Investigate Disturbances Coroner Holds Inquests to
Determine RESPONSIBILITY Guns Being Sold to Negroes
Freely.
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 30.-Fifteen po-
licemen were hit by bullets during the
race war last night and of these cas-
ualties one or more may die. II
Fifty or more negro ministers, busi-
ness and professional men, after an
investigation into the causes of the
riots, have urged the Governor to de-
tail troops to end the disturbances.
They declare the riots to be the "in-
evitable result of friction and bad
feeling due to the indifference of pub
lie officials to the bombing of houses
of negroes in the South Side"
The States attorney has announc-
that the August grand jury will
investigate the disturbances and at
tempt to fix the responsibility. The
coroner has resumed taking testimony
in inquest over the victims.

Mr. Roullard said:
The department absolutely will not
tolerate the attempt of dealers to ship
green grapes, and we will dump every

wait until the grapes are ripe before
attempting to send them out, for we
will rigidly follow the policy of per-
mitting only ripe fruit, within the law

EASEMENTS CLAIM TO.
 POLITICAL FREEDOM
 EXPLAINED BY MAYOR

LIMERICK, Ireland, June 3.-The irishmen's claim to political inde- pendence is not wholly sentimental, according to Alphonsus O'Mara, Mayor of Limerick and one of it's leading manufacturers. There Is, he says a much more practical side to the question, the desire for ec onomic independence and the op- portunity for industrial advancement which the Irishman feels he can never ottain until he is permitted to make his own laws and deal authoritative ly with his own problems.
 Material advantages have come out of every movement of the Irish for freedom, but the main grievance remains" !, said MT. O'Mara. "The enc point is we are heavily over taxed. This year England is making 2 profit of twenty millions out of us. That is she is taxing us thirty-five millions and giving us a government which costs her no more than fifteen millions. These figures are not ours but hers. We have England's word for it."
