WARS FIRST SHOT
FIRED 20 YEARS AGO
Serbian Youth Shot Down
Archduke on This Day.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Exact-
ly twenty years ago this st. Vitus'
day, Gabirle Princip, crack-brained
Serbian youth, fired the shots that
started the World war.
Before it had ended, thirty-tWo
nations, from the United States to
Siam and San Marine, had been
dragged in; 8,538,OOO lives had been
snuffed out; 21,000,000 more had
been wounded; and, directly and in
directly, 337 billion dollars had been
burned up.
Today, the life of the League of
Nations, the one thing which might
have prevented the coming OF
another baptism in gore, is hanging
by a thread.
Crippled from the beginning by
the absence of the United States
and Russia, it will take something
akin TO a miracle to save it now
that both Japan and Germany have
withdrawn and Italy pays it only
lip-service.
The world, therefore, is right back
where it was on st. Vitus day, 1914,
when Princip's bullets plowed
their way through the body OF
Archduke Franz Ferdinands NOR
eantic wife, Sophie Chotek, and laid
the heir to the Austrian throne in
his grave.
In Europe there is growing con-
viction that there is only one hope
for an effective League of Nations
as the bulwark of world peace.
That hope lies in the United States
and Russia becoming members.
Russia, it is believed, will be ad-
mitted next September. Whether
the United States ever will join, and
if so, when, is as much of a ques-
ton as ever, but American men,
bership is by no means the improb-
ability it once was.

HIGH COURT UPHOLDS
SURET|ES RELEASE
Decision Means Millions
Loss to Government.

The Indiana supreme court, in a
two-to-one decision with two judges
not participating, today held consti-
tutional the action Of the 1888 legis-
lature in releasing sureties on public
deposits where such sureties had
been written personally by bankers
without fee.
The decision came in the case of
the Bolivar township finance board
against Avery Hawkins and others
and involved $4,000, but the opin-
ion actually means the loss of mil
lions of dollars to governmental
units throughout Indiana.
The act, which is retroactive until
1927, was attacked as contrary to
both federal and state constitutions
and as distinctly class legislation.

PETTY LOANS
INTEREST CUT
Order to Firms Expected to
Mean $213,616 Saw
ing Yearly.

Slash in the interest charges on
petty loans, effective Aug. l, was
ordered today by the small loan
division of the state department of
financial institutions.
The general order to all small
loan companies in Indiana will
mean an approximate annual saving
of S236.616.96 to borrowers, accord
ing to Homer o. Stone, supervisor
of the small loan division.
The order increases to 1920, 483.3e
the annual saving to small loar
borrowers since PRONUNCIATION of the
new state financial institutions act
in July 1888, when the monthly in
terest rate first was reduced.
At that time, the small loan rates
we're reduced from a straight 3l2 pei
cent a month to 81 per cent on
sums up to $3.50 and 2l2 on the bal
ance up to $500, the small loan limit
This rate, according to law, was to
prevail until the department OF
financial institutions had studied
the operating costs of small loan
firms and received annual reports
from all companies.
The new general order, based or
this exhaustive data obtained by
the research division. reduces the
M ~imum monthly small loan rates
as follows:
Not more than 81 per cent or
sums up to 500; not more than
q, per cent on sums between S1OC
and 5000. and not more than 2 pei
cent on sums between 5000 and $500
Thus. it is explained by the small
loan division. the equivalent single
rate on small loans has been re-
duced since the financial inStitu-
tions act becomes effective, from
81 per cent on the twenty months
payment plan for $500, first to 3.24
per cent and now to 2.98 per cent

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 27.-Swel-
tering, killing heat hung over
the United States today with
scant hopes of early relief
after exacting a toll of nearly
a hundred lives.
In several states all June records
were shattered as the mercury con-
tinued its upward climb beneath
blazing sun.
Under a summer sun that beat
down on a suffering populace and
parched, withered crops the mercury
rose to we'll above the 100 mark.
Temperatures OF 104 were reported
from number of cities.
The heat wave, following close
upon the worst drought in a genera
ton, was held responsible for
eighty-one drownings and twenty
four other deaths during the week,
according to United Press nation
wide survey.
The temperature reached 81
degrees in Chicago at noon with
100 degrees reported at the Chicago
municipal airport. 1t was 102 at
Springfield, Ill, and Culver, Ind, SO
at omaha and Moline, Ill, 101 at
Sioux City, Ia. 100 at Grinnell, SO
at st. Louis, 100 at Richmond, Ind,
and SO at Kansas City.
The weather bureau said that in
most sections the torturous hot
weather will continue for at least
two days and that the only pros
poets of relief from rain were in
the northwestern states, Minnesota
and the DakotaS.
The greatest toll of life was in
Illinois, where twelve droWnings and
four heat deaths we're reported.
Ohio reported ten drownings and
three other deaths directly attrib-
utable to the humid heat.
The heat, coupled with reports
that corn was whitening on its
stalks in the great farmlands of
Nebraska and Iowa, sent the price
of corn up from IL to nearly 2
cents on the Chicago Board of Trade
Wheat prices rose more than cent,
as also did oats. .....
Highest at Vincennes
Yesterdays highest temperature
reading was los at Vincennes in
/ southern Indiana.
Readings of 1O4 were reported
from Charles City, Ia; Minneapo-

LAWSON ESTATE
 UNDER HAMMER
$S,OOO, 900 Property to Be Sold at Sheriff's Fore

Green Lake, wis-(UP)-The Lawsonla estate on Green Lake, built by tho late Victor L. Lawson. Chicago publisher, at a cost of S5,- 900, 900, soon will be sold at a sher- iff's foreclosure sale.
 Years ago, MT and Mrs Lawson spent their honeymoon at Green Lake and fell in love with the quiet. natural beauty of the place. First, Lawson bought 10 acres and small cottage. Ae few years later the estate had expanded to 1000 acres.
 Ravines were terraced to blos- som with myriad narcissi, daffo- diIs, hyacinths and violets. The en- tire property was surrounded by q quaint stone wall and stone bridges were built along IA miles of paved road.
 The estate included a farm with pedigreed cattle, numerous cot tages and guest houses, golf course and a swimming pool.
 After Lawson died in 1925, the estate was acquired by the H. O. Stone company, Chicago mortgage house, and opened to q select group of summer residents. Tn 1928 q $750,000 clubhouse was erected and other improvements made. Lawsonia was advertised as "the American Deauville."
 With the depression, Lawsonia was deflated. Now the esstate is involved in complicated mortgage foreclosure suits and five former executives of the Stone company have been charged with disposing of $4,500,000 in worthless securi- fina
