STATE CROPS
SAVED BY Rain
Farmers, City Residents
Welcome Relief.

Indiana crops valued at millions
Of dollars have been saved by rain
Saturday and Sunday that broke a
weeks wave of heat and dryneSS.
From all parts Of the state today
came optimistic reports from farm
ers who had feared ruin of the
crops, due to the drought. They
said in many places corn had be-
gun to wither, but that the weather
break will save the crop.
Outlook for more rain today here
and in the south part Of the state
gave a brighter prospect.
Rising to 81 Saturday afternoon,
a sudden wind and rain storm
brought the mercury down to min
imum of 10 during the night. The
sun was hot early Sunday and the
temperature had risen to SO before
afternoon rains broke its rise. Min
imurn in the last twenty-four hours
was 70.
Rain that fell early today boosted

gate to .98 inch.
Rains ranging from few hun
dredths to 2.52 inches in various
parts of the state have dampened
thoroughly the upper surfaces of
farmlands.

declared. Many crops, including
corn, had begun to wither and the

Delay of Hour Caused by

of Coppers.
BY EDWARD c. FULKE

Indianapolis new tow-in law COM
mitted its first grave blunder today.
AS a result a woman narrowly es-
capped suffocation in a downtown
restaurant and an emergency work
man, called to fix a threatening
leak in a refrigeration plant, was
forced to stand helpless because his
car was towed in.
Mrs. Mary Curry, SO, of 1850 East
Sixteenth street, hostess at Ye Olde
Boarding House, 38 North Pennsyl-
vania street, is recovering from the
effects of gas inhaled in a dressing
room as she prepared to go on duty
today.
She escaped possible serious lung
injuries, when her screams attracted
workers to the store as she fought
for breath in the basement of the
restaurant.
Repair Truck lowed In
While Jack Line, manager of the
store, braved the gas to remove Mrs.
Curry from the basement, P. E.
Wright, 518 North LaSalle street,
owner, hastily summoned repair
men.
G. J. Granger, 811 Linwood ave-
nue., an employe of the Banquet
Ice Cream and Milk Company, was
sent hurriedly to the downtown
store.
Granger double parked in front
Of the restaurant, and, grabbing
a wrench from a tool KIT, hurried
to the basement. He said he ex-
amined the leak, and returned at
once to the emergency car for more
tools
1t was gone. The car had been
towed in.
Delayed for Hour
For almost an hour, Granger
waited at the restaurant while an
assistant sought to find the car,
coupe, and return with special tools.
The choking sulphur dioxide gas,
meanwhile, drove patrons and en-
Ployes from the store, gasping for
breath.
Eleven mattresses and six men, en-
ployes of the store, were being
treated by physicians when repair
tools finally were returned from the
car.
Its peculiar that the two-in law
functioned so perfectly just at this
time" Wright said. THE repairman
had been here only a minute" he
declared.
ANY other time, I could go out
and find you all the double-parked
cars you want, and they'd still be
there" Wright said Indignantly.

Tonight the city council is to act
on amendments to the ordinance,
among which will be one reducing

By United Press
LONG BEACH, Cal, July 20.
"A group of friends and rela-
tives were gathered in the
home of Ralf Shafer. Happily
they offered their congratula-
tions over the birth of Skaters
newest son.
Shafer sat apart, apparently
uninterested in the exC 'tement
over the new boy. Now and
then his glance wandered to
the cupboard, which only he
knew was empty, and which
even his children did not re-
alize he could not fill again.
While the friends and rela--
tiveS crowded happily about
the bed upon which lay Mrs.
Shafer and her newborn son,
the father slipped quietly from
the house. An older child,
missing him, went to investi-
gate, and returned screaming
in terror, to the house.
The fathers body was found
on the garage floor. He had
shot himself through the head.

Civic Leaders File Suit to
Have Club Lease
Ruled Invalid.

Years-old battle of north side
taxpayers for possession of the
Woodstock Country Club property,
Thirty eighth street and North
western avenue, was taken to court
today by civic leaders who have led
the fight.
Injunction suit was filed III SUI
perior court two against the club
and the park board, alleging the
property has been leased to the
club by the board while it originally
was purchased for park use.
The complaint also sets out that
taxpayers have been ordered from
the property. An exclusive club,
use Of the grounds always has been
limited to members or their friends.
Details Are Set Out
Details of the lease whereby the
club retains the ground by paying
the city enough to cover interest on
bonded indebtedness are set out in
the case. Original lease facts and
others relating to renewal of the
title until it now extends to 1910
also are set out.
For many years, residents of the
north and northwest sides have
sought the park board to cancel the
lease and TO devote the tract and
buildings to park use. They claim
this section Of the city is without
park facilities.
The suit asked the court to enjoin
further operation of the lease, de-
claring it invalid.
Complicated Legal Problem
Trial Of the case will bring up
one Of the most complicated prop
erty legal questions in years. Plain
tiffS will show, they say, the city is
paying taxes to maintain the land,
that public taxes paid for the tract
and that the park board has de-
Waited entirely from the purchase
purpose.
Plaintiffs in the suit, all of whom
have been active in the civic league
battle before the park board, are
Gustav G. Schmidt, James R. Cox,
Herman Abel and Ross S. Ludlow.

entry.
All pilots were handicapped by
intermittent rains and winds that
beat the big bags about. The rain
soaked the fabric, forcing them out
of higher attitudes.
All of the balloons were forced
