blistered. I heard fire engines be-

through my mind, but there wasn't

COPS TO WAR
ON GUN-TOTERS
Almost Forgotten Statute
Is Revived.

Police were handed a weapon by
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker
that may result in an intense drive
to rid the city Of gunner.
An almost forgotten statute was
revived, giving officers authority to
arrest gang leaders and gunner on
sight.
1t provides that all persons for
merly convicted of a felony may be
brought into court if found in pos
session of a deadly weapon.
Judge Baker requested Police
Chief Mike Morrissey and Sheriff
Charles Buck) Sumner to start
vigorous campaigns against profess
Sional gun-toting criminals.
The statute, which carries a max
imum penalty of one to five years
for its violation, has been on the
statute books several years, but
never enforced, Judge Baker an
nounced.
First arrest under the newly I'M
earthed statute was made at the
criminal court door a few minutes
after Judge Baker released Floyd

Temperature of 90 Reached
Here at | O'Clock and
Climb Continues.
SOME RELIEF IN SIGHT
Drop May Come Saturday
Night, but No Rain Is
Forecast.

Heat wave that has held the mid
west in its scorching grip for the
last twelve hours struck Indianap-
oils today as Sweltering blanket,
shattered the previous heat record
for the year and established a new
one Of 90 at p. m.
Only respite from the terrific heat
as the mercury scared and wilted
office workers and pedestrians were
clouds that gathered from the west
and a south breeze that held down
the heat increase early in the after
noon.
However, weather forecasters in
formed Indianapolis and Indiana
that only relief would come If the
entire sky became overcast. No rain
is forecast in the next twenty-four
hours, and the weather bureau said
the heat wave probably will break
Saturday night or Sunday with
changes in air currents.
No Prostrations Yet
The wave already has claimed
two lives in the midwestern area
which it struck Thursday. No
prostrations from the heat had
been reported in indianapolis early
this afternoon.
AS the mercury climbed from 70
at a. m, breaking the former
record Of 90. with 81 at II a. m,
children and their parents fought
their way into swimming pools in
city parks and the two White river
beaches for relief.
Picnic grounds and shady spots
along country roads were the haven
of the heat-driven residents of the
city who we're able to strike for the
country.
Golf courses that had been packed
earlier in the day were deserted by
many players later. due to the ex-
cessive heat.
Conditions Phenomenal
Conditions that brought the ter
rife heat were described as phe-
nomenal by weather experts. IN
dianapolis bureau attaches said they
believed before the afternoon was
ended, the June 10 records set in
1888 and 1913 of 90 might fall by the
wayside. The all-time record for
June is 100, established in 1895.
Unofficial thermometer readings
on downtown streets shortly after
noon showed some as high as lis.
The heat rose in waves from side
walks and streets throughout In
dianapolis.
Entire central west was struck by
the heat Thursday, and today the
high temperatures had carried on
to the Atlantic seaboard. In some
sections, it was reported that the
mercury continued upward during
Thursday night and early today.
The lowest in the last twenty
eight hours in Indianapolis was II.
The mercury halted temporarily at
this mark shortly after 5 a. m. to-
day, after a gradual descent from
SO late Thursday.
