G. 0. P. WARD LE/IDER ‘OUT’ WITH COFFIN Todd Young Declares He’s Through With County Party Czar, SLAPS HIM IN LETTER Third Chairman to Take Stand Against Boss This Week. Open rebellion against George V. Coffin’s control of the Marion county Republican machine today recruited another of Coffin's erstwhile lieutenants, Todd Young, Seventh ward chairman, who broke with the G. O. P. boss a year ago. Young tendered his resignation as Seventh ward chairman today in a letter to Coimty Chairman Omar Hawkins, echoing the uncomplimentary remarks that were made Tuesday in letters of resignation by George O. Hutsell. county clerk and Fourth ward chairman, and Harry D. Tutewiler, Second ward chairman, fromer Coffin workers. AH three found their duties usurped by Coffin-picked men late last week. Joseph Shinn, captain of state police, took over Young-’s duties. “I, like other good Republicans in the Marion coimty Republican organization. feel that I could not serve as Seventh ward chairman under you and George V. Coffin," Young's letter to Hawkins read. “I hereby tender my resignation as Seventh ward chairman, Marion county Republican committee, to take effect at once. Since George V. Coffin Iras been elected city chairman, I have not been appointed Seventh ward chairman , and it would have been impossible for me to accept the same under his leadership, as I lost faith in George V. Coffin when L. Ert Slack was put into the mayor's office in place of a, Republican. “I have not been at George V. Coffin's home for about a year and have seen him but once since election last November, just passed him on the street and did not. talk to him."

INDIANA PARK HISTORY TOLD National Session Hears Conservation Head, Bv Times Special CLIFTY FALLS STATE PARK, MADISON, Ind., May B.—Development of the state's $5,000,000 park system was reviewed here today by Richard Lieber, state conservation director, before the national parks conference. In thirteen years tne state had acquired and developed more than 8,000 acres of park land, compared with 673 acres at the beginning of that period, Lieber said. "The state of Indiana today possesses a public estate worth a boob value of nearly $2,500,000 and in reality easily worth $5,000,000," Lieber declared. Lieber said the commission had colected from taxpayers about sl,833.000 in the past nine and onehalf years. In 1916 the park system consisted of 385 acres at McCormick’s creek canyon and 288 at Turkey Rim, seven parks and five historic spots having been added to the chain since that time. The state forest has been increased from 2,028 acres to 5,000 acres. Nearly 1,000,000 persons visited the parks and preserves last year, about 200.000 from other Lieber stressed the need for the state to avoid “commercialism" in park development ana make every park as near self-supporting as possible. Desirability of proper water and sewage systems and permanent improvements was stressed. In speaking of the Nancy Hanks Lincoln memorial in Spencer county, Lieber said: “Last, but foremost in our affectionate, love, devotion and reverence is that little spot where sleeps the great Indiana pioneer mother, the mother of one of the greatest of all time—Nancy Hanks Lincoln." Madison Chamber of Commerce and civic clubs will entertain the 150 delegates with a tour of scenic spots and four-hour boat trip on the Ohio tonight. Hanover Glee Club will give a revue.

TWO INDIANA MAYORS LOSE IN ELECTIONS Evansville and Kokomo Executives Repudiated by Voters. JOHNSON WINS AT GARY, Robert D, Barnes Victor Over County G, 0. P. Leader at Muncie, Defeat hits overtaken the "ins" in at, least two of Indiana's larger cities, returns today from Tuesday’s primary election indicate. Elections were held in ninety-seven cities. At Evansville, Mayor Herbert M. Males, seeking renomination on the Republican ticket was trailing Jolui Stuart Hopkins, a manufacturer. Males was elected four years ago with the support of Joseph K. HusI ington, former klan leader. Mrs. | F. Harold Van Orman, wife of In- ; diana's former lieutenant governor, ( the other Republican candidate, was | a poor third. With returns tabulated i from twenty-four of the city’s thirty-nine precincts, the vote was: Males, 5,230, and Hopkins, 6,535. On the Democratic ticket, Frank Griese was nominated 4 to 1 over John K. Jennings. Another mayor who met defeat was S. E. Spurgeon, Republican, Kokomo, who lost 2 to 1 to Henry Quigley, Howard coimty deputy clerk. There were four candidates in the race. For the Democratic nomination for mayor, James P. Davis, state senator, was victorious. Muncie Editor Wins George Dale, Muncie’s fiery editor, who obtained wide publicity when he was sentenced to prison for contempt of Circuit Judge Clarence Dearth, was nominated as Democratic candidate for mayor of MunI cie over J. Cooper Props, auto dealer, almost complete returns show. Robert B. Barnes, lumber dealer, was named for mayor by Republican voters by a. majority of 866 over Calvin Faris, abstractor and parliamentarian in the house of representatives and Delaware county party leader. William J. Hosey, 75, who served i Ft. Wayne three times as mayor. ! has won the Democratic nomination for that office over five other candidates. Jacob Bill is the Republican nominee. Left Office for Prison Roswell O. Johnson, who left the office of mayor of Gary in 1925 to serve a year and a day in the federal prison at Atlanta, as a. prohibition law violator, was virtually assured of returning to the high office by winning the Republican nomination from Floyd E. Williams, incumbent. Gary Republicans rallied to Johnson’s banner in such numbers that in forty-six of the fifty-seven precincts in the city he polled 10,391 votes against 8,181 for his opponent. Nomination on the Republican ticket is tantamount to election. Charles Schonert is leading by a small margin in the race for the Republican mayoralty nomination at Hammond. Incomplete returns give Schonert 5,085; Dan Brown, 5,073, and Walter Sielefeld 3,134. Francis McNamara won the Republican mayoralty nomination at Whiting over Dr. Michael Rasagz. The vote was 1,024 to 335. Windsor B. Harris is the choice of Richmond Republicans for mayor. He easily defeated Nimrod H. Johnson and Ira Swisher. Mayor L. A. Handley was unopposed on the Democratic ticket, Dueomb Wins at South Bend * South Bend Republicans nominated Chester Dueomb, city judge, for mayor. His margin over William A. Bertsch is about two to one. William Riley Hinkle, works board member, was nominated by the Democrats without opposition. Dr. F. M. Williams is the Republican nominee for mayor of Anderson and Jesse H Mellett the Demoj cratic. The East Chicago campaign, one of the most bitter in the state, apparently has resulted in victory for Mayor R. O. Hale over Frank Callahan. Frankfort Mayor Renominated Frankfort Republicans nominated Mayor Maurice A. Petty for re-elec-tion. Clifford Crawford was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Mrs. Orpha, Cullom, only woman candidate on either ticket, who sought the treasurer nomination at the hands of the Republicans, was badly beaten by Squire S. Sheridan, who has held the office eight years. George M. Coon was nominated for mayor by Marion Republicans. Mayor James H. McConnel, Democrat, seeking re-election, was defeated by Merrell Edwards, young civic worker. Mayor Clata Bebout was nominated by Rushville Republicans for re-election, while the Democrats chose Samuel L. Trabue. The heaviest vote in the city’s history was past. Fifteen candidates sought the mayoralty nomination. The toss of a coin determined the Democratic nominee for councilman at Gas City. Spencer Antrobus and E. R. Crilly tied. Neither wanted the nomination so they tossed a coin. Crilly won. New Shelby County Coroner B Timrf Hvrrinl SHELBYVILLE, Ind, May B. Clyde R.
