G. 0. UNITES
TO solve five
PARTY ISSUES
Future Welfare Demands
Answers to Questions
of Leadership.
COFFIN STAND PROBLEM
County Judges Keep Hands
Off Affairs; Marion
Club to Act.
BY EDWARD c. FULKE

Despite strong indications that the
Coffin political machine may domi-
nate the Marion county Republican
party in the state and county elec-
ton next May. opposing faction
leaders today were uniting to set q
five important issues outstanding in
their party's welfare.
They will have before them these
questions:
l. VIII George v. Coffin resign as
Seventh District c.. o. P. chairman
as he promised he would do three
weeks ago?
2. VIII Omer Hawkins, county
chairman, cling to his post until
next May in the face of a wide
spread sentiment that he should re-
sign Tor the party'S good?
3. VIII Hawkins and Wayne En-
melman, city chairman, remain in
control of the party in event Coffin
resigns?
4. VIII Cof1nism be perpetuated
when Hawkins names 120 new pre-
cinct committeeman and vice-com-
mitteemen who will work for the
party in next Mays election?
Fear 1890 Outlook
5. Will the Democratic victory in
the recent municipal election be re-
peated in 1890 election If Coffin re-
mains in control of the party, either
directly or indirectly?
AS one faction, Marion county
Judges who intend to be candidates
for reelection have hesitated to
take a hand in party management.
Two attempts of Criminal Judge
James A. Ccllins to call session OF
the Judges proved of little avail
Tuesday wien only two judges ap-
peared. No definite stand was taken
by Collins or Superior Judge James
M. feathers, who met with County
Clerk George o. Hutseu and Prose-
cutor Judson L. Stark
Marion Club members, who pre-
viously had adopted a policy OF
"hands off" were to meet today to
discuss party moves under the pres
ent situation. Albert E. Uhl, presi-
dent. and former head of the Indi-
annapolis Church Federation, has
been boosted as a successor to Cot
fin if the latter resigns.
Hesitant About Breaking
In other quarters, several ward
chairmen who are hesitant about
breaking connections with Coffin
are reported to have conferred with
the welfare of their party deeply at
heart" Hawkins is understood to
have the support of remaining ward
chairmen in carrying over Coffin
policies next year.
Altering of party control also was
the aim of $50 members of tempo
rary political organization perfected
Tuesday in the rank of Republican
Veterans of Indiana. Schuyler c.
Mowrer, attorney, was elected state
chairman, designating the purpose
of the group as to obtain for for
mer service men a greater share in
the affairs of the Republican party.
Mowrer expressed the opinion that
the present control, as it existed To-
callv. must be altered, and said 1t
was the hope of the new organiza-
tion to form a veterans society to
aid in the alteration.

NAVAL OFFICER BRINGS
SUIT AGAINST ADAMS
Would Enjoin Secretary and
McCarl From Making Further
Stoppages of His Pay.

Lieut.. Comdr Omar d. Conger, U. S.
n, today asked the District Supreme
Court to enjoin Controller General John
R. McCarl and Charles F. Adams. Sec
rotary OF the Navy, from making further
stoppages against his pay to cover al
legged improper payments for dependency
allowances already made to him.
From 1922 to 1925. Comdr Conger
says, he has been paid additional all
lowances for dependent mother. Con-
troller McCarl ruled later that the
mother was not dependent and ordered
that the entire amount so paid, 1851 rs,
be withheld from the officer's pay.
Comdr. Conger tells the court he has al
ready been deprived of $714.65 by stop
pages. In addition to asking the court
to restrain further stoppages, he also
seeks reimbursement of funds withheld.
Attorneys Samuel T. Ansell and George
W. Wilmeth appear for him.
Comdr. Conger, Washingtonian, is
now stationed on the U. S. S. Melville,
with the destroyer squadron at San
Diego, Calf.

While Washingtonians and visitors
alike were lured today by the hun
dreds to view the single blossom cherry
trees. nearing full bloom around the
Tidal Basin, they were reminded by the
stern hand of the law that the pretty
flowers from old Japan must not be
plucked. The United States Park Police
have established 24-hour watch over
the cherry trees, three men being Spe-
'cially detailed for the job.
Police officials made 1t plain today
that no interference with the trees on
the part of the public will be counte-
nanced, but all will be given opportunity
to view the beautiful sight. 1t Is vio-
lation of park regulations to pluck the
cherry blossoms and persons are liable
to arrest If they violate this rule. The
regulation was made necessary, 1t was
explained, by the fact that in previous
years persons have been hailed into
court to answer charges Of breaking of
the cherry blossoms In the quiet hours
Of thk might and selling them as part
of tho Easter flower display.
