EAST q. LOUIS MAYOR INDICTED
 BY GRAND JURY Official Charged With Mall feasance in Office in Connection With
 Race Riots
By Associated Press

Belleville. H.. September 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 not made public as the capiases for their arrest had not been issued
 The grand jury submitted a report, scoring the mayor for alleged dflatori- ness in taking means to curb the riot CTS who took part in the staying of negroes on July 2, and recommended that he be removed from office.
 Mayor Molman,' says the report, must be judged by his actions as proven 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. were the result of lack of ability or of fright, the office sould be taken from him and given to an efficient person.
 If his failure to act was because his sympathies were with those who sought to drive the negroes out of East St. Louis. he should make room for a chief executive who is In favor of enforcing 100 per cent of the laws.
 The law. abiding citizens and indus tries, and the respectable laboring men should unite and demand the resigna tion of the mayor as the greatest good he can do his city,
 The specific charge against the mayor is malfeasance in office based on lis alleged negligence at the time of the riots. The charge against the mayors secretary is that of conspiracy with the rioters in that he ordered the police and militia to destroy cameras, thus preventing moving picture men from photographing 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'

 WEST FRONT
 On the Franco-B Belgian front verdun seems again to be developing into the chief center of interest Berlin, at least, indicates serious effort by the French to renew their successes in this battle scared area. The French launched an attack on a wide front Friday night, centering their effort east of the Mouse between Samogneux and the Beaumont Vackerauville road, says the German war office, which claims a repulse inflicted upon General Petain. Saturday morning, however, after drum fire the attack was renewed. the front of the drive appar- ently being extended as far to the east as Bezonvaux, the point on which the French right flank hinged in the recent successful offensive.
 Tn none of the other war theatres have there been actions of wide importance. so far as the current reports reveal.

 ITALIAN FRONT
 On the Austro-Italian front General Cadorna seems to be meeting with re- sistance even more desperate than be- fore in his drive toward Triest. An Aus trlan report, the date of which Is uncer- tain, claims a decided reverse for the Italians in their effort to hold the ground won in the Carso region where Austria s best troops are massed for protection of her great seaport. The driving of the Italians from the vicinity of Monte San Gabrielle northeast of Gorizia is also claimed.
 There has been no hint of such set backs in the Italian reports of the past day or two and the Austrian statement possibly refers to ground admittedly lost temporarily by the Italians a few days ago in both these sectors The tone of the recent Italian statements has been confident, especially as regards the fight

 SENSATION CREATED
 The action created a sensation, particu- larly among the neutral diplomats. Baron Akerheilm, the Swedish charge in the absence of advices from his government, would not comment further than to say t was improbable that the Swedish min ister at Buenos Aires knew of the con tents of the dispatches. Axel Robert Nordvall, of the special Swedish economic mission, declared he was certain that Baron Lowen the Swedish minister to Argentina, had no knowledge of the con- tents of the dispatches.
 Moreover, am sure,' said MT. Nord- wall, that no Swede would have been a party to such heartless proceeding. I know Baron Lowen very well; he Is not in good health and it is possible that he was unaware of the sending of any messages. If the dispatches were in Ger man code as I assume they were, even # he knew they were sent, he could not have known their contents and may have thought they were harmless business messages" "
