LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 10 Tor
nado reports receivod by the Arkansas
Gazotto up to an early hour this morn
ing give a total of thirty-nine persons
dead as a result of the storm in south
western Arkansas and Cass county,
lexas, last night. Twenty-six of these

DALLAS, Texas, April 16. At least
seven lives were lost in northeastern
Texas late yesterday, in a tornado,
which, after sweeping sections of
Smith, Wood, Gregg, Cass and Uowle
counties, passed into Miller and
Hempstead counties, Arkansas, where
more than a score of persons were re
ported killed. Scores of persons were
reported Injured in the affected area
of Texas. Six of the Texas fatalities
were at Avinger, Cass county and one
at Atlanta.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 10. A
rapidly mounting death list that may
exceed fifty, dozens of persons Injured
and property damage as yet unestl
mated are results of a tornado that cut
a wldo swath across parts of Miller
and Hempstead counties, Arkansas
and Cass county, Texas.
Reports coming into Little Rock
from the storm' area augmented rather
than diminished the extent of the
damage and because of paralyzed wire
communication officials were of the
opinion that several days might elapse
before the full extent of the destruc
tion Is definitely known.
Apparently the heaviest loss of life
and property was caused in the two
Arkansas counties. In the rural sec
tions of upper Miller county, near Tex
arkana, eleven persons are known to
have been killed and a large number
injured.
Near Hope, in Hempstead county,
press dispatches stated that from 15 to
. 20 persons were killed and scores in
jured by the storm, which swept the
entire length of the county. The storm
approached within a few miles of the
town, according to reports here.
Prescott is another town in Hemp
stead county that may have been
struck by the storm. A brief message
received late last night said there
were several bodies there, but It waB
not known just where the fatalities oc
currcd. .

Many Towns in Texas and
Out,
Rocky Mountain regions today were
slowly recovering from the effects of
the worst storm of the winter, which
yesterday covered the district with a
snow covering ranging from 11 to 14
inches, blockaded railroads and para
lyzed wire communication in most di
rections from Denver.
Train service to the south, annulled
last night, was expected to be resumed
today. Wire service, however, was
not expected to return to normal Im
mediately because of t ho largo number
of poles torn down by the wind and
weight of the snow.
Some damage to livestock was antic
ipated when the outlying districts can
be communicated with. Temperatures
below freezing occurred last night In
most parts of the state.

fatally in tho terrific storm which
girdled Miller county late yesterday
and swept to the north and east, re

Telephonic communication with the
devastated territory is entirely cut

One woman was killed and at least
twelve persons were injured in a tor
nado which struck Sontag, 16 miles
east of Brookhaven, today. Ten houses

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 16. Re
ports filtering into Birmingham over
badly crippled lines of communication
indicate that the town of Ralph, Tus
caloosa county, was almost completely
wiped out by a cyclone early today
and that Suliigent, Lamar county, suf
fered a like fate. In these reports,
which lack confirmation, the number
of injured runs into the scores.

Judge Ben Lindsey Declares
He Prefers Sentence to Vio
lation of Confidence, But
Asks for Mercy From Court
Decision Next Week.
DENVER, Colo.. April 1 Attorneys
for Judge Hen 11. Mndsoy of the Juven
ile court today were granted three
days tinio in which to fllo a motion
asking suspension of a contempt of
court sontenco imposed on Judge
Lindsey in 1915. . The extension fol
lowed an oral statement to tho court
by Judge Lindsey.
"I don't want tho court to think,"
said Judge Lludsoy in his oral state
ment In court In his behalf, "that I
object to execution of this Judgment
unless some good logul reason is heard
In this case. Hut I do ask that I bo
shown tho same consideration that has
frequently been shown In this court In
many criminal cases: That sentonco
be suspended or that the fine bo re
mitted.
"In view of tho technicalities In tho
caso I think the court could afford to
err on the side of mercy. Tho opinion
of the supreme court and I want It
understood that I respect the Judges of
that court and intend no disrespect for
them now decided four to threo in
affirming the lower court's decision.
In Michigan, tho supreme court has
held that it would be a crime to com
pel dlvulgence of confidences of chll
dren from juvonllo judges.
"I want to say while I have bcon
given tho privilege of making a state
ment that I have never said I would
not submit to an execution issued by
this court. So that thore may be no
misunderstanding I wish to repeat
what I said was that I would rather
take tho consoquoncos of any penalty
than violate' tho confidence of any
child. And I -hope that 1 shall not be
deemed In further contempt of thlB
court If I say hero that In tho future
as In tho paBt tho confidence of any
child reposed In mo shall contluuo to
remain inviolate"
The Judge told of the advantages of
keeping such confidences which he
said had frequently resulted.
He said that he had been aided in
capturing criminals through the confi
dences of children. Not long ago, he
said, a boy told him of how he had
been forced to rob a 'bank.
"Through that confidence and thru
keeping it I was enabled to locate the
serious offenders in the case," said
the Judge.
In concluding Judge Lindsey said:
"If word goes out from UiIb court
that confidences of children nro no
longer safe with me then I might as
well give up my work. And while I
respect the law in this case I think
there Is a higher law and I ask that
tho fino bo remittod or the sentonce
suspended."
The court granted the request of
Judge Lindscy's attorneys that they be
allowed to flic a formal motion in line
with tho Judge's request that remit
tance of sentence be allowed.
The final disposition of tho case Is
expected next Saturday.

TACOMA, April 16. Roland I. Po
thler, charged with slaying Major
Alexander Cronkhlte at Camp Lewis
in October, 11118, confessed to federal
authorities that ho was ordered by
his superior officer, Captain Robert
llosenhlulh, to bring out a loaded
gun and "get Cronkhlte,' it was an
nounced today by Prosecutor .1. W.
Seidell, who disclosod five alleged
confessions made by Pothler.
"1 Joined Major C'ronkhito on the
maneuver grounds at Camp Lewis,"
the confession of Pothler, made in
Jail at Providence, It. I. on March 24
last, reads, "and when about two feet
behind him I londed my revolver with
three shells. I fired ono shot into
the open field and as the major was
turning around In my diret'tion I fired
my second shut at the major, hitting
him in tho right breast.
A complete description of all tho
incidents lending up to the shooting

den said.
After explaining that Capalin llii-
senliluth first approached him four
or five days before tho shooting, tho
confession states:
"Kill MnJor Cronkhlte."
"On the next day or the nlKlit there
after, I again met Captain Hosenbtulh
and he asked mo If 1 was going out
with tho school of roeonnaisanco. and
I said that I had heard nothing about
it. Ho told nio It wns for all the non
commissioned officers and that he
didn't seo uny renson why 1 should
not go.
"I said 'if that is so, I guess I nm
included with them.' He then asked
mo if I remembered what ho said to

pistol. 1 answered 'yes.' He then
asked mo If I had any Idea what It
wns for and I answered 'no.' llo then
said, 'I -want to Ret Major Cronkhlte.'
I nsked him whnt he meant, and he
said 'I want to kill him.'
"I nsked hhn what his reasons were
for wnntlng me to kill the major and
ho said 'because wo want to get him

over tho maps and had found a good

we got to tho right placo, ho would

"I nsked Itoscnbluth what I was

Plan Works Perfectly.
"Everything happened as sched

Cronkhito was shot In the right breast
as ho stood on the mnneuver grounds.
After tho shooting, Pothler describes
tho scene as follows:
"As Cronkhito foil T heard another
shot from behind whero I was stand
ing, nnd Captain Rosonbluth enme
rushing upon tho scene. He picked up
Cronkhito and dragged his body so
that It lay In a position parallel with

The board of Inquiry at Camp Low

Major Cronkhlte, decided that he was
killed by a bullet from his own pistol.
The testimony was that ho was shoot
ing at a tobacco can, which Pothler,
In his confession, says was hit by a
bullet from Uoscnhluth's gun. -
No persons wero present at tho tlmo
1'othier's statements declare, except

"Despite tho alleged confessions. I
am still somewhat In tho dark," Mr;
Selden said today, "and I do not know
how to procoed."
The federal charges will have to
