PHONE RULING
MEANS EARLY
MERGER STEPS
State Supieme Court Upholds
Mandatory Injunction of
County Court.
Steps toward consummation of the
merger of the Indianapolis Telephone
company's properties with the Central
Union company will be taken promptly
as a result of the state supreme court
ruling, affirming a Marion county court
order for the merger, 'William Fortune,
president of the Indianapolis Telephone
company, said today.
The supreme court upheld a man
datory injunction of the lower court to
compel the Central Union company to
execute Its contract to purchase the
Indianapolis company's property. The
court held that the city is no longer a
party to the transaction as its contract
ual powers In dealing with public util
ities has been vested in the Indiana
public service commission.
The public service commission has ap
proved the contract between the two
campanies.
The city council had refused to ap
prove the contract under which the Cen
tral Union Company assumed the burden
of paying the city SO,OOO annually for
nnieteen years In compliance with a
franchise agreement between the city and
the Indianapolis company. The court
finding raises some question as to
whether the company will have to make
the payments even though it had agreed
to do so.
Frank Wampler, vice president of the
Central Union company, said today that
attorneys for the company were examin
ing the court’s ruling and that no state
ment would be made for a few days.
It has been asserted by Central Union
officials that the case was appealed to
the supreme court only for the purpose
of making sure the title to the property
named In the contract would be good.
The only point in question concerned
the right to merge the two companies.
The price to be paid for the Indianap
olis company’s property according to
the contract is $4.550,000. That Includes
payment for all property held by the
company and its business “good will.”
NEW’S APPEAL
TO BE HALTED?
Statement That Girl Killed
Self Changes Situation.
LOS ANGELES, March 12.—That the
appeal of Harry S. New, Jr., alleged
son of United States Senator New of
Indiana, will not be pressed because of
News recent declaration that his sweet
heart, Freda Lesser, committed suicide
and was not murdered by him, appeared
certain here today. •
New is serving a life sentence In San
Qnentin prison upon conviction of sec
ond degree murder. His.amazing state
ment, made to his half sister, when
lie alleged he believed he was soon “to
die,” is viewed by the prosecuting at
torneys as anew phase of action to gain
New’s freedom by parole or pardon.
One thing is sure, however. Attorneys
Leeompte Davis and John L. Klchard
son. well known criminal lawyers, who
defended New, will not continue in his
defense even if the appeal should bo
pressed and the lowere courts reversed,
resulting in anew trial. Both attor
neys insist the insanity defense was
the sole defense for New and are non
plussed by his sudden statement of al
leged suicide.

“World War Veteran” of Rutherford.
N. J., declares: “The government should
keep faith with those ex-service tnen
who can prove they need the bonus, and
give only to such kind of service men. ’
Rrattleboro, Vt.. and Greenville, S. (\,
posts have opposed the national executive
committee’s plan for SSO Liberty bonds
for each month’s service of ex-service
men.
Lucien S. Breckenridge, secretary, and
George B. Compton, chairman of the
bonus committee of the New York County
American legion, have both declared the
government should not be asked to give
cash bonus awards to the ex-service men.
Mr. Breckenridge insisted that such a
plan was “unworthy of the high pur
poses of the American legion” and should
not be endorsed.
Mr. Compton argued that ex-service
men “should not barter their heritage
of patriotic self-sacrifice by asking for
money awards from the government.”
