Following an evening of brilliant electrical displays, one of the most spectacular of the season in the city, a heavy thundrestorm and rain-storm descened upon Indianapolis shortly before midnight, Wednesday. The downpour, which settled to a steady rain, continued through the night, with a total fall of .79 of an inch. The rain followed a torrid day, mercury registering 92.8 degrees at 3:50 p. m. Temperature this morning was lower, being 70 at 7. a. m., or 7 degrees below the mark for that hour Wednesday.

Over Indiana Storms visited most of Indiana, the central portion receiving the heaviest rains. Columbus, with a fall of 3 inohes, was in the lead In the rain league.

TERROR OF HAREM RE VEALED BY GIRL Tigers and Jackals Roared Near Hovel Her Husband Pictured to Her as W onderful Castle.

Till* is the third of a series of fire articles written for the United Press by Betty Kurlow. Chicago 50-ed. who married a Hindu and went with lufti to India, where she experienced many hardships. In her first two articles. Miss Kurlow told how Abani Kumar Bose wooed her at Northwestern University. Chicago, took her to India and then sent her to his "castle” in Barodi. East Bengal, because she had displeased a Brahmin pri.-st. By Beatty Kurlow Written for the United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—-The castle I had heard about in America turned out to be nothing but a big, old shack when I saw it in India. It was located in an almost unbelievably dreary expanse of rice fields. The house was large, dirty and entirely devoid of any conveniences. Its dark corners were used for nests by large droves of bats; mosquitoes came in swarms through the iron barred windows; poisonous snakee colled about the damp foundations. vultures flew in circles about the yard, waiting for refuse to be thrown from the kitchens, and— Worst of all to me—tigers and jackals roared and whined outside the windows the whole night through. Such was my husband’s feudal castle, the seat of government for the Indian province of Barodi. Natives Stared No white persons were within hundreds of miles. I had no one I could talk to, no books to read—nothing. And the natives stared. It was awful. I was put into the Zenanna—the harem—where I was forced to spend three months while my husband tried to get another priest to hold semices for the Boses. And Abani, Instead of writing to me as he should have done, wrote to his brother—my jailer—telling him to be sure to hold me until anew priest was obtained at Calcutta. Becomes 111 During my stay in Barodi I was taken 111 from the dirty food and the vile living conditions. I wrote to my

MAN, WOMAN IN JALAFTER FIGHT V Battle With Five Members of Police Department. Robert Jones, 21, Mars Hill, and Miss Dorval Alllee. 24, of 904 E. Michigan St., today were behind the bars at city prison, after engaging in combat with five members of the police department Wednesday evening. They were to answer charges in municipal court. TrafTicman Woollen noticed the two at Delaware a\jd Washington Sts., when their auto had collided with a truck driven by Warden Holland, 1831 Boulevard PI. Searching Jones, he found two bottles of mule. Jones started to b&ctle the officer, "stepped on the gas” and crashed Into another truck, the force of the collision throwing Woollen from the running board of the car and Injuring his arm. Other police arrived and the two finally were lodged.in jail. Jones attempted to escape fry climbing over the caging in the. turnkey’s office. Both Jones and Miss Alliee were slated on charges of drunkenness, blind tiger, profanity and resisting an officer and Jones also was charged with operating an auto while under the influence of liquor. Woollen was taken home and his Injuries treatejj. lTquor raids made Deputy Sheriffs and Federal Agents Arrest Two.

mother, finally, begging her to send money so I could ceme back, home. I thought I would die—l even contemplated committing suicide. Finally, however, Abani obtained a priest, who would overlook my being one of “the devil’s own,’’ and I was allowed to return to Calcutta My Illness became worse and I contracted the dread dingee fever — a native disease carried by the gigantic mosquitoes of the rice swamps. After hovering between life and death for weeks in pestilent Calcutta. I began to recover. But my nerves were shattered and I looked “wrecked.” My skin had turned yellow, my eyes were sunken, my hair straggly and I remained for. some time so weak I could hardly walk. A Changed .Man By husband by this time was not the same man. He was exactly like any other well-born Hindu In the city. His wife was merely a plaything. something to be fondled when he was in a good humor and something to be Ignored when it suited him. But Abani was Inordinately proud of having married a white woman. He took every chance he could to show his fellow countrymen how he could dominate me—how he could rule his American wife. I was made to wear native clothes, to live entirely with Indians an'd was not even permitted to speak with the few white people in the city. Even had my husband allowed me to mingle In the English colony, I couldn’t have done It because the otner white people looked at me In scorn for marrying a Hindu. Arid being snubbed by the only people in the city I could talk to, outside of my husband, hurt me worse jrerhaps than did anything else. In her fourth article tomorrow. Miss Kurlow tells how an effort was made to sell her to a Hindu Prince.
