OUST CORRUPT POLITICS WITH COURT RULING Democrats Regain Power as Louisville Undergoes Big Clean-Up. Bu Time* Soecial LOUISVILLE, June 20.—Corrupt politics in this city have just undergone a terrific setback that will change the complexion of the city government from 'Republican to Democrat. The recent decision of the Court of Appeals in reversing a lower court has caused the ouster of forty-nine Republican city officials and nine Republican Jefferson County officials. Among those ordered removed because of election of frauds are Mayor Arthur A. Will, several judges, the sheriff, the city auditor and the city treasurer. Their removal charges Governor William J. Fields, a Democrat, with the duty of filling the fifty-eight vacancies. The court decision reaches back to the election of November, 1925, and rules that because of fraud there was no election. The Democratic candidate for mayor at that time was Joseph T. O’Neal. Opponent of Racing The Kentucky Derby,, Louisville racing classic, may become a factor that will keep O’Neal from stepping into the post Mayor Fields must so unceremoniously vacate. O’Neal is not favorable toward racing in Kentucky. He was a Y. M. O. A. secretary overseas and once you meet him you feel confident he’d rather see racing “out” than “in.” The Democratic city and county executive committee is clamoring for O'Neal’s appointment as well as fifty-seven other 1925 canHftes for the vacated offices. case Governor Fields selects O’Neal he will go against the State’s racing element, generally conceded to Be Democratic. Whether O’Neal or some other Democrat is appointed, he will serve ! only until November, when succes- | sots to all the vacated offices will ■ be elected. “Scheme” Exposed Going back to the 1925 election again, the Court of Appeals found that a “scheme” was concocted by an “inner circle of practical men in the Republican organization” to get into the ballot boxes sufficient number of false Republican ballots to insure seating of the Republican candidates. Unlawful registrants were admitted to the courthouse Through a back door, so they might not be delayed by voters entering regularly. Negroes were given preference in voting lines and indecent language was used around registration places in order that white women might be frightened away. “Dead men” voted and many illegal voters cast ballots once, then changed c'othes and voted again. Had Years of Gas ' and Stomach Agony Finally Found Right Remedy. Health Perfect Now. Gaining Weight. People who dread every meal be- j cause of the stomach pains they know it means, will be glad to know how Miss Edna A. Dane, 220 N.J Winnebago St., Rockford, 111., es- j caped from this dreadful affliction. She writes: “For three years, after every meal, I suffered agony with indigestion, gas pains, and biliousness. [ Food soured and nauseated me. A few months ago, I had a severe stomach attack that kept me in bed six weeks. I couldn’t hold any food on my stomach, and I got extremely weak and lost weight rapidly. Nothing seemed to help me, and I was terribly discouraged when I happened to read about Viuna and decided to try it. That was the turning point. Before I had finished the first bottle, I felt a great change for the better. Now my stomach is fine, and J can eat anything without any pain, sourness or belching. The headaches, which were terrible, have all gone, and so have the hot flashes. I am better in every way than I have been for years, and am rapidly regaining my lost weight.” ▼lnna acts promptly bn sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. u,

McCormick Millions May Help Dig ‘Sewer for City
John D. Rockefeller’s Daughter Affiliated With Construction Company That Makes Low Bid. j. RS. EDITH ROCKEFELLER M’CORMICK may dig a sewer for Y[ Indianapolis. Os course, the noted Chicago matron, daughter of :| John D. Rockefeller of oil well and trust fame, and as well known in European society circles as in America, is not going to don overalls and dig with a spade. But, according to agents of the Krenn & Dato Building and Construction Company, Chicago, a few of Mrs. McCormick’s millions are eager for a chance to help dig Indianapolis the Pleasant Run main sanitary interceptor sewer. - Makes Lowest Bid And the bejmty of it. it is said, i* that Mrs. McCormick's millions want to do it cheaper than others. The Krenn & Dato Company bid approximately $634,229 on the sewer, which the city engineering department estimated would cost $782,521. Other Arms bid approximately $766,310 and $766,058.

Edward O. Dato, the Dato of Krenn & Dato, in making Indianapolis financial connections, revealed Mrs. McCormick’s connection with the firm. A bank statement, sworn to by Angus Stevens & Cos., accountants of Chicago, listed more than $3,000,000 of Mrs. McCormick’s money in the $24,941,836 assets of the firm. And Mrs. McCormick is known to have been the heavy financial backer of the firm j n other excavation and construction endeavors. Attracts Wide Interest Although the Chicago firm does not urge its bid on the basis that the Mrs. McCormick-built sewer will attraot nation-wide attention to Indianapolis—inasmuch as the versitile daughter of John D. will not don overalls and really dig—they do cite that her backing gives them standing as a reliaole firm. Whether Mrs. McCormick, or rather her millions, will have anything o do with the s?wer depends on the board of works, which referred bids to City Engineer Frank Lingenfelter for analysis and reommendation. When he has reported it will award the contract or reject all bids. Whenever a death occurs in the village of Cesaree, Turkey, a town crier immediately goes about shouting the doleful news, even though the death occurs in the night.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the CATAWBA CITY TIMES and a chain ofenine other newspapers, had been kidnaped, then released. Her father Is engaged in a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City nnd through the medium of the Times, redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the ring ana underworld. Brooks himself Is kidnaped but In five days released. On his return he finds that his newspaper stock Is being manipulated and suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, who he prepares to fight. Brooks closest friend is DONALD KEENE, his literary editor, and the guardian of TEDDY FARRELL, reporter and Sob Sister. TSddy is in love with Don. He, however, believes himself in love with Lola Mantell, Diana's cousin. Teddy goes to a picnic with DINNY MORRISON, young reporter who is conttnualy asking her to marry him. He oppresses his jealously of Don. Tcddv e\Hdes his insinuations and also a dSect reply to his proposal of marriage. NOW READ ON CHAPTER XXXVI Mrs. Speed had talked with her next-door neighbor over the back fence. The conversation eased her mind wonderfully. The neighbor had missed Teddy’s departure in the bathing suit. The landlady was putting the finishing touches to the hanging of fresh curtains when she. heard the asthmatic wheezing of “Mr. Morrison's car.” Her little charge had returned. “You just hustle upstairs an’ take them wet clothes off, Miss Farrell,” was the kind soul's greeting to Teddy. The girl laughed. “You mean my bathing suit?” she said with a rising inflection. “Oh, that dried hours ago. Mr. Morrison and I dried our suits on th’ beach—right on us, of course,” she added, mischievously. “Why didn’t you ask your young man into th’ parlor lor a spell? It’s all clean an’ nice now. I jus’ put up fresh curt'ns. My! How black they get in no time, almost,” bemooaned Mrs. Speed, with domestic concern. “Yes,” agreed Teddy. “It’s th’ smoke an’ dust of th’ city. You just can’t help it.” She made the statement with a humorous little twinkle In her brown eyes. Mrs. Speed nodded gravely as if the remark were the quaint-cssence of a newly-discovercd truth. “But, as I was a-sayin’. I've no ’b’jection to lettin’ Mr. Morrison visit here with you. You could play th’ funnagraf. Ye know I want you to feel t’ home here, darlint.” “That’s awfully kind of you, Mrs. Speed. Thanks!” The landlady remained in the hall, her gaze following Teddy's ascension of the stairs, the open robe flopping shamelessly behind her. “It seems she hasn’t so very much use for Mr. Morrison," soliloquized the Lady of the House. “I wonder now if she’s stuck on that there Donald Keene feller. She keeps his pitcher on her bureau all th’ time --cut out o’ th’ Sunday paper. I guess it’s one-sided, though, or she and have a real photygraf o’ him. Oh. well, seems ,like every one has their troubles: if ’tain’t one thing's 'sanother—little up an’ downs. That’s life.” Home! Teddy hissed the word between her teeth several times. The ordinarily cozy little room was particularly drab and cheerless that night. Life itself seemed to stretch out in a dreary waste to interminable length before the little sob sister with little more than just a

promise of pain. She took Don's clipped picture in her hand and flung herself on her bed. The silence of the tiny room was broken by the sound of,convulsive sobbing. “When are you due at th’ Brooks’ home, dear? At what hour, I mean?” Mrs. Keene raised her graying head from the profusion of potted ferns from which she had been picking the dead leaves. She accompanied her question with a smile in which there was mingled sweetness and maternal pride. “About 2 o’clock, mother.” Donald Keene rose lazily from his wide-backed wicker chair and leaned over his mother. “Always fussing with these plants,” he said, teasingly, catching one of her fingers burrowing in the soil. “And stainin’ up th’ prettiest hands of any woman in my circle of acquantances.” A flush of pleasure dyed the slightly withered cheeks. Mrs. Keene’s unfaded brown eyes were wondrously soft. - “Don, you’re getting to be a great ! flatterer. I fear.” she said. “As for th’ flowers, Julia waters them, but they need a little coddling—personal care, you know—like a man.” I She crumpled the dry leaves in her palm and slipped them into the pocket of here bungalow apron. The fingers of her other hand she ; allowed her son to hold, and stood ! for a moment thus looking up at ; him. In her eyes glowed the light of the infinfif tenderness of motherlove.
i “Give my love to Diana an’ Ted I when you see them, dear, and now,” disengaging her fingers, “I'll have to finish my work. I'm having a bridge tea this afternoon.” j She lingeied a few moments long!er and then Don was left alone. He | resumed his chair and hitched it closer to the open window. It was deliciously cool in the conservatory ! and boiling hot in the outer air. Overhead the noonday sun was pouring down a heat that was distinctly oppressive. Tony, the hired man. who came occasionally so do chores around the pleasant little bungalow was pushing his lawn mower listlessly Don watched him abstractedly, his thoughts far away from this scene of droning life on a hot August afternoon. Fond fancy had taken him by the hand and he was rambling in Elysian finds, Lola, Diana, Teddy, the trinity of his mind, which was Uv’ ideal of his heart? Did he reallv love Lola as he had told her he did that night in April, as they stood on the shore of the lake? There were times when he was sure he did. Did she care for him in return? She had implied that she might come to love him in lime. But ever since that time when the dawn of anew day was just breaking. that gray morning after the Bradhurst Country club dance, he had not thought quite so exclusive-

ly of Lola. Another face had kept obtruding, a face out of which great gray eyes had looked up into his, a wonderful light in their mystic depths. He had bent and kissed the lips of that face—Diana’s face. That strange light in her eyes had haunted his thoughts since. And then the night on the island—when he had gone mad —or near it. That remembrance was not so pleasant in Donald Keene's memory. And then there was still another face, the sweet, pretty face of his dear little protege, Teddy, the girl who had saved his life—the one girl at least whom he knew beyond all doubt really loved him. And what of himself? Was his affection for Teddy altogether that of the big brother the friend, the pal? Was not the memory of those j wild, Impassioned kisses she had j pressed on his lips that never-to-be- j forgotten night in the sub-cellar j when she had thought him uncon- j scious—was not that memory sweet? It was, he admitted to himself, sur- ! passingly sweet. And yet. . . . He couldn’t possibly be in love j with Teddy, nor with Diana as he i had been—and still was—with the lovely Lola. The feeling that raced j through him when he touched Lola —surely that wonderful feeling was \ not just mere physical passion only! i Thus were his thoughts fluctuat- j ing as he walked along on that aft- j ernoon in August all the way out to the Brooks home.

such as Don so obviously suffered. Lola was a breath of May breeze in an orchid dress, its pale tints contrasting becomingly with her olive beauty. Diana and Teddy in gauzy white dresses, their arms bare to the shoulder, looked as fresh as daisies on a June morning. “You girls certainly are mighty easy to look at,” Donald told them, smilingly. “You seem as cool and restful as a trio of dryads—although I don’t just recall ever having seen any honest-to-goodness dryads. I almost feel,” he went on, his admiring glance resting on them all with impartial favor, “like a big satyr come to spoil your innocent play-hour.” “Well, be very careful, Don, that we don’t become th’ Three Fates!” Lola bent a deliberately searching look on him. But the black eyes at the same time held an Invitation. Don returned her gaze, equally

intent. Did she intend to Imply a hidden meaning? “Why th’ Three Fates?” he queried, laughingly. “Oh,” Lola shrugged languidly, “I didn’t mean to insinuate anything deep, dark and mysterious. Th* remark struck my fancy and so I just blurted it out." Then spoke up Teddy with witching smile and an air of coiRP raderie: "We were having a discussion, Don. The topic was that ever-por-tentious one of marriage and divorce.” “Well, please continue,” insisted Don. "Since we are all in the same boat, and know nothing about either, wc ought to have wholly unbiased opinions. Am I right, Ted?” “Surely, Don, you’re always right," replied Teddy, unblushingly.
