DUVALL TO END RULE IN CAPITAL CITY TOMORROW Mayor To Automatically Relinquish Office When He Is Sentenced WIFE TO ASSUME MAYOR’S DUTIES Indianapolis, Oct. 7.— (INS) —John L. Duvall will cease to be mayor of Indianapolis by noon tomorrow as the result of his conviction on charges of political corruption, Emsley W. Johnson, special assistant prosecutor of Marion county announced today. Duvall, who was convicted by a jury in criminal court on the night of September 22, is to appear before Special Judge Cassius C. Shirley for sentence tomorrow. The jury fixed his punishment at 30 days in the county jail, SI,OOO fine and disqualified him from holding office for four years from the da'e of his offense. Under the law it was believed that the mayors toga tomorrow will fall upon the shoulders of Mrs. Duvall, the mayor’s wife, whom Duvall appointed city controller ten days ago. Prosecutor Interprets Law , Prosecutor Johnson contended that ’ the pronouncement of sentence by special Judge Shirley on Duvall to- , morrow automatically will remove the mayor from office inasmuch as the jury which convicted the mayor specifically s.ipulated that should no: be eligible for public office for ' four years in addition to sentencing him To jail and fining him. "The law indicates plainly that the sentence in regard to holding public office will take effect with the pronouncement of sentence regardless of any appeal to the state supreme court," Johnson %aid. “Any act of Mayor Duvall after he receives sentence will be invalid." The Marion county grand jury and the special prosecutors aiding Prose- , cutor William H. Remy, today began an investigation of alleged corruption among city councilmen as the result , of the failure of the city council to impeach the mayor after two announcunents that they would do so. The impeachment move died each time after a series of city hall shake- , ups. 0 ‘Tis A Summery Autumn I Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 7 —(UP) — ! ‘Tis a summery Autumn.

It was New York’s third straight victory and they now need only one game to capture the 1927 world series. It was a dramatic, if one-sided ball game. Most of ! tile fireworks came iu the seventh inning when the Yankees doncked Lee Meadows out of the box and scored six runs. It was in this inning that Ruth slammed his big homer high : into the right field bleachers. It was I I the first homer of the series. Pittsburgh never had a chance. For ■ one thing. Pennock was too good, so • good in fact he did not allow a hit ‘ until the eighth inning when Traynor ’ singled wi h one out.
