This re-1 I quirement. the opinion held, is a men- ■ tai and physical impossibility. I It was in this particular that the I dissenting opinion differed. Judge I Martin held that the clerk would have I properly performed his duty by em I ploying a clerical force to check the I qualifications of petitioners for a city I manager election. The opinion also I held that the proper time for questionI ing the clerk's determination of the I petition would have been when it was I originally filed, and not just prior to election of commissioners. The judges signing the prevailing opinion held that employment of assistants by the clerk would be an illegal procedure. As judge of qualifications of petitioners the city clerks ms in a judicial capacity and judicial authority cannot be delegated to another person, the opinion held. To Continue Plan Michigan City, only city in the state to be operating under the city manager government, will continue to operate under this form until a special election is held and federal form restored. This was the opinion of the effect on Michigan City of the decision handed down by the supreme court declaring the entire city manager legislation of the state al, expressed today by Fred C. Gause. Republican member of the state election board. Gause was formerly a justice of the supreme court and was one of the Indianapolis attorneys defending the city manager law constitutionally before the court in the Marlon county appeal. He declared that acts of the manager government at Michigan City during the last eight years will be held legal. Legalization may be necessary by court or legislative action however, in the opinion of several prominent lawyers here. o SENATE HEARS OF “WET” PARTY IN WASHINGTON (CONVINCED PROM PAGE ONE) and get his flask and put it in bis hip pocket,” Brookhart said. “The senator did not do that, I know. He told me he did not.” The senate laughed. -* Howell, in replying to President Hoover’s request for specific data on violations of the prohibition law here, read to the senate a previously secret report, of prohibition agents submitted in 1927 but ignored by government enforcement officials, telling of public drinking in one of Washington's leading hotels. According to the report, an official of the hotel boasted that Lincoln C. Andrews, then assistant secretary of treasury in charge of prohibition enforcement, and other officials were his friends. Other Business Talked Washington, Sept. 25.—(U.R)—While agitation for a full investigation of lobbies was being revived in congress •he senate committee investigating the Shearer propaganda activities today heard Henry C. Hunter, New York attorney, tell how American ship builders had employed William B. Shearer, self-styled naval expert. A succession of developments outside the committee room indicated •he senate eoon would be called upon to delve into the tariff prohibition and other lobbies as its naval subcommittee now is investigating the merchant marine and disarmament lobby. The developments thus far include: The Brookhart charge that “a gentleman from Wall street” named Fahey had given a wet dinner for senators. A statement from Senator Bingham, Repn., conn, that he Wad emP«yed as hjs secretary in secret tarhearings a former secretary of the onnecticut Manufacturers’ Association vitally interested in tariff matters.

MEET CLOSES TONIGHT (CONTRNVED FROM PAGE ONE) abstinence In the matter of intoxicating liquor as a beverage; that the president be congratulated on his personal and official attitude toward prohibition; that the W. (’. T. I!, should campaign for dry office hold era, and that the wet portion of the American press be condemned for the "destrorted" picture it has given of prohibition. The convention ends tonight, with a big banquet at the Claypool hotel. —— Believe Storm Will Do Little Damage Miami, Fla., Sept. 25.—(U.R)—A hurricane. blowing up from between Porto Rico and Cuba—a region where destructive storms sometimes breed at this season—will probably not damage Miami, according to Indications from today’s weather reports. While northwest storm warnings are flying and small craft and barges have gone up the Miami river as a precaution, It was believed here that the oncoming jstorm w-ould not prove destructive for the Miami area. o . Two More Bombings Reported In Chicago Chicago, Sept. 25 —(VP)— Police were confronted today with two more bombings to solve. A bomb, thrown through a stage door at the Academy Burlesque theater on Halsted street last night, sent chorus girls screaming to the street and caused panic in the audience. The rear of the. building was wrecked and several persons were slightly injured. The last performance h'ad just concluded and the aisles were filled with people going out. Police blamed racketeers retalaiting for price cutting. Another bomb, exploded in a big apartment building, shook the Edgewater residential district early this morning. Damage of $2,000 was done. No motive was ascertained. o — Everson Appointment Gets Committee 0. K. Washington, Sept. 25. —(U.R) — The nomination of Brig. Gen. Lyttle Brown, to be chief of engineers of the U. S. Army to succeed Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin was voted a favorable report today by the senate military affairs committee. Secretary of War Good and Broun appeared before the committee.

The committee also voted to favorably report the nomination of Brig. Gen. William S. Everson, of the National Guard of Indiana, to be chief of the militia bureau of the war department, succeeding Maj. Gen. Creed C. Hammond. o Egyptologist’s Luck In 1899 Dr. Garrett C. Pier, Egyptologist, bought from an Arab in lower Egypt half of a blue glazed faience Anger ring. Four years later in Rench, Upper Egypt, he bought the other half from a worker in a flax field. The inscription was completed by the two halves of the ring. “HARDLY ABLE TO WORK; KONJOLA RELIEVED ME!" "Twelve Bottles Os This New Medicine Swept Every Trace Os Illness From My Body,” Says This Man - ■ > I ’ MR. HOMER ARGABRIGHT “For a long time I suffered from stomach and kidney troubles" said Mr. Homer Argabright, Vernon Acres, Ind. “Gas would form and bloating followed. I always had a headache, and in the morning 1 was so sore and stiff that I did not. want to go to work. My health In general was on a decline and I lost weight and strength. “I have now taken twelve bottles of Konjola and feel fine. My stomach is in first class condition and it never troubles me in the least. Food digests perfectly and gas and bloating are things of the past. Kidney trouble has been banished and 1 never have head aches anymore. Konjola worked a wonderful change in my condition, and I hope that others will benefit from my happy experience”. Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager and Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

NAVAL LIMITING PLAN DISCUSSED Proposal Falls Short Os Requirements Stated By Both Countries Washington, Sept. 25. -(U.R)- The naval limitation plan which President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald are working out falls short, so far ns its details have been agreed upon, of the defense requirements previously Insisted upon by the naval branches of the two governments. However, both the American navy general board and the British admiralty have approved the cruiser strengths of their respective countries as proposed in the Hoover MacDonald plan. They are now estopped from raising objections. President Hoover is asking for 21 eight-inch gun cruisers, and 15 sixinch gun cruisers, a total of 3fi cruisers. Just before the Geneva conference the American chief of naval operations. the late Admiral E. W. Eberle, told the Senate naval committee 50 cruisers were needed. Britain wants 15 eight-inch gun cruisers and 35 six-inch gun cruisers a total of 50. At the Geneva conference the British insisted upon a total of 70 as the minimum 'although they agreed to cut this if the United States Would limit itself to 11 eightinch gun cruisers. This government refused to consider the proposal. The United States would have six more big cruisers than Britain and 20 fewer small cruisers. Britain is proposing that we have only a margin of three large cruisers. Mr. Hoover has not agreed to this. Five minutes conservation with naval officers is sufficient to indicate they disagreed among themselves as to how much better a big cruiser is than a small one. Whlie the American program now falls somewhat short of that recently held by naval officers to be a minimum strength, the improved international outlook, the promulgation of the Kellogg anti war pact have modified the situation in view of some, making the proposed cruiser tonnage entirely adequate for American defense. — o Hair Recorda Pressure The record barometric pressure, temperature and humidity, a strand of blond hair from the human head is used in a new aero-meteorgraph Instrument which Is carried aloft by airplane pilots. #

Copyright 1929 Chryjfer Corporation CHRYSLER has now definitely raised motoring to a still higher plane. The difference in favor of the new Chryslers is decisive and overpowering. You must personally experience this new performance if you would be abreast of the times. Only by demonstration can you learn fully of the great new performance possibilities ushered in by the many characteristic new Chrysler features such as these: ' MULTI-RANCE —the new type of Chrysler gear shift by means of which the driver is able to dominate any modern traffic situation whether on the congested city streets, on the open highway, or in the mountains. Nothing new to learn. Makes driving a joy; shifting, easy—sure—smooth Engine, gas and oil are conserved while every previous limit of performance is far extended. DOWN-DRAFT —the new type of carburetion principle which literally reverses previous fueling practice, with incredible gains in power, smoothness, surety, economy and accessibility. Not merely a gravity manifold, but the same scientific method of carburetion so successfully employed in many recent astonishing aviation endurance flights.
