Southern Storm Much Worae Than
First Reported
Now Orleans. 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.

agreed among the ship owners that
the rate on flour will be reduced
from $3 to $2 for shipment from this

to Singapore will bo reduced from
$4.75 to $3.50.
