ONE HOPE IS
GIVEN CITY ON
MANAGER LAW
Constitution Revision Only
Chance, Declaration of
Noted Professor.
WOMEN VOTERS MEET
TWo-D Day Institute Started
by Indiana Leaguers;
Dinner Tonight.
WOMEN VOTERS MEET

Indianapolis only hope to gain
home rule and operation of its
affairs under the city manager plan
is by constitutional revision"
This declaration was made today
by Professor Thomas H. Reed, head
Of the political science department
Of the University of Michigan, at
the opening session Of the two-day
institute on public affairs, held
under the auspices of the Indiana
League of Women Voters in the
Columbia Club.
After a study of the majority md
dissenting opinions Of the Indiana
supreme court ruling the city man
ager law unconstitutional, Professor
Reed said:
"The majority opinion is extreme
ly ingenious, but they have begged
the question.
Supports Minority Judges
"Im in sympathy with the dis
senting opinion of Judges Martin
and Gemmill. They hold that the
city clerk could attest to the 10000
petitioners signatures as a whole
while the majority group Of judges
takes the attestation of the sigma
lures as an indidivual thing, requir-
ing the atteSting of each individual
signature.
II believe that indianapolis and
the state can hope to gain the city
manager form or home rule only
by constitutional referendum vote
in 1880 and subsequent calling of a
convention for revision of the Con-
stitution.
"All legal decisions of other states,
applicable to Indiana's city manager
law, have been ignored by the SUI
preme courts majority opinion" he
asserted.
Cites Other Forms
In discussing home rule for cities
at the afternoons session of the
league, he amplit1ed other posi-
bilities besides the city manager
form, with an explanation of the
formation of a charter commission
and the framing Of a new govern
mental document for Indianapolis
and other cities of the state.
Professor Reed described "log-
rolling in legislatures i've affairs
of cities of the first class.
at is frequently absurd for coun-
try legislators to dictate city affairs.
Too much time is taken by legis-
latures on purely local affairs of
cities as, naming a street, grant,
ing a widows pension-and other
trivial matters.
IF Indianapolis wants the city
manager form of government, il
surely should be no concern of the
citizens of Fl. Wayne" he added.
Woman Is Speaker
At the mornings session Mrs. w.
Ramsey, vice-president of the
National League of Women Voters,
defined good government as "ht per-
sonnet, efficient machinery and CO.
operation on the part of citizens"
She said voting is the citizens
most important political duty.
Professor Reed, recently returned
from Belgium, where he was deco
rated with the Order of Leopold for
the translation Of two books on
Leopold II and Leopold I.
Meetings will continue through
tonight and Friday, with a dinner
tonight at the Columbia Club.
Students of civics and political
economy in city high schools and
colleges attended sessions of the in
stitute today.

The crumbling walls Of a ma

sighted by Colonel Lindbergh.
The Pyramid was estimated to be
seventy or eighty feet high and
was the center Of an old temple.
Lindbergh saw the ruins first
from a distance Of twenty miles.

TAX BOARD CUTS PARK,
BUILDING FUND ITEM
$1,000 Asked for Inspector for Com.
munity House Refused.

The state tax board today pared
$1,000 from a request Of the Indi-
annapolis park board for an appro-
priation to construct a community
house in Christian park.

Doris Stevens Wins Suit in
Paris Court From
Malone.
BIZ Tnifed Press

BIZ United Press
PARIS. Oct. 10.-Doris Stevens,
one of the leaders of the woman
suffrage movement in the United
States, today obtained a divorce
from Dudley Field Malone, noted
American lawyer, on the ground Of
d~esertion.
Malone was third assistant Sec
rotary of state during the Wilson
administration and resigned his Of
flee because he felt Wilson had
failed to keep his promises to the
suffrage movement.
Miss Stevens, formerly of Omaha,
and Malone were married in PeekS-
kill, N. Y, in 1921, after Malone
had been divorced by his first wife,
the daughter of Senator James
O'Gorman of New York.
Adopted Her Ideas
Their romance began in 1916 when
the \suffragettes were picKeting the
White House and being arrested
for denouncing President Wilson
because of his failure to urge the
passage of the woman suffrage
amendment.
Miss Stevens was one of the lead
ing agitators for the amendment.
She interested Malone in her cause
and convinced him that President
Wilson had broken all his pre-elec-
ton promises on the suffrage issue.
Not long after, Malone, who had
been a staunch Democrat and a
friend of Wilson, resigned from his
position in the state department
and threw himself full heartedly in
to the suffrage movement. He be-
came a vigorous critic of the Will
son administration.
Converted to Socialism
Malone not only adopted Miss
Stevens views on the suffrage issue,
but became a convert also to many
of her radical and Socialistic Ideas.
As the result of her influence he
abandoned his connections with the
Democratic party and withdrew
from the many clubs and associa-
tions which bound him to the old
political faith.
During the wal Malone was one
of the lawyers who defended Max
Eastman and other editors Of the
radical periodical, The Masses, when
they were tried for conducting Sc
ditious propaganda against the gov
eminent.
He became an active sympathjzer
with the radicals Socialist move
ment in America and ran for Gov
ernor of New York on the Socialist
ticket.

my observation the timers appeared
very competent and were as much
surprised at the fast time shown by
Bracev as the spectators. On both
occasions BraCey beat Simpson, the
best Sprinter in the Big Ten and as
good as the best in the East, by
over three yeardS.

won by Illinois in 17:40 world
collegiate record. the eight timers
did not vary more than fifth of
a second. which l think is unusual.
Chicago won the mile relay in
3:182-l0, and again the eight tim
ers varied just one-f1fth Of a second.
Bracey. last June won the 100 and
22O in the national collegiate meet
which is open to any college sprint
er in America. The way he ran
last week he looks better than ever.
His performance was legitimate.
above suspicion in every way, and
/ it is my guess that the only Ameri-

enough to have any chance of beat
ing him is Borah of Southern Cali
