Mrs Lynch was proStrated and for a mo- ment the sanitary inspector, who is not easily ratt1ed was staggered by the shock. Mrs. Lynch was removed to her room and a moment later neigh Dor knocked at the door and an- nounced that the house was on fire. An alarm brought the crew of No. ?

 The bolt entered the house at the ridge and passed down into the kitchen of MT. LynchS flat where it ended in terrific explosion. The shingles and siding of the house and the walls of plainly where the lighting entered but no trace of it's path of exit could be found.

PLANS LUNACY COMMISSION
 FOR HANS
Report in Court House To- day that Judge Garretson Will Take Such Action, After Jury Box is Filled in Murder Trial.
Especial from United Press.)


 Flushing, April 20.-With rumors about the courthouse that Judge Gar retson personally plans to name a lun- acy commission to examine Captain Peter C. Hains after the jury box is filled. the trial of Capt. Hains for the murder of William F. Annis was re- stunned to-day with two jurors, August Sundling and George P- Higeby, in the box The taleSmen called all slow evident anxiety to avoid jury duty their usual excuse being opposition to capital punishment. The balance of the week may De required to fill the box. There was a, new panel of 100 on hand when court opened.
 Captain Hains presented the same he was brought into court handcuffed to a deputy sheriff. He was the most indifferent man in the room- Con- trary to usual procedure in murder trials, Captain Hains has nothing to do with the selection of the jurors.
 In fact Mcintyre sits across the ta- ble from him and pays no attention to him. "All I want to do is to have him acquitted that he can be sent to an asylum" declared the senior counsel for the defense just before the trial was resumed to-day. Mcintyre de- clared to-day that he has another Mrs Claudia Hains to her husband while he was in the Philippines and that these will be made public should the state call the wife to testify that her husband was sane. These letters, he claims, are of a character to offset any evidence Mrs. Claudia Hains may give.

WHEAT CORNER SMASHED TODAY
 PRICES CRUMBLE
Special from United Press)

(SpeclaI rom Cn1teQ PreSS.)
 Chicago, April 20.-What is apparent ly a concerted effort to smash James A. Patten's So-called Wheat Corner was made in the pit shortly after the opening to-day when enormous quanti- ties of wheat were dumped on the market and prices crumbled rapidly. May wheat went down to SIPS 7-S, the lowest price since the sensational ad- vance of two weeks ago and more than three cents below the high figure for the crop.
 In a wild drive just after noon 12:30 this afternoon the bears threw the pit into an uproar when they forced ap- other decline in May and July wheat of two cents sending the price of May down to 1231a and of July 1131a. This is five and one half cents under the crop record for May and 41A under for July.
 In the next fifteen minutes Patten gave desperate support to the market and held May in check but could not influence July. May had advanced to 124 at 1 o'clock and July slumped still further to 113. London wheat continued to come out in large quantities.
