CITY COUNCIL
ELECTS MAYOR

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.,. Nov. 8 Up
A republican city council today
turned to a democrat to lead Ind
annapolis out of it's political dilemma
when it elected L. Ert Slack, form
erly United States district attorney,
to be mayor until January l, 1890,
when the city manager form of gov
ernment will be installed
+ Slack, who was sworn into office
by City Clerk William S.. Boyce within
half an hour after the election,
knew SO little about the city hall
that he had to be directed to the
common council chamber. When the
oath of office was administered,
Claude E. Negley, president of the
council, and for the last two weeks
acting mayor, took the new chief
executive down to his office, turned
the. keys and other property over
to him and left the building.
The election, occasioned by the
council holding that John L. Duvall
automatically vacated the mayorship
or September %, when he was con-
victed of violating the corrupt prac-
tices act, was determined on the 38th
1925 by the republican party, re-.
signed while the council was in ses-
sion.
The, way has not been completely
cleared of obstacles for Mayor Slack,
fer Joseph L. Hogue, city controller
during the administration which sue
ceeded that of Mayor Duvall, has
filed a suit in circuit court to gain
the office himself. Hogue's suit is
based on the contention that Duvall
never was legally elected and there
fore the administration headed by
the late Lew Shank had not gone
officially out of office. Since Shank
has died, Hogue's argument is that
he is The real mayor of Indianapolis.
The selection of Slack ended one
of the most hectic chapters of city
administration in the history OF Ind
annapolis. Within the last two weeks
several men have claimed the office,
among them Ira Holmes, local at
torney, who was appointed city corr
troller by Mrs. Maude E. Duvall, wife
of the mayor, who claimed that she
had advanced from city controller
to mayor when her husband Sreigned. |
Holmes for time sat at the same
desk with Negley, who, in the mean |
time had been named by the council
to act as temporary mayor until
permanent executive was elected !
When the courts refused to dissolve
restraining order obtained by Holmes,
Negley withdrew

through these border ports" Through
the port of Douglas alone the business
is valued at the stupendous sum of
ten millions of dollars annually and
through the port of Nogales, which
is one of the largest ports on the
entire border, the annual business
is more than 80 millions of dollars.
These figures represent the value
of imported and exported gods.
The collector brought out that for
the last year the Arizona district
yielded in revenue, or collections as
the customs men call them, a million
and quarter dollars. He said that
he expects the collections to run
as much as million and a half this
year.
Throughout his interview the chief
of the customs men emphasized the
fact that business is on the increase
and that Mexico is shipping out great
quantities of products while great
quantities of American products are
being shipped into that country.

PARIS, Nov. 8 F9-Washingtons
latest note on the Franco American
tariff negotiations was delivered at
the Quai D'Orsay this evening
1t is considered here on the
strength of Washington dispatches as
merely registering observations of the
last French note on the matter and
not requiring an answer. Comment
on the document was refused at the
foreign office, where it was said that
there is every reason now to expect
that negotiations will proceed under
favorable conditions.
The Franco American experts, hav-
ing finished the list of American
articles on which the minimum tariff
will be afforded pending the negotia
tions, decree putting the same into
effect is expected momentarily.
Active negotiations, however, may
be. somewhat delayed by the fact
ttl.t French tariff experts are al
ready at work on a Franco Belgian

Malon H. Morse and Lawrence F..

from a meeting here of the council

cided to urge repeal of the estate
levy and they could not endorse such

Those urging elimination of the
levy included W. E. Kay, represent
ing the governor of Florida Ralph
r. Knapp for the governor of Wash

ernor of Michigan
When w. S. Baird, a member of
the Iowa senate, took the witness
stand to urge repeal of the federal
inheritance tax, Chairman Green, who
also is from Iowa, and who favors
retention of the levy, developed from
Baird that the Iowa senate had
voted in favor OF repeal of the tax
by one vote margin and that the
house had disapproved repeal 90 to

Baird told the committee he came
to Washington on donated funds.
'They passed the hat and put in
the widows mite to send us here"
he declared.
Baird said the purpose of the trip
was to advise congress how people
felt about the estate tax, adding:

then took up an ambush near the
cave and began firing on the Alneri-

A desperate fight followed. The
wounded marine, despite his injuries,
drew his pistol as did his companion,
and exchanged fire with their assail-

fire.
