Herman C. Morgan, city
health commissioner.
approximately 10000 children will
be vaccinated against diphtheria and
approximately 10000 against small
pox, according to Dr. Morgan's es-
Inmates.
Fourteen children, ranging in age
from 2 to 10 years, have died thus
far this year from diphtheria in
contrast to death rate of six last
year, DR.. Morgan said.
Where the family of pre-school
age children are able to pay for the
vaccination, they will be instructed
by the canvassers to have the work
done by the family physician.
If the family is unable financial
ly to pay for the protection, the
children will be taken to neighbour
hood physicians, who have voIun-
teered their services, and vaccinated
by them with antitoxin furnished by
the state health board.
CanvaSsers will be paid with
funds obtained from the civil works
administration.
DR.. Morgan said approximately
5000 children in the city schools
had been vaccinated by the school
physicians prior to the reductions

Hourly Temperatures

Snow flurries tonight or tomor-
row, with slight moderation in the
cold wave gripping the city by to-
morrow, was forecast today for In
dianapoliS by the weather bureau.
The mercury touched IL early to-
day, 2 degrees lower than it reached
yesterday morning. A subzero wave
originating in north central Canada
yesterday missed Indiana, sweeping
over the lake region and bringing
below zero weather to the New Eng
land and st. Lawrence regions.
Boston reported 16 below zero this
morning, the coolest weather in
sixty-two years, said j. H. Arming-
ton, meteorologist.
Lowest temperature reached to-
night is expected to be between Is
and 20 degrees. There is no indica-
ton at this time that snow flurries
tonight or tomorrow will be heavy,
said Mr.. Arlington.
Slowly rising temperature to-

$4,000 LOSS
IN PLANT FIRE
TWo-AIarm Blaze Sweeps
City Packing Firm
Early Today.

A second-alarm fire early today
swept a portion of the Brown
Brothers packing plant, $3.50 West
Ray street, causing damage esti-
mated by company officials at
$4,000.
Heavy fire doors throughout the
plant and quick work by firemen
confined the flames to the two
story rear building at the plant,
and prevented its spread to the CT
flee section of the plant.
The fire was discovered at SOB
a. m. by Nicholas Gehl, 1912 Rich
land street, night engineer.
He telephoned an alarm to fire
headquarters.
The entire section of the building
was blazing fiercely when f1remen
arrived on the scene.
Chief Harry E. Voshell arrived
shortly after the firemen were sum-
moned and took personal charge of
the fire-fghting efforts.
Eight streams of water were
played on the flames, flooding the
plant. Water stood on the main
floor to depth of nearly foot in
most places, but was prevented by
waterproof flooring from reaching
the meat storage section in the
basement.
Coolers in the basement are air
tight and waterproof, and we're not
damaged by smoke or water, per-
hitting the company to fill all
orders.
Chief Voshell said a preliminary
survey led him to believe the fire
resulted from defective wiring, as
the section where the fire started is
some distance from the heating
plant.

DELICATE OPERATION
ON BRAIN OF INFANT
GIRL is SUCCESSFUL
By United Press

~ HtteN Press
BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 29-
Surgeons at Johns Hopkins hospital
today successfully removed a brain
obstruction which had threatened
the life of ve-months-old Sue
Trammel Of Houston, Tex.
The child was rushed here by air
plane early in the week for the
delicate operation, which was
performed by DR.. Walter R. Dandy,
world-famous brain specialist.
Hospital authorities described the
child's condition as good, but ex-
planned that the ultimate outcome
of the operation could not be fore
told at this time.
The operation, one of the most
difficult known to medical science,
required about two hours.
The obstruction which was re-
moved had caused condition
known as hydrocephalus, or water
on the brain. This malady was fatal
to another child in the Trammel
family several months ago.

ADAMS IS PUT
ON The SPOT
Road Chief Reported Next
to Feel Ak of M'Nutt
Clan.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

Chairman James D. Adams of the
state highway commission is report
ed today to be next "on the spot"
in the effort of Governor Paul v.
McNutt to enforce machine like
political discipline at the statehouse.
With the Governor in Florida,
Pleas Greenlee, his patronage secre-
tary, dismissed Mrs. Josephine Will
liams, Mooresville, Seventh district
Democratic vice chairman, from the
automobile license bureau where
she has been employed for several
years.
Dismissal notice was given Mrs.
Williams at p. M, yesterday by
Frank Finney, head of the license
department. He said there was no
complaint regarding her work.
Predicted by Times
That the political ak would fall
was predicted by The Times two
months ago, when Mrs. Williams
supported R. Earl Peters, Their
Democratic state chairman, in his
fight with the Governor over 20 pei
cent club" collections.
1t was delayed at that time until
the heat dies down." it was re-
ported.
In the interim, Mr.. Peters has re-
signed the Craftsmanship and opened
his campaign for the nomination
for the United States senate. AT
the opening meeting in FIT. Wayne
two weeks ago, Mr.. Adams was one
OF the speakers.
Finney Is Mentioned
Since that time, rumblings of his
possible dismissal have been heard
at the statehouse and Mr. Finney
has been mentioned as a successor
Mr.. Finney comes from Martins
vile, the Governors home town.
According to one of the McNutt
lieutenants, the Adams matter has
been formally discussed.
1T isn't likely to happen now
he commented. But should we de-
eide to get back of some candidate
for the senate against Mr.. Peters
100 per cent and Mr.. Adams con-
tinued openly to support Mr.. Peters
there might be conflict"
Will Do as He Pleases
That Mr.. Adams will do as he
pleases politically is generally con-
coded. He is publisher of a news
paper at Columbia City and cham
pion of freedom of both speech and
press.
His Craftsmanship of the COM
mission has resulted in building up
a relief program through road work,
features of which have been adopted
by the federal administration.
Dismissal of Mrs. Williams has
aroused the ire of the Democratic
women generally, as she is rated as
an outstanding organizer.
Mrs. A. P. Flynn, Logansport,
ce-chairman of the Democratic
state committee, expressed surprise
and Indignation at the move.

Issuance of the order today
eliminates eight months OF
extensive investigation by The
Times, which turned its find
ings over to the commission
A copy of the order, attested by
Pete H. Dawson, secretary of the
commission, was ordered delivered
to the sheriff of Marion county with
directions to serve it upon the
proper officers of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company.
Date of the hearing to show why
electric rates in this city should not
be reduced was set for 10 a. M, Feb
l, by Mr.. Minton.
In his petition for the order, Mr.
Minton charged that the fair valua-
ton of the property Of the utility
has been written up by at least
$24,OOO0O0.
Charges Valuation Unfair
1.-THE public counselor the pc
>tition reads. lis of the opinion, ano
on information and belief, alleges
that the fair valuation Of the prop
erty of said utility, used and useful
in supplying electricity to the pub
lie as aforesaid, is not to exceed
s35, 100000.
THAT said utility carries this
property on its books as costing the
utility approximately $50, 000,o of
which at least $24,000,0O0 thereof is
composed of write-ups disguised as
capital surplus and otherwise. and
represents no value
Following the charges of alleged
write-ups in the valuation OF the
property, the order of the public
service commission to the company
states:
That the gross income of said
utility for the year 1882 was ap-
proximately SO OPS 900; that the gross
income for the first ten months of
100000 for the corresponding period
1888 was $2,250,000, as against ST.
of 1882.
Decline Tapered off"
THAT there was a sharp decline
in the revenues Of this company in
the earlier months of 1888 over the
corresponding months of 1882, which
decline tapered off until the reve-
nueS in June, 1888, and each sue
ceeding month thereafter have ex-
ceeded the corresponding months OF
1882 up to and including October
1888, the last month available to
the investigators Of the commission
with whom the public counselor has
consulted, and, from the trend of
the revenues since June, 1888, to Oc-
tober, 1888, the last two months of
1888 will, in his opinion, equal, or
exceed, those of 1882.
That the charge to operating eX-
penses for annual depreciation made
by this utility is grossly excessive in
the light of the annual charges made
this fund and the healthy
reserve accumulated and now car
ried on the books of this company
at approximately $11,238,638.
THAT the charges to operating
expense of payment to the Utilities
Power and Light Corporation, the
company of this utility, for
alleged services rendered by the
holding company, upon an analysis
will be found to be grossly excessive
and unwarranted, and, therefore,
upon proper adjustment Of the an

and the focusing Of all detail on the
wide shoulders leaves the novelty of
the coat almost completely to the ma
terial, especially in sports effects.
Many Of the coats Adrian has done
for Marion Davies and for Elizabeth
Allan are Of heavy wool lined with
lighter wool.
And there Is a decided return to
fringe. One of the costumes which
Adrian has designed for Madge Evans
has fringe not only on the dress and
coat but more of 1t on the tiny hat
which tops the costume.
Hats will remain small so long as
the interest of the garment centers in
the shoulders. You can't have huge
shoulders and great broad-brimmed
hats at the same time and keep from
laughing yourselves to death.
But in these garments where the
chic is away from the shoulders-well
down into the sleeves, as it has become
in many cases-the interest will center
in the wider-rimmed hat and many
women will welcome them back. To
my mind nothing in the world is so

sane caps Of this year and the elab-
crate attention to coiffures they de-
manded.
