On the White River Compnny's Lease
Fifteen Out of Seventeen

A HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF HAIL
A BRIEF RESPITE FROM ANOTHER
HEAT RECORD BREAKER.
Warmer Again TO-Day-HOw the Mer-
curry Travelled Up and Down
Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock when
people in the city were hurrying TO their
homes and places of business on account of
a threatened severe storm, the village Of
Broad Ripple and the surrounding country
was being deluged by rain and hail. The
heat was very oppressive in the morning
and about noon clouds began to gather in
In the west. At 1 o'clock the heat of the
sun was such that many were Obliged to
seek the shade, and about clock heavy
storm bore down from the northwest. First
came rain In huge drops. followed by heavy
hail and rain. The wind was terrific and
some of those out. in the storm said they
were not able to see more than ten feet.
After the first gusts of wind from the
northwest, the wind shifted and for some
minutes seemed to come from all direc-
tions.
The storm lasted not more than twenty
minutes and the sun appeared again, and
the heat was more unbearable than before.
There was but little damage done In the
town, but in the oil country near by many
derricks were blown over. and last night
1t said that but few were standing. On
the White River Oil Company lease on the
east side of the river, south of the river
bridge fifteen out of seventeen derricks
were blown down. All Of the derricks on
the Henry Hessong farm, where the first
wells were found were destroyed Reports
from north of Broad Ripple were that much
damage had been sustained in that direc-
ton, where apparently was the center Of
the storm. John H. Holiday. living north
and east of town, lost a barn roof. Accord
ing TO the reports received the derricks on
the Claypool farm were the only ones un-
injured. They were all guyed with heavy
wires.
About the time the storm was raging at
Broad Ripple, residents of the northern
part of the city suddenly experienced relief
from the heat in the breeze that seemed
to come from some great refrigerator.
Within a few moments the thermometer
showed difference of about seven degrees.
1t did not last long and the mercury took a
bound upward almost as quickly as it had
dropped, only to go down again more grad
ually. The change was no doubt due to
the cooling of the atmosphere by the hail
which fell.

OUTBREAK In VENEZUELA.
Cruiser Detroit to Proceed to La
guayra to Protect Americans.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-After an un-
usually long period of peace, trouble has
again appeared in Venezuela, and revo-
luticnary movement is now in progress.
The information has come to the State De-
partment from an unofficial source, but one
believed to be trustworthy. The extent of
the movement is not known here, but as
there have been, for some time past, ru-
mors of discomfort, 1t would not be sur
prising if this last manifestation should
prove to be of large proportions. The first
duty devolving on the government here
In such case is to safeguard the interests
and lives of American citizens. Orders
will therefore be issued to the cruiser De-
troit to proceed at once TO Laguayra. The
Detroit is with Simpsons fleet at Phila-
delphia.
MIR. Pulido, charge d'affaires of the Vene-
zuela legation. says he has received no in
formation from his government as to new
outbreak. The last information was to the
effect that the revolutionists in Los Andos
province had been defeated and scattered
and that their leader. General Castro. was
wandering in the mountains.

the Methodist Book Concern was located
on Main street, distant from all other BUSH

Cumback. 50 he has kept up almost con-

articles for the church papers on the sub

by them until his best recourse was TO the
secular press. Here he found cordial
welcome, till finally the laymen began to

Gov. Mounts Labor Address.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
To characterize Governor Mounts labor
address in a word. and say it was just what
might be expected of him. would convey
an adequate idea of its merits only to
those who know him and his methods Of
thought and expression, and to express a
wish that ii might be put In cheap, but
attractive form, SO that the millions who
are studying the yet unsolved social prob
iems might have the benefit of his figures
and philosophy is to express the wish of all
who will read ii with care; yet to my mind
it lacks one thing to constitute 1t the su-
preme textbook of the period on the labor
question-yes, two things, but there are
places in which these two lacking ideas may
be inserted in the revised edition intended
for worldwide circulation.
First-The address seems to indorse the
prevailing sentiment that work is hard
ship to be avoided. If possible-a sentiment
more or less the outgrowth Of a silly per-
version Of the early history of the race
which is made to teach that work Is a curse
pronounced upon us all because of Adams
transgression. 1t is nothing of the kind.
Adam was a working man long before Eve
led him astray, tending garden and look
ing after things in general. To work Is the
normal condition or man and that which
most differentiates him from inferior ami
mails, and this truth should be taught
among the first things taught in the nurs-
cry, whether that be In the cot Of the poor
or the mansion of the rich, and IL should
be taught as being not merely a source OF
income, but the means OF attaining the
highest ends of life: that a life without
labor Is not worth living, not merely be-
cause want may follow. but because any
life Is failure that does not contribute
to the general welfare OF all. II Is all wrong
to teach the child he must work to live;
teach him he must live to work IL he would
live TO purpose.
Secondly-He caters to the sentiment that
no nan Is a working man whose life is
not spent in manual labor. Many OF the
hardest workers are men who never handle
a tool. Governor Mount never worked hard
er In his life or more deserved TO be called
a laboring man than during the last three
years. II Is a mischievous distinction to
make the manual laborer the par excellence
working man. He Is not. and II Is especially
mischievous to tolerate without rebuke the
claim that only those who are organized
deserve to be recognized as manual labor
ers even. The Governor touches this ques-
tioh gingerly: IL should be dealt with hero
icllly. for the labor OF estion will never be
settled until every man who wants to work
shall be permitted TO work wherever ne
can find work and at such wages as he
and his employer may agree upon.
IL he shall revise and enlarge his address
and make II q standard treatise upon the
whole subject he should also correct the
popular distinction between capital and

the Storm Arrived.
Yesterday and Tuesday were the two
record breaking September days of the last
twenty-eight years. According to the
Weather Bureau, there Is nothing on the
records to show that during the last twenty
eight years the thermometer had ever be-
fore reached higher point than Sc on any
September day.
What yesterday afternoon might have
been it is not known, for, just at the time
when it seemed as though the thermometer
had become fixed at SO, storm appeared
in the distance, and. although it never
reached this city in full force, few drops
accompanied by strong wind sent the mer-
curry down rapidly. Tuesday night was a
distressing one to nearly everyone who tried
to sleep, and many people spent the night
on porches or in easy chairs, where what
little breeze there was would strike them.
Yesterday started in hotter than ever At

GOMEZ GIVES ADVICE
TELLS CUBANs TO ADOPT A POLICY
OF UNION AND CONCORD.
Spaniards Should He Considered
Friends and the Past BE Forgotten
Speech by General arrange.

HAVANA, Sept. 6-General Quintin Ban
dera visited General Gomez to-day and the
latter recommended a policy Of union and
concord. He said he had given many
thrusts with his machete, but now he
wished to give as many en- braces. He ad-
vised Bandera to inaugurate in the east
ern provinces a policy of Cancellation. Gen.
Gomez said: Now that the war Is over the
Spaniards should be considered friends and
the past should be forgotten. We and they
should live together as brothers. with
common language and similar customs. In
our attitude towards the Americans we
should give them full credit for a desire to
reconstruct the island. feel confident that
such a gallant soldier you are could
subordinate a natural antipathy for a
former foe to your desire to serve your
country and that your influence now para
mount among the fighting Cubans of the
eastern provinces would go far toward heal
ing the differences that exist among those
who took opposite sides in the great rebel
lion, so successfully concluded by the valor
of the Cubans with the assistance Of their
American allies, to whom the greatest graf
itude is due. 1t would be great mistake
to found a party in which the racial Ques-
ton would be prominent. All colors in Cuba
fought with equal valor. All fought In the
spirit of fraternity. All sacrificed everything
to bring the Cuban flag through a sea OF
blood to Its present spotless purity. / trust
that flag will never be disgraced by racial
differences, which are likely to lead to civil
war"
Both generals were profoundly affected by
the interview. Juan Guaiberto Gomez says
that their conference was an object lesson
in brotherly love to all Cubans, especially
in view of the fact that few months ago
they acted as If they wished to cut each
others throats.

Spanish Club in Sagua, where Cubans and
negroes were present, said: The sailor

KEGS ever will, for the Yankees would never

If II were not so 1t could not have made
