COFFIN DEAL CLAIMED WITH SCHOOLBQARD Gains Control by Bargain With Majority Faction, Is Report. BIG BOOST IN POWER r -——. n lacker Would Give Boss 7 Influence Over 2,000 Appointments. George V Coffin, Republican political boss of Marion county, has broadened the scope of his power to include the Indianapolis public School organization through a deal Vitn the new majority faction of the school board, it was reported today. The majority faction, desirous of of one of their number tiext November, or of naming a successor in order to continue in power, fs reported to have made a patronage deal with Coffin. This belief is strengthened by reports that Albert F. Walsman, present business director, is 1 r ousted April D, when terms of five school board major appointees expire. Wayne E. Emmelman, Republican county secretary, and Alberi Losche, Democrat, former count., clerk, have been mentioned as the' probable successor to Walsman in case of his dismissal. Both Emmelman and Losche are fclose Coffin supporters. j. 2,000 Appointees Involved Control of the city school system, 'tvith nearly 2,000 appointees, would be an important acquisition for Coffin, it is pointed out, because of his recent loss of control over various county and state offices. At present his control in the courthouse is limited to the sheriff’s office, treasurer’s office and the county commissioners, including the surveyor’s and county roads departments. Even more recently, his supporters in statehouse positions have been threatened with the ax by Governor Harry G. Leslie, two having been forced out, since Coffin was successful in being re-elected Republican city chairman. , The present majority faction of 1 tjte school board is composed of Lillian V. Sedwick, whose term emigres Dec. 31; Lewis E. Whiteman and Fred Kepner, holdover members. Factions Are Bitter Terms of President Charles W. Kern and Theodore F. yonnegut, who were in control until Whiteman switched to the side of Mrs. SedWick and Kepner three weeks ago, expire at the same time. The two factions are bitterly opposed, ill feeling following Whiteman’s defection, resulting in quarrels at meetings and nearly leading Tuesday night to a fistic combat between Kern and Carl Eurton, building and grounds superintendent, who switched to the new majority faction. Observers were unable to determine, despite the majority faction’s successful support of Eurton Tuesday night when Vonnegut and Kern sought to discharge him, whether or not Eurton would be retained in his present position April 9. Candidates for Re-Election Reports have been prevalent that Ed Castle, recently promoted to a higher position in the school shops, ;was to succeed Eurton. Superintendent Charles F. Miller, Luther L. Dickerson, librarian, and Frank L. Reissner secretary, also are candidates for re-election. In some quarters belief is held that Reissner, who has held a position with the board thirty-seven years, is to be supplanted in favor pf Losche, Miller and Dickerson are believed to be practically certain of reappointment. Only three votes are necessary to Ire -elect or dismiss any of the five appointees. SHRINE HOLDS SPRING CEREMONIAL TODAY to Attend From AH Parts of State. , Candidates from many corners of the state will make the pilgrimage across the fabled hot sands and be Initiated into the mysteries of the Shrine today. The event is the spring ceremonial of Murat temple with Edgar Hart as chief director John Schoenholtz. chief ceremonial director, has prepared a list of stunts, he says, that never have been used before by local Shrlners. Because of the ceremonial there was no meeting of the Caravan Club today.

Crack Sky Riders Join Air Forces of Both Rebels and Federals. Bu NEA Service . ~ , JUAREZ, Mexico, March 28. The happy-go-lucky soldier of fortune, given romantic responsibility and a jaunty swagger by the late Richard Harding Davis, is riding back into adventure on the silver wings of the modern combat plane. American aviators w'ith combat experience in the World war are coming* south of the Rio Grande in droves now, looking for excitement. The Mexican revolution has given them one of the grandest chances for action and thrills that soldiers of fortune could wish. Some are preparing to fly planes for the federal troops and some are rejoining the rebels. None of them particularly cares. Each usually picks the side that makes him the best offer. It is quite possible—even probable —that within a short time there will begin a series of decisive air engagements with Yankee fliers on each side. Meanwhile, the aviators are being paid anywhere from $125 a day and upward in gold coin. Some of the crack fliers are said to receive S4OO a day. They wear snappy uniforms, have modern planes to fly and are looked upon as the cream of the service. All of which indicates that the lot of the soldier of fortune has improved tremendously since Richard Harding Davis’ day. His heroes had to stay on the ground and mingle with ragged native troops. Now it’s different. 72 AUTBISTS HELD Face Charges Today for Traffic Violations. Seventy-two motorists were to appear in municipal courts today to answer traffic violation charges.

SCARFACE AL’ THIRD KING OF CHICAGO VICE 'Big JirrT Colosimo Reigned First, Then Torrio; Both Slain. MANY SENT TO DEATH Long Casualty Role Marks Struggle for Rule in Underworld. Today's installment in the United Press and Times Chicago gang series tells how “Scarfacf” Al Capone, whose mob wiped out seven “bugs” Moran gangsters on St. Valentine’s day. obtained his power in ihe Chicago underworld and how he has held it against the opposition of rival gunmen. (Copyright. 1929, by United Press) CHICAGO, March 28.—Scarface A1 Capone Is the third successor to the vice, beer and gambling throne in Chicago by right of conquest. Big Jim Colosimo was the first, but that was in the days before prohibition made it easy for rivals to enter the “racket” and for many years Big Jim and his vivacious wife, Dale Winters, ruled alone. Colosimo’s cabaret In South Wabash street was headquarters for the vast gambling and vice concessions which Big Jim controlled. The business grew into such a farreaching enterprise that Big Jim found it necessary to take in a partner. The partner was Johnny Torrio. Torrio Is Next Johnny Torrio was the second successor to the vice, beer, and gambling throne in Chicago by right of conquest. He hired the Genna brothers, three of whom later were murdered in the beer war, to shoot “Big Jim” as Colosimo sat at a table in his cabaret. Torrio ruled alone, with the sanction of Frankie Yale, head of the Unione Siciliano in the United States, at the time prohibition opened anew road to riches for underworld operators. He was in a strong position when a man came to town who for several years was destined to be known only as “Scarface Al,” proprietor of the famous Four Deuces cabaret in South Indiana avenue. “Scarface Al’’ was ambitious. He worked hard at his “racket,” had himself deputized by the sheriff as a defender of the law, the better to violate it in his own way. and gradually gathered around himself the beginnings of organization which now Is conceded to be the most powerful of its kind in existence. Al Takes Throne Three years ago “Scarface Al” found himself at the head of a gang which he believed could have Its own way in Chicago by removing Torrio. Subsequently, Torrio was shot by Schemer Drucci, “Buggs” Moran, and Hymie Weiss, who then were allied with Capone. ..Within three months after that episode. Torrio fled to Italy. And “Scarface” Al Capone succeeded to the throne by right of conquest. * Until his recent withdrawal from the scene to take up the life of a wealthy sportsman in Florida. Capone was the heart and soul of the beer war. Police estimate that no less than thirty men went to their deaths because of Caponed deter mination to retain his power. Many of the victims were Cf pone’s own men who had brok i away from the Capone organization and tried to set up their own. Dissension always has been common in the Capone ranks. The gang chieftain paid high salaries, but loyalty often can not be bought with money and there were many who felt that'Capone was becoming unduly rich through the risks that they were taking in his behalf. Kept Own Books One of the most common causes for grievance was that Capone would promise a lieutenant a certain percentage of the beer profits in a given territory, but refuse to show the lieutenant his account books. When the helper needed money, Capone would give it to him; “Here is ycur share for today,” Capone would say, but the man had no way of knowing whether the sum actually represented the percentage he had been promised. Truck drivers were paid a flat salary of SIOO a week and gunmen were paii by the “job” and well supplied with narcotics. Among those who paid with their' lives for setting themselves up as rivals were Dion O’Banion, Hymie Weiss, the Gennas, Antone the Greek and the seven “Bugs” Moran gansters, who were slain in a north side garage on St. Valentine’s day. .DEATH BEATS PRISON Floyd County Man Dies on Lave From Reformatory.
