THIRTY INDICTMENTS.
Net Result of Springfield Grand Jury's
Work to Date.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 22.-Undisturb-
ed by the clank of accoutrements or
the challenges of sentries during the
night, Springfield awoke this morning
from dreams of peace. There was alb
solute quiet during the early hours.
not a single alarm being turned in to
the sheriff after midnight and the few
calls for troops earlier in the night be
ing due to happenings which ord1-
narily would not attract attention as
indications of possible riot. The citi-
zens in fact, realize today that the
civil law is working expeditiously and
smoothly to bring the persons RESPONSE
BILE for the recent disturbances to JUS
tice. With 80 indictments already re-
turned by the grand jury and all except
one of the eight persons formally
charged with murder, riot, destruction
of property or malicious mischief in
custody, there is feeling abroad that
retribution Is about to overtake the
rowdy elements of the community. For
a time there was fear that the states
attorney, despite his earnest efforts
would fail in proving criminal charges
against the rioters. This was due
largely to lax or half hearted methods
used by previous local Administrators.
"Sangamon county trials" had in
fact become a synonym for weak pros
ecutions and light sentences.
The evident intent of the present
authorities. county and state. to change
this condition, mas aroused d new ClNlC
spirit here The prosecuting forces are
backed by the full strength of the COM
mercial and professional associations Of
the city and aided by the revelations
which individual citizenss are making.
If this does not result in successful
trials the authorities will be bitterly
disappointed.
1--WE have a finely efficient grand jury
and have secured the strongest kind of
evidence for the riot cases. said As
sistant States Attorney Wines before
he entered the grand jury room today.
IAN we shall need further will be the
trial Jurors determined to see that the
letter as we'll as the spirit of the law
is enforced"
The smaller details of the Seventh
infantry, which were scattered about
the city last night as reserves for the
sheriff's force of deputies, were called
back to the camp on the state house
grounds at daybreak. Two stations at
which two companies had been post
ed. were made more or less permanent
by the addition Of camp stoves and
mess tents These are in the far north
ern corners of the city and the arrange
ment was adopted for the purpose of
saving the men a hike" of two miles
daily.
No intimation of the time of the regi-
ment's release from duty has been
given as yet. 1t is the understanding
| of the officers of the command, how
ever, that the organization will be kept
here until well into next week If no
| longer. No chance for a revival Of the
mob spirit is to be given and 1t Is
thought that it win be effectually
quenched by the time the grand jury
| has finished returning indictments.

Sherman Plans to Sneak at Points
Covered by the Nebraskan.

New York. Aug. 22-For the pur-
pose of selecting from the Republican
membership in congress the most eff
fective speakers for use early in the
national campaign. a conference was
held last night between Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republi-
can national committee and James
Sherman. the Republican nominee for
vice president. The personal ac-
quaintance which Mr.. Sherman has
with all of these men made his counsel
extremely valuable to Mr.. Hitchcock
The speaking tour which Mr.. Sher-
man will undertake, beginning the last
week in September, will be more ex-
tensive than has been expected. 1t is
likely now that he will continue to
deliver addresses, most of them in the
central and western states. until cleo
ton day. 1t is planned now to have
him follow Mr.. Bryan at several i'm
portant meetings and reply to the
Democratic candidates discussion of
National issues. Mr.. Sherman has
promised to make his first speech in

HAzERS MUST GO.
Punishment of West Point Cadets
Approved by the President.

! Washington, Aug. 22.-Aunouncement
was made today by Secretary of War
Wright that his Recommendation for
the punishment for the eight West
Point cadets suspended from the mili-
tary academy for hazing had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt
The order to be issued by Secretary
Wright based upon the presidents ap-
prevail. will dismiss from the academy
the two f1rst-class men under suspen-
sion, William T. Rossell, Jr, a son of
Colonel w. T. Rossell. of the engineer
corps OF the army. and Harry G..
Weaver, of Illinois; and the suspension
without pay and allowances for one
year Of the six members of the third
class, George Washington Chase, of
New York; James A. Gillespie, of
Pennsylvania; Byron Quimby Jones, of
ginia; William Wellington Brude of
Alabama, and Isaac Spalding, of Okla
homa.
Last Wednesday evening after Sec
rotary Wright had had a long con-
ference with Colonel Scott. superin-
tendent Of the military academy the
secretary sent to President Roosevelt
his report for the disposition of the
West Point cadets case. The presi-
dents approval Of the recommended
ton was received by Secretary Wright
today. In the conference held at Sag
dfnOre Hill participated IN by the
president, Secretary Wright and Col
onel Scott, it was suggested that all Of
the eight cadets be suspended from
the academy for one year without pay
or allowances. That was regarded as
adequate punishment for the offenses
against the law and regulations COM
mitted by the cadets. Superinten-
dent Scott, however. insisted that the
maintenance of discipline at the acad-
envy required even more drastic pun
ishment than would be contained in
an order of suspension.
He points out that the two first
class men were confessedly the ring
leaders in the hazing and that being
older than the other men and in a
sense responsible for the practices
which had grown up at the academy
they ought to be dealt with more Sc
verely than the others. He felt in
fact, that IL drastic action were not
taken by the authorities in these cases
his influence as superintendent of the
academy would be weakened mater
tally With this view the president
and Secretary Wright finally agreed.
