The cases arc to be tried by 6 jury and a special venire of s5 men has been summoned from which the jurors will be selected. IL is con. sidered probable. however, that Hugo L. Black. counsel for tho commls- sioners. will present motions which will require the first afternoon for sary for the time being.
 A singular fact in connection with the case Is that not a single witness has been summoned by the defense to refute the charges of promising political jobs Gov. Thomas E. Kiiby and Attorney General Harwell G. Davis are the only witnesses sub penaed by request of Attorney Black.
 This fact leads to tho assumption that he will launch the guns of his attack on the legality of the indict- ments returned by tho grand jury after an investigation into city hall affairs which was directed by Horace c. Wilkinson. The defense claims that Wilkinson had no authority to assist the grand jury and that consequently the indictments are null and void
 
 Davis. provided they appear, will be asked to state to the court under what authority if any Wilkinson ap- pcared in the grand jury room.
 Wilkinson fs expected to pro-
 woke another political contro-
 cersy provided he appears as as-
 sistant prosecutor when the case
 is called. Attorney Black ob-
 1ected to his participation in the
 prosecution of impeachment pro-
 ceedings unless Wilkinson named
 his clients. Although Judge Hef-
 lin ruled that be might take part
 by courtesy of Solicitor Tate,
 Wilxinson later retired from the
 courtroom.
 After q stay at Borden Springs, Wilkinson has returned to tho city. He stated yesterday that he did not know whether he would assist In prosecuting the commissioners. As- sistaut Solicitor John c. Mccoy and George R. Carter are expected to be present to conduct that case for tho state
 Witnesses who have been sum noned by the state. all of whom are alleged to have been promised jobs by at lesst one of the commi ssioner, are: George R. Carter. M. D. Holmes. r. E. Danfei, A. J. Benton, w. -A. Disheroon. J. W. Lane. A. B. Bagby, B. O. Hargrove. D. c. Simmons, ". 8. Sheppard, J. T. Kent, Julius Greene, W. P. Hewlett and T. N. Coleman.
 D. c. Simmons, summoned as ono of the witnesses. and who now lives in Chattanooga. Is said to have been notified not to return here until fur thor notice Is given him.
 The commissioners contend that tho charges were "trumped up' against them by disgruntied politicians and that they will be dismi ssed as were the impeachment proceedings The state contends that dismissal of the impeachment proceedings In no sense means that the charges of making prediction charges are not true. and that the proper course is to al- low jury to decide the questions involved.

 IRISH FREE STATE
Base of Rebels at B1essIngton Falls Into Hands of Pro- visional Government.
 No Casualties

Dublin, July s.-Irregulars mus tered south of Dublin have fled before the advance of the national troopa The base of tho irregulars at Easing ton, from which they were dispatch ing bands throughout the country side. was captured by national forces early today, and the main body of thu irregulars is on the run in the Wick low hills.
 The insurgents withdrew from Blessington without resistance, the occupation of the village entailing no casualties on either side
 AS the nationals advanced the gar risen gradually melted away, leaving destruction and chaos behind. They had established their headquarters in the Ulster bank, the largest structure in the place. The destruction here was of a particular unnecessary kind. perhaps because of It's northern associations.
 Ammunition Wasted
 The irregulars wasted much amnu- hilton sniping at the nationals in the distant hills Before they left they helped themselves to money from the bank. They were poorly armed with rifles. but had plenty of revolvers and bombs.
 The nationals encountered serious resistance only at Bally More. Eus- tace. where they suffered some minor casualties. The irregulars fell back on their base, losing several small detachments. When the cordon on the south and west was within a mile of them they slipped away into the wild est part of the Wicklow hills.
 The irregulaRs have lost their best leaders, including Andy Mcdonnell and Jerry Roland. both now captivss in the hands of the nationals.

FORD'SCAND|DACY FOR PRESIDENCY
 ACCOMPLISHMENT
Washington Takes Cogniz. ance as Official Headquar- ters Are Opened in Chi
 cago--ShoaIs Big Issue
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald,
 BOO Dayison Building

Washington, July 8.-(Special. )- Political Washington takes cogniz- ance today of the fact that Henry Ford is a candidate for the presi- dency of the United States. Ford headquarters have been opened in Chicago. For the first time the pie ture of the manufacturer appears in newspaper advertisements through out the United States. His issue will will be Muscle Shoals as B specific instance of the republican party's un- willingness or inability to legislate "in the interest of the people against the dictates of masters of big busi- ness."
 Ford is running neither as demo- erat, nor a republican. He entered both primaries In Michigan when he aspired to a seat in the Senate. Party government like history Is bunk" to Ford. and party rectitude is anathema to him--like the Jew. 1t is said.
 Friend of People
 Both democratic and republican headquarters in Washington have heard that Ford will offer ''as the friend of the people, as one who has always bucked the trusts, as one who having grown rich, desires to divide his money with those who have none"
 Under ordinary circumstances. both democratic and republican Headquarters would scoff at Ford's plan to "f1ivverize" the government just as they scoff At his financial scheme of issuing currency with natural resources, such as Muscle Shoals, rather than gold as . basis. But the circumstances arc not ordi- nary. Politically. they are revolu- tionary. And 1t is known that Ford has acquired hold on the imagina- ton of the people. It is known that many of the people. farmers and laborers. believe that he could do with government just as he has done with the automobile
 So old stragetists of both parties do not scoff. They are indulging . passion for watchful waiting. The third party bugaboo has not lost it's terror for the republicans, and the democrats are uncertain whether a candidacy by Ford would aid or hurt them.
