WAS VERY
UNUSUAL

An inside. rain, caused by the
sweating of the Interior as we'll as
the exterior walls of buildings, pre-
ceeded thunderstorm which swept
se County last night. following a
day of unusual weather conditions. No
da mage is reported on account of the
rain, but proceeding it. people spent a
few uncomfortable hours due to the abb
normally high barometric pressure.
Houses reeked with the smell of calci-
mine. the interior walls showed damp
spots. and on many of them little
rivulets ran to the floor. damaging the
wall papes.
Many housewives made the mistake
of throwing open their homes in the
afternoon when the humidity became
high outside. The warm atmosphere
carried lots of moisture and as it pass
ed into the cool homes and buildings
still containing the autumn temperature
OF the morning. it quickly condensed
settling on the furniture. Plaster
damped too, accounting for the loosen
ing of some ceilings and the smell Of
calcimine that pervaded homes. Where
windows were kept down the moisture
nuisance wasn't noticed indoors
The situation was relieved by a rain
which followed later, accompanied by an
extraordinary display OF lightning, and
ineessant .rumbling of thunder. The
lightning was similar to a display dur
ing tornado, flashing incessantly
across the sky in clear bold strokes.

COMPLAINT MADE
ABOUT SCHOOLS
Crown Point Building Al
legged to Be in an I'm
sanitary Condition.
Especial to THE TINES

Crown Point, Ind. Sept. f5.-At a
meeting of the school board and the
board of health yesterday, regarding
the closing OF the schools, on account
of the unsanitary conditions of the
toilet rooms in the building. it was de-
cided to make Temporary alterations in
the basement. pending the visit of the
repres entative o fthe state board of
health. The ventilation and sanitary
systms in the structure are way below
standards in fact it is said that the mod
ern methods of ventilation were an un-
known quantity when the building was
constructed. The school board realizes
the poor condition of the school build
ing regarding the ventilation features
but Is powerless to make any material
changes on account of the present COZ
dition of finances. School will be con.
tinued In the building at least until
such reccomme enda tions are made by the
state board, and then the school board
will endeavor to have the work done
without interruption to the regular
school work.

a. charge of intoxication after threat
ening the lives of several people and
children was again arrested this MORN
ing on a charge of provocation in

examined her on a charge of insanity,
but she could not be sent away as her
condition has been caused by drink
Her case was continued and will be
tried again this evening.
Immediately after her hearing she
went to a local store where her
daughter is employed and caused quite
a eommotion by calling her thief and
vile names. Constable Taussig was
again summoned and took her to her
home.
Mrs. Robinson has just returned from

given another sentence at Crown Point.

THIEVES
USE STORM
FOR TRICK

Making the best of an opportunity
during the hard rain and storm last
night thieves entered three Hammond
business places in the loop district and
made their escape without being de-
tected; carrying away a large amount
of merchandise and money. The rob-
berries were the most daring that have
taken place In Hammond for some time,
the thieves having worked in the heart
of the business district at State and
Holman streets under the eye of a
policeman who knew nothing of the
robberies until informed this morning.
The robberies are thought to have
taken place early this morning at the
time of the electrical storm making it
most impossible for policeman to be
out on the street. The thieves likely
watched their chance when the police.
man was under shelter and entered the
business houses.
