CITY EMPLOYES NOT TO UNITE IN NOV.S POLL Mayor Firm in Denunciation of Politicians Seeking Public Offices. BY EDWIN V. O’NEEL City hall employes will not unite In support of a ticket in the Nov. 5 election of seven city commissioners, Mayor L. Ert Slack said today on returning to the city after spending a few days at French Lick. The mayor will take a week’s rest at his summer cottage in Johnson county, driving to his office here occasionally to handle emergency matters. "But, if I don't like the setup 111 fight it,” he said. “I don’t want to see any politicians or tools of politicians get in offices at city hall. We have been on the make here at city hall and are still on the make at the court house,” Slack declared “There are some influenc&s that just can’t keep away from positions which carry appointive power or authority to let contracts,” Slack said. Not Manager Candidate Indications are that several administrative leaders feel that independent candidates will “draft” Slack for the post of city manager in event of their election in- November. The mayor has said repeatedly he is not a candidate for city manager. Already “the woods are full” of independent candidates who desire to land a berth on the new city manager commission which takes office in January. Many are awaiting the state supreme court decision on constitutionality of the law and announcment of the City Manager League ticket before announcing their candidacy. Petitions bearing 960 signatures, 3 per cent of the 96,000 votes cast in 1925, must be filed on or before Oct. 5 with City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr. The city election commission. William H. Remy, Reginald Sullivan and Boyce, requested candidates not to file petitions until after the decision on the law’s constitutionality. Politicians Want Delay In event the supreme court’s decision is handed down near Oct. 5, election commissioners will be rushed in checking over the petitions to determine validity of the signatures. The city clerk’s office has five days to check petitions, according to statute. A delayed decision would be advantageous to the political organizations, machine politicians always being well organized to put over their tickets. In event the law is held unconstitutional the city manager law “saving clause” provides that an election be held within sixty days. The city committee would pick the ticket if the supreme court should hold the saving clause section to be unconstitutional. BOSSIES COME HOME AFTER LONG VACATION Owner Claims Cows Which Police Held for Two Weeks. Four cows which have been under the paternal care of Deputy Sheriff Ollie Mays for two weeks, were back in home pastures today after Paul Wade. 5901 North Keystone avenue, claimed them as his “very own.” Mays found the cows wandering near Sixtieth street and rented a pasture, but was unable to milk them. After days of futile efforts, Mays employed a man living near the temporary pasture to do the milking. Wade said he did not miss the cows until Wednesday night and that a neighbor told of a newspaper itory about Mays’ efforts to care for the bovines.

Sticky Error Bu United Pr<x WHITEHALL, N. Y.. Aug. 23. Max Gordon enjoyed sleeping in a tent until recently. The reason for his change in attitude was a porcupine which he mistook for his pet poodle. It happened thus: One night while dozing in his tent Max felt a small animal moving across his bed. Thinking it was the poodle, he aimed a vigorous kick at the intruder. He spent the rest of the night picking quills from his foot. Hereafter he will sleep indoors.

RAIN HALTC TESTS Police Brake Examination Work Is Delayed. Annual brake tests sponsored by police and the Hoosier Motor Club, which were begun Monday, were halted today because of slippery pavements that make tests hazardous. Os 1,250 autos halted by squads under Lieutenant Frank Owens, head of the accident prevention bureau, Thursday, only twenty-one were found to have faulty brakes. Drivers of these cars will appear at police headquarters Saturday for a retest. The ratio of drivers whose cars are equipped w ? ith poor brakes has fallen from 1 to 9, to 1 to 24, Police Chief Claude Worley said. He added the tests may be made monthly, or semi-monthly instead of annually in the future. CITY WORKERS RENAMED Three Librarians Reappointed to Committees. Three Indianapolis citizens have been reappointed to standing committees of the American Library Association, according to announcements from Chicago headquarter". Louis J. Bailey, director of the Indiana state library, was renamed to the committee on federal and state relations; Miss Vera E. Morgan, of the Indianapolis public library was reappointed to the committee on foreign bom; and Miss Hazel B. Warren, Indiana state library attache, is on the committee on committees.

FARM HEAD RESIGNS Bureau Director to Take New Position, Ward T.

The insurance firms are combined in extending life and automobile insurance to farmers in twenty-two western and midwestern states. Martindale will continue to reside here but his duties will take him throughout the region served by the companies. His successor will be named by farm bureau directors at a meeting to be called soon by President William H. Settle. After offering Indiana farmers auto insurance through the Bloomington company for five years, the Indiana bureau last May voted to offer life insurance through the allied company.
