Utility Board Setup Played
in Magazine Article by
Ex-ProfeSSor.

Charge that political preference"
rather than qualifications dictated
appointments to the Indiana public
service commission, is made in the
current issue of the Public Utilities
Fortnightly.
The magazine contains the official
reports Of activities OF commissions
throughout the country.
Criticism of the present Indiana
setup is contained in an article
written by Hubert R. Gallagher.
former assistant professor of po-
litical science at Stanford univer-
sity, and now research conSultant
for the American Legislators Asso-
citation, Chicago.
In a survey of recent commission
changes, he says.
Number Is Reduced
"a public utility measure that re-
ceived the full approval of Cover
nor Paul McNutt of Indiana was
the recently enacted Chapter SO of
the public service commission acts
of 1888.
Chapter SO does away with the
five-member commission and Gre
ates in it's stead a three member
commission.
1.-THE members of this commission
will serve four years rather than
six, and will receive a yearly COM
pensation of $4,000.
Indiana, at the same time, joins
the ranks of those states which
have a public counselor. Under
the terms of the act the public
counselor will be appointed by the
Governor and hold office at his
pleasure.
Heed Political Cry
This measure was favored by the
Indiana League of Municipalities
and others who desired new deal
in utility regulation.
However, McNutt, needing the
cries Of deserving party workers, has
appointed a commission experienced
in politics, but lacking in other
qualifications"
McNutt appointees are Chairman
Perry Mozart, Paoli, one-time coun-
sci for the Monon railroad and long
time Democratic cohort of the late
Senator Thomas Taggart; Samuel
Trabue, mayor of Rushville and
head of the Municipal League, both
Democrats, and Mole Cook, LoganS-
port, Republican.

A number of the other insane

Railbirds, who have been viewing
the harness racing finishes ana
vaudeville programs along the fence
at-both ends of the fair grandstand,
without paying the reduced grand
stand admission fee of 25 cents,

While they were straining their
eyes Tuesday to see the finish Of
an exciting race, fair attendants
began stretching a canvas curtain
in front of the fence, cutting off the
view.
Protests were unavailing, and bet

anticipated today by fair officials.

SELLING OF RAILS
| HALTS STOCK RISE
TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SELLING
Rally Checked in Last Hour
as Carrier Issues Are
Freely Offered.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, April 5.-A vigorous
rally in today's stock market was
checked by last-hour weakness In the
railroad shares.
Industrials and utilities closed higher,
but not at their best. Railroad stocks
were irregular. with that part Of the
list unsettled by the selling in Chicago
& Northwestern securities and the SYM
pathetic reaction in Union Pacific,
which is SO heavily interested in North
western.
Both classes of Chicago & North
western stock went into new low ground.
That roads general As, stamped" an
inactive issue. sold down "a points from
the last previous sale In the bond mar
ket.
At one time stocks were I'D 2.
and more points, with special strength
in Allied Chemical and American Tele-
phone. Steel, sugar and metal shares
were actively bought.
Commodities were strong as q rule.
Wheat closed cent and q quarter
higher. New highs were made for
rye and for corn. Sugar futures con-
for the discordant note in the railway
bond and share market, the day would
have been heartening one to the
optimists.
The market opened fractionally high
er and increased its gains during the
morning, with larger turnover than
In recent sessions. Short covering
came into American Telephone, Con-
solidated Gas, Allied Chemical and
otner stocks in which large commit
ments for the decline were outstanding.
Among the items that cheered the
street the most important was the an
nouncement that the President had in
Wted Primes Minister Macdonald OF
Great Britain to visit Washington and
discuss war debts and the general eco
nomic situation. This news was an
onset to the dread felt by traders re-
garding the various congressional inves-
tlgatlons In progress and yet to be
begun.
The trade news was also better to-
day. Electric output was of only So
percent on the week against a decline
OF l0.6 per cent week ago. The Iron
Age reported that the steel industry was
operating at 162 per cent of capacity
against Is per cent last week. More
over, automobile output was said to be
! increasing satisfactorily
The sugar shares were again the
leaders In today's market. All the ac-
tive issues made new highs, including
american Sugar Refining and South
Puerto Rico. Some of these issues were
apparently under pool sponsorship. but
they attracted enough outside support
to break through the former resistance
point on the upside The commodity
also advanced into new high ground
today.
Tnere was furry Of buying in the
steer snares during the morning. United
states steel preferred ran up a point
or Two and the low-priced National
Steel jumped point between sales
The latter is the only steel COMPANY
stlll paying dividends on its common
stock
