LITTLH ROCK. Ark., Nov. 23. A dis
patch from Russellvllle, Ark., says that
ton or twelve persons were killed In a
tornado which swept through the settle
ment of Plney. ten miles west of that
place, late today, and that about 3D others
were Injured.
Dispatches also report that the towns
of Wellertown and Jessro. In Franklin
County, were practically demolished and
that several persons were killed In each
place. The names of the dead and In
jured are not known at Russellvllle.
where only vague and Indefinite reports
have been received thus far.
The report states that the tornado
crossed the Arkansas River Just south of
Plney and that timber tracts and a num
ber of buildings were destroyed. Plney Is
located near London, where first reports
stated much damage had been done.
Ijiter reports from Berryville are to the
effect that no one was killed there, but
that three were Injured.
It was reported at Van Buren that five
persons were killed northeast of Mul
berry and a number Injured. Because
of the remoteness of these towns from the
railroad and telegraph, only the most
meager reports are available.
OKLAHOMA HAS REMORSE
Finds Stringent Laws Prevent the
Building of Railroads.
CHICAGO. Nov. IS. (Special.) A
marked change in public tsentlment
toward railroads and other public
utility corporations Is reported In Ok
lahoma. It has been brought about
by a bitter experience, but tne lesBon
learned thereby Is all the mor likely
to be profitable and permanent. For
nearly two years there has been an
almost entire cessation of railroad
building, so far as the trunk line sys
tems are concerned. This condition
haa hindered general business to such
an extent that the Oklahoma Federa
tion of Commercial Clubs has taken
up the matter. A circular has been is
sued by that body setting forth the
facts In this regard.
It has been demonstrated clearly to
the satisfaction of the federation that
new capital cannot be attracted . for
Investment In the state until the laws
are settled upon a fair and conserva
tive basis, so that the capital invested
may have reason to expect lerltlmate
returns.

WIRELESS GRAMS SECRET
Transmission Now Confined Be
tween Two Stations Only.
PARIS. Nov. 23. Bellini and TosI,
two Italian scientists, who with the
sanction of the French government have
been conducting experiments In wireless
telegraphy for the past 18 months on
the coast of NormRndy. announce that
they have solved the problem of Inde
pendent wireless communication. -
This result, they say. has been se
cured by means of rectangular aerials
fixed at right angles and so attached to
the apparatus as to permit the trans
mission of unequal currents. By a sim
ple law of mechanics these two electro
magnetic forces unite and produce an
electro-magnetic field and the Hertzian
waves are projected In a single vertical
plane which can be alternated Instantly
by means of the Bohlne device.
The Inventors say they hare picked up
messages at wll lfrom every English
wireless station and from ships at,, sa.
and that they have transmitted mes
sages from Pourville to Havre and other
points without the waves being percep
tible at other stations lying Just off the
line of transmission.

tine. The Gleaner swung Into the other
vessel and the Telegraph's stern tore out
a section of the side of the Gleaner. The

Weary of Examination.
NEW TORK. Nov. 23. Credit for the
creation of the Standard Oil Trust, which
counsel for the Federal Government al
lege. still exists as the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, was given by John
D. Rockefeller to two men Henry M.
Flagler and Samuel C. T. Todd. To these
master architects of the oil combine Mr.
Rockefeller gave full credit In his testi
mony under cross-examination in the dis
solution suit, saying that he was sure it
was not himself, as he did not possess the
ability for so progressive a move.
Mr. Rockefeller spent an arduous day
on the stand, under the Incessant ques
tioning of Ftank B. Kellogg, the Govern
ment's counsel and, when adjournment
was taken until tomorrow, he gave every
evidence of delight that the day was done.
Counsel hopes to conclude Mr. Rockefel
ler's cross-examination tomorrow, when
it is planned to place John D. Archbold,
vice-president of the Standard, on the
stand.
Try to Find Trust's Books.
Mr. Kellogg, who, with other Govern
ment investigators, had been endeavoring
for more than a year to locate the miss
ing stock transfer books of the Standard
Oil Trust, sought to do so today through
Mr. Rockefeller, wuo promised to do what
he cculd to find them.
Mr. Rockefeller's examination today
carried him through the period of the
Standard Oil Trust and the years of Its
subsequent liquidation, which lasted from
KH3 to 1S99. Mr. Rockefeller's memory at
times was not clear on -the definite de
tails of this trust liquidation period, and
he told counsel that he could not recall
many of the Incidents and developments of
that time.
During the day Mr. Kellogg developed
from Mr. Rockefeller that early In the in
dustrial existence of the Standard the
presidents of railroad companies, together
with their, directors, were stockholders in
the oil combination.

After adjournment tonight Mr. Rocke

Unh?ss He Agrees With Cannon, the
Administration Will Be Legisla

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 2S. (Spe
cial.) Efforts on the part of the leaders
of the House organization to pledge votes
for the re-election of Joseph" G. Cannon,
of Illinois, as Speaker of the House of
Representatives, have led to representa
tions being made to William H. Taft that
the crisis of his administration haa ar
rived and that, unless he can reach a sat
isfactory agreement with Mr. Cannon, the
coming Taft administration will be a
legislative failure, including the tariff leg
islation. It is well understood in Wash
ington that Mr. Taft has been Impressed
with the seriousness of the situation and
Is bending his energies accordingly.
But in the meantime friends of Mr.
Cannon have not been Idle. Sereno E.
Payne, chairman of the ways and means
committee, and Representative H. S.
Boutell, of Illinois, today gave out inter
views intimating that there was no fric
tion between Mr. Taft and Mr. Cannon
and that there could be none. James A.
Tawney, chairman of the House com
mittee on appropriations, today declared
that "for reasons unknown to me some
body Is setting up a man of straw against
Mr. Cannon to be knocked down later.'

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. As a result of
the declaration of Andrew Carnegie in an
article in the forthcoming number of the
Century Magazine that the tar-ff sched
ules on iron and steel should be reduced,
the Ways and Means Committee qf the
House formally invited Mr. Carnegie to
night to appear before it this week to tell
what he knows about the steel industry
and the possibility of reduction of the
tariff on irOT.and steel products.
The committee desires him also to ap
pear temporarily on Wednesday, when
the iron and steel schedule will be taken
up on the hearing now being held by the
committee, looking toward a revision of
the tariff.
No reply had been received from Mr.
Carnegie by the committee when it took
a recess at 11 o'clock tonight, until to
morrow morning, but as the telegram of
invitation was not sent until late, no
reply is expected until tomorrow.
The members of the committee were
a unit in refusing to discuss Mr. Carne
gie's article, although all of them ad
mitted having read it as published this
morning.
Lime Men Object to Reduction.,
Sitting In a long night session to
consider the tariff schedules on titles,
lime, cement, carbons and kindred arti
cles, the committee put in full time
at work today.
In the course of the night session.
H. L. Sheppard and Orin r. Perry, of
the Rockland, Rockport, (Me.) Lime
Company, were put through a grilling
examination until they asked that the
present duty of 5 cents a hundred
pounds on lime be maintained.
Mr. Perry asserted that his company
was organized in 1900, when seven or
eight lime plants were purchased. He
admitted that the price of lime had
advanced ever since.
Chairman Payne asked why his firm
was the only one that demands a duty.
"ecause we are so near to the Canadian
manufacturers and because ours is the
best, in the United States," he replied.
"Why we have the best In the world
right in New York," declared Mr. Payne,
with a show of state pride.
"Yes we sell most of our product In
New York." retorted Mr. Perry.

Companions' Remains Recovered.
BUTTE. Mont., Nov. 23. Until the
bodies of the eix Finnish miners who lost
their lives In the fire in the East Side
coal mine of the Northwestern Improve

removed, the Kinlanders, who comprise
50 per cent of the working force at the
Northwestern mines, refuse to resume
work," declaring they would not be show
ing the proper amount of respect to the
dead were they to begin work now. The
superstitious ferfrs of the foreigners are
believed to be at the bottom of their re

As there is slight chance of the bodies
ever being recovered, the mine-owners be

long since been entirely consumed, the

CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Critics of the Navy
who condemn warships because of minor
defects were answered publicly tonight
at a banquet of the United States Naval
Academy alumni of the East. Six Rear
Admirals sat at the 'banquet board at
the Auditorium Hotel and letters scoring
recent critics and praising the Navy were

Opinions of Three Experts.
Admiral Capps, after alluding' briefly to
the development of battleships and de
claring that the vessels of this country
were fully abreast. the time, said:
"I shall refer you to the opinions of
three of the most distinguished Admirals
who have ever commanded fleets in our
or any navy. Each of their opinions
was written in response to a request.
One evening a short time ago I was
walking along the street with a naval
officer whose name 1b a household word

He made very pointed allusions to com
ments recently contained In certain
newspapers and periodicals respecting
the condition of our battleships and their
alleged faulty design. I asked him to
put his ramarks into writing, which he
did. He- was Rear-Admiral Schley."
Admiral Capps then read the letters.
Admiral Dewey's letter said in part:
"Of the battleships designed during
the last few j'ears I have spoken and
shall continue to speak in the highest
terms. The fleet of battleships now go
ing around the world are of the older
type and some of them have lived half
the life, as commonly estimated, of a
battleship in the first line. Battleship-building
Is one of the most pro
gressive of modern arts and old ships
are not equal to new; but the vessels
which have recently been received with
such marked consideration in South
America, New Zealand, Australia, Japan
and China are the equals of foreign
vessels of their date of design and
completion and often their superiors. -There
