pute Postponed; Court
Action Hinted.

The indianapolis Gas Co. and
the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility
today signed an agreement, in effect
postponing settlement of a rental
dispute and limiting of litigation.
The dispute began last Sept. 9

of the gas company and found that
the old company had been paying
indianapolis Gas Co. more than
100000 year rental for 60 per cent
of the distribution system and one
plant.
The new agreement provides that,
pending a settlement in or out of
court, the utility district will pay
Immediately the semi-annual inter-
est on outstanding bonds of the In
dianapolis Gas Co. due March 80
and amounting to $171,575.
If the stand-still agreement con-
tinues through other semi annual
bonds interest payment, the city is
to place amounts equal to the pay
ment in escrow to be divided even
tually as the court or an agreement
dictates.
The city also is to pay all NUM-
cipal, county and state taxes, Fed
eral and Indiana gross income
taxes, and premiums on insurance
policies on Indianapolis Gas Co.
property. These are to be paid
outright by the city for as long as

Approximately $4,000 aged resi-
dents of Indiana eventually are to
receive pensions ranging from SIS to
$50 a month, contingent on the &C
ton taken by the General Assembly
in the special session starting Tues
day.
The word eventually" is used
because there now is no certainty
as to when pension payments to
certain classif1cations of aged per-
sons are to start.
So-called model legislation pre-
pared by joint legislative ccnl-
mittee calls for payment to persons
65, starting July l, 1888. There is
rapidly growing movement among
members of both houses to start
the 65-year schedule a year earlier
--on July /, 1887 The issue prob
ably will be fought out in the extra
session.
Persons 20 Aided Now
Indiana now has an old-age pen
sion law which provides for pay
ments to persons 10 or older. TIC
obtain millions of dollars in Federal
aid, it must start paying on the
65-year basis by 1910. The cost to
the state, therefore, is a question
and dependent on whether more
persons are to benefit during 1897.
Taking 1890 Federal census figures
as a guide, it is estimated there
are approximately $4,000 persons ir
Indiana between 65 and SO, in
elusive. There now are approx
mately $4,000 persons on the pension
rolls, or eligible to be placed or
them, under the present state law
calling for payments to persons II
or older.
If the same proportion or the
$500 population is eligible to pen.
sions, the total number of Federal
state and county pension aid re.
cipients would be raised to approx.
mately $4,000, it is estimated.
Some estimates of the increased
number of eligibles under $3.50
year classification reach $4,000,
Pensions Are 20 Vary
The pensions to be paid under thu
Federal aid setup are to vary &C,
cording to the individuals needs
Thus, the cost of the undertaking
can be determined only by figuring
from average pension figures arbi

ROME, March 2.-Premier Benito
Mussolini brought his threats to
leave the League of Nations and
denounce the Locarno Treaty into
the open today as League leaders
met at Geneva to consider new pen
alties against Italy for it's war on
Ethiopia.
This time. as he has done fire.
quently in the past, Mussolini used
as his medium of expression, his
own newspaper, Popolo D'Italia of
Milan.
An editorial which many people
believed came from Mussolini him
self warned directly that a league
policy of super sanctionism" might
lead to denunciation of the Locarno
pact and to Italy's resignation from
the League.
Under the Locarno treaty, Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and
Germany guarantee the present
German-Belgian-French frontiers
It is considered perhaps the most
important single treaty in Europe.
Super sanctionism," the edi-
torial said, could lead to the destruc-
ton not only of the League itself
but of Locarno and "other interna-
tional obligations" in which Italy is
partner.

the reprieve statement was
called to his attention, that he
would not fight such a move
if it is made.

as being ready to go to court to

of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.
According to constitutional au-

tempt by Gov. Harold Hoffman to
extend the life of the condemned
slayer.
There have been frequent rumors
that high Democratic politicians
were interested in permitting the
Governor to run his own course on
the Hauptmann case in the hope
that it will increase dissension in
the Republican Party in this presi-
Dental year.
Hoffman is Republican; Wilentz
Democrat.
The conference was called to dis
cusS the attacks of the Governor on
the complicated structure of guilt
erected about Hauptmann at his
trial in Pennington a year ago. In
a series of statements, Hoffman
has challenged the credibility of i'm

Of the case has been assailed by
Hoffman as "bungling," refused to

demands for the perjury indictment
of Willard Whited, mountaineer,
who testified he saw Hauptmann
near the Lindbergh estate previous
to the kidnapping.
When the conference broke up Col.
Schwarzkopf announced he would
write the Governor this afternoon
in reply to a letter from Gov. Hoff-
