April 27. Probnblv GOO lives lost, 100 or moio persons fatally injured and many times this number fatally hurt, together with a proporty loss running up in tho mil' linos, is the record so fnr of a tornado that originated in tho west two days ago, swooping Toxas, Arkansas, Louis ana, Tennessee nnd Georgia. It has left a path of death, desolation and want in its wako, seriously interrupted all communication between cities in the south, and brought about chaotic con ditions in many smaller towns, Mississippi, already a sufferer from moro than ono tornado this year, has again borno tho brunt of tho winds and rains. Estimates of tho number of thoo who lost their lives in that state pltco tho death list botween 150 and 175, with a thousand or more injured. Tn Toxas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia tho death lists aro also large, with serious loss of lifo in Arkansas and Tennessee. Authentic information is in many instances lacking, owing to tho crippled facilities for communica tion and the lack of timo to form any thing like an nccurato estimate of tho damage done in many sections. In half a dozen communities martial law has been declared, so terrible was the destruction and so helpless were the stricken people left by tho disaster. Serious disorders have occurred in some places, including Amite, La. Looting nnd other crimos have boon reported, but thoso instances have on the whole been rare. Scvoral places have issued appeals for aid and in Mississippi Governor Noel has boon. asked to provido tents for the homoloss. Tho tornado has lasted in all a period of nenrly two days. It was Thursday night that damage by tornadoes travel ing was first reported from points in Texas. This was followed during the next 24 hours by similar reports from Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee Last night Alabama came within tho flight of tho storm and to day reports of serious damage by the wind in Georgia have been recorded. Uttor misery of every sort was found today at Purvis, Miss., by relief parties. Despite the fact that of the 2500 inhab- tants which this little town boasted yee- torday morning, there were only 900 to day, still there were not sufficient ac commodations in the wrecked village for ovon tho wounded. Negro mammies and little black children lay wounded and lolplc-ss under the broiling Southern sun. Some had broken bones, some were part ly crashed and othors had been wound ed by sticks nnd splinters. Thes unfor- nnntes were lucky if they had a blanket or a wrecked couch to rest upon. Thoro was not enough shelter in the tpwn to protect them from the sun and many of tho walls which remained standing had no roofs, and by a queer freak of the tornado many of tho trees which had not been uprooted had been snatched off a few feet above the ground. Tho grove of pines was muti lated in such a manner that it appeared as if a gignntic scythe had swept through tho grove about 25 feet above the ground. PRtSIDLNT WINS DAY Senate's Action on Naval Bill Is Practically a Victory. GETS TWO BATTJ ESIIIP5 OEAR Declares This Places United States In Front Rank In Regards to Naval Progress. Washington, April 28. Two bat tleships a year is what President Roosevelt says he has accomplished through his fight for his naval pro gram. Had ho been victorious In J having four ships authorized at this session, tho United States could have dictated terms of disarmament'to tho natfons of the world. ThiB Hatemonl, made tonight, fol lowing the passage by the senate to day of the naval bill, calling for two new battleships, Is understood to re veal the president's source of strength In the naval fight which has been waged so strenuously. Furthermore, two ships this year with the promise of two ships each year to follow, which the president has accepted as a bona fide stipula tion on the part of the senate, means simply a program which will place the United States in the front rank of naval progression, but which falls to place it in the position of dictat ing a cessation of naval aggression. That the president, on the whole. Is pleased with the result of his ef forts with congress on this subject, was made manifest tonight; that he firmly belloves in the ability of the United States to dictate the naval policy of the world in the future, though overwhelmingly outstripping ub in naval construction.

Warns Congress Against Abuses of Judicial System Washington, April 28. 'President Roosevelt this afternoon sent to congress a special message setting forth in the strongest of terms the necessity of Immediate legislation strengthening the anti-trust law. He reiterates his well-known views as to the grave danger to free institutions from the corrupting Influence of great, wealth suddenly concentrated in the hands of the few, and urges the Immediate passage of measures similar to those he advocated In his former message on the same sub ject. Such legislation, he says, will bo In the Interest of both the decent corporations and the law-abiding labor unions. In this connection, he sounds a warning to the labor lead ers who have objected to the inclu sion of labor organizations In the anti-trust law amendment, and says plainly that the exception of the unions from the operation of the law would render the measure invalid. A strong effort has been made to have labor organizations completely exempted from the operations of tho. law, whether or not their operations are in restraint of trade. Such ex emption would make the bill uncon stitutional. It Is not possible wholly to exempt labor organizations from the workings of this law, and they who Insist upon wholly exempting them are merely providing that their status shall be kept wholly un changed, and that they shall con tinue to be exposed to the action which they now dread. Obviously an organization not formed for profit should not be re quired to furnish statistics In any way as complete as those furnished by organizations for profit. More over, so far as labor Is engaged In protection only, its claims to be ex empted from the anti-trust law are sound. This would substantially cover the right of laborers to com bine, to strike peaceably and to en ter into trade agreements with em ployers. But when labor undertakes In an unlawful manner to nrevent the distribution and sale of the pro ducts of labor It has left the fold of protection and Its action may bo plainly in restraint of Interstate trade.
