The request of Ritter, the purchasing agent under Mayor Charles Jewett, asking Duvall and Mrs. Duvall, city controller, to resign was made in a letter to Fortune. Second Request Made A second member of the committee made similar request in a letter, William Book, Chamber civic affairs secretary, announced. His name was not made public. Ritter’s letter stated: “I feel that the time has come when the citizens of Indianapolis shrould ask for immediate resignation of Mr. Duvall as mayor and Mrs. Duvall as city controller. "The matter long since has passed beyond any political consideration. It is an immediate responsibility for all interested in cleaning the name of their city. Whole Structure Affected ‘‘The whole business and social structure of our community is so influenced by the present situation that our governmental difficuitives must be corrected as the first step bn any Chamber of Commerce enterprises. “I formally request that an immediate meeting of the civic affairs committee be held to discuss this matter, with the hope that it can be* presented to the board of directors for approval without delay.” Real Estate Board Acts JChe committee only could recommend to directors that a stand be taken., by the Chamber. It was pointed out a special directors meeting might be called in event the committee favored action. The Indianapolis Real Estate Board, Thursday at luncheon, joined several other civic organizations in demanding Mayor Duvall and Mrs. Duvall, named city controller by her husband, resign from their posts to allow an outstanding citizen to become the city’s chief executive. Duvall was convicted of violating the corrupt practices act by a Criminal Court jury which declared him ineligible to hold office. Duvall has refused to heed the demands that he give over his post to “some person out of politics,” contending he can legally hold office until his conviction is upheld by the Indiana Supreme Court.

MOVIN’ TIME’S HERE + — —— —. Wereon Our Way, Is City Chorus .( r— l HEY used to live here, but they don’t any more.” That’s the opening line of the Housewives’ Chorus from 1 1 J "Moving Time,” being chanted on front porches and in apartment house corridors, to gas, light, water and phone men trying to keep abreast of the annual shift of Indianapolis’ 374,000 restless souls. “No, they don’t all move. What a blessing!” say the utility handy men, “but It seems like it, every September and October.”
For the annual fall migration from the “summer home” to the “town house,” from.the five-room cottage to the "third floor back,” is on. “And how!” add the men who move the meters and the worldly effects. Here are some of the records they stack up in the office when they straggle back these September eve-
nings with their pliers, monkey wrenches, and moving vans: In the last two weeks 450 phone users have transferred from locations. The Indiana Bell Telephone Company finds October and May the heaviest moving months. Last October 1,633 patrons switched phone locations, said Phil M. Watson, division comnjprcial superintendent. In May this year, 1,437 made the change and fall migrations will equal t, Watson believes. An interesting observation on this year’s moving was made by John Stenger, credit manager for the Citizens’ Gas Company:
east side and went there a year or two ago, is going ‘back home’ to the south side again. “Os course there are hundreds of exceptions—but there is a drift this fall from the north to the east, and from the east to the south.” So far this month, the gas company has made 2,365 transfers of gas meters, as compared with 3,009 for the same period a year ago. Two j hundred twenty-three new patrons began using gas; 1,725 meters were taken out; 1,725 were put in, and 640 were transferred without movement of meters. Fewer families who move have to have water meters transferred, ! records at the Indianapolis Water Company show. In the second week this month, 291 water users had their supply turned on, while 197 had it turned off. The following week 159 were turned on and 179 off in the moving scramble, Manager H. S. Morris said. i
Meter men are getting their seasonal workout too, at the Indianapolis Power and Light Company., Between Sept. 1 and Sept. 26, 4,865 users of electric current in the city ordered their current discontinued. Os this number, 4,075 apparently were set down at new addresses by the moving vans and promptly ordered the current started. Most of
the 800 lost in the shuffle went into aparements where individual meters are not necessary, light company officials believe. Transfer men add their testimony that Indianapolis is “on th move” right now, getting settled for winter comfort. Apartments ar exchanging tenants about as fast as the vans will carry them, say thei owners and rental agents.
GILLIOM PROMISES FACTS ON SENATORS
William A. Pickens, ..former president" of the Indiana State Bar Assocaition, today received from Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom a letter assuring him that “all the facts” in the Shumaker-Rojjinson-Watson letter incident will be revealed before the State Supreme Court. Pickens Thursday suggested that every act of Senator James E. Watson, Senator Arthur R. Robinson and the Rev. E 8. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana AntiSaloon League, in connection with the letter incident, he bared to the public. The letters referred to were those exchanged by Shumaker and Watson at the time Shumaker sought the aid of Watson and Robinson to keep him from receiving a jail sentence from Supreme Court upon Gilliom’s charge that Shumaker’s 1925 annual report was contemptuous. Gilliom’Hetter to Pickens: “I acknowledged your letter of Sept. 28, in which you express the hope that all facts relevant to the last motion I filed in the Shumaker case will be elicited.

Meanest Balloon Vendor at Lebanon Stuck Children With Pin for Selling Cry.
By Times Special r- —IEBANON, Ind., Sept. 30. j Challenging the world to 1 1-1 1 produce a meaner man this, a Lebanon jeweler who repaired a ring for the vendor of toy balloons during the stay of a circus here explains as follows* The vendor wanted a pin quarter of an inch long resoldered on a ring which he wore on one of his little fingers. With the armed ring, the vendor would approach a child which was accompanied by its parents. Placing his hand on the child’s shoulder, he would remark, “Wouldn’t you like to have a balloon, my little fellow,” at the same time jabbing the pin into the shoulder. Then the child would cry. The parents, believing the tears were caused by a desire for a balloon, bought. Some children were seen here on circus day with two or three balloons, the jeweler says.

M’CRAY TELLS HIS LIFE STORY Reveals HiS Inmost Thoughts for World to Heed
EDITOR’S NOTE—The following story of hts life was written by WarT. McCray, for the new Breeders' Gazette before the gates of Atlanta Prison were opened to free him. By WARREN T. M’CRAY (Courtesy New Breeders’ Gazette) SONG centuries ago the glaciers from the frozen North slowly forced their way down over my homeland. They leveled all before them and left a vast prairie that for untold ages grew rank with luxuriant vegetation, maturing, decaying, returning to Mother \Earth increased fertility to awart the day when human courage and intelligence, muscle and endurance, would wrest fn n her bosom the splendid civilization that is to be found there today. Sixty-five years y ago my father and mother migrated to this fair section. Soon after their marriage in March, 1862. they journeyed from a centrally located county in Indiana to the newly acquired home in Newton County. At that time a Journey of a hundred miles, taken in the spring ’of the year through treacherous swamps and over roads that were almost impassable, was mere of an event than a trans-continental trip today. It was very desirable to have some timbered lots for the protection of the cattle and livestock in winter time and my father had that in mind also when he made the choice of his future home. Into that home they took youth, industry, ambition, courage, determination, faith and hope, ,all bound together by the insoluble bonds of love.' It was in this pioneer home that I was born. From the time I became old enough to maintain my balance on a horse, I was placed on a gentle old gray mare that they called Nell, and my father would take me with him on his rounds among the cattle. From that time on, my love for them has never abated. It was never a fad or a passing fancy. • • • Mi— |Y father never owned a herd of registered cattle, but he always kept a herd of well-bred gradee cows, whose progeny he developed as baby beeves, using good registered Hereford bulls in the herd. He also handled a great many steers. in those days Fowler & Van Natta, Fowler, Ind., did a big business in feeding cattle, as well as having one of the most promising herds of registered Herefords in the United States. I well remember when I was a boy of 12 I went with my father to visit Mr. Van Natta to see about selling him a drove of steers. As we were about ready to turn our faces hmoeward Mr. Van Natta said: “Before you go I want to show you our pure-bred herd.” “We were glad for the invitation and opportunity. He took us down to the big barn on the old Hickory Grove farm, west of

It was a revelation to me. • * * j HAT day has lingered long in my recollection and only accentuated my natural love for cattle and stimulated my desire and increased my determination sometime to own and produce specimens of which I also could be proud.

I then and there made up my mind that some day I would own a herd of Hereford cattle.

Entered as Second-class Matter at Postoffice. Indianapolis.
How that resolution was kept and how my fondest dreams came true can be answered by the record made on Orchard Lake Stock Farm. Hereford history was made by the herd maintained there for a period of seventeen years, by Prime Lad bulls and the “King of Hereford sires,” Perfection Fairfax, for twelve years supreme as the head of the herd. * * * ml ERE is no bush so small but that it casts a shadow, and no breeder of livestock can afford to overlook the boys whp show an inclination toward animal life. In their eager minds there may be seed sown, which in the aftermath may take root and blossom into full power. The record of Orchard Lake is of such recent date that most cattlemen know it. In addition to the fortunate selection of the breeding stock, its success was built up by giving every man who was a customer, either at my sales or at private treatey, asquare deal. In every business in which I have ever been engaged I have had for a slogan, “Once a customer, always a customer.” That slogan was made good. My good father used to say, “When in doubt over any controversy, get over in the other man’s shoes and view things from his standpoint for a while, and see how they then look.” This was but another adaption of the principles embodied in the Golden Rule, given to the world by the lowly Nazarene for the guidance of men in their dealings with each other. I endeavored to apply this rule in all my cattle dealings, and, if anything, I went farther than I would expect others to g.o in my desire to satisfy. ♦ * * mMADE mistakes. And who does not? But the biggest mistake that I made was that I was too lenient with those who were in my debt. Out of my confidence in them, and from my faith in the values of the vast holdings I had in land and cattle, which I loved with an inordinate rondness, and which all at once became positively unsalable, and moreover, a great burden to carry, I was forced to extend my credit to meet the annual deficit. I did not realize the unparalelled and devastating shrinkage that had taken place in all the commodities in which the accumulations of a long life of incessant toil and frugality were invested. Still having faith that a country that was as prosperous as this in every other line could not long see its basic industry, lie prostrate and helpless, I continued to go ahead. I knew better than any one else that every dollar that I had, and every piece of property that I owned, was behind every dollar that I had obligated myself for, whether there remained anything for my wife and myself or not. I could not believe that all the vast equities that I had in the property up to and including the years 1919 and 1920, had dwindled away until they were not ample security for all those kind enough to extend me credit. * * * r— —iHE burden of the duties of ITI the position with which I I. * I was honored were so exacting that I was forced to neglect my private affairs just at a time when they demanded my personal attention more than ever before. This played an important part in the events which followed and which constitute one of the saddest chapters that has even been written about the life of any man. It has been said that adversity has its uses. This is undoubtedly true, though the lessons taught may sometimes be obtained at a terrific price. Without trials we would never know our Without storms, a house could as well be built upon sand as upon a foundation of rock. Many men of virtue and honor have boen misunderstood and have endured slander and calumny, humiliation and disgrace far beyond their deserts, courageously and humbly, because in their heart of hearts they knew that they had committed no wrong, intentionally. In the dark days of adversity many things are seen with anew understanding. The Scriptures take on anew significance, and many passages that had never attracted any particular attention come to the reader as a ray of light that pierces the shadows and illuminates and makes clear that which had hitherto been either complex or obscure.
school, Ure M. Frazier, business director, said. He recalled two girls, one 21 and the other 24, who were permitted to return to schcol this year, after having dropped out in order to work to support themselves. Neither was married. “I believe we have the right to accept unmarried persons over 21 if they are willing to pay tuition,” Frazier said, “but, in my opinion, they should attend night schools rather than day schools.”
VANDAGRIFFT FACES STOCK DEAL CHARGE Violation of Securities Law of State Is Alleged by Grand Jury, TWO OTHERS ARE HIT f Sale of Unregistered ‘Oil Well Rejuvenator’ Units Is Charged. The Marion County grand Jury today indicted Virgil Vandagrifft, board of works president, on a charge of violation of the State securities law and boosted the number of present and former Duvall administration city officials under indictment to five. F. F. Wellsmer, 2105 Park Ave., and D. L. Taylor, Louisville, Ky., were indicted with Vandagrifft.

McCray $lO,000 and a guarantee, he would not be convicted of any crime in State courts if he would name a man of their choice as Marion County prosecutor.
