Washington. D. C.—One of nature’s
most deadly and costly freaks —the
tornado—will never be understood or
investigated to the point where sci
ence con accurately forecast Its begin
ning or it« path, according to C. L.
Mitchell, forecaster of the United
States weather bureau here.
Mitchell said weather bureau experts
were frustrated on all sides in their
efforts adequately to acquaint them
selves with the “whirls.” The only In
formation they can now obtain about
tornadoes Is by: Investigating and In-
specting stricken areas.
“If we could be up in the sky,” said
Mitchell, “at the exact spot where a
tornado was about to be conceived.
there is a bare possibility that we
might in time be able to make a fairly
close forecast of tornadoes. But there
is no other way we could.”
Because of possible panics and riots
the weather bureau does not even at
tempt to forecast tornadoes. The ex
tent of the bureau’s predictions of tor
nadoes now is limited to “unsettled
disturbances."

Washington, D. C.—Instructions to .
examine the books and trading rec
ords of all grain exchanges in the
country and those of a number of
large brokers were sent by Secretary '
Jardine to field agents of the kr. in
futures administration.
The settop constituted the agricul
ture department’s first step in its In
vestigation of the causes of the recent
fluctuations in the price of wheat.
The orders went to Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City and other points.
The examination will cover tradfltg
accounts since the price decline began
a few days ago. Records of the ex-1
changes and brokers are expected to
show plainly whether buying and sell
ing were ths result of abuse of trad
ing privileges.
The right of the department to in
spect such records Is held to be estab
lished by the grain futures act. Offi
cials here expect no objection.
LIABLE
Negligence of Officers No Grounds
for Action Against Washington.
Olympia, Wash.—A survival of the
theory that “the king can do no
wrong,” has placed the state in the
peculiar position of admitting negli
gence in highway construction and
escaping liability, according to an
opinion issued to James Allen, high
way engineer, by John H. Dunbar, at
torney-general.
The modern rule of law is that the
state cannot be sued for tort, and is
not liable for negligence on the part
of its officers or agents, Mr. Dunbar
pointed out.
The question was brought up by Mr.
Allen after the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle Railway company had present
ed a bill for damages resulting when
earth and rocks from the government
slide on the North Bank highway cov
ered railroad tracks and necessitated
employment of watchmen and removal
of the debris by the railroad com
pany. -

The tact that the treasury will not
