Wayne, South Bend and about
twenty-five other cities and towns

CITY REQUEST
FOR GASL0AN
$1O,191,000 to Purchase
Plant Here Likely to
Be Approved.

State advisory board of the Public
Works Administration announced
today that the application of the
Indianapolis Utility district to buy
the Citizens Gas Company for $10,-
1911 900 was sent to Washington to-
day for final approval.
Although there is no definite
stipulation in the application of the
Utility district to bring natural gas
into the city, The Times learned on
high authority that provisions will
be made to bring natural gas 20
indianapolis.
Announcement of the action,
which will mean municipal owner
ship of the local gas utility, if
Washington approves, was made
following a meeting Of the public
works board in the federal building
today.
The application approved by the
board today undoubtedly will be
adopted by the public works adj
ministration at Washington, it was
learned. Very few, if any, such ap-
plications are rejected, it was said
on good authority.
City to Retire Stock
Present at the meeting in the fed
eral building were L. G. Ellingham
and John M. Dyer, state board of
the public works administration.
Otto P. DeLuse, board chairman,
was not present when the an
nouncement was made.
The application of the utility dis
trict to the federal public works
board provides that $6,500000 pre-
ferred stock of the Citizens Gas
Company shall be retired by the city
in the purchase.
The action of the federal board
today marks the end of a twenty
five-year fight by indianapolis citi-
zens to obtain a municipality owned
gas plant.
$2,50O,0OO for Improvements
In 1905, when Thomas Sullivan,
father of the present Mayor

merger was effected whereby the
Citizens Gas Company acquired the
Indianapolis Gas Company under a
ninety-nine-year lease, which still
has seventy-one years to run.
In the petition of the utility dis
trict to the federal works board, the
city asked for $6,5OOOOO to retire
outstanding stocks and bonds of the
Citizens Gas Company.
A balance of $2,5OOOO0 will be

President Refuses to Take
Resignation Offered by
Secretary.
DEAN ACHESON QUITS
New Yorker Given Post by
Roosevelt; Boss Going

BIZ Thitcd Press

BU hiffd PRESS
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
President Roosevelt, in a
startling prOnouncement to-
day, named Henry MOrgen-
thau Jr., one of his Albany
proteges, as acting secretary
Of the treasury to take the
place of Secretary William H.
WOodin, who resigned because
of i'll health, but whose resig-
nation was not accepted.
simultaneously Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounCed that Dean AchesOn. under
secretary of the treasury, had re-
signed. effective Saturday, Nov. ID,
and that Mr.. Morgenthau, when
Mr.. Woodin returns, would assume
Mr.. AchesOns position.
While Mr.. WOodin's resignation,
because of i'll health, had been fire.
uuentlv rumored and again revived
this week, it was felt that due to
his vehement denials that they
were without foundation.
Hence the surprise occaSioned by
a letter of Oct. 81 asking that he
be relieved of cabinet duties to re-
gain his health.
Declines to Accept
The President, declining to accept
his resignation, asked him to take a
leave of absence which Mr. Woodin
will do without pay. He will go to
Arizona in about ten days, there to
put behind him all activities of gov
eminent until his doctors say he is
in fit condition to return.
Little or no explanation, however,
was given for Mr.. Acheson's decision
to retire from the government serv-
ice. He was looked upon as one of
the wheel horses of the treasury in
the frequent absence of the Secre-
tary.
In some quarters it was felt that
MS lack OF nnanClal experience was
one of the reasons prompting him
to retire to private life.
No less surprising. however, was
the rapid ascendency of Mr. Nor
genthau, at present governor of the
farm credit administration.
Long a Close Friend
He came here March 4 with Mr.
Roosevelt from Albany, where he had
served as state conservation COM
missioner. He is the son of Henry
Morgenthau Sr., who was ambaS-
Sador to Turkey during the Wilson
administration, and long has been
a close personal friend of the Roose-
veltS.
The President has not yet decided
who will fill Mr. Morgenthaus place
in the farm credit organization.
Many men have been brought for
ward from time to time as a possible
successor to Mr.. WoOdin, should he
resign, among them Robert E. Wood
of Sears Roebuck, Lewis Douglas.
budget director, and lately Mr.. Nor
genthau.

M'NUTT STILL
HOLDS GRIP ON
LEGISLATURE
Proof of Hold Is Shown at
Meeting Here of
Lawmakers.

Governor Paul v. McNutt still
dominates the Democratic side of
the state legislature, it was proven
today when only three from the
majority side voted against reso-
luton turning down the plan for
a special session.
The test came at the meeting of
legislators at the Claypool, where
the special session idea was dis
cussed for a period of two hours.
Eighteen McNutt appointed de-
partment heads and legislators con-
nected with the administration in
one way or another were on hand
to vote down promptly a resolution
by Representative Fred Galloway,
insurgent Democrat, that they be
barred from participation as inter
ested parties"
McNutt Will Take Charge
There were ninety present and
the McNutt group took complete
charge.
When the vote to turn down the
session came around, only the few
Republicans present, Mr.. Galloway
and Senator Thollie N. Druley
Richmond, disgruntled Democrat
who called the meeting, were found
on the opposing side.
The victory was the second in two
days for the Governor, who has been
in washington since Sunday and
will return to the statehouse tomor-
row.
Yesterday afternoon, DR.. Carleton
B. McCulloch, q McNutt choice, was
elected chairman of the Democratic
state committee to succeed r. Earl
Peters, who resigned to enter the
race for the nomination for the
United States senate.
The Boys Garry On
After Senator Druley stated the
purpose of the legislators meeting
today and Mr.. Galloway's plan to
eject the pay rollers" was turned
down, the McNutt group carried on.
They elected Speaker Earl CraW-
ford of the house as chairman and
Senator Ward Biddle, Bloomington,
secretary. Then Senator Leo x.
Smith, Indianapolis, called on Sena-
tor Jesse E. Wade, Mt. Vernon, to
sound the keynote.
It was then that tribute was paid
to the McNutt leadership and the
whole affair placed on matter of
party loyalty. The late President
Wilson and President Roosevelt
we're called upon to bear witness
that any detection to the state adj
ministration at this time would be
in the nature of G. o. P. plot.
Little Peril of Revolt
When the fiery senator got
through, it looked like the resolution
turning down the special session,
which has been introduced by Sen
ator Smith, would be adopted with
out debate.
But Senator Druley finally found
his feet and expressed his views and
the ice was broken.
At no time was there any danger
of revolt, however. and Senator
Jacob Weiss, Indianapolis, closed
the debate by citing the constitu-
tional provision that it is the pre-
negative of the Governor alone to
determine when a special session
call is necessary.
Only Senator George D. Miller
and Senator Chester A. Perkins, re-
signed, South Bend, joined with Mr..
Druley and Mr.. Galloway and the
G. o. P. members present in voting
against the McNutt stand that no
special session shall be called"

Get Jobs
Is Claim
Governor Makes Assertion
at Capital; Attends
Mass Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.
Eighty thousand jobless
persons in Indiana will be
given employment for the
next three months through
the civil works administra-
ton set-up, Governor Paul V.
McNutt estimated here today.
The Governor made his estimate
after attending a mass meeting OF
Governors, mayors and state and
county relief officers here today,
where Harry L. Hopkins, federal
civil works administrator, explained
President Roosevelts plan to give
jobs to 100000 persons in thirty
days.
This is the most comprehensive
plan that has come out of Wash
ington,' said Governor McNutt. 1T
eliminates red tape and provides for
direct and immediate action"
Mayor Reginald H Sullivan of In
dianapolis, who also attended the
conference on relief, said the plan
would give jobs to several thousand
persons now on the Indianapolis and
Marion county relief rolls.
Aid Offered Mayor
To get the Indiana work projects
underway as rapidly as possible,
Governor McNutt announced that
he would ask all Indiana county
and municipal relief officers to meet
in Indianapolis Friday at 2:30 p. m.
Mayor Sullivan offered the Indian
apoliS city council chamber as a
meeting place, but the Governor said
he would select meeting place
later.
While no fixed allotment will be
made for Indianapolis, Governor
McNutt said he believed approx
mately 100000 of new federal
money would be available for use
in Indiana, and that it would be
supplemented by state and local
funds.
''We in Indiana are all ready to
60" said the Governor. I'VE have
been several jumps ahead of the.
program, and we have our projects
mapped out in advance"
On all projects, financed by civil
works funds, the minimum Wage'
rate and maximum hours pre-
scribed by the public works admin
lstration must be observed, which
means that skilled labor can not be
paid less than $120 an hour and
unSkllled workers can not be paid
less than so cents an hour, and no
one can be worked more than thirty
hours week.
Hopeful of Levee Work
I hope some of this money can
be used to construct levees on the
banks of White rivers" the mayor
said. ALSO I believe that 2 part of
the money can be used repairing
streets and improving parks"
The mayor suggested also that
Pleasant Run boulevard in Indian
apolis might be extended from Me-
ridian street Bluff road and from
Garfield park to Prospect street.
The civil works funds expended
in Indiana primarily will be under
the jurisdiction of the state relief
commission headed by Fred Hoke.
Not all of the civil works projects
will be of character calculated to
employ unSkilled labor. Admin
istrator Hopkins said today that the
state and local relief leaders should
select some projects to employ en-
gineers, craftsmen, architects and
women.
Governor McNutt said he hoped
it would be possible to use some of
the money to give work to unem-
ployed school teachers by establish
ment of adult education courses.
