LORAIN HIT HARDEST
Thlrty.flve on Wrecked Uunch I n
hurt; .Thousands Out of Fac
tories Miss Death.
Cleveland, O. Loss ot life In Sut
urday's tornado which wrecked a large
portion ot Lorain and parts ot San
dusky aud other Ohio cities was not
as great as first reports indicated, but
rechocklng ot casualties showed that
more than 100 persons lost their lives
In this storm and almost simultaneous
disturbances at Pittsburg and In the
upper Mississippi valley.
The greatest loss ot life whs at
Lorain where the latest count showed
59 dead and 11$ Injured, a score of
them suffering severe hurts. The
property loss there was upward ol
130,000,000, 125 city blocks having
bees demolished. At Sandusky It was
found that only six person were kill
ed, although 100 were injured and
property valued at 12,000,000 was de
stroyed.
There were seven fatalities in Cleve
land, although the property damage
was small. Pittsburg reported 1$ per
sons killed in western Pennsylvania.
while Nantua, O., reported three dead
and Akron one. The death loll In
Iowa and Illinois was 12, making
death list of 109. The total property
damage when reports from the rural
regions are complete, will probably
aggregate 150,000,000.
Despite the devastation at Lorain,
where the tornado tore down a quarter
ot the city, orgunixed rescue work
went lor ward smoothly and state
troops kept order among the Inhabit
tants, hundreds ot whom were thrown
out of their homes and had to be shelt
ered in tents and with friends.
The great loss ot life at Lrruln took
place in the State theater, a four-
story building, which partly collapsed
and crushed many ot the spectators
at a matinee movie show. As soon as
rescue work was organized a survey ol
the situation led to the deduction that
many scores had been killed, for build
Ings had been whipped down over the
heads of several fairly large asaemb
lages. At a bathing beach house the-
structure, was torn to pieces and It wu
announced that dozens bad lost their
lives at this place.
Investigation Sunday when light per
mitted a search ot the ruins showed
that probably everyone at the beach
had escaped with his life. The fact
that the tornado struck both Sandusky
ana ixtrain whin factories were
emptied on account ot Saturday after
noon holiday probably reduced t h
death toll by hundreds, for a number
ot manufacturing plants were lorn
down only a few hours after several
thousand employes bsd left their work.

ADDIE ADAMS
APDIE ADAMS was the Urst woman
In Olil Town to boo her hair, and
on tliut occusiuii lie became Hole
haired Addle Adams. Kveryoiir knew
by reputation Miss Adams niuniilili
collars and ties, und her muniilsli tail
ored routs, and her hatred fur men.
Young Sin, Frank Oalety, however
probubly because niosilc attract
each other wi a staunch supporter
ot Miss Aduins on all occasions. One
night Mrs. Frank announced that A Jell
was coming to dinner the next evening.
Her husband acquiesced with extra
graclouxiless. Then he added:
"I'll get Tony Tompkins, too; I
think Tony'd be Just the man for
Addle."
Mrs. Frank locked dubious. "You
know, dear," she said. "Addle doesn't
approve of men."
"That's exactly what 1 hud In mlud,"
answered lier husliund. "Tony's a
woman hater !"
All assembled the following evening.
Addle glared across tho table at Tony
and Ignored her host.
"How Is Frank, Jr. r she asked Mr.
Frank. "It a pity he's a boy."
'I suppose It' more modern to find
one daughter Interesting." laughed
Mrs. Frank.
'You women who are chained to hus
bands must at leust raise girls to
carry on the cause. Woman must cap
ture every field!" Addle opened th
mannish rout she wore even to th
table, and dlspluyed a gleaming badge !
I have been sworn In as a special
officer," she auld. "1 arrested two men
today,"
Here Tony Interrupted, growing red
and puffy a If he were going to have
a stroke. "Miss Adams, you mutt
never forget the hlologlinl fact that
(he brnln of a woman is not so lurge a
that of a man."
Then they were off. Addle had prob
ably never In her life talked continu
ously for such a length of time to a
man. For the remainder of the meal th
reat of the party Just listened. And
after dinner when they were assembled
nce more In tho drawing room, Addle
made straight for .Mr. Tompkins. There
was no getting her nwuy from him. For
she bad found a mutual Interest to
which apparently there was no end.
The following day It was reported
that she had been seen taking Tony
to drive, and within the week they
made their parly call on Mrs. Frank
together. In tier youth Addle had been
sent to a girl's boarding school in
winter nnd a girl's camp In summer
