CITY MANAGER LEAGUE DEMANDS LEGISLATURE CALL

REPEAL OF BILL I SAVING DUVALL | IS GROUP'S AIM * Special Session Is Only Way Out of Present Muddle, Says Resolution. CITY NAME SMIRCHED Jackson Urged to Act at Once, to Repair ‘Wrong Done State/ A special .session of the State Legislature to repeal the mayor saviour bill which prevents Indianapolis citizens from having the city manager form of government they voted in last spring until the end of John L. Duvall’s term was dema ided of Governor Ed Jackson today. The executive committee of the Indianapolis City Manager League adopted resolutions declaring that this demand was made because the special session is ‘the way out, and the only complete way out,” of the present political muddle. The resolution declares: “The affairs of the city of Indianapolis under Mayor Duvall have been and are administered with such complete and utter disregard for the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers that the government of the \ city has been brought into great disrepute in the estimation of the people throughout the entire United States. Conditions Get Worse “Conditions are growing worse and it is impossible to foretell what may result if the situation is not corrected by restoration of rights of citizens.” The Governor is called upon to summon the Legislature not only to repeal the mayor saviour law, but to make “all necessary amendments to the law of 1921 by which the people of this and other Indiana municipalities can establish without further delay a nonpartisan form of government.” The committee “calls upon all good citizens,” and “upon all business and civic associations and all organizations representing groups of good citizens” to join in this demand. Commenting upon Governor Jackson’s siding with the politicians when he signed the mayor saviour bill, the resolutions say: “Had the Governor and the members of the Legislature been able to foresee the inestimable wrong which their action has done to the citizens of Indianapolis and other cities of the State, we believe they would have to interfere with the orderly paßsesses which the people were ■Employing for improvement of their government.” City Hall Excited £ Meanwhile, the atmosphere was tense at city hall. Majority faction members of city council held a conference with Duvall, after which the inayor kept himself in his chambers incommunicado and only one licilman would talk. 5 was Boynton J. Moore, who been talking for two weeks it impeaching the mayor.

He said Duvall rel he would “go 50-50, but not up everything.” lamber of Commerce civic afi committee also met at lunch-

Life for Owning Pint of Gin Is Held Too Severe Penalty by City Critics

Sentence of Fred Palm of Lansing, Mich., to life imprisonment for possession of a pint of liquor; under the new Michigan criminal code, seems a little severe to Indianapolis citizens interviewed by The Times. Palm, first victim of the new law, although arrested five times on liquor charges and several times on misdemeanor charges, was not regarded as a dangerous felon. Nevetheless, possession of liquor, in Michigan, as in Indiana, is a felony. Local comments follow: E. J. Gausepohl, of E. J. Gausepohl and Company, 2363 Broadway St.— I wouldn’t consider possession of liquor an offense which should come under such a severe law. In some ways, the law is a good one, as a man convicted on a really serious charge four times 'is a thorough criminal, with little hope of reform. THE REV. THOMAS N. HUNT, pastor Seventh Presbyterian Church, 1135 Fletcher Ave. —To give a man a life sentence for such a small,

Coxey Blames Political Grief on Indifference

People Need Jolts Such as The Times Has Given Them, Says General. “Public indifference to politics and governments is to blame for the state of affairs in Indianapolis and Indiana,” said “General” Jacob S. Coxey, of Massillon, Ohio, who thir-ty-three years ago led the famous “Coxey’s Army” of unemployed to Washington. General Coxey, .now 73, but as active and alert as ever, was in Indianapolis today on business for his silica sand company—a business which has kept him moving all over the United States for years and since June this year has put 16,000 miles on the car he polits himself. “In the ’9os,” he said, “there were three parties, the Republicans. Democrats and Populists. The Populists kept the situation stirred up so that the rank and file of voters took a real interest in issues and candidates for public office. “But now only about half of the people vote, and most of that half can’t tell, you why they are Republicans or Democrats. And it’s just that situation which makes it possible to elect men whose sole desire is to exploit thier offices for their own good. “The people need a jolt such as The Times has given them in exposing political corruption here. The people must take an interest in government. If they don’t, it’s gone!” “The Federal Reserve Board is responsible for the present defla-

offense as possessing liquor seems rather extreme. However, the present tendency is to favor criminals and I believe the law will have a wholesome restraining influence. Twenty-five years’ imprisonment might serve the same purpose. MEREDITH NICHOLSON, novelist, Golden Hill—Such laws as the New York Baumes law and the new Michigan law, while apparently necessary until we get through with the present epidemic of crime, should be administered with some sanity, some mercy. HARRY M. FRANKLIN, manager Indiana Liberty League, 323 E. North St.—The habitual criminal act is a good thing, as I know from serving twelve years as a police officer. But making liquor possession a felony is all wrong. We have been accustomed to having liquor since our forefathers landed on Plymouth 4Rock. THE REV. R. H.

law is very dangerous in the hands of judges. In some cases it is applicable, as for a man burning churches, but under other conditions, such as where a man is found with liquor in his possession, I cannot see that there should be even the possibility of such a law being invoked. ABE WEINBERG. Rink’s Cloak House, of 3015 N.

MRS. L. G. HUGHES, president Indianapolis Parent-Teacher AssoPlace—A life sentence in the case of Fred Palm, for liquor violation, is too severe.

BEAUTY MARKS IMPORTS SHOW L. S. Ayres & Cos. Exhibits Foreign Products. An extensive array of imported merchandise went on display today at the Import Exposition of L. S. Ayres & Cos. Elaborate window displays have been arranged to exhibit imported luxuries including lingerie from France, gold-lined negligee from Belgium, shawls from London, handbags from Austria, dishes and glassware from Czecho-Slovakia, damask from Ireland and Scotland and rugs from Persia, India and China. "American people are becoming more and more sensitive to beauty,” said Theodore B. Griffith, vice president and merchandise manager of Ayres, in explaining the reagon for the exposition. “There is a demand for things that will bring color and beauty into every-day life, into apparel and into the home.

HINDEMG IS FETED,CHEERED BY THOUSANDS Festivities Such as Kaiser Never Commanded Mark 80th Birthday. BY ERIC KEYSER United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Oct. 3. —Not since the heyday of the reign of the former Kaiser has Germany witnessed such outbursts of popular enthusiasm as occurred on the occasion of President Von Hindenberg’s eightieth birthday, which was celebrated Sunday. Millions of flags fluttered from housetops throughout the county, while thousands of celebrations were held, culminating in festivities at Berlin, where the aged president drew crowds such as even the Kaiser never commanded. From early morning until midnight, tens of thousands thronged to the neighborhod of the presidential palace while other thousands filled the principal streets. Whenever Hindenberg appeared he was given reverberating ovations. Duty to Fatherland All public buildings and most of the private houses displayed flags, the imperial black, white and red flag predominating. Hindenberg’s forenoon was occupied with receptions. Diplomatic corps, delegaf ms from the Federal States and Lie Reichstag, and the cabinet and Chancellor Marx called on him, the latter submitting the Government’s congratulations. Replying, the president thanked Marx and through him-the German people everywhere for the congratulations. He especially was thankful to the population of the occupied territory, “whose liberation will be the foremost object of our foreign policy,” he said. “I have always done my duty to the fatherland,” the former field marshal said. “What remains of my life will continue to be devoted to the fatherland, never to any particular party.” Deplores Internal Strife He deplored persistent internal strife and expressed a hope that one day a conftnon ground may be found for all factions to work in harmony for the good of Germany. At 3:15 p. m., Von Hindenberg, accompanied by Chancellor Marx, drove from the presidential palacs to the Stadium. Thousands of spectators lined the five-mile route and cheered madly as the president passed.
