NEWBY OFFERS ACCOUNTING ON AUTOS OF CITY Head of Municipal Garage Replies to Charges of Councilmen. HE INVITES ADVICE Every publicly-owned automobile which City Couneilnien Theodore .T. Bernd and John E. Kin* complained they could not find In the municipal garage at night was accounted for today in a statement issued by Harry R. Newby, garage sup erintendenf. Newby sent the statement to the council. In it he also replied to other criticism of his department. The councilmen went on what they termed a "scouting expedition’’ and claimed to bare found ten cars not stored in the garage after night as Mayor Shank has issued orders they shall be when not on city business. Newby's accounting for the cars being out of the garage is as follows: "Every car that is out I can give a full account of. who ordered these cars out and what they are doing. "Car No. 8 at present is looking after high water and flood gates "Car No. 18 is assigned to superin fendent of street cleaning department, looking after men working at night nnd ft ushers. < AR OCT OF HIS JURISDICTION. "Car No. 19 is in Sanitary department and completely out of my jurisdiction. "Car No. 28 is sewer truck car and kept at yards. “Car No. "2 is Kelly five-ton sewer truck, kept at yards, s "Car No. 29 is five-ton Kelly gravel ft ruck and is being overhauled by the Kelly-Sprlngfleld people. “Car No. 22 is the night light Inspector. "Car No. "1 is the ear that puts out red lights at night and gathers them up in the daytime, and is going night, and day. "Car No. 26 !s Inspector Edward Rochet, foreman of night gang. "Car No. It is superintendent street cleaning department and always has been kept at Shelby street barns out of my jurisdiction. “Under former administrations f Vse ears were n-ed the same way." Because Bernd and King complained about the price being paid for two planks, billed at s9.Gft, Newby said he got a friend to donate them, lie said he has saved the city 598 gallons of gasoline in three and one-half months nnd the councilmen can check up on the statement by calling the Standard OT Company. Anew checking system ei parts has been installed by which the parts and prices on all cars can be *o!d at any time, and ih-’ system has been praised highly, he said. ASKS ADVICE OF (OlXdh'IKX. "I also see they say we should cbe'k all gasoline oy mileage, and I want these two councilmen to please teil me where I am going to get the money to put on speedometers, at a cost of $1,254.40, not including labor of installing them. There are at present about six cars out of '.he 110 that have speedometers on them.

Fnrthermore, 1 can not get a written statement from every driver that I have cautioned them tbout the gasoline and oii they use. “In regard to the McCarty affair, I would like to have both sides investigated, as there are always two sides to every story, and I believe my side should be heard as well ns Mr. McCarty’s. The first trouble was because I refused to keep the car of the park board in this garage, when it has always been kept at the Riverside Park garage. Furthermore he wrecked this car on three different occasions at a cost of $428.00, and he never has made a written statement to me in regard to how these wrecks oceured. The last time I called him he started to swear without cause, and T have four or five witnesses that will bear me out in litis statement, and that McCarty has always been boisterous ever since I refused to let him keep his car in this garage. "I furthermore can furnish statements from the heads of different departments of the city, that my department is and lias been run in a most satisfactory man. ner, and I have written letters commending me on (he same." HIDE AND SEEK METHODS USED BY REPUBLICANS (Continued From Page One.) every effort to renominate nnd re-elect Senator New. This faction al-o is supporting John Castor for renomination for county recorder. COFFIN-DODSON WING WILLING TO SW AP. It Is now evident that the Coffin Podson crowd will trade anything but Shank. Tutewiler and Dunn. It is remembered that George V. Coffin was made county clerk when Richard V. Sipe resigned after .confessing shortages of more than Sl-M),noO of public money, by the votes of Commissioners Shank and Tutewiler. These two commissioners refused to listen to Mayor Shank regarding the appointment of Sipe’s successor. By one

step. Commissioners Shank and Tutewiler created a powerful county machine by getting Into the good graces of the CofflnDodson political machine. The Lemcke-Jewett faction has shown symptoms of "trading" with the CoffinDodson crowd. The courthouse faction must renominate Commissioners Shank and Tutewiler and also nominate Dunn for auditor. It is said the Coffin-Dodson crowd would be willing to promise to support the Lemcke-Jewett choice for the county Republican chairmanship. This election of the chairmanship will be held Saturday afternoon, May 6. The stumbling block of such an alliance seen s to be, it is said by those who are next to the situation, that the Coffin-Dodson crowd might turn down the Lemcke-Jewett faction if the courthouse crowd would be able to put over its pet candidates at the primary. Commissioner Shank insists Commissioner Tutewiler also be returned to the board of commissioners. The ShankArmitage city hall crowd has let it be known that they "cannot swallow Tutewiler.'' it is felt that Mayor Shank will take no active steps against his brother, Carlin Shank. Some of the Shank Armitnge men have been active in the candidacy of W. D. Haverstiok, present county councilman, who is seeking Commissioner Shank's place. The wie ones at the courthouse figure it out that this is merely an attempt to "whip” Carlin Shank into line with the city hall crowd. It is known County Clerk Coffin on several occasions lately has played checkers with Mayor Shank at. the latter's home. Brother Carlin Shank lately has dropped in often at the mayor's home and. on one occasion at least, stayed all night, it is said. This fraternizing of the leaders of the two groups has upset some of the candidates seek'ng nomination. This state of affairs has led some of the Coffin-Dodson candidates to smile at the Shank-Armi-tnge crowd. Some of the more daring candidates are flirting with all three factions. Commissioner Shank has made a demand on boffin Dodson faction that Ben Fierce, former custodian at the court-
