SIMPLICITY MARKS BEVERIDGE RITES

The dignity, precision and poise ■which characterized the life of former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge prevailed at the funeral services for Indiana's distinguished citizen Friday afternoon. Thorough preparation for every task, which was apparent in the lifetime of the noted author and statesman, marked every move in the ceremony. Service Private A few intimate friends gathered at the Beveridge home, 41G4 Washington Blvd., for the private service at Ip. m. Bishop Joseph M. Francis of All Saints Episcopal Church read prayers from the Episcopal burial, ritual. Mrs. Beveridge and ber two children, Albert ,1. Jr. and Miss Abby Spencer Beveridge, gathere with a few friends downstairs in rooms adjoining Mr. Beveridge's study, for the brief ceremony. The casket was brought downstairs Friday morning from the death chamber, only a few close friends viewing the body. E. L. McLain of Greenfield Ohio, a cousin, was the only direct relative of the former Senator at the services. Mrs. E. B. Eden, sister of Mrs. Beveridge, also attended. Over a mantel in the near by fctudy hung a picture of Abraham Lincoln, beloved by Mr. Beveridge, JACKSON STUDIES ‘JOB’ CANDIDATES Education and Health Board Appointments Pending. Returning to the Statehouso today from his Eastern trip Governor Jackson studied several important appointments that must be made within the next week. Death of President Benjamin Burris of the Ball Teachers’ College, Muncie, caused a vacancy on the State education board, which will he filled by gubernatorial appointment. Trustees of the Muncie institution will elect a president, but it does not automatically follow that he will be appointed to the State board. Dr. John M. Greene, North Vernon, and Dr, T. Victor Keene, Indianapo's, are up for reappointment to the State board of health May G. It is considered unlikely that Keene will be reappointed, due to his opposition to Dr. William F. King, health board secretary, which prevented re-election of King by a tie vote. King, whose term expired April'>-14, Jias continued tp yorve and It is predicted that he will be reelected when the board is reorganized. r ■ ' '

27 TOWNS FACING NEW FLOOD PERIL (Continued From Page 1) aged up river and wheat in southeastern Missouri, was inundated. I VICKSBURG MAY BE CUT OFF Bn United Press VICKSBURG, Miss., April 30 Vicksburg rail connection with the North may be broken within a few hours. The Mississippi River was creeping near the low industrial section of the city today nnd it seemed almost certain that railroad tracks connecting Vicksburg with the North would be inundated. Hundreds of Negroes from the Vicksburg refugee camp were mustered for the fight and countless sand bags were placed along the tracks. Refugee Cars Moved Strings of Pullman cars in which refugees were quartered near the river front were moved to a place of greater security. While the low-lying industrial section may be reached by the flood, it holds no threat for the main part of the city, located on high ground.

“LIGHT COLOR” SUITS in '

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

If the threatened flood blocks the railroads, problem of rescue and care of refugees will become extremely serious. All supplies would have to be moved long distances by boat. Facilities Taxed Rail facilities during the last two weeks have been increasingly taxed by the influx of homeless and necessity of moving tents, food and other supplies by rail to house and feed the multitude. Break in the sea wall was bringing gradual inundation of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad tracks and the station on the channel front. The break, in addition to crippling the railroad, will cover a large area between the steamboat landing and the bluff on which the city is built. Landing of refugees and supplies arriving by water would be made exceptionally difficult if the lowland is flooded. Several new breaks in the Mississippi River levee have been reported to relief authorities today and others are considered almost certain today as the mighty stream continues to rise. Government engineers announced levees has crumbled at Rolling Fork and Brunswick. New thousands will be made homeless if the levee gives way in other spots, but preparations have been made here and at Natchez which will pernflt speedy evacuation and reduce danger to life.

George Watson Lehman, 27, of Warsaw, Ind., naval aviator killed with three other naval aviators, Friday near Norfolk, W. Va„ when the plane he was piloting was struck by lightning. Lieutenant was the son of Alonzo Lehman, farmer, living west of here. He was graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1023, enternig the aviation service in July. 1925. A brother, Harold, also survives. Bn United Press NORFOLK, Vs„ April 30.—Tlie choppy waters of Chesapeake Bay were scanned additional bodies of four navy fliers who were killed when their monster seaplane H-16 was struck by lightning late yesterday and toppled 1,200 feet to destruction off Mathews, forty miles north of here. An all-night search by the aircraft tender Teal from the Hampton Roads naval air base failed to reveal the bodies, hut C. Biggs of Mathews County reported he had found one unidentified body and was holding it at his home. The dead: Lieut. Victor Frances Marinelli of Washington, D. C., and Paris. Lieut. George Watson Lehman, pilot, of Warsaw, Ind. Chief Aviation Machinist's Mate Loren Edward Poyner. Aviation Machinist’s Mate George M. Michels. All of tlie victims were married. Their wives were at Hampton Roads awaiting their return from Philadelphia, where they had gone to fetch the plane after an overhauling. The H-16 and three other planes, all of the FSL type, largest in navy use, were on the way from Philadelphia to Hampton Roads when they encountered lowering black skies. Lightning flashed. Aviation Pilot P. J. Bynre, flying just in the rear of the H-16, reported he heard an explosion above the roar of his own engines and saw the H-16 "go up in a puff of white smoke,” indicating the oil tank had been hit. Plunged Into Bay * The next moment the huge craft pitched crazily, turned on its back and with shattered wings dropped

like a plummet into the bay with a mighty upheaval of waters. Bynre and another pilot swooped tattered bits of wreckage, although they searched an hour. The third accompanying plane flew to Hampton Roads to summon the Teal. Byrne said it was impossible that any of the fbur occupants of the H-16. could have survived. The district in which the accident occurred is becoming a 'hoodoo’’ for navy fliers. At almost the same spot Lieut. Frank 11. Conant, READY TO LAUNCH BUILDING DRIVE The Phyllis Wheatley V. W. C.
