MARSHALL FAVORS
REPEAL OF LAW
Will Endeavor to Have Metro
noGtan Police Law Done
Away With.
IN FAVOR OF HOME RULE.
IN LETTER TO MUNcIE OFFICIAL
HE SAYS HE WILL MAKE REC.
oMMENpATioN TO NEXT LEeIs-
lATURE.

Muncie. Ind. Nov. 2S.-Thomas r.
Marshall governor-elect, in letter
written to a local city officer, declares
without equivocation that, when he
said before his election that he favored
home rule by cities, he meant il lit
orally, and as governor he will endea-
vor to carry out his promise made to
the voters to bring about the repeal of
the metropolitan police law, by which
fourteen Indiana cities are governed,
and, failing, will allow these cities to
govern themselves in police way
without his interference regardless of
the politics of the cities concerned.
Democratic politicians here are en-
deavoring to interpret the letter to
mean that Mr.. Marshall will appoint
democrats that the city administra-
tions recommend, but the democrat to
whom the communication was address
ed thinks otherwise since Mr.. Marshall
Is specific in his statement as to the
pledge to appoint and remove exclu-
sively" upon the recommendation of
the mayors and councils of the several

Local politicians have been torn up
over prospects for several weeks. and
each party has several candidates for
police positions. dependent on Mr..
Earshal's attitude. Presumably. the
same condition exists in the thirteen
other Indiana cities governed by the
same law. The majority of the cities
governed by the metropolitan police
law have republican administrations.
Adheres to Prediction Promise.
IF Mr.. Marshall adheres to his pre-
means that he will refuse to grasp the
opportunity for great political power
in a machine way, that would be pre-
sented to him if he were to take ad
vantage of the law as it reads, making
his own appointments in the towns az
fected by that law. II means, further
that he is voluntarily surrendering cer-
! tain undoubted legal privileges com.
monty called rights and that he is
sacrificing not only politics. but also
patronage and partisan friends, to a
prediction promise.
Before the election. Mr.. Marshall
in a public speech in the Auditorium
here. pledged himself to work for the
| repeal of the metropolitan police law

administrations concerned to name

OVER TWO HUNDRED MINERS

NOT ONE MAN WILL ESCAPE

1t was learned here from one of two
foreigners who managed to crawl
from the shaft at the instant of the
explosion, that a defective fan han
died by an inexperienced hand caused
the catastrophe, while another said
that one of the men attempted to
light his pipe. The situation becomes
more desperate every minute.
Begrimed with dirt and oil after
their morning work in nearby mines,
workmen began gathering around the
ill-fated mine. Then the wailing in
creased as different families found
that the one particularly wanted to
appease their anxiety did not appear.
