George Coffin Ally Doomed
Ito Take Over Bench
of Cameron.
WOULD SUCCEED WHITE
Pressure on Jackson to
Meet Boss Wishes Is
Indicated.

Thomas G. Whallon, attorney and
ally of George v. Cof1nf1 Republican
district chairman, probably will
take over the court of Judge Clifton
R. Cameron at police headquarters
if he receives a municipal court ap-
pointment from Governor Ed Jack
son Jan. l, it was learned today.
Whallon is said to have the sup
port Of the county organization, now
on the verge of a break in ranks, to
succeed Judge Dan v. White in mu-
nicipal court one, when Whites term
expires.
However, it was learned Coffin
favors a transfer of Cameron to the
courthouse court and Whallon, if
appointed, to Cameron's court.
The courthouse courts are con-
cerned mostly with civil litigation,
while those at headquarters handle
criminal cases.
White is a candidate for reap
pointment to the bench and wants
to serve a second term. However,
Coffin is said to have concentrated
all his influence with his former
co-defendant, jackson, in getting
the post for Whallon.
Whallon last week signed the
$1,000 bond for County Councilman
Paul S. Dunn, Coffin supporter,
who was indicted by the grand jury
on a perjury charge. Whallon and
Dunn slipped into county Jail and
made bond while Sheriff Omer Haw-
kins, Republican county chairman
under Coffin, told newspaper men
Dunn would appear at his Office.
Whallon has been looked upon for
some time as "Cofin's messenger
Several months prior to the recent
election, Whallon spent much of his
time in county headquarters. The
attorney was an interested spec
tator in the conspiracy trial in
criminal court several months ago
of Ed Jackson, Coffin and Robert
I. Marsh, former law partner of
Jacks0n's, who were released be-
cause the statute Of limitations had
run on their alleged effort to bride
former Governor Warren T. McCray.
Whallon, during the summer, sat
on the bench in police court and
freed Irving Webster, publisher of
a weekly Republican folder, on
charges of fleeing after an accident.
The Indianapolis Bar Association
will hold its monthly meeting
Wednesday. 1t is expected the
membership will discuss the mu-
nicipal court situation and go on
record for White.

Northwestern Grid Player
Forced From Car After
Tenders SCrape.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Shot by
gangsters because his car scraped
theirs, John G. Acher, substitute
full back on the Northwestern uni
versity football team, is in a serious
condition in st. Luke's hospital.
One of the gangster bullets lodged
in Acher's spine, and if he lives he
will be paralyzed for life, doctors
said.
Waiting at the detective bureau
to identify any suspects was Acher's
younger brother, Chester, Is, stu
dent in the Missouri military aca-
denny at Mexico, Mo-, who was with
his elder brother when the shooting
occurred.
Borrow Car for Party
John, 81, and Chester were cele-
brating a double victory early Sun
day. John had played on the
Northwestern team that beat Pur-
due, and Chester was a member of
the academy team that defeated
Morgan Park military academy here.
The youths are sons of DR.. A. E.
Acher of Ft. Dodge, Iowa, who is on
a trip and has not yet been located.
Mrs. Archer was informed of the
shooting by telephone.
The youths borrowed an automo-
bile from a fraternity brother Of the
elder Acher in Evanston and started
out to make a night Of it. They
stopped at several night clubs.
Then they took their girl COM
panions home and we're returning
to Evanston when they scraped fen
ders with a large car at Michigan
avenue and Roosevelt road.
Forced From Auto
John, who was driving, kept on
going. His car was forced to the curb
by the gangster automobile and the
youths ordered to get out. They
alighted and one of the gangsters
started shooting. Two bullets
struck John, one in the back and
the other in the leg.
The gangster car speeded away
and Chester called two motorcycle
policemen. The gangster car cireled
the block and the policemen picked
up the trail, following the large au-
tomobile through the loop and on
north, where they lost it after fir
ing several shots.
John was taken to the hospital
and Chester to detectives headquar-
tiers, where he admitted he and his
brotherhad been drinking, but said
they we're not intoxicated.

VOLCANOES FURY NEARLY
SPENT, SCIENTIST SAYS
Damage Caused by Etna'S
Eruption Estimated
Over $25,OO0,0O0.
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CATANIA, Sicily. Nov. 12.--Mt.
Etna, after devastating a large
sector of the fertile and populous
country on its slopes, gave indica-
tions today that its eruption was
about to abate.
Professor Gaetano Ponte, of the
Etna observatory, flew in a military
airplane today over the entire
course OF the river of lava which
gushed from eruptive mouths near
the summit and spread out fan
wise towards the plain and sea.
Ponte reported to authorities that
the eruption seemed to him to have
reached a Phase which was a fore
runner Of possible cessation in the
next few days.
Damage Over $25,OOO,OOO
Ponte said the thick, black smoke
given off by the craters was in
creaSing, usually an indication of
a general abatement.
The eruption, in progress now for
more than a week, has devastated
about 5000 acres of fields and
orchards, destroyed more than seven
hundred houses, made thousands
homeless and caused damage vari-
ously estimated at from SOS, 100000
to $50,000,000. The villages of Mas
cali and Carrabba were destroyed.
Hope remained for Nunziata, where
the stream halted at the edge of
the town.
The lava has poured down the
slopes of the mountain like melted
lead from a splitting crucible, ex-
tending in three great streams that
have destroyed everything they
tuoched.
The flow has been to the east
ward, toward the sea. Etna towers
more than 10000 feet above the
plain in the east of Sicily. It's base
is about ninety miles in circumfer-
ence, dotted with farms and popu-
lous villages.
Railroad Line Cut
At the sea lies the city of Catania,
and the large towns of Giarre and
Aci Reale. Mascali, also near the
coast, was the only lrge place de-
stroyed. Giarre, which for a time
was believed in danger, appeared
safe today if the eruption did not
increase in violence.
Communication along the base
was interrupted by the breaking of
the railroad from Catania to
Messina, which lies about forty-flve
miles to the northeast of Etna, look
ing across the narrow strait of Mes
sina to the toe of the Italian boot"
