Milwaukee, Wis., June 15.--Eighteen persons a^e known to be dead, and re­ ports of sixty injured filtered in here over partially restored means of com­ munication, as the result of the vio­ lent tornado storm which swept Wis­ consin Saturday Bight from the- SU* sissippi river to Lake Michigan. The storm struck moBt violently in the neighborhood of Ferryville, Wis., where seven persons were killed and eighteen injured, some of whom may die. At Lansing, la., just across the Mississippi from Perryville, five were killed and thirteen injured, two of. them probably fatally.- Two persons were killed at Racine, Wis., and three at Reedsburg. Of the eight others injured at Reedsburg, two were reported to be dying today. One person was killed and three hurt at Baraboo, Wis. Other cities where the storm caused the injury of residents were Oshkosh, Madison, Tunnel City, Sparta and Eau Claire. In addition to this damage, the river steamer Frontenac, bound down the Mississippi, was dashed by the gale into the bridge at Winona and sunk. The steamer was carrying an excur­ sion party, and after the collision the pilot beached the boat, preventing in­ jury or loss of life. The storm at Ferryville was the most serious. This village, between Prairie du Chien and La Crosse, was swept by the storm and practically wiped out of existence. The property loss there alone was $50,000, repre­ senting nearly the entire village valu­ ation, and about $30,000 damage was done at La Crosse. Most of the dead and injured at Fer­ ryville were in two houses, those of J. C. Finley and Francis McManns be­ ing destroyed. The dead are: William Sheely, Chicago; Mrs. J. C. Finley, Leroy Finley, John Leppert. Genevieve Leppert, nine years old, daughter of John Leppert; Unldenti- V^jfied stranger, Mrs. J. C.

INTEREST TO SHIPPERS v v Iifteretate Commerce Hearing on Op­ eration of Great Northern Pacifie Steamship Company. P» & *<•£*'2 '• "l# : K j V ' - * mm, •&<?•.> i' v?"?' • 5 Portland, Ore^ June 12.--Unusual public Interest is centered In the In­ terstate commerce commission hear­ ing to be held in San Francisco June 22, to determine whether or not the .operation of the Great Northern Pa­ cific ^.Steamship company between Portland, Flavel-Astoria and S&a Fransico is in violation of the inter­ state commerce law which prohibtts railroad corporations from owning and controlling stock in competitive steam­ ship lines. Shippers m' the Northwest are interested in the outcome for the reason that the service afforded by the Great Northern Pacific Steamship company between these points is in the nature of direct competition with the Southern Pacific railway, which heretofore has had a virtual monopoly of the freight carrying business be­ tween Portland and San Francisco. The contention of the Pacific coast shippers is that the law under which inviestigation is being made was cre­ ated for the express purpose of pre­ venting railway companies from buy­ ing competitive steamship* for the purpose of eliminating competition, and that an adverse ruling in the case of the Great Northern Pacific Steam­ ship company would result in de­ priving the shippers and travelers of Portland, Seattle, Spokane and other Washington, Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota and California points of the additional service which the two passenger-expresg boats of the line have furnished them. -- -- " - - New Type Pianes for •., % Washington, June 15.--The Trtvy d& , partment announced a contract for two tractor hydroaeroplanes at $12,000 each, to be delivered by the Thomas Brothers' Aeroplane company of Ithaca, N.

The Btate department is tiow en­ caged in preparing data for the use of the president and Secretary of State Lansing in the construction of the note to Great Britain. The note will socn be ready for dispatch to Lon­ don. While reiterating Its earlier state­ ment that this government might be ready to admit that the old form of "close" blockade is no longer practi­ cable, the note will maintain, on two points, that Great Britain's present method of blockade la illegal. These points will be: That Great Britain can find no war­ rant in international law for extend­ ing her blockade to the ports of neu­ tral countries adjoining the enemy territory. That her blockade does not operate against traffic between Scandinavian and* Danish ports and Germany is, therefore, in violation of interna­ tional law, which holds that a block­ ade must apply to all countries alike. The note will then indicate tlie practices of Great Britain with re­ gard to American commerce, which it regards as direct violation of in­ ternational law. This government will state its un­ derstanding of the law to be that non- contraband, even if bound for an enemy port, 1b not subject to interfer­ ence unless a legal blockade is main­ tained; that contraband, if destined for the territory of the enemy, is sub­ ject to seizure, and that , conditional or relative contraband is subject to seizure if Intended to be used by the enemy government, but is not subject to Interference, beyond examination, if intended for the civil population. Great Britain's claim that she !a prepared to pay for these cargoes at the price in which the contracts were made will be answered by the state­ ment that she has no legal right to compel American owners of goods to sell to her.
