Walter, was postponed today by the sudd* death of John Smith, tather of Judge Martin &uiih. preaiding jurist! Court w ill he resumed Thursday- The state is about half through tiie presentation of its case. —_o Bishop Chartrand Has Not Declined Appointment Rome, July 13. —(United Press.) — ■ Bishop ('hapjWiiid of indiauaoplis, recently named archbishop of Cinciu nati, Las not submitted a formal resignariou from the Cincinnati ap pointmcnl. it was stated at the VatiI can. The United Press was informed by an official source that Chartrand had hinted Io the pope that he preferred to remain in Indianapolis in view of strong pressure from clergy, laymen and religious organizations. Tin- pope and consistorial congregations have not yet decided on tiie 1 situation.Jt was said, but it was very likely that Chartrand's wish would be met. Bishop John 'l'. of Duluth is almost sure to be the substitute for Chartrand in the Cincinnati post. However, appointment is not yet official, it was stated. o Report Discovery Os The Cause Os Cancers London. July 13.—(United Press.) - The British Medical Research council is believed today to have taken an important step toward isolating of an organization which causes cancer. Alter years of investigation, the counI cil is scheduled to publish soon a | statement on its work. In anticipation of this report, a portion of the press prints without confirmation, headlines that the cause of cancer has been fouud but not thp 1 cure. The papers warn against the assumption that the disease can be universally prevented. The council apparently by use of ( strong microscopes has located un i organism present in all cancer cases but invisible tq ordinary glasses. ° CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. Otto Boerger extend thii. heartfelt thanks to the rela- ' tives and friends for their kindness and sympathy shown during their recent bereavement. ; —— —o Mr. and Mrs. W. Guy Brown have returned "from Lake Janies where I they enjoyed a weeks outing. u

MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report Os Local And Foreign Market* Opening Grain Review Chicago. July 13—Initial trading in grain futurva gave evidence of atrong undertime. Price changes were moder ate. There was a fractional slump its spot wheat on profit-taking. Distant futures made moderate advances. The drop in nearby wheat camo in the face of sharply higher Liverpool cables and improved European business. Complaints of rust spread in the spring belt following egtreme heat over the week end created activity on the part of shorts. Support in corn was small. A strong feeling prevailed, at Saturday's closing level. Oats held virtually steady. Provisions held firm and were without tenures.

Two thousad phones were out of order when the storm blew over and a small army of linemen was kept busy a'.l uigjit making repairs. Street car and interurban service was badly crippled, some interurbans arriving four and five hours late. Passenger trains from the north and west were also delayed. Every piece of fire fighting apparatus in Indianapolis was sent out as calls came in from houses struck by lightning. Firemen and police guarded high tension lines blown down by the wind. An Inch of rain fell in Indiana polls during the storm, flooding the streets and sewers. The fib! fury of the storm was felt in Hamilton county, where hundreds of acres of corn were blown down and shocks of wheat were torn and scattered. At Kokomo a giant tree b|ew over and crushed the home of G. 8. Beck. , Members of the Heck family were unhurt. An auto parked at the curb was crumpled by a falling tree a moment l after the driver left it. Farmers in Howard county were hard hit by the storm, according to early reports. - British Government To Prpbe Min«s Trouble London, July 13.—(United Press.) —The government today named a court of inquiry, headed by H. P. MacMillan, to investigate the deadlock be-, tween coal miners and owners. i This step became necessary after ' meditation efforts undertaken by First I Lord of the Admiralty Bridgeman had failed to settle differences between' | the two groups.

HEAVY DAMAGE CAUSED BY WIND ' AND LIGHTNING (Continued from P*B* On*) — ~ i blown down apd several falling trees , (truck the tents. In one tent, tne , renter-pole trashed down and struck ■ one girl, whose name could not be , learned. It Is however, that her , injuries were not of a serious nature. , One riding device was blown over. < Tree Strikes Tent. One of the largest trees that fell crashed down across a tent, tilled with people seeking shelter, but none of the occupants w' ore injured to any extent. Stock iu all of the tents was almost completely ruined. Telephone poles all along the cement road east of Decatur were blown down and several trees east of the Held where the carnival company was located were broken off at the base, some of them falling across the road. The loss to the Roscoe company cannot be estimated accurately, according to sonic of the members of that company, but it is said that it will amount to more than $1,500. One of the managers stated this morning that, in all probabilities, the tents and rides would be repaired and continue to show in this city the rest of this week in an effort to regain part of the loss suffered. Tree Falls On Automobile*. Several automobiles were damaged when falling trees struck them. A ' large tree In front of the John Niblick home ou Third street fell across several autos parked near there. One car. belonging to William Worthman was damaged considerably. Others only received slight damage. Many cars wer filled with water after the storm and refused U) run Most of the local garages received many calls after the storm to pul) cars out of the mud or to assist in draining the water from the engines. Electric Lines Damaged. Electric light lines throughout the city were crippled after the storm and M J Mylott, superintendent of the light plant, has been working continuously since that time with a crew of workmen repairing broken poles. ’ lines and transformers. It is thought that the lines will all be repaired bytonight. The lights have not been off of time and this service is due largely to the untiring i-fforln of Mr. Mylott who has not bad . a minute's rest since the storrt. , The telephone company also suffered come loss, but most of their damage was to rural lines. Several of the company's poles were broken off and the wires were damaged consid- ' urably at some points. Their service ' men have been working on the re--1 pairs and it is thought (bat the lines 1 will be back in shape today. 1 Crops J4ot Damaged Greatly. Roads were flooded for some time] aljer the ruin. Crops were literally - drowned and corn and oats were beaten down to the ground by Ibe rain and wind. It js not though) that 1 any great damage will be felt by the farmers, because the crops were not uprooted and they will, in most in stances, straighten up again. A frame barn on the Charles Limcnstall farm in Kirkland township was struck by lightning and completely destroyed during the severe storm. ] The barn contained new hay and some ; o'd hay and was burned to the ground, izrss is estimated between $2,500 and $3,500 dollars. It could not be learned whether or not the barn was insured. A “repeater” hit this vicinity yesterday afternoon. Heavy winds were the forerunners and about one o’clock yesterday afternoon rain again came in torrents. One heavy bolt of lightn- . ing registered during the storm, but it failed to hit near here. The wind did some damage and several more I trees weretoru down. The rain stop ' ped about three o'clock, and the sun came out again. Worst Electrical Storm In Years Many veteran citizens of this community say that the electrical storm Saturday night was by far the most severe that has ever Yisited this county. The large bolts--nf lightning lasted several seconds at a time and were accompanied by sharp thunders. 1 PROPERTY IN COUNTY VALUED AT $39,000,000 (Continued from Page One) year.
