tinued as the engineering center of
the Air Corps.
However. demands made on the en-.
gineering division increased and Me-
Cook Field, only few hundred acres
near the heart of the city, became too
small. The engineering division and
the new material division, combining
the functions of engineering and sup
ply, needed room to expand.
Here was where sentiment and
business came in. 1t was good busi-
ness to keep the engineering division
in Dayton, War Department officials
felt, because the pick of skilled air.
plane engineers and workmen and the
laboratory equipment Of the division
were here.
Here also was the home of the
Wright brothers. The Government
acknowledged this tie. Nevertheless
the engineering station might have
been lost to Dayton had not the pub
lie stepped in. The least on McCooK
Field was about to expire and no
other site was offered.
People Buy Land.
The late John H. Patterson, manu-
facturer and economist, led a move
ment that resulted in the purchas-
ing of $500 acres of land by public
subscription by people OF Dayton ano
the entire Miami River Valley. Tne
land was donated to the Government
for the new field. CONSTRUCTION was
started about year and a half ago
and so far the field represents an
outlay, including land, Of approx
mately $5,000,00O. When completed
the investment will be between $H-
100000 ard $8,000,000.

CONVICTED MAYOR
REFUSES TO RESIGN
Indianapolis Official Denies
Crookedness and Says He
Win Hold Post.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. october H.
With the cheers of approximately
800 persons ringing in ms ears
| Nfa;,oY, Iohn Il. Duvall of Indianapolis
declared at a publis meeting here that
| bo would NOT resign his Office as re-
st,lt of heing found guilty recently OF
violating the corrupt practices act.
DuvaI is scheduled to appear In
criminal Court today for sentence. "A
iurv September % found him guilty
of having promised to let William II.
Armitage name persons to three pup
lie offices in return for $lO,OOO ana ms
nolitical support in the 1925 election.
The jury fixed punishment at s1'VVV
fine. 80 DAYS Imprisonment and dis
barment from holding public office for
four years.
Denies Regime Crooked.
Duyall and other speakers at the
meeting, which was promoted by city
hall employes, attacked the Indianap-
oils newspapers for demanding that
Duyall resign. Duvall declared that
the Marion County grand jury, which
a wear ago began an investigation OF
alleged political graft in Indiana, had
failed to find anything crooked in his
administration.
'fOf course, mistakes have been
made in the administration" the
mavor said. Mistakes that have been
made are not the cause of the present
criticism. The same influences that
worked against me before the election
are at work now. 1t is my firm con-
viction that if a certain thing had not
happened there would not have been
any criticism. If the Hon. Samuel M.
Ralston was living today you would
regard me as one of the best mayors
the city ever had"
Refuses to Resign.
Mayor Duvall failed to elaborate
these points.
John Duvall, in Office or out of of.
fice," he went on, will never cure the
ills, imaginary or otherwise, that are
in the minds of the citizens unless we
eliminate all factionalism. AS to my
recent trial, 1 said then and 1 say
now that 1 made no campaign prom
ises.

cording to an alleged confession OF
