In the haste to conceive some. im- | mediate solution of farm difficul-| ties before the old congress adjourn- ed, the commission was unable to dig deeply into permanent economic rehabilitation, Within the next few months the commission expects to work out sev- eral definite bills which not only will help readjust the present sit- uation, but prevent recurrence of | the recent farm disasters. The step is being taken in accord- ance with the desires of President Coolidge. The chief executive feels Where You Must “kid yourself.” and study it carefully. perhaps others.

The commissién — will attempt to work out some compro- mise solution of the McNary-Haugen proposal in an effort to protect farm- ers without pledging government funds to set prices. ‘ Senator Arthur Capper, head of the farm bloc, has ‘urged the new steps upon the President. He felt keenly the failure of congress in its’ ‘lasing days to accept at least one of | the farm bills. “A house divided against itself cannot stand,” Senator Capper says. “Three things contributed to the; postponement of farm marketing leg- islation and prevented a prompt re- | demption of campaign pledges ito | the farming community. “They were lack of unity of farm opinion, misinformation and partisan polities.” Senator Capper hopes that the new program of the commission may cause the various farm elements to; consolidate so that legislation may be enacted soon after the next ses- sion convenes, STORM DEATH TOLL MOUNTS Number Placed at 826 Today as New Names Are Added ‘To Long List Chicago, March 23.—(By the A. P.) —Din of-saw and hammer furnished the dominant note in the tornado stricken district of the Middle West today as rehabilitation work became organized. At the same time a resur- vey of the litter of ruined towns, deaths of injured and rechecks of; casualty totals, incrensed the death list by more than a score and added millions to early estimates J! total damage. Additions to the death total, all from Illinois, placed it at 826 at noon. Most of the new names resulted from deaths of injured, although a dozen were added to the list from Bush, Ill, through a ‘revised report from the town’s one physician, who fixed the Bush list at 20, The deaths of six of Murphysboro’s injured and four of West Frankfort, were report-) ed and the McLeansboro total of forty was reduced to thirty-three by a recheck. 1 The early estimates of $3,000,000 damage at Murphysboro, the center of devastation, were doubled after| a resurvey of the ruins, RICE AND MICE + Paris, March 23.—Rice used ag decorations on, new dresses almost wrecked a Paris dressmaking estab- lishment. The rice made a big hit, but when the. dresses were delivered it was found mice had eaten off most of the decorations. The large num- ber of mice caused several of the-seamstresses and models to re- fuse to work in the place for several days. UP 555 FEET DAILY. Washington, March 23—William S.

STRICKEN AREA STARTS WORK Every Survivor of Great Storm To Be Given Aid By Officials PLAN COMPLETE SURVEY Four Months May Me Needed To Rebuild Shattered Homes and Factories Chicago, March 23.—(By the A, P.) --Saddened by the final tragedy of its greatest tornado disaster,—the burial of its dead—southern Illinois and Indiana today turned undaunted to the mammoth of rehabilita- tion, through which it is planned every survivor of last Wednesday’s catastrophe will be returned to the same conditions that existed before the territory was laid in ruins, All injured have received medical atten- tion and all homeless have been pro- vided with temporary shelter, it was announced, as plans got underway for rebuilding the stricken area, A colossal task faced the agencies en- gaged in reconstruction work as ar- rangements were made for complete surveys of the storm territories. It was anticipated that four months or more would be required to clear hundreds of acres of ruins, restore thousands of shattered homes, rebuild factories and estab- lish new systems of sanitation. Providing destitute families with means of making a living was an immediate need receiving attention. Committees from several southern Illinois counties will meet this week to select a joint body which will direct all permanent relief work after surveys have been made of the needs of the district. . Henry M. Baker, head of the dis- aster relief committee of the Red Cross, announced that his organiza- tion expect to rehabilitate every family affected by the storm. He also stated an emergency unit of the Red Cross had been established | in every stricken town and that temp- orary relief tofthe injured and home- | less had been fully taken care of. With funds for the storm suffer- ers being raised in all parts of the country through appeals in churches through newspapers, by radio and other agencies, the national head- quarters of the Red Cross in Wash- ington announced an appropriation. of $60,000 to augment similar funds being raised by other chapters. James L. Fieser, vice-chairman in charge of domestic operations, who returned to Washington from St. Louis, reported that immediate de mands and emergency requirements had been met but that permanent relief presented an enormous prob- lem, Brief and simple funeral services were held Sunday for most of the victims in five states while preach- ers in all denominations asked for divine guidance. A further check of casualty lists today brought a few changes in in- dividual items, but did not material- ly affect the totals, Death stood at 803 but 2,939 injured, or a total cas- ualty count of 3,742, but slightly re- duced from figures tabulated by the Associated Press the first day of the disaster. Murphysboro, chief sufferer in the tornado, buried nearly 60 of its dead Sundfy with services in the wrecked bandstand. in the public square. Other funerals were held today. Most of the city’s homeless were living in tents and yesterday $,000 were fed at public relief stations. An unusual number of fires break- ing out in ‘tthe ruins has added to problems of relief. DeSoto, the little village 500 which was blown away, has finished burying its dead. The country cem- etery has fifty fresh mounds with only rude wooden crosses carrying penciled names as markers. Thirty of DeSoto’s seventy dead were chil- dren. Some families have returned | to the village and are attempting to reestablish demolished homes but the general opinion is that the vil- lage will never be rebuilt. Griffin, Ind., where fifty perish- ed, today was cut off from all relief avenues except a single railroad,| when flood waters of the Wabash River inundated all, roads leading to the town, Governor Ed Jackson, who inspected the storm territory, was forced to drive through a foot of- water in ledving the town. Re- inforced military lines held back, thousands of motorists seeking to. sit the devastated quarters. RED CROSS WILL RECEIVE FUNDS FOR STORM AREA Burleigh County Red Cross Chap~ ter has been directed by American Red Cross officials to accept and transmit to- St. Louis such contribu- tions as may be offered for the suf- ferers in the tornado area in Illinois, Indiawa and Missouri. Although Red Cross workers have not had time to make even a prelim- inary survey of the devastated area and are unable to estimate the dam- age or amount of funds that will be needed to cope with the situation, there is sufficient authentic infor- mation’ to cate’ that a large amount of money will be needed in the storm torn district. | Phone Operator at Mapleton, Minn., Arouses Townspeople Following Blast REMAINS AT HER BOARD Girl Summons Assi Fire and Smoke Pour Into Exchange ance as 23,---The telephone Mapleton, Minn., March presence of mind‘ of a operator who remained at her post in a burning building to summon as- sistance from nearby towns and to the townspeople saved the buisness district and probably the entire town of Mapleton from de- struction late yesterday. Miss Dora Simon, 26, the operator, under a physician's care for nervous prostration as a result of her experience. The telephone ex- change was located on the second tory of the C. J. Greiner department store, which was destroyed at a lo: of approximately $45,000, total damage being $80,000. Miss Simon heard an explosion and without knowing that the telephone building was on fire, put in an alarm for fire apparatus. The explosion was from an oil stove in the base- ment of the department store. When the smoke filled the room Miss Simon continued at her board and called as many persons in the town as time permitted, as well as calling fire apparatus at Minkato, twenty miles from here, and Amboy near here. Later a call was made for apparatus from Wells, 22 miles from here. The smoke poured into the room blinding the operator, Groping about the room she made her way to the stairway and rolled down the 19 steps. She was found by townspeo- ple who carried her unconscious from the building. Practically the entire population of Mapleton turned out to uid fight the flame: arouse WORKER HELD | FOR EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE’ Authori Investigate Blast That Caused Death of 33 Men at Fairmont Fairmont, W.

CALLS TORNADO VISITATION OF WRATH OF GOD Griffin, Ind., Mar. 23.—‘God visit- ed affliction on the wicked and it was atonement for wickedness that caused the tornado to wipe Griffin off the map,” the Rev. Harold M. Corbell, captain of the Volunteers of America, told the few remaining residents of Griffin yesterday® in the first and only religious service held in the stricken town since the storm. A number of Corbell’s list- eners lost relatives in the wreck- age. None of them joined in the song sung by the preacher. RESUME FIGHT TO GET HEIR OUT OF JAIL Chicago, Mari 23.—The legal bat- tle to obtain the release on bail of William G. Shepherd, indicted-on a charge of inoculating his foster son, William M. McClintock, with typhoid fever germs was resumed today. The inquest into McClintock’s death which had begn scheduled to be re- imed today was continued indefin- itely. Counsel for Miss Isabelle Pope, who was to have married young McClintock, said today the reports from California of the condition of her health were disquieting, that the shock of her fiance’s death and the strain of the last few days of his life, combined with two appear- ances at the inquest, had proved too much for her. -Mrs. Shepherd spent last night ip her home in a suburb, under police guard.

The divergence of opiniog on this fundamental proposition seems. like- ly to lead followers of the two theor- jes so far presented far apart before the congressional und senatorial jelections of 1926. The two conflicting schools of political thought in the Senate G. O. P. are not unlike those rep- nted in the debate here between Clarence Darrow und former Sen- ator A, O. Stanley. Darrow and Stanley debated the issue of capital punishment. The man who saved the necks of Loeb and Leopold contended that so- ciety should seek to reform, not to kill. The man who a criminal to- day may be a good citizen tomor- row, he held, if society does its part to help him to a respectable and responsible part in life.

Jim Watson of Indiana is cast in the Stanley role. Borah contends that Republi- cans who have transgressed party discipline should be given a chance to repent and reform. Republicans, like individuals, he holds, are the product of differing environments. They are not all cast in one mold. Allowance must be made for variations, even for oc- casional abnormalities. To Watson, however, a good Re- publican is a good Republican, He is first and last a member of the clan. Whosoever denies for one day constituted party authority, who runs amuck in the family circle, be- comes an outcast, disinherited and condemned. “A political party,” says Watson, “is in reality organized for one elec- tion. If its policies are continuing, the organization may be continuing. “But after all, it is designed for one contest, one election, subscrib- ing to one platform and one set of principles. “I am not concerned with what was done in 1912, or 1916 or 1920.
