WORK NEXT WEEK

Members of the Second District ap-
peal board at Fort Wayne, are plan
ming to complete their work on the
first quota some time next week, ac-
cording to Earl o. Crawford, agricul-
tural member Of the board.

established by the appeal board and
very few of the decisions of local
boards have been reversed Mr.. Craw-
ford said.

CAUSES
NO LOSS OF LIFE

MOBILE. Ala, Sept. 29.-The gulf
and coastal sections of east Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and Western
Florid were emerging today from the
tropical hurricane which swept in
from the Gulf of Mexico Friday and
for number of hours isolated many
towns along the country. Roofs of
residences and frail buildings were
damaged but warnings in advance
prevented extensive damage to ship
ping and as scores of persons came in
from exposed points, no loss of life
was reported.
Telephone, telegraph and railroad
communication was virtually paralyz-
ed. Damage to wires by high winds
was expected to constitute the chief
loss.
The storm struck the coast at the
mouth of the Mississippi and swung
across narrow portion of louisiana,
missed New Orleans but hit Gulfport,
Biloxi and the Mississippi coast sec
ton, swept through Mobile at times
with velocity of SO miles an hour
and extended east to Pensacola where
communication had not been restored
early today.

STATES CHIEF
Will RECOVER

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 29.-Physi-
clans who have been attending Cover
nor James P. Goodrich during his
serious illness announced today that
barring further complications the gov
ernor will recover. They said it had
been hard fight and that on several
occasions they despaired of saving
his life. However, he is now gaining
strength and while recovery will be
slow they feel confident that the
worst is over.
After making the announcement the
physicians said that as the governor
was in very weakened condition,
having been i'll since August 81, no
visitors would be permitted to see
him for several days, and possibly for
two weeks as it would tax the gov
ernor's strength to receive them. The
formal announcement was made as
follows:
During the past ten days the prog
ress in the case Of Governor Good
rich has been very satisfactory
There has been a steady subsistence of
the fever and of all other symptoms
During most OF the day now the tenn
perature is normal and the afternoon
rise which may be expected for few
days more is lower each day and of
a short duration. The governor HIM
self says that he is quite comfortable
and free from pain while the GONZALES
cense is, in every case, a period of
anxiety, yet at present there is moth
ing which leads us to suspect fur
ther complications. Barring some un-
expected developments we look for
ward to slow but steady GONZALES

Field Marshal Haaig is extremely

the British front in France and Bel
GUM
Nothing to report expect the usual
artillery activities on both side,'' is the
essence of it.
The warnings yesterday from the
newspaper correspondents that moth
ing need be expected from them for
the time being. read in this connection,
tends to create an air Of tenseness,
with the possibility soon of big events
pending.
Military observers not on the spot,
however, seem at sea over the prob
abilities, the interval since yesterday
appears too short for the launching of
another extended movement in Flan-
ders and there has been no signs of
preparation for drive in any other.
The possibility exists, too, that the
veil which has been drawn over the
activities along the fighting light is
only intended to cover up some dispo-
sitions of the entente forces until the

The comparative quiet that has pre-
vailed for the last few days on the
French front is continuing. Only the

STRIKE CAUSES
DEATH OF SIX

GARY, Ind, Sept. 29-Sfx men met
death in the plant of the United States
Steel Corporation here today as an
indirect result of the strike of the
switchmen in the local yards Of the
Chicago. Joliet & Eastern railway Be-
cause of the strike there has been a
shortage of material in the mills and
as a result one of the blast furnaces
became clogged. Emory Padgett, a
foreman, took eight men into the fur
mace to clean it. A gas valve gave
way and Padgett and five of his work
men were asphyxiated. It is thought
that one of the workmen struck the
valve accidentally, and that it broke
under the blow and the high pressure
gas which it confined

Fight Fires Before They Start,
is Adpice of Chief Miller;
Richmond Loss Rate Very Lou

Richmond residents are urged to CO.
operate with the fire department and
the city building inspector, in keeping
the city's fire loss down, now that the
"fire season" is here.
Richmond has been very fortunate
so far this year and the fire loss dur
ing the entire year has amounted to
slightly more than $780, The fire
loss here is probably smaller than any
city in the state the size of Richmond.
There were three months this year
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-09-29

when there was no fire at all.
Fight fires before they start" is
the advice of Chief Miller and City
Building Inspector Hodgin. Residents
are advised to inspect their fues and
furnace pipes before building fires.
With the coming of cooler weather
fires are more frequent and residents
are asked to make a thorough in
spection as to the possibility of their
houses catching fire from defective
fues.
