Of GAS CO.
UIVCONF|RNED
BY BANKER

Reports Of an impending attempt
&o gain the controlling interest In
the washington Gas Light Conn
pariy by the Central Public Service
Corporation, which have been Inn
nltnent in financial circles for some
time. were not confirmed when
brought to the attention Of Hurl-
hurt, Warren and Company, dis
tributors OF the. Class A stock Of the
Chicago Utility concern.
It was pointed out, however, by
an official of the firm, that the
Central Public Service Cooperation
was IN q highly efficient position to
take over and operate the local gas
company in an advantageous
manner.
Banker Silent
No statement concerning the
runor would be given. the banking
official said.
Bankers for the Chicago concern
have been identified with previous
financing Of the local utility and
were among those named In the
recent investigation of w. w.
Bride, Corporation Counsel. to
learn the ownership Of the Wash
1ngton company.
The report was to the effect that
holders of Central States Public
Service, Glass A stock, would be
given rights to subscribe to the gas
company stock at the rate OF one
to four shares at $40 a share.
Exchange Stock
1t is believed that the Central
Public Service Corporation possibly
will offer an exchange of their
Class A stock in some desirable
ratio for. the stock Of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company.
The Central Public Service Cor
.poratfon is one of the four largest
gas-holding corporations in the
country and is said to do business
81 approximately $65 200. 900 a year,
principally in the province Of New
Brunswick and the States OF Michi-
gan, Illinois, Southern Wisconsin
and Southern Indiana. 1t also has
scattered holdings along the East
ern Seaboard and in the South.

MAIL PILOTS
BODY WILL Be
SENT TO HOME
Error in Gauging Distance
From Ground Blamed
for Fatal Crash.

The body of Charles Vermilya Jr.,
%. Enlbry- Riddle air mail pilot,
killed Saturday night. when his
plane crashed at the Mars Hill air
port as he was landing, was to be
taken today to the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Yer
milya, Muncy, Pa.
The accident occurred about 10:45
p. m. Saturday as Vermilya was
about to land here, flying mail
plane from Chicago to Cincinnati.
The plane was destroyed by fire.
According to Embry-R Riddle Off
Gals, Vermilya apparently was 'zon-
ing the field" diving and then
climbing again, as was his custom to
attract attention of field employees
in order that they would turn on
the landing lights. when he mis-
judged his distance from the ground
in the dark.
Inspection of the wreckage indi-
Gated he had reached the bottom of
the zoom and was about to nose up
ward when the wheels struck the
ground with great force, hurting
Vermilya from the plane distance
of about seventy-f1ve feet. Burning
gasoline was thrown several hundred
feet by the resulting explosion, set
ting fire to Vermilyas flying suit
and burning his hands and face.
Embry- Riddle, Curtiss and ma
tional guard field employees extin-
guished the flames on the f1iers
clothing and. with the aid of deputy
sherifTs, guarded the mail sacks.
Most of the mail was saved.
Vermilya died in an ambulance
on the way to city hospital. Later
the body was removed to the Shir-
ley Brothers undertaking parlors, to
be accompanied to the parents
home by Evan w. Chatf1eld, Embry-
Riddle official

Six Mayors Followed ir

BY EDWIN V. O'NEEL.

The most unusual four-year term

the Nov 5 ballot
John L. Duvall and the majority
of city councilmen. who rode in on

city hall the most chaotic condition
ever known in the history of the
federal form of government in any
city.
Out of the turmoil came the cleo
ton of l.. Ert Slack. Democratic
lawyer and former United States
district attorney, to fill the unex-
pired term of the Experimentation
mayor who was indicted and con-
victed in criminal court for viola

Slack brought to the city hall a
diqnified and nonpartisan atmos-
phere. Having served as United
States attorney during the war, 1t
was possible for Slack to implant
in city employees something of the
federal idea of government. Poll
ticians who wanted to keep the
reins of the municipality, died
hard" They fought TO obtain the
office until the state supreme court
held Slack legally elected mayor by
the city council.
The long drawn-out litigation
was. based on the legality of his
election by the city council, which
declared a vacancy after Duvall
was convicted and disfranchised
Attorneys said he never had been
qualified fer public Office, although
he sat in the mayors chair nearly
two years.
The litigation resulted in an I'M

by friends and enemies to resign

Duvau Resigned

Finally, on the same day the
council met to elect Claude E. Neg
ley, then council president. as
mayor pro tenn. for ten days, Duvall
needed the advice of Ira M. Holmes,
Republican lawyer and George v.
Coffin lieutenant. and resigned.
Mrs. Duvall, who a short time be-
fore. had been appointed city con-
troller, replacing Duvall's brother
in-law. Charles BuSer, succeeded to
the mayoralty for a few minutes.
She appointed Ira M. Holmes city
controller and then resigned.
Holmes. according to his own in
depreciation of the statute, sue
ceeded Mrs. Duvall as mayor and
proceeded to take the reins of gov
eminent. But Negley, whose fac
ton commanded the police depart
ment, called in uniformed officers
to- hold the fort.
Litigation followed, indianapolis
having six mayors in little more
than ten days time. They were
Duvsll. Mrs. Duvall. Holmes, Negley,
Slack and Joseph L. Hogue. former
city controller, who sought to get
the Office by virtue Of an ancient
statute.
Many Scrambled for Jobs
To the amazement of politically
minded citizens. Slack announced
he would conduct a nonpartisan
administration in keeping with the
spirit of the city manager form,
which citizens adopted by vote Of
6 to /. The mayor retained scores
of the Republican employees over
bitter protest of leaders of his own
party who scrambled for jobs.
Slack determined TO "be mayor
himself" disregarded the advice of
politicians, and selected his own
counsel. The mayor set out to re
deem" Indianapolis and started a
city-wide constructive program with
the view of turning the city over
to the city manager form in Janu-
airy in good condition.
The state supreme court prevent
ed the city from adopting the city
manager form of government, but
the city properties will be turned
over TO the next administration in
the best physical and financial
condition in recent years.
An impressive and elaborate in
auguration ceremony is planned in
the rotunda of city hall, Jan. s.
Slack prefers to turn over the keys
to Reginald Il Sullivan. Democrat.
