DUvALL GIVEN
MORE Time ON
TRIAL MOTION
Attorneys Allowed Delay to
Wednesday, After ParIey
at Court.
CUSTER MOVE is SEEN
Legal Action Is Expected If
Mayor Fails to Resign
His Office.

Following two conferences OF at
torneys for the State and defense.
lawyers for Mayor John L. Duvall
today were given until 2 p. m.
Wednesday to file a motion for a
new trial in Criminal Court.
Special Judge Cassius G. Shirley
said that he had hoped the matter
could be disposed of this morning,
but that if both sides agreed, he
would grant the delay.
Prosecutor William H. Remy said
the State did not object.
Postponement of filing of the mo1
ton also delayed the expected crisis
in municipal government. Should
Shirley overrule Duvalls motion for
new trial, the prosecutors staff
contends that Duvall is automatical-
ly removed from Office.
Legal Action Expected
Some legal action to oust Duvall
if he continued to claim the Office
after a new trial was denied was
expected
The mayor was convicted Sept. %
by Criminal Court jury of violat-
ing the corrupt practices act. He
was fined $1,000, sentenced to thirty
days in Jail, and held ineligible TO
hold public Office for four years
from Nov. 2, 1925.
Judge Shirley will not pass this
sentence until after motion for a
new trial is filed and ruled upon.
If the new trial is denied, Duvall
lis expected Immediately to start an
appeal.
Prosecutors Confer
The prosecutors and Duvall's at
torneys went into conference in
Prosecutor Remy's Office after the
mayor arrived at 9:15 a. m. This
lasted twenty minutes, the attcr-
neys refusing to tell what had been
discussed.
Then the lawyers all filed into
the judges Office for another con-
ference of several minutes with
Judge Shirley. They would not say
what this was about.
IF we were to tell you what we
we're talking about, there would be
no object in holding a closed con-
ference" remarked Attorney Mich
ael A. Ryan of the defense.
The mayor stuck to his insistence
that he was not going to resign,
despite rumors that he would get
out today, which were flying thick
and fast.
Thinks He'll Stick
Asked pointblank if he was going
to change his mind and get out, he
shook his head and said:
II think not"
The mayor arrived late with his
chauffeur, Arthur Reeves. They
had been driving about the busi-
ness district for some time.
City hall employees occupied the
first two rows of spectators seats,
and citizens took the rest of the
chairs. Grouped about the mayor
as the session started were Frank
Cones, board of works president:
Charles L. Riddle, newly appointed
board of works member; Orville
Scott, Barrett law clerk; Reeves and
Corporation Counsel Schuyler A.
Haas.
The mayor came into the court
room wearing a shiny black slicker
and brown felt hat with the brim
turned down all around.

CUT SCHOOL BUDGET
Hough Says $2S2, ,753 Drop
May Be Increased.

After $282.753 had been Topped
off of the proposed Indianapolis
school budget, which would have
required a tax rate of $1.45, State
Tax Board Member William A.
Hough declared Friday: "This may
not be marker towards what may
be eliminated before this board is
through"
The Friday cut was made at
meeting of school authorities and
objectorS with the State tax board.
Largest reduction agreed upon
was 100000 from the $3.50 1874 pro-
posal for elementary school repairs.
Most schools were represented by
individual budgets, so Book and the
Indiana Taxpayers Association con-
tended this huge amount was un-
necessary. School Business Direc-
tor Ure M. Frazer admitted the
fund had been padded for emer-
gency transfer.

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The Pitts
burgh Pirates planned today to win
themselves at least one ball game
in the world series of 1927.
Having lost three straight games
to the New York Yankees, the Ma
tional League champions realized
they had no chance outside the
realm of mathematics to win the
series. But
1--WE want to go down fighting, u
said DOME Bush today, as he once
more summoned the Pirate regulars
to skull practice"
Hill Is Last Hope
Carmen Hill represents Pitts
burgh's last chance, and the tall
young right-hander is looked to for
a winning effort.
With Hill in the box for the Ma
tional League champions, Miller
Higgins is quite likely to start
Wiley Moore, best known in these
parts as a relief pitcher, but one
who appears quite capable of fling
ing a game of his own against the
present brand of Piracy.
Should Higgins decide later on
to send Waite Hoyt against the
visitors, the mortician is ready for
service.
Herb Pennock's pitching in the
third game still ranked in the
breasts of the Corsairs, and the en-
tire lineup sent out by DOME Bush
today busted itself with vowing to
Rupert Wants Four Straight
It may surprise a few of baseball's
critics to hear that Col. Jake Rup-
pert is the one man who rooted
most fervently today for a Yankee
victory in four straight games. Cot
Rupert is the man who would
profit most from a Sunday game al
the capacious stadium, but profits
mean little in the life fthis gallant
sportsman compared with victory
for his ball club.
Bettors were offering 10 to 1 that
the Yankees win the series, with nc
takers. Betting was brisk upon the
outcome of the fourth game-the
peSsimist contending the Pirates
must win it, the optints being
quite confident with triple demon
stration of Yankee superiority.
Rain May Halt Fray
With the Yankees so far ahead
and so evidently superior, at
tendance records at the stadium
were by omeans endangered to-
day. Probably the crowd mum
bered some 1000, but the main idea
seemed to be-"Get this series over
as soon as possible"
RAIN starting in the night
tapered off int oa drizzle by 8
but pepole on the streets still were
carrying umbrellas and the streets
around the park were wet. Ground
keepers had covered the infeld al
Yankee Stadium, but the rain had
been sufficient to give the outf1eIc
a soaking.
The rain had fallen steadily fol
about five hours.

KIMBERLY, Wis, Oct. 8.-Three
of six men still trapped in the debris
of the collapsed Kimberly Clark pa
per mill here were believed still to
be alive today, nearly twenty-four
hours after the crash, and relief
workers, spurred by hope Of rescuing
them, redoubled efforts to tear away
the twisted wreckage.
Three of the trapped men were
believed to be dead, but rescue
workers said the other three,
though injured, still were alive.
Three other men were missing,
and it was possible they, too, were
buried in ruins of the mill.
: Six we're known to have died in
the crash. Three bodies were re-
covered and the other three, though
still in the wreckage, could be
seen and identified. Fifteen others
were injured seriously.
ColIapses Suddenly
The two-sto,y building of the
paper mill collapsed apparently as
a result of weakening Of one wall
by borrowings under 1t. An investi-
cation was under way today to de-
termine the cause
Without warning, the walls
crashed inward. The roof sank
down, burying the men under a
mass of iron, machinery, timbers
and brick.
There were thirty-two men en-
ployed in the plant. The paper mill
was being repaired and crew of a
dozen men also was in or near the
building when the collapse came.
Rescuers working late last night
saw the body of one man pinned
against the wall in the forty-foot
basement. 1t was believed to be
that of Peter Van Longdeldt.
John Fiers, killed in the crash,
visited the part of the plant which
collapsed only once a day. He
made his daily, visit to oil machin-
cry just as the walls caved in.
Little Progress Made
Little progress was made through
the night in digging into the
heaped up mass. 1t was necessary
to climb up ladders to reach the top
OF the heap, and there was a great
deal of trouble experienced in
carrying away the debris. Acetylene
torches were necessary to burn
through the twisted iron girders.
George Vanderbeuvel was buried
in the wreckage for several hours.
He was dragged forth unhurt. The
crash came without warning, he
said.
IT don't know what happened"
he said. II suddenly found myself
falling and then buried under the
mass. Timbers had piled up around
me and prevented any bricks strik-
ing me-"
Kimberly has population OF
about 1900. The town was built up
around the paper mill, one of the
largest of its kind in the country.
Workers in Peril
Workers, cutting their way
through the mass, were in peril con-
stantly from fragments of the walls
still standing.
The injured were given emergency
treatment at temporary stations set
up near the building, then were
rushed to hispitals in Appleton, a
few miles from here.
The known dead are:
Peter Van Londeldt.
Otto Kruger.
Orin Goffard.
John Goffard.
John Fiers.
Herman Sparangers.
