April 2fi. The totals of death, misery and ruin caused in four Southern states by Friday s torna does came to hand today In approxi mately correct form. Briefly stated, they are: Killed, about JtiiO; Injured painfully or seriously, 1200; homeless, several thousand. Towns reporting serious wreckage, 4fl : habitation ft nnd bus In ess-houses, practically complete ruins In these towns, about Con. The above figures do not include the wrecking on plantations and farms, scores of which were struck and dam aged. Many Buried Without Kerord. The number of dead may never he known accurately, because shout 300 of them were negroes snd they were burled. In many communities, without careful reuurds being made of their numbers. While some of the first reports giv ing apparently reliable death-lists have since proved unreliable, nevertheless, remote places lute In reporting their dead have served to hold the total death-list around 3.. The manner in which this death-list Iihs grown for two days, despite con tinued subtractions from early reports, has been a melancholy Index of the Interstate scope of the disaster. Following the wreckage of towns, the genera I direction of I lie tornadoes tan be traced closely. Apparently the storm struck In three square currents, irtch describing the arc of a circle and traveling on toward the northeast. The tirst of these struck through Northern 1,iulspna. Mississippi and Tennessee before daylight Friday morning. The second appeared f art her south a bout 7 o'clock in Ivoulslann nnd Mississippi. This apparently was the portion of the storm which had swept through Ala bama and tJeorftla on Friday night and Fa turday morning. The third portion of the storm appeared during Friday iifternoon further south than either of its predecessors. This was the storm which demolished Amite. Ia.. and Purvis, Miss., the towns in which the wreckage whs worst. Towns lAok Like Lumber Piles. Why the fatalities were so large is a Ppa rent tod a y from a glance at the photographs wb Ich have arrived here from ninny portions of the tornado belt. They nil tell the same horrid f-tnry. Whole blocks of what were formerly little residences and cabins Me spread over the ground in separate boards. f If a hiiRe lumber pile had been scattered over these areas, the number of boards unattached to anything else could scarce ly have been greater. Tnder this mass of wreckage, many hundreds of persons were burled, not one in a hundred escap ing without some injury. The houses w Mch were thus scattered about were mostly negro habitations. The homes of the whites held together better and the photographs show many of them with half the top of the upper part -f the structure wljvd off, but leaving them "below as protection to the occupants, thus saving scores from death. nlf Blown Through Dining-II all. Along with the accounts of suffering have come recitals of many remarkable experiences, of which this is typical: At Amite-, Ia., when the tornado ap peared there were seven persona at the dinner table at Hamilton g arner's home, Indudini three children. One of the diner.", Claude Dennett, saw the whirling rtmid hi time to shout a warning and rushed out doors, but the others re mained In the room. The wind In a second tore off two doors on opposite nides of the room and an astonishing procession of live and inanimate objects hgan to rsss into the room through these doorways. First came a calf, run ning before the wind. The terrified ani male Jumped over the dining table and went out of the opposite door. After ward there came a horse. The three children sought refuge under the table and no one was injured. Today has been one of relief measures throughout the wrecked district. The ruined towns have been visited by thou sands of spectators, many of whom went with a few dollars In their porket to dis tribute among the needy. Huts built lrom the wreckage have become the homes of hundreds. Investigators are going through the country districts taking notes of help necessary. At least a doren relief funds have been started in as many cities and towns. In North Alabama, 29 Bond. fUK.MlXGHAM, Ala., April 2 latest reports from the storm section of North REDUCED Alabama show a total death list of 29. while the number of seriously injured will reach nearly 2i0. The storm passed through Blount County, visiting places far remote from railroads and telegraph, from which reliable reports have not et been received. STORM STRIKES ALABAMA Heavy Damage In Fort Deposit. Governor Calls Out Trops. ATLANTA. Ga.. April 2. Belated re ports from Alenclon, Miss., say that 15 persons were kilted in that neighbor hood and a number of others injured in Friday's cyclonic disturbances. Much property destruction was also reported. Mrs. J. C. Coleman, a 6-year-old child of W. E. Bobbo, and Emmet Ruese! died in a hospital at Albertville today as a result of Injuries received In Friday's storm, making a total of 11 whites and two negroes dead at that place. A second violent storm swept Fart Deposit, Ala., today. Several residences were blown down and a large negro school building was completely demol ished. Governor Comer has declared martial law for the town, and a com pany of militia is now on duty. FATALITIES IX PERRY COUXTY Fifteen Persona Reported Killed During Friday's Cyclone. HATTTE9BURG.

WHITE COLOR TO BLAME Had Cruiser Been Painted An) Other Color She Might Hare Been Seen Throug-h Snow Careful Lookout Was Maintained. OFFICIAL LIST OF VICTIMS. PLYMOUTH, England. April 28. The Admiral commanding the port . station has issued a list of the vic tims of the collision between the Cruiser Gladiator and the American liner Saint Paul, off the Isle of Wight yesterday, aa follows: Drowned, bodies recovered Cow dry, first writer; Wrldgery and Ste barries, stewards. Injured One seaman, since died in Golden Hill hospital; seven injured still in hospital. Missing Lieutenant G. H. 'Graves, five petty officers and 17 able seamen and stokers. Total number of vic tims. 34. The Mayor of the city has Issued an appeal to England for aid for the sufferers of the Gladiator and the torpedo-boat destroyer, which was re cently destroyed. SOUTHAMPTON, April 26. Interesting details concerning the collision between the St. Paul and the cruiser Gladiator In the Solent yesterday and of the rescue of the men of the British cruiser, were told today by various of the passengers on the liner. J. T. Hillis, of London, speaking of the delay in lowering boats from the Bt. Paul, said: , "In response to our offer of assistance, the officer of the Gladiator- replied that It was not needed. About 20 minutes, It seemed to ran, elapsed beiore the St. Paul s boats were put into the water. AU that time the Gliadiator was turning tur tle. The bluejackets on her cried: Tor God's sake, lower your boats!' As the vessel heeled over, we could see the blue Jackets clinging to the uppermost side, and those who failed to get a sure hold clipped into the water. "The discipMne on the Gladiator was magnificent. We could see every man at his post. " There was no excitement what ever on either ship. One would have thought that it was a moving picture. Instead of a real disaster. It was lucky that the collision happened so close to land. That very fact gave the seamen and passengers more chance for life." St. Paul In Great Danger. The passengers upon the St. Paul, who acted so coolly during the trying few minutes following the collision, could hardly have realized the extreme danger In which they stood. They were assured by the officers, who hurried among them directly the boats came together, that there wn no danger, but the condition of the steamship's bows disclosed at the dock shows that she narrowly escaped the fate of tbe Gladiator. As it was, tbe St. Paul was more seriously damaged than at first supposed. She shipped a great amount of water as she backed away from the cruiser, and all her pumps were kept going to their full capacity. The damaged bows of the St. Paul in dicate that she forced her nose at least 20 feet through the cruiser's side, but for tunately the greatest damage she re ceived was above the water Hue. The bowpost was buckled, while the plates on both the port and starboard bows were crushed in. and gaping cracks extended along the side. Along the water line the paint has bren scratched away, but downward there is no apparent damage, although holts must have been started, which would account for the water pour ing into her hold. Accident Was Unavoidable. Captain Passow and the first, third and fourth officers were upon the bridge-with Pilot George Bowyer, the American Company's reRular pilot, at tbe time of the accident, and the closest lookout was being kept, two men being stationed In tbe bow and two in the crow's nest. Neither Captain Passow or any of his officers would discuss the accident, pre ferring to wait until they submit their reporis to the proper officials. It is learned, however, that Captain Passow Is sorely grieved at the disaster, this being his first serious mishap. A friend who has been much with the captain of the St. Paul since his return here. In speaking of the collision and doubtless giving the skipper's version of it, said that it could not he avoided. The snow was falling so constantly that It was im possible to see a yard ahead. It was far worse than the thickest fog. The weather had been clear before the St. Paul left her dock, hut snow began to fall as soon as the Solent was reached. Tt was then impossible to stop, as a very strong tide was running, which might have carried the steamship on the rocks. The only alternative was to go ahead and keep the closest lookout, and this, be explained, was done. Had the cruiser been painted any other color than white she might have been seen earlier and the collision avoided, but Great Britain has decided that warships attract less attention when thus painted. From an officer of the St. Paul, who did not wish to be quoted, it was learned that a slight delay in getting out tbe boats, of which there has been complaint, was due to snow falling constantly. The boats had to be cleared away hefore they could be manned, every member of the crew. Including the cooks, lending a hand. The btats, when lowered, were manned partly by steward, a It was necessary to keep many of the able sea men aboard to assist In repairing the damaged bows. ADM III ALT V LIST NCMBEIIS 28 1 tial Court or Inquiry to Be Held tin Gladiator Disaster. LONDON. Aoril 26. The total number of dead and missing of the Gladiator's crew, as a result of the collision between the American Line steamship 3t. Paul and the British cruiser off the isle of Wight. Is 2fc. The Admiralty late tonight Issued a revised list of the names of the Gladiator victims which includes an ad ditional death In the hospital, bringing the total of deaths known up to fiv,e. Twenty-three men are missing, accord ing to the list, and six are suffering severe Injuries. The secretary of the Admiralty expresses fear that there are still eight others missing but Is unable to give the names as yet. Divers today searched part cf the sunken cruiser for bodies, but were not successful in finding any. The opinion among shipping men and naval officers and officials appears to be unanimous that the accident was un avoidable, being one of the chances of the sea which all seamen must risk. There will be the usual naval court and an in quiry by the Board of Trade. The officers of both ships refuse to discuss the affair until they have given their testimony officially. AH witnesses of the disaster aeree practically that both crews behaved a s wel 1 a s possl bl e. 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 British navy Rough weather prevails In the Channel today and many of the Channel steamers were unable to make their usual trips to the continent. HEROIC RESCUE WQRK DONE Royal Engineers Render Aid Story of Disaster by Sailor. YARMOUTH. April 26. Heroic service in rescuing the Gladiator men was ren dered by the Royal Engineers at Fort Victoria. Several of them put out in two small gigs Immediately after the collision and picked up as many of the sailors as they could find in the water, although several men sank within their sight. Corporal Stenning and others of the engineers, swam boldly into the raging sea and rescued some of the most ex hausted of the sailors. The survivors were cared for overnight at the residences of officers of th Engineers' Corps. To day they and the rescued seamen 'have recovered from their thrilling experience. A seaman who was employed In the Gladiator's canteen said, in speaking of the accident: "Tt happened at a quarter of 3 o'clock, during what we call grog-tlme.' A lot of us were in the canteen, when we heard a horrible grinding noise and the vessel heeled over so that we were thrown off our feet. We made for the upper deck as fast as we could go, but there was no disorder. When we reached the deck we saw that a steamship was into us amid ships, and when she drew out she left an awful hole, nearly 4n feet deep. The snow was so thick that It was impossible to see anything on the water. "Two of our boats were forced free by the collision and two others were so dam aged as to be useless. It seemed a long time before boats were lowered from the St. Paul, and In the (meantime some of our men had jumped into the water to swim . ashore. They must ' have been nearly frozen. Besides, there was a strong sea running. This proved too much for some of them and they clung to float ing things until rescued." Passengers Sail on TeiAon.c. CHERBOURO, April 26. The passen gers who were to have sailed by the steamship St. Paul to New York were taken by the White Star liner Teutonic, which will Fail on Wednesday. BLOODY FIGHT IN CABIN Drunken Indians in How. One Dead, Another a Fugitive. TACO.MA, Wash.. April 26. (Special. ) A genera! fight among men. "women and children, ending in the slaying of George Nason and the turning of Jim Mowltch Into a fugitive from Justice, occurred Sat urday night, when the families of the two men. both of whom are Indians, en gaged In a quarrel at their homes on Willochet Bay. Apparently there was no particular starting point to the troubla and the tragedy is attributed by the au thorities to the intoxicated condition of the principals. Although the hilling took place Satur day night. Sheriff Tom Morris was not notified until today, when he took Imme diate steps for the capture of the mur derer. The cabin presented a sickening ap pearance. Walls, ceiling and floor were drenched with blood of the young boys, women and men. Broken bits of crock ery, blackened with congealed blood, lit tered the floor, while the overturned stove and broken furniture added to the disorder. Br-ing without funds and probably" half dead from loss of blood, it is believed the capture of Mowiteh will' be but a question of hours. EIGHTY MILES TOO MUCH Rather Than Hide It Daily, Surveyor Marries the Girl. NEW WKSTMINSTKH. B. C April 2. (Special.) A romance of long-distance courtship culminated this week In the mariage of Miss Hattle Hirst, of Nanaiino. and W. Marpole Stokes, nephew of R. Marpole, greneral super intendent of the western .livision of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Young stokes had for several mJnths past been engaged In survey work along the proposed ft.

Stokes has kept his promise to visit his sweetheart nightly, tiding 30, 4.1. fio and during the last two weeks, SO miles every evening.

He said he thought they had probably been wrongly labeled. ANSWERS THE SOCIALISTS Taft Replies That They Misquoted His Remarks on Labor. WASHINGTON. April 26. Secretary of War Taft tonight said: "My attention has been called to the ar-tlon of the New York section of the Socialist party in respect to certain al leged utterances of mine in a recent speech before the Order of Railroad Conductors in Chicago. In the report I am made to say: 'There Is no denying- the fact that we must look forward to (?reat controversy between labor and capital, hoplny and trusting that it will be settled peaceably.' . "This is not an accurate report of what I said. Z have the stenographic notes' taken of whst I did say. What I said was this: That unless laborers united Into organizations the laborer would stand no chance In that inevit able controversy that we always hope will be peaceful, but that must exist that inevitable controversy as to how labor and capital shall share th Jldnt product of both. "From nothing I said could the infer-, ence be drawn that I was prophesying a gigantic controversy In the future. J was only referring to an existing and always present condition, an ever-recurring controversy." . AT THE HOTEIS. The Portland. Peek ford Rhoades. wp and child; II. M. Taylor, W. R. Hvnell. F.
