MARTINSVILLE 10 TRY NEW POWER RATE PLAN Number of Rooms Supplied Basis of Electric Charge. REDUCED COST IS HOPE Utility officials and patrons, aa well as members of the public service commission, will watch with interest the results that will follow the adoption In Martinsville as a trial system of optional rates for users of electrical energy. Following a conference, at which attorneys for the Insull-controlled utilities spoke with favor of such a plan, the commission Friday afternoon decided to give the system a trial In Martinsville where the patrons have complained against the charfres now in force.

The city is served by the Wabash Valley Klectric Company, an Innnll utility. Officials and citizens of Martinsville this week agreed to the experiment and, as a result, a petition pending before the commission from natrons of the company for reduc tion of rates was postponed until November 6 in the commissions order Issued Saturday. The Insull attorneys sousrht to have the commission apply such a schedule to Waterloo, Porter, Odgen Dunes, Hebron and Chesterton but action on this request will await the results of the Martinsville experiment. Oa of Rooms. The new optional schedule Is based on the number of rooms In which electricity Is used, with a minimum of three rooms.

A rate of 9 cents a kilowatt hour would De cnargea, Dut the energy ex cess of four kilowatt hours a room would cost only 4 cents a kilowatt hour. Thus, In a house where three rooms are active or lighted the minimum charge would be 9 cents a kilowatt hour for twelve kilowatt hours, or $1.08. If the house used more than twelve kilowatts the excess would be paid for at the rate of 4 cents a kilowatt. A minimum net charge of fl is provided by the new schedule. The schedule calls for a service chargre of $1 for commercial service with a charge of 7 cents a kilowatt hour for the first 250 kilowatt hours used and a rate of 4 cents a kilowatt hour for all used above 250 hours.

Representatives of the Insull interests, including William Mclnerney, of South Bend, In defending the system of optional rates, said such a scheme would provide a lower rate, but would encourage greater use of electricity. To Buy New Equipment. In addition to this action the commission gave authority for the Lafayette Telephone Company to Issue $450,000 In bonds to buy new automatic telephone equipment and to provide new service. Authority to issue $39,000 In preferred stock to retire $15,000 in first mortgage bonds and to pay Interest and costs for extensions was granted to the Batesvllle Water Company. The commission gave the Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company permission to issue $500,000 in preferred stock.

In another order the town of Munster received permission to sell $11,000 worth of bonds to buy additional water works equipment. The commission pproved a petition of the state highway commission to open a right-of-way for a state highway across the tracks of the New York Central lines at Hamlet, but denied the request of Charles N. Scott, of Knightstown for a permit to operate a truck line between Indianapolis and Knightstown. The Southern Indiana Telephone Company asked the commission Friday for authority to sell $85.00 worth of first mortgage bonds and fifty shares of unissued common stock. The company proposes to use the proceeds to retire a real estate mortgage, pay notes, redeem common preferred stock and relm-purse the treasury for money spent in additions, etxenslons and betterments.

"Our first task will be to establish a series of Eskimo dog posts at intervals of 100 miles, and next to form airplane bases at every 200 miles. We will use two planes, one with a single motor and one with three motors." He said that to reach the south pole.

It probably would be necessary to fly at a hlght of 4.000 feet, and the winds would make flying difficult and hazardous. His party will consist of between forty and fifty men, among them experts In the various branches of science. Hero Worshipers Get Wet. The commander made a promise that has further endeared him to the French, namely, that he would take with him and "nail to the south pole" a French flag, presented to him by French sports writers. In his farewell speech over the radio he told the people of France that he and his companions regretted leaving ths countiy, where they had received such wonderful hospitality.

"We have brought to you from America the message of friendship you sent back by Llnde-bergh," he said. "We also brought to France a small piece of the first American flag, which we presented to President Doumergue and which will remain forever In France. It is one of our most cherished relics." The last full day In Paris of Byrd and his companions ended amid unabated enthusiasm. Hero-worshiping persons. despite constant rain, waited outside the building where the airmen had dinner, their last function In Paris.

The commander was so touched by this tribute from the man in the street that he went out on the balcony and thanked the crowd. There were rousing cheers. Dunkirk Ralay Bat Feetlve. DUNKIRK, France. July (A.P.) This port, where the American naval aviators had their flying station In the world war.

For Lieutenant Novllle, Dunkirk was a familiar sight, as he was hero for a time in the hostilities, before being sent to Italy. Although rain was falling, the population of the city turned but In force to welcome the men who came by automobile from Calais, where they had arrived by train from Paris.

Medals were presented In the City Hall. All along the route from Calais to Dunkirk, the villages through which the party passed were gay with flags and noisy with cheers. The streets around the Calais station were packed with persons willing to stand, in the rain in order to see the men who had flown over the Atlantic. FRENCH CRITICISE LEVTVE. Report of SI 50,000 Salary far Dren-hla Adda to Dlapleaaare.

PARIS. July (A.P.) Maurice Drouhin's contract with Charles A. Levine, under which he is to pilot the trans-Atlantic plane Columbia back to America, r-tii for one year, with compensation of $150,000, the newspaper L'Auto says today. In French money this amounts to 2,750.000 francs, which appears to be a stupendous sum to the French public. L'Auto's story has stimulated rather than quieted the controversy over the proposed flight, and newspapers generally criticise both Drouhln and Levine.

L'Auto, which characterizes the French pilot's decision as "regrettable," prints a communication from Henry Farman, veteran airman, who condemns both men. He says he thinks Levine might have chosen a pilot from the large number of efficient men only too willing to go, without taking the man who has been training for his own trans-Atlantic flight. There are still, however, many who support Drouhln decision to take the opportunity of getting a start on the German pilot Koen. necke, who Is reported speeding preparations for a westward trans-Atlantic flight. There Is some division of opinion among French flyers and airplane experts as to whether Drouhln will succeed In flyng the plane to New York, and th newspaper Intransigent quotes Clarence D.

Charnberltn, who piloted the Columbia with Levine to Uermanv, as doubting whether on a westward flight the machine could get farther than Newfoundland, because of contrary winds which are certain to be encountered. Tha Columbia was again on French soil today after a fllfht BYRD FLYERS BID NEW SUBDIVISION Tklrty-Five-Aerw Tract ftaata Trwy Avesas ta SalaU Thirty. five acrea of land couth of Troy arenue between Keystone avenue and Rural street has bean I sold by Charles Kerkoff to the Zahnd Real Estate Exchange, whose officers announce subdivision of the property for home sites at once.

A fellow air mall pilot will occupy the navigator's seat in the giant Fokker monoplane Old Glory when it wings Its way toward Rome with Lloyd W. Bertaud at the controls.
