S. President Cle/eland. anchored there, informed Glebe wireless offices here today. The torrent which placed Kobe’s Broadway, the Motomachi, under 10 feet of water, left “death, disaster and destruction" in its wake, the Dollar Line vessel's radioman said. The disaster, according to Globe, occurred at 9 a. m. July 5, Kobe time (4 p. in. PST July 4). “Thousands of Japanese are said to be drowned,” the brief messages from Kobe said. Chief Hadioman H. Estep told Globe operators here that “the city's main source of water is gone." Passengers aboard the vessel

Then if she has not forgotten her guide, T’Fan, I will see her picture in memory.” “But if I do forget?” “Still the bright waters will recall her smile—and her bright eyes." He was faking even now—speaking Oriental compliments, while his Yankee eyes smiled into hers—but she liked it just the same. “Do you suppose you would talk that way—if you were a white man?” “Only much bolder, Heaven-Born. Now I remember my dark skin.” “Where did you learn to speak so well, T’Fan?” “I went to a mission school—” “You didn’t learn that talk from a missionary. What is your real name, where do you live, and why did you come with us on this trip?” He paused only an instant. His face remained as trustful and innocent of guile as her own Esther's, when he stood pat on a pair of deuces at poker with his cronies. “My other names are secret, as is the custom with us Orientals,” he explained. “If I told them, it would give leeway to witches and demons to work spells against me—or so we believe. One witch has worked a spell already on the name of T’Fan." Virginia forced down a smile. “What does that name mean, in your language ?” “It is the Laotian word for a small and timid deer, prey of the leopards.” • “Fits you exactly.” Virginia’s lips never twitched. “Now go on with my questions.” “I live beyond the Mekong.” This was perfectly true, but it meant what “on the other side of nowhere” might mean in America. “I came on this trip partly to be near you.” Virginia sat very still. “But you had never seen me before.” “Yes, Heaven-Born. In many dreams. Also I saw you when you went into the hotel at Vinh.” “I think I must have seen you, too." She spoke in a rush of breath. “You remember—l told you when we first met I thought your face was familiar.” "I will never forget, one word or look, even when Heaven Born goes back to her own kind, with her lover, and I camp in the jungle alone.” In spite of his paint and wig, he was not acting now. She saw the truth flare up in his dark eyes. But in spite of it, in spite of the school-girl sky-larking of her heart, she went on with the trial “You had some special reason for wanting to come with us. What was it?” “The master pays a good wage—” “The truth, T’Fan, if you please.” He was looking straight into her eyes. “Yes, there was another reason. But I cannot tell it now. I can only ask Heaven-Born to trust her friend.” “Will you tell me one thing, on your honor as a gentleman? Did you come as my father’s friend too —or as his enemy?” “At first, not knowing the lay of the land, I was neither. Perhaps I thought of him as an antagonist. Now I would help him as I would i you.” “You’ve shown that. What about Vicomte Chambon ?” “I will serve Chambon w’ell, if he’ll let me. More I cannot say.” Her hand crept to* her heart, as though warning it to be still. Slow--1». staunchly aha steqled herselt

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1938.

TWO HURT IN STRIKE RIOT Striking CIO Members In lowa Halt Baek To Work Movement Newton, la., July 6 — (U.R) — Striking C. I. O. members repulsed a "back-to-work" movement at the closed Maytag washing machine plant today two blocks from company gates. Officials of the plant which was closed May 9 because of a wage controversy, said they would make no further attempt to resume operations until they had received instructions from Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel. Kraschel advised at the close of I a seven-hour conference between I company, union and "back-to-work" I representatives last night that the ) plant be reopened pending settlement of the dispute. Jerry Geise, a member of the “back-to-work” movement, was i slugged in the face and another, ; E. E. Alger, had his shirt torn off l in today's clash. The strikers, members of the . United Electrical, Radio and Ma- ! who were to have disembarked at 1 Kobe were marooned aboard the steamer. The ship is commanded 1 by Captain Otto Kohlmeister. Estep, accompanied by the seci oud radioman. Carl Lowe, toured ‘ the stricken area yesterday, he rei ported, and found the main street I “a torrent of raging water.” “We could only cioss (the Moto--1 inachi) at certain places where ' wires were strung. Street currents ' were very strong. The water was ‘ about waist high," Estep reported. "Thousands of homes have been I destroyed and all transportation is stopped," Estep said.

against the summer magic of the time and place. She was a,coolheaded, modern, Yankee girl. She was still more than half in love with Andre, half-pledged to a fitting and brilliant marriage. She must not sit here and dream, ravished by tha scent of tropic flowers, caressed by warm winds, hypnotized by her owl and her companion’s images embracing in the pool. She must forget that glimmer of white she had seen through the trees. Her impetuous heart must fee locked up. It had cheated her before, and not long ago. She remembered with flushing cheeks how it had played fast-and-loose with her when she had first met the hotel thief in Bangkok, Ned Holden. . . . As this thought stole through her mind, her gaze was resting on her companion’s face. Suddenly her eyes lost their dreamy luster—fixed — widened — grew wildly bright. The color raced from her cheeks and she sprang to her feet with a cry. “You —you —" “What is it?” “You know.” Her head drooped and her hands dropped at her side. “You are the man I found in my room. You are Ned Holden.” Yes, he was Ned Holden. Virginia had found him out. Not a Laotian chief, not even a cold-hearted international spy, but a plain man of American blood who yearned to his own kind, who knew hope and fear, who in his secret soul dreaded more the reproach in her eyes than the now-apparent failure of his quest. "Do you deny it?” He heard her gasp, at last. “No, but I had forgotten it, for the moment. I’m Ned Holden, of course.” “What are you doing here? It couldn’t be—for the same purpose—that you came to my room?” “Practically the same. Not to steal, as I let you think, but something almost as distasteful. I came here to spy—on you and your party.” “What do you mean? I don’t understand.” “The Emerald Buddha was stolen from its temple in Bangkok the night before we met. I searched your rooms and later came with you on this trip, with the hope of getting it back. I am working for the King of Siam.” There fell a long silence. Desperately he watched her eyes. “You suspect my father? ’ she murmured at last. “I did at first, yes. It’s part of our business, always to be suspecting people.” The grim words slipped out unawares. “He is a famous collector ... I suppose it seemed to fit in . . But you don't suspect him now?” “No> I think he is being imposed upon. It’s hard to imagine—that any one could impose on so shrewd a person as Daniel Griffin—yet I believe it.” “And—and Vicomte Chambon?” “I have reasons to believe that Vicomte Chambon came to Laos to receive the stolen Buddha—perhaps he has it already,” he answered steadfastly. “If you tell him I’m on his trail, his plot will probably succeed. If you stand by me, I may save the Buddha and Chambon too.” She seemed to draw away. “But the Buddha, a carved figure in stone, comes first with you.” “It must, Miss Griffin. I’ve got to get it back in a certain time, its sacred diamond intact, to prevent revolution and bloodshed in Siam. That’s my job, whether I like it or not. And remember—it was stolen.” (To be continued.) CopyrUht by Edison MtrshalL DUUibiUed by Fuiuim fradicata lac.

chine Workers of America union,‘ set up a double picket line of 75 men each this morning when word was circulated that an attempt would be made to reopen the plant. Other union men cruised about the streets. It was this latter group which 1 met approximately 100 members of the back-to-work movement as they marched toward the plant. The front lines of each group were almost touching when they halted. The men shouted a few threats at one another, then dispersed. “It looked like It was going to be a free-for-all and would have been if the men had not kept their heads,” one of the bystanders said. ROOF JOISTS PUT IN PLACE Preliminary Step To Covering New Junior-Sen-ior High School The root joiste on the new Decatur junior-senior high school building have been set In place, as a preliminary step in covering the quar-ter-million dollar building. W. A. Rhodehamel, PWA engineer, stated today that metal decking for the roof is expected to arrive by the latter part of this week. Another evidence of rapid progress is disclosed on the first floor, where interior lathing work has been started by a crew of workmen. Meanwhile, the work of bricklaying continues at a fast pace, with the front wall of the new structure level with the roof line. Flooring in the huge boiler rooms of the new school was poured Tuesday. The Installation of the whits stone figures on the front of the: building has also been started. All indications point toward an early occupancy of the building next fall, Mr. Rhodehamel stated, with only the possibility of inclement weather delaying the completion of the project. — o UNITED FRONT (CONTINUED FROM PAGET ONE) - I atorial candidates withdrew when it became known that Townsend once more is politically arm in arm with Van Nuys. Sam Jackson, Fort Wayne lawyer who was the original state house choice over a year ago but who was sidetracked due to organized labor's opposition, late yesterday issue da statement formally with- , drawing his candidacy, and announcing his support of Van Nuys and party harmony. Lieut.-Gov. Henry F. Schricker, the statehouse choice until last week, said he felt a “deep obligation" to finish his present term. Since he is known to have been reluctant to make the senate race, this was tantamount to a withdrawal. Alex Gordon, the third announc- 1 ed candidate, declined to comment. But since he is a labor leader and member of the state unemployment compensation board, it is unlikely that he will make a serious convention bid. He has made no campaign for delegates. But facing the harmony conferees are such questions as: 1. How to reconcile Van Nuys’ anti-new deal votes with a liberal pro-Roosevelt 1938 platform. 2. Will Van Nuys pledge himself to “progressive" votes for the new deal in return for renomination from pro-Roosevelt Governor Townsend's delegates. 3. Will Van Nuys keep step with the Democratic organization on patron- -je and campaign policies which he has failed to do almost since the date of his election in 1932. 4. Can Indiana's Democratic leaders guarantee an iron-clad organization behind former Gov. Paul V. McNutt in his 1940 presidential campaign without any further internal squabbles. 5. Can Van Nuys' bitter attacks against the Townsend organization be successfully smoothed over so that the senator will not be embarassed during the campaign by any recent declarations during his differences with Townsend. o DELAYS ACTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ers from issuing bonds, have promised to take some action before the August meeting. As this is an injunction suit, bond must be posted before a temporary restraining order can be granted. It is unlikely that, a hearing can ■be held until the summer vacation of the Adams circuit court is coueluded in September. This case is before Judge Huber M. DeVoss. It is prclbable that if bond is posted and the case is heard in the circuit court .it will be carried to the supreme court to test the constitutionality of the law passed by the last legislature, banning this type of ditch actions. Judge Klster has already ruled the act of the legislature unconstitutional. Trade In A Good Town — Decatur

FIELD AGENT TO BE HERE Gross Income Tax Agent To Be In Decatur For Three Days Grover Baumgartner, field agent of the Indiana gross income tax division will be in Decatur, all day July 7, 8 and 15 to assist taxpayers in filing second 1938 quarterly gross income tax-, returns, it was announced today by Dee Fryback. auto license branch manager. Returns covering income in the second quarter of 1938 are due July 1 to July 15. The field agent will be stationed at the license bureau, and it was urged that persons who have unusual problems in connection with their tax returns obtain his assistance. Service of regular employees is available daily at the license branch throughout the year. Mr. Fryback pointed out that all persons whose tax for the quarter exceeds $lO are required by the law to file returns and pay the tax. Many taxpayers, however, have found it a sound policy to take advantage of the opportunity of paying quarterly even though the amount due for the quarter is less than $lO, thus avoiding payment of the full amount of tax at the end of the year when the seasonal Christmas and New Year’s demands on the pocketbook occur. All taxpayers are granted an exemption of $250 per quarter. Retail merchants, however, are granted an exemption of $7.50 per quaiter tpon receipts from selling at retail. This exemption is not in addition to the regular exemption. Penalties for failure to file returns when due range from 10 per cent to 50 per cent of the tax due, with interest charges at the rate of 1 per cent per month; the minimum penalty is $2.00. o ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) two bills which provided: 1. Six 110,000 a year administrative assistants for the White House. 2. Creation of cabinet-rank welfare department. 3. Authorization for a period of two years for the re-grouping, reorganization and coordination of gvernment agencies. Fewer than 100 votes were cast against these bouse bills. But the senate refused to consider them

and, instead, enacted an omnibus 1 bill including all of the foregoing und, additionally, for: 1. Making the planning national resources committee permanent. 2.. Abolition of the general accounting office and the Independent comptroller general's office, transferring their functions to the budget bureau which is controlled by the White House; establishment of an auditor general to be selectedb by congress and to report to congress on executive department ! 'expenditures after the money has been spent. 3. Substitution of a civil service commissioner for the civil service commission. As expanded by the senate the bill still fell far short of Mr. Roosevelt’s original proposals. Specifically exempted from reorganization or other interference by the senate bill were such agencies as: board of tax appeals, federal reserve system, army engineers corps and the interstate commerce, federal trade, securities exchange, communications, power, coal, maritime and Mississippi river commissions. The courts also were exempted. i 0 MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bahner, Mr. i and Mrs. Glen Stucky and Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Smith of Fort Wayne spent the weekend at Hamilton Lake.
