CITY HALL
IS KEPT IN
SUSPENSE
Mayor DuvaII and 'Ex-BoSS'
Coffin Not Back From
Conference Junket.
ARMITAGE GRIPS BATON
But Finds Uneasy the Head
That Wears a Crown.

City hall employees and hangers-on
anxiously waited in vain today for
Mayor Duvall and George V. Coffin
to return from their mysterious trip
Friday out of the city.
At the mayors office it was said
Duvall would not return until Mon
day.
At the Office of Coffin, Marion
County political boss who according
to report was about to be replaced
by William H. Armitage, as the pres
ent administrations city hall boss,
it was said 10 one knew when he
would return.
Mrs. Duvall, who Friday said the
mayor left for the Office as usual
not telling her he was to leave town,
refused to answer questions today.
Did 1t Before
The mayors trip recalled his abb
sence from the city in the fall of
1925 when, before he assumed office,
he announced his appointments while
somewhere in Illinois," hidden
from the wrath of many who had
been slated for city jobs.
An official announcement of the
long expected shake-up in the works
board is expected at the hall over
the weekend.
Armitage, political boss during the
Shank administration, was much
perturbed when he heard of the Cof-
in-Duvall trip.
Planning Comeback?
'Is Cap trying to regain his
place as the mayors political boss?"
is the question asked at the hall.
The break between Coffin and the
mayor became self-evident when
Chester C. Oberleas, a Coffin man,
was ousted as city engineer, and
Frank C. Lingenfelter, an Armitage
man was appointed in his place.
Armitage said Thursday that L.
II. Trotter, works board member,
was due to be ousted and that Board
President Roy G. Shaneberger prob
ably would resign for business rea-
sons"
Armitage smilingly said that he
only knew this from rumors he had
heard.
Trotter and Shaneberger refused
comment.

foreign minister of that Nationalist
government, and relayed to Shang-

the United States Yangtze patrol.

The Chinese suffered 100 casualties
for every foreigner killed or wounded
in the Nanking riots, Chen said. He
denounced the attack on the foreign
consulates and expressed regret over
foreign casualties.
Fear for safety of foreigners in
creased as a result of reports that
an order ousting the moderate
Chang Kai-Shek as generalissimo of
the southern armies had been drafted
at Hankow. The order, it was un-
derstood, would not take effect for
several days. The extremist wing
of the party, which would be left in
complete control If Chang were
forced out, is more strongly anti
foreign than the centrist faction.
Alarm in Pekin
American and British residents of
Pekin were alarmed today, although
the city was entirely peaceful.
Large numbers were preparing to
evacuate as soon as possible. The
Interior was reported growing more
hngerous. Americans along the
Eyibetan border were urged to evacu-

Pekin, were preparing to leave.
Anti-Anerlca demonstrations at

but the British consulate was being
used as barracks for Nationalist
troops.
