Men who have Served their minimum terms were before the board today. It was a similar hearing, attended by a member of the Wibkersham oommlttee, which drew the criticism of the Indiana board. Hence speculation was keen as to whether the alleged harranguing of , petitioners, which drew the wrathi tul comment of the Wickersham

Bagley 1 was arrested after police had been informed that Bagley had been ex-' posing hinisrlf in the front window . 1 of his home. |' Mr. Bagley was born in Bern, I 1 Switzerland, and move to Adams 1 county 45 years ago. For several 1 years he was employed at the Gil- j' Horn Lumber company, and was an , expert architect. He drew plans i for most of the buildings in Berne, I and a number of school buildings ■ .over the county. He was named | town architect of Berne for several ' years, and also prepared one of the ' Adams county maps. j i He moved to Fort Wayne several I years ago, and 14s wife remained' jin r.erne. Surviving are the wife, Mrs. Hertha Bagley of Berne, and six children, Mrs. Frank Wagoner of 1 , Huntington; Mrs. Martha Beavers land Victor Bagley of Fort Wayne; Harmon Bagley of Indianapolis; 1 Nora Bagley of-Berne, and Glennys Bagley of Huntington. Tlie body was removed to the Getz and home in Fort Wayne. CHINA MENACED BY BAD FLOOD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) death tolls. Panic spread through I the cities. The river continued to rise. Hankow was entirely under waiter, which was several feet deep ' along the river front. i Martial law prevailed. Soldiers

got about as best they could andl sought to prevent looting. The entire Wuhan area—which in ! eludes the thriving industrial and trading centers of Wuchang. Hankow and Hanyang—is inundated. The river had swollen until the district looked like an inland sea tuniultuously running a swift tide. Hankow and its sister cities are 600 miles inland from the Pacific .coast. The three citits form the Chicago of China.” Most of the commerce of the great (arming I hinterland passes through these ' cities, wealthy in prosperous times. I Their combined population is around 1,500,000. The s'wift stream swept through ' broken dykes in torrents. It was : feared the few remaining dykes ' would break at any tijne, further imperiling the lives of the people. Thousands were homeless and suffering. Crops were ruined, and I the Yangtze valley was desolated in l mid-summer, too late to plant new j crops. Famine is feared. Farmers were using fishermen's 1 “sampans" or small boats, instrad I of vehicles to make their way about. For miles in all directions the l surging brown water stretched, i dotted here and there where roofs protrud'd above the flood. Sailors from foreign gunboats in the river at Hankow landed to give the Chinese authorities assistance. Volunteers struggled desperately ' to avert further disaster. A food; shortage was feared as communi-1 cations were disrupted. Buildings in the Japanese concession, at the lower end of the | bund in Hankow were in danger of collapse, undermined by the current. The Yangtze’s level at Hankow was higher than it ever has been in the history of the weather bureau. It ordinarily is deep enough for ocean-going ships Ko drop anchor off Wuhan, even in midsummer, when the river often is low, lacking I rains. Incessant rainfall in the upper | Yangtze valley for the past fort- ■ night was one reason for the flood, j There was no indication when the , river would subside. The foreign concession areas in ' Hankow were flooded, and Amer- , ican property. Including the U. S. I consulate-general on the Bund, was I endangered. o Wait for Peaches!

After the conference, Judge Wilkerson ascended the bench and read his written statement. “The grand jury may step forward,” he said next. Not a word had been spoken in the surprised courtroom, except by Judge Wilkerson. The grand jurors then were charged to investigate the Capone liquor conspiracy. "Gentlemen,” said Judge Wilkerson, talking to the grand jury, “there was returned in this court an indictment, No. 23256, United States versus Al Capone et al (the other defendants number 68) in June of this year. “The defendants are charged in this indictment with conspiracy to violate a certain statute. Following a rule inclusive of this kind of case, certain overt acts were charged, among them conspiracy to violate the prohibition law in the manufacture of intoxicating liquor. "I charge you to look into this and see whether or not there were subsequent offenses.” Judge Wilkerson then left the
