Naming George V. Coffin, Indian
apolis political boss, as author of
the measure, and branding 1t as an
attempt of local politicians to exploit
certain undesirable elements of the
Indianapolis population, William D.

ton. excepting Representatives Ella

cation.
Measure Rushed
The measure had been rushed
through the committee by the ten
members sponsoring 1t, and an at
tempt made to recommend It to the
House without public hearing or an
opportunity for protest on the part
Of Indianapolis. Representative
Gardner, chairman, refused to report
the bill and called the hearing
Thursday.
This is return to the rottenest
form Of city government ever tried
| by American cities,' declared Boyce

weeks ago." he continued, "and
am surprised at the attempt made to
rush it through this committee with
out hearing"
Mrs. Sickle Opposes

civic committee of the Council of
Women Voters, spoke against the
| measure.
"The people of the city should
know more about this bill and be
given an opportunity for expressing
themselves on the measure" said

tunity should be given in an open
hearing after proper publicity"

Rule Overlooked

Instead of a certification by two
employees as required by Government
regulations, the delivery envelope
bore but one certification and this
of a different clerk than the one who
had made the examination.
1t is admitted that the contents of
the documents became common
knowledge and easily obtainable by
those whom they concerned.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of the local postal authorities
The Times has not been satisfied
that the envelope was accidentally
mutilated. 1t was made of the
strong fiber used by the Government.
The envelope bore the name Of a
Government agent in the upper left
hand corner as being the sender.
That name has been known to local
Federal authorities as having been
here on an investigation.

Package Slit Open

When they were delivered to The
Times the package had been opened.
The customary declaration that it
had been received in bad order ac-
companied it. To employees of The
Times the envelope had all the APP
pearance Of having been cut with a
knife.
When complaint was made to the
postoffice an inquiry was started and
these facts were disclosed:
The letter arrived in Indianapolis
in so-called Jacket" with about
thirty other pieces of mail.
The first clerk who handled 1t
called the attention Of other clerks
to the jacket itself.
There later appeared to be no un-
usual condition of the jacket to
cause comment.
The clerks state that the envelope
addressed to The Times was open
when removed from the jacket.
They Read the Papers
The two clerks who examined it.,
in violation of all rules provided for
secrecy and safety, asked another
clerk to take charge Of it. This
clerk took out the documents and
called out that the papers related
to Squibb whisky.
Immediately another clerk took
possession of the documents and
walked to a window. This other
eelerk, it is admitted, read the papers,
in all violation Of the rules.
The clerk who made up the state
ment Of the bad condition has been
employed in the mail service for a
number of years. He stated that
this was the first time that he had
been called upon by other clerks,
whose duty it was to perform such
a service.
