II LESS MOB SPIRIT
Since the determination OF Gov.
peneen to establish order AT amy cost
was shown by the summoning of 2,400
soldiers to the city, there has been a
notable decrease in the mob spirit
| here At the same time, threats as to
what would happen when the troops
left have been numerous and wide
spread, and there is a well defined fear
that lawless individuals who have not
yet been apprehcnded may try to re-
new the disturbances later in the
week \ Counteracting effect is look
ed for from the special grand jury
which yesterday indicted George r..
Richardson for the alleged assault
upon Mrs. Mabel Holland, and which
today began to consider the evidence
against rioters.
The appeal OF Gov. Deneen, the cham
her of commerce, Minister'S associa-
ton and other civic bodies that eiti-
zens generally furnish information 10
| the states attorney concerning the
lot have met with such prompt re-
ponse that the authorities are ell
nuraged in the belief that the better
ksements In the community are aroused
the danger which threatens them
{mIess the mob spirit is quenched.
