on
frequent trips to the Buckeye state.
One is scheduled this weekend; he
will visit leaders in Toledo, his home
city.
Despite Hoover's 100000 margin
over Al Smith in 1928, Republican
Strategists are concerned over his
chances for repeating.
They are not discounting their re-
verses in 1880, when six Republican
congressman were deposed, and
Democrat candidates won the Sena-
torial and gubernatorial contests.
Brown directed the Hoover often
sive in Ohio four years ago.

William SChooIey, Almost
as Old as Indianapolis,
Recalls Old Days.

From the time Indianapolis was
eight years old, William c. Schooley,
1925 Villa avenue, has watched the
city grow.
Schooley 90, Friday. finished
celebrating his own anniversary to
begin observing the Tooth birthday
today of Indianapolis.
Born in a frame house on the
present site of the statehouse,
Schooley has seen the city change
from a struggling wide place in
the road" to its present size.
Schooley remembers how, after he
had been left an orphan at 6 and
had gone to live with his cousin Two
miles south of New Augusta, he
used to haul wood to an inn at Hi
nois and Washington streets.
THAT is the place we call the
CIaypool now" Schooley said.
81 used to help my uncle cut tim
ber," he said. THAT was the rea-
son I never got to go to school
much. We had only three months
Of classes, anyway.
''The state fair? It's great
thing. I remember it was the big
event of the year when we all got in
uncle's two-horse wagon and drove
to the fair. 1t was at Camp Sulli-
van then. We stayed all day and
never spent more than a dollar
Whisky was the chief drink,
Schooley said.
But we didn't have any liquor
problem. People drank, but they
didn't keep it up until they got
drunk. 1t just didn't go, that's all,
he said.

REDS OFF SCHEDULE
Soviet Industrial Plan Is
Falling Behind.
BB United Press

By United Press
MOSCOW, Sept. 3.-The Soviet
industrial program is suffering a
serious setback.
Official figures on industrial pro-
duction for the last six months dis
closed a growth of 1872 per cent,
as compared to the same period last
year, but the progress was far be-
low the schedule on which the gov
eminent plans to complete the
great f1ve-year plan in four and
one-quarter years.
The Kremlin had ordered an in
crease in production of Sc per cent,
but the failure to come up to this
schedule so far made it virtually
certain that the original estimate
can not be attained.

RULE OF LEGION
BY OLIGARCHY
National Committeeman Is
Bitter in DenunCiation
of Methods.

Charges of improper expenditure
of funds and characterization of ma
tional leaders of the American le-
gion as members of an "ohgarchy"
were made today in a published re-
port Of Raymond J. Kelly of De-
troit, national executive committee
man.
The report, containing the
charges, was approved two weeks
ago on the floor of the Michigan
state legion convention and its pub,
lication ordered.
Kelly, candidate for commander
of the legion, announced he will
carry the fight to the floor of the
national convention opening in
Portland, Ore, Sept. -.
I have been on the national exec

during that time I have learned
some things that would be amazing

said.

Which is eminently selfish. which is

the principle of the divine right Of
kings and to the imperialistic

legion, instead of being a "construc-

to contribute to a 100000 campaign

FARM BOARD HEAD IS
REAL CIGARET EXPERT
He Doesn't Care If They're MiIder'

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. - Most
high officials here are particular
about what they smoke. Andrew
w. Mellon taught Secretary of State
StimSon TO smoke tiny cigars.
But the man who knows more
than anybody else here about to-
bacco is James C. Stone, head of
the farm board
He was a Kentucky tobacco COM
mission merchant for years and
was founder, president and general
manager of the Burley Tobacco
Growers COOPERATIVE Association,
with 100000 members and handling
$50,00O,000 a year.
He'll smoke any kind of a cigaret
you happen to have. He buys IS
cent brands and doesn't care much
whether they are fresher, milder,
kindlier or pronounced best by sci
ence. If they burn, that's all he
asks.

GR|FFS, TIGERS
ALL EVEN
By GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. Is.
Now that the Griffs and Tigers
are even-stephen in wins and
losses for the season, each team
must win the remaining two
games to gain the lead for the
year.
The two clubs met 20 times
during the campaign.
The Griffs have great chance
to grab the series If they snap
out of their sudden losing streak.
Manager JohnSon's, men took it
on the nose for the second time
in as many days because Lefty
Lloyd Brown couldn't hold the
rollicking Tigers. The final score
was 8 to 3.
Chance for 18th Win
Brown had a chance to win
his sixteenth victory for the sea-
son as the Griffs batted out a
2 to 0 lead in the first inning,
but the left-hander was reached
for four hits and as many runs
in the lower end Of the frame,
and this rally proved the right
sort of incentive for the Tigers
to go out and win with plenty to
spare. ,
Three runs in the third clinched
affairs for the Tigers. In this
frame Brown was forced to re-
tire in favor of Dick Coffman.
Gehringer started the rally with
single to center. Stone followed
with a single to the same sector,
and then Brown gave White a
free ticket to first.
Wild Pitch
Coffman entered the picture
and proceeded to let go a wild
pitch which score Gehringer and
moved Stone and White up a
base. walkers foul fly to ManuSh
counted Gehringer while White
registered q moment later when
Rogen singled to right.
Coffman retired the Tigers
without a run for the next two
innings and then gave way tc
Luther (Bud) Thomas in the
sixth inning after Kerr had bat
ted for him in the opening por
ton of the frame. Weaver re
placed Thomas in the eighth and
the Tigers scored their final run
of the day off his offerings.

Flat of His Back

It commenced to dawn upon
his youthful mind that per.
haps this hero business isn't
all it is cracked up to be.
But still there he was. flat
Of his back and able to do
practically nothing whatsoever
about it.
Days passed, and nights, too,
and one gets tired looking at
the same doctors, say nothing
of nurses, day after day and
night after night, and Mr..
''Bus" Sheary was commenc-
ing to believe that nobody out
side of the doctors and nurses
cared whether he got well or
not.
Finally one Of the coaches,
or perhaps it was a teammate,
did drop in to inquire how
Mr.. BUS" Sheary was getting
along and it was a very sad,
bewildered and detected young
patient they gazed upon.
BY this time Mr.. BUS"
Sheary was almost able to
leave his bed, but his spirits
were very low and somewhat
impeding his physical recovery
because practically nobody
came in to cheer him up, ex-
cept, of course, those doctors
and nurses, and he was be-
ginning to get a little fed up
on them,
The Washington times., 1932-09-15

between Ouimet fresh from his
amazing 80 for nine holes against
Voight yesterday, establishing a
new championship record, and
Fischer, the upstart youth who
has come into this tournament
to create something of lasting
furore. He equalled the record
of Jones and D. Clarke Corkran
at 142 in the qualifying round,
then beat Lawson Little and Bob
Grant Soundly in the first two
rounds of match play yesterday.
Ouimet, barely qualifying with
four one-putt greens at the end OF
his round on Tuesday, shot the
greatest golf of any champion
ship yesterday when he was eight
strokes under even As for IS
holes against Voight and then
came up from the SurreptitiouS
rear to win from Sidney NoyeS
with a birdie 3 on the eighteenth
in the afternoon, sinking a 20
foot putt.
Mccarthy, very keen in this
tournament, ran the younger
generation right off the premises
yesterday in beating first Johnny
Parker and then Charley Yates,
the latter being more than q
little nonplussed by McCarthy's
record Of two under As for the
Is holes played. Yates himself
was 2 under As for the last six
holes, yet could make no impress
sion upon McCarthy's lead.
The Washington times., 1932-09-15

Thus when the days, and
nights too, passed in his hos
pital room and nobody much
came to see him outside Of the
doctors and nurses, Mr.. BUS"
Sheary had plenty of time to
do a lot of thinking about
this hero business.
The Washington times., 1932-09-15
Goes into Tantrum

So when one Of his cohorts
ultimately did deign. to drop
around to inquire as to his
general health, Mr.. BUS"
Sheary flew into something of
q frenzy which threatened for
Q time to throw him into a
decline, despite everything that
could be done by his visitor,
say naught of those darn doc
tors and nurses who were for
ever tiptoeing in and out o.
the room.
"What the devil" Mr.. ''Bus"
Sheary ultimately composed
himself sufficiently to say to his
caller. what is the big idea?
! amt no leper, y'u know. Why
hasn't somebody been up here
to see me?
''Where are all the newSpa-
per men? Where are all the
photographers?
Here I have been, practi-
calIy dying, and not a picture
in the paper of me prOpped
mp in bed taking treatment or
1AOuriShment, or anything.
''What the deuce, Bergman
only had a little appendicitis
operation and he gets a pic
ture, and here, Pm almost done
for, and not a tumble.
Babe Ruth got his fancy
pajamas in the papers, too.
"PhOne them newspaper guys
and get me a little action. If
/ could get a good sickrOOm
photograph printed, perhaps
I'D get some flowers and some
callers, particularly some fair
danes, for they always go in
for hero wOrshiping.
81 think it's a down right
shame, the way I've been
neglected, and those newspaper
men. around here must be a
lot of punkS, overlooking a
good picture Of me prOpped up
in bed. ....-....-
"Get me my clothes. I'm get
ting out Of here. There amt
NO more fun being sick any
more"
Yea, Mr.. "Bus" Sheary is a
very much diSilluSioned young
man.
