The lads were fofeed to join Gephart at the rear of the room. Cashier Fires As the bandits backed out of the bank Gephart ran to the cashier’s cage and grabbed a revolver and fired four times at them. He missed. The bandits drove the auto a mile north of town, abandoned it and fled in another machine. It was believed the four spent the night at a camp near Galveston. All were roughly dressed. According to Miss McDaniels, the vigilance organization calls for deputizing of leading citizens and bankers in each town. The sheriff is to train the men in sharpshooting. Federal guns and ammunition will be furnished them. An alarm will be flashed over the State immediately whenever a bank is robbed, so that effective pursuit and patrol of the roads can be taken up. Each one of the deputized citizens wifi have the authority to arrest suspects on vagrancy charges. State Toured The plan is modeled upon that now in effect in lowa, where bank robberies have been reduced. Acceptance of State bankers to the plan was obtained by J. V. Carpenter, president of the State Bankers’ Association, Miss McDaniels and Ross Saunders of lowa, who toured the State. Saunders, former Des Moines police chief, was the organizer of the vigilance committee in lowa, All of the eight groups of bankers in the State were visited, the tour ending a- South Bend Thursday.

“Say, I put in last summer a.t Port Au Prince, Haytl, where it got up to 120 in the shade, and it wasn’t as hot as Indianapolis downtown, Thursday afternoon.” This was the remark of Harold Jarvis, 19, of Hawthorne Lane and Maple Rd., first heat victim of the summer, who lies in the Methodist Hospital today recovering from a sunstroke. He fell on the sidewalk in front of the home of Albert Gall, 2865 N. Meridian St., while walking home from the downtown district where he had fruitlessly sought a Job. Jarvis was a sailor stationed at Port Au Prince. "Down there, they know how to get along with hot weather,” he v sald. “They go to work at 3^o a. m., and then quit at 8 a. m., amt 101 l around in the shade keeping quiet the test of the day.” “But say, this is not worrying me near as much as the fare I'm out of work. Can you till me where I can get a job as truck driver?” he asked. “I’m all worn out tramping around looking for one.” DR. ~BUTLER ANSWERED Hoosier College President Proteste "Vicious Attack.” In an open letter to Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, Indiana’s dry laws are defended by Dr. W. P. Dearing. president of Oakland College and also the Indiana State Teachers' Association. Dr. Butler recently referred, in a commencement address, to the Indiana Drys as “new barbarians.” “If you are correctly quoted,” wrote Dr. Dearing. "I wish to protest against this vicious attack on the State of Indiana, and I do It in the name of more than 20,000 teachers of Indiana who through their State Association have declared for the eighteenth amendment.” NEW BUS CONTENTION That the 1925 Legislature intended to exclude rail carriers from consideration in determining the necessity of bus lines, is the nature of a contention laid before the public service commission by Bamuel C.

four deaths as a result of the hot wave. Many persons over the State were prostrated. Continuance of hot weather, drought and record-breaking use of water by consumers may result ultimately in a serious water situation in Indianapolis, Frank C. Jordan, secretary of the Indianapolis Water Company, said. “We do not want to be alarmists,” Jordan said. “We are making every possible effort to meet the demands put upon us and to be ready for any emergency. But with the entire State drying up, there is no way of telling what will develop in the future.” Heavy Use Use of water has jumped tremendously in Indianapolis, Jordan said. Average daily pumpage is about 33,000,000 gallons. Arrangements have been made by the water company with John W. Walker, head of the street cleaning department, to start flushing streets after 8 p. m., when the people quit sprinkling and taking baths. At 7:15 each day the pumps and engines are going at highest speed of the entire twenty-four hours, but falls back to normal at 8 o'clock. Friday at 7:15 p. m., the water company was turning out water at a rate which, if continued twentyfour hours, would send out 112,000,000 gtu'ons. Consumption of water reached a new record, 52,883,000 galons Friday. The record that stood tintil the present dry spell was 44,189,000 gallons, set Jan. 13, 1918, the day of the Laycock Industrial building fire. Jordan urged sane use of water and no waste as a gua-'d against restrictive measures regurding sprinkling, etc. For the present, at least, he said no special restrictions will be course, always a possibility of local Continued Warm The weather bureau forecast reads “generally fair and continued warm tonight and Sunday.” There is. of course always a possibility of local showers. Short were reported Friday at Bloomington, Bedford and Noblesville. Faint showers of rain were reported in 6ome downtown districts at 10:40 a. m. today, while the northeast section of the city was visited by a slight spattering at 4:15 p. m Friday. Crops In Indiana, and adjoining States are rapidly being ruined aa a result of the continued drought, which accompanies the hot wave. Farmers, and truck gardeners, hard hit by the frost of two weeks ago. find their replantings in Vain, in many instances, as the ground is too dry for plants to grow. H. Huston Tall, assistant superintendent of parks, said that unless the hot weather ceases, and some rain falls soon shade trees in the city will be seriously affected.

Indianapolis’ first heat victim, Harold Jarvis, 25, of 3738 Hawthorne Lane, was reported improved today. Indianapolis still has some heat records left as target, however. The highest temperature recorded here was 106 on July 22, 1901. Highest June mark is 100 on June 3. 1895. Temperatures over Indiana Friday ranged from 96 to 103, Vincennes and Columbus leading with the latter mark. An area of high pressure over the South Atlantic States, which is responsible for the present heat wave, was reported not quite so pronounced this morning, Armington said. Two men died at South Bend when the mercury climbed to 103 degrees, the highest ever known for a June day in northwestern Indiana. Two others died at Anderson and a dozen factory workers were overcome. School children in many cities, including Indianapolis, were dismissed for the day. About twenty schools were dismissed here. The water supply at Bicknell Is already exhausted, it is said, and water is being pumped from a railroad well. Other cities will soon face a water famine, if relief from the drought does not cbme at once. As the sun beat down mercilessly Friday afternoon, pavements exploded in a dozen places. Sections of the Dunes Highway in La Porte county blew up with the force of a charge of dynamite. Five Indianapolis streets exploded, city officials reported. Many buildings at Winona Lake were threatened when, with the mercury registering 101 degrees, fifty acres of grass caught on fire. The blaze was subdued. At Noblesville Ind., one man was overcome by heat while placing lightning rods on a roof. A thermometer at this Bpot registered 110.
