Oklahoma City Thirty one
persons are reported to have been
killed by a tornado that swept;
Southwestern Oklahoma and the
southeastern corner tf the Texas
panhandle late Sunday.
A dozen towns were struck and
farming communities suffered.
Communication facilities are
paralyzed and it is impossible to
confirm the reports of life or
estimate the property damaged.
The greatest loss of life report
ed Is at Lugert, wbero It is said
15 persons were killed. A special
train sent from Alius with physi
cians and nurees picked up 10
injured persons and started hack
for Altus.
Two of the injured ones died on
the train.
It ia reported that a Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient train had
beon blown from tbe track and
20 persons killed, but it developed
that only two cars were derailed
and no one was hurt.
The tornado started just across
the Texas border and first killed
several person's atKirkland.Tex.,
demolishing 30 buildings, and

iu disagreement because of the

time of making final proof, and
boldi out for at least one-quarter.
Three members of tbe subcom
mittee are now siding with the
Secretary on this point.
In addition to this, Fisher in
sists upon the Incorporation of
various amendments regarding
power sites, timber, coal and
other minerals, all of which were
voted down in the Uousi and are
objected to by most of the West
ern members.
It is also reported that Senator
Fisher stands ready, as hereto
fore threatened, to recommend
the veto of the bill unless it is
amended to meet his views
Various Western Senators and
members of the House are in
favor of letting the bill die rather
than pass it with restrictions
that will make it inoperative.
The outlook for agreement Is not
encouraging, as the conference
committee appears to be evenly
divided.
