May TRY POLICE
IN CRUCER CASE


NEW YORK, June 27.-Examina-
ton of members of the police depart
ment who conducted the investiga-
tion of the disappearance of Ruth Cru
ger, the high school student who was
murdered here last February, was
continued today when Leonard NJ.
Wallstein, commissioner of accounts,
resumed the public hearing ordered
by Mayor Mitchell to determine why
the police failed to solve the mystery
of the young woman's disappearance.
Commissioner Wallstein said that
twenty detectives and higher officials
of the police department had been
called to tell all they knew of the
efforts made by the police to find the
young woman.
Following his recommendation last
night that John Lagarenne. detec-
tive sergeant. be placed on trial for
dereliction Of duty, the commissioner
said that unless other detectives and
police officials can afford better ex-
planaion of their parts In the search
for Ruth Cruger than Lagarenna /
shall be forced to take similar action
in each and every case"

(By Associated Press)

While General Haig is closing in so
closely upon Lens that the capture by
the British of that coal mining city
and its adjacent fields seems immin-
ent, it is a question whether the Brit
ish operation will be accompanied by
any offensive move by the French on
a large scale.
Although there has been more or
less jockeying for positions by the two
commanders along the Aisne and
Champagne front, particularly the for
mer. the German activities appear
more like efforts to choke off any pos
slble extended movement by the
French than any thing else.
On the other hand General Petain's S
occasional strokes give the impress
sion that all he is trying to do is to
preserve his vantage point as his
basis for resuming the French advance
at some future time when such efforts
seem advisable.
Germans Lose Fortress.
The most important of the recent
French drives was that of Monday at

here, one of the positions taken being

Suit Against Wrong
Man is Dismissed

Judge Fox today dismissed the in.
dictment against Harry Byrum, OF
Connersville, charging him with burg
larry and receiving stolen goods, on
motion of the state. Byrum was in.
dicted with three other men on charges
of robbing chicken coops in the west
ern part of the county. principally on
the testimony of Harry Leister, who is
now in the county jail waiting to be
taken to Michigan City to serve a
term of from one to eight years on a
like charge.
According to Leister's story, Byrum
was a member of gang Of chicken
thieves that operated In and around
Cambridge City and acted as a fence
for the sale Of the stolen goods It
was later found, however, that Leister
perjured himself to save his son-in-law
Howard Walters. who was the real
fence" instead of Byrum.
Following the uncovering of the evi.
dence against Walters, Sheriff Carr
went to Cambridge City today and ar
rested Walters and he is now In the
county Jail awaiting trial.

Part Of Pershing's Force.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The
epochal landing of American troops
can not be fully discussed at this time
for obvious reasons for safety OF other
contingents 1t is entirely permissible
to say that they are part of the force
which will be under command of Gen
eral Pershing and for whose arrlVa'
the general and his staff have been
arranging ever since they landed on
the other side.
The American troops will be an en-
tirely independent command just as
are the British troops, working, OF
course, with the French at the head
of operation as they are on French
soil.
When the troops have had their
period of preparation behind the lines
they will take a place on the battle
front to be arranged by General Persh-
ing, after consultation with other or
ficials there and probably very soon
will carry the Stars and Stripes In the
assaults which steadily are driving the
Germans out of Belgium and France
All Are Regulars.
All troops under General Pershings s
command are regulars and comprise
the division which President Wilson
directed to proceed to France. lnfor
nation as to other troop movements is
surrounded by censorship to insure SO
far as possible safe voyage through
the submarine zone.
1t Is not permissible to say what
precautions were taken to get the
American troops ship past the German
submarine zone but there is no doubt
that the precautions were as carefully
worked as they were effective because
it is generally believed that some time
ago most of the German submarine
fleet was withdrawn from its attack
on commercial shipping to make it
ready to ambush the American troop
ships.
The successful landing, while II
brings a sort of qualification to offic-
ials here. IS regarded with added sig.
nificance for its moral effect in Ger
many. II 1t is permitted to become
known there.

Richard N. Elliott, of Conners-
vile, Republican candidate for
congress, was elected yesterday
over his Democratic opponent,
Finly H. Gray, by a plurality
which will be, approximately,
2.700. This plurality is based on
the returns received today from
all precincts in the district ex-
cept three in Franklin county.
One of the Most Decisive
Elliott's victory was one of the most
decisive ever won by the Republican
party in the Sixth district. Despite
the fact that the total vote polled, ex-
cept in three Franklin precincts was
15,454 less than the vote returned IN
the congressional contest last Novem-
| Der, Elliott's plurality was about two
thirds greater than the plurality re-
ceived by Judge Comstock over Gray.
The Comstock plurality was 97s

instance by a greater plurality than
Comstock received. The pluraIities

1t was Wayne county, however.

of their time during the brief cam

the Republican plurality in Wayne
could be held to such a small figure
that anticipated Democratic plurali-

ocratic victory.

WOMEN DENIED
REGISTRY RIGHT

AS a result of the ruling made by
Judge Thornton yesterday, orders were
issued at the registration office in the
court house today to discontinue the
registration of women voters until the
Indiana supreme court makes its decis-
ion on the injunction issued yesterday.
The applications of those women
that have already registered will be
kept by the board until disposition
is made of the case and then if the
women are denied the right to vote at
the constitutional election they will be
thrown out.
Registration applications have been
fewer today than they have at any
time since the office opened. There
have been only 81 registrations since
yesterday noon.

an overwhelming majority by the con.

ties Of all Russia.
The resolution at the same time de-
clares that restoration of peace at the

resolution which was proposed by
revolutionary Socialists and the Mini

Text Of Resolution
"The present war arose In conse-
quence of aspirations of imperialists,
prevailing among the ruling classes
of all countries and tending towards
the usurpation Of markets and sub
mission to their economic and politi-
cal influence OF small and decadent

The war is leading to complete ex-

tries and is placing the Russian revo-
luton on the edge of precipice.
While making millions Of victims and
absorbing billions Of the wealth of
the country, It threatens to increase
still more the disorder in which Rus

to famine and turning the country
from productive labor for consolida-
ton OF its newly won liberty.
