COFFIN SLATE SANCTIONED BY SAFETY BOARD G. 0. P. Boss Scores in Nine Appointments—Secret Confab Held. While George V. Coffin. Republican political boss, awaited in outer office of Mayor Duvall, the board of safety Tuesday sanctioned a sweep of nine building department employes and the appointment of successors. What is considered a straight Coffin slate was appointed. Ten minutes after Coffin handed a note to the messenger of Mayor Duvall, the three board members filed from tho secret staiiway from Duvall’s office into the board room they left more than ah hour before and announced the list. Stenographer Retained Miss Margaret Kern, stenographer, was tho only person considered who retained her position after the day’s deliberations. Others named were: T. Schory. chief clerk; C. P. Day, assistant clerk; T. D. Chilcote, second assistant clerk;\Mark Weaver, chief inspector and W. G. Christena, J. W. Shaw, F. M. Hawkins. C. Davis and J. Glazier, inspectors. When board members received a slate by Claude C. McCoy, secretary they balked at first, according to tidings issuing, from a closed-door session. Haskett Seeks “Dope” Later O. D. Haskett, president, announced no action on the building

department would be taken because board member* wished to learn more concerning the candidates. But the board members left for a secret conference with Duvall and announced the confirmation of the slate late in the afternoon. Coffin had been at tho city hall In the morning. Politicians said the victory in the building department was essential for Coffin’s political future, inasmuch as the opposing Klan faction recently tfon the lion's share of park department positions. Politicians I’resent Three Klan faction councilmen talked to the board members during the deliberation and many politicians stood about in the corridors. ' Future trouble was forecast by T. D. Chilcote, who said the original “understanding" had been he would be a building Inspector Instead of second assistant clerk, a position less remunerative. Chilcote spoke to the board and then disappeared in the stairway leading to Duyall’s office. H. F. Templeton, smoke inspector, is said to bo the next victim of tho political ax ,his position having been slated for Joseph C. Buchanan, State Repnwentatlve and Coffin chieftain. HAMMER OR A FIST?
