|ND|CT MAYOR OF
 EAST ST. LOU|SFOR
 RECENT RACE RIOTS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

BELLEVuLE. H., Sept. S.-Mayor Fred Mollman of East St. Louis, and his private secretary Maurice Ahearn, were indicted today in connection with the grand jury inquiry into the recent race riots in East St. Louis.
 Indictments were returned against 37 other persons in connection with the riots. but their names were withheld as the capiases for their arrest had not been issued.
 The grand jury submitted a report condemning the mayor for his alleged dilatoriness in taking means to euro the riotres, who took part in the kill ing of negroes on July 2, and recom- mended that he be removed from office
 Mayor Mollman." says the report, must be judged by his actions as prov en by the evidence. If his failure to give directions to the militia and if his failure to call upon the sheriff, and to deputiZe citizens who offered their services was the result of lack of ability or of fright the office should be taken from him and given to an effi- cient person.
 'If his failure to act was because his sympathies were with these who sought to drive the negroes out of East St. Louis, he should make room for a | chief executive who is in favor of en- | forcing 100 per cent of the laws" The specific charge against the may or is malfeasance in office based on his alleged negligence at the time of i the riots. The charge against his sec retary is that of conspiracy with the 1 rioters in that he ordered the police and militia to destroy cameras. thus l preventing moving picture men from ' phntographing the mobs"
 No man." says the report, "gave , greater assistance to the rioters and assured them more safety from prose cution than did Ahearn when he or dered that photographers be denied their free rights to take pictures"
 About a month and a half after the riot of July 2.'' concludes the report "a new police and fire commission took charge of the nolice. composed of three of the strongest and most reputable men in East St Louis. They have | courage and ability Our evidence | shows that the coterie of corrupt poli ticians who have been tho pndoing of the mayor and have contributed to the inefficiencv and corruptness of the DO lice department are continuing reso- lutelv at work and will be able to ham ner the fire and police commission as long as MT.

BERLIN, Sept. s. (Via London)-1n thanking the eighth German army for the capture of Riga Emperor William in an address to the various troops at Riga on Thursday, declared that such victories increase the prospects that the end of the war will come soon.
 The emperor according to an off cial statement spoke as follows:
 Riga is free When this news ran through all the districts of Germany a storm of jubilation and enthusiasm arose everywhere in the fatherland and in the foremost trenches in the enemy country
 This town, founded by the spirit of the old German Hanseatic league, with German history and which always has endeavored to maintain its German 1 origin, has gone through heavy times.
 By the German army. in which is in- corporated all the German tribes, this town again is liberated from long op- pression.
 The operation which by the con-
 mand of the supreme army commander and under the direction of Prince Leo pold of Bavaria was begun and under taken with confidence in the efficiency of the troops which in over three years or warfare so brilliantly have stood the test, has been carried through by all arms more quickly and more energet- ically than was expected and was a | surprise to the enemy A crushing blow hit him and so he lost his bridge head. The liberation of Riga is the deed
 of the Eighth army and it's well tried | commander. It again has proved that our steel-hard will to victory will de- fend us no matter how long the war
 lasts, but such blows as the battle or
 Riga increase the prospects that the ! end will come soon. They add to the
 glory of our arms and eivn fresh laur-
 els to the troops participating.

COLUMBUS. N. M, Sept S-A rec ommendation was made to the war de- partment today by the military here that further issuing of rations to the men deported from Bisbee, Arizona, July 12, be discontinued at once. It is claimed that there is plenty of work for these men to do in the southwest and that there is no further need for the army to feed the 450 men en- camped here.
 Notice was posed on the bulletin board at the camp today that rations issued by the military to the men in the camp would be reduced one half on next Tuesday and soon thereafter would be further curtailed or discon- tinued.
 Tonight A s. Embree, chairman of the executive committee of the men in camp, sent telegrams of protest to President Wilson and to Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 The telegram to President Wilson reads:
 Yesterday we wired you as follows: Will federal government restore and make secure constitutional rights of men deported from Bisbee"
 Are we to consider the following notice posted in camp today as your answer! Beginning Tuesday morn ing September II, the allowance oi rations for members of this camp will be reduced one half of the present amount Later further reductions will be made or issues entirely suspended.
 Does the federal government join hands with the state of Arizona in thus notifying the people of America that it's common citizens have no rights worthy of consideration. by men elect ed and sworn to uphold the constitu- tion? We request the courtesy of al answer"
 The telegram to Secretary of Labol Wilson reads, in part:
 If the federal government with draws its support now, the deportee! will be in the same poistion as wher the government first came to their aiC at Hermanas. Does a delay of tw' months nullify the rights guaranteed t these men by the constitution of th United States? A definite answer i requested.'

Foreign Director Surprised

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 8.-The di- rector of the Argentine foreign office when informed today of the revela- tions of the state department at Wash ington, involving the Swedish legation nere In the transmission of certain German communications expressed great astonishment. He declared that he had had negotiations with Count Luxburg, the German charge, respect ing the communications, the substance of which. as described to him. were apparently not the same as that re- vealed by the text of the dispatches made public in Washington.
 President Irigoyen, informed of the matter, said that he would at once call upon the foreign minister for a statement.
 After a conference with the presi- dent, the director of the foreign office said it would be impossible to discuss the revelations until he had receivd confirmation from Ambassador Naon at Washington.
 The evening editions of the news papers express surprise at the dis closures and declare the situation is sgrave for the Swedish legation here The public at first doubted the accu racy of the reports but the American embassy has confirmed press reports
 Count Luxburg and the Swedish minister are absent from the capital over the week k-end.
 It is expected the foreign office vii demand an explanation from the Swedish legation when confirmation of the Washington exposures is received from Ambassador Naon.

 When Lichenfeldt was questioned he professed ignorance of bombs and ex- plosives. He explained that he had re- tired from the business of melting old gold and silver but his wife got tired of having him round the house doing nothing and decided to go into busi- ness again.
 Lichtenfeldt asserted that all the supplies seized by the police were pur- chased by him for legitimate purposes. He said he was melting some gold in a crucible at a temperature of 500 de- grees fahernheit and that when he dropped another piece of gold into the crucible there was an explosion. This was common occurrence, he pro- tested.
 The man was paroled until Monday morning when he will be arraigned.

Maryland Stills Idle

BALTIMORE. Sept. S.-When the federal law forbidding the manufacture of whisky as beverage went into effect tonight 1t found all of the twenty seven distilleries in the Maryland dis trict closed but one. It was explained that these plants usually shut down for three months in the summer be- couse this is an unfavorable time for making whisky. The effect of the law on the working force therefore, will not be especially serious, as most of the employees had gone into other occupa- tions. Three of the distilleries, it is understood will engage in the manu- fracture of alcohol for commercial pur- poses.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S-The price of $2.20 a bushel for wheat fixed by President Wilson will be maintained, it was made clear today at the food administration, despite isolated pro- tests from farming interests that the figure is too low. Virtually the only objection of any consequence it was said, has arisen in North Dakota where the crop was unusually poor.
 North Dakota farmers are demanding $3 a bushel for their wheat and are asking for removal of the food ad- ministration's regulations designed tC prevent speculation.

Farmexs Protest Against

The result of the price fixed. food administration officials say, is that the farmer will receive about thirty three per cent more a bushel than last year. On the other hand, through arrange ments made for the elimination of spec ulation and to control distribution the consumer should, they contend, obtain a saving of at least S3 barrel on flour or 20 per cent under the average of the last four months.
 J. w. Sullivan, who represented the American Federation of Labor on the wheat price fixing committee, said to- day that if the price of wheat came up again for review labor would demand lower figure.

Many Out of Work

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-The law prohibiting the manufacture of whisky from grains will throw several thou sand persons out of work in this state. It was declared that the enforcement of the new law will result in a large depreciation in values of distillery properties. Most of the plants are built in country sections in order to obtain pure water and therefore are not easily converted for other indus trial uses, distillers said.
 Edward T. Fleming, of this city, an authority on ffe industry said one eff feet of the law would be the forcing out Of business of many retail establish ments due to the soaring price of whis- ky thus making the cost almost pro- hibitive to the average consumer.
