GOSH SAKES JAMES! LAV OFF OF CAL You May Get Elected, but Think of Us, Beg Indiana Congressmen. FEAR FOR STATE TICKET Coolidge Too Cool When Asked to Speak in State. By Roscoe B. Fleming, Times Sta's Corresvondent WASHINGTON, June 11. - ndiana Republican Congressmen here have comedo worried over Senator Watson’s break with President Coolidge that'they have decided to ask Watson to soft-pedal his antagonism ion the ground it is endangering the safety of State ticket in the fall and jeopardizing the possible return of several H&use members. ■ The Congressmen were worried at the chilly reception received today when they and a delegation of Indiana Republicans called on Coolidge, asking him to visit Indiana in the fall and speak in behalf of the party during the last month of the campaign. Owes It to State State Chairman Walb said the President “owed it to the State” to take part in the senatorial campaign. Walb said afterward that Coolidge had taken the invitation “under consideration,” the usual White House phrase for polite rejection. The delegation also asked the appointment of Frank Singleton of the Indiana Public Service Commission and Frank Stutesman of Peru, to the new Federal board of mediation, created by the Watson-Railroad labor peace bill. The House members, it is said, have been discussing Watson’s attitude for several days. It is said that Watson in addition to his pubblio opposition to important Coolidge policies and his lining up with radicals on the farm relief question, has been unrestrained in private crticism of Coolidge and urging House members to Join him in an open break of the whole delegation with the President. Need Coolidge Aid The House members are extremely worried, feeling that while Watson might feel safe for the fall, the State ticket and themselves would need all the administration help they could get in the Indiana campaign and that there is no chance of such help unless Watson quits “opposing the President at every turn.”

MAYOR TO QUIZ CONTRACTS OF OLDJPARK BODY Duvall Says .Fairview Park' Paving Work Illegal. The newly organized park board will strikee at acts of the old board, It was indicated today. Mayor Duvall said the board probably would break a contract with the Standard Paving Company for boulevard construction near the new" Butler University site. “The old board has a queer arrangement with the company through which city employes perform the labor and which I am sure is Illegal, because the contract was let without competitive bidding,” Duvall said. Supporters of the mayor in his controversy with the park board contend the old board authorized'a “lefthanded” endowment of Butler University when it bought from that institution for $233,000 a small fraction of Fairview Park which the university purchased in its entirely from the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for $200,000. Criticises Kessler Blvd. Duvall today said Kessler Blvd., which winds tortuously about and neaj; the farms of present and park board members, is not built of durable material “It is developing big bumps at the south end cnly a few years after its competiion.” he said. Voluminous information upon the official acts of Emsley W. Johnson and Frank P. Manly, hold-over board members from the Shank administration, is in possession of Duvall. The data consists of affidavits from present and former boabd employes purporting to show that city employes drew public pay for beautification of lawns of high city o/ficials, board members and friends, it is said. Photographs of the premises are said to reveal the fact that trees of a type grown only in city nurseries are flourishing on Some private lawns. Board Reorganized Adding his ex-officio vote to those of John E. Milnor and Frank Driver, his appointees to the board, the mayor Thursday reorganized the board, electing Milnor president to succeed Johnson and Driver vice president to succeed Manly. Although it was his first meeting Driver bore the .brunt of waging the offensive to reorganize the body. The reorganization took place on his motion after an argument as to the legality of the move. Driver was appointed to succeed Albert M. Maguire last week when Maguire resigned on the eve of his trial before Duvall on charges of inefficiency.

Efficient Officers Switched From Bootleg Districts, He Declares. Charge that political "bosses” have removed certain too efficient police officers from districts where bootleggers thrive was made Thursday night by prosecutor William H. Remy In a talk on law enforcement before the Men’s Club of the Downey Avenue M. E. Church. The prohibition law, which Remy declared Is the most difficult law to enforce, can not be enforced unless everyone cooperates, the prosecutor declared. "It has been easy for certain pool room proprietors, who thrive poolroom proprietors, who thrive political boss and ask that such and such an officer be removed, because he is doing his duty,” saki Remy. Remy said that several police officers have told him the “bosses” have threatened them with the loss of their jobs “unless they let down on arrests.” Praises Some Reitiy praised the police officers who are endeavoring to do their duty fearlessly in face of threats they will lose their jobs. Remy said that while investigations have disclosed a number of officers have been "bought off” by the bootlegging element, the majority are enforcing the law Impartially. In order to aid him in his campaign to wipe out the liquor sources in the city, Remy has hung a huge map lr his office showing places which have been reported to police. Remy said these places will he personally visited by investigators from his office to ascertain whether or not the police have cleaned them up. Remy also said that failure of the courts to mete ,out sufficient punishment and of the parole boards to be severe, contribute toward the defeat of the enforcement of the prohibition yt. Stiff sentences and heavy fines mean very little If the parole boards free convicted persons without,just reason, said Remy. For several weeks the county grand jury has been Investigating reports certain officers 'accepted “hush” money from poolroom and soft drink parlor proprietors. Remy declared that one proprietor confessed to him that he paid as high as $7,000 for police protection which he did not get. The failure of the police to stop from raiding the man's establishment resulted In his Remy said. Ready to Act Remy declared that his office has been quietly studying the situation for several weeks and that it will not be long before he will tak,e action against certain officers and polltlclans Involved in the alleged corruption.

Leo was present when the date'was unnounced. But there may ho some trouble in bringing the ease to trial, It whs indieated. when the judge attached a proviso *o his announcement to the effect that the case will not #tart until the Marion County council make a special apiroprlatlon to pay the fees of three Franklin attorneys who are to assist Ira Holmes of IndliinaiMilis In defending I,e#. Won't l‘ny in Advance Harry Dunn, county auditor and council secretary, said such a special niipropriation will not be made In advance. The council will not nee‘ until June 28, according to Dunn. Furthermore, he stated, it is not a customary practice for the county to pay expense* of defense assistant attorneys. They will have to turn In their hills for services w hen the trial is concluded, he said, and take a chance on getting some money from the county. The three defense assistant# are Henry White and George and Charles Staff of the firm of Staff A Staff. Prosecutor Clarence Lond and Fred R. Owens, both of Franklin, will assist In the prosecution.
