CHICAGO. July 28. At least six
Indictments for responsibility for the
Eastland disaster of last Saturday
will be returned by the state grand
Jury, according to an announcement
by State's Attorney Hoyne. It will
not be decided until a later time
whether to ask indictments on
charges of criminal carelessness or
on manslaughter.
"There Is plenty of evidence for
either charge," Mr. Hoyne said.
The coroner's inquest, it is ex
pected, will be completed later, and
immediately thereafter the state
grand Jury will go into session.
Explaining the taking into custody
of W. K. Greenebaum, general man
ager of the Indiana Transportation
company, which leased the Eastland
last Saturday, Mr. Hoyne said:
"Mr. Greenebaum, in response to
questions at the inquest, admitted
that he knew nothing about the East
land, but added that he knew, or had
heard, that It was not seaworthy."
Other agencies investigating the dis
aster are continuing their work. Sec
retary William C. Redfield of the De
partment of Commerce, who Is here on
instructions from President Wilson said
he had not decided whether his In
quiry will extend to all of the lake
passenger traffic or whether it will be
corrflned to the Eastland. "For the
time being we will confine ourselves to
the case in hand," he said.
Day of Public Mourning;.
In response to a proclamation by Mayor
Thompson, Chicago observnd today as
day for public- mourning. The'-cltyf
hall la closed and the burial of almost
TOO of the excursionist recovered from
the river took place.
Facilities are lacking properly to han
dle the funerals and services over as
many as thirty bodies were held simul
taneously in a church. Because there !
are not enough steam and electric fun-i
eral trains and hearses the dead were i
removed to cemeteries in various sorts
of conveyances. In many cases motor
trucks which carried several coffins
were used. In the vicinity of the West
ern Electric plant, where most of the
victims were employed, the funeral pro
cessions blocked traffic.
Thirty of the dead were buried from
the church of St. Mary of Czestochwa. At
Mary Queen of Heaven church, services
for twenty-five took place.

ITALY IS GAINING GROUND
LONDON, July 28. The war has

Koine time, a contest of endurance,
Premier Asquith told the House of
Commons this afternoon while mak
ing a general review In moving the
adjournment of Parliament from to
morrow until September 14.
The premier remarked:
"We should lie ungrateful and Insen
sitive indeed. If we did not recognise at
this moment the Indescribable gallant
efforts being made by our Russian allies
to stem the tide of invasion and to re
tnin Inviolate the Integrity of their pos
sessions. Praise for Rnsalans.
"I do not think In th whole of mili
tary hlotory there has been a more mag
nificent example of discipline and en
durance, and of both Individual and col
lective initiative that has been shown by
the Russian army in the last seven
weeks.
"Our new ally. Italy, is with care
fully prepared movements steadily gain
ing ground, making their way towards
the objective, which we believe In a
very short time will be within their
reach."

ward manifestations of its life, than
had taken place here in thesa twelve,
months. -
Fleet Is Stronger.
The British fleet today waa far
stronger, the premier continued, than
at the beginning of the wax, "and to
its quiet and unobserved,' but utriquitoua
and all - powerful activity, la due the
fact that the seas are clear or substan
tially clear.
"For, after all he said, "this sub
marine menace, serious as It has ap
peared to be, is not going to Inflict
fatal or substantial Injury on British
trade. The seas are clear. We Jiave
our supply of food and raw materials,
upon which we and the rest of the
country depend, flowing In upon ua In
the same abundance and with the same
freedom, and I may say without much
exaggeration. Judging from serious
hazards and risks as in times of peace."

Legislature May
Repeal Initiated
Law, Says Court
HURON, a P., July 2S. -(Special.)
Judge Taylor has Just handed down a
decision to the effect that ths legislature
has power to amend or repeal an Initiated
law. Ist March a suit was Instituted by
several local citizens before Judge Taylor
in the circuit court of Beadle county as
an er rel proceeding entitled, "State of
South Dakota against Beadle County
Auditor." seeking to restrain tho auditor
fiom acting under the Norbeck primary
law adopted by the last legislature.
This case waa brought to test tha right
of the legislature to repeal a law enacted
by a direct vote of the people under tha
Initiative and referendum. The integrity
of the Richards primary law Is Involved
In the esse. This Isw was adopted by a
direct vote of the people at the November
election In 112. In 1114 the Coffey
primary law was submitted to the people
s a substitute, which. If adopted, would
have repealed the Richards law; but it
was defeated. Thus the people by their
vote have twice sustained tha Richards
primary law. In face of this record, tha
1915 legislature repealed the Richards'
law and enacted a substitute to force
upon the people a primary election law
containing the principle twice rejected at
the polls.
It is aliened that the effect of Judge
Taylor's decision. If sustained by tha
supreme court, is that tha legislature tan
repeal laws enacted by a vote of the
people, and the people can In turn,
through tha initiative, repeal aots of the
legislature.
