CRIME IN HIGH PLACES.
Michigan's Big Election Scandal to BE
Investigated.


LANSING, Mich, Feb. 5.-Judge r. H.
Person, of the thirtieth judicial district
of Michigan, has issued call for a
grand jury. 1t is rarely indeed that
this body is convened in the Wolverine
state, and 1t is only the most serious
offenses that require this sort of judi
cial investigation.
There is, however, believed to be suf-
fcient cause for the most determined
action on the part of the officials at the
present time in order to bring to the
bar cf justice the perpetrators of one
of the gravest crimes that has ever been
committed in the history of Michigan's
public affairs. AT first the offense APP
peared to be nothing more than a colos-
sal blunder. Upon further investiga.
ton, however, it bore unmistakable
evidence of being nothing less than
criminal conspiracy. The people are
thoroughly aroused and nothing but the
fullest and most searching investigation
will appease their righteous indigna-
tion.
About twelve weeks ago Governor
Rich announced to the public that, he
had discovered serious errors in the
canvass of the returns upon the consti-
tutional amendment increasing the sal.
aries of certain state officers, which
was submitted to the people for their
ratification or rejection at the regular
annual election in April, 1893. The
board of state canvassers, which con-
sists of the secretary of state, state
| treasurer and commissioner of the state
land office, had declared the amendment
adopted by vote of 1921. The gov
ernor had determined that, on the other
hand, the amendment had in reality
been defeated by majority of IL ,555.
The public was astounded but the ex.
element was for a short time abated by
the announcement that the errors in the
canvass were due to the blunders of the
compiling clerks, Frank A. Potter and
George Warren. The public mind, how
ever, was soon after disabused of this
notion. Conclusive evidence is at hand
to demonstrate that a willful fraud had
been committed, and a thorough inves
tigation was set on foot by the govern
or.

WELCOME RAINS FALL.
Part Of IllinoiS Corn Crop VIII De
Saved.

Rain fell Saturday over a great area in
the west, including a large part Of Illinois,
Iowa and Indiana Reports from some
points in Illinois indicate that in conse-
quence there will be an average crop of
corn. In other localities that crop had been
too much damaged to be much benefited.
In a few cases the stalks are said to have
been burned by the excessive heat.
In some sections the rain was accom-
panied by a high wind, which blew down
corn, and the damage TO broom corn at
Arcola, ILL.,, is estimated at $4,000. Pas
lures and potatoes were generally too far
gone to be revived. The rain extinguished
number of prairie fires. The yield of
wheat is reported unexpectedly large.
The state weather crop report, now being
compiled, Will agree very closely with that
made by the government. but it is based
on returns made not dater than August l.
The southern, central and northwestern
portions of Minnesota received a good
drenching rain Friday night and Saturday
morning. 1t was the first substantial rainfall
that some OF the sections had enjoyed for
three months.
In ST. Paul the rain fell for few min
utes in solid sheets. The rain came too
late to affect wheat, of course, nearly all of
the cereal having been harvested; but its
Importance to the corn and potato crops
can hardly be overesuimated. Corn has
been saved from what threatened to be
ohtCf oOfn6 UeluS ndO Deen DAM
aged beyond repair.
A dispatch from Topeka, Kan. says:
Secretary Coburn of the Agricultural De-
partment admitted yesterday that there
was little hope for Kansas corn. In the
western part two-thirds of the crop is a
total failure. In the eastern part, where a
partial crop was hoped for ten days ago.
there Will not be more than a third of a
crop at best, and If the hot and dry weather
continue half of that will be ruined There
cannot be over 15.U0.OO0 bushels, and prob
ably much less. State Senator wilcockson
of Logan county says people are being
driven out of western Kansas by the hun
dreds by the total failure OF crops"
dispatch from Des Moines Iowa saws
the officers of the State Agricultural So
cicty agree in their crop estimates that the
reports sent by the weather bureau have
been approximately correct. President John
A. Evans of the society has Travelled extern
sively over the state, and has met farmers
from all sections.
