Taggart, president of the board, said in regard to the charges that the offense was not the only one of similar nature that Shubert bad committed. He said he understood Shubert was inclined to take on “a little too much" Tt ben the occasion presented Itself and that Shubert Is the type that could not carry a drink or two under his belt without getting drunk.

The redaction of Inspector Manning was not * surprise to those "close la” at police headquarters. It has been an open secret for some 'time that there was dissension among the detectives. Some of the favored ones were get ting too many easy assignments which gave them chances to make arrests or at least get their names on the turn key’s slate as having made arrests. It was said. Other detectives of some years’ experi ence have been assigned to the "rag weeds," as the outlying districts arc called. are rumors afloat at police head jfQPfrte rs that some orders have been Ig nored and that the dissension among the detectives has assumed such serious proportions that the efficiency of the department was becoming impaired.

It also was hinted that the Shubert case might be a part of the sbakeup. Manning was appointed to the police force Pec. IS*, ISftS, and was recently made supervisor of the detectives.

In reply be gave tbe keeping up of the plant, the setting aside of a proper amount for depreciation, etc., as reasons. In response to a question by Commis sioner Fyed Johnson as to what would be bis policy Jf he “acquired a small ex change with a rurnl service and a rote, sav of 25 cents to 75 cents or even up to #1 a month—his policy, that Is. as to rates; he said that the company would have to raise the rote an account of de preciation and investment and because they would have to afford better service— especially toll service. A. T. A T. OWNS MOST OF BELL STOCK. f Among the questions asked him was: “How much of the stock of the Indiana Bell Company Is owned by the A. T. A T.V” He replied that all but nine shares, which are owned by the directors of the Indiana Bell, were owned by the A. T. & T. It was brought out during his cross examination that the Indiana Bell Tele phone Company Is charging tip 6 per cent for depreciation' on book valuation, while the order of the commission of Feb. 0 provided that the charge for de preelation should be 5 per cent annually on the depreciable property of the com pany. It is stated that the hook valuation by the company is considerably higher than the tentative value set by the commis sion. PLEASANT TIME WITH OWN ATTORNEY.

David son, one of the attorneys for the telephone company, at Monday afternoon’s session of the hearing, before the members of the Indiana Public Service commission, of the petition of the telephone company for authority to Increase Its rates. But under cross-examination by Sam uel Ashby, corporation counsel for the city of Indianapolis, his way did not seem to lead in auch pleasant places. In direct examination by Mr. Davidson, Mr. Bloom aatd that back In about 1880 the question arose as to whether there should be one big company or smaller companies throughout tbe United States, and It wss decided that there should be local companies, and above all tbe big organization for patents, patent derelop mcnta, etc. This continued a few years, he said, and then tbe need of uniformity of ap paratus, methods, accounting, etc., arose, and the Western Electric company be (Contlnaefi on Page Two.)

Women Take Rank With Men Voters in Democratic Party Chairman Woman’s Bureau Says They Neither Give Nor Ask Odds . TANARUS(? f . ! yozo&sz BASS' By MRS. GEORGE BASS. Chairman Woman's Bureau Democratic National Committee. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 22. The day of the "Ladles' Aid Society" Is passing. The churches are admitting them as delegates and voting members. In politics wo are moving more rapidly. Four years after tbe democratic na- convention recomuicuded the ex tension of franchise to women, their en franchisement Is practically acompllshed mainly through the untiring efforts of the president. Without waiting for the adoption of the nineteenth amendment and before It was submitted to the states the demo cratie national committee doubled its membership and provided for the ap pointment of a woman upon the na tional committee from each state. Last fall the executive committee voted to double Its membership adding seven teen women to this directing force of the national eoniinltte.e Never at any time has there been any disposition to keep the women waiting outside the committee rooms, nor will th'-re be during this convention. It is not a question of taking them In to the party councils. They are the party councillors and will have a voice In all that U done. In addition to this the national com mittee has Indorsed a plan for organiza tion that calls for a committeewoman as well as a committeeman for each state—to be elected In the same man ner and with equal power. This definite Instruction has had much to do with the great number of women chosen to attend the convention. We have more than 100 women dele gates—twenty-five of them delegates at large and 150 alternate* When we add to this the national com mittee women, the members of the execu tive committee and my own staff, we have more than 400 women who wtl! take an active part In the coming convention, and they will not be on the outside look ing in, but on the inside, too much oc cupied with the great business in hand to have time to look out, but they know that the womanhood of America la wish ing them godspeed.

VanNuys maintained that the Ha-igs knew that this wonderful flood of whtskv prescriptions was coming Into their store on Christmas eve, 1918. “In ten days’ time before Christmas the evidence showed that Louis Haag or dered a total of 1.200 gallons of whisky from out of the state and that Louis instructed the senders to rush the or der." said the district attorney. PROFITS ESTIMATED AT 5250 A DAY. VanNuys estimated the profit of the Haags during October, November and I December. 1918, from their whisky sales at from $250 to S3OO a day. Looking directly at the Haags, Van- Nuys Bald, “When Louis started to make an inventory of his whisky stdek on the shelves the next day all the whisky was gone and he caused fifty-six quarts more to be put on the shelves. “It was like Old Mother Hubbard i going to the cupboard and finding It bare,” dramatically recited the district attorney. VanNuys declared that many of the prescriptions for whisky were a “pal pable fraud.” v In defense of the Haags, Michael llyan declared there was not a word of evidence to show that any one who pur chased whisky on prescriptions for tlio Haag store “ever staggered or went borne In an improper condition." Mr. Ryan said the defense admitted from the outset of the trial that tho defendants did order the whisky as charged hut claimed that It was for me dicinal purposes alone. “If you believe the testimony of t ho defendants that they bought this whisky for medicinal ' purposes then this cast. Is ended," Mr. Ryan said. EVERY PRESCRIPTION CARRIED NAME. Mr. Ryan said that every prescription had the name- and address of a patient and steadily maintained that the Haags, in his judgement, never conducted s blind tiger. “Their place of business doesn’t carry the stripe of a blind tiger or any other kind of a tiger and everything that the Haags did was done In the open and even sworn to before the county clerk," claimed Mr. Ryan. In closing his argument Mr. Ryan claimed the only question before the Jury was to determine whether this liquor was brought In for medical or for bev erage purposes. The first of the eloslng arguments for the government was made late yesterday afternoon by District Attorney Fred VanNuys, who declared that the de fendant Haags were In the whisky busi ness for the money there wuj in the il legal traffic. “REQUIRE 843 YEARS TO DRINK STUFF." "I have figured up that if the direc tions of taking the doses of whisky sold by the Haags and •Introduced In evidence, were followed out it woul 1 require M3 years to drink the stuff, ’ „aH VanNuys. “The liquor business ?s out of exist ence because such men as tbe Haage have prostituted their citizenship over tne depiuTed bodies of men and women." charged Mr. VanNuys. In the course of his argument to the Jury, the district attorney stated that “the Hang brothers were the last rem nants of the blind tigers In Indianapo lis.” Tbe district attorney took the position that the so-called prescriptions were used Just as a blind and that the whole trans action was a “farce." He assumed that the Haags were In terested only In getting the liquor into the state and getting the money as “this traffic was carried on for money .alone.” The district attorney contended that the evidence showed the Haags at one time had $50,000 worth of booze In the cellar of the Pennsylvania atreet store.
