CONVIGTED MAYOR REFUSES T0 RESIGN Indianapolis Official Denies Crookedness and Says He Will Hold Post. — By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 12 With the cheers of approximately 3500 persons yinging in his ears, Mayor John L. Duvall of Indianapolis | Qeclared at a publis meeting here that ! he would not resign his office as a re- sult of being found gullty recently of Violating the corrupt practices act. | “Duvall is scheduued to appear in Criminal Court today for sentence. A jury September 22 found him zuilty of having promised to let William H. ‘Armitage name persons to three pub- lic offices in return for $10,000 and his political support in the 1925 election. The jury fixed punishment at $1.000 fine, 30 @ays' imprisonment and dis- | barment from holding public office for four years. : Denies Regime Crooked. Duvall and other speakers at the meeting, which was promoted by city hall employes, attacked the Indianap- olis newspapers for demanding that Duvall resign. Duvall declared that the Marion County grand jury, which a year ago began an investigation of alleged political grafs in Indiana, had failed to find anything crooked in his administration. “Of course, mistakes have been made in the administration,” the mayor said. “Mistakes that have been made are not the cause of the present criticism. The same influences that worked against me before the election are at work now. It is my firm con- viction that if a certain thing had not happened there would not have been any criticism, It the Hon. Samuel N Ralston was living today vou woul regard me as one of the best mayors the city ever had.” Refuses to Resign. Mayor Duvall failed to elaborate these points. “John Duvall, in office or out of of- fice,” he went on, “will never cure the ills, imaginary or otherwise, that are in the minds of the citizens unless we eliminate all factionalism. As to my recent trial, I said then and I say now that I made no campaign prom- ises. > “I have no intention of resigning my office.” —_— REED MAKES PLEA FOR ADMINISTRATION CHANGE NEXT YEAR (Continued_from First Page) should pitch our tents in the old camp of democracy. “Let us rally our forces to the flag of the Constitution; let us make our fight beneath banners proclaiming: “The inalienable rights of the citi- zen, among which are liberty of con- science, without coercion, criticism or obloquy; the right of every man to worship God according to the dic- tates of his own conscience, and that ‘none shall make him afraid’; the right of free speech, free press and peaceable assemblage; the right of each citizen to regulate his own per- sonal conduct—chart his own course through life—determine his own habits and to control the affairs of his own household, free from all re- straints, save that in the exercise of these natural privileges he will not interfere with the rights of others. “Let us reassert the truth of the doctrine that if this people are to re- main free, local self-government and the sovereignty of the States must be preserved; the Federal power should be brought within the limits not only of the letter, but also within the spirit of the Constitution; the march of centralization must ar- rested; government by boards and bureaueracies must cease.

Fails to éee Question Major Importance in Campaign. BY ROBERT BARRY. Senator George W. Norris, Ne- braska, is not distinguished for con- slstent agreement with his Republican | colleagues, but he is in accord with) them on the prohibition issue. | He does not believe it a question likely to cause controversy on the Republican side. He does not envis age it as a major issue next vear. To him, other things are certain to prove more important. “I have not regarded the prohibi- tion issue as one that would enter very greatfy into the coming cam- paign,” Senator Norris declared. He speaks as an ardent dry, polit- ically and personally, and as chair man of the Senate judiciary commit. tee, which controls all prohibition legislation in the upper house. Sena tor Norris typifies a considerable bod of farmer sentiment in the middle and near West. Enforcing Wet Favored. The real significance of his inter- | view was in_these words: “A wet President, assuming, of course, that he would fairly enforce existing law, would be much more desirable to me than a dry who stood for all other standpat kinds of legis- lation, which to my mind is detri- mental and injurious to real demo- cratic principles of government.” The veteran Progressive leader does not undertake to say the agrarian insurgents among his colleagues share that sentiment. He is not in the habit, however, of deferring to the judgments of others. He stands for his personal opinions. Says Agitation Undesirable. “I have not desired that prohibi- tion should be a deciding issue in the campaign,” Senator Norris declared. “I am one of those who balieve, at present at least, that there is no pos- sibility of repealing the Volstead act and that the agitation of the question is not only unnecessary but undesir- able. “I have been a consistent supporter of prohibition, and from my knowledge of the members of the two houses of Congress, it is my bellef that it is perfectly idle for the opponents of pro- hibition to expect to repeal the law, or to obtain any modification of it that will tend toward greater leniency in its enforcement. It seems, therefore, that it ought not to be a dominant is- sue in the campaign. Other Issues Important. “Personally, I regard other issues of far greater importance. I would pre- fer a President who was progressive in his ideas and who stood for the proper control of railroads, water power and other progressive measures, even though he were opposed to the Vol- stead act. In other words, I do not SENATOR (EE(IRGE W. NORRIS. “I do not believe that prohibition has ever had a fair chance. I do not be- lieve it has ever been fairly enforced. It has been made a partisan, political issue in many instances. “No Place in Politics.” “Prohibition enforcement officers have been appointed, not because of their -sincerity in enforcing the law, but because they have been active in a partisan way in keeping the machine in power. It ought to be entirely elim- inated from politics. “Laws ought to be enforced regard- less of partisanship, but in the prohibi- tion question there is greater danger in putting the enforcement of it on the political pie-counter than any other executive function. This is be- cause there is so much money in the violation of this law. “Men are appointed to enforce the law often for purely partisan reasons. There is so much profit in the busi- ness that men creep into office under the guise of partisanship and faith- ful political services, when the real reason is to get into the®bootlegging business for the money there is in it. Men of this kind can make enormous contributions to the political machine out of the profits of their unlawfui business. Criticism Held Justified. “It the President would select men regardless of their partisanship, picked entirely for their qualifications and ability to enforce the law, and then give the law a fair, honest test, I think we would get results that have never been heretofore obtained, and would meet the criticism so often jus- tifiably made that the law is not being enforced. It is time enough to talk about any modification or repeal after the law has had a reasGnable oppor- tunity by fair enforcement to show its usefulness. “I am one of those who believe that a fair and honest enforcement of this law will convince the people of the country, not only that it is necessary to retain it, but that a vast amount of good has been brought about en ac- count of its enforcement.” (Copyright. 1927. by the North American Newstaer Alliance.) ‘Tomorrow’s interview will be with think it is the only issue, and should not be made the only issue.

The engineering division and the new material division, “combining the functions of engineering and sup- ply, needed room to expand. Here was where sentiment and business came in. It was good busi- ness to keep the engineering divisiou in Dayton, War Department officials felt, because the pick of skilled air- plane engineers and workmen and the laboratory equipment of the division ‘were here. Here also was the home of the Wright brothers. The Government acknowledged this tie. Nevertheless the engineering station might have been lost to Dayton had not the pub- lic stepped in.

Special Dispatch to The Star. : UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Octobes 12, — Indictments returned yesterday by the Prince Georges County grand jury included one against Morris Haley, 18 vears old, and another against Albert Gray, 16, both of Cap- itol Heights, Md., charging larceny. It is alleged bonds belonging to Thom: as B. Smoot of 4510 Bowen road south- east, Washington, D. C., were taken from an automobile and later burned. Smoot, a retired merchant, was visit- ing a friend, J. E. Rawlings, at Capitol Heights, in April, and a package dis- appeared from his automobile. - Ac- cording to an alleged confession of the Haley boy, the bonds were in the package, and, their value not being rec- ognized, they were stuffed with the bag which contained them in a stove at a house near the Rawlings honte. Evidences supporting this story were found in the house by the police, the case being presented to the grand jury last week. John Sollers, 13 years old, of Brentwood, charged with attacking a 9-year-old Hyattsville girl, also was indicted and faces trial on a capital offense. He will be the youngest defendant in such a case in Maryland, it is said, and convic- tion makes possible his execution. Forty-three indictments were re- turned. Alfred Gross, colored, was charged with murder; Edward Bin- ger, assault with intent to kill, and Ollie Commodore, assault with in- tent to kill. The other cases were trivial. The grand jury adjourned after returning the true bills. Conner Off to Prison Parley. A. H. Conner, superintendent of Federal prisons, is leaving today for Atlanta to attend a meeting tomorrow of the parole board to consider appli- catlons for parole, including that of Earl Carroll, New York theatrical pro- ducer, serving a sentence of a year and & day for perjury, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University.

Finally the revolt was begun the night of October 2, when, in the President’s words, Gen. Almada “took to the fleld with those troops which he could deceive or induce to his re- bellious adventure,” “Irrefutable proof of the existence of a previous plan of definite action,” he continued, “was the simultaneous uprising of Gomez at Perote (in Vera Cruz) with two cavalry units, the flight from Mexico City of Gomez and Serrano 48 hours before the uprising, and the fact that Almada (upon leav- ing Mexico City) headed immediately for Perote, which was the concentra- tion camp previously agreed upon. Further Proof Cited. “Further proof is that simultaneous- ly the 16th Regiment at Torreon, for- merly commanded by Gomez, attempt- ed to revolt, and that other attempts were made in the republic on the same date by several agents of Serrano and Gomez, inviting the military forces to treason. -1 ik T have plainly established the truth of the facts, and have shown not o that there was not on the part {,he government intrigue or ‘ sratlonsl against any- bdy, excessive trust.

Alvaro Obregon, sole candidate in Mexico's presidential field after the execution of one oppo- nent, Gen. Francisco Serrano, and the revolt of another, Gen. Arnulfo Gomez, arrived here today. In an interview with the Associated Press he declared that the ‘“so-called revolution” is at an end and that within six days Gen.

While not recommending any par- ticular form of compulsory insurance for automobile ownars, the governors cited the need of some form of protec- tion against financially irresponsible drivers, and the Massachusetts law was given as an illustration of the successful operation of such a meas- ure. ‘With those who spoke in favor of the proposed measure were Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the asso- ciation; Ross P. Andrews and Edward D. Shew. Another Meeting Tonight. A further discussion of the proposed insurance Will be held this evening, when the special committee of the ‘Washington Chamber of Commerce will hear opponents of the measure. Among opponents expected to be rep- resented at the hearing are the United States Chamber of Commerce and the American Automobile Association. The board of governors of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers’ Association yesterday also approved the referen- dum heing made by the United States Chamber of Commerce, which calls for a reduction in Federal taxes. The merchants voted to request the District Commissioners to issue a proclamation calling on all business establishments of Washington to cease operations for two minutes at 11 o'clock on November 11 as a fitting observance of Armistice day. Plans were laid for co-operating with the Post Office Department in the annual “mail early-shop early” campaign, in |order that the last-minute Christmas rush might be minimized. The campaign of the Boys’ Club of Washington for a fund of $125,000 for increasing the facilities of the club was indorsed, and Edward D.

Gerard, Ambassador to Germany under the Wilson administration, pre- dicted yesterday upon his return from a trip to Europe that Gov. Smith of New York will receive the Democratic nomination for President—and. will be elected—and that the Republicans will nominate Vice President Dawes. “I am sure,” Gerard said, “that Mr. Hughes could not carry New York against Mr. Smith. I think Mr. Hoover is the strongest man the Re- publicans have, as there is absolute- ly nothing against him but his ef- ficlency. But we know' that the Re- publican party won't nominate Hoover because they do not like an efficient bird. “However,” the former diplomat added, “I think that at the last minute the Republican party will nom- inate Dawes.” ALUMNI TO CELEBRATE.

Flying With Gen. Patrick By Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick Ente ot the Army Alr Corps I1L—View Into the Cockpit. Let us now transfer our attention trom the panorama below to the pilot’s cockpit. Our gaze first falls upon the instrument board, which is directly in front of and facipg the pilot. Many of the instruments are similar to those scen in an awutomobile. The power plant of an airplane, like the automobile, is a gasoline engine, and requires the same instruments to indicate oil pressure, temperature, fuel pressure, etc., besides the customary ignition switches and electrical instru- ments. In addition to these there are several instruments peculiar to afr- craft. One is the air speed meter, of which previous mention has been made. # Since an airplane in flight has no contact with the ground, its speed with reference thereto is not measur- ‘able by means of a speedometer such as is used in the automobile. It has contact only with the air through which it is passing. The air speed meter, therefore, is substituted for the speedometer and indicates the speed of the plane through the air. Since the air seldom is at rest, it can be seen readily that air speed usually does not indicate speed with reference to the ground. When flying with the wind the ground speed of the plane, for all practical purposes, is its air speed plus the velocity of the wind; or, conversely, if flying into the wind, its speed is decreased by the velocity of the wind. Coin New Words. A cross wind tends to drift a plane off its normal path, and in order to maintain a_straight course between two points it is necessary to point the plane into the wind at an angle suffi- cient to compensate for the drift. The resultant of the two forces (the velo- city of the wind and the speed of the plane) then becomes the desired direc- tion of the motion with reference to the ground. To explain this action the nautical term ‘‘crabbing” has been porrowed. . The development of aviation as a medium of transportation has resulted in the coining of a number of new words. Among them is “avigation,” which is derived from the two Latin words avis and agere, and means “to go as a bird.” It is analogous to the nautical term “navigation.” A necessary aid to avigation is the compass, the dial of which appears among the instruments in front of the pilot. The compass in most com- mon use Is of the floating dial mag- ‘netic type. This type of compass is not, for various reasons, entirely sat- isfactory for aerial purposes, and re- cent experiments have developed the earth inductor type, which played such a prominent part in the successful transoceanic flights during the past Summer. Other Instruments Used. ‘While for ordinary purposes the skilled pilot is able to estimate the height at which he is flying With a fair degree of accuracy, there are many instances, particularly in mili- tary aviation, which require a more accurate method of measuring alti- tude. 'The instrument employed for this purpose .s called an “altimeter.” Almost every one is more or less fa- miliar with he baromeer, Which measures the weight of the atmo- sphere. The altimeter merely is an aneroid barometer, having a dial graduated In feet of altitude rather than in pounds per square inch. As an aircraft ascends the density, and therefore the weight, of the at- mosphere surrounding it decreases, re- sulting in decreased barometric pres- sure, which causes a change in the position of the pointer on the dial of the instrument. The recording alti- meter -used in altitude tests likewise is similar to the recording barograph in common use by meteorologists, or ‘weather forecasters. Still other instruments which attract our:attention are the ‘‘tachometer’ and, the “bank-and-turn indicator.” The former merely represents the ap- plication of the well known revolu- tion-counter principle, which not only counts the revolutions of the engine crankshaft but also registers, by means of a dial and pointer, the num- ber per minute. It involves some- what the same principles as those of an automobile speedometer, and regis- ter# revolutions per minute rather than miles per hour. The “bank-and-turn indicator” is a combination of the principle of the spirit level, which in- dicates when the plane is laterally off even keel, and a gyrostatic han- ism which indicates the direction in which the plane is turning, if at all. Levers Easily Reached. Leaving the instrument board, we now direct our gaze farther downward in the cockpit. On the left, within easy reach of the pilot, are three small levers, two projecting upward and one downward. Ore of the former is the throttle; the other is the spark con- trol, and the latter, commonly called the "“altitude adjustment,” regulates the mixture of air and gasoline in the carburetor. In the rarefied atmo- sphere aloft the proportion of air to gasoline rnay be increased in order to obtain greater engine efficiency with a reduction in fuel consumption. In the center of the cockpit, pro- Jecting verticaily and directly in front of the pilot, is a metal shaft or lever, usually with a rubber hand-grip cover- ing the upper end. Upon this rests the pilot’s hand. This mechanism is the “joy stick.” It is connected by cables to the ailerons and “the mow- able portions of the horizontal tail sur- faces. By means of this lever the longitudinal and lateral controls of the plane are operated. The rudder control in most common use consists of a wood or metal bar with stircups or foot-rests at both ends, located near the floor and at the front of the cockpit. It operates on a pivot in the center. From each end of this har wire cables extend backward through the fuselage to the rudder, thereby enabling the pilot to operate the rudder by movement of his feet. (Covyright. 1927.)
