TOWNSHIP FIGHTS
SCHOOL TERM CUT

Citizens of Warren township to-
day are preparing to battle threat
ened reduction of the Warren town
ship high school term from nine to
eight months for the coming year.
They have asked the township
advisory board to take court action
against w. H. Cooper, former trus-
tee, who, the state board of accounts
charged wasted school funds by ex-
ceSsive and illegal expenditures"
Financial condition of the town
ship is such, according to Charles
M. Walker, present trustee, that a
reduction of the school terms seems
the only way out of chaos.
This will endanger rating of the
Warren school, classed as one of the
best rural high schools in the state,
and will affect credits of next years
graduates, it is said.
Citizens are seeking a way out
Of the dilemma and have appealed
to county officials for advice on
their taxing limits for school pur-
poses. An appeal also is to be made
to state officials.
THE township must pay approx
mately $4,000 in back debts" ac-
cording to Walker, land can not
increase its 1882 budget"
Cooper's handling of school funds
was criticised by the state board of
accounts examiner.
He made illegal payments from
the dos tax fund and exceeded his

on Outsiders.

Foreigners are not welcome-and
shall not pass our shore line to take
a bath!"
Especially when they don't want
to pay for the hospitality, the Raw
enSwood town board decided TODAY
by excluding all persons from the
Ravenswood beach except town resi-
dents.
This was the boards retaliation
against a court injunction.
The board will erect a high, wire
fence to bar all outsiders-because
Judge Joseph R. Williams of SUI
perior court three ruled the board
can not collect beach fees.
Charles o. Ford, board member
stated the fence will be built at
once and we are going to appeal our
case to the supreme court"
From three to four thousand bath
erS from indianapolis and environs
visit the beach each night. The
board sought 10-cent fee on each
bather and revenue from merchants
in RavenSWood.
Judge Williams held the town was
without power to tax for revenue.
The legislature gave towns the
right to tax for police purposes. but
not for revenue" Judge Williams
decided.
The town board complained it had
right to control the beach, charg-
ing the noisy, splaShing crowds dis

City AWakenS to BIiSterinq
Day After Discomfort of
Torrid Night.
DOUBT EARLY RELIEF
Showers May Fall Satur-
day, Is Slight Hope Held
Out by ForeCaSter.
Hourly Temperatures

Depressed by humid night, In
d1anapolis was sweltering through
another day Of a weeks heat wave,
from which no relief is in sight
for at least twenty-four hours.
Subsiding to n degrees at 5 and
s this morning, the thermometers
of the United States weather
bureau here shot upward shortly
after the sun began beating on the
city and at showed 80 degrees,
II degrees above normal. At p. m.
it was 90 degrees.
BY 3 or a this afternoon, the
mercury doubtless will have sur
passed Thursdays maximum tenn
perature Of 95 degrees, and weather
bureau officials admitted the posi-
bility that temperatures may equal
or exceed the summers record of
98.4 degrees.
Overcast skies, with unsettled
weather conditions that were ex-
pected two and three days ago,
probably will afford some relief from
the heat Saturday, j. H. Arlington,
senior meteorologiSt at the bureau,
said this morning.
Relief Is Probable
In northern Indiana there is
probability of showers, and light
rains may fall on scattered dis
tricts throughout the state How
ever, there will be no general rains,
needed for crops, and probably no
precipitation in the Indianapolis
district, Arlington said.
Two cities in the state Thursday
reported temperatures of 100 de-
grees or higher. The peak was at
Wheatfield, where 102 degrees were
reported. Madison blistered under
100 degrees.
Humidity here today added to
discomfort from the heat. 1t was
76 at 80 degrees, and at 80 de-
grees should not exceed Is or 30
to afford any comfort with that
heat, Arlington said
The heat wave has but one saw
ing grace. Ordinarily the high
temperatures, ruthless sun and &C
companying drought would damage
crops seriously, but this wave hit
the agricultural belt just after COM
paratively heavy rains.
Crops Not Hard Hit
Crops, thought at first to have
suffered, will not be damaged if
rains arrive within a few days.
However, continued drought would
ruin the corn crop.
Human discomfort from the heat
probably will be greater today than
any other day this week Three
prostrations have been recorded in
the city since the wave began.
Bathing pools and beaches, parks,
highways at night, all outdoor gath
crings after sunset have indicated
the intensity of suffering. All have
been crowded
Thousands we're admitted to mu-
nicipal swimming pools Thursday
night, and beaches on White river
were damned with others seeking
refuge from the depressing weather.
A small girl drowned in deep hole
Thursday afternoon while wading.
