Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn in the

McWeeney in the fourth inning for all

The victory sent Pittsburgh into the

Patronage Abuse in South
Carolina Hit, Says Con-
gresham.
By Times Special

By Times Special
CHERAw, S. c., Sept. 10.-Fed-
eral patronage abuse is waning in
South Carolina, Congressman Will
liam F. Stevenson asserts.
1.-The open, notorious, fragrant
sales are no longer in evidence"
he said. mo doubt some of it still
goes on, but at least they have to
get off the public streets to conduct
the business"
Stevenson attributed this change
to the two patronage control acts
passed by the last Congress. The
bills we're passed in large measure,
due to conditions exposed by him
on the floor of the House.
The acts provide $1,000 fine or a
years Imprisonment, or both, for
any candidate for an appointive
Federal Office who pays or promises
to pay money to obtain support or
influence and for any person who
solicits or accepts such money. One
act requires each newly appointed
Federal official to file with the
United States Comptroller General
a sworn statement that neither he
nor any one acting in his behalf
has given, transferred, promised or
paid any consideration for, or in
the expectation or hope of receiving,
assistance in securing such appoint
ment."
Probed in 1924
Patronage abuse was alleged so
frequently in South Carolina four
years ago that the civil service COM
mission conducted an investigation
in 1924. Testifying before a Senate
committee, DR.. John T. Doyle, COM
mission secretary, said that In cases
investigated Federal off1ceholders
had been found paying from 10 to
is per cent of their annual salaries.
Doyle cited one case at Bolton,
S. c., where he said Howard A. Lit
tlejohn wished reappointment as
postmaster in 1924. Joseph w. Toll
bert, Republican national commit
teeman, visited Littlejohn at the
postoftice, Doyle testified, and said,
IF your heart and pocketbook will
get right, I will tear down this no.
tice of an examination and give you
the postoffice."
A friend later contributed $3.50 in
behalf of Littlejohn, according to
Doyle, but the Republican State or
ganization returned this as too
small. Doyle testified that R. R.
Tolbert, brother of the national
committeeman informed Littlejohn
that not only would he have to pay,
but that every rural carrier in the
district would have to contribute
$3.50 toward organization expenses.
Report on File
The civil service comm ;sion filed
a report with the Postofiye Depart
ment covering the State investiga-
ton. Postmaster General New an
nounced after perusal that there
was nothing that demanded ANY
action by this department" The re-
port went later to the Justice De-
partment, which also has taken no
action.
Joseph w. Tolbert is still national
committeeman and will lead the
South Carolina delegation to the
next Republican convention.
Stevenson inserted in the Con-
gressional Record in 1924 an affi-
davit, alleged to be signed by A. A.
Gates, South Carolina Republican
and business man, in which Gates
purported to swear that he and his
wife visited Tolbert in Washington
in 1921.

If DR.. Herman G.. Morgan, city
sanitarian, had his way, Indianapo-
lis residents no more would have
been awakened early by the creak-
ing of the milkman's wagon and
the clank of his bottles.
DR.. Morgan advocated a city or
dinance prohibiting milkmen from
starting deliveries before 5 a. m.
DR.. Morgan not only thought that
was too early for a milkman to
rise, night labor outdoors in Bit
ter weather being dangerous to
health of drivers, but also con-
tended that the milk sitting in the
cold for hours, frequently freezes.
Frozen milk sometimes causes gas
ro-intestinal disturbances, he said.
But DR.. Morgan discovered today
that the ordinance, as drawn by the
health board attorney, and intro
duced in city council, omitted this
provision. 1t does, however, re-
quire licensing of all producers who
distribute milk in indianapolis.

COFF|N'S STAR
SETTING. VIEW
OF POLITICIANS
Indictment but One of Many
Reverses Recently for
G. O. P. Chairman.

Indictment of George v. Conn,
Republican county chairman, in the
conspiracy to bride case with Gov
ernor Ed jackson and Robert I.
Marsh, today was viewed by politi-
clans as another of the series of re-
verses the chairman has received in
the last few weeks.
Coffin rode into power two years
ago with the Ku-Klux Khan. For
years Coffin had held a small fac
ton of the Republican county and
city organization at his command.
In the closing months of the Shank
city administration, Coffin solicited
this, tied up with the Khan, and was
elected county and city chairman.
Dealt Blow by Duvall
The first blow to his plans came
In appointments by Mayor John L.
Duvall early in 1925, the mayor re-
fusing to name all those Coffin
suggested. Coffin chung to his po-
sition, however, through the county
campaign OF 1926.
Then came split between Cof-
fin and his friend of many years,
Otis Dodson, and the practical
passing Of the power of the XII
Klux Khan.
Dodson took over control of
several offices at the courthouse
and in the recent shake-up at city
hall he generally was given credit
for the naming Of the new board of
safety, weakening the claim of
Coffin upon the advantage of con-
trolling the police and fire depart
ments In camapign.
Struggle In Spring
Cofin's political enemies are ex-
pected TO make whatever Roadway
they can in view of the indictment,
the struggle coming to climax
next spring, when an effort to pre-
vent his reelection as county chair
man is regarded as certain.
The contrast in Collins political
position today and two years ago is
the more marked, observers point
cut, because then he was regarded
as a strong candidate for Repuh-
lean State chairman.
