CHENS EXPRESS FAVOR FOR CITY 1 MANAGER MOVE

See Only Hope for Business Administration in Plan, A number of citizens today expressed approval of the city manager form of government for Indianapolis following an address by Dr. a! R. Hatton of Cleveland, Ohio, at Kiwanis Club luncheon Wednesday at the Claypool. The movement will be considered by the public affffairs committee of the Kiwanis Club and a report made to the Friday night. Mervin J. Hammel, secretary, said he favored the city manager plan. “I think this meeting will be the means of creating public sentiment favoring the proposal,” he said “Success of the movement in about 300 cities in the United States is sufficient reason for us to give it a trial” Ritter Approves Dwight 8. Ritter, former city ftdrchasing agent, said he heartily/ approves of the city manager proposal "After studying methods of city government, I am convinced tha, city manager system is the only Business like method,” Ritter said. *lt is far in advance to the present mayor-council plan, because It eliminates responsibility to political parties. “At present fifty men can nominate a mayor in Indianapolis and consoquefitly the wants of these few are granted and the rest are not heard. The commission plan is as impossible as the present system, because it has no head. I have talked to commissioners in more than a dozen cities who admitted that it is worse than the old plan.” “Great Stride Forward” Joseph A. Kebler, 2432 Park Ave., district manager of R. G. Dun & Company, said adoption of the city manager idea would mean a great stride in betterment, of municipal affairs . “Everything depends on the kind of executives secured,” he said. “With that system better executives certainly could be obtained. I hope it is given a trial here.” John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerc, said: “The fact that more than 300 cities in the United States are successfully operating under the city manager plan, and only four have gone back to the other system, in my personal opinion is sufficient evidence the plan is worth while. The Chamber of Commerce has not acted or considered the proposal.” “From what I know of the proposed city manager form of governgaaent I favor it.” said George W. Ipaaman, president Mapleton Civic Association. • "I am positively opposed to the commission plan. We need high minded city officials who will lay aside petty politics.” City manager government for Indianapolis was advocated by Winfield Miller, former State Senator, and father of the law permitting cities to choose their form of government, at the luncheon of the Indianapolis Association of Engineers at the Board of Trade today.

CAL EXERCISES ON MECHANICAL HORSE Three Times Daily President Goes for Dressing Room Gallop, National Capital Learns.

By United Press ' WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—“01d Ironsides,” the sturdy holly-horse on which President Coolidge goes for a dressing room gallop three times daily, has taken the national capital by storm. Incidentally no small portion of the storm is centered in and about the White House as a result of the news leaking out. Every one is asking how the indoor Dobbin happened to become the vogue with the executive. Here is bow: While the President enjoyed horseback riding he suffered somewhat from a nasal affection which is aggravated by the effluvia arising from A horse’s hide and any dust that might be kicked up by a canter along the roads. Added to this was the feeling of secret service men that outdoor riding was attended by unnecessary dangers. Gift of Classmate So the President cast agpund for something similar, because* his doctor recommended this type of exercise. . # Mentioning his dilemma one day to a luncheon guest, said to have bene Dwight Morrow, New York financier and classmate of the President at Amherst, the guest replied he had a couple of the electro-me-chanical pacers which he recommended, and, If the President would permit, he would send him one. The horse arrived at the back door of the White House. The President, it was said, enjoyed secrecy. Existence of the horse never could be confirmed until “someone” innocently let it out Wednesday. The horse is made of iron and has no head or tail, though equipped with a Regular Army saddle and stirrups. The control buttons are placed in front of the saddle and It now is reported there are only two—pace and canter—but with three speeds each. Mr. Coolilge apparently does not den a gymnasium suit to rltle it Fcr one of the three daily tenminute periods he - uses it shortly before breakfast' Then there is a brief canter soon after lunch and a brisk gallop before bedtime. Papers Make Merry Newspaper headlines, editorials and cartoons, of course, already have made merry over the discovery. One drawing offers the suggestion of an electric fan blowing on the President as he rides to lend realism. A headline suggests he has

PLEA FOR REFORMATORY Need for Better Schools There Cited to Legislators. “The State of Indiana owes these boys an education, so they can be sent back t osociety better boys than we took from society.” This was the declaration Wednesday night of Levi H.

He declared 218 of the boys can neither read nor write, and 63 per cent have never gone past third grade.

NEW SADDLE LOVE AFFAIR ON ROCKS

As In McCormack-Oser Match, Rich Dad Talks Anullment as Daughter Weds Horseman,

Bu United Preaa MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 12. Another riding instructor heiress marriage, similar to the famous Matilde McCormick-Max Oser love match, stirred middle west society today. Emily Julia Forster Bradley, 22, pretty daughter of Charles G. Forster, wealthy lumber man. Is in seclusion in the Forster home, while Jack Bradley, 23, is wandering disconsolately about, devising ways and means of recapturing his bride. The couple eloped last Sunday. They were married at Waukegan, 111., and it was not until Wednesday that Forster discovered the affair while reading marriage license notices in a newspaper. Annulment Threatened Forster, obviously angered, indicated he would take steps to annul the marriage. The romance began on the bridle paths of Milwaukee a year ago when Emily started taking riding lessons for her health. Jack, a riding instructor in the Hans Berg riding academy, was detailed to teach Emily. Jack is slight Os build, handsome and has reddish hair. He is an excellent horseman, having secured his training while a member of the United States Cavalry. Emily, dark and vivacious, took an “immediate interest” in riding, her intimates noticed. She rode frequently, and Jack was always bobbing along by her side. However,

Mrs. Elizabeth Chandler, 82, of this httle county seat town, proudly boasts that honor. Her story portrays the bigheartedness, kindness and sympathy for others in the life of Lincoln. ’Twas away back in 18*52 that James Henry Chandler and his bride-to-be eloped from their homes near Mt. Sidney, Va., and went to Harper’s Ferry to be married. Trouble at this town prevented tfieir entrance, and they took the stage to Washington. “Green Virginians” “We were just a couple of grepn Virginians,” explains Mrs. Chandler, “and we knew no better than

Instead, the couple drove to Waukegan and were married by a justice of the peace. They returned the same evening and Emily went home. Jack told his mother of the marriage and they kept it a secret until Forster saw the marriage license notices. Forster ' waxed explosive and Emily was placed in seclusion while her father consulted friends on his next step.

We told him and he sent for a Baptist minister. After the ceremony President Lincoln laughingly called my attention to the fact that it was customary for the minister to kiss the bride. The minister did! “I was rather hoping the President would, too. But he didn’t! “After the wedding, Lincoln* insisted we stay all night. I was taken to one room and my husband to another. “In a short time we discovered that a party was scheduled for the White * House that evening and when the guests arrived news of our wedding spread. “They served a midnight supper in our honor.” In the early part of the war Chandler Joined the southern forces. In a short time, however, he surrendered and asked permission to fight in Lincoln’s army. This was granted and Mrs. Chandler did not hear from him for five years.
