G.O.P. UNITES TO SOLVE FIVE . PARTY ISSUES Future Welfare Demands Answers to Questions of Leadership. COFFIN STAND PROBLEM County Judges Keep Hands Off Affairs; Marion Club to Act. BY EDWARD C. FULKE Despite strong indications that the Coffin political machine may dominate the Marion county Republican party in the state and county election next May, opposing faction leaders today were uniting to set five important issues outstanding in their party’s welfare. They will have before them these questions: 1. Will George V. Coffin resign as Seventh District G. O. P. chairman as he promised he would do three weeks ago? 2. Will Omer Hawkins, county chairman, cling to his post until next May in the face of a widespread sentiment that he should resign lor the party's good? 3. Will Hawkins and Wayne Emmelman, city chairman, remain in control of the party in event Coffin resigns? 4. Will Coffinism be perpetuated when Hawkins names 120 new precinct committeemen and vice-com-mittcemen who will work for the party in next May's election? Fear 1930 Outlook

5. Will the Democratic victory In the recent municipal election be repeated in 1930 election if Coffin remains in control of the party, either directly or indirectly? As one faction, Marion county judges who intend to be candidates for re-election have hesitated to take a hand in party management. Two attempts of Criminal Judge ! James A. Collins to call a session of 1 the judges proved of little avail Tuesday when only two judges appeared. No definite stand was taken by Collins or Superior Judge James M. Leathers, who met with County Clerk George O. Hutsell and Prosecutor Judson L. Stark. Marion Club members, who previously had adopted a policy of “hands off,” were to meet today to discuss party moves under the present situation. Albert E. Uhl, president, and former head of the Indianapolis Church Federation, has been boosted as a successor to Coffin if the latter resigns. Hesitant About Breaking .In other quarters, several ward chairmen who are hesitant about breaking connections with Coffin, are reported to have conferred “with the welfare of their party deeply at heart.” Hawkins is understood to have the support of remaining ward chairmen in carrying over Coffin po’ cies next year. Altering of party control also was the aim of 250 members of a temporary political organization perfected Tuesday in the rank of Republican Veterans of Indiana. Schuyler C. Mowrer, attorney, was elected state chairman, designating the purpose of the group as to “obtain for former service men a greater share in the affairs of the Republican party. Mowrer expressed the opinion that the present control, as it existed locally, must be altered, and said it was the hope of the new organization to form a veteran's society to aid in the alteration.

RULING BY OGDEN ASKED ON INSULL MERGER LEGALITY

Service Body Sets Out Four Questions for Adjustment. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Legality of the entire S7O 000,000 Insull utility merger plan was questioned today and ruing asked of At-torney-General James M. Ogden. Hearing on the merger petition is scheduled before the public service commission Dec. 2. Commissioner Calvin Mclntosh wrote the letter to Ogden asking for an opinion regarding its legality. He set out four points upon which Ogden will rule: 1. Does the public service commission have any legal authority in mergers other than that conferred by Section 95Vi of the public service commission act? (The Spencer-Shively-law.) 2. Would that authorize merging transmission lines, ice plants, heating plants, gas plants and bus lines into one merging corporation? “Doing Business” Questioned 3. Does “doing business in the same municipality or locality within this state” permit merging of properties from Edwardsport to Gary and from Terre Haute to Richmond ? 4. What is the restraining effect of the law which says that transportation utilities to be merged must be those “whose lines intersect or parallel each other within this state?” All these questions are based on the opening paragraph of Section 95 Vj, which reads as follows: “With the consent and approval of the commission and with authority of their stockholders as herein provided, but not otherwise, any two or more public utilities furnishing a like service or product and doing business in the same municipality or locality within this state, or any two or more public utilities whose lines intersect or parallel each other within this state, may be merged and may enter into contracts with each other which will enable such public utilities to operate their plants or lines in connection with each other.”

Fromises Reply Ogden announced that he had turned the matter over to George W. Hufsmith, deputy attorneygeneral in charge of utility cases, and an answer would be made to Mclntosh within a few days. Hufsmith took over the utilit..’ cases upon retirement of Samuel Artman, former public service commissioner, from the utilities deputyship in Ogden’s office. The berth had been created for Artman and narrowly averted being wiped out by the 1929 legislature. Properties involved In the proposed giant Insull merger serve 344 communities in the state. Included not only are transmission lines and electric railways, but gas plants, heating plants, water companies, ice plants and bus lines.

JURY IS NEAR 1 ROTHSTEM MURDER TRIAL Ten Talesmen Are Accepted to Sit as Peers of McManus. QUIZZED ON GAMBLING Many Are Challenged for Prejudice; One Given Dismissal. Bu United Press CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—The third day of the trial of George A. McManus, gambler, charged with the murder of Arnold Rothstein, began with the dismissal of one of the seven jurors, lawyers had worked two days to qualify. He was William Belknap, the third juror passed. “It developed that this juror has some acquaintance with some of the parties in this case,” Judge Charles Nott announced, “which was not brought out in his examination.” Belknap, an insurance broker, then left his seat and attorneys began the day’s examination of talesmen in search of six acceptable men to complete the jury. Wears Blue Attire There was hope of completing the jury before nightfall. McManus, as on previous days, was on hand, accompanied by one of his brothers, well before opening of court. He wore the same blue attire, correct in every detail, as Tuesday. The examination of talesmen, all of them prosperous business men from exclusive residential sections, continued to emphasize just how extensive were the contacts of Rothstein and his associates among the elite. The first talesman examined, a credit manager, knew relatives both of McManus and of the district attorney. The next, a manufacturer, knew Rothstein’s father; the wife of the next was a friend of the McManus family. The next, a cotton broker, had done business with Rothstein’s father for twenty years. The fifth talesman examined, Stephen M. Livingston, banker, knew witnesses in the case, but was not excused until asked his views on gambling. Excused by Defense

“It Is a little against my principles for a man to make his living by gambling,” he said, but added he would not let those views influence him if taken for jury duty. He was excused peremptorily by the defense. He was the sixty-eighth talesman examined since Monday and only the second to voice prejudice against gambling. Henry B. Langan, the seventh talesman examined today, proved satisfactory to both sides and was accepted. William H. Schadee, hardware merchant, was passed as the eighth juror. He said that he did not approve of gambling, but convinced the defense his prejudice was not dangerbus. Norris D. Smith, real estate broker, quickly was accepted as the ninth juror. John W. Detus was passed as the tenth juror just before luncheon recess. AUTO INJURY FATAL Adjutant-General’s Car Hits Whiteland Man. George W. Draper, 72, Whiteland, was fatally injured when struck by an automobile driven by AdjutantGeneral Manford G. Henley at Whiteland Tuesday night. Henley and Otto Mueller, state engineer, were returning from New Albany, whei£ they had inspected armory sites, when they passed through Whiteland at dusk.

President Is Leader at Good Rites Military Honors Are Paid to Former War Secretary as Symbol of Grief of Entire Nation. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—1n the historic and flower-filled East room of the White House, President Hoover led the nation today in a final tribute to the memory of Svcretary of War James W. Good. Cabinet members, the highest officials of the government and the riplomatic corps gathered to honor the war secretary, who died in a hospital here Monday night, after an operation for gangrenous appendicitis. The heavy metal casket that bore Good’s body stood before a large curtained window on the east side of the room and was draped with an American flag. At either end stood armed guards, their bayonetted muskets grounded. As the Rev. Joseph R. Sizzo of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church stepped forward to the head of the casket, the guards left their posts. Mrs. Good, with her two young sons, and other members of the immediate family sat alone in the Green room, adjoining the East room, during the services. President in Front Row President and Mrs. Hoover, with Speaker Longworth and Vice-Presi-dent Curtis at either side, were seated in the front row nearest the casket. The two guards resumed their places l at the head and foot of the casket and the war secretary’s body was placed in state until 2 o’clock, when it was to be sent to Cedar Rapids, la., for burial Friday. A military guard of honor, which took up its vigil Tuesday night, escorted the body to the White House early today. There it lay in state admid banks of flowers, the tribute of friends and associates throughout the nation. Members of the cabinet were honorary pallbearers. President Hoover designated Lieu-tenant-Colonei Campbell B. Hodges, White House military aid, to be his personal representative in the party which escorts the body to Cedar Rapids. Secretary of the Navy Adams represents the cabinet, and the war department is sending Acting Secretary Patrick J. Hurley, Assistant Secretary F. Trubee Davison and Major-General Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff. Senators Deneen of Illinois, Brookhart of lowa and Representative Cyrenus Cole of lowa, who is from Good’s home district, are representing the two houses of congress. Troops in Procession The military procession from the White House to union station was to include a squadron of cavalry, three battalions of artillery and infantry, a company of bluejackets and a company of marines with the army band leading. . Army posts throughout the nation were to fire a nineteen-gun salute in honor of the departed chief at retreat tonight. “The passing of Secretary Good,” said President Hoover in his eulogy, “removes a devoted public official.” “But the first thoughts of those who knew him best and loved him,” he continued in tribute to his friend, “are not for his public service. It is for his loyal and selfeffacing friendship that thousands remember him; and that affectionate association now is broken.”

Willock, whose marriage was reported to have displeased his father, obtained several thousand dollars’ worth of travelers’ checks last Thursday, according to the Evening Graphic, and left for Florida with his wife the next day.

The complaints were passed on to Clifton Wheeler, teacher of art structure, and major-domo of the castroom. “A director told me there’d been complaints,” Wheeler said today, “then later a school official came to me and suggested that I censor the casts.” “It didn’t make any difference to me.

MTUDOKON LIQUOR CASE Congress Likely to Demand Accounting of Funds for Enforcement. INDICT ILLINOIS SOLON Action Comes After Agents Find Leaking Suitcase in R. R. Station. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Prohibition was brought back to the center of cc: -essional discussion today by the Volstead law indictment of Representative Edward Everett Denison (Rep., 111.) and the report of Secretary Mellon that his spe-cially-added enforcement funds brought better investigation, but fewer arrests. House and senate leaders anticipated that, in addition to agitation for still larger enforcement appropriations. Congress, in Its regular cession starting Dec. 2, would take up a resolution providing an investigation of President Hoover’s plan to transfer prohibition enforcement from the treasury to the justice department. Promises Investigation Senator Harris (Dem., Ga.) whose proposal for a $25,000,000 prohibition enforcement fund was passed by the senate last winter and later killed, said he would investigate carefully Secretary Mellon’s report on what he did with the $3,650,000 additional given this year for this purpose. Indictment of Denison, on a charge of violating a law for which he himself voted, the Volstead act, caused amazement at the capitol. His past record was 100 per cent dry. The indictment, resulting from discovery by prohibition agents of a suitcase leaking liquor in the union station here last Jan. 19, and subsequent discovery of a trunk containing liquor in Denison’s office, was voted on request of the federal prohibition bureau.

Served at Secretary John Layne, indicted with Denison, on a similar charge of possession, was his secretary five or six years ago. Denison, now returning from his home in Marion, 111., to face the charge, just had concluded a congressional trip to Panama when the liquor incident occurred. The Volsead act carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a fine, although first offenders in the District of Columbia usually merely are fined.

Dr. Joseph Levenson, passing by, shouted to the faint-hearted onlookers that the lake was only three feet deep and one of them rescued the child.

THIRD OF CHEST’S QUOTA IS PLEDGED

BULLETIN Workers meeting at the Claypool this afternoon reported new pledges of $126,561.73, raising the total thus far to $396,252.77, more than half the goal of the Community Fund’s ten-day drive. More than one-third of the $786,853 set as its goal this year, had been subscribed to the tenth annual Community Fund when workers met at the Claypool at noon today to report on new p'edgeo. Their contributions were expected to raise the amount subscribed above the half-way mark. The drive ends Monday. An addition to the “100 per cent” business and industrial firms of the city was made when seventy-five employes of the State Automobile Insurance Company pledged $205,

I could see no wrong in the casts, but if someone objected I saw no reason not to satisfy them.

BANDITS GET $25,000 Make Hole in Wall to Enter Jewelry Store. sy Times special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 20. Diamonds, watches and money to a total of $25,000 were taken by two bandits from the Mason jewelry store in a holdup of Clay Alderry, the manager, Tuesday night. The robbers hid in an adjoining store and cut a hole in a wall to effect entrance into the jewelry shop. Alderry was seized and bound when he entered the place at 9 o'clock to remove valuable stock from show windows to a safe. Two hours were spent by the robbers in making a selection of jewelry as loot. Alderry says he noticed two women seated in an automobile when he entered the store and believes they were accomplices of the men.

PLEDGE OF AID BY CONFEREES Rail Executives Promise to Push Programs of Expansion. PRESIDENT OPTIMISTIC Feels Session to Speed Up Prosperity of Nation Is Successful. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—First efforts of President Hoover to speed up the prosperity machinery of the country have filled him with hope for an active winter’s business throughout the nation. Results of the first conference have forecast additional progress in those yet to come. Railroad executives promised him they would go forward with development programs. This will mean expenditure of more than a billion dollars in the next year. The federal reserve board and its advisory council predicted lower money rates to make It easy for business to get funds for active operations. Heads of important industries including Henry Ford were to have met with him today to discuss plans for keeping their factories and shops running throughout the winter. But the funeral of Secretary of War Good caused postponement of that engagement until Thursday. Encouragmg news came today from the treasury department, where officials gave assurance that even with the $160,000,000 tax cut this winter and the additional $175,000,000 for expansion of the building program, there will be a sizeable surplus at the close of the fiscal year next June 30.

Prosperity at High Level Prosperity has been at such a high level ior the first n.ne months of this calendar year, officials explained, that even though corporation earnings were reduced in the last three months, the tax returns still would show an increase as compared with these for a year ago. Full effect of the stock market recession will not be registered in tax revenues until next March wiien the first payments are due on 1929 income. It then v/ill be possible for the treasury to estimate its receipt** for next year and to determine whether another tax cut is justified. Indications that money would be available at all reserve districts at low rates was viewed in government circles as presaging a general reduction in rediscount rates. Outside of New York, where the race recently was lowered to 4 per cent, the rediscount rate at all federal reserve banks now is 5 per cent. Money generally is cheaper than in two years, a factor unique in the history of stock market deflations. The ease with which business now may obtain money is regarded here as one of the strongest reasons for official optimism which prevails. Facts Speak Loudly President Hoover believes such facts speak louder than any words which he might utter. The administration is dealing with a state of mind which can be convinced most quickly by action, he feels. The conference of general business heads Thursday is regarded at the White House as one of the most important of the series. The President hopes to follow up the action of the railroads by obtaining a similar expression from general industry that it will go ahead with normal expansion and operations. Friday, • the building industries and agriculture will be heard by the President. Kis hope is to get all of these basic groups behind his program for business as usual. It is felt tnat activity by those industries will make it possible for department stores, and other retail businesses to continue sales at satlfactory volume. Statement Made Public Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem, McntJ, made public a statement today, asserting that having permitted conditions to become unsatisfactory, the Republican administration now is calling in such Democratic business men as Owen D. Young to "help the administration out of the predicament into which it has fallen.” He remarked that this was In spite of “the carefully cultivated belief that the Democratic party is bent on ruining the business of the country and is unequal to the task of directing the financial affairs of the country.” Walsh named John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee as one of those Mr. Hoover had summoned to Was! % gton, but the White House declined to confirm this. ELECT MEMORIAL BOARD Marcus S.
