CINCINNATI, ()., July 8. Tho
most devastating Hlortn Unit ho vis.
itod thin pity in bcvornl decades li
secndcd nbout 0:30 o'clock Inst night,
raged with cyclonic intensity for half
nn hour, took n toll of lives estimated
nt cloo to thirty-five and wrought
property damage exceeding n million
dollars. The total of fatalities' will
lie increased within the next feu
Iioiih, it seems certain, as nt least tea
of those reported missing aro believed
to liu under the ruin of five build
ings that collapsed in Sixth street
west of Mound. i
TomImmI Loson Tuelvo
The lint of dead includes twelve
men of a crow of eighteen of the
towbont Convoy, which went down
during the storm. None of the bodies
had been recovered.
The Murui was equally severe over
northern Kentucky ami the property
damage there will almost equal that
fiuflVrcd by this city. Only one
death has been repotted from the
Kentucky side of the jiver today.
The crop damage was heavy.
Cincinnati awoke this morning to
find railroad service partially par
alysed, its wire communicatioit with
the outside world hampered to sueh
nn extent that only press wires were
available, its streets litteied with
fallen trees, signs, roofs of houses
and other wreckage that had been
tossed there by the wind.
Numerous church spires were
blown down and with the wreckage
in the streets not yet icmoved street
car service was limited.
From the other side of the Ohio
river, in Newport, Covington, Fort
Thomas and Fort .Mitchell, Ky., come
reports of collapsed houses mid the
street car service of those cities has
been entirely suspended.
In Outlying Districts
lit the outlying districts of Cincin
nati the property damage appears to
be heavy, particulnily in the resident
sections of Clifton, Avondale and
College Hill.
It was ascertained definitely today
.that a special train on the Pennsyl
vania rnilnmd, currying raceliorm
from the recently ended meeting .nt
Latonia, to (lie eastern trucks, wii
wioeked at Terrace Park, n short
distance from this city. Nineteen of
what are considered the best horses
that raced nt the Latonia meeting
were killed. It was also reported
that two caretakers were killed mid
nineteen others injured, including
several jockeys. The large racing
stable of K. If. Bradley was on this
train.

WASHINGTON, July S.-i-On Jily
1, the United States reclamation ser
vice becamo n pork bnrrcl.
For 13 years tho reclamation ser
vice has been unique In government
work In that It has been non-political.
It hns been notably trco from graft,
as proved by many investigations
and Its history Iihr been marked by
success. All this Unto Frctlorck II.
Newell has been Its director.
Now tho reclamation service lias
taken Its placo along with the polit
ical navy yard, the spending ot money
on useless waterways and tho main
tenance of useless military posts.
How Work Carried On
When tho reclamation service was
established and tiff to the present
time the work was carried on with
funds received from tho sale ot pub
lic lands In tho nrld and seml-arld
HUites of the west. These funds were
used for the Irrigation work nnd re
funded to the treasury by tho recla
mation settlers. Theoretically the
fund was to bo n continuing fund
for tho Indefinite reclaiming of lands,
Under n new law passed by con
gress July 30, 19H, but which bo
ennto effective July 1, money from
tho sale ot public lands Is hereafter
to bo put In the treasury and expend
ed, not by reclamation experts, but
by congress.
At tho present moment this results
In tho remnrkalilo spectaclo of a largo
party of commlttco on appropriations
congressmen Junketing through the
west to decide on reclamation pro
jects and how to spond reclamation
money!
In the menhwlillo another sorlcs
of events havo practically romoved
from the reclamation servlco Freder
ick II. Newell, known nil over, tho
country ns the father of reclamation
Mr. Newell was tho first dirertor'nn
pointed nftor'tliVinefiaitrn of tho re
clamation net of 1902.
ltallliiger-l'Inrhot Controversy
Ono of tho causes of the famous
Halllngor-I'lnchot controversy was
tho announced purposo of Secretary
Halllngcr to romovo Newell and turn
over tho reclamation servlco to poli
tics. Ilalllngcr's complete defeat en
trenched Newell In his position nnd
bis successful work went forward.
When President Wilson wus elect
cd nnd Lnno becamo secretary of tho
Interior, tho conservationists woro
inoro than satisfied. Ho was n con
servatlonlst and In most mntters has
continued to bo so. What has hap
pened In tho case of Newell and tho
reclamation service Is therefore diffi
cult to understand.
Hlght months nfter Secretary I.ano
assumed office, ho began to reorgan
ize tho reclamation servlco. In placo
of a slnglo director director, ho sub
stituted a commission of five mon.
Theso were: F. II. Nawoll. directer:
A. P, Ilnvfs, chief engineer, who had
been In tho servlco from tho begin
ning with Xowellj and throo western
men who wero not either onglneers
or specialists In Irrigation, Ono was
.Will It. King, formorly Jusllco of tho
supreme court of Oregon, and who
came to the national cupltal as a
rumored aspirant for several offices;
W. A. Ityan, a California politician,
formerly with Lnno n tho Interstnto
commerce commission, nnd I, I),
O'Donnell ot Montana, a banker and
promoter of prlvnto Irrigation enter
prises. Kllmlnntltig Authority
Thus Novell's authority ns director
wns really removed. Ho .became a
minority member of a board whoso
majority were not reclamation engi
neers, but political appointees.
Then camo tho congressional action
which has overturned the entire re
clamation policy. Oscar W. Under
wood, democratic loader, ably assist
ed by James It. Mnnn, republican
bouso leader, and John J. Fitzgerald,
appropriations chairman, put through
whatd is called the "Underwoo
amendment" to the reclamation ex
tension act, profiling that boreaftor
congress should make all approprla-

tlona for rcclnmntlon work. The bill
Is suspicious enough for the sole rea
son that these throo backed It. ll Is
said that I.ano made no strong fight
against It.
Four months after tho passngo of
this legislation, on December 3, 1911,
Newell received a short letter from
Secretary of the Interior Lane "trans
ferring him to the position of con
sulting engineer," nnd putting him on
tho samo basis as other consulting
engineers.
Still Inter Secretary Lane abolished
thn office of director of tho reclamn
tton service, "consolidating tho posi
tions of chief engineer and director,
with A. P. Davis ns director and chief
engineer.
With this action Newell ccnBcd to
hold any position except Hint of con
sulting engineer, nnd ceased to 'exor
cise any authority over tho policy of
tho service whatever.
Newell Is Discharged
A letter sono followed from Sec
retary Lnno informing Newell that
on .March 8 his Job as "consulting
engineer," nt n definite monthly sal
nry, would terminate, except that If
his advice should bo needed such
advice would bo pnld for on a por
diem basts.
This left Newell on tho sidewalk.
Ills activities as n consulting officer
of the servlco mny bo Judged from
the fact that ho Is now earning his
living delivering lectures nt tho Uni
versity ot Illinois.
Xowull hns .spent his life In tho
govcrnnicut"servlco at a comparative
ly meager salary.
Ills wns the brain that conceived
and carrlod out tho great reclama
tion works.
He wns tho man who was Investi
gated again nnd again, and always
camo out with a clean record.
Newell wns tho first man In tho
government sorvlco to concclvo the
Idea of water conservation. Ho wns
tho man who Inspired tho engineering
force under him, ns Uootbnls Inspir
ed that forco on tho canal zone.
And now that tho work Is begin
ning to bear fruit, Newell is quietly
shelved.
