STORM VICTIMS 350 DEATH LIST IN THE SOUTH HAS (MOWN RAPIDLY. BADLY INJURED ARE 1,200 Serious Wreckage Reported from Forty-Six T owns--Storm Moved In Three Currents--Relief for Sufferers. New Orleans.--The totals of death, misery and i*uin caused In four south­ ern states by Friday's tornadoes have come to hand in approximately cor­ rect form. Briefly stated they are: Killed, about 350; Injured, painfully or seriously, 1,200; homeless, several thousand. Towns reporting serious wreckage, 46; habitations and busi­ ness houses practically complete ruins in these towns, about 2,500. The above figures do not include the wreckage on plantations and farms, scores of which were struck and dam­ aged. The number of dead nfey never he known accurately for the reason that about 300 of them were negroes and they were buried in many communi­ ties without careful records being made of their numbers. Course of the Tornadoes. By following the wreckage of towns the general direction of the tornadoes can be traced closely. Apparently the storm struck in three separate cur­ rents, each describing the arc of a circle and traveling toward the north- east. The first of these struck through northern Louisiana, Mfssissippi and Tennessee before daylight Friday morning. The second appeared fur­ ther south about seven O'clock in Louisiana and Mississippi. The third portion of the storm appeared Friday afternoon, further south than either of Its predecessors. This was the storm whicfv demolished Amite, La., and Purvis, Miss., the towns in which the wreckage was worst. Why the fatalities were so unusual­ ly large is apparent from a glance at the photographs which have arrived here from many portions" of the tor­ nado belt. They all tell the Bame story. Whole blocks of what were formerly little residences and cabins lie spread over the ground in ruins. Under this mass of wreckage many hundred persons were buried, not one in a hundred escaping without some Injury. The houses which were thus scattered about were mostly negro habitations. Queer Experiences Related. Along with the accounts of suffering have come many recitals of remark­ able experiences of which the follow­ ing is typical. At Amite, La., when the tornado ap­ peared there were Beven persons at the dinner tatile of Hamilton Warn­ er's home, Including three children. One of the diners, Claude Bennett, saw the whirling cloud in time to shout warning, and rushed out doors, but the others remained in the dining- room. The wind tore off two doors on opposite sides of the room and an as­ tonishing procession of live and in­ animate objects began to pass Into the room through these doorways. First came a calf running before the wind. The animal jumped over the dining table and went out the opposite door. Afterward came a t horse which fol­ lowed through the exit taken by the calf. The three children sought refuge under the table and no one was in­ jured. Sunday was a day of relief meas­ ures throughout the wrecked district. The ruined towns have been visited by thousands of spectators, many of whom went with a few dollars in their pockets to distribute among the needy. Sheds made from the wreck­ age have become the homes of hun­ dreds. Small parties of men on horse­ back have gone through country dis­ tricts taking inventories of the assist­ ance needed and rendering aid where it was most necessary. At least a dozen funds have been started in as many cities and towns. Another Tornado Reported. Mobile, Ala., Apr. 27.--A special from Meridian, Miss., says that a dis­ astrous tornado passed through a sparsely settled section of east Missis­ sippi south of that city late Sunday. Meridian also was visited by a re­ markable wind, rain and hall storm, much damage being done to crops and shrubbery. Reports from Causeyvllle say the main tornado passed seven miles below that place. Timber prop­ erties are reported almost devastated. . There is a cruel custom prevailing In many parts of the Telugu country In India in connection with the wor­ ship of the village deities. At the end of a sacrifice a small cart, with four, five or nine pointed stakes stand­ ing upright at the corners and sides, is brought to the image. Pigs, lambs SSd fowls are then impaled alive upon these stakes. The cart is dragged in a procession to the boundary of the village. The unfortunate animals die In agony on the way, and are taken off the stakes when the cart reaches its destination. Speaking of the growing popularity usefulness of newspaper cartoons, an earnest seeker after truth, and the best way of expounding it, desires to see their scope further enlarged and extended. To this end he would have " a blackboard located behind every pulpit and a bit of chalk in an ex pert's hand for the purpose of elu- cidating and illuminating to the con­ gregation the preacher's points touch lng Christian conduct and behavior. We cheerfully pass the suggestion up to the esteemed clergy for their prayerful consideration. Gen. Llnevitch Dead. St. Petersburg.--Lieut. Gen. Llne­ vitch, aide-de-camp to Emperor Nich­ olas and commander of the First Manchurian army, died from pneu­ monia Thursday evening. He had been ill for a little over a week, and on several occasions serious symp­ toms of heart failure had manifested themselves. On Tuesday he had a serious attack of heart failure, from which, however, he recovered satis­ factorily, but Wednesday it was found necessary to perform an operation, after which the patient gradually be­ came weaker. Mail Thieves Get $500,000. London.--The London postal au­ thorities have learned that two bags of mail from this city, containing $500,000, were stolen in New York the latter part of last month. One of the bags was destined for St Louis and was shipped by the Majestic, which ar­ rived In New York on March 26; the other, destined for Brooklyn, was shipped by the steamer Philadelphia, which arrived at New York March 29. Both bags disappeared in transit be­ tween the steamers and the post office. LIQUOR LAW IS HELD VALIB 114,11*018 STATUTE UPHEUP M •• f:;^*H« SUPREME COURT^nW r Meal Option Measure Passed by the Legislature Last Year is De­ clared Constitutional. Bprtngfleld, III.--The supreme court Thursday handed down an opinion In the Jotiu McBride appeal case, hold­ ing that the local optioc law which was passed by the legislature last year is constitutional In every re­ spect The court is unanimous in its decision. Every point on which the law was attacked is gone Into by the court, and no section of it "but what is pronounced valid by the supreme court. The supreme court holds that the title is not defective; that the law does not interfere with interstate com­ merce; that it does not confiscate property, because the saloon keeper Invests in furniture and fixings knowing that he is liable to have his license revoked at any time under the old law, even, and that the new law does not create a$y new offenses. The higher court also holds that the United States stamp is prima facie evidence that the man is engaged in the sale of liquor; that In case of elec­ tions without notice, for which It pro­ vides, such elections. If held, would be invalid, but that this does not invali­ date the act Itself. The supreme court holds that the legislature may create districts like a county or town­ ship, and that if the voters in the district shall decide that intoxicating liquors shall not be sold in the dis­ trict then a village or city in this dis­ trict created cannot permit the sale of liquor. The sale of liquor for medicinal purposes by druggists is never regarded as the saloon business, says the supreme court Regarding the returning of the sa­ loon licenses creating a debt, the su­ preme court holds that when a man gets a saloon license and cannot use it, the municipality issuing the license is morally bound, though not before the passage of the law, legally bound, to pay it back to him. One of the principal objections was that the law permits the legislature to delegate legislature powers to the peo­ ple by permitting people in localities to adopt the law. The supreme court says that from the beginning to the end the supreme court of this state has held that to be legal. DUC DE CHAULNE8 18 DEAD. Husband of Theodora 8honts cumbs to Heart Disease. 8uo- Paris.--In the presence of his bride of less than three months, Emmanuel Theodore Bernard Marie d'Albert de Luynes d'Ailly, ninth duke of Chaulnes and of Picquigny, and marquis of Dan- geau, died suddenly from heart failure at 11 o'clock Thursday night in his apartments in the Hotel Langham, in the Rue Boccador.

Warship Collided with American Llnef St. Paul Off Isle of Wight--Blow to England'# Navy. London.--The total number of dead and missing of the Gladiator's crew as a result of the collision between the American liner St Paul and the Brit­ ish cruiser, off the Isle of Wight Satur­ day, is 28. The admiralty late Sunday night Issued a revised list of the names of the Gladiator victims, which Includes an additional death in the hos­ pital, bringing the total of deaths known up to five. Twenty-three men are missing according to the list, and six are suffering severe injuries. The secretary of the admiralty expresses fear that there are Btlll eight others missing. The opinion among shipping men and naval officars and officials appears to be unanimous that, the accident was unavoidable, being one of the chances of the sea which all seamen must risk. Coming so soon after the loss of the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger, which was sunk by the cruiser Berwick off the Isle of Wight on April 3 last,® 36 men being drowned, the sinking of the Gladiator is a severe blow to the Brit­ ish navy. Southampton. -- Interesting details roncerning the collision between the St Paul and the cruiser Gladiator were told by various of the passengers on the liner. J. T. Hillis of London, speaking of the delay In lowering boats from the St_ Paul, said: "In response to our offer of as­ sistance, the captain of the Gladiator replied that it was not needed. That accounts for the fact that some time --it seemed to me about 20 minutes, elapsed--after the collision before the St. Paul's boats were put in the water. At that time the cruiser was turning turtle. Some of the bluejackets on board of her cried 'Lower your boats.' "The discipline on the Gladiator was magnificent. We could see every man at his post There was no excitement on either ship. One would have thought that it was a moving picture instead of a real disaster." FOUR MINERS DIE; 100 ESCAPE.

The amendment for four battleships was introduced by Senator Piles, and the fight for its adoption was led by Sena­ tor Beveridge. Twenty-three votes were cast for the increased program, the number largely being made up of recently elected senators. Fifty senators voted to support the house and the recom­ mendation of the senate naval commit­ tee in favor of building only two bat­ tleships.

London.--Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman, former British premier, died Wednesday at his official residence, 10 Downing street The end was peace­ ful. The death of Sir Henry after a lin­ gering illness of more than two months did not come as a surprise. Although the doctors' bulletins had not declared his condition critical, that fact was perfectly understood and the public had been expecting the an­ nouncement of his death at any hour during the past fortnight. Sir Henry Compbell-Bannerman was born September 7, 1886. He was the president and a suggestion larger navy might be needed for war. Members of the committee upbraided the Indiana senator for this veiled hint of war with another country, and sought to make him admit that he meant Japan. At times the discussion came near becoming acrimonious, es­ pecially sKarp exchanges occurring be­ tween Senators Aldrich and Beveridge. It was developed by Senator Allison during the debate that there is a well- defined understanding among the sen­ ate leaders for the authorization of two battleships each year, until the American navy is regarded as suffi­ cient to meet any demands that may be made upon it. As finally passed, the bill carries ap­ propriations aggregating $123,115,659, and provides for the fconstructioa of two battleships and two colliers and the purchase of three additional col­ liers, the construction of submarines and other necessary craft, and in­ creases the pay of officers and enlisted men, as well as increasing both the pay and strength of the marine oerps.

IMPORTANT RULING IN IOWA. Attorney General Says Corporations Cannot Retail Liquor. Des Moines, la.--In passing on the application of the Cooperative Com­ pany of Sioux City for a state permit to issue stock, Attorney General Byers Monday ruled that such a permit should not be granted because the proposed corporation expected to en­ gage in the retailing of intoxicating liquors. He declared that it is clear from the mulct laws of the state the legislature never intended that a cor­ poration should engage in the retail Bale of Intoxicating liquors, but that the laws contemplate that the business shall be confined to individuals solely, so that there may be individual, not corporate, responsibility under the law.
