Nesting under the blue eagle, the
miners and coal operators of the
nation were seen today by John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, as being in the
most rational period Of the indus
try"
The only possible destruction Of
this -love-nest is the probable
demand by the 1000 delegates
meeting here tomorrow, in national
convention at Tomlinson hall, for
higher wages, and shorter hours.
Mr.. Lewis, who returned today
from Washington to head the con-
vention, said better working condi-
tions, shorter hours and increased
pay scales probably would be taken
up by the convention.
He pointed out that miners, OPP
orators and NRA officials will meet

Inland Bank Liquidation
Plan Approved by Court
Company and Two AffiIiateS
Settle Claims for so
Cents on Dollar.

Plan for ending receivershlp OF
the Inland Bank and Trust Com
pany and two affiliated firms,
through a settlement with creditors
of so cents on the dollar, today was
approved by Superior Judge John
w. Kern. The affiliated companies
are the Inland Investment Company
and Inland National Corporation.
At the time of its closing, Dec. "a
1881, the Inland bank had no de-
positors, its $298,000 deposits having
been sold to the State Savings &
Trust Company in April, 1929.
Two of the principal stockholders
and directors of the three COM
panies. Eugene c.. Shireman, Mar
tinsville, and William M. Bartlett
Jr., Indianapolis, are to pay the &C
tual cash settlements, according to
the plan.
The petition states they have OBJ
tanned waivers from the three other
directors, VINO also were creditors
and options and consent from two
of the principal creditors, the In
diana National bank, and Othniel
Hitch, receiver for the LeaseholderS
Realty Company, owners of the In
land bank building. H. Nathan
Swain, attorney, H. L. Clevenger, &C
countant, and the Inland National
Corporation, a holding company
held all shares in the bank except
the ninety shares required to be
held by directors.
Under today's agreement, Mr.
Hitch will dismiss his suit, based on
$1,000 claim of the Leaseholders
company. Principal creditor claim
is said to be the Indiana National
bank, with $4,000. All other claimed
are said to total only about $50.

SENATE STUDIES
MONETARY BILL
Bitter Debate Looms as
Obstacle to Quick
Passage of Bill.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's money program was
plunged into senate maelstrom to-
day. with indications that bitter de-
bate would delay passage for sew
eral days.
Driving for speed on the dollar
devaluation bill, the senate banking
and currency committee arranged
to complete hearings today with
the testimony of Owen D. Young
and Professor George Warren.
The Presidents money Dill
described by many in congress al
the most ,momentous piece o.
financial legislation Of the century
faces far different reception in the
senate than was accorded it In the
house.
The house, passing the measure
Saturday night with many of the
Democratic leaders frankly puzzled
over its ntents and significance
presented a picture of mass power
which assured the Democratic ad-
ministration Of prompt compliance
with it's policies.
The final vote, 800 to 40, founc
many Republicans rallying to the
cry of stand by the Presidents"
There was discussion over the
weekend of Republican filibuster
against the bill in the senate. Pro-
longed delay from this source ap-
peared unlikely, however. Senator
Carter Glass Dem., Va, a leading
opponent of the measure, is not
given to filibusters and takes the
attitude that the Democratic ma
iority is determined to pass the bill
and that prolonged resistance
would be futile.

been held "ruinous' to electric con-
sumers of the city by utility experts.
Another article in the series re-
vealed that alleged promises" OF
lower rates made at the time OF the
merger by a former and less con-
scientious public service commission,
were a myth.
In these purported promises,
economy of operation with lowered
expenses due TO the elimination OF
duplication and consequent lowered
rates were practically pledged city
consumers, according to Mr.. Min
ton. in the obvious haste of in
terested parties to effect the merger.
Dividends Are Studied
Subsequent to the merger, The
Times revealed, revenues of the light
company are alleged to have in
creased only 1905 per cent while
expenses scared 22.66 per cent.
Allegations of exorbitant amounts
of money paid by consumers and
used to swell fiat" dividends while
expenditures for depreciation
mounted steadily were made by Mr..
Minton and other investigators.
An alleged excess charge of $780,
600 in the reports to the public
service commission by the light
company next was dealt with. Util-
ity experts consulted by The Times
declared that the Kentucky avenue
and West washington street plants
are allegedly useless and obsolete"
and a burden to consumers.
A study of the light company re-
ports to the commission revealed,
according to Mr.. Minton. the exist
ence of an alleged financial burden
/ to consumers left by insult before
| his haSty departure to Greece, in
/ the form of an alleged contract by
which the light company pays twice
/ as much as necessary for current
purchased from an insult concern.
Consumers Taxed, Is Claim
Indianapolis consumers, it is al
legged, also are taxed for the man
ner in which the light company
buys its coal A study of the reports
of the company to the commission
and a comparison of the market
price of coal reveals. according to
utility experts, that the light COM
pay is paying so cents ton for
coal in excess of the market price.
This expense, like many others,
eventually is Shouldered by the util-
mate consumer, according to utility
experts.
A salary slash for general office
clerks of the indianapolis Power
and Light Company amounting to
more than $4,000 in 1882 is alleged
to have been given while the general
officers of the company increased
their budget by $4,000. This in
formation is alleged to have been
cleaned from the light company's
own reports to the public service
commission.
Alleged exorbitant charges for
overhead expenses, alleged over
capitalization of the company's
bonds and preferred stocks. alleged
losses on Sidelines like the electric"
shop and the items ON "merchan-
disc sales" as we'll as the alleged
puzzling entries regarding radio sta
ton WFBM, were also considered in
the series.
A countrywide study of the util-
ity rates in twelve largest cities in
the country made by the New York
public service commission revealed
that Indianapolis electric consumers
are paying residence power rates in
excess of New York. Philadelphia,
Buffalo and other large cities, &C

The bankers father, Adolph Bre-
mer, wealthy brewer and credited
with being the first to predict the
election of his close friend, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was reported
weakening before the insistence of
federal, state and city authorities
that they be allowed to turn their
eighty-odd agents loose in a search.
The word to "go" was lacking,
however. 1t was understood Mr..
Bremers original plea had been for
official recognition of the crime to
be withheld until Tuesday night, to
give his sons captorS ample time to
contact again for 100000 ransom.
Police Also Active
Minneapolis police also became
active and commenced a general
roundup" of police characters, in
tending to question them regard
ing underworld gossip regarding
the kidnapping.
One of the first results was the
apprehension of a diSbarred st.
Paul lawyer, who returned to st.
Paul from Denver about two weeks
ago. After questioning for about
two hours, he was released without
announcement.
A truck with a Mankato (Minn)
license plate was sought by st. Paul
and Minneapolis police this morn
ing after receipt of report that
the machine was carrying the prone
body of a man. The rumor was
broadcast over police radio systems,
but little credence was placed in it.
Editor Is Summoned
Police Commissioner John Nc
Donald of st. Paul, as an outgrowth
of the kidnapping, summoned How
ard Kahn, editor of the st. Paul
Daily News, before him today for a
summary hearing on Mr.. Kahn's
charges that the police department
is inefficient, and hampered by in
fuence and politics.
Mr.. Kahn refused to testify with
out assurance that the hearing
would be open and complete and the
proceedings was adjourned until
Saturday, with Mr.. Kahn holding
himself open to private conferences
with Mr.. Mcdonald in the mean
time.
