EWMERT ON
IMPROVEMENT

The condition Of F. s. Emmert,
South Queen street, senior member
Of the firm Of f. s. Emmert and
Son, was reported as satisfactory
as could he expected this morning
after a rather restless night. Mr..
Emmert fell yesterday afternoon a
distance Of some five or six fee.
from his northern veranda 10 the
ground when railing on which he
was leaning as he watched a gath
ering storm gave way. Some minor
cuts on the body were sustained but
the most serious aspect Of the in
urv was the rude shock to the body
and the nerves which, in view Of the
age Of the venerable merchant, II
was feared might be serious. Modi-
cal attention was given promptly
and the patient put to bed at his
home.

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,. June 24-Gover-
nor Len Small was acquitted today OF
conspiring with Lieut. Governor
Fred E. Sterling, the late Senator
Edward c. Curtis and Vernon Curtis,
Grant Park banker, to defraud the
state OF interest money on public
funds.
The jury was out one hour and
thirty five minutes.
How many ballots they took Is In
question. Some jurors insisted they
took two. Others claimed that six,
eight or nine were taken.
Alexander Smith, foreman handed
the verdict to the court, which read:
I'VE, the jury, find tho defendant,
Len Small, not guilty"
In an instant pandemonium
reigned.
Three hundred spectators were on
their feet.
One lusty 1unged individual with
a fog horn voice raised a shrill long
drawn rebel yell.
Friends in dozens poured over the
railing and into the bar enclosure.

or clapped their hands by turn. The

The babel of noise drowned out the
final formalities of closing the case
which started just nine weeks ago.
The governor, Mrs. Small, his sis

Leslie and Mrs. Jack Inglesh, forced
their way through the throng to the
jury box. thanked the jurors one by
one and then posed in a smiling
group while newspaper photographers
shot plate after plate.
The governor and his party were
more than two hours going from the
court room to their hotel, three blocks
away. On the court house lawn hun

to pose again for pictures with his
family, his lawyers. the jurors and
the jurors wives and sweethearts.
A statement by the governor said:

Has Best Record
AS Rifle Experts

NOGALES, Ariz., June 24.-With
the completion today of three months
of target practice by the twenty fifth
infantry, its commander. Colonel A.
J. MacNab, announced that all the
officers and 96 per cent of the enlist
ed men have qualified. This means
Colonel MacNab said that Sc per cent
of the men of the regiment will be
entitled to draw extra pay for their
ability to shoot. 1t is said to be the
highest record ever made by a
United States army regiment.
Ninety-three per cent was the pre-
vious high record, made by the four
teenth infantry, in Panama, this year.
Colonel MacNab is author of several
books on pistol and rifle shooting and
his method of instruction was adopt
ed by the American troops in France
during the World war; He is known
as one of the best marksmen in the
army and since his arrival here sew
eral months ago he has devoted a
good deal of time to training the
troops here to become crack shots.

POLITICAL CRISIS
SEEN IN MURDEROF
FOREIGN MINISTER
Assassination Of High Ger
man Official Thought To
Be Part Of Plan To
Overthrow Government

BERLIN, June 24.-Dr. Walter
Rathenau, German foreign minister,
and more closely identified than any
other German with the efforts at the
rehabilitation of his country since the
war, was shot and killed by two or
more unknown assassins while on his
way from his residence this morn
ing to the foreign office.
The minister was subjected to a
veritable hail of bullets. one of them
striking him in the throat and pass
ing upward to the brain. Hand gren-
AIDES also were thrown, almost wreck
ing the car in which Dr. Rathenau
was riding and inflicting further in
juries.
To Proclaim State of Emergency
Chancellor Wirth's government to-
night is marshaling the nations lib-
eral elements to the defense of the
young German republic, and organ
lied labor. representing in both So
cialist parties, is again first to buckle
on the armor, just as it did during the
<app revolt Announcement is made
that the government win establish
extra ordinary courts for the trial of
nationalist plotters and that a state
of emergency for Prussia will be pro-
claimed.
All regimental reunions and
miIitaristic demonstrations are to
be prohibited Yet, despite vocif-
erous cries of long live the re-
public which resounded through
the reichstag chamber at the close
of a memorial session TO Rathe-
nau today, thoughtful men of all
ranks and parties were silently
but sravely apprehensive for the
nation.
While the heat of resentment and
partisan feeling has not yet suffi-
ciently cooled to warrant a sure ap-
praisal of the direction in which the
political effect of Rathenau's assassi-
nation win spread yet this much is
certain-the government is facing a
far more precarious situation than it
did when nationalist bullets struck
down Erzberger in the Black Forest
10 months ago.
Holds Emotional Session
The emotion which marked the
brief addresses of Chancellor Wirth
and President Loebe before the
reichstag reflected sentiments which
We're shared by many others, while
the rioting of the radicals throughout
what was to have been a decorous
memorial to the dead foreign minister
reflected the feeling of unrelenting
vengeance vowed in behalf of the
German proletariat.
Never did the reichstag witness
such scenes of turbulence and exeera-
tions DIR. Karl Helfferieh, the ma

PROBE ENDS
Military Court Of Inquiry
Advises Against Dis
patch Of Troops Now;
Believes Trouble Ended

HERRIN, Ills, June 24.--WIth the
departure OF Governor Smalfs special
military commission, headed by
Major General Milton j. Foreman
and the announcement of it's recon-
mendation that no troops be sent
into Williamson county at the pres
ent time, and that those national
guard units which had already been
mobilized and held in readiness, be
ordered home, the situation in the
coal fieids was easier tonight.
General Forman, after an active
day of investigation, declared that
he was satisfied that no good pur-
pose would be served by calling out
troops at this time In his state
ment he declared he believed that
the disturbed condition in the county
had been permanently relieved and
that 1t would not recur. The only
thing, he asserted which would
cause a recurrence, would be re-
newed attempt TO mine coal and
this he did not believe would be
done.
None of the old and established
coal companies favored attempting
to open the mines at this time, the
general declared.
He said that his conclusions were
based on his observations today
when he toured the county and
upon talks with the states attorney
Delos Duty, Sheriff Thaxton, Cor
oner McCowen, Hugh Willis. dis
trict board member of the United
Mine Workers of America, and near
ly a score of merchants. bankers
and mine superintendents.
See No Trouble At Inquest
General Foreman declared he did
not believe that the inquest TO, be
held some time tomorrow was likely
to invoke further disturbances.
The general and members of the
military commission declined to say
whether or not they believed that
the civil authorities of the county
had done their duty in attempting
to cope with the disturbed conditions
which led up to the killings Thurs
day.
Tomorrow's inquest was expected
to end, at least for the time being
the official investigation of local
authorities into the death of the
non union shovel miners and mine
guards. Persons unknown" the in
dications are, will be held officially
lOl lllG uC6ADS anu IL
appears improbable that the identity
of those responsible Will eve =
made known.
Southern Illinois is inclined to
conclude grimiy and with finality
another chapter in the long hostility
of strife and violence which has
been recurrent here during the last
so years.
There is something of the grim
privacy of a clan feud about the
thing, and the. fierce conviction of
those who tacitly admit an interest
in this struggle that it is their af-
fair and no one else's and inter-
ference should legitimately be ex-
cluded from outside of the state"
Charges of broken faith on the
part of the operators of the South
ern Illinois property are reiterated
by the miners
''They double crossed us and we
showed EN-" is the general attitude.
