ty Devices Are Used.

Twenty-one grade crossings of
the Pennsylvania railroad In Indi-
apolis were inspected today by Ac-
cident Prevention Sergeant Frank
Owens and Capt. E. Bruce Reed of
the Pennsylvania railroad police.
The crossings were checked with
city ordinances to determine

The only variance found was at

operated twenty-four a day. The
ordinance calls for q Waterman
twelve hours.
The Belt railroad will be inspected
Saturday, Owen said.
Copies Of city ordinances regulat-
ing every crossing in the city are
being compiled by Owens and will
be used as the basis of the investiga-
ton. Recent changes have author
lied installation Nt flasher lights"
to take the place of flagmen at
many crossings. Their efficiency will
be investigated.
The inspection was ordered by
Police Chief Claude Johnson and
will include grade crossings of every
railroad system operating through
the city.

JUDGE UPHOLDS
ORDER CLOSING
Mcclure BEACH
No Evidence of Fraud
Found; Officials Doing
Duty, Says Ruling.

In order to prevent an epidemic
Of disease" in indianapolis, Judge
Joseph M. Miner, Superior Court
Five. today ruled that Mcclure
Beach, T'wenty-Sixth ST. and White
River. remain closed, under order
of the city health board.
The court held this in a suit
brought by James Angelo, conces-
sion holder. who sought to have the
beach opened. He alleged chemical
tests showed the water At for
swimming despite the boards order
that IL was impure.
Upholds Health Officials
"Under all the facts submitted and
circumstances surrounding this case.
the court is strongly Of the opinion
that actions Of the health author
tiles should be upheld in every in
stance unless shown to be tainted
with fraud. which has not been
shown in this case.
1T would be far better to have
one person suffer a financial loss on
account of a matter of this sort,
rather than have an epidemic of
disease sweep over the city, which
might and no doubt would be
caused by permitting swimming at
the Twenty-Sixth st. beach under
the condition the water is in at the
present time" the courts closing
paragraph said.
No Evidence of Fraud
Judge Miner said the plaintiff
had attempted to inject some evil
dence in this case with the inten-
ton, no doubt, of showing the court
that there has been some fraud. or
something of deeply mysterious ma
ture back Of the closing of this
beach.
I'm the opinion of the court there
has been no evidence of any such
nature"
He pointed out that evidence re-
lated that the sewage valve at Fifty
Fourth ST., was being kept open in
order to make the water impure.
Predicts Filing of Suit
1.-THE court can not conceive of
any city officials being so small that
they would deliberately become a
party to an act of this kind, and
the court does not think that such
a thing was done and If it was
done, the court does not think it
was done for the purpose of driv-
ing this plaintiff out of business"
ne said. This court ought TO go
very slowly in tying the hands of
public officials who simply are doing
their duty"
Clinton H. Givan, an attorney for
Angelo, predicted a suit will be
brought in which various alleged
political and business connections of
board of health officers will be
charged.

surging mob rioted neal. the parlia-

The mob was panic stricken.
Many Shot Down
Reports at police headquarters up
TO O'Clock indicated that six per-
sons had been killed, seventeen
seriously injured, and upward of
100 slightly injured.
The first outbreak between So
cialists and anti-socialists, who
have been at odds ever since the
World War, came yesterday in a
minor clash resulting from the
acquittal of three Fascists accused
Of murder.
Joseph and Hieronymus Tschar-
mann and Johann Pinter, who June
80 were alleged to have killed a man
and child and wounded FIVE others
In the village of Schattendorf, were
freed by a jury.
Feeling against the ministry of
justice flourished in the working
classes. There were mutters that
trouble would develop today.
Workman Seeks Revenge
n At 9 a. m. hundreds of workmen
Nay down their tolls and marched to
the city Jail.
Angry cries of revenge against
the Fascists" went up and the mob
continued to gain in numbers.
There was no stopping the on
rush,
The crowd Stormed the Palace of
Justice, one of the parliament build
ings near the heart of the city, and
seized documents, which they
burned.
They then set fire to the building
and prevented firemen from ap-
proacing.
Police fired desultorily, but the
crowd held on and even cut the fire
hose to keep the blaze raging in the
courthouse.
Shout for Revolution
Meanwhile, cries of revolution
were heard in various parts Of the
city. Police save one householder
from being the victim Of a mob.
Leading Socialists came before
the crowds and pleaded for order.
They were met with cries Of:
"Traitor! Now our day has come
You have cold feet!"
Groups attacked a police station
and turned on newspaper Offices.
The mob then gathered in front
Of the city hall.
Y The rioting took place near the
Opera, only a block or so away
from the Imperial Hotel, where
many American tourists are staying.
Part Of the increasing crowd at
tempted without success to set fire
TO a police station near the city
hall.
