Upton Grand Jury Ordered to Invcs-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Speclal to the indianapolis journal.
KOKOMO. Ind, Feb. Sat the opening
OF court, i'm Upton. yesterday, Judge Kirk
patrick. OF this city. delivered a special
charge to the grand jury, instructing that
body to give attention to the frauds charged
at the recent election in that county. HI
vote was very close and for the first time
In many years the Republicans elected part
of the local ticket. Wholesale corruption
was charged by both parties. The Repub-
licans were more specific in their allega-
lions. declaring that the Democrats, in
their desperation to retain control In county
affairs, resorted to bribery, stuffing the bal
lot boxes, throwing out legal ballots, voting
the poorhouse inmates in a gang and alter
Ing tally sheets. The action of Judge Kirk
patrick In ordering an investigation by the
grand jury has thrown the politicians and
dnc workers into a panic. The frauds nave
been SO flagrant and SO open that wholesale
Indictments are believed to be inevitable.
The grand jury Is evenly divided politically
and composed of excellent citizens. Judge
Kirkpatrick, though a Democrat, is State
president of the Indiana Christian Endeavor
Society. and will do all in his power to end
the political corruption that has existed In
Upton county unrestrained for so many
years.

China in confirmation of the reported
capture by a Chinese mob of some of the
officers of the gunboat Concord who acci-
