Bader, Former East St. Louis Mayor, Tells of Levee Board Election. POLICE OFFICIAL REBUKED Congressmen Resent Refusal to Tell Why Recent Changes in Department Were Made. Henry IF. Bader, former Mayor and former Postmaster of East St. Louis, testified today before the Congressional Commiitee, which is investigating the cause of the East St. Louis race riot of July 2. He told of the election of the Levee Board, headed by Locke Tar!ton, last fall, and said the election of the Tarlton ticket was accomplished by means of a “slush fund” raised by the Illinois of which Robert E. Gil- lespie is president. Ile said the Illinois State Bank the Levee Board’s funds, without paying interest on the Levee bonds, or on the Board’s current de- posits. He said the bank was in- terested in keeping Tarlton in office, so that it would continue to have the han@ling of the funds. He said Thomas Gillespie, brother of the bank’s president, was the paid at- torney for the Board. ‘“‘A year ago,” Bader testified, Levee Board needed $60,000 than it had available to complete its work, and it appealed to the U nited | | States Government and got the| money.

All the men who have not had this expe- rience are eager to try their hand and some of them have asked to be assigned to this work. It is the unanimous opinion that the men are learning more of the science of war by their short stay in the trenches and gunpits than is possible to gain in months of other instruction. While the infantry is learning how to handle itself in the trenches, the artillery, in addition to the actual ‘firing, is acquiring most valuable ex- periences in observation work and locating enemy batteries by § the sound method. The heavy guns on both sides are now engaged in a duel at long range, with the lighter pieces working at targets nearer the lines. German Patrol Ambushed. American infantrymen on a re- cent night ambushed a large Ger- man patrol in No Man’s Land, kilk ing or wounding a number of the enemy. * The American patrol, in there were some ITrenchmen, ar- ranged the ambuscade near the German lines on a shell-ruined farm. After lying in the mud nearly al! night the patience of the watchers was rewarded by the sight of a Ger- man patrol. The Germans were permitted to pass, when the Americans and Frenchmen on their flank opened a hot tire from shell craters and other shelters where they weer secreted The Germans were taken by sur- prise and bolted, carrying with them their men who had been hit. None of the men in ambush was hit by the bullets the Qermans later sent in from a distance. Patrol work on both sides is be- ‘coming more active, as is also the , artillery fire.
