SHOWDOWN OF PRICES
OF STEEL RAILS SEEN
Facts to Be Shown at Forthcoming
Hearing on Industry Code.

By Scripps- Ho,odrd Newspaper AHiance
WASHINGTON, July 8. - The
showdown on maintenance of steel
rail prices may come when General
Hugh johnson holds hearings on
the forthcoming code of fair prac-
tees for the steel industry.
For these hearings he will be sup
piled with all the information
gathered by the department of JUS
tice in it's investigation of this price
pegging which has existed over a
long period of years.
Attorney-Ge Homer Cum
mings also has announced that the
facts likewise will be available to
Joseph Eastman, federal co-ordina-
tor of railroads, who termed the
steel rail price maintenance stupid
ity' in a recent decision as an in
terstate commerce commissioner.
Although there was a small de-.
crease in these prices about a year
ago, steel rail costs have been pegged
at a practically stationary figure,
while all other commodities have
fluctuated sharply.
In reply to an inquiry, Cummings
said that the steel rail price inves-
tigation, which was begun by his
Republican predecessor after COM
plants by Senator James Couzens
(Rep., MichD, had slowed up.

TRIO HOLDS UP
BUILDING FIRM;
MISS PAY ROLL
Take SIS From Manager;
Hugh Mex. Landon
Also Victim.

Police were searching today for
three young bandits who held up the
Leslie Coleman Construction Com
pany, 840O Spring Mill Road, Friday
afternono, missing large payroll
by only about three minutes.
They obtained about $75 from Roy
Mobley, 1887 West Thirty-fourth
street, manager, and also robbed
Hugh NICK. Landon, we'll known
capitalist and philanthropist and
Fletcher Trust Company vice-presi-
dent, of valuable gift watch.
Menacing Landon, Mobley and
workers with shotguns, the bandits
tore a telephone from a wall and
demanded the pay roll Told the
pay roll just had been distributed
among about 100 workers, the
bandits then robbed the banker and
company manager.
One bandit remarked they had
been watching The office for some
time. The Coleman company is
building new country home for
Landon on the Spring Mill road and
Landon had stopped to talk to
Mobley about the construction.
One Of the bandits, who had re-
manned on guard in their car, waved
shotgun menacingly at Curtis
Scott, foreman, and several workers
when he thought they intended to
prevent the holdup.
The bandits, whom police believe
to be the same trio that recently
held up Eatons restaurant, the
Methodist hospital pharmacy and
several other places, fled in a car
stolen earlier in the afternoon from

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Investi-

the Sherman antitrust law, which
were in "languid" state on
March 4, now are being pushed
with energy and determination ac-
cording to Attorney General Homer

The departments antitrust di-

Utah judge and more recently an

out to prove that sunlight had

Copenhagen, thought, was prepos-

DUT in the fall of that year,

put patients in rooms screened
with heavy red curtains. He shut
out the ultra violet. With red
blankets he kept infection out of
the victims blisters.
Still, this was a negative result.
Shutting out light hardly proved
that letting in light could in other
cases be beneficial. Yet that was
exactly what Finsen was contend
ing. The unseen, ultra violet rays,
he believed, could be as helpful in
some diseases as they were irri-
tating in the smallpox wards.
He tried to convince the strick-

INDIANA HOME

ARE SELECTED
Van NuyS Chooses Ap-
praiSerS and Attorneys
for 81 Counties.
BY WALKER STONE
Times Special Writer


WASHINGTON. July 8.-Senator
Frederick Van NuyS today an
nounced the names of the men he
has recommended for appointment
as home loan attorneys and APP
praisers in the ninety-two Indiana
counties.
1t is understood that tentative
approval has been given by the
federal home loan bank board to
all of Senator Van Nuy's recon-
mendations.
In all counties except Marion,
the attorneys and appraisers we're
chosen by the senator in collabora-
ton with the Indiana members of
the house of representatives.
Appointment of a state manager
was not announced. Several men
are being considered for the berth.
Adolph Seidensticker, Indianap-
oils lawyer, is the personal choice
of Senator Van Mugs for the posi-
ton of home loan attorney for Ma
rion county. and Frank Viehmann.
indianapolis real estate man. like
wise was picked personally by the
senator to be home loan appraiser
for Marion county.
Rebuke To Ludlow
Senator Van Nuys is in Michigan
on a vacation, but at his office TO-
day it was said that the senator
made the Marion county selections
without consulting Representative
Louis Ludlow or Representative Will
liam H. Larabee, because Indian
apolis is the senator's home city.
However, the senator's action gen.
orally is construed as a rebuke to
Representative Ludlow, who repre-
sents the western half of Marion
county, and whose votes in the re-
cent special session Of congress
against certain administration
measures diSpleased the senator and
other leaders of the Indiana Demo-
cratic organization.
Representative Larabee represents
Hancock and Madison counties and
the eastern half of Marion county.
Representative LarabeeS wishes
were consulted in the appointments
in Hancock and Madison counties.
In releasing the list of names, it
was said at Senator Van Mugs office
that the senator wanted to express
his appreciation of the cooperation
of Indiana congressman"
Some Not Qualified
A few of the recommendations Of
house members were eliminated.
Some of these nominations, it is be-
lieved, were not satisfactory to the
senator and the party organization,
and others, it is known, were re-
jected by the Federal Home Loan
Bank board as being not qualified
for the positions.
The county home loan appraisers
and attorneys will be paid on fee
basis. The present plan is to allow
a fee of S. for each appraisal to
both the county appraiser and at
torney, the fee to be paid by the
home owner who applies for loan.
Applications for loans under the
home owners loan law will not be
considered on homes valued in ex-
cess of $4,000, and loans will be
made only to home owners in dis
tress and unable to finance their
mortgages elsewhere.
1t is estimated that for period
of two or three years, the Marion
county appraiser and attorney will
earn fees averaging in the neigh
borhood of $500 to $400 a month.
In many of the rural counties, it is
estimated, fees to attorneys and ap-
praisers will average less than $40
a month.
