Len Small was acquitted today
of charges Of conspiracy to de-
fraud the state of huge sums OF
money.
A Jury in Lake county circuit

CHINESE TROOPS
RELEASE WOMEN
Missionaries Driven OFF With Natives
Freed When Mutineers Fear
British and American Boats
Would Act.
(By The United Press.)

Shanghai, June 24.-Foreign mis-
sionaries captured by mutinous Chi
nese troops and driven toward the
mountains, tied to natives, have
been released, according to Gen
eral Yueh, commander of the re-
bellious forces
General Yueh asserted that the
mutineers released the missionaries
through fear that British and Amer
lean gunboats would punish them.
The missionaries have returned to
their stations, he said.
Half the foreign population has
fled, according to dispatch from
Nanchang, seat of the trouble, but
the missionaries are remaining in
the belief that the gunboats will
protect them
General Yueh admits he cannot
control the marauders, according to
the Nanchang message, which said
1000 mutinous troops were approach
ing that city, burning and looting
as they marched.

Military Board Arrives.


IIerrin. Ill.,, Ilne PA military
board of Investigators headed by
Major General Milton j. Foreman,
arrived here today under instruc-
tions from Governor Len Small to
investigate the bloody William
son county mine massacre.
The board will thoroughly investi-
gate conditions and refort to the
governor on whether s<re is any
need for troops to prevent further
troubles.
simultaneously two representa-
tives of the states attorney gener-
ais office arrived to conduct an in
dependent probe into the riots which
took a toll of % lives.
County authorities promised to co.
operate with the investigators, but
the general attitude of local officials
was that none of the guilty could
ever be punished.
Local residents were unquestiOn-
ably hostile to the state officials.
Fear of further damage to mine
property through bumpers desertng
their posts under threats from strik-
ers was found to be unfounded
Hugh Willis, district board member
said the bumpers would remain on
duty and If necessary the union
would assign guards to protect them
District Attorney Delos Duty to-
day announced he was still unde-
cided regarding recommendation for
a grand jury investigation.
81 may recommend a grand jury
probe to the court after the inquest
on Sunday" Duty said. "It depends
on the evidence which is brought
out. It may be that no evidence
will be offered"
Curious crowds of spectators con-
tinued to flock to the morgues to-
day where II bullet riddled bodies
remained unclaimed and more than
half unidentified.
AS they walk through the room
with its gruesome spectacle they
lift the sheets from over the faces
of the men to satisfy their curiosity
No sympathy is heard for the
dead. Herrin and Williamson regard
the massacre as the natural results
of efforts of the operators to work
the mines in violation of an agree
ment not to ship coal for CONNER
cial purposes.
Trivial clashes between the guards
and miners along disputed coun-
try road served to arouse the min
ers' animosity.
Ordering of Willis off the mine
property by the slain ]. B. Mellow
ell, superintendent of the mine,
aroused deep resentment.
Announcement that the Southern
Illinois Coal company which owned
the mine where strikebreakers were
employed would bring suits aggre-
eating $1,000,000 for damages against
the county and the miners union,
stirred the union miners to new
hatred.
Trouble is feared when funerals
of the victims are held. Most of
the bodies will not be claimed.
Many of the slain men were tran
scient laborers who long ago gave
up family connections and their
final resting place will be the pot
ters field.
Coroner MacCowan announced that
the inquest over all of the men will
be conducted as one case.
According to present plans, mine
union officials, if called to testify
