A true bill containing charging him with having “felonious 11 counts, | Crowe-Barrett county committee, which first supported McKinley and then switched to Smith, who is chair- man of the Illinois Commerce Com- mission. When asked yesterday whether he gave any money to this committee, Insull declined 1o answer until he had had opportunity to confer with his counsel. He said he expected to be ready today to inform the committee whether he would answer that ques- tion. Before requesting time to consult his attorney on that score, Insull frankly told the Senate investigators. that he had contributed $125,000 to cratio run-off primary will be neces- sary in the attorney general's and State treasurer’s races. Simultaneously with her resigna- tion announcement, which also carried | with it withdrawal from any possible | primary run-off with Moody, Gov, Ferguson called a special session of the Legislature to meet September 13 to validate Texas district réad bonds, and to “Investigate any department of the State government that the Legls- lature may see fit to investigate.” Promised Special Session. Mrs. Ferguson promised during the every test. When the comparison was made this morning it was found that No. 21 had equaled the record that gave 3 possession of The ar cup last Summer. Incidentally, n view of the fact that the tests were made according to rules previously 1ald down by the companies of other cities laying claim to national speed honors, the Washington department had claimed this time to set a na- tional record, since it was three sec- onds faster than the nearest com- petitor. The winner of The Star trophy this ear has not yet been decided, how- fully a third of the entire ¥ ever, since There is great activity at the offices of the archbishopric in the cathedral; a constant stream of visitors waits to see Archbishop Mora del Rio. It is presumed that many of them are priests from various parts of the re- public seeking instructions as to what they shall do when the religlous reg- ulations go into effect. All of them are in citizens’ dresé. There is much discussion as to what will become of the priests after mid- night Saturday. One idea is that they will enter the private homes of Catho- lic families and will wear civil dress and assume lay occupations until their religlous activities can be re- place of vantage ahead. The drivers summoned today were Robert Melling, 1361 Fairmont street; Frank J. Haske, jr., 1603 Brent- wood road; Willlam Pecker, 5508 Thir- teenth street; Robert C.

Rogers, of Riverdale which was crossing the road shortly before it was struck by the Davis car, and then saw the Davis machine try to swerve back. He estimated from the high-pitched hum of the motor and from watching it approach, that it was making 40 to 50 miles per hour.

'In addition he told of spending $34,724.85 during the, campaign on propaganda against the World Court, and conceded that this undoubtedly benefitted the candidacy of Smith, who ran on an anti-World Court platform, and frequently assailed Senator Mc- Kinley for his vote for American ad- hetence to the international tribunal. After Insull had declined to answer immediately on the question to con- tributions to the Crowe-Barrett com- of Dallas, and a Ferguson supporter. Miller was an opponent of Ferguson during the impeachment trial of 1917, when James E.

This suggestion is causing much dis- cussion but the church authorities have had nothing to say with regard to it. E In official circles, it is stated the Calles administration was prompted to order the enforcement of the re- ligious regulations because the Catho- lic church, since Mexico's indepen- dence from Spain, has been endeav- oring to control Mexican political af- fairs. In these circles it is claimed that that there was much of it, too, on Sixteenth street, as well as on other streets, and that it must be stopped | if driving is to be made safe. The regulations must be enforced, he said. He fined the defendant $5. The next appearance was that of Mr. Everett. Sergt. Terry gave sub- stantially the same testimony as Policeman Bridges.
