ASKS RODBER PROBE
Complains Sheriff NegIeCtS
to Investigate.

Although his general store was
visited last Friday night by bur-
glars who took merchandise valued
at more than $500, an investigation
by the sheriff has not been made
today, ]. E. Mason, 6013 Rockville
Rd., complained today.
Mason said when he arrived at
his store Saturday morning he
found the back door battered in
and automobile tires, meat, groceries
and notions missing from the
shelves. Wagon tracks were seen at
the back door. Mason said he was
promised at the sheriff's Office that
men would investigate at once. No
one has appeared to date, he said.
At the county jail, Deputy Sheriff
Carter said that an investigation is
under way by Deputies Ragan and
Bell. He said the men are follow
ing a clew and using the data given
by Mason when he first reported the
theft.

ton a prelude to the city manager

Indianapolis still has an individ-
ual and civic makeup as good as
any city in the United States" he
said.
'T become mayor with Keeling Of
great responsibility but not nervous
ness, because I am not foolish
enough to believe I can do 1t all
myself. I intend to counsel with
some of the best men and women in
the city," Slack declared.

mayor, Slack said he intends to
draft" others to help swing the big
job.

"They want me to come over
and be SWORN now. What shall I
do?" her husband asked.
There is only one thing you
can do. Co."
Then the phone began to ring
in earnest. Friends, wanting to
be the first to congratulate, kept
the bell janging steadily until far
into the night.
"I didn't know I was going to
be the mayors wife today and,
anyway, I'm not the speech-mak-
ing member of the family" Mrs.
Slack told reporters who besieged
her with questions, "but I think
they picked a real man, don't

SLACK FACES
FIGHT FOR JOB
Hogue Probably Will Press
His Mayor Claim.

L. Ert Slack. new mayor, may
have to battle in court to hold his
job.
Joseph L. Hogue, city controller in
the Shank administration, today
said that he probably will press his
claim to the mayors Office through
his quo warranto suit filed in Cir
cult Court during the time Ira M
Holmes and Claude E. Negley
claimed the Office after JOHN L. Du-
wallis resignation.
Solon Carter, attorney for Hogue,
said he would confer with other
lawyers today and decide what
steps to take. The quo warranto
suit will have to be amended If
made to apply to Slack.
Hogue contends that he is mayor
on the grounds that Duvall, having
violated the corrupt practices law,
was not legally elected mayor, and
therefore Lew Shank should have
continued in Office, and when Mr..
Shank died two months ago Hogue
should have succeeded him.
