to the one building. Mr.. Howard
said there was no disorder among
inmates.
The building, constructed OF brick

FIVE PERSONS
DIE IN STORM
Ice Forms on Northwestern
Lakes as Heat Wave
Continues in East.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, July lice formed
on northwestern lakes today in the
wake of storms, which killed five
people, while New York and the
eastern seaboard sweltered in the
seventeenth day of a record heat
wave.
TopcoatS were comfortable in DeS
Moines, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Mil
waukee and Chicago. New York
expected another day such as yes
terday, when the Central park OBJ
servatory recorded 100 degrees on a
thermometer placed in the sun.
In North Dakota the mercury
dropped below the freezing point.
In Minnesota, Montana and South
Dakota it lowered around 40 de-
greeS. Chicago, where world fair
crowds painted in 1O0-degree heat
only last week, expected a maximum
temperature of around IS degrees
today.
Thunder storms and a tornado
which preceded the spreading chill
brought death to five persons.
Two persons, one in Chicago and
another in Tarnov, Neb., were killed
by lightning. A man was killed by a
board ripped from his home by a
small tornado at RoSeland, Neb.,
and woman and a small boy were
crushed by falling trees in Detroit.
In contrast to the western cold,
the mercury stayed high in the los
throughout the night in New York.
Officially the metropolis maximum
temperature yesterday was Cpl de-
grees at p. m. but unofficial ther-
mometers went many degrees high
er. High humidity made life in the
brick and steel canyons misery.
Washington was even hotter, with
an official maximum of SO degrees.
AT Cleveland it was 81 and in De-
troit "a.
The gulf states enjoyed moderate
temperatures, although 100 degrees
was recorded in San Antonio and
SO in Ell PaSo. Phoenix, Ariz., was
the nations hottest spot, officially
at 106 degrees.

Strike Check Sought


MINNEAPOLIS, July Repre-
sentatives of 5000 truck drivers and
their employers met today with the
regional labor board in last min
ute effort to avert paralyzing gen.
eral strike.
Union men roared and stamped
vociferous approval of proposals for
a general strike at mass meeting
last night, but delayed action until
after todays meeting at the request
of Governor Floyd B. Olson.
The general walkout, affecting ap-
proximately $4,000 trades workers,
had been tentatively scheduled for
Monday night. Demands presented
by the truck drivers today are an
outgrowth of their recent riotous
ten-day strike and the truce which
ended it.

the Baden church with Lud-
wig Mueller's Reich church.
The supreme church council,
dominated by Mueller, there
upon dissolved the synod.
The action indicated growing
resistance to Mueller's police in
districts which previously had been
neutral in his drive to build up a
church organization closely knit to
the Hitler regime.
In the reorganization moves, all
the storm troopers are under Viktor
Lutte. successor of Ernst Roehm,
alleged leader of the revolt that
precipitated Germany's bloody week
of reprisals,
Kurt Schmitt, minister of eco
Monies, has been given dictatorial
powers over trade and industry.
Made Labor Gear"
Today Constantin Hierl was given
complete control of the important
voluntary labor service, which keeps
scores of thousands of young men
out of possible trouble in the ranks
of the unemployed.
This takes the labor army from
the jurisdiction of Franz Seldte,
minister of labor and leader of the
Steel Helmet organization of war
veterans which incurred Roehm's
wrath by refusing to be absorbed
into his storm troops.
Seldte received assurance from
storm troop leader Lutte that
there would be no more attacks on
his war veterans and that he would
do his utmost to see that there was
cooperation without friction in the
future.
There were stories today that dis
affected storm troops were going
through Berlin, demanding revenge
for the killing of Roehm. Investi-
cation seemed to disclose conclusive
evidence that this report was I'M
true.
RumOrs Prove False
Two tours of the district, one yes
terday afternoon and another last
night, showed the ordinary police
men patrolling singly instead of in
groups and without carbines. There
was no excitement of any sort.
The district usually is turbu-
lent one, compared to others in the
city, but extensive questioning failed
to disclose any knowledge by any
one that there had been disorder.
Among outstanding runors of the
last twenty-four hours were several
that Hitler had been fired upon
while riding in his automobile and
that he had narrowly escaped as
sassination at Munich.
Attempts to clarity the situation
in connection with these rumors
failed to disclose any substantiation
in official or responsible unofficial
sources.
For example. in connection with
rumors that Edmund Heines, one
of the slain rebels at Munich, had
brandished a revolver in front of
Hitler, the investigation showed:
Heines was arrested after being
caught in compromising circum-
stances. Members of the raiding
party which seized him verified that
he was not armed.
Other rumors denied in RESPONSE
BILE or official sources were that
Hermann Goering had met with an
accident; and that Vice. hancel-
Tor Franz Won Papen had been as
sasSinated

CITY Under Blankets

Comforts and quilts, unused for
many weeks during the recent heat
wave, were dragged from storage
places by chilly citizens last night
as result of the heavy temperature
drop which followed a heavy rain
fall late yesterday and last night.
The rainfall totaled 1.67 inches
here. 1t was general throughout
the state, according to the weather
bureau. Heaviest precipitation re-
ported was at Kokomo, 293 inches.
The rainStorm brought the mer-
curry down to IS during the night.
The weather bureau forecast that
temperature today probably would
not rise beyond the seventies.
Tomorrow was expected to be
fair and warmer" with the tenn
perature probably not going above

FUTURE BRIGHT,
SAYS WOOLLEN
Roosevelt Money Policies
Merit Nations Respect,
Banker Holds.

The Roosevelt administration
fairly has earned the confidence of
the nation in its purpose to with
stand all demands for fiat money,
and sound money is assured.
These statements by Evans Wool
len. president of the Fletcher Trust
Company, featured a review of cur
rent business conditions issued to-
day by the bank. The review was
decidedly optimistic in forecaSting
the future.
Whatever reservations one may
have about the gold reserve act
and the silver purchase act" writes
Mr. Woollen, there has been no
direct initiation of currency.
The administration, confronted
by threatening fiat-money attacks,
has fairly earned our confidence in
its purpose to withstand all such
attacks. Sound money, if not the
SoundeSt, is reasonably assured"
Other promises of a better future
listed by Mr. Woollen follow:
l. The worldwide movement to-
ward economic recovery will carry
America with it.
2. The NRA is correcting it's
faults. as in the service and steel in
dustrieS. and in the matter of
prices generally.
Industry Improves
3. Industrial production, though
tagging in durable goods. has been
moving up per cent a month UNI
til it now is IS per cent of the 1928
1925 average. Factory pay rolls
were up 70 per cent May and I'M
employment was down 400 since
March, 1888
4. Total cash returns to farmers
probably will exceed those of 1882
or 1888 even without the augment
ed benefit payments.
5. The banks now have a surplus
reserve capable of supporting an
expansion of, perhaps, s20,000,000,
which is greater than that before
the 1929 crash.
6. Business activity for May was
placed at 74.2 by the Guaranty Sur
vey and at 804 per cent by the An
naliSt. as compared with estimates
of 81 and TBS for May, 1888.
Lists Disadvantages
Mr.. Woollen. whose forecast on
farm finances also was based on a
Guaranty Survey study, also found
unfavorable factors. These included:
l. Increase in the last five years
of the public debt to $4,000, 900. 900,
an all-time high. coupled with a
decrease in international credit to
new all-time low.
?. A barely tOlerable" burden of
taxes.
3. President RooSevelt's recent
recommendation for social insurance
which. whatever its merits. in
creaSes the uncertainties of an
already uncertain future and SO i'm
pairs confidence"

GAMING RAID STORY
is PROVED IN ERROR
Fisher Not Discharged Cop,
Records Show.

Hiram Fisher, 227 North Capitol
avenue, has asked The Times to
correct a statement carried in a
story publisher July in connection
with a gambling raid on the Clay
pool billiard room
The story referred to Mr.. Fisher
as "a former policeman who was
discharged from the force following
an investigation about five years
ago"
The Times was misinformed, and
was in error when it stated he was
discharged. Records of the safety
board reveal that Harm M. Fischer
resigned from the police force Jan.
10. 1926. The record contains no
reference to any charges being fled
against him, or Of any investigation.

General strikes threatened in

over San Francisco and Portland
today as union labor chieftains,

We are in the fight and we will
see it to a finish.
A general strike would involve
$4,000 union men here and 10000 at
Portland. Starting with teamsters
and street railway employees, it
would paralyze the land commerce
of both cities. Water traffic has
been bloekaded since maritime
workers walked out in a coast-wide
strike, May 9.
Efforts to open the san FRANCISCO
port led to the sanguine waterfront
riots of Tuesday and Thursday and
calling of the national guard.
