NEW LINEUP IN !
i. S. MARSHAL s
OFFICE PUZZLE
Who'll Get Jobs if MeIoy,
Coffin Man, Succeeds
Linus Meredith?

That there will be several changes
in the personnel of the office of the
United States marshal if A. c. Meloy,
Robinson-Coffin choice, is appointed
by President Coolidge, has caused a
furry among the faithful in mad
desire to secure a berth.
Meloy it is said. is to be named by
President Coolidge to succeed Linus
p. Meredith, present incumbent.
whose four-year term has just ex-
pired. Appointment is on recon-
mendation Of Senators from the
State in which the position is To-
Gated.
Chief among those who feel that
their loyalty should be rewarded is
Andrew N. Warren, now temporary
or special deputy marshal and for
mer subordinate at the Indiana Re-
formatory.
Machine Support
Warren is said to have the support
Of the Cofin-Dodson Marion County
Republican machine, which Is the
power behind the throne Of Senator
Arthur r. Robinson. This support
is due Warren, his friends state, be-
cause of the information given Cot
fin during the last Legislature when
an investigation of the Reformatory
and it's head, A. F. Miles, was made
by a special committee of the As
sembly.
For many years Warren worked
with Miles at the old reformatory at
Jeffersonville. When politics pre-
vented the appointment of Warren
as deputy under Miles, a friction de
evloped which time has not healed.
Just whom Warren will succeed
in the n1arshaTs office is not known,
but his work as special deputy has
been for the purpose of thoroughly
familiarizing him with the duties.
George Anthony, the latest addi-
ton to the marshals force in regu-
lar capacity, probably will feel the AK

Other Deputies

deputy, will land also is causing fur
rows in the brows Of his friends.

main but the lineup discussed
eliminates him shortly after some
friendly Coffin man gets the lay Of
| the land.
Charles Laselle may be removed
by reason of his advancing age.
Then there are places a New Albany.
Terre Haute, Evansville, Hammond
and FIT. Wayne to be filled. unless
the political factors in those local.
ties demand a hands-off policy.
1t is conceded that Federal patron
age, for a while at least. is to be
handled by Senator Robinson as a
reward. for providing the Coffin ma
chine in Marion County for Senator
James f. Watson Marion County

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-04

The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the Senators by reason of
a view held that the State Senate
can convene itself without call from
the Governor IL two-third of that
body sign the call.
In May Of this year a group of Re
publican newspaper editors called on
Governor Jackson and demanded
that he conduct an investigation
which would have disclosed these
facts ands pay for 1t out of the
emergency contingent fund placed
at his disposal.
In n letter addressed to Will O.
Feudner. Rushville, acting as secre-
tary of the group the Governor re
fused fatty to accede to the demand
and stated that all State departments
were functioning properly and har-
moniously. although at the time
every effort was being made 10 un.
seat the highway commission.
After hearing the evidence laid
before them by Adams the six State
Senators drafted the following state
ment
1.-THE meeting of Senators invited
to hear the evidence submitted by
the probe committee of the Indiana
Republican Editorial Association was
astounded at the revelations of
Chairman Adams. The action of d.
c. Stephenson and his intimate as
sociates, including alleged fraud, cor
ruption and bribery. was laid before
the committee in affidavits and docu-
mentary evidence. 1t involves many
officials.
"Inasumch as it affects many Of
ficials directly and indirectly, it was
the opinion of the Senators, who
were invited only informally that the
evidence should receive legislative
investigation"

aid and Huntington Herald would
like to add to that committee in con
ference the Senators who already

Refusal at Cleveland
Jackson's first pointblank re-
fusal to let reporters see Stephenson
to dispel the report that Stephenson
is held incommunicado for a purpose
came at Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday aft
ernOon.
The Governor had just made an
address at the Old>Stone Church, a
landmark on the Cleveland public
square. He was aiding in the OBJ
servance of Mission Week by Cleve-
landschurches.
Two representatives of The Times
approached Jackson at the church.
He appeared to know considerable
about what had transpired in In
dianapolis late Saturday and said he
understood that Stephenson was
making charges and threatening ex-
posures concerning a number Of
people in Indiana.
The reporters asked if they could
have permission to see Stephenson.
The Governor replied that he I'M
derstood there were mo end of peo-
pie trying to see Mr.. Stephenson"
among them a number of newspaper
and magazine writer's who would like
to get his experiences in and obser-
vations on the Khan while he was ac-
tive
jackson said that as Governor he
was not disposed to discuss the mat
ter while in Cleveland, that he would
start for Indianapolis at midnight
Sunday.
One Of the reporters then explained
that they represented the United
Press and all the Scripps- Howard
newspapers and that they were very
desirous- Of seeing Stephenson i'm
mediately in view of the national in
terest in the story. He asked the
Governor If the Governor would
order the warden at Michigan City
to permit our reporter to get into
Stephenson"
I THAT 1 can't do" declared Jack
son. adding that it had been his
policy as Governor not to interfere
with the head Of any department.
The reporter asked the Governor
liz it was within his power to order
the warden to let a reporter in.
Il suppose I could" replied Jack
son. but I will not do it."
In case I should go down there
and the warden should refuse to let
me in. would you then order the
warden to let me in?" the reporter
asked.
THAT I will not do" said she Gov
ernor.
Six State Senators. three Repub-
liCaps and three Democrats, spent
the greater part Of Saturday after.
noon and evening listening to and
examining evidence presented by
Adams. Declaration was made that
Stephenson is ready to give names
dates and amounts of money paid
in legislative corruption and official
graft under his reign. The charges
are aimed at the highest officials OF
the State.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-04
Held IncOmmunicadO

A further charge was made that
Stephenson is being kept incommuni-
cado for the purpose of preventing
such revelations.
Il personally know that many of
the things reported. to US are true,
said Thomas A. Daily, Republican
State Senator. Il am heartily in
favor Of going to the very bottom of
this disgrace and am willing to lend
my effort to accomplish it," Daily
declared.
No formal action with a view to
pressing the charges and investiga-
ton was made by the group which
consisted of Daily. Indianapolis; c..
