Need for Natural Gas Not
Affected by Cut,
Asserts Atkins.
ARTIFICIAL OUTPUT HIT
Reduction Mere Drop in
Bucket Says President
of Saw Works.

The reduction in rates does
not materially affect the in
dustrial need for natural gas
in Indianapolis, Henry C. At
kins, president of E.. c. At
kins & Co., said today.
Mr.. Atkins is leading the fight of
the Indianapolis Federation of Com
munity Civic Clubs for natural gas
in this city
1.-THE rate reduction is q mere drop
in the bucket, when you consider the
industries that would like to have
straight natural gas at half the price
paid for city. gas" he said.
Mr.. Atkins pointed out that nat
ural gas contains twice as many
British thermal units as artificial
gas.
In a Federation report last week,
Mr. Atkins stated: II believe that
natural gas provided for Indianapo-
lis industries would prove a. prof1ta
BILE undertaking for the Citizens Gas
and Coke Utality."
Thomas l.. Kemp, Citizens Gas
and Coke Utility general manager.
on the other hand, pointed out that
if further economies can be made
as expected, the new price will have
an effect on whether or not natural
gas is desirable in the city
Rates Up Now. They Say
Observers of the natural gas sit
uation in indianapolis said today
that even with the scent cut on
each 1000 cubic feet in artificial gas,
the price was higher than it would
be if there was natural gas in the
city.
They said that the city now prob
ably would have to pay between 10
and 20 cents each 1000 cubic feet
more at the city gates than it would
have had to pay two to three years
ago when there was agitation for
bringing natural gas to the city.
Even so. they say. there are cities
in this area which now get natural
gas for between SIS and so cents
each 1000 cubic feet.

BY ARCH STEINEI,

Claude F.. Shower, who Fri
day withdrew from the race
for Democratic nomination as
Sheriff. today said that he
may re-enter the race if he
gets organization support.
When he withdrew he said the
reason was he did not have organ
izstion support.

whether the county organiza ton

ton took him. They know his rec
ord. Anyway, where does Shower
get the idea that he is an organiza-
ton man? He ran for sheriff three
times and got beat and then gave
the organization hell"
Meet at Party
Sheriff Ray and Mr.. Shower met
at "beano" party yesterday after
noon at the Sisters of Good Shep-
herd. Sheriff Ray charged Mr..
Showers workers passed out cards
and that he was introduced as a
candidate for sheriff. The sheriff
was not introduced.
Mr.. Shower admitted attending
the meeting and said: The sher-
If spoke to me. merely was intro
duced at the meeting"
He said that the possibility of his
continuing the battle for the sher-
iff's post was the result of demands
by his friends following the sheriff's
verbal onslaught against MIN and
the police department..
Mr. Shower today denied A. report
that he would speak tonight before
the Fifth and Sixth Ward Demo-
cratic Clubs.
II have no meetings scheduled for

, through his mind and set his pulses
leaping.
This Hindu-so to call him! Might
he not be the actual murderer Of Rita
Wingheld, and Valerie West simple
decoy. Blackwood smiled grimly.
Hardly simple, however. whatever else
she was. And she was the murderer
of Janice Hume, at very least. Yet
it would certainly have been easier for
the Hindu to have murdered Rita than
for the dancer to have done 1t, for the
obvious reason that he had more time.
Sweet Caroline!" said Blackwood,
softly. IT think It's coming"
His mind raced with the revelation,
and little troublesome problems In
volving time and opportunity were
smoothly - triumphantly - adjusted.
Quite suddenly his case appeared TO
unroll and spread out before him.
The dancer had decoyed her victim
from the studio, had lured him to her
car, and at the proper moment had
turned back for the kitten. Her ac-
complice, waiting with the kitten
in the doorway Of some empty house,
perhaps-had turned it over and re-
ceived the matches in exchange. He
had gone at once to Rita's apartment,
murdered her with Janice's conven-
lent revolver, and hurried away-leav-
ing the dancer to complete the alibi
she was manufacturing for Percy.
Later she had called the poor dupe
from the party and he had Joined her
at the night club.
There were two murderers, not one;
and it was the Hindu who had begun
the slaughter.
Blackwood drew a long breath when
he had finished. 1t was a whale Of
an idea. And it was entirely sound.
At all points. the reconstruction was
plausible and satisfying.
Two important questions remained
unanswered. Who was the Hindu,
who was not a Hindu? What had
become of Percy Jones?
Valerie West held the answer to
both questions. 1t was she who had
stolen the photograph OF Rita Wing
field, the secret of which-he real
ized-appeared now to point more
nearly to the Hindu than to the
dancer. She had simply acted as his
agent in abstracting 1t. as she had
been his agent in the murder Of
Janice Hume.
That Photographic was an i'm
portant link in his chain of evidence.
And, although he hated to admit 1t,
1t had probably been destroyed. No
