CREAMERY CONCERNS ill EASTERN INDIANA DEFENDANTS IN SUIT Several Eastern Indiana companies are named as defendants in the suit filed Thursday in Marion county su
perior court by Attorney General U. S. Lesh. and William P. Evans. Marlon county prosecutor, in which they charge the existence in Indiana of a milk and dairy products trust, -with a "slush" fund which is maintaining "unreasonable and unconscionable" low purchase prices to producers and similarly unreasonable high prices to consumers.

month or so ago by the state legal j
department against Indianapolis ice dealers, who, it is charged, are operating in restraint of trade and arc holding up ice prices. That uit is in the courts and will be heard this fall. The attention of the legal department to the milk situation was attracted by the great difference between the price of milk paid to producers and the price to consumers. The state has no authority to deal with mnrplns of nrofits. but it ha3
authoritv to restrain combination I
which may operate to keep prices up and to stifle competition. I Several months ago an investigation of the so-called milk trust was begun by the attorney-general's office, but the investigation was postponed to work on the ice "trust" suit, because of the high price of ice and the seasonable requirement. It was the Intention of the legal department to fight the ice suit out this summer, but the court hearing on it was 'postponed until September 6. CARUSO IS LAID AWAY IN VAULT IN NAPLES (By Associated Press) NAPLES. Aug. 5 This city resumed its normal life today, following the interruption caused by the death of Enrico Caruso on Tuesday and his funeral yesterday. Seldom in the history of the city has the death of a man in private life so affected the impressionable Neapolitans, and from the time the great tenor's death was announced until his body was placed in its temporary resting place, business virtually was at a standstill. Church, government and people yesterday paid the last honors to Caruso. At the Basilico of San Francisco di Paola where the requiem mass was celebrated were gathered representatives of King Victor Emmanuel, the
Italian government, the Lnitea btates and many other countries. In the floral offerings heaped about the vault where the body was placed were wreaths sent as tokens of the sorrow felt in virtually the entire occidental world. Great crowds surged about the noble edifice where the funeral service wa9 held or strained against the police lines drawn along the streets while the procession passed. It was estimated that nearly 50,000 persons gathered in front of the basilica. The press of the crowd in its attempt to enter the church to view the casket of the famous tenor wa3 so great that troops had to charge several times upon the throng. Finally a cordon was thrown about the church to prevent serious disorder.
WAYNE CIRCUIT COURT ESTABLISHES RECORD !
IN SESSION'S LEGAL WRANGLE SETTLEMENTS
All previous records fpr the Wayne' circuit court have been shattered by the unprecedented disposal of cases which has characterized the workings of the local court during the April
term thus far. Court officials and lawyers of the city are agreed in stating that never in the history of local jurisprudence has the wheels of legal machinery progressed with such rapidity. :. ... The general criticism of the slowness of legal procedure cannot be applied against the Wayne circuit court if figures compiled from the number of cases tried and decisions handed down can be taken as a guide. Judge William A. Bond, head of the local court, states that he is unable to explain the reason for the great growth of legal business. "I don't know to what to attribute the volume of business that has come before me during the past year," the Judge stated. "Records show that we have disposed of virtually three cases a day since this term of court opened
on April 4." Court Regarded Efficient. In spite of the rapidity of disposal more cases were filed than were disposed of. However the run-over is very small compared with many past
terms, beveral cases have been ven-

NO AMERICANS SEEN ' COMING FROM RUSSIA
(By Associated Press.) LONDON. Aug. 5. The American relief officials in London are placing little faith in the reports that the American prisoners in Russia have been released and are now leaving that country. "The word we received yesterday was merely a Letvian newspaper report forwarded by our representative in Riga," said the secretary to Walter L. Brown, European director of the relief administration this morning. "We are keeping a vigilant watch over every possible exit the Americans might take from Russia, and none save Mrs. Marguerite Harrison has as yet come through." "This leads us to believe," he added, "that the Letvian report of their release must be a product of the Bolshevik propaganda organization."
ued to the Wayne court from adjoining counties which show that the local court is regarded as just and efficient. Since April 4. 263 civil cases have been tried and disposed of. To offset this 272 civil suits have been filed. Probate court has also required considerable attention. A total of 72 trust estates have been opened. Guardians, executors, Administrators and trustees have been appointed for
these. Final reports closing probate
work have been filed and examined in 75 cases. This does not include numerous orders for sales, inheritance tax hearings and similar cases. Many Criminals Sentenced.
The criminal docket has also been crowded. .Disposition of 78 cases has been made during this term. This is
probably the largest criminal record of a corresponding term of court, officials state.
Jurys have been called in to decide
15 cases. A total of 427 days of jury
service has been performed during the term thus far. It is predicted by Judge Bond that the last month of the
term will give the members of the reg
ular jury even more service, two or
three cases being on the docket that
will require considerable time to set
tle.
The juvenile court, which is also presided over by Judge Bond, has
grown in such proportion that it is often remarked .that there ia more business in the youth's court now than
was previously transacted in circuit
courts. Juvenile Docket Crowded.
Records have been made of 17 cases in the Juvenile court and a large
number disposed of in which no record has been made. Thirty-three children and 24 parents have been brought before the judge. The board of children's guardians ha been placed in custody of 20 children, two have been sent to White's Institute, 11 have been taken from the institute and placed in homes. Eight children have been taken from the Home for Friendless, and 10 confined therein. Adoption has ended the wanderings of seven children. Four girls have
been sent to the state girl's school at
Clermont and two boys sentenced to the boy's school at Plainfield. A total
of 136 cases have been investigated through the juvenile court. Members of the court, including Judge Bond, Prosecutor Paul Beckett, and Court Reporter John Holaday, remarked Friday morning that with all these turbulent questions disposed of they were of the opinion that they were deserving the vacation which will be started by the court next Monday.
WHERE HEAT WAVE HITS HARDEST
FOR TOMORROW ONLY I
Shaded portions of wo maps above show location of excessive heat areas in Europe and America. Several of a number of European scientists who have been studying the world-wide heat wave of the last few weeks place blame for the unusual torridity upon the sun spots, or "storms on the sun," which have been prevalent. A peculiar feature of the hot spell has been that it did not extend in zones, but was concentrated in certain spots. In Europe, Ireland and parts of England and France are suffering particularly, and the drought in the Volga river valley in Russia is so protracted that a serious famine is under way because of destroyed crops. ,
RETURN POSSESSIONS TOBERNSTORFF'SWIFE
(By Associated Press) . NEW YORK, Aug. 5. Countess Von Bernstoiff, wife of the former German
ambassador to the United States,
again has possession of the $1,100,000 in money and securities seized in 1917 by the alien property custodian, it was
learned today.
Return of the property was made
yesterday to her American representative by the Bankers Trust Company,
the custodian s depository, under an order of the District of Columbia supreme court. " Issuance of this order followed hearings held here in which the countess established the fact that she was an American citizen prior to her marriage, having been Johanna Luckemsyer, daughter of a pioneer New York silk merchant, and that she inherited her money from her father. An amendment to the trading with the enemy act provided for return of funds seized under such circumstances.

It is also surmised that Hardin?

unsurpassed ability as a negotiator in
situations of this kind, and of Her

many of the economic questions Involved.
All this, however, is the nature of surmise based on surface probabilities. The ' actual selections remain solely within President Harding's

MAY SHIP SOVIET GOLD FROM GREAT BRITAIN
f By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. Russian Soviet gold may now be shipped to this country from Great Britain as a result of a recent test case in the
British courts, the commerce depart
ment has been advised by cable by Ambassador Harvey, at London.
"The London board of trade, now takes the ground," the ambassador said, "that the outcome of the test
case demonstrates that no holder of imperial Russian securities can successfully contest the Soviet claim to legal ownership of the Russian gold reserve; and I am informed that tlio Bank of England will henceforth grant export licenses on documents of title, for Soviet gold without regard to the character of the assay, marks it carries."
