He was also a member of the Mod ern Woodman lodge of this city. Declining health seemingly stole upon h'm unawares and for the last ten weeks he had been confined to his bed, where the best of medical skill, the kindest of tender words, and the ministration of loving, hands left nothing undone that health might he restored. While body Was wrecked with disease, God kept the pa’n away and he slipped away so easy. He fought a heroic battle jo get we'l. but when he found that it was useless, he called the family, the brothers and sisters about his bed, and bidding them good-bye, told them all was well with him, and that he was going home and wanted them all to meet him in Heaven.

Q CAPITAL CITY MAYOR PLANS TO SEEK NEW TRIAL (CONTIXUEO FROM PAGE ONE> practices act. Unless the defense lawyers succeed in obtaining a reversal of the sentence Duvall must yield his office. In this event, Claude F. Johnson, former chief of police, who a few weeks ago was named city controller by the mayor will become the city’s chief executive. Johnson is a close political ally ot Duvall. The specific charge against Duvall was that he accepted SIO,WOO from William H. Armitage, former boss of Indianapolis under the administration of ijew Shank as Mayor,'and agreed to allow Armitage to select three office holders who would control the expenditure of several million dollars in street paving and other public improvement. Duvall, according to the testimony, assured Armitage he would be per■mitted to name two of the three members of the board of public works and the city civil engineer. The engineer makes recommendations for awards of street paving contracts. William H. Freeman and Ernest L. Kingston were to be the board of works members and Frank C. Lingenfelter, the engineer, under the Duvall Armitage pact. To prove the intent of Duvall in his political deals, evidence was introduced that Duvall was the maker of dozens of promises of appointments in advance of his election, a procedure in direct violation of the corrupt practices act of Indiana. Armitage, it was revealed, was in control of thousands of votes chiefly the' 63,000 negroes living in Indianapolis. Charges still are pending against William C. Baser, brother-in-law of Duvall, who was an alleged partner In some of thir Mayor’s deals. When Duvall’s political fortunes began to decline after charges were filed against him, Btaser was removed from the office of city controller which lie had held since January, 1926, and Johnson was substituted. Indicted with Jackson were George V. Coffin, Republican chairman of Marion county; and Robert I. Marsh, former partner of Jackson and erstwhile chief of the legal staff of the Indiana Klan. I The Marion county grand jury which indicted Jackson, foffin and Marsh, also indicted Mayor Duvall on charges similar to these upon which he was convinced last night after a trial on affidavits filed by prosecuting attorney William H. Remy. ‘‘We will not stop with Duvall,” he said. ”We have cast our into the stream and will catch big fish.” WHOOPING COUGH No “cure”—but helps to r*« duce paroxysms of coughing, WICKS ▼ Vapoßub: Over 17 Million Jan Ueed Yearly

SHUMAKER ASKS FOR DISMISSAL Claims Court Has No Jurisdiction In Motion To Increase His Penalty Indianapolis, Sept. 23.— (UP) — A motion to-have the Indiana supreme cour. dismiss a recent motion of Attorney General Arthur 1., Gilllom to increase the sentence of Edward S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, was before that court today. Shumaker, who was convicted of eontemp. of court some time ago, yesterday filed the motion on the ground that Gillium's request is unconstitutional and that the court has no jurisdie ion. It pointed out that Gllliom's petition. if granted, would place Shumaker in jeopardy twice for the same of- ’ tense, and that Gilliom’s move is an j effort to supplement the original aci tlon with an issue not “constituting any part of the alleged offense.” It also holds the court has no jurisdiction because judgment already has been rendered, and that the move is an attempt to abridge Shumaker's privileges and immunities as a citizen without due process of law. Shumaker was sentenced to 60 days at the Indiana state farm and fined j $250 by the supreme court several ' weeks ago when found guilty of con-
