Unaware that a high tension wire
had been blown down by wind,
charging plumbing in the building,
Miller received the fatal shock when
he leaned against a radiator TO
open window.
An attempt by Lieutenant Harry
Gardner of Engine House 8, to pull
Miller from the grip of the current
proved futile as the victims body
was turned into torch momentarily
by electric flames. Gardner was
saved injury by the boots he wore.
Miller was dead when police and
fire rescue squads reached the scene
Less Than $500 Damage
While making his rounds in vicin-
ity of the printing company, Miller
was notified by neighbors that ar
attempt was being made by thieves
to enter the structure. He investi-
gated and saw smoke and flames
emerging on the roof.
With Gardner and Battalion Chief
Otto j. Petty following, Miller led
the way to the second floor of the
structure through dense clouds of
smoke.
At the second floor level, Miller
CROPPED in the darkness for a window
and was killed.
Fire resulting from the fallen wire
on the roof of the structure caused
less than 5000 damage, according to
flremen and James M. Swan, Sec
rotary and treasurer of the COM
pany.
Fire companies and a police res
cue squad first were sent to Walnut
and Delaware streets though an err
ror. Fire officials are probing rea-
son for the misdirected alarm.
Lived Here 20 Years
Only few hours before, Miller
had left his suburban home at R. r
8, Box 594, southeast of Irvington
He is survived by his widow, Mrs
Amalia Miller, and three daughters
Ruth, II; Madalyn, 10, and Ber-
nice, 8.
Miller had been assigned to the
East Tenth street merchant po-
liceman beat for four years, sue
ceeding the father of his wife
Henry R. Schumacher, who died
four years ago.
He had lived in Indianapolis
twenty years, and for several years
resided at 1923 Villa avenue, before
moving to the suburban home. He
was born in Mansfield, o.
He was a member of the Hen
ninger M. E. church, and Brookside
Masonic lodge.

dislodge Chinese at Chaoyang, where
the Chinese commander reported
he had halted two Japanese ar
mored trains.
Chinese officials here demanded
the arrest, on grounds of treason,
of Chinese mllitariSts commanding
ManchOukuo troops.
The activity OF the Manchoukuo
troops, and the concentration of
heavy Japanese forces east of
Shanhaikwan indicated that when
Japan resumes the drive on Jehol
province, the southern route, via
Lingyuan, will be chosen.
On the north, Japanese columns
could move simultaneously into
Jehol through Kailu and Chaoyang.
Chinese feared that the Japanese
advance would be accompanied by
disturbances here and at Tientsin,
precipitated to draw Chinese troops
away from the Great Wall.
The Chinese military continued
plans to resist the Japanese under
orders of Marshal Chang Hseuh-
Liang, young generaiSsimo of the
North China zone, who instructed
all Chinese generals in the field to
prepare for a bitter struggle Cen
eral Wan Fu-Lin, former governor
Of Keilungkiang province, was
