SEES NO HOPE FOR
CITY, COMMISSIONS

Little hope was entertained Mon
day by Oliver LaFuze, of Liberty, that
the present session of the Indiana gen
eral assembly would enact any legisla-
ton providing a commission or man
agerial form of government for cities.
Il am in favor of giving cities a
commission form of government If
they want it," said Representa- tive La
Fuze. "The main work of the session,
drafting of emergency legislation, is
over" he added. land it is not likely
that it will be possible to do anything
with commission government for cit
les"
According to the Wayne county So
Ion there is some opposition among
other legislators to the commission
plan.
Mr.. LaFuze said he had been watch
ing the developments in the civic af-
fairs of Richmond with a great deal
of interest

IN LEAD
BUT RACE IS SLOW

SANDY HOOK, July 26.-At 500
o'clock, two and half hours after the
start Of the fifth race of 1920 for the
Americas cup, Resolute was leading
Shamrock w by about three-quar-

Working further to weather, Reso-

about a mile and a half. There was
little prospect, however, that the race
would be finished in the time limit.
Although they had actually covered
nearly a dozen miles of luffing
match that took the racing sloops far
into the Jersey shore, the race had
covered less than half of the first Is
mile leg.
With scarcely a breath of air watt
ing across the racing line, the contest
fast developed into a fight between
