TROUBLE
In Store For Politicians In
Terre Haute

Indianapolis, Ind, jan 4-The fed
eeral grand jury, which resumes here
today its probe into the political con-
-ditions in Terre Haute, may add
many more indictments to the 1885,
that we're rendered Dec. % when the
grand Jury adjourned over the holi-
days. A record for American election
scandals was set when the entire city
administration was put under arrest,
aud the only chief that escaped was
Chief Of Police Edward Holler. who
was already in Jail for contempt Of
court.
The federal attorneys declare they
will not disclose their hand until the
indicted officials are tried. There
will be no immunity granted. II the
plans for prosecution go through
without change.
Mayor Dom M. Roberts. who 10 re-
igarded as the leader of the alleged
election conspiracy, is charged In the
indictment with many overt acts. He
says he will fight, and declares that
political enemies are responsible for
the accusations. Mayor Roberts is a
candidate for the Democratic nOml-
nation for governor In 1916. He has
had rapid rise In politics, and is a
new conner in state politics.
The trouble is said to date back TO
1910, when Roberts was appointed
city engineer of Terre Haute. At that
time he organized the city council
against the mayor, who retaliated ~
discharging Roberts. The latter built
up a machine that won for him the
Democratic candidacy for mayer. and
no won the office. During that cleo
ton men were slugged at the polls,
election officials were driven from
the polling places and Governor Rails
ton was asked to take hand. An in
vestlgation was made shortly after
ward, and the grand jury returned in
dictments against Roberts and q mum.
Der of his supporters. After Il sensa
tIonal trial, during which the specta
tors were searched for guns. Roberts
was acquitted.
The present investigation by the
federal grand jury began In Novom
her. II was estimated that fully 40C
Witnesses were examined, and many
more may be summoned to appear
4this week.
Among the charges against Mayor
Roberts are the levying of assess
ments on proprietors of saloons
dance halls, gambling houses and re
sorts, to be used for the registration
OF VOTERS, hiring men to transport re
lpcaters from one precinct to another
oconspir!ng to place on certain cleo
tiop boards only men he could In
auence. and ordering the arrest Of
CERTAIN men to prevent their voting
and directing the making of false reg
isfr'tion cards.
Dennis Shea, sheriff of Vigo county
Circuit Judge Eli II. Redma, CIT,
Judge Thomas Smith were among til,
others indicted with the mayor. Sim
liar overt acts are charged agains
those already arrested, and Others
are charged with strong-arm persua
sion.
The federal authorities charge tha
three postal laws were violated In thu
alleged conspiracy and they conten,
that inasmuch al II United State
senator and congressman wero vot
ed for, the federal government ha
jurisdiction In the case.
The indicted men will probably b.
aTaigned on January Is, and thei
trials will be set al that time.
