SHANK’S REGIME PROBE STARTEO BY DUVALL MEN Probe of Present Boards Also Is Asked by John L. On recommendation of John L Duvall, who says he is.mayor of Indianapolis, city council today considered an investigation of alleged political corruption in the admin istraton of the late Samuel L. Shank, as well as that of Duvall. In a communication to city council Monday night Duvall cited alleged misconduct of park and works board members under the previous administration, his attack being centered on Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson, former park commissioner, and William H. Armitage, Shank’s political mentor. Duvall also cited reports about his own boards, but said improprieties had been -stopped. Loose Spending Charged Duvall charged city property was given away to administrative favorites; boulevards built to enhance value of property of public officials; $250,000 spent for benefit of Butler College; $500,000 profit from street work, and $250,000 otherwise misspent. \ Councilmen Robert E. Springsteen and Edward B. Raub first heard of the Duvall request when it was read in meeting. Duvall also sent a resolution empowering Council President Claude E. Negley to name himself chairman of a committee of five to investigate. Duvall did not attend, but sent the documents to council by Detective Sergt. Arthur Reeves, his chauffeur. Sumner Clany, head of Marion County elephants, who has been in frequent conference with Duvall and is believed to have advised him in several moves, was an interested spectator at the session. Argue Over Method Councilman Raub moved “the communication be accepted and filed.” Councilman Boynton J. Moore protested. “What do you mean ‘filed’?” “Well, what do you want?” Raub asked. “I favor a committee to look into this,” he implied. “So do I,” Raub said. “But I want to include this administration.” “Well, I’ll name that commitee later,” commented Negley. Negley later got into a parliamentary tangle when Moore moved that the committee as a whole consider the inquiry. Meanwhile there was stillness for several minutes while Negley and Raub pondered over council rules. Negley finally referred the matter to the committee of the whole.

SYNOPSIS NANCY was pretty, a GAGE, and a blue-blood, even though she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling in love and becoming engaged to handsome ERIC NELSON, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s, a rich school chum. Nancy’s pride causes her to break the engagement when she finds that Eric’s mother is a laundress at the Harcourt’s. Unable to stand the tension of her enforced separation from the man she loves. Nancy goes to live in San Francisco. Here she meets Jerry Hall, a man about town, whom Nancy starts grins with when she hears that Eric is interested in another girl. Nancy’s father suddenly is Injured and Nancy, now without funds. Is forced to take Jerry into her confidence. He tries to impose on her trust, however, thus compelling Nancy to work out the enigma for herself. Through a former school chum, Sue Martin, who works in a big department store. Nancy gets a job. She then goes to live with Sue. Edith Harcourt Journeys to San Francisco and Nancy, visiting her. meets Richard Adams, whose sister Chloris Is interested In Eric Nelson. Richard and Nancy become good friends. CHAPTER XXXIV Why did her heart begin to beat so fast? Was it because Richard’s advice frightened her? Or because it would so simplify her future? She wanted to take it. Then, at least, she would know. If she went to Eric and told him she had made a mistake, but she felt differently now, what would his attitude be? Richard was a man—another type, to be sure— but didn’t they all react more or less the same? It wasn’t as If she hadn’t been engaged to Eric. She had broken the engagement. Therefore it was up to her to make the first advance. He had insisted that HE would never ask anything more of her. Even his appearance in the store had been a distinct concession So Nancy told herself, while all the time a sense of her own futility beat like a muffled drum in the recesses of her brain. Eric’s manner had not been encouraging. But she would try it. She must try it. How could she, possessing the glorious devotion of a man like that, have tossed it aside? In the light of her recent experience, she could not understand the feverish, self-centered narrowness which had made her act as she did. “Do you realize,” Richard reminded her gently, ‘that you haven’t spoken to me for at least ten minutes?” Instantly repentant, she forced her attention back to the man at her side. But as soon as she was in her room her thoughts were all of Eric. She was consumed with a desire to force the issue. Not to let the situation drift. Just a little over a year since she had met him striding up Sycamore Hill. How little "f that time they had really spent together. Yet he was more familiar to her than anyone else in the world. From the beginning she" had seemed a part of him. With little cords of emotion tightening in her throat, she wrote her letter. Sue was awake, so she dared show no hint of her inner excitement. But sheet after sheet of paper was destroyed before she achieved a satisfactory message. Dear Eric—Will you arrange to see me for a little while the next time you’re here. NANCY. The next morning she mailed it with a little silent prayer. “Oh God, please make him understand!” Two days later she had her answer.

San Francisco Saturday. If you can have lunch with me, meet me at the Palace at noon. ERIC NELSON. It was a formal note. But what more could she expect? “Nothing,” she insisted, choking back the fears which mocked her. “If he loved you,” they whispered, “he would have asked to see you at night.” “I couldn’t have seen him If he had,” she retorted fiercely. "I have a date with Richard.” Then, tauntingly, “But you would have broken that, wouldn’t .you? You would break any engagementno matter how important—to see HIM.” The prospect of an hour with him and the significance of it caused her a restless night. Her eyes were dark with excitement, her mouth tremulously sweet, as she put on her hat at noon She knew she was prettier than she used to be, but Eric had never raved over her appearance as Jerry did. Jerry! She had almost forgotten him. A moment later she was on the street, walking to meet her fate. Eric made no mention of her request. His manner was friendly. He asked about her work. Finally she said, “I wanted to see you for a special reason, Eric.” “You did? What was that?” His impersonality made it hard, but remembering Richard’s advice and goaded by her own suffering she sad bravely, “You said the other day in the store that you held-noth-ing against me. Is that true?” His steady gaze met hers. “Certainly. Why should I lie to you, Nancy?” “I don’t know. I hoped you meant it, but I didn’t know. Oh, Eric, don’t you suppose I see now what a fool I was?” She could not understand the emotion which swept his face. It gave him a stunned, incredulous look, but with a hint of that same

restraint she had noticed previous-' ly. It was this intangible “something” she fought. “I love you, Eric. I have never stopped loving you. I was a silly, inexperienced little snob ” His incredulity had become horror. “Please don’t go on! For both our sakes.” .... Then she understood. “You mean—oh, you mean there is someone else?” <> He nodded and the red flame of humiliation dyed her cheeks. “I had no idea you intended to say anything like this,” he said, wretchedly. “No idea you felt this way.” Nancy lifted her glass of water to her lips. She was thinking, “Well at any rate, I know.” He continued, “Os course, I’m not going to take this seriously. You feel differently because you’ve been away. If you were forced to come back and live under the old conditions.” . . . “It wouldn’t matter,” she said bravely. “You don’t believe me because you don’t want to. But I’ve I changed. It wouldn’t make any dis- | ference now what your mother did.” : She faced him with her soul in her ; eyes. But there was nothing more to lose. She had paid the supreme sacrifice. Outside they walked rapidly and in silence. His face was set and stern. She had put both of them in an embarrassing position. But she would not attempt to wriggle out of it. When they reached the store she forced herself to say
