Of the city line. The entire plant,
covering a large area. was carried
away, pieces Of timber being blown
mile out into the river so they
stuck up like spars and buoys.
C. c. Lamond, whose family has
| lived on the property where the
| plant is for more than 100 years,
could not estimate the damage to,
day, but said he did not think it
would reach 100000
ut would he easier to 80 out into
plowed field and start anew
than try to rebuild here, however,
he said
Mr.. Lamond then told ot a meet

board of directors of the Alexandria
Trust and Mortgage Company,
when John Graham, a member of
the board, and a prominent real
estate and insurance man, suggested
all take out cyclone insurance.
I'VE were all joking with him
for the suggestion" Lamond said,
land | facetiously told him to put
me down for $l00,O worth
wish he had now. He told us how
cheap the rate would he because
there never would be a cyclone here
anyhow" Lamond carries only fire
insurance. which does not protect
against cyclones.
The Hoge Feed COmpany's plant
suffered $4,000 damage. and this
was fully protected by cyclone in
surance, but the Janney wholesale
grocery warehouse, damaged to the
extent of $4,000. was uninsured.
It. was considered fortunate for
Alexandria that the storm struck
the so-called slum district of the
city in the northern section, and
most of the houses which were de.
stroyed were delapidated and about
ready to come down anyway. There
were hundreds of trees destroyed,
and the historic landmarks of more
pretentious days of the past obliter.

One garage on Duke Street was
carried completely away and part
of it landed at the Jefferson School
four blocks away.
On King Street there was little
evidence Of damage today other
than the half destroyed old Jackson
Hotel at the corner Of Peytou
Street. This hosiery. famous
hundred years ago. for many years
has housed colored families. Across
the street, church was damaged
considerably. but its walls and roof
remained intact
There was mute evidence on every

storm had followed, cutting it's

SzCin1merS Are Urged to
Abide by Safety Rules
Recreation Director Sug-
gests Regulations for
Bathing Pools.

Recreation Director Jesse P. Nc
Clure today appealed to swimmers
to aid water safety in Indianapolis
this year by observing regulations.
Here are some suggestions:
Don't swim alone; every swimmer
needs a water buddy to give the
alarm in case of an accident.
Avoid long swims after a period
OF inactivity. Train gradually.
Wait two hours after eating to
avoid stomach cramps.
Don't dive in deep water first;
wade in shallow water until the
body is accustomed to the water.
Be sure there is six feet of water
free from stumps and rocks before
diving.
Don't remain in water too long.
Plan More Pools
Five more modern pools costing
$4,000 are planned by the park
board. Proposed sites include Ellen
berger, Garfield and Brookside
Parks. The pools will be $50 by rs
feet with wading pool for children
in the center.
Ernest S. Hoelscher of the Ar.ari-
can Red Cross staff will conduct
weekly classes at pools and instruct
life guards in teaching beginners.
Women Teach Children
Young women give special in
struction to children. They are:
Alberta Clark, Willard Park; Olive
Willworth, Ringgold, and Louise
Schetter, Warfleigh Beach.

DR.. STRAT0N ANSWERS
CHARGES OF DEACONS

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 25.-Dr. John
Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church, stood firm today in
defense of his church against
charges of frenzied worship made by
five resigning deacons.
DR.. Straton called the action Of
the deacons unfair and foolish"
The deacons said "pentecostal'
rites had been practiced at prayer
meetings. Members became rigid
with ecstasy and in same cases
talked incoherently and were cred
tied with having received the gift
of tongues" it was said.
DR.. Straton said such reports were
"caricatures" of actual happenings,
and said the mid-week prayer meet
ings and healing services would con-
tinue.

City Officials Scored at
Meeting of South Side
Citizens.

In a resolution adopted by men,
bers of the Garfield and Surround
ing Civic League Friday night, city
boards and officials o fthe Indiana
polls Union Railway we're urged to
hasten elevation of the Belt rail-
road.
Citizens of the South Side who
spoke at a meeting in the Garfield
Park shelter house declared the
elevation work has been postponed
The resolution follows: Resolved.
eight years,
That this league urge prompt action
be taken for the promised elevation
of the Belt railroad tracks and that
it shall be taken before he expira-
ton of four years, and we earnestly
petition the proper authorities to
act as soon as possible.
John Rittenbach, executive COM
mittee member stated that If the
South Side waited for politicians to
hand us what they can, all hope is
gone"
Manager May Help
Perhaps through the city man
ager plan we can whip the poll
ticianS and get something for the
south side" he said. I'VE shouldl
continue to fight. We do not want
to wait five years for the track ele-
vation work. We want it at once"
Other association members de-
clared no satisfaction was obtained
from board of work members in
connection with the situation. They
said they received a promise from
the board that track elevation will
start thirty days after the flood pre-
vention work at Morris st. and
White River is begun.
H. F. Kottkamp, president of the
league, said there was no use to
name a committee to call on the
board of works about the situation.
Useless to Ask
"That bunch of city hall politi-
clans would send us back home
/ WltnouJ doing anytnlng Ior us as
they always have" he declared, IF
we want to bring about elevation
of these tracks, we are going TO have
to get out and fight for 1t, There is
no reason why we should have to
wait four years for an improvement
that means SO much to the South
Side. 1t is up to us to show city
officials that the South Sides inter-
csts must be considered and we
want quick action"
R. NJ. Love, publisher Of the South
Side citizen said "the cards. are
stacked against us politically

TOWN SEEKING
TO BUY MUSCLE
SHOALS power
Alabama Citizens Press
Plan to Obtain Cheap
Electricity.
BY C. j. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, June 25.-De-
mand that the Government let a
municipality buy Muscle Shoals
power was made of the War De-
partment today and will be con-
tinued today by a delegation of
sixty citizens, who say they repre-
sent 10000 Alabamans.
They are residents Of Sheffield,
Tuscumbia, Florence and Muscle
Shoals City, all of which are
grouped around the Government
property in Alabama. The specific
demand is power be sold to Muscle
Shoals City, which borders on nj
trate plant No. 2.
Muscle Shoals City recently filed
bid with the Government, asking
for the right to operate Govern
ment pumping plant to supply wa
ter to its community and to serve
the Government free at the same
time.
The application was favored by
partment and approved by Secre-
tary of War Davis.
In seeking the water permit, Mus
Gle Shoals citizens had the idea in
the back of their heads that they
could obtain control of two huge
transformers in the water plant and
thus, by purchasing power directly
from the Government, serve them
selves with electricity at low rate.
Company Opposed
These citizens charge that the
Alabama Power Company got wind
of their plans and is doing every
thing to block them. The company
has filed for a bid for use of the
water plant and is pressing its claim
Although it already had approved
the application from Muscle Shoals
City, the ordnance office says other
agreements with the Alabama
Power Company also involve the
use of the water plant and now
urges the citizens Of the munich
pality to agree to buy their water
from the power company and let
it operate the water plant.
This the delegation has refused
as yet to do, and the ordnance Of
flee has asked delay while it in
vestigates the situation more thor
oughly.
Yesterday afternoon the delega-
ton called upon Secretary of War
Davis and urged it be granted the
water permit as we'll as the right to
buy government power.
Charge Monopoly Sought
Speakers told the secretary that
the Alabama Power Company was
trying to get a monopoly and that
they were trying to break up the
high power rates being charged by
the power company in Alabama
cities.
The secretary of war refused to
make any decision and said that
any action was up to the army
engineers. The delegation plans to
put its demands before Maj. Gen.
Edwin Jadwin, chief Of the army
engineers, today.
In case the water and power per-
NIT is granted, Muscle Shoals City
plans to sell electricity to its in
habitants at 81 per month per user.
There will be no meters and a
consumer will be permitted to use
