Abani Kumar Bose of Barodi. East Bencal. India After going through many experienqes in Calcutta and In Abani s lungle harejn she escaped and came to Chicago where she obtained a divorce. In her first article, Mrs. Kurlow told of Abani s whirlwind courtship while both were university students, of their marriage in Chicago. and of the fury of Abani s family when they learned he had married an “unclean one " By Betty Kurlow Written for United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 11.—Abhnl began to talk about going to India, to his home in Barodi. He said he wanted to take me to his fam/iy so they could see he had not married beneath himself. I reminded him of his promise to stay in America. He replied sullenly that he only wanted to visit India and would bring me back to Chicago in a few weeks, just as soon as he had proven to his family that I was worthy of being his wife. Sail for Calcutta I finally consented to go for a short visit. We sailed for Calcutta in January, 1918, from New York. On the voyage across the Atlantic and through the Mediterranean, my husband was the same wonderful man that be had always been—broadminded, calm and clear headed, ex cept that he seemed to brood on the way his mother and brothers had accepted the announcement of our marriage. Calcutta was my flrstY glimpse of a world entirely different from what I had been accustomed to. Rioting was being carried on against British rule. English soldiers patrolled the dirty streets, the few white people were hissed and spit at by the natives as they passed through the city. It was then, too, that I learned Abani was an ardent follower of Mahatma Ghadi, nationalist, leader, whose slogan was “India for Indians.” My husband, the nobleman who spent years in the United States learning .American ways,

He took less notice of me, being intent, seemingly, on only one thing —the forcing of my acceptance by his family, which was then staying In Calcutta. Reverts to an Indian Abani soon lost his American mannerisms completely. He reverted to an Indian. He was silent, morose, and quarrelsome. His family, however, accepted me into their home. The Indians, however, are a people of moods. One day they would treat me as an equal, and the next I would be nothing ‘more than a servant. I wore the long flowing robes of the Indian women and the veil she is forced to keep over her face when men are present. In every way I tried to please my husbrnd’s relatives. An<J I would have succeeded had It not been for their Brahmin priest. The priest's only duty was performing a religious ceremony night and mflrning for the Bose family. When I arrived, he refused to continue the services. He vowed that I was unclean, untouchable and even threatened to outcast the Bose family from th? church—all on ac count of me. j ' Taken to Wilds Os course the rulers of Barodi were angry, both at me and at the priest. Abani finally decided to have his brother take me to the family castle in Barodi while the prayer of another priest was negotiated. Then too.

SEEK SLASH 111 COST OF tin uts Council Majority Faction Turns Attention to Cutting Expense. BLUE PENCIL IS READY Illumination of Suburbs Arouses Wrath. Majority faction city councilmen, occupied with plans for buying the Indianapolis Water Company, now have turned their attention to cutting the city’s bill for street lighting, according to Boynton J. Moore, council president. The city buys current for its street lights from the Merchants' Heat and Light Company, under contract. Moore said the councilmen plan to blue pencil the request of vhe board of works for more money for lighting during 1927. Counrilmen Aronsed Frequency of high-powered Illuminating units in suburban districts where there are no houses, a condition discovered by the board early in this administration, has especially aroused the councilmanic wrath, according to Moore. The Shank administration board-of works bound the city to a ten-year contract for street lighting with the Merchants Company. When the Duvall administration board learned that lights were being installed fast and furiously in districts where a passerby a night was an event, members ordered cessation of Installations. “Crowding” Opposed Board members also objected to the crowding together of the brilliant lights, contending that the practice contributed nothing but additional profits for the light com pany. The allotment of light funds to the' high-powered system has curtailed extension of corner lighting to districts where lights are needed to hamper the 'activities of highwaymen, board members sgy. It haft been exceedingly difficult for petitioners to obtain corner lights for many months because of the concentration 'upon brilliant Illumination. it is said.

RESCUE IN MINE TRAP IS SLOWED Fresh Difficulties Block Efforts to Reach Five Entombed Men. GREAT PUMP IS STOPPED Workers, Sinking Shaft, Also Meet Caves-ins. Bu United Preen SALEM, Ivy., Aug. 11.—Fresh difficulties today blocked the path of rescue workers attempting to reach the five men imprisoned eince last Thursday in a zinc and spar mine here. Salem is twenty miles south of Evansville, Ind. After a breakao'wn and delay while new parts were brought by airplane from Memphis, Tenn., the great centrifugal pump which had been draining the flooded mine, again stopped when the water fell below the turbine blades, which must be submerged. Lake Is Released The men wefe imprisoned when the pick of a miner broke through the thin shell of floor which released water from an unsuspected underground lake. The water geysered into the level and the men tied farther back into the level to a pocket which was higher. Since that time the mine engineers have worked day and night to keep the pumps going to the level of the water would not reach to the pocket. The water blocked rescue through the main shaft so fellow miners have been attempting to reach the imprisoned men through new shafts sunk at various points approximately over the packet, y Hampered by Cave-ins - Workers digging an emergency rescue shaft have encountered caveins at about sixty feet below the surface, and this has slowed up their work greatly. The well drill, working on its fourth hole, has penetrated seventy feet. Though virtually all hope of rescuing alive the men buried for nearly six days has been abandoned, the 300 workers are going ahead with their work as rapidly as possible under circumstances. The diamond drill has been definitely abandoned after falling in Its fourth attempt to drill a hole. A smaller pump has been put in operation pending return of the big pump to operation. As soon as all water has been removed from the old shaft, work will be directed toward removing mud and debris, believed to be but three feet deep. Once through this, reaching the entombed men will be a matter of minutes. In the face of present difficulties rescuers estimate that the men will not be reached before forty-eight hours. Air Current Helpful. Late yesterday two miners crawled into the old shaft as far as the cave-in and reported there was a strong current of air there. Their findings indicated that the entombed men have fifeen getting fresh air. Streams of cold water run through the pocket where the men are trapped, making it possible, however, for the men to have died from exposure. There is no possibility of the men having been drowned in the water from the underground lake, It was said, since the pocket is high enough for them to Qlimb to a level above the reach of the water.
