Indictments were returned against Martin and Samuel Intnll,
beads of the Insult holding companies, in connection with a federal
probe started by Attorney General Mitchell. : Attempts will be
made to extradite Samuel from Paris and Martin from Canada.
Samuel Insull came to the United States fifty-one years ago from

eleven years he worked with the Inventor, aiding In the formation
of many of the companies that bear the Edison name. He struck
out on his own when, through Edison's influence, he became pres

was such that he was credited with the Midas touch. Everytliing
he touched seemed to turn to gold, and at one time his personal
fortune was estimated at $10O,UOO,0O0.

REPEAL PEIITIONS
T
Ballot Title to be Given
Boyer; Expected to go
, Tp Van Winkle .
Checking of the names of a suf
ficient number of water repeal pe
tition signers to meet legal re
quirements will be completed by
this morning, it was announced
yesterday at the office of City Re
corder Poulsen. Poulsen said he
would then turn over the petitions
and the proposed repeal measure I
to citv attorney for a ballot title. I
The netitlons and the repeal pro-
posal of the S2.o00.000 water
bond issue authorized December
15. 1J1, were presented to Poul-
sen late last week.
It Is expected that the city at-
torney wUl promptly prepare
ballot title, and return the meas
ure to the city recorder who will
then certify the repeal measure to
County Clerk Boyer. The Ques
tion will then come up whether
the repeal proposal can be-placed
on the general election ballot No
vember 8. It Is contended by
some attorneys that Boyer should
not and cannot place the measure
on the ballot since the 45-day time
limit provided by state law has
passed. The 30-day limit provided
by city ordinance does' not expire
until this weekend but these at
torneys hold the state law, not
the cltr ordinance, governs in a
general election.
County Clerk Boyer is expected
to refer the matter to District At
torney Carson who has announced
he will nass the legal question on
to Attorney General VanWinkle
for an opinion, since a state ques
tion Is involved.
