LARGE AREA IS
THREATENED BY
SEVERE FLOODS

NlNCENNES, Ind, Jan. II. W.P)
The most devastating flood since
1913 inundated thousands of acres
of farm lands in Southern Indiana
today as rain choked rivers left their
banks.
The Wabash river here, running
nearly eight feet above flood stage
was within foot of the high water
mark of 1913 and the peak had not
been reached. At Elliston the water
was four feet above flood stage and
was four and half feet above at
Seymour.
Patrols watched the lcvee here,
fearing an overflow. Damage to un-
harvested corn was heavy and win.
ter wheat paintings were washed
away.
AT Washington, up ON the White
river, the muddy tide surged over
bottom lands while farmers protest
ca a proposed levee to protect their
lands. Proponents arejIed it's cost
would not equal the loss already
caused by the flood.

DITTSBURGH, Aug. 21.-This
L city's great skyscraper sea-
thedral of learning"-the project
ed forty-story home of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh-slowly, but
steadily, is emerging from dream
to reality.
The buildings steel framework,
completed last fall, rises 524 feet
above the street. Masonry work
has reached the eighteenth floor;
and while it may be years before
the building finally is completed,
the job that was begun in 1926
is far enough along now so that
Chancellor John G. Bowman, who
conceived of the giant structure,
can see the creation of his ina
gination taking form.
More than 5000 tors of steel
have gone into its framework. 1t
will contain 105 classrooms, each
accommodating from thirty to
ninety students and fourteen lee
ture rooms, each one capable of
seating from 200 to 500 students.
1t will have fifty-two labora-
tories and twelve department
libraries.
1t will be possible for it to &C
commodate 5000 students at one
time.
Twelve floors still are unclassi-
fled, leaving plenty of room for
expansion. Its foundations go
down sixty-five feet below the
street level.
Architecturally, the building will
dominate Pittsburgh-already does
dominate with its high skeleton
of Orders. 1t rises in series of
setbacks, artistically balanced,
which contribute both to its
strength and to the beauty of its
design.
When Chancellor Bowman came
to the university ten years ago
he found the students inadequate
ly housed in buildings scattered
over a hillside campus. He con-
ceived the idea of great new
building that would tower toward
the sky-a building of steel, fit
ting in the country's greatest steel
center.

NEWCASTLE, Ind, Aug. 21.-The
body of Mrs. Carrie Huddleston, 81,
was found burned to a crisp on the
kitchen floor of her home, five and
one-half miles west of Newcastle,
Wednesday night.
Turner Huddleston, SO, her hus-
band, who reported finding the body,
was in jail today, while Coroner
Ralph Niblock of Middleton con-
tinued his investigation.
Turner reported that he had been
in Newcastle all day Wednesday and
upon returning home at z p. M,
found the body.
The fact that the body was
burned to crisp all over and that
there was no evidence of fire in the
kitchen, together with the peculiar
testimony of the husband and the
statement made by his son, Arthur
Huddleson, Of near Spiceland, Henry
county, caused the coroner to order
his arrest.
The husband gave as his theory
that the kerosene stove exploded.
Coroner Niblock, however, could
find no evidence of an explosion or
fire except the crisp body.
Arthur HuddleSon is said to have
told the coroner his father often
had threatened to kill his wife.
The body was burned so badly a
poSt-mortem practically is i'm

MOB KILLINGS
END HOPE OF
WARDEN Job
Marion Sheriff No Longer
Considered for Post at
PendIeton, Says Leslie.
NEGROES VOICE DEMAND
Urge Indiana Should Ike
Stand Against LynChing
as in Texas.
BY DAN NJ. KIDNEY

Sheriff Jacob Campbell of Mar
ion, Ind, Grant county Republican
chairman, no longer is being con-
sidered among applicants for the
position of superintendent at the
state reformatory at Pendleton,
Governor Harry G. Leslie told The
Times today.
Campbell sought to succeed Su-
perintendent A. F. Miles, whom Les
lie has been threatening to replace
ever since taking the governorship.
One of the chief hackers Of Camp
bells cause has been L. o. Chasey.
Marion, the Governors secretary.
Tried to Stop Ogden
Chasey's friendship for Campbell
is said to have caused him to try
to prevent Attorney General James
M. Ogden from prosecuting Camp
bell in connection with the lynch
ing of two Negro prisoners in Mar
ion Aug. 7.
So obvious have been Chasey's
efforts to protect Campbell, it is
said, that one of the members OF
Negro delegation calling on the
Governor Wednesday, objected to
Chaseys presence at the conference.
Although Chasey was on hand 10
hear every word, he offered no de-
tense for the sheriff.
Leslie said today that while
Campbell was an applicant for the
Pendleton superintendency, he no
longer is being considered. He
intimated that Campbells appllca-
ton never had been considered very
seriously
Cite Texas Attitude
The Negro delegation, composed
of Indianapolis and Marion resi-
dents. urged that Indiana at least
should take as active stand against
lynching as Texas has.
After a lynching in Sherman,
Tex, four persons, who led the moo'
were arrested and placed in jail the
very next day." G.. N. t. Gray Oh
indianapolis told the Governor.
1T now has been two weeks since
the lynchings occurred at Marion
and no arrests have been made.
"The idea that Negroes would
blow up the jail if some OF the MOB
men are lodged there is a myth.
Negroes are not given to reprisals.
They have no record of attempting
mob rule"
Warned in Advance
The delegation was headed by
Mrs. w. T. Bailey, Marion, presl-
dent of the Indiana conference OF
the National Association for Ad-
vancement Of the Colored Race.
She presented a petition citing the
fact that Sheriff Jacob Campbell Oh
Grant county had been warned wei
in advance of the danger OF mon
violence. refused to remove the
prisoners and therefore should be
busted because of failure to perform
his duty and live up to his oath ol
Office. o,,
Speedy punishment for the mon
leaders also was urged in the petl-
tion. which asked that the Cover
nor use his prestige and authority.
Empha sizes Race Problem
Emphasizing the race problem in
VOWED, Mrs. Bailey later told the
Governor there were two white men
in the jail at the time, charged
with attacking a young motherless
girl. but they we're unmolested.
The fact Of lynching is prima
facie evidence of the sheriff hav-
ing failed to perform his duty, un-
der Indiana law, and the attorney
general has the power to remove
and have him tried.

COUNTY HOLDS
1881 TAX LEVY
At 50 CENTS
Pending Slash by Council
May Permit Lowering
Tentative Rate.
S117,500 CUT POSSIBLE
Reduction in Salaries Of
Eight County Judges
Held Probable.

Marion county tax rate for 1881
was set tentatively at SO cents to-
day by County Auditor Harry Dunn,
pending council action on possible
IL cents reduction in the general
fund.
The new rate, as it now stands, is
the same as last year and is based
on a 100000 decrease in assessed
property valuation. If the council
Slices another $117,500 from the
budget, which is considered prob
able, the rate for 1881 would drop
to 361a cents.
Under the tentative rate, the gen.
eral fund is 1912 cents, Il cent less
than the current rate; sinking fund,
ID cents, l cent higher than 1880;
free gravel road fund, 2 cents, a re-
duction of u cent. The tuberculosis
fund remained at 2 cents.
Increase Is Refused
Dunn said he is not prepared to
reveal departments of the govern
ment affected by the $4,000 cut, al
though it is probable, commission
ers say, that decrease of $1,000 IN
the salaries of eight county judges
is included.
Several cuts were thought to be
made in the salaries of minor clerks
in various offices.
Decrease in the free gravel road
tax was made as result of increased
revenues due the county from state
gas tax funds. The 21a cents tuber-
culosis levy remains tentatively at
the same figure, despite efforts OF
the institutions board to increase
the revenue for expansion purposes.
Councilmen have indicated a
policy of rigid economy.
Miese to Study Draft
If recommendations of Dunn and
commissioners are followed, the
council will be able to drop the gen.
eral fund levy to Is cents. The rate
this year is 90, cents.
Dunn said HE will be prepared
next week to account for the 1-cent
raise in the sinking fund levy. The
1880 figure is 13 cents.
Strictest care was paid in study
of budget requests of all depart
ments, and efforts were made to
stem extravagancies wherever they
were uncovered, Dunn said.
Harry Miese, secretary of the
Indiana Taxpayers Association, said
a study will be made of the ten
tative rate draft before it is sub
mitted to the council for final &C.
ton.
