TERRE HAUTE LEADER HITS MANAGER LAW Wernecke Advocates Repeal at Democrat Legislators’ v Conference. The latest threats of legislative attacks on the city manager law come from Terre Haute. Richard Wernecke, Terre Haute Democratic leader and former Vigo county prosecutor, told Democratic state senators and representatives in conference here Thursday the existing manager law “ought to be repealed, or strengthened, but preferably repealed.” A petition is being circulated in Terre Haute for* a special city manager election in June, Wernecke said. “Fortunately, we haven’t had the | type of mayors you've had here and ! we didn’t need the city manager plan to get rid of them,” he said. “We Democrats dorr’t want party responsibility wiped out. I’m quite sure that down our way we can elect a Democrat who can run the city as well as a city manager.” Changes Are Discussed He declared "unfair” the proposal for a city manager election in June after the two parties have nominated candidates in the usual fashion in May primaries. Further discussion of proposed changes in the city manager law wul be held by the Chamber of Commerce legislative and legal affairs committee next Thursday at luncheon. Claude H. Anderson, attorney and members of the Indianapolis City Manager League legislative committee, explained the proposed amendments to the Chamber group. Copies will be made for the Chamber committee to study. Seek to Amend Law It was said at the meeting that j some members of the Marion county legislators are opposed to the provision that the city council or commission name commissioners for the manager election. A few favored allowing the regular election commissioners to direct the election. The present law provides that city council president name the commissioners. The league planned to amend the law to provide that council oy ordinance designate the commissioners. A clause providing for proportional representation plan of electing commissioners L? favored by the league and majority of local legislators. Attorneys at the conference warned against taking any steps which would tend to raise questions ns to validity of the law. threatening the bond-issuing power of the city.

SEEK TO SAVE NQRTHCOTT BY MOTHER’S LOVE Hope to Build Up Alibi Defense for Owner of Death Ranch. Bp United Press RIVERSIDE, Cal., Jan. 4.—The unbounded desire of a mother to save her son at any cost to herself appeared today to be Gordon Stewart Northcott’s chief hope to escape the noose in his trial for the murder of three southern California youths. Just before selection of a jury w r as resumed today, Northcott’s attorneys announced that they would continue their demands that Mrs. Louisa Northcott be brought here from San Quentin prison. Through Mrs. Northcott they hope'to establish an “alibi defense” —that her son was not on the farm when any of the slayings were committed. She has insisted that “Gordon was not there.” When Mrs. Northcott was sentenced to life imprisonment for the slaying of the boy, believed to have been Waiter Collins, but said by her to have been an eastern boy, she reiterated that Gordon was not on the farm that night. So anxious was Mrs. Northcott to save her son she wanted to ad-

mit all four slayings, Sheriff Clem Sweeters said. It appears that Northcott might repudiate all confessions attributed to him, and charge that they were obtained by “Ihird degree” methods. The defense gained some hope of adding the plea of not guilty by reason of insanity to its original plea of not guilty when Judge Freeman Thursday granted the defense’s request for a commission of alienists to report on Northcott’s mental condition. QUIZ PAIR IN KILLING Two Suspects Are Nabbed in Rum Car Slaying. Two suspects were held by police today _in the investigation of the murder, believed to have been committed by hijackers, of Richard Whittington, alias Jame? Carroll, near Lebanon the night of Dec. 27. The men were arrested by Detectives John Dugan and Clarence Golder. Whittington was shot down without warning by men in a Stutz car which drew alongside the machine in which he was riding with Urban Pope, Indianapolis rum runner. They had been to Chicago to pick up a ioad of booze, but had returned without any because too high a price was asked, Pope said. The men held drive a Stutz.

That’s the way to avoid the congestion which makes you feverish, achy, half-sick, miserable. Millions know the quick way to open the bowels, keep them active, is with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin. Every second of the day someone, somewhere is going into a drugstore to get a bottle of this splendid medicine, made from simple laxative herbs and pepsin by the formula Doctor Caldwell found so effective during his 47 years’ medical practice. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin is mild and gentle in its action but it is promptly effective on the most robust constitution. Containing neither narcotics or opiates, it is safe for the tiniest baby. Children like it and take it gladly.. For colds, fevers, biliousness indigestion, headaches, heartburn, nausea, bad breath, loss of sleep—any troubles caused by pdor digestion or faulty evacuation.
