5 Policemen and
Politician Held in
sRaceRiot
Grand Jury Indicts 81
White Men and %
Negroes

EAST ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-Start-
ling disclosures in one Of the biggest
conspiracies ever Matched in an Amer
lean city to incite racial hatred are
vet to come in the st. Clair County
Grand Jury investigation of the East
St. Louis race riot in July, in which
more than 100 persons were killed.
The grand jury, which returned indict-
ments against los persons, took re-
cess until Aug. 90, when amazing reve-
lations are promised.
Police officers and prominent poll
tician were among the seventeen men
arrested to-day on charges varying from
rioting to assault TO murder, as a
result of the indictments. Those ar
rested to-day include thirty white men
and nine negroes. The indictments
were returned against eighty-two white
men and twenty-three negroes.
Scathing criticism by the grand jury
of the attitude of the police toward
the Campaign of intolerance" which
was blamed for the rioting had an
expected sequel in the arrest of FIVE
policemen on duty at the time of the
strike.
Political Leader Arrested
Thomas Benton, for many years
leader in County politics, was arrested
on a charge of assault to kill. He Is
the owner of two saloons and has been
a candidate for sheriff.
DIR. Leroy Bundy, negro dentist, Of
East St. Louis, under arrest in Cleye-
land charged with the murder of two
noIicemen in connection with the riots,
NAV tell all he knows to save his life.
Bundy is alleged to have been ring
leader among the negroes.
He is asserted TO have received funds
from persons interested in srouslug
labor strife, i'm a systematic campaign
10 arm negroes and incite racial
hatred. A subscription list for funds
is said 10 have been circulated, and
those asked to subscribe were told
the money was to be used to get rid
of the niggers."
DR.. Bundy figured in election fraud
investigation last fall, when it was al
legged that negroes from the South
were being colonized to vote before
they had established a legal residence
this side of the Mississippi. Bundy
was active in politics in East st. Louis.
Mystery in Blue Serge Suit
"The man in the blue serge suit" is
a mysterious person who figures in the
indictments. He appeared to be every
where on the night of the rioting. His
arrest is expected soon.
Here is a significant excerpt from
the grand jury report:
"Engendered with false fears, ne
groes murdered policemen bent on aid

German Insurance
Gathers Millions of
Assets for Enemy
Teuton Companies Expect
to Use Americans as
Stalking Horses"

The opinion was expressed by prom.
inent insurance men yesterday that by
using Americans as stalking horses"
the German insurance companies now
collecting millions each year in return
for insurance Of doubtful value, expect
to continue piling up assets for the
enemy. Insurance circles were in
formed that there is a good chance of
the Frelinghuysen amendment to the
trading with the enemy act being
approved by the Senate Committee on
Commerce, and that, IL necessary, the
amendment will be supported on the
floor of the Senate.
The Senators named as probable sup
porters of Senator Frelinghuysen's
measure are La Toilette, of Wisconsin;
Gronna, of North Dakota; Stone, of
Missouri, and Vardaman, of Missis-
sippi. Senator Reed, Of Missouri, is
also counted as one who probably will
help.
The argument to be used by these
men, it is predicted, is that with Amer
lean citizens acting as managers of the
various companies and the sending If
money to the home offices prohibited,
no damage can be done to American
interests.

Lincoln was a growing statesman, Of
ten in later years contradicting the
opinions of his youth-cOnsiStent al
ways in character, but expanding in
his policies. Lincoln made the Dec
laration of Independence the inspira-
ton of his political life, and that dec
laration not only signalized the birth
of a nation, but it struck the keynote
of new era. He was serious minded,
feeling deeply the responsibilities of
his place, while over that deep foun-
dalton, there played the light of
humor that give beauty to the
strength of his character. A feature
of his nature was his own self-dis-
trust. This was an element, not of
weakness, but of strength. because by
it he substituted for self-confidence,
an all-absorbing confidence in the
righteousness of his cause. Inter
spersed with his remarks on Lincoln,
were some of DR.. Kulp's own senti-
ments on the gravity of the present
national situation.
