pleads.

PLEA TO ROUT
COFFIN VOICED
BY HOFFMAN
Decent Republicans Urged
to Regain Control of
Their Party.

The rank and file of the Re-
publican party. constituting a ma
jority, has lost control of the or
ganization and no longer has a voice
in nomination of candidates" de-
clared John w. Hoffman, former
mayor of indianapolis, in radio
appeal Tuesday night over station
WFBM.
He said the only manner in
which the respectable element Of
the Republican party can rid it.
self Of CoffiniSm is in the election
of the Democratic ticket and so
take away the patronage upon
which the organization perpetuates
itself.
There is no other way by which
the party can free itself from the
unholy hands that now have it in
their clutches" Hoffman said.
You have freed the city and
the schools. from Coffinism. You
now have the opportunity to finish
the job of freeing the county. The
Democratic ticket is worthy Of your
support and the support of all
citizens.
Our nominees are of the highest
character and ability. Each is out
standing for honesty and efficient
service to the public.
None is boss controlled and none
supported by the underworld.
Louis Ludlow, our candidate for
congress is the best and most use
full representative this district ever
has had. He is Of the highest type
OF American gentleman, both in
public and private life. His defeat
would be an irrevocable loss to this
district and the country at large"
Hoffman declared the "plaintive
cry Of Republican ofIiceseekers to
support President Hoover is a far
cry and has no local application and
is made to distract attention from
the principal -Coffinism."
Describing the extravagances and
waste caused by Coffinism, the for
mer mayor declared that private
rather than public interests have
been served and maladministration
and graft have taken the place of
honest public business"

vOODOO HAUNTS
NEGRO FAMILY
Couple Jailed, Car Seized
and Apartment Burns.

Voodoo Tuesday went on the trail
of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Fowler,
Negroes, 94S1a Hosbrook street.
First the voodoo led Fowler be-
fore a municipal court judge, where
he was convicted on liquor charge.
and penalized with a 500 fine and
sixty days jail sentence.
Then it herded Mrs. Fowler into
the hands Of police on liquor sale
charges. She was arrested with
Clarence Jackson, 35, Negro, 1858
Lockwood street, alleged rum run
ner for the Fowler marital booze
combination.
They were in Fowler's car, and
the voodoo arranged things so that
the auto was confiscated because
liquor was seized in it.
Finally the imp perched a short
distance away from the Fowler
apartment, and grinned as flames
began to lick at the walls of the
building. Theirs was one of four
apartments that burned in the
building early today.

STATES RIGHTS
ON RUM Played
BY DR.. WILSON
Rather See Old Days Than
U. S. Control Asserts
Dry Law Champion.

Dwight Morrow, the Anti Saloon
League, and the stock speculations
of Bishop James Cannon Jr., re-
ceived censure from DR.. Clarence
True Wilson, dry law champion,
when he addressed the area con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Roberts Park Methodist
church Tuesday night.
DR.. Wilson credited the fame OF
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh with
winning the senatorial nomination
Of New Jersey for his ''in-laW,"
Morrow.
"And some of Morrow's friends are
going so far as to boost Morrow for
the presidency. They want Morrow
to run as a wet in wet states and
as Lindys father-in-law in dry
states" he declared.
Hits Anti Saloon League
He raped the Anti-Saloon League
for placing approval on opposing
candidates in elections and thereby
losing dry champions.
''There's the case Of VolStead, who
lost his seat in the house. The Anti
Saloon League said both he and his
opponent were satisfactory, with the
result one Of our staunchest drys
was read out of congress- DR.. Viii
son said.
Of Bishop Cannon's stock specu-'
lations DR.. Wilson said, 1.-THE best
thing God can do when we specu-
late, as Cannon did, is to see that
we lose it."
Calls Poll Inaccurate
He decried the Literary Digest
poll on prohibition as inaccurate
and asserted elections are the only
true way to determine the sentiment
of the people,
After reciting how he was called
on by Golfers magazine to go with
Clarence Darrow to Canada to in
spect governmental control Of liquor
and to write an article from the dry
standpoint he asserted:
"Our fight for the next five years
will be against government owner
ship of liquor interests and states
rights. That's~to be the slogan of
the vets.
Rather See Old Days
At would rather see the return of
the open saloon, the brothels, the
dominance of the brewery associa-
lions and have all that multiplied,
than to see Uncle Sam up to his
eyes in the liquor business as in
Canada.
1.-THE vets and everyone admits
that Uncle Sam is a poor business
man, but the vets believe he'll be
a better saloon keeper" he added.
Ridicule of wet congressman and
their methods, with attacks on the
wet press and charges that the
press had suppressed news vital to
the dry cause, were made by DR..
Wilson.

sSOOVER DARES PRESIDENT GRAVEYA RID IN SE7ALE- CAS-
COURT FORBIDS
LEVIES AGAINST
POLICYHOLDERS
Federal Auto Case Ruling
to Be Appealed by
Receiver.

Appeal to the Indiana supreme
court of Adhesion of Superior Judge
William S. McMaster releasing for
mer policyholders in the defunct
Federal Automobile Association from
assessments levied against them by
the receiver was prepared today by
receivers attorneys.
At the same time Carrot w. Olds
receiver, began an audit of his books
on instructions Of the court prepare
tory to repaying wholly or in part
the assessment paid by policy hold
ers during the receivership.
McMaster, finding in favor OF
more than 100000 policyholders, a
majority of whom live in Indianapo-
lis, set aside a previous ruling of Su-
perior Judge Byron K. Elliott, who a
year ago ruled the assessment
should be paid.
$S,OOO,OOO in Assessment
Assessments aggregating about
100000 had been levied against
holders of policies in 1924, 1925,
1926 and 1927 under Elliott's ruling.
McMaster, successor to Elicit oil
the superior court four bench, ruled
in favor of group of policyholders,
who filed an intervening petition
shortly after Elliott authorized the
receiver to collect the assessments.
The receivership was established
in February, 1928, under Elliott
McMaster held former Judge Ell
lott had no jurisdiction to name a
receiver for the so-called reserve
fund of the association, and that
the court had no authority to order
assessment of former policyholders.
Not to Indicate Refunds
McMaster indicated he will not
determine method of refunding
money paid in assessments until a
final decision has been made by the
state supreme court.
A recent report of the receiver
shows he collected in excess of
$4,000 under Elliott's ruling, and
at the same time incurred expenses
of $71,229. Of this amount $4,000
was paid to the receiver and his
attorneys, and the balance was
spent for auditing and travelling
expenses
McMaster in his twenty-two-page
ruling declared Indiana statutes af-
ford only mild protection" to pol
icyholders in reciprocal insurance
companies.
Fault Not in Law
1.-THE fault is not, however, in the
administration of the law. These
parties (policyholders) entered into
an ingenious arrangement for insur-
ance which is all right when it
works, but very disastrous when it
fails" McMaster said.
1.-THE statute which authorizes the
plan of effecting insurance between
subscribers on the reciprocal plan
by exchanging contracts with each
other, has set up very mild require
ments for the protection of those
who exchange contracts under it's
authority" McMaster held.
1.-THE court is of the opinion that
the appointment Of a receiver in
this cause was valid, but that said
receiver has power only over funds
held in the exchange"
