War! War! Reared Headlines in

NTORK stopped in offices.
w Ticker tape in brokerage
offices was neglected. Each paper
had more than its quota of
readers.

President Wilson'S life. No use

Nick rested for awhile at the

FREED: VIOLATES LAW
AGAIN.: GETS HIS BIT
Judicial Leniency May Be Appre-
ciated Now by Cab Driver.

Judicial leniency apparently is
something not appreciated by AL
bert Burton, Negro, 80, of 1926
North Capitol avenue.
Burton was fined $50 and costs
and sentenced to thirty days on
the state farm and sentenced s25
and costs on charges of failure to
have taxicab insurance and failure
to have a city license. Municipal
Judge William H. Sheaffer suspend
ed both judgments Wednesday in
court four on Buttons promise to
obtain both before he operated lis
cab again.
A few hours after Burton got out
of court, Captain Otto Ray and pa
trolman Carl Ashley arrested him
at Sixteenth street and Capitol av-
enue, again operating his cab with
out benefit of either license or in
Surance.
Sheaffer revoked both suspensions
today, SO Burton is facing two
heavy fines and state farm visit.

Bryan'S Daughter Finds She
Can Afford to Take
Denmark Berth.

BIZ Hitcd Press
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Ruth
Bryan Owen, whose appointment as
minister to Denmark is expected to
be announced soon, was afraid for
time that the expense of a diplo-
matte post would prevent realization
of her ambition to be America S first
woman envoy.
When Mrs. Owen first asked for
an estimate of the expense involved
in a ministership at Copenhagen,
the reply quoted a figure far in eX-
cess of anything she could afford
Sadly, she turned away from the
dream of diplomatic triumphs.
But all that is changed now. A
mySteriously revised estimate of the
cost of living in Denmark did it. The
new figure was within her means,
and she notified the administration
of her willingness to accept the post
Ambition Seemed Fooled
series of events, it appears that a
faction in the state department did
not look with favor upon Mrs
Owens first intimation of a desire
to go to Denmark.
Whether that had anything to dc
with the report on the excessive
cost of the position is uncertain
But for the time being it appeared
to have headed off her appointment
Mrs. Owen had to be cared for
in the new administration, however
Her campaign speeches to women
had been effective and vote COM
polling.
A job in the interior department
was suggested. Mrs. Owen vetoed it
She still wanted to work for the
state department.
Change of Front Comes
The unfriendly faction in the de-
partment heard of Mrs. Owens de.
termination. A sudden change Of
front developed
The cost of living was declining
almost everywhere-why not il
Denmark?
Files were consulted, records
drawn up, fresh information wa;
solicited from Copenhagen. The
result showed that one could livt
there for an almost unbelievably low
amount.
Mrs. Owen was delighted. In 6
short time she will be madame
minister"

CITY DRIVE TO
SLASH UTILITY
RATES STARTS
Civic Clubs League to Fight
for Reduction; Gas
Is Exempted.
COM MISSION ASSAILED
Adults and AppraiSaIS Will
Be Demanded by
lrate Group.

City-wide movement to reduce all
utility rates, except those of the
Citizens Gas Company, was started
today by the central committee Of
the South Side Civic Leagues.
Delegates Of twelve civic clubs,
comprising the central committee,
voted Wednesday night to partic-
ipate in a permanent organization
of all civic leaders and consumers
to fight for lower rates.
It's a problem no longer con-
fined to civic organizations. We
must form an organization of all
classes Of consumers" Walter c.
Rothermel. center committee chair
man, asserted.
Committee to Meet Mayor
A committee was appointed to
confer with Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan and other city officials regard
ing present status of the gas COM
pany
Rothermel urged that gas COM
pany rates be included in the drive
but John F. White. resolution
author, argued the gas company
soon may become property of the
city.
within two weeks, the city-wide
organization to prosecute a utility
rate reduction campaign will be
formed" Rothermel told delegates
Attacking the newly formed pub
lie service commission, he said that
Sherman Minton, the commissions
public counselor, had stated 1t
was the commissions aim to reduce
all rates arbitrarily"
Asks Chance for Commission
White contended the commission
should not be criticised, yet, but
should be given opportunity to prove
itself"
Il told Minton that audits and
appraisals of all utility properties
should be made by the commission"
Rothermel asserted,
"Minton's reply was he con-
tinued, that it could not be done,
because it would cost too much and
require too much time.
People will not stand for such
replies from the public service COM
mission. They are going to demand
audits and appraisals and reduction
of utility rates.
IF we permit them to tell us that
they can't do anything after one
month in office, what will they be
telling us at the end of four years?"
he asked delegates.
Speakers flayed Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company officials for their
reported stand that phone rates
