pc CLUBS •• f TO SEEK ‘NEW DEAL'IN CITY First Winter Meeting to Be Held by Federation Friday Night. BUDGET WILL BE UP Duvall Case, Zoning, Paving to Be Among Subjects Given Consideration. The Federation of Civic Clubs "will discuss the “chaotic condition of city government” Friday night, President John F. White indicated today. The federation Will hold its first winter meeting at the Chamber of Commerce and discuss the year’s program. “Something should be done to to save the reputation of the city, but I do not know what steps the federation will take. I know several members feel something should be done,” White said. Public Opinion Guing Wrong “Recent incidents arc not developing the right kind of public opinion. No one wants to assume responsibility, although public sentiment is strong in many quarters that a decisive stand should be taken. “Lawyers disagree as to legality of Mayor Duvall’s continuing in office. Os course nothing definite can be done until after the hearing Oct. 8 on the motion for anew trial. I am in hopes something will crystallize after that,” White said. Tax levies, the new 1928 city budget, zoning proposals, the board of works street paving specifications and Monument flood lighting are.to be discussed. Concrete “Break” Asked The federation went on record as favoring a “fair break” for concrete as a street paving material before it was reinstated as a specified material in city’s specifications. “Now they have made the cost of concrete extreme because of the increased requirements. I don’t think that is justifiable,” White declared. It is probable the sedation will take a stand favoring elimination of parking on Monument Circle, as requested by Superintendent Oren Perry. A request of Perry that an ordinance permitting parking, in violation of a State statute, be rescinded is.pending in city council. Perry plans cleaning and flood lighting of the monument and asked the city to aid in the parking 1 problem. William V. Parr of Sbelb.vville has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in Federal Court, listing liabilities of $1,226.48 and assets of $161.50. ~

PAUL, Sept. 28.—Solution of ten murder mysteries was expected by police today as they continued questioning Arthur Hanson, confessed killer of James Barrett, who, in turn, is charged by Hanson with murdering five men and five women in eighteen months.

The shooting occurred on a lonely road in the country. Barrett shot but Hanson shot straighter and killed his adversary. The murder over which the argumentl occurred was the killing of Barrett’s wile and her sister, Lillian Kooser. Hanson was arrested in connection with the cringe in Chicago and brought here. confession followed. "Barrett boasted to me that he had killed so many people he would need a private graveyard to bury them in,” Hanson said.

Girl Flees Treadmill of Toil for Blighter Fields

Weary of Endless Round of Work, She Leaves Her Bedfast Mother. -BY ELDORA FIELD When Iron-bound circumstances have bound a little girl to an endless round of working in a factory— When each Saturday night for months and months she has taken her slender little envelope home to a bedfast invalid mother and a small brother whose sole support she was— When the $8 that came out of that envelop© had to pay the rent of their two shabby rooms, buy groceries, books for the boy, clothes, everything— Then that little gir!, with life In the distance hinting rosy and entrancing dreams, might reason as did 15-year-old Grace Mahlen, daughter of Mrs. Maude Mahlen, 930 River Ave., and decide that the only thing ttf do was to run away. Grace has been missing since Tuesday morning. With her went her sympathizing little girl friend, Lucille Gilley. 15. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Shamback, 1071 W. McCarty St. “Lucille had no reason to run away. She’s undoubtedly gone to help Grace and keep her company,” remarked Mrs. Shamback. “Lucille had worked only one day at the glass factory where Grace was employed. She has taken a good many of her clothes with her and $3 ' Grace's mother, bedfast, invalid for five years, says Grace has no money with her and took no clothes. “She scarcely had more than was on her back, anyway,” she said. “Her pocketbook was empty. If she gets anything to eat, the Gilley girl will have to pay for It. “This all came about because my little girl was so discouraged and heartsick at our circumstances. ‘Mother, I’m so tired. It just seems I can’t stand this grind much longer,’ she’s said a number of times lately. It will just kill me ii they don’t find her soon.” At the time they disappeared, the Mahlen girl had on a worn, dark red coat and a small gray hat. She has dark hair and eyes and weighs about 110 pounds. The Gilley girl also has dark hair, but her eyes are blue. She wore a pink jersey dress, a black and white coat and small black hat. Prof. Fred V. Chew of the Indiana University bureau of business research, will speak on “The Future of Real Estate Education” at the Real Estate Board luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday.

A Doctor’s Prescription

m SHIFT IN CITY SANITARY BOARD PLANNED Mac Fall Says McCullough Is Expected to Make Saving in Operation. No immedwiate shifts in sanitary board depa tmental heads or employes are contemplated as a result of the appointment of F.rwin W. McCull iugh as general t uperintendent cf operation and maintenance, Russell T. Mac Fall, board president, said today. The SC,OOO-a-year post was created by the majority faction board members Tuesday over protest of O. C. Ross. A resolution adopted by Mac Fall and City Engineer Paul R. Brown provides that McCullough “survey all departments for the purpose of a reorganization to provide most Economical and efficient operation and maintenance.” The appointment of McCullough follows factional fights. Several sanitary, department employes expressed the viey that the appointment of McCullough will “mean the ax for several.” “I believe he will save three or four times his salary in purchasing supplies for all departments jointly. Politics had nothing to do with the McCullough appointment,” MacFall said. Retention of McCullough on the sanitary pay roll was made necessary by a contract with the Sims Milling Company, Frankfort, which agreed to buy feed from the garbage plant for $21.65 a ton, he said. McCullough had received $6,000 yearly since 1923 during construction of the garbage plant. He designed the garbage reduction plant and holds a patent on the “McCullough process” for making feed. ’ Mac Fall said the Sims had asked to assign their agreement to another company which agreed on the condition McCullough be retained three years. The contract retaining McCullough, dating from June 16 is expected to be signed Thursday. Meanwhile several car loads of feed have accumulated since August because it does not contain the proper elements specified on + “gs. More crude fiber than provided in the cont'.act ts contained in the feed which ’ed co the assignment of the agreement by the Sims firm, McFall said. Mac Fall said the feed is "salable.” as soon as new tags arc printed. City Engineer Brown said he felt the departments could be operated more efficiently under one head.
