lie Bourget to receive Byrd on be-
half Of the United States.
Commander Bainbridge, noted
surgeon, was prepared to give any
medical aid the crew might need.
Plans were completed for official
receptions by the French govern
ment, the Paris chapter of the
American Aeronautical Association

From lie Bourget, the fliers were

CONCEDE NAVY
POINTS TOU. S.
England Ready to Accept
Parity With America.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Secre-
tary of State Kellogg announced to-
day that the United States has re-
ceived assurances that Great Brit
ain is willing to accept parity with
this Government in all classes OF
ships and desires that the Geneva
negotiations be conducted on that
basis.
The British assurances, trans
mitted through the American arms
delegation at Geneva, were accepted
by Kellogg as removing difficulties
arising during the last week in the
arms conference.
The British delegation previously
had declined to commit itself to
equality with the United States in
small auxiliary craft, and had ad-
vanced capital ship proposals which
the United States interpreted as an
attempt to put the American navy
in an inferior position with relation
to the British craft.
The Exchange correspondent, in
another message, said he had
learned reliably that the United
States delegation today received au-
thority from Washington to discuss
the battleship question, but only on
condition that there should be no
attempt to modify the f1ve-flve-
three ratio of the United States,
Great Britain, and Japan.

PAY POLITICAL
PROBERS $4,000
Two Special Prosecutors
Granted Remuneration.

Criminal Judge James A. Collins
today awarded John w. Hoffman
and Emsley w. Johnson $4,000 each
for sixty-oneN days service as spe-
cial prosecutors in the Marion
County political investigation.
Collins set the figures after attor-
neys had testified what they thought
such work was worth. Charles Rem
sSer suggested $4,000 each; Alvah
J. Rucker, $500, and Charles S.
Wiltsie, $4,000.
Collins told the special prosecu-
tors that their pay for participa-
ton in further moves in the four
criminal prosecutions they have
started against city officials will be
fixed later.
The $4,000 fees cover the period
during which the special prosecu-
tors served in the James E. Armi-
tage contempt case, growing out of
an alleged attempt to bribe Grand
Juror Claude Achey not to indict
Mayor John L. Duvall and in the
Investigations resulting in filing of
affidavits against City Controller
William G. Buser, Former Market
Master Earl Garrett, and City Pur-
chasing Agent John j. Collins.

Maid to Watch
13 Children
for Week
Bv ELDORA FIELD

Indianapolis champion mother,
Mrs. Harry Horseley, 5640 Guilford
Ave-, is going to take vacation.
She is going to pack hatpox and
a couple of bags, give the maid final
instructions about caring for father
and the thirteen children, and fit
away for at least a week Of freedom
from her job-one of the most I'M
portant in indianapolis.
She is not even going to let a
qualm about the twins, brown
eyed Margie and blue-eyed Mildred,
born only last fall, interfere with
complete relaxation of mind and
body.
Mrs. Horseley started taking a
mothers vacation years ago. Her
robust health after bearing eighteen
children attests that it is a good
idea, her friends say.
"Some folks might think it selfish
for a mother to absolutely step out
of the family picture and go on a
vacation without the children, -
commented Mrs. Horseley "but it's
really the most unselfish, the wisest
thing busy mother can do.
"Withone in charge, the children
will get along beautifully. When
mother comes back, she's refreshed
and full of enthusiasm for her job
again. It's the only kind of vaca-
tion-for the mother of a large
family, anyway"
"It's not that the children can't
get along without mother, when
she hesitates to refurbish her ideas
and body change of scene and
duties" Mrs. Horseley added "the
children, in charge of a careful maid
and the rest of the family, play hap
PLY and get along beautifully.
'It'S mother who misses the chill
dren, unless she makes up her mind
that her going away for is really
their sakes and to fit her to do far
more for them than she could if she
wearily stuck to her job the whole
year through"

PARIS, June 30.-Herbert Ad-

Herbert Adams Gibbons, Rodman

nounced that Byrd would remain IN
Paris for a week, and during that
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-30

At z a. m. E. D. T., however,
Byrd had reported his position
as 620 miles from the Irish
coast. The Plymouth position
would indicate that he had
made more than 500 miles in
5 hours and 80 minutes, re-
markable speed even for the
Americas s three motors.
Byrd apparently was flying consid-
erably behind the schedule main
tanned by Charles Lindbergh on his
fight to Paris. Lindberg, starting
from New York at 7:51 a. m, two
hours and twenty-seven minutes
later than Byrd left, reached Cher
bourg, France. at 1920 p. m, E. D. T
Even allowing for Byrd's slightly
flatter and longer course across the
ocean, he should have reached Cher
bourg by 2 o'clock or earlier, had
he held to as speedy schedule.
Their path had been beset by
weather difficulties almost from the
time they left Roosevelt Field at
5:24:03 a. m. yesterday, and since
4 p. m. they had been completely
isolated, so far as vision went, by a
heavy fog that hid land and sea and
at times was so dense the fliers
could not see the tips of the Amer
ica's wings.
Only their radio, which kept up
a constant stream Of automatic sig
mails and messages, some of which
were picked up by ships at sea,
while others went unheard, kept
them in touch with the world.
The fog and occasional squalls
combined to make a trying hazard,
but apparently an ineffective one.
All was going we'll on board and
wireless messages to the plane from
ships were proving a great help, the
message said.
Byrd gave no report on his gaso-
line supply. Whether headwinds
which occasionally had troubled the
plane had reduced the fuel enough
to make the ships success in reach
ing Paris doubtful could only be
guessed.
Flying Conditions Difficult
From the time of his takeoff at
Roosevelt field at 5:24:03 a. m. yes
terday, Byrd had met difficult fly
ing conditions, trying to men and
motors, but ideal from the stand
point of scientific tests, the basic
purpose of the venture.
For the last third of his journey,
Byrd seemed likely to meet equally
trying conditions, unless he was
able to veer southwark from his in
tended course and strike for the
Brittany coast, instead of flying
across the English channel.
Bad weather on the channel was
forecast by the British air ministry
in a message broadcast to Byrd at
10 a. m. (5 a. m. E. D. To. Whether

to serve the city when the city man
ager form of government is put into
operation
The election date, however, is
subject to the courts veto.
A friendly suit will be flied at
once, to determine whether accord
ing to law the election should be
held this fall or in the fall of 1929,
City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr.,
announced.
County Attorney Clinton H.
Givan advised the commissioners to
hold the election this fall.
The mayor savior" amendment,
passed by the last Legislature, to
the law providing for the manager
form is vague, uncertain, and
ambiguous" he declared.
Delay Might Be Fatal
Providing that the manager form
can not be instituted until Mayor
Duvall goes out of Office Jan. l.,
1880, the law does not state def
nitely whether the election should
be held at once after the city votes
to adopt the manager form or in
the fall before the city commits
sioners take office, he said.
He advised that the election be
held this fall, pointing out that if
it is not and the courts should hold
1t should have been, an election in
1929 might be prevented.
The election commissioners Or
dered Boyce to prepare petitions
Immediately for candidates for the
manager commission. Candidates
must have 968 signers to get their
names on the ballot.
Seven to Be Elected
Seven commissioners are to be
elected. They pick the city manag-
er and take over legislative duties
of the present council.
The suit which probably will be
filed by manager movement leaders
is to be an action to prohibit Boyce
from making any expenditures in
preparation for the election this
fall.
Boyce said the election commits
sioners did not discuss the legality
of the provision of last Legislatures
action prohibiting the manager form
from going into action before 1890,
about which there also has been
some question.

High Mark for Season, 94
Recorded Wednesday;
Night Is SCorCher.
Hourly Temperatures
Today

Little hope for relief from the hot
wave was held out to Indianapolis
today by the weather man.
The high temperatures which
struck the city and the rest of In
diana Wednesday and caused one
death in the State, probably will
continue at least until Saturday
morning, j. II. Arlington, United
States Weather Bureau head, said.
Temperatures today were about
the same as Wednesday, when a
high mark for the season, "a de-
grees, was reached at 4:30 p. m.
Two Are Frustrated
Three heat prostrations here were
reported to police.
Martin OMaley Of Greenfield,
Ind, was overcome in front OF 10 E.
washington st. He was revived and
taken to the Murat Shrine Temple,
of which he is a member.
Private Paul Edwards, 18. of 800 S.
Noble ST., Indiana National Guard
member, was overcome in the tent
in which he was on recruiting duty
in front of the State Armory, I'll N.
Pennsylvania st.
The heat made him slightly III on
Wednesday, officers said. He was
taken home.
Lector Lightfoot, 80, Negro, 800
Economy st. was overcome while
helping move a house at Eleventh
st. and Broadway. He was revived
and taken home.
The weather bureau thermometer
showed a temperature of 81 at
9 a. m, 4 degrees higher than at
the same hour Wednesday, and at
/ q. m. it was 80, one degree high
er then Wednesday.
Night Is Scorching
The temperatures during the night
were to 6 degrees higher than
Tuesday night and the slow NOV
ing winds from the southeast which
brought the heat wave gave little
relief.
The State and city's only hope for
an escape from the excessive
warmth would be a local thunder
storm, Armington said. But there
even isn't much chance of that and
if one did come 1t would cool things
off only temporarily, he said.
Wednesdays high mark, "a, was
the hottest here since July 81, last
year, when the mercury reached 96.
Record In 1913
The hottest June 20 and June 80
when temperatures of SO and 81
in the city's history were in 1913,
were recorded.
Municipal and private bathing
beaches and pools were crowded
with thousands seeking comfort,
Wednesday. Motorists jammed the
boulevards and roads IN and around
the city.
Soda fountains, Ice cream parlors
and soft drink stands did a rushing
business.
Manufacturers estimated the con-
sumption of ice cream increased 25
per cent, Plain ice also was in
great demand.
Heat Hastens Death
Mrs. Clarence Chandler, So, died
at Peru while engaged in work at
her home. Heat is believed to have
caused an attack of heart disease.
Mrs. G. F.. Thomas 812 E. Thirty
Fourth ST., indianapolis, is a
daughter of Mrs. Chandler.
Damage of $700 was caused at
South Bend Wednesday when a
temperature of 81 set off fireworks
displayed in a drug store window.
Lafayette experienced the hottest
1927 day thus far-91. Farmers in
the vicinity were rejoicing, as the
heat aided in ripening wheat and
growth of corn, planting of which
was about three weeks late. Ander-
son reported a temperature of 81,
Vincennes 96, and Evansville "a.
