DUVALL FLAYS CITY CHIEFS AS GRAFT TAKERS

Huge ‘Pay-Off’ Charged in Campaign Speech of Former Mayor. John L Duvall, ousted as mayor of Indianapolis in 1927, charged the ■ av-ofl" in the city last year from v i mbliug, baseball pools and gambling devices was more than SIOO,000, in a scathing attack on the present city administration Thursday night at Cadle tablernacle. About 2.000 persons heard the former klan politician open his campaign for mayor under the old federal system. Many of those present had been active in Duvall’s campaign in 1925 and were klan f unporter at that time. The audience included about fifty former < :’y employes who were in the Duvall administration. “The officials of the city of Indianapolis right at this very moment are permitting the sale of baseball tickets on a large scale. Ail manner of gambling is going on right under the nose of the board cl safety,” Duvall declared. Accusations Hurled * Blind tigers are operating with both eyes open.” he continued. “Daily holdups aifri bank robberies will continue until the head of the law enforcing department of the city cuts out the graft,” Duvall charged. Duvall gave no evidence to substantiate his charge that “we have pome to be a pay-off city.” “Organized crime is commercialized in Indianapolis today worse than it ever was under any previous city administration. I am informed that last year the pay-off in Indianapolis from gambling, baseball pools, liquor, and gambling devices was more than $150,000. Reflect just a little on this and you can understand why there is so much crime. “When I was mayor, Police Chief Claude M. Worley brought a lot of pressure upon me to permit him to make a set-up in the police department. Apologizes for His Action “After the Slack-Holtzman-John-son-Worley combine was made and Slack was elected mayor this same setup, as Worley called it. was made and I have heard no complaint from anyone connected with the city administration.” Tiie audience applauded when Duvall said he “owed the city an apology for the apointment of Worley.” Duvall reviewed his campaign, election and the political corruption investigation, charging he was the victim of intrigue and conspiracy. Duvall alleged that John Holtzman and Emsley Johnson, special corruption inquiry prosecutors and former Prosecutor William H. Remy. started "trading for the office of mayor" after Duvall's conviction. He said he was offered a “clean slate” : if he would resign. Tells of Slack “Deal" “Through George V. Coffin I had marie Worley police chief, a sad I mistake Holtzman. Worley and | others got together. They black- i mailed the city council to elect j L Ert Slack as mayor. This was | after Slack tried to deal with me directly and could not. "Slack called at my office in September. 1927, and undertook to talk , to me about arranging meeting for the purpose of making him mayor. I I declined to have anything to do with it.” Duvall said Slack took grand j j ur v evidence to his Franklin home | over the week-end and used it in preparation of impeachment proceedings for the old council. He told of subsequent efforts to impeach him. SERVES NOTED FIGURES

LINDY ROSIE TO BE MEMORIAL Swedish Society Buys 'Flier’s Birthplace. r.p l nitnl Press DETROIT. April 19.—The threestory brick house in which Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was born here has been purchased by the Swedish Engineering Society of Detroit and is to be preserved as a memorial to the famous flier. Announcement of the purchase was made today by Carl B Parsons, chairman of the ways and means committee of the society. “The society will not convert the home into a Lindbergh museum,” Parsons said. “On the contrary it will be open only to members of the society and their invited guests and while a number of Lindbergh memorials will be suitably placed in the home, the house will maintain the atmosphere of a home rather than a show T place.” All the members of the society are of Swedish descent or of Swedish connection by marriage. Membership is limited to fifty. The society plans to keep the home intact as it “stood when it welcomed Charles A. Lindbergh into the world.” Additions will be built in the rear of the edifice to meet the needs of the society.
