We Quit

Following is the letter of resigna-
ton sent to Mayor Duvall by the
board of safety:
Dear Mr.. Mayor:
1.-THE members of the board of
public safety have given careful
thought to the changes you have
suggested in the police depart
ment, and as these changes in
clude the removal of Claude F.
johnson as chief of police, whose
administration of the affairs of
the police department since the
beginning of your administration
has been outstanding and has had
the approval and commendation
of the better element of our citi-
zenship, we feel that disrupting
the force at this timR with a
possible change of policy in ad-
ministration, will not meet popu-
lar approval and is not in line
with our own ideas Of adminis-
tration.
ITO make these changes and
appoint the man you have sug-
gested as his successor necessarily
would abolish the civil service
rules now in effect, and that, in
our Judgment, would be a back
ward step and one that does not
meet our approval.
"The members OF the board
have taken pride and pleasure in
the discharge of their duties and
have given freely of their time in
looking after the affairs of the
various departments. but these
changes completely would take
away our interest in the work we
have been attempting to do In
behalf of our fellow citizens.
-"In order that you may be left
free to carry out your contem-
plated changes. we respectfully
tender our designations as mem
bers Of the board of public safety.

Special Train Stop Allows
Ex-Governor to Avoid
Station Crowd.
PLANS ARE UNCERTAIN
Goes Direct to Residence to
See Family, After
Three Years.
BY ROBERT G. BATMAN,

Warren T. McCray came home
to his own today.
With song Of hope in his heart
tor the future, but with perhaps
a doubt lurking there, too, the
former Governor of Indiana ar
rived in Indianapolis at 11:44 a. m.
The Big Four train which brought
him here from Cincinnati made a
special stop at Iseota st. ten blocks
east of Union Station, so the "Gov-
ernor" might avoid the crowd of
several hundred gathered to well
come him.
This was at the wish OF his fam
lily. "
Not McCray's Way
IF 1 were doing it." he said" I
would walk through the station and
ride through town as If I were re-
turning from a fishing trip"
A single auto met him at Leota
st. His wife, his two daughters and
his son waited at the home of Will
liam P. Evans, 531 E. Thirty-Sixth
ST., his son-in-law.
Without ceremony, the ex-Gov-
ernor bade good-by on the train
to John Moorman of Knox, Ind,
his lifelong friend, who took the
first word to him of his parole be-
hind the gray walls of the Federal
prison at Atlanta, Ca. Tuesday.
Son-in-Law Greets Him
His son-in-law, who also was
there to greet him when he stepped
outside the prison gates, got of the
train with him and the two hur-
ried away to Governor McCray's
real homecoming.
The outside world was barred
from that homecoming, from the
touching scene that must have taken
place as he met those who have
suffered with him these three long
years and four months.
McCray faces the future with
hope, but with no plans.
Il have paid the law. I am COM

To the people of indiana, to the
thousands who elected him to THE
States highest Office, to those who

Nothing to Tell Indiana
mo, I have nothing to tell them
particularly" he said, as the train
rushed across the state line and
brought him for the first time since
he went away to prison within the
boundaries of the State in which
he made and lost two fortunes.
"Tell them, though, that in the
years I was there / had no thought

But the x-Governor, who has
kept in close touch with Indiana
affairs through the newspapers,
read eagerly the stories of the
grand jury investigation in Indian
apolis papers secured in Cincinnati.
II hope they won't make me do
that. don't want to go through

report that he might be called to
testify.
