All of today’s votes and Monday’s must be in the hands of the ignoble judges of the annual fracas before 9 o’clock Tuesday morning. The contest winner will be announced in the home edition Tuesday. His photo, testing the kingly crown, will be shown. Then on Thursday night at 8 o'clock or thereabout, Mountain or Standard or Daylight Savings time, the King of 1932 will be crowned at the state fairground, in front of the racetrack grandstand. Give ’Em the Bird The nine runnersup in the contest will be there with their friends if they can limp or come in a tandem. Everyone knowing how to give the new ruler the “bird’’ is requested to be on hand. As the last balloting days draw to a close, the apparent runaway race being staged by Thomas Quinn of White Furniture Company origin, has caused touted candidates to crawl into prairie dog holes and pull the holes in after them. Tom, so sure of the regal kelly, took his Saturday night bath yesterday and topped it off by getting a barber college haircut in readiness for the blessed event. In the meantime, there’s a sixhorse race going on in the standings among Earl Cox, Chief Mike Morrissey. Armored Car “Bill” Williams, Works Board McKinney, Attorney Dulberger and “Heinie” Goett. Old Votes Tossed Out Morrissey, McKinney, and Goett lost votes by bringing in ballots as old as limburger cheese. Many wrrr undated, with the result they were tossed into the ash-heap. The motto of the five tail-enders in the standing appears to be, “Get Earl Cox.” “Cootie” McGinnis and Ballroom Mushrush are staging a little private duel for third place on the skullduggery list, with Mushrush gaining ground. Don't forget—two more days Fj vote, today and Monday. Today’s ballots and Monday’s will be good until Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Step on the gas! It's the last lap of the 1932 BROWN DERBY tilt.

Demoted Detective Chief Sues for Dale’s Ouster

Charges Muncie Mayor Is Ineligible for Office Due to Conviction. By Timm Special MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 3.—Ousting of George R. Dale from the office of mayor of Muncie is demanded in a suit filed Thursday in Delaware superior court against the city council, by Albert R. Rees, city detective chief, demoted to patrolman Wednesday night. Rees alleged that Dale became ineligible to hold office in May, when he was convicted by a federal court jury at Indianapolis of a liquor conspiracy chrage. Dale has appealed his case to the United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago. It also is alleged Dale has committed “more than 500 separate felonies,” it being charged that he collected from two-thirds of the persons he appointed to city positions, 10 per cent of their salaries to form a fund by which he paid his counsel in the federal court trial. Violation of the corrupt practices act also is alleged. It is charged that Dale, as a candidate for mayor, promised “advantages and preferments” to Vernon Walbum and Clifton Cranor and received “large sums of money” from them. The two men were important government witnesses in the liquor conspiracy case. In a statement following filing of the suit, Rees asserted he would not accept the demotion which was ordered by Police Chief Frank P. Massey. It is said the same course will be followed by Jerry Curran, demoted from sergeant to patrolman. Curran was a witness against Dale. At the time Dale is alleged to have demanded 10 per cent contributions from appointees, Rees says he was paying special counsel to assist in prosecution of Raymond Powell, patrolman, slayer of Francis Rees, 21, son of the detective chief. Young Rees was shot fatally after he dropped a valise containing eleven bottles of beer and fled, despite a command of Powell to halt. Powell was acquitted. Forks were introduced into England by Thomas Coryat in 1608.
