By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, Sept. 8—Only in southern and central ‘sections are brows still being mopped and fans plied, cooling breezes, rains and storms having brought moderated temperatures to the rest of the areas held for days In heat’s thrall- dom. Scattering showers were the seeming answers to the special prayers said Sunday in Squth Caro- lina churches in compliance with a prociamation by § Governor McLeod. They brought.a measure of relief to drought-stricken sec- tions after intense heat had _ set records above the century mark. Tropical Storm in Gulf. ' Apparently a tropical storm has moved into the Gulf of Mexico and its influence has been felt in the lower Rio Grande Valley. More than 10 inches of rain fell in two. days in Brownsville, Tex., where low lying sections were flooded and scores of motor tourists were ma- rooned nearby. The entire south- ern and southwesterly sections of the state were drenched to the de- light of farmers and _ cattlemen, who estimated the worth of the drops at their weight in gold. But in the corn belt the hopes of farmers have not been realized, and, weather reports say, are not likely to be for several days. ‘St. Louis leads middle west cities in heat fatalities. Lack of water added to the sufferings of the heat stricken area and constituted a problem in the mountain sections of Tennessee where forest fires have been raging for many days. Fire fighters are seriously handi- capped by a scarcity of water and have had to haul their drinking water for miles. Mines and Rallroads Hampered. Mines and railroads are ham- pered in the Herrin, IIl., section. by a water famine. Residents de- pendent on the city supply are vic- tims of the shortage there and are drawing on neighbors’ welis and cisterns and on supplies brought in Drouth Conditions Continue to Pre- vail in Missouri, By the Aseociated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. %8.— Drouth conditions continue to pre- vail in Missouri today. An official survey and report on damage will probably be made by the State Board of Agriculture within the next few days. A local shower last night caused .05 of an inch precipitation. It was the first rain in this vicinity for 19 days. The shower brought some surcease from the heat, however, for today at 10 a. m. the Government re- cording thermometer registered only 86 degrees, compared with 100 Monday and 106 Sunday. Sun- day's temperature broke all heat records for this part’ of Central Missouri since 1918. By the Associated Prese.

ELECTRICAL PLANT RAZED BY FIRE: LOSS IS $175,000 General Alarm Calls Fire Companies to Killark Manufacturing Co. Fac- tory, 3940 Easton Av. 75 EMPLOYES MARCH OUT OF BUILDING Flames, Probably Due to Spontaneous tion, Break Out in Base- ment—Fireman Hurt. | Fire, starting in the basement of the three-story brick building occu- pied by the Killark Electric Manu- facturing Co., 3940 Easton avenue, at 9:15 a. m. today, was fought by fire companies assembled by a gen- eral alarm, and brought under con- trol only after the building and contents were destroyed, with an estimated loss of $175,000, The fire had its origin, apparent- ly, from spontaneous combustion, in the lacquer room, in the rear of the basement. Smoke filtering into the office on the first floor attract- ed the attention of employes, and Miss Alice Kelly, an office employe, telephoned the alarm. A watchman, also detecting the fire in the basement, gave the alarm throughout the building, and 75 employes, chiefly women and girls, at work on the upper floors. marched out in safety. Among the employes were two blind women-~—Miass Alice Griffith, on the first floor. They were led to safety by a forewoman. Section of Wall Falls, Fire Chief Alt directed five lines of hose on the front of the build- Ing, three lines on the east side and three lines In the rear. Fed by the ‘inflammable materials In the base- ment the entire building was short. ly in flames. A section of a wall and a portion of a skylight fell. slightly injuring a fireman. Traffic, both street car and ve- hfele, was closed on Easton ave- nue, between Vandeventer avenue and Sarah street. The fire attract- ed a crowd of several thousand persons. Loss Partly insured. Joseph Desloge, president of the company, estimated the loss of the building at $100,000, and the los of the stock, consisting chiefly of electric conduits, transformers, switchboards and electric parts, at $765,000. The loss was partly tin- sured. kt An incident of the fire was the death of “Dan,” a fire horse of Company 25, stationed at Sixteenth and Mullanphy streets” “Dan” and his mate made the run for. the greater part of the distance at a gallop, and the exertion, coupled with the extreme heat, proved too much. “Dan” reached the (firs plug and fell dead. He was 10 years old, and had been in the de- partment service six years. The building was constructed in 1900, and was operated for many years as the Liederkranz Beer Gar- den. The manufacturing © company was incorporated for $200,000 In 1918. Its officers are Joseph Des- loge of 20 North Kingshighway, president-treasurer; Louls Desloge, vice president, and Marce! Desloge, secretary. 35 FISHERMEN REPORTED LOST IN TYPHOON IN SULU SEA Five Survivors Bring News of Trag- edy After Battling With Gale Several Days. By the Associated Press.
