Lumbermen Fish Them From '> Bottom Of Lakes
Minneannlis Nct 1 lR.

Minneapolis. Oct. GP, - Making a belated cleanup behind the waste ful, old time WOodsmen, modern lumbermcn are recovering logs from Minnesota lakes and convert ing them into lumber at nice profits.

 In rushing logs through Mime sotas lakes and streams to the mills he permitted millions of logs. rep resenting entire rafts sometimes, to remain in the lakes. The logs. crowded to the bottom. were pre- served by the cold waters of the spr.ng-fed lakes.
 Now, lumbermen declare, the water-soaked logs, many of them choice IS and % foot cuts-a length exceedingly scarcc-male superior wood because that cut from pre- served logs does not warp like green timber does.
 Pulling the logs from the lake beds with. huge cranes, one firm lasi year cut 3.50o0oo feet of lumber from one lake. Others reported similar results.
 Removal of the submerged logs is boon to caHo lsts and motor boat drivers.

DECISION HITS
MYERS HOPES
Democrat May Be Barred in
Mayor Effort.

Walter Myers, defeated Democrat
ic candidate for mayor in 1925, has
no legal right to claim the office
which John L. Duvall is holding, de-
spite his conviction in Criminal
Court for violation of the corrupt
practices act, according to Indian
apoliS attorneys.
Myers is considering filing an in
terviewing petition to the quo war
fanto suit in Criminal Court brought
by Former City Controller Joseph
L. Hogue, Swho also seeks the Office.
Some attorneys declare that 1875
decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court lessons the chance Of Myers
taking over the Office.
The ruling was that "if the can
didate was ineligible and his ineligt-
bility was not known to the public
at the time of the election, this alone
would not make the candidate with
the next nearest number of votes
eligible to the Office"
When the mandamus suit seeking
to force City Treasurer Edward A.
Ramsay pay the city expenses and
pay roll is brought, the court will
be given an opportunity to clear up
two angles of the muddle. The
Hogue suit will name the successor
while the mandate litigation will de-
eide whether-or not Duvall and his
wife, city controller, are legally in
Office. Both cases, however, prob
ably will be appealed to higher
courts.

BAN CITY COAL BIDS
DuvaII Hears of PubIic's De-
mand to Quit.

L. H. Lewis, Indianapolis Real
Estate Board president, today re-
ported to the board at luncheon at
the Chamber Of Commerce the re-
suits of a visit to John L. Duvall,
who says he is mayor.
Lewis presented the views of the
business men on Duvall's clinging
to the Mayors chair, it was said.
A letter from a large coal in
dustry declaring it did not choose
to bid on a city coal contract be-
cause of the good politics" being
played in Indiana was said to have
prompted the realtors to act. Lewis
read the letters to the board.
Duvall told Lewis, it is understood,
that he believes himeslf legally
mayor and that he intends to stick.
