Franco to Rule

Without Parliament BURGOS, Spain, Jan. 31 (U. P). -Gen. Francisco Franco, Rebel commander in chief, today signed a law regulating the political and administrative structure of Rebel Spain and forseeing the formation of a formal Government under his presidency. It was ordered that the law would

be published today in the official bul-

Franco has arranged for is similar to that of the United States so far as the executive branch of Government is concerned, with a cabinet under the President; but without a parliament.

KNIGHTSTOWN HOME TO FETE MONTE BLUE

KNIGHTSTOWN, Jan. 31 (U. P.). The Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ children’s home will pay tribute to-

an overheated stove, one of several used for heating the plant. Firemen were handicapped by near-zero weather and the fact that Tipton’s largest fire engine was wrecked in a collision with an auto while speeding to the plant. Seven persons were injured in the crash, none seriously.

Equipment Destroyed

By the time firemen reached the plant, about half of it was ablaze and threatening to spread to nearby buildings. Firemen concentrated on

saving the tomato packing section and the Don Coffin Coal Co. elevator building. The section destroyed contained the storage quarters and the corn and pea canning plant. Much canning equipment was destroyed along with a large amount of canned stock. The tomato canning section was saved. Cans of vegetables were thrown 70 feet into the air, many of them exploding from the intense heat. The plant was one of the largest in the state, employing 1000 persons during the rush season. The section was the newer part of the factory, having been erected about seven years ago. Most of the huilding was of frame which blazed like tinder in the high wind.

Firemen Are Treated

Many firemen had to be treated for frost-bitten ears, hands and faces after the flames were brought under control. Several members of the Kokomo unit were suffering from cold and exposure after their ride to Tipton and were given first aid treatment before they could join their companions. The fire halted several trains on the Nickel Plate Railroad which operates past the plant. Injured in the truck-car crash were Mrs. Bernard Rebuck and her daughters, Phyllis, 15; Charlotte Idle, 16, and Florence Moorhead, 16, all of Elwood, and William Allbright, 20; Paul Roderick, 18, and

He was taken to City Hospital where his condition was termed fair. Temperatures here yesterday reached a high of 50 degrees. The Weather Bureau said that the new cold wave is being swept into the city from the Northwest. There was a low of 40 below zero at Winnpeg, the Bureau said.

Netherlands Happy as Daugh ter, Second

In Line for Throne, Is Born to Juliana

SOESTDYK, The Netherlands, Jan. 31 (U, P.).—Crown Princess Juliana gave birth today to a daughter who, like Princess Elizabeth of Britain, is destined one day to be queen of an empire unless a boy is born to her parents. The people of the Netherlands and of its far flung possessions were jubilant. Cannon everywhere boomed 51 times, conveying the news. If it had been a boy there would have been 101 guns. People poured into the streets, dancing and singing, Flags, decorations and strings of lights appeared as if by magic. The baby has blue eyes, light brown hair and is big and sturdy. An official bulletin described the condition of mother and baby as “very satisfactory.” ‘The child's weight was not given.

With the Princess in the semicircular White Palace here were her mother, Queen Wilhelmina, and her husband of a year, ! Eight groups of medievally clad heralds, two trumpeters and a crier in each, started from the Hague to inform the country formally of the birth of a second heir to the throne. Coincidentally airplanes took off from Royal Air Force fields to drop leaflets all over the country. Sextons climbed to church towers to ring the bells. Town and village bands were ordered out to head parades. Choristers made ready to parade themselves, singing hymns of thanksgiving that the royal succession was fruther assured. The people seemed no less joyous because the baby was a girl. Not since the death of Queen Wilhelmina's step-brother, Alexander, in 1884 had there been a male heir to the throne. Queen Wilhelmina ascended the throne as a girl of 10 in 1890. The baby is only the second royal one since Queen Wilhelmina's own birth.

“

First witnesses at the scene reported one of the women, later identified as Mrs. McFeely, dashed from the house, her clothing ablaze. She dropped dead in the driveway. The body of Mrs. Hawk was found in a doorway between the living room and bedroom.

The Commission commuted senfences of three applicants. Wendall Schafer, sentenced in Franklin County on Sept. 12, 1933, to 25 years for auto banditry, received a commutation of 6 to 25 years. His codefendant, Homer Carter, serving 10 years for bank robbery, received commutation of 6 to 10 years, The
