and great property loss sustained in
the disastrous electrical storm which
wept parts of Georgia, Tennessee,
Alauimi, Louisiana, MisaisHippi and
Tex? ' ' .
K ' odd deaths have been report

will Dd increased when wire communi
cation is restored In remote Hectlons
devBHtated by the cyclone. The dam
- age to property cannot be estimated,
but will have to be computod In mil

Twenty-nine persons are reported to
have perished in Georgia anil damage
to property is roughly estimated at
$1,000,000. Calhoun, Gordon county,
Georgia, and vicinity bore tho brunt
of tho storm, and 11 persons are re
tried to hnve been killed. Tho other
fatalities in Georgia were nine at
Tucker, four at Kaglesvillo, three at
Clarkston and two at Columbus.
Late reports from Tennessee have
increased the death toll in that state
to 23 persons.
The loss of life in Alabama Is esti
mated at 13, although several persons
etill are reported missing. Five nq-
groes were killed near New Decatur,
three persons perished at Cnlera and
two each at Hoke and Iiluff, Gainsville
and Duke.
Late reports from Northern Missis
sippi raised the death list from seven
as first reported, to 13. These fatuli
tleB occurred in seven counties. Wire
communication with a number of
towns struck by the storm still la in
terrupted. No more deaths havo been reported
from Louisiana, the death list remain
ing at seven.
Six persons were killed by the cy
clone that passed over Gadsden, Ala.
A Southern railway train was
wrecked, presumably by spreading
rails, near Round Mountain. The
crew and passengers escaped injury.
The storm, which continued for two
hours, was followed by earthquake
shocks, and devastated a wide section
of country between Curryvillo and Re
sacra late at night. Eleven are known
to have been killed.
The storm west of the Tennessee
river reached its gravest fury in Ben
ton county, sweeping a path from a
quarter to three-quarters of a mile
wide diagonally across the country.
It is estimated that the damage done
by the severe wind and rain storm
which swept Chicago and Illinois will
aggregate nearly $1,000,000. In Chi
cago the wind attained a velocity of
60 miles an hour for several hours and
thousands of plate glass windows and
doors in all parts of the city were de
molished. Dispatches from Northern Wiscon
sin say disastrous floods have been fol
lowed by one of the most severe snow
storms of the winter. Railroad traffic
in the northwestern, part of the state
is paralyzed, telegraph wires have
been put out of commission, but the
change in temperature is moderating
the floods, which were working great
havoc.
Wind storms, accompanied by rain
and hail, in the southwestern part of
Kansas, did great property damage.
Two carpenters were killed at Louis
ville, Ky., when a high wind blew
down a construction tower at the
Louisville Railway company's repair
shops. The wind reached a velocity
of 60 miles an hour.
Burlington railroad traffic imme
diately west of Alliance, Neb., was
demoralized as a result of a heavy
blizzard which swept Northwestern
Nebraska and Southwestern Wyoming.
Freight traffic is at a standstill and
overland passenger trains are reported
stalled in snowdrifts.
Will Endeavor to Cultivate Friend;
hhip in Central America.
Washington, D. C. President Wll
aon Issued his formal statement of his
policy toward the Central and South
American republics:
"In view of questions which natur
ally are uppermost In the public mind
just now, tho President Issues the fol
lowing statement:
"One of the chief objects of my ad
ministration will bo to "cultivate the
friendship and deserve the confidence
of our sister republics of Central and
South America, and to promote in
every proper and honorable way the
interests which are common to the
peoples of the two continents. I ear
nestly desire the most cordial under
standing and co-operation between the
peoples and leaders of America, arid
therefore, deem it my duty to make
this brief statement.
"Co-operation Is possible only when
supported at every turn by the orderly
processes of just government based
upon law, not upon arbitrary, or Ir
regular, force. I hold, as I am sure
all thoughtful leaders of republican
government everywhere hold, that just
government rests always upon the con
sent of the governed, and that there
can be no freedom without order based
upon law and upon the public consci
ence and approval. We shall look to
make these principles the basis of mu
tual intercourse between, respect and
helpfulness between our sister repub
lics and ourselves.
We shall lend our influence of ev
ery kind to the realization of these
principles in fact and practice, know
ing that disorder, personal intrigue
and defiance of constitutional rights
weaken and discredit government and
injure none so much as the people who
are unfortunate enough to have their
common life and common affairs taint
ed and disturbed."

Agua Prieta Garrison Sends Arms
Into United States.
Douglas, Ariz. With sufficient
forces to avoid necessity of mobiliza
tion, the insurgent state troops are
pressing toward the border after their
victories in driving the Iluerta soldiery
from inland mining towns. With
large groups of constitutionalists sur
rounding Agua Prieta, not permitting
the federals even to evacuate peace
fully, 600 of another group approached
close to Nogales, Sonora, opposite the
Arizona town of the same name. Both
ports, Agua Prieta, terminal of the
Nacozari railway, and Nogales, on the
Sonora railroad, which runs directly to
the gulf, were menaced at the same
time, preventing the federals from
combining at any one point.
Particularly difficult was the posi
tion of General Ojeda, commanding
the Agua Prieta garrison. In fear of
causing danger to the residents of
Douglas, his orders were to evacuate
the border town, but the Btate troops,
fresh from their victories at Nacozari
and Eltigre, surrounded the town and
demanded the federals' arms. As an
only alternative, late in the afternoon
found the federals loading their arms,
ammunition and artillery on box cars,
with tho evident intention of running
the train to the American side and fol
lowing unarmed.
This would prevent the state rebels
from securing the munitions and at
the same time General Ojeda would be
cleared of responsibility, in view of
his orders from the Mexican War de
partment. W. T. Fitzherbert, cus
toms collector at Douglas, received no
request from the Mexican general to
bring over the arms, nor could such be
granted without permission from'
Washington, which so far has not
recognized the Huerta government.
Women Police Provided.
Abany, N. Y. Authority to appoint
20 patrolwomen, or as many more as
necessary, is givengthe police commis
sioner of New York City in a bill in
troduced in the state legislature. The
appointees would be between 80 and
45 years old, would be uniformed and
would do duty in dance halls, public
parks and moving picture shows in
regularly protecting women and child
ren. They would draw the same salary
as a male member of the force and
would share in the police pension
fund.
Treaty Extended Five Years.
Washington, D. C. Secretary Bry
an and Ambassador Jusserand ex
changed ratifications of the convention
approved by the senate a month ago
extending for a term of five years the
Franco-American special arbitration
treaty of 1908. This treaty provides
for limited arbitration excepting ques
tions of vital interest, independence or
honor. It is similar in terms to the
Anglo-American treaty of 1908, which
will expire June 4, next.
Suffrage Wins In Alaska.
Juneau, Alaska The equal suffrage
resolution enfranchising Alaska wo
men was adopted by the house. The
senate will adopt the resolution, as
there is no opposition to votes for wo
men in that body.
Strikers Threaten Jail.
Ak ron, O. A parade of striking
rubber workers marched to the central
police Btation and threatened for a
time to attack the jail and liberate the
strikers arrested for rioting in the last
few days. Several shots were fired
toward Detective George Martino, who
returned the fire. No one was hit by
the bullets, and the strikers retreated.
Before marching to the police station
the crowd attacked officers on duty at
one of the rubber factories. Carl W.
Bailey, an I. W. W. organizer of
Cleveland, was arrested.
Plea Made for Tramps. I
Dover, Del. The Delaware legisla
ture has voted to establish convict
camps and work all short-term pris
oners on the highways by passing the
Anderson bill. Opposition to the con
vict labor idea centralized in a Dlea
for tramps and a protest against their
arrest. "We need them during the
berry and fruit season and cannot
spare them," declared Assemblyman
Owens, a fruitgrower. "They save
us money and save our fruit."
Pays $100,000 Back Customs.
Washington, D. C. John Wana-
maker, the Philadelphia and New
York merchant, has paid to the gov
ernment $100,000 to settle sums of
which the treasury has been defrauded
during the last 15 years through ir
regular pactices in the importation of
samples of merchandise.

Washington, D. C President Wil
son has accepted membership in the
University Club in Washington, and

Firing1, Cross Border
Surrender Arms.
Nogales, Ariz. Constitutionalists
overthrew the federal garrison at No
gales, Sonora, Friday night, and now
are in possession of the border town,
after a flight which continued with
little abatement for 12 hours.
Casualties are estimated at 100 dead
and twice as many wounded on both
sides.
Private Allen A. Umfleet, troop G,
fifth cavalry, U. S. A.t was seriously
wounded by a rebel bullet while doing
police duty near the international line
here. The shot passed through his
face from nose to ear. No other
Americans were wounded.
The United States soldier was shot
shortly after 5 o'clock, when the at
tack was at its height. Lieutenant-
Colonel Tate, in charge of the fifth
cavalry patrol, instantly sent word to
General Obregon, in command of the
rebel forces:
"You have shot one of my men.
Cease firing, or I shall be after you at
once."
At the same moment the firing from
the regulars under Colonels Koster-
litzke and Reyes slackened. By some
preconcerted arrangement, Lieutenant
Colonel Tate called his bugler and or
dered him to sound the Mexican "cease
firing" order. The federal garrison
instantly obeyed, but desultory firing
continued to come from the beseigers.
General Obregon succeeded in hold
ing back the fire from his men, so that
Colonels Kosterlitzky and Reyes with
their forces were able to cross to the
United States, where they surrendered
to Colonel Wilbur W. Wilbur, Fifth
cavalry, who arrived to take command
of the American troops. The Mexican
federal soldiers stacked their arms be
fore the American troopers and disbanded.
Mexico City Surrounded by govern
ment troops, Venustiano Carranza, the
rebel governor of Coahuila, who re
fused to recognize the Huerta ad
ministration and initiated what ap
peared to be a formidable revolt, is
suing for peace, according to official
reports. Carranza is declared to have
2000 men.
Manuel Garza Aldape, named as
minister of agriculture, who was sent
north by the government to effect a
reconciliation, has telegraphed to
President Huerta asking for a pardon
for the rebellious governor. Alberto
Guajardo, commander of the ruralcs,
who joined the Carranza movement,
is reported officially to have surren
dered. Pascual Orozco, Jr., returned to the
capital and was greeted by the men
who have been fighting him for a
year.
Orozco has signed no agreement of
peace, but it is expected he will do so.
Suspicious regarding negotiations with
others than the principals, he had en
tered into only partial terms with the
commissioners sent north by the government.
The final conferences regarding a
peace settlement between Orozco and
the government will be held this week,
probably at the national palace.
Orozco and his advisers will try to ex
act the best possible terms, but it is!
believed that the revolution, so far as
they are concerned, is ended. !
Most of Orozco's army will join the j
government forces, and it is "regarded '
as not improbable that Orozco himself ;
will be governor of Chihuahua.

Musty Theories Assailed.
Stanford University, Cal. ".The
professors of economics in American
universities are too scientific and have
too little regard for the human will,"
declared Professor M. L. Larkin, of
the Stanford economics department,
in an address here. "The aim of eco
nomics," he continued, "should be to
ward the teaching of practical affairs
and not the theories of 15th century
theorists. ,One difficulty in most in
stitutions is that the teachers are in
capable. Poor pay is responsible for
the dearth of capable instructors."
Girl Strikers Hold Up Car.
Trenton; N. J. Two hundred girl
strikers at the Strauss woolen mills on
the outskirts of this city held up a
trolley car and blocked service for 40
minutes because Holdsworth Robinson,
who is accused of striking one of the
girls, sought refuge in the car. The
girls got on the track in front of the
car and would not move until police
reached the scene and arrested Robin'
son on complaint of Annie Solltis, 14
years old, who said Robinson had
struck her.

Ottawa, Ont. Dr. Friederich F. i
Friedmann, of Berlin, discussed before;
the Canadian Association for the Pre-!
vention of Tuberculosis his treatment i
for tuberculosis, the manner of its dis
covery and the precautions he took to
insure its harmlessness. He said he
had spent 23 years in research work to
find a tuberculin that was not toxic
and virulent, and having found it,
tried it first of all on himself.
He discarded human tubercle bacilli,
he said, after many experiments, be
cause he feared the results were too
dangerous. The end of his research
came, he asserted, when he found a
bacillus which originated in a cold
blooded animal, the turtle, which
bacillus became a-virulent and a-toxic
after frequent transplantation.
"When that condition was reached,"
he said, "I injected it into myself,
then into patients infected with tu
berculosis, then into healthy children
in tubercular surroundings. I have
found the remedy invariably harm
less." "I have found this remedy harmless
when I used it for patients ranging
from earliest childhood to the most
advanced age in all forms of applica
tion subcutaneously, intramuscular
and intravenous even in big doses,"
said Dr. Friedmann, "and equally effi
cient in all forms of tuberculosis, pul
monary, bone, joint, glandular and
skin. Aside from absolutely hopeless
cases, whose fates were already
sealed, the remedy has proved its effi
ciency in most instances.
To obtain the ideal, to eradicate
tuberculosis as an epidemic disease, it
is necessary not only to cure the tuber
cular individuals now living, but also
to protect by a method following the
principle of Jenner's vaccination in
guarding the future generations from
infection.
"So far I have vaccinated 350 child
ren varying in age from 1 year to i
years. Most of these children were
living in tubercular environments and
much exposed to infection from the
source. The earliest immunizations
were made 17 months ago and all the
children are well today and free from
all symptoms of scrofula or tubercu
losis."

Culcbra Cut Pushed Up.
Panama The slide on the east bank
of the Culebra cut, which first moved
into the cut on the night of February
5, made another rapid movement
downward on March 15 toward the
canal. It pushed the bottom of the
cut near the center for a distance of
1000 feet to a height of 30 feet, de
stroying five tracks and overturning
two steam shovels. There is now only
one construction track in operation.
The slide has ceased moving and the
work of removing the mass of earth
has already begun.
