GRAND JURY TO

PROBE PRIMARY VOTING FRAUDS Twenty-Five Ballots Held Illegal Because Marked With Black Pencil. Grand jury investigation of irregularities on the part of precinct election officials at the recent primary election was ordered today by William P. Evans, prosecuting attorney for Mar ion County. The investigation will get under way as soon as posslhle. he said. The grand jury has been die missed and a. new one will be impaneled next month. Additional evidences of irregularities in the primary election has been found with the examination of ballots from the Eighth precinct of the Sixth ward. Twenty-five ballots from this pre cinet were thrown out by the commissioners as illegal, they so id, because they were marked with a black pencil. A blue pencil is furnished at the polls. Other ballots cast in this precinct were marked with both black and blue peneps. and some with two different shades of blue. The recount is the result of a contest for the eleventh nomination to the State House of Representatives. Asa result of the discovery of evidence of irregularities in the primary it was suggested by Paul B. Brewer, a Republican member of the recount commission, that in the future every ballot be taken to the courthouse, upder lock and key, and counted by reputable men. in the presence of persons of unchallengable honesty Instead of by $3-a-day men. This would eliminate the counting of ballots in the rented rooms of houses of political favorites which are used as polls, by the political “small fry" of the precinct and would preclude the. possibility of an illegal count or of tampering with the bal lots, Brewer said. Updike led the negro by forty votes at noon today when the ballots from 123 precincts had been tabulated. Returns from eighty-two precincts remain to be recounted.

Approximately 500,000 malntenance-of-way men are affected. Trains Will Continue As hope of preventing the strike faded, railroad executives said traffic would not be seriously hampered—at least for some time. Internal friction in the labor board was believed to have eliminated intervention as a possibility. Union leaders had gone too far with their plans to back down now. ac cording to both employers and cm ployes. * The only chance seemed to lie with the railroad executives. Pullman shops throughout the eoun try' will also be affected by the shop crafts strike.

BULLETIN. LONDON, June 29.—Insinuations that the attack by Irish Free State troops upon the Four Courts hpilriing in Dublin was only a “sham battle,” were denied today by Colonial Secretary Winston Churehfll.The Colonial Secretary said it was a real fight. DUBLIN, June 29. —Irish rebels assumed the offensive late today In battles which raged almost continuously since early Wednesday morning. With reports that serious outbreaks between Free State adherents and rebel sympathizers had broken out in the south and west, indications are that the virtual state of civil war has spread to the whole of Ireland since earlier reports told of fighting north of Dublin. Insurgents carried the fighting to the Free Staters in the vicinity of the b :nk of Ireland and seized the Sackville Cud. It the fighting around the bank tw„ rebels and two civilians were kilieJ. A continuous stream of fire was- poured into the bank building by the rebel forces. The Free State troops have as yet been unable to take Four Courts, where Rory O'Connor is leading the defensive forces. Dead, Fifteen; Wounded, Forty Casualties early today were estimated at fifteen dead and forty wounded. Bombardment of the Four Courts has been continuous since 4 a. m. Wednesday, with the of one hour between 12 and .1 a. m. today. J The situation is similar to that the Eastern rebellion of 1916, except, that many who then took part in that uprising are fighting on the side of the Government. At the command of the defiant ; Rory O’Connor the rebels massed for j a fight tc the finish on the Free I State government. 1 The resisting parties have huge i stores of rifles, ammunition and ! rations, and are well prepared to j withstand a long battle. Commandant McKenna and two | members of his staff were arrested by j Free State soldiers as they were hurrying toward Dublin to aid the insurgents. Collins issued a proclamation to his troops in which he declared the Insurgents were bringing chaos and disorder and urged the army to stand fast. Unconfirmed reports said that Colonel Mandeville and Captain Vaughan, Free State officers, had been mortally wounded or killed. Censorship Cramped. The provisional government commandeered the entire telephone system of Dublin and the halting of all trains was believed Imminent. Michael Collins, head of the provisional, personally directed operators against the insurgents. The most serious aspect is the number of snipers’ nests that have been set up back of the besiegers. O'Connor was able by some means to communicate, with outside Dublin calling upon all friends of the republic to join him in his battle.
