The statement cites recent court rulings by Judge Taylor and Indianapolis judge Anderson, urging public trust in a consolidated, value-driven telephony future.

Estate under court control for Rhodius amid petitions for fees
The Rhodius estate, deemed unsound, is being managed on a business basis under Judge Ross after disputes over past expenditures. Attorneys and detectives cost about 5,007 dollars for locating Rhodius during Ex-Judge Walker’s tenure, with 25,000 dollars previously granted to counsel. The petition for the funds was filed by John W. Claypool and Joseph Emminger, and Judge Ross authorized the extra 5,000 after consulting with Walker and on guardian James M. Berryhill’s recommendation. Walker had previously provided an allowance for Elma Dare, Rhodius’ alleged wife, which Judge Ross has halted, along with other extravagant expenses. Dare has received no Rhodius funds since the new order, while the estate gains 36 dollars from a real estate deal with Werner Amiet.
