Duvali. former mayor, against eight local men, whom he charged with conspiracy to run him out of office, was not considered seriously today by the defendants. He charged conspiracy to oust him from office in 1927. Duvall alleges that he was offered large amounts of money to influence activities of city departments, and officials in such enterprises as the establishment of the Mt. Moriah cemetery on Kessler boulevard and the merger of the Indianapolis Light "and Heat and the Merchants Heat and Light Companies. He also alleged that Mayor L. Ert Slack drew the proceedings that ousted him, after certain testimony given the grand Jury by city officials was taken to “Slack’s summer home south of the city.”

Coffin Also Accused Other defendants are George W. Coffin, district Republican chairman; Police Chief Claude M. Woriey; John W. Holtzman, speejal deputy prosecutor during the political corruption investigation; C. O. Dodson, leader of Republican counr ty faction; L. H. Trotter, former member of the works board, ind William H. Remy, former prosecutor. Coercion, misappropriation of city funds and conspiracies to defraud are charged against the oefciidants. The suit alleged that \ue the conspiracy Slack is not rightfully mayor and all persons folding appointments under him are illegally in office. Worley said the suit was “too insignificant to comment on.” Coffin asserted that “as far ps I am perspnallv concerned there is not a word of truth in it.” Remy and the other defendants declared they had no comment to make because “it is so ridiculous.” Offered 5150.000 Du\all charged Coffin with visiting him and telling him he should let others run the alleged political side of the light merger and that if he would do this there was $150,000 to be distributed. He charged that Coffin said he would be put out of office and that the- light, merger was listed at $55,000,000 while the actual value of the properties was about $30,000,000. It was alleged that two local bankers, not named in the suit, urged him to resign. The suit eharged that Worley visited Duvall before he resigned and said there was “a lot of money to be made in a transfer of the gas plant and that, Holtzman would be the man to handle the gas question.” ELIHU ROOT IS 84 Ex- State Secretary Celebrates Birthday by Sailing for Europe.

Feb. 15.—The legislative jam w-hich has always characterized the closing days of short sessions of congress now has enveloped the senate where bills are being battered against each other in a fight for precedence.

These measures still have a chance, but there are others which appear already to be hopelessly lost, including the proposed $24,000,000 increase for prohibition enforcement. Unless the bills are passed before noon March 4 they are dead, and must start life all over again at the next session. FAVOR UNIFORM PAY County Clerk Support Salary Measure for Officers.

GERMANS GET DOWN TO FACTS ON WAR DEBTS Present Specific Figures on What Berlin Can Pay in Reparations. Du United Press PARIS, Feb. 15.—The German delegation was getting down to specific figures tending to show how much Germany can pay in the international conference of reparations experts today. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and his two colleagues are presenting the German case in minutest detail.

The conference spokesman said the Germans are presenting figures on the Reichs’ visible and invisible trade balance, bank deposits and how they are expending and how paying off the $3,250,000,000 borrowed by Germany since the war. The figures were expected to aid in making first estimates on how much Germany can be expected to pay annually and how her prosperity index can be calculated for the future. The atmosphere of the conference room still was that of a friendly directors' meeting, but disagreement was forecast when the Germans finally have finished and the other nations take the floor to dispute the German figures. The French and Belgian delegates are the most alert, continually interposing questions. Owen D. Young of the United States is an affable chairman. His colleague, J. P. Morgan, signifies his close attention by occasional monosyllabic remarks.
