Headquarters will continue to be
maintained. The decision to post
pone filing Of the petition merely
means that a campaign of a years
duration will be conducted instead
OF a campaign for a few weeks.
File Names Later
Approximately 10000 names to pc.
titions asking for manager refer.
endum have been obtained and they,
with additional names, will be filed
with the city clerk at later date.
Postponement OF filing the petition
means simply that the manager ref.
erendum will be held early next
year instead of this year.
The committee in charge of the
manager campaign foresaw difficult
ties in making a campaign for adop.
ton of the referendum in a pc
riod possibly as short as two weeks.
They also foresaw an attempt on
the part of politicians to fight the
question out in the courts, thus de-
laying the referendum until next
year, even though the petition had
been filed today.
The statement, addressed to the
citizens OF Indianapolis, follows:
THE members Of the citizens com.
mittee of 1000, after careful in
vestigation, are thoroughly con.
vinced that this city needs above
everything else, honest, economical
and scientific administration Of our
civic affairs.
THE record Of the political
system over a long period of years
In thousands of cities. is in itself
conclusive evidence OF the difficulty,
If not the impossibility, of obtaining
and maintaining a businesslike ad-
ministration of municipal affairs
under our present form of city gov.
ernment.
I'm direct contrast to this we
have the unbroken record of the
City Manager Plan in $50 cities,
scattered throughout thirty.one diff
ferent States, the universal testimony
of whose citizens is that under city
managers costs Of government are
reduced, taxes are lowered, the
peoples money is wisely spent,
economy Is enforced, police and fire
protection are improved, prosperity
and growth are augmented and civic
interest stimulated.
Success of Plan
I'VE are being told that II we did
our duty under the present system,
we would have just as good govern
ment as under the manager plan.
Our answer is this: Those cities hav.
ing the manager plan are, according
to the testimony of their own citi-
zens, enjoying the benefits of good
government. while 1t is we'll known
that almost all cities under the polit.
ical system are getting just the re-
verse.
"In less than two weeks. without
any publicity, one thousand citizens
signed a definite commitment, each
pledging himself to work for the
adoption of a city manager govern
ment, whether it took six months or
six years. This number has since
increased to fifteen hundred, and the
list is still growing.
''In one week, with no semblance
Of an organization, and In the face
of the determined opposition of the
combined forces Of all political or
ganizations, thousands of citizens
have signed petitions asking for an
opportunity to vote for a change in
our form Of government under the
law.

Of the highest price by May wheat

Speculation in wheat rose to fever

S! eculative interest switched to the

Tremendous activity in the oil

creasing crude production. reduction
Of surplus stocks and rising crude oil
and gasoline prices. Practically all
the active issues sold at higher prices

Abandon Opposition
To Nomination of
Stone as Justice

Washington. Feb. IA second ia
vcrable report on the nomination Of
Attorney General Stone to be a JUS
tice OF the supreme court is forecast
by a majority Of the members Of the
senate judiciary committee when the
nomination is reconsidered tomor-
row.
Senator Walsh, Democrat. Mon
tana. and other senators who are op-
posed to the action Of the department
OF justice in presenting a conspiracy
charge against Senator Wheeler.
Democrat. Montana. and other per-
sons of that state to a District Of
Columbia grand jury instead Of to a
grand jury in their own state. have
stated that they will interpose no
further objection to the confirmation
Of Mr.. Stone.
These senators expect to discuss
the new Wheeler case in the senate
but say this will have no bearing on
the question of the nomination. Sem
ator Walsh. who Is counsel for Sem
ator Wheeler. plans to make his po-
sition clear in an address tomorrow.
and Senator Borah. Republican.
Idaho. intends to speak on the ques-
IAou at SOILS ldler time.
Both senators will argue that to
bring in the District of Columbia al
action that could lie in the home
state of the men under investigation
Is violative of fundamental prin g.
oiple of law. They contend that once
the principle of such federal govern
ment action is established, an in
Creasing number Of cases will be
brought in the courts here, thus
working hardship on defendants by
compelling them to travel hundreds
of thousands of miles to make their
defense.
Attorney General Stone made
his position on this subject clear to
senator's in the statement he read
TO tho Judiciary committee last week.
He agrees that there is 4 fundamen-
al principle of law that man should
be tried in the vicinage of the place
where 4 crime has been committed
and contends that in the present In
stance II there has been any crime
many OF the overt acts were commit
ted In the District of Columbia
Under present plans, the govern
ment will begin this week the pre-
sentation of evidence to the grand
jury. There are numerous persons
under investigation and Mr.. Stone
has stated that q approximately 70
witnesses will go before the jury.
These are exclusive of witnesses for
Senator Wheeler, who have been
summoned.
AS described b. the attorney gen.
erai. this inquiry is into an alleged
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment out of valuable oil and mineral
lands in Montana. Besides the Mon
tana man, one or more government
officials are under investigation.
