STORM IN STATE KILLS THREE AND DAMAGES CROPS Street Car and Phone Service Interrupted—Heat Wave Ends. Toll of three dead, one seripusly heavy crop and property damage was left today in the path of a severe wind and electric storm which swept Indianapolis and Indiana late Friday. T.he wind farm buildings and unroofed structures in several sections. Interurban and telephone service was disrupted. Thirty street cars were temporarily put out of service here as result of the lightning, James P. Tretton, Indianapolis Street Railway superintendent, said. Twenty-five long distance toll circuits were reported out Friday night and fifteen remained out of service today, Indiana Bell Telephone offl cials said. Phone Trouble 450 cases of phone trouble in Indianapolis, the majority resulting from a high votlage light wire falling on a cable at Fifty-Ninth St and College Ave. Only 300 cases Were unrepaired early this morning. Indianapolis Bight and Heat Company and Merchants Heat and Light Company officials said damage was slight to their properties. Corn is flat all over the country, and oats and wheat were washed by the heavy rain, W. H. Settle, Indiana Farm Bureau Federation president, said. “Some of the corn will ‘eblow-up’ pretty well,” he said. c. Henry, county agriculture agent, said Marion County farmers were "fairly fortunnate,” although considerable damage was done. Asa Holloway, ■ 45, farmer, living near Winchester, was killed by lightning while standing in the doorway of his barn. William Wheeler, 40, manager of a gas plant at Greenfield, was stunned by a bolt at his home and touching a light switch received a shock which killed him. Douglas Carpenter, 55, druggist at Anderson, was electrocuted by touching a malted milk mixer as he stood on a section of floor soaked by water. Recovery Doubtful Recovery of Glenmar Hollars, 18, at Bloomfield was doubtful. He drove his team of mules under a tree for shelter and one of the mules was struck by lightning. He was found unconscious beneath the body of the dead mule. Temperature was sent tumbling by the storm, ending the heat wave which held sway over Indiana since early in the week. The mercury here dropped from 30 at 3 p. m. to

LOW PA VINO BIDS TO SA VE $600,000 If Price Cutting ‘War’ Continues That Will Be Approximate Benefit to Property Owners.

Indianapolis property owners will save more than $600,000, in street paving ®osts if the present pricecutting paving “war’ continues this year, it appeared today. Conservative paving experts estimate that asphalt contractors have reduced their bids from last year's average of $3.50 a square yard to $2.70 this year, a price in a number of instances lower than that submitted by dealers in concrete paving. On an estimated total of 800,000 square yards of paving laid last year, the saving for this year because of lower prices would be $640,000. Efforts of the "big fish” ' among

the asphalt contractors and the competition of concrete men, by a recent board of works order naming concrete in specifications, are ascribed as causes for the bear market in asphalt. Asphalt contractors. who were accustomed to a general understanding of manners of procedure in obtaining paving contracts in former years, found themselves uncertain as to the modus operand! under the present board of works, it said. The stand of the board for a square deal for concrete as a materia] awakened the asphalt rfien to a realization that steps must be taken to save their industry, accortfing to the paving authorities.

HALL HOUSEHOLD GRILLED AGAIN Widow Denies She Knew of Husband’s Affair. B'i L nltcd Prcn*' / NEJjV BRUNSWICK, N. J., Aug. 7.—The steadfast denial of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall that she knew of the love affair between her husband and Mrs. Eleanor Mills was the center of the prosecution's at tack in the renewed investigation of the Hall-Mills murder today. Alexander Simpson, special prosecutor, planned to continue question ing members of the slain clergyman's household. Simpson .announced that questioning of Barbara Tough, maid in the Hall home at the time of the murder, had disclosed Ia telephone conversation which the maid i alleged Mrs. Hall held several hours before the bodies were -found. She quoted Mrs. Hall as saying over the telephone to someone who had called her: "I know ail about it. Please don't tell me anything over the phone.” Simpson said that question of servants and other* close to Mrs. Hall showed that the clergyman's clandestine affair was common knowledge and its details were fa miliar to all concerned, making it appear unlikely that Mrs. Hall her self would nothing nothing.

REGISTRATION NOT TO BENECESSARY Democrats Will Concur With Gilliom’s Opinion. The question of the validity of the 1925 Indiana registration Uw was definitely settled today for /he com ing election, following a meeting of the Democratic State committee. The committee, on ’recommenda tion of a special committee of legal experts appointed by State Chairman' R, Eari Peters, voted to concur -in the opinion of Attorney General Ar thur L. Oilliom that a registration of all voters for the election is unnecessary, even though the title to the act substituting poll book lists for registration lists Is faulty. The Republican State committee already has taken similar action, and 'with a formal agreement between the two parties a possibility of a test case in court is regarded remote.
