STUDENT NURSE! FOUND DEAD IN I HOSPITAL ROOM' 19-Year-Old Nurse Slain And Ravished In Chicago Hospital | Chicago. Aug 21 <U.R>—A 19-, year old student nurse was ravish-1 ed and slain in the Chicago hospital today 13th victim of sexi maniac* in two years. Police assigned extra squads to hunt for a “long armed" negro' seen near the hospital. ‘ The victim was Miss Anna 1 Kuchta, red haired member of a I south side Russian immigrant family. She had been a student nurse nine months. The crime was discovered only ' a moment after it happened by; Miss Florence Palmowski, IS. i Miss Kuchtas roommate. Missj Palmowski went to awaken the I other girl after Miss Kuchta's ■ two-hour rest period As she op-1 i ened the door she spied the nudet I body of the nurse near the win- j dow A dark man in a white shirt. > dark trousers and cap had one foot out the window He cluttered quickly down the fire escape whileMiss Palmowski's screams awaitI ened the hospital. Miss Kuchta's head had been! battered with a brick which was . found outside the window. Her' I body was bruised and scratched i Police said she had been assault- | ed The attack occurred like many • ■in recent months. The crimiual | bad mounted r fire escape (in ’ other cases It was a nearby build 1 tug) and entered the room through a loose screen. On Aug 7 Miss! Palmowski had screamed ami rout-! ed a negro from the same fire I | escape used today. Three days later a nurse had I seen a negro remove a screen from the window of her room and ; had frightened him away by' screaming. A police squad was posted at j the hospital but withdrawn after' lour days of fruitless vigil. . Earlier this year a negro had slashed Miss Marcella Miles, 26, night superintendent of nurse*, with a razor blade when she refused to give him narcotic* That man was sentenced to a year in i jailDescriptions of the suspect in today's crime indicated he might have been a drug addict. Ton. De Drugune and Karl Wilhelm, janitors of nearby buildings, said they > saw the long-armed negro late I . last night pacing near the hospital. The man appeared “fidgety and. nervous" they said ! De Drugane gave the best description of the suspect, whom he ; had chased away. He said he was a light-colored negro with excep-1 tionally long arms and a nervous . manner. He wore dark trouser*, and a white shirt. His cap was soiled. 1 Police Captain John Prendergast, chief of the uniformed forces. _ took charge of the investigation ( i and announced: "Every policeman in the city of | Chicago is on this case and in-. I structed to look for this man ' Special squads from the Hyde I Park station and central head-; quarters are cruising the area and ■ investigating all possible sub-I pects." (There are 6.000 on the] Chicago force.) I , chief of Detectives John J. Sul-; livan said ha had assigned 40, detectives especially to this case, i fie said the evidence was similar | to that in previous attack cases | ; and that there was no good, i description of the killer available, j Both officers expressed determ-1 inatkm to end the series of attacks. It was indicated that, hotels and hospitals would be. urged to place heavier screens at 'their windows where access isj possible from fire escapes and' nearby buildings. Downtown hotels had begun such measures already after Miss Virginia Austin. 25. was assaulted last Sunday night by a man who leaped into her hotel window from a low ! building. , . , . Police records disclosed at least ! a dozen similar attacks In the last two years. Three other victims were killed. — — Rev.

FREE LIME AT SUGAR COMPANY Central Sugar Company Makes Free Lime Available To Farms Officials of the Central Sugar ' Company informed County Agetit L E. Archbold today that they will have a drag line in their sludge pood beginning Tuesday morning. 1 August 24. and will load this lime : free for farmers of Adams and I adjoining counties. This is a i great boon to agriculture of this I district as a great deal of the land I is in need of lime for the produoi tion of high powered legumes, - such as alfalfa. Samples of this sludge have been analyzed by Purdue University and they find that a yard of this nfsferfat wiTT have rhw neutralizing value of a ton of fine ground lime stone. In addition, the material contains seven-tenths of one per Cent of phosphate. At j present prices this phosphate is worth approximately 750 a yard The assessors’ figures for 1930 show' that Adams county had slightly more than 1.000 acres of alfalfa. The figures for 1936. just made available, show that there is , now slightly more than 8.000 acres |in alfalfa. This is a tremendous i ; gain in alfalfa acreage aud should 1 contribute much to Increasing succeeding crops and maintaining increase in livestock on farms. , If soil needs lime, the lime I should be applied from six months ! to a year prior to seeding of alfalfa. s.t that the lime will have time •to correct soil acidity. With ! threshing practically out of the, way and the fields firm enough to' f hold up heavy trucks, makes this tan ideal time of year to lime. Un-1 1 doubtedly many farmers will take , advantage of this opportunity of' free liming and free loading and I | insure themselves of success with i alfalfa seedings in the coming < spriug. Special Program At U. B. Church Sunday, The Juniors of the United . Brethren Sunday school will give j , a special program Sunday eve- 1 | ning at six o'clock in the Junior ' room. Parents and friends of the ■ children are especially invited. | Norma Baker will be the leader.

75TH CONGRESS WILL ADJOURN THIS EVENING Stormy Session Os Congress To F2nd Sometime Today Washington, Aug. 21 —(U.R)-The first session of the 75th congress will adjourn today leaving behind Ihe wreckage of major new deal legislation but under threat of a i possible special session in Novem- ! her to pick up the pieces. Politically bruised and defeated on issues considered vital to his plans, Mr. Roosevelt is expected tc go to the people in one or more speeches or fireside chats. His Roanoke Island speech this week was judged here to be the keynote of Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign I against conservatives in and out of his party. Some Democrats talked party harmony but there was evidence 'of unrest snfl’iciently deep-seated ■ to suggest that it may extend into the 1938 congressional elections. Several Democrats who opposed , Mr. Roosevelt s supreme court reI organization bill believe they mav suffer political reprisals next year. Postmaster General James A. Far- | ley has denied reprisals were con- ; templated. Sen. Joseph F. Guffey, D„ Pa., tootled a discord in the harmony 1 chorus last night in a nationally broadcast speech in which he assailed Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, { D.. Mont., Sen. Joseph C. O’Mahoney, D.. Wyo., and Sen. sdward R. Burke, D., Neb., for opposing 1 Mr. Roosevelt's supreme court proposals. He uttered blistering criticism of senate jndtchrrj’ commfttee Democrats who signed the report which denounced Mr. Roosevelt’s program. “I venture to say," Guffey said over the Columbia broadcasting I system, “that some senators who heaped this withering fire upon the president will be talking a different language the next time they go before the voters. They ; will then discover in Mr. Roosevelt a host of political virtues which i they were unable to see at this ! particular time. Political ingratitude is of such a character that it carries with it its own punishment. both swife and sure.” As congress adjourns the national finances are in somewhat less I satisfactory position than on this date one year ago. The comparative figures are: 1937 National debt: $36,951,871,573; expenditures: $1,039,786,548; deficit: $312,120,604. 1936 National debt: $33,407,485,608; expenditures: $784,339,210; deficit: $243,052,948. The excess of expenditures may be attributed in some degree to congress which ignored Mr. Roosevelt on several bills which raised (CONTINUED'ON PAGE THREE) o LOCAL PASTOR IS RETURNED Rev.

I —~ Hand To Hand Fighting In Hongkew Taking Terrible Toll; Open Probe Into Sailor’s Death. DAMAGE IMMENSE (Copyright 1937 by United Press) Shanghai, Aug. 21—(UP)—Chinese troops and Japanese sailors fought hand to hand with baye-net trench knife and fist in the streets of Hongkew tonight by the light of fires that licked greedily through the area, block by block. AU through the terrible day, and into the terrible night, blisteied at Ernes by the flames amid which they fought, the combatants strove for supremacy. The Chinese fought to throw the Japanese into the Whangpoo river or, splitting them, send one section down river, tihe other retreating into the International settlement proper. As the great fires roared through Hongkew, the Japanese part of the Internati *ia.l settlement, British buefness men in a preliminary estij, ai dthey believed the damage already totalled $500,000,000 Shanghai ($150,000,000 American). There was none to tight the flames and they were left perforce to burn themselves out or to eat their way onward. Japanese admitted at least 100 killed and 120 wounded in a fight that was getting more bitter with each hour. Chinese made no estimate ot casusalies. To estimate the total casualties in fighting all around the international settlement was impossible. By night the Chinese had thrust I a dangerous salient into the Hong- : kew section, and it was the job of - the Japanese, to eliminate it. ; Since midnight last night the - Chinese had been blasting their 1 way into Hongkew. As the flower of the Chinese army smashed its way into the Jananese I lines from tihe land side, a suicide I squad of 20 Chinese volunteers pol--1 ed their way across the Whangpoo 1 in a Sampan, effected a landing, 1 mounted a machine gun and began 1 pouring a deadly fire into the Japanese from the d«cks. Early tonight, a second daring party of Chinese volunteers, all ' sharpshooters, crossed > n a small boat and landed at the Britih owned Shanghai water works. Japanese stormed the building, using hand grenades, and wiped them out. A few blocks away fram the biggest battel of the war, A U. S. navy board of inquiry met aboard the bruiser Augusta to investigate the killing of one American seaman and the wounding of 17 by an anti-air. craft she’l that crashed into the well deck of the cruiser yesterday. All around the cruiser, and round the British, French and other foreign warehips Ln the river, dropped a rain of shell fragments as Japanese anti-aircraft guns roared out ' at the Chinese planes which, squadron after squadron, raced across ! the Hongkew area and dropped their bombs on the Japanese lines. The danger of a new “Augusta incident” was grave. The while of Shanghai around the international settlement Into which 1,000,000 Chinese refugees were I crowded with the foreigners, had | beocme an inferno of hate. Airplane bombs, artillery shells, anti-aircraft shells buret continual ally into the Japanese lines on the Hongkew side and the Chinese lines in Psotung. The Japanese 'position at the moment was one of urgent danger, it r was plain. ) All night long, at point after point 3 at the Northern Edge of the Hong- ■ kew area, Chinese roops had smashed into the Japanese lines at the ■ bay..net point. f Tanks and armored cars were t brought into play for the first time s on the Chinese side here, and they nosed their way into the Japanese • section to be repelled and to smash (.CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) O TUMPERATURE READINGS 1 DEMOCRAT THERMOMETER > 8:00 a. m _..78 , 0:00 a. m ......82 , Noon 72 — WEATHER l - Cloudy and cooler, thunderl showers central and south this afternoon or tonight; Sunday j becoming generally fair; cooler southeast.
