LEAGUE COUNCIL MEETS PREMIER MUSSOLINI CHALLENGE

LARGE CROWDS STILL FLOCKING TO STATE FAIR Visitors Brave Mud and Rain to View Exhibits and Shows, Doubtful eyes cast toward the sky, Mr. and Mrs. Indiana came to the State Fair today. Although heavy clouds and black, oozy mud greeted the early crowds, as the day progressed the clouds lightened and officials of the Stdtfe'boil'd of agriculture began to hope they would have a rainless day. .Rain Monday and Tuesday, the first two days of the fair, cost the fair about $20,000, Lannes McPlietridge, in charge of advertising, estimated.Even early this morning, when' rain once more seemed to be on the program. the crowds refused to be depressed. They were helped greatly by concession standholders who let down the awnings before their stands and made the streets ring with their cheery cries. Ballyhoo men, too, called to the crowds to come in out of the mud and dampness and see the shows. With a good will the crowd responded. ' A check-up today showed an attendnce 16,000 Tuesday. This did not in elude several thousand children, under 12, and old soldiers, who were ad Jnitted free. ' Although the mark was only about lhalf that for the opening day, Mon'day. It out-reached the jecord of 12,363 for the second day last year. The low attendance Tuesday was blamed on rain, starting about noon and becoming a hard downpour in a short time. The Coliseum, large and dry, the Women's building and the Automobile !Show were favorite gathering places. iFor those who were not greatly interested in horse and cattle judging In the Coliseum, there were band concerts, heard above the lowing of the Jherds. The more gentle sound of hundreds iof babies crooning and sometimes cry •ing. pervaded the women's building. The tots were waiting to be examined 'irt the Better Babies' Contest. ■ r i hat was on the second floor. J Below, a style show in the morning ,and afternoon, and concerts three !times a day, were the chief attractions. • Tuesday’s rain stopped the races. But officials were hoping, as the fa.r opened today, that the clouds would lift enough to permit racing this afternoon.

The heat of the burning city became all but unbearable. Hundreds, crazed by terror, leaped into the Suruidi Kiver. Others died in their homes or their bodies strewing the streets, were thrown back into the flames. Burial was impossible. Buddist and Shinto priests, clad in their heavily hrocaded or white and purple robes, chanted prayers for the dead as they were consigned to the flames or piled in the streets. Three of Royalty Killed From Kamakura came word of Prince Matsukata being badly crushed when his house collapsed. At least three members of the royal family were killed or injured. And in addition to royalty, Japan’s merchant princes and others of means who escaped death or injury, became helpless refugees along with the humblest of the poor, in the face of the disaster. The entire working forces of many industries were wiped out. Numerous incidents are reported of mills and buildings—such as the government printing office —collapsing and crushing practically all of the occupants to death.

Airplanes in Service Roads connecting Tokio with outlying points w'ere torn up. Trees were felled. Then airplanes were pressed into service to fly over the stricken city.

At Yokohama the scenes of Tokid were duplicated. The destruction there, however, was accentuated by an even more devastating Are. The great wharves of the Japanese port were destroyed. Shipping in the harbor took fire. The quake was followed by tidal waves. Ships which might have es raped were hurled back upon the shore, as the giant seas arose and flooded miles of the coast line. Even after escaping from the burning capltol, refugees were not safe. Ten thousand of them took refuge in a great military compound south cf Tokio. The compound, no longer In use by the army, was surrounded by deep water and access to it was by means of wooden bridges. Refugee* Burn Fires that had no connection with conflagration they had left behind broke out, consumed the bridges, destroyed the compound and burned to death practically the entire ten thousand refugees who had no chance to escape. • From the first foreign stragglers to reach the outside world came news of the fate of Americans and Europeans trapped in the doomed cities of Tokio and Yokohama.
