Armitage, a local politi- cian, to let him name two members of the Board of Public Works and the {city civil engineer in exchange for lin the 1925 election. The jury was out a little more than three hours. The verdict carried with it the add- ed penalty that Duvall be barred from holding public office for four years from the date of the commission of the crime of which he was convict- ed—November 2, 1925. It is on that point that local legal lights are in conflict. Some believe Duvall is in- eligible to continue in office. Jury Imposes Maximum Fine. | The jury gave Duvall the maximum {Aine, but was lenient as to imprison- ment. The maximum penalty for the {charge is one year's imprisonment. Violation of she corrupt practices act in Indiana is a misdemeanor. A motion for a new trial will be the first move by defense attorneys. Spe- cial Judge C. C.

Ku Klux Leaders Charges Aired. The charges first were aired by Thomas H. Adams, Vincennes pub- lisher, following receipt of secreted letters from the prison cell of D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. In those letters Stepnenson said he could give sub- stantial evidence that high county and State officials had engaged in political deals with him a year prior to his con- viction of murder in 1925. He has been before the grand jury twice. Gov. Ed Jackson is under indict- ment as a result of the investigations, and on October 3 will be arraigned t answer a charge of attempt to bribe former Gov. Warren T. McCray to name James P. McDonald as Marion County prosecutor in 1923 when that office was vacant.

ROOF s YOUR Armitage, the State’s star witness— former saloon keeper, gambler and politician with a reputation of never D. | having gone back on his word—said Duvall took his money, made the promise and then double-crossed him. Duvall told the jury he returned Armi- tage’s money after the election.

A one-span bridge, well designed and in keeping with the plan of de- velopment for the Washington water- front and the entrance to Potomac Park, was recommended for the pro- posed span across Water street, to be constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, in a letter sent today by the Commission of Fine Arts to the enslnaerh\‘ department of the rail- ]ncloslng with the letter a photo- graph of a bridge of the New York Central Railroad in Buffalo, the com- mission said the National Capital Park and Planning Commission should be consulted as to street width and the Treasury Department as to the amount of Government land to be in- cluded in the project. The bridge is to ha conctructed by the railroad to provide additional facilities for han- dling freight. “in view of the importance of the location the commission is desirous of having a bridge well designed, in accordance with the plan of devel opment for the Washington water. front and the entrance to Potomac Park.” the commission said. *“To this end the commission has considered various types of bridges that have been built by different railroad com- nanies of the United States in narks and over parkways, and has selected a Dridge of one span. ““The commission will be pleased to consider a drawing for your Water strect bridge based on this design. In the preparation of the design the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Commission should be consulted as to street width, and the Treasury De. partment as to the amount of Govern: ment land to bo included in the project.” Members of the commission are known to hold that a bridge of pleas- |Ing design and massive construction wul fit in well with the proposed mar- ket scheme for Water street and the development of the Washington water front. They believe that that part of ‘Washington is destined to become one of the major commercial areas of the city, and that every structure put up there should fit in with plans for water front and market development. o The Hays News says the women of the United States spent almost £4.000,000,000 for clothing last year, with almost nothing to show for it. 1601 Argonne Place Just North of Columbia Road at 16th St. Overlooking Beautiful Rock Creek Park We have left a few of these conveniently arranged apart- ments, ranging in size as follows: dOn- room, kitchen and bath, with Murphy bed, $42.50 and $50.
