Riot Investigation Results in 117
Indictments.
FOUR POLICEMEN INDICTED
Officers Called Cowards and Charged
With Assisting Mob They Were
Ordered to Disperse.
Springfield, Ill.—The special grand
jury called to prcbe tbe recent race

Among those returner
were indictments inst fo Spring-
field policemen, Oscar Dahlkamp, Jos-
eph Ferendez, George H. Ohlman and
George W. Dawson. They are in-
dicted for alleged failure to suppress
the rict when detailed for that duty.
The report says, in pal
“We condemn in 1
the cowardly contemptuol

ac'ion of
those members of the police fo
who, having taken the cath of office,
failed to do their cuty; men wad
were paid from money ehbtained
the pockets cf the people cf this ¢
to protect life and property; men
who were ordered by the heads of
departments of the police to g0 out
and disperse the mob, and who not
only failed to use a club, handle a
pistol or raise a veice against the
mob on the side of law and order, but
are shown to have assisted in doing
the work that has brought destruction
to thousands cf dollars worth of prop-
erty and the blush of shame to every
law-abiding citizen of this city; men,
who had they acted promptly, could
have driven back to the obscurity
from whence it came, the mob that
for a time assumed to hold Spring
field in i blcody grasp.
“We recommend that the civil
service commission of the city - of
Springfield, without fear of favor and
while evidence can easily be cbtain-
ed. determine by fair trial, who failed
to prove himself a worthy member of
the force and deal wih him accord-
ingly.” .

Toledo, O.—The G. A. R.
was remarkable for

the absence of
accidents and cases of exhaustion
and for the good order which prevail-
cd, not only among the dense crowds
along the line of march but through-
out the city.
Aside from the veteran . who was
slightly bruised by bging hit by anf
ambulance, there were no accidents,
and not more than a dozen visited
the hospital as the result of fatigue.
i All were able to leave after resting.
Estimates of the number oi veier-
ans in line varied from 8,000 to three
times that number,

but it is doubtful |
if there were more than 12,000. The |

block between them and the depart- |
ments were even further apart.
There was a good ten feet separating |
each row of marchers, and it was his |
liberality of space which made it re-
quire four hours to pass the review-
ing stand. Fully half the velerans
wore badges of either Michigan or
Ohio.
Some veterans, wise in experience
of parades, carried campstools over
their arms, and whenever there was
a halt they promptly sat down to the
envy of their comrades. :
For an hour or more the grand par-
ade of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic served merely as the background
' for as dramatic an incident as has
enlivened a political campaign in
| some years—namely, the public meet
ing of William H. Taft and his erst-
while rival, Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker.
The Republican leader and his
former antagonist, met in the official
reviewing stand, shock hands, smiled
and exchanged greetings.

EMPEROR WILLIAM FOR PEACE
: <
German Ruler Says Peace Is Assured
“and Guaranteed on Land and Sea.
Strassburg.—At a banquet here,
Emperor William, in proposing a
toast, said:
“I rejoice to be able to express tl
vou my deepest conviction that the
peace of Europe is not in danger. It
rests upon too solid foundations
easily to be upset by incitements and
ill-disposed individuals:
“Firm security exists, in the first
place, in the consciences of the
princes and statesmen of Europe,
spousible to God for the lives and
property of the peoples entrusted to
their leadership. On the other hand,
it is the will and desire of the people
themselves to make themselves nse
ful by tranquilly pursuing the devel
oprient of the magnificent achieve
merts of a progressive civilization
and to measure their strength in
peaceful rivalry.
“Finally, peace also is assured and
guaranteed by cur power on land and
sea, by the German people in arms.
Proud of the manly discipline and
the ‘Jove of honor of her armed
forces, Germany ° is determined to
keep them vn their high level, with
out menace to cthers, and to develop
them as her own interests demand,
favoring none and injuring none.”
