Because of the rapidity of their

only a small crowd was present to
greet the f1iers.
They cheered wildly, and French
aviators at the field stormed the
arriving airplane and took Miss
Elder on their shoulders to the
headquarters building.
Miss Elders lips we're red, and her
flashes were black, as if she had had
time before her landing to indulge
in llipstick and eyebrow pencil prac-

She was wearing the same clothes

with Holmes and Negley and re-
marked:
1--WE heard of the Gold Dust
twins and the Twin Cities, but this
is the first time I've met twin may

So cordial was the relations of
the mayors" that Holmes remarked
to a group which came to congratu-
late them:
"Say, there's more harmony
around here this morning than
there has been in the last six ad-
ministrations.
The Negley board of works met
this morning at the regular board
meeting time, but. adjourned until
Monday, to avoid legal entangle-
ments.

dent by Mayor Pro Tenn. Claude E.

Charles L. Riddle, holdover board
members from Mayor Duvall, at
tended.
The rival board of works MEM
bers named by Mayor" Ira Holmes
did not attend and made no effort
to assume their posts.
Negley and Holmes showed each
\ other the utmost courtesy.
The fact that they are brothers,
lodge brothers, may have been one
reason.
Both are Masons. Both are Odd
Fellows.
But Holmes neglected to tell re-
porters he was an I. o. o. F. mem
Der when he was listing his various
lodge and club affiliations.
So Negley failed to list the l. O
o. F. as one of the organizations tc
which he belongs. Questioned II ne
was not a member he explained why
he had failed to mention the TACT
previously, and asked that Holmes
also be listed as an Odd Fellow.
For a time this morning Negley
sat quietly in the mayors chair VIII
the keys to the city hall displayed
prominently on a large wire ring
He said in a quiet voice, Eyes, I'm
the mayor"
Holmes, on the other hand, was
rushing hither and yon about the
city hall shaking hands and slappine
backs with old friends while shout
ing, "Sure, I'm the mayor"
Over the phone Holmes said
"You bet I'm the mayor. Salary

any one does will because I'm the

with Givan over the similarity of a
United States supreme Court ruling
in a New York case.
Givan told Albertson the custer
move was entirely in accordance
with the Indiana statutes.
The AlbertSon-GivanS tilt was
ended by Springsteen, who called
for reading of the resolution.
I'm getting tired. That question
has nothing to do with this case"
said Springsteen.
well, this is no kids play. There
is more than one thing to consider.
I want to be right before I vote, be-
cause Duvall has an appeal from the
councils action" Albertson said.
Thinks It's Time to Act
When Bartholomew moved for
suspension of rules, r. Walter Dor
sett pointed out suspension of rules
was not necessary to pass resolu-
ton and then only five votes we're
needed.
with all due respect to Mr.. Du-
vail, and 1 am not the author OF
this resolution. I think the time is
at hand when we should act on this
tangle. All our city funds are tied
up. What are we going to do?"
asked Bartholomew.
Personally, I think this Is the
time to act in good faith and do
something for the people of Indian
apolis," he said.
AlbertSon again delayed the vote
by asking additional legal advice on
whether Duvall was ouSted auto
matically when convicted.
Out When Verdict Was Read
Givan told him attorneys gener-
ally agreed he was removed after
the judgment was pronounced and
that some attorneys held he was
ousted when the jury read the ver-
dict in open court.
"Duvall was disqualified when the
sentence was pronounced and will
remain so until higher court re-
verses the decision" Givan said,
citing a Supreme court opinion that
a public official is disqualified when
the verdict is read.
All seven councilmen voted AYE"
on the resolution.
Deputy Prosecutor John L. Nib
lack and Grand Jury Deputy Will
liam H. Shaeffer attended.
Announcement that Negley had
called the special meeting and
planned to adopt the resolution de-
claring the controllers and mayors
posts vacant threw the city hall in
turmoil. Duvall had not been at
his Office in the morning. Duvall
seemed the least disturbed of city
officials when he heard the an
nouncement.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND LITTLE
SQUIGGY

Souirgv was his name. And he
was a little red spotted Squlggie
Bug. Squiggv had a brother VINO
looked enough like him to he 4
twin. but he WASH t. And the broth
er's name was Squoggy.
So that's the beginning of the
story. The end doesn come for
quite while vet.
One day Squiggv and Squoggy
were out crawling around IN the
sunshine showing off their red spots
and wondering where they were go
ing to get some honey to eat. when
ali of a sudden. Squiggy whispered;
81 smell honey!
Neither of the red spotted Squlg-
gle Bugs could talk very loud, 80
they had to buzz and whisper. And
as soon as Squoggv heard Squiggy
speak about the honey, Squoggy
asked:
HWhere it it?'
But without answering, so an
xious was he to find the honey and
give his brother some, that Squiggy
filtered his wings and flew away,
lust like that. One moment he was
summing his red spots on the log be-
side his brother and the next mom-
,nt Squiggy was gone.
"Where are you! Which way did
you go' Why didn't You wait for
me'' called SquOggy. But to all
these questions Squiggy did not an
swer. Then Squoggy flew up in the
air and began looking around for a
sight of his brother and also for the
honey. Squoggy was Just as fond Of
