Scores of fuses were blown from the repeated lightning. On Seventh and Madison, on Adams and Fifth and at Jefferson and Short Sixth, large limbs were torn from trees. During the showers, water completely flooded Madison street near Second. Many other streets were flooded when overloaded sewers were unable to carry away the water. The city light crew worked industriously the greater part of the night to restore disrupted service to consumers. The entire enlarged crew worked until near midnight and several worked into late morning hours. Martin J. Mylott, superintendent of the city light and power department, stated this morning that the two storms created some of the worst damage to lines and poles thus far this year. Although no official report could be made this morning, it is thought that the added rainfall of the two storms will have pushed the total precipitation over the existing record for the month and year.

HEAT WAVE IN STATE BROKEN Heavy Storm Brings End To Heat Wave; Damage Is Reported Indianapolis, Aug. 12. — (U.R) —| Cooler weather was forecast for I today after a heavy storm that ■ swept over the state last night I ended a day of muggy, sweltering heat. Last night’s storm was the second of severe intensity to strike, this week. Utility service was hampered and police headquarters here was swamped with calls for; ambulance service.

A large barn on the Frank Rec-: tor farm near here was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire.; Loss was estimated at $4,000. Two horses and two calves. 40 tons of hay and farm equipment perished in the blase. The municipal airport was dark for two minutes when power service was interrupted. An eastern airliner, bound for Chicago, returned from near Chicago because of storms and landed but a few minutes before directional beams and landing lights failed. Residents of Speedway City reported damage to trees and utility , lines. Plate glass windows were blown out of stores in several sec- i tions. At Muncie, a wind, rain and elec-, trical storm shattered plate glass windows, knocked over trees and put lights out in several sections: of town. Montgomery county was swept • by a severe storm which uprooted scores of trees, disrupted power service and did a small amount of property damage. In Crawfordsville streets were blocked by fallen trees and emergency crews were called out to clear the right of way. ! Heavy rains were general throughout the most of the country yesterday with the east and middle west receiving the brunt. Communication lines were disrupted in many sections and hail caused some crop damage. Between two and three inches of rain fell in some sections. Chicago Damaged Chicago, Aug. 12.- (U.PJ-A heavy w’ind and rain storm struck Chicago last night causing extensive property damage and endangering small craft on Lake Michigan. Coast guards spent a busy hour rescuing light boats from the waves. Eight persons were taken from the sloop NIRA, which sank. Several persons were injured as winds which reached nearly 60 miles an hour velocity blew down trees and power lines and damaged homes. A hangar at Ashburn airport was wrecked, damaging planes inside. Several sections of the city were in darkness as utility lines were affected. Debris hampered street transportation. BUILDING COLLAPSES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE debris which Hurley believed had clogged the storm sewer and kept , the waters from draining away. The hundreds of policemen and firemen digging in the debris were hindered by sections of flooring which they had to hack away. The bodies, as quickly as they were found, were carried to a filthy shack on Jersey street plastered with posters which read: "See the circus.” One body was that of a pretty young woman in a plain house dress. Her legs were bare. Police ha 4 Jo tia he* hands across her breast witn a piece of rope in order to get the body out. The bodies were later taken to the Seaview morgue. Three of the victims—Mrs. Badnick. Mary Hurley and Beatrice Malicki—were sisters. Mrs. Bud-

They were Louis Peterson, 41; James Mitchell, 72, and Mrs. Marie Coral, 26, whose husband was killed. They were taken to a hospital suffering severe injuries. More than 300 firemen and policemen searched the debris. As | they worked pathetic evidence of | poverty — battered bathtubs, old ■ and rotten mattresses, once dilapi- . dated and now splintered furniture i —came into view.

When the structure fell it broke clean from an adjacent dwelling which fronts on Jersey street, leaving four patches of wall covered with solid green and pink wall paper. The crashing building ripped the wall away from the structure on the other side, a warehouse, leaving the rooms exposed. ■ o * Extra 30 Days Given Welfare Departments Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 12—(UP) —An extra 30 days has been granted Indiana county welfare department* in which to confirm to reg-
