Freight for Inter- FIVE DEAD IN TORNADOES Several Missouri Counties Also Suffer Heavy Damage from Wind, Hall and Rain Storms. The tornado which swept north Ver- non county recently, touched the southern part of Bates county and ex- tended thirty miles, probably total- ing a loss of $500,000 Two deaths are reported, with pos- sibly thirty injured, at Arthur, six miles south. Ruth Fairbanks, 7 years old, was killed at Rockville. Dr. C. killed. Sam Fairbanks and wife and two children were dangerously in- jured at Arthur. Miss Madison at Metz and Edgar Hirni at Rockville also were injured. At Rinehart, H. L. Dittmars is not expected to survive his injuries which were received when his store collapsed. The Missouri Pacific sta- tion at~Rinehart was destroyed and dations. H. S, Dittmars, at Rinehart, received a broken collar bone and after digging his family from the ruins of his home went to the rescue of his father, who was buried in the collapse of the postoffice and store. | Rescue parties worked all night in the storm district and all available | doctors helped with the injured. Many freaks of the storm are reported, a calf in a pasture having been found with a pitchfork driven in its side. Hailstones broke glass and pounded fruit trees to pieces. Near Prairie City Charles Wilt was injured in the collapse of the Adam Wilt home, At the Sam Eddy home in the same dis- trict three children were injured when their home was destroyed. The tornado passed through the northern part of Miller county and several buildings in Olean were wrecked. John Farris and his wife, living four miles in the country from Olean, were killed and their home blown down. A young hired man liy- ing with the Farris family, whose name has not been learned, probably was fatally injured. Six persons in Olean were injured, some of the prob- ably fatally. : MAY BRING TROLLEY LINES Proposed Coal Distilling Plant May Mean Better Transportation for Central Missouri Counties. The location of a plant in Central Missouri to distill cannel coal may be the means of providing transporta- tion facilities for that part of the state, which so long has faced that problem. It became known recently that sev- into the coal fields. Announcement by the American Coal Refining pany of plans to construct a distilling plant which would produce commer- cial gas, solved a lot of questions, and it was sail that chances of an agree- ment between the refining company and. rail men are not remote. It is said that the McKinley syndi- cate is interested in developing the section, but Mr, Stevenson would not m the report. The Missouri c¢ and Rock Island have lines in parts of the field, while the Frisco touches the south side, The Missouri Pacific has branches from its Kansas City-St. Louis line to Warsaw and Ver- sailles, which are in the midst of the field. Whether officials of that line had been considering converting the branch lines for electricity Mr. Steven- son would. not say. Development has been slow in cer- tain sections of the state under Which the largest beds of cannel coal lie. Without rail lines, the refining com- pany would not have transportation for its products, But with electric lines to which the gas could be sold, furnishing cheap electric current, the coal country would be accessible.

Monett the other day voted to is- sue $60,000 in bonds the proceeds of which will be used in building a link in the Springfield, Joplin, Kansas City road> The bond issue carried by a vote of about 4 to 1.

Kansas City, April 24,—Billy Sun- day is sure of a great welcome when he comes to Kansas City next Satur- | day. Any doubt of that was swept away yesterday afternoon when | thousand men, women and children filed the tabernacle for the dedication exercises. A deep reverence pervad- ed the great audience—so much so | that the majority was just a little timid when applause broke out once or twice, “The religious enthusiasm that | yed the crowd was such that one lost sight of the fact that here was a ; Vast congregation come together in | the simplest kind of “a house of God.” It was a democratic crowd.

The pledges probably can be restated, if need be, and definitely reformulated so that there can be no possibility of error or question of responsibility.

This view is not official or authori. | tative, but represents the opinion of | persons who are in a position to be | well informed. These persons care- fully refrained from making definite or authoritative predictions, and spe- cified that they were voicing only their own opinions, but these may pos- sibly be straws showing which way the wind is blowing. Hollweg Summoned Gerard. The American ambassador | was called by telephone to the imperial chancellor's palace this morning. He went immediately and the conference with Doctor Von Bethmann-Hollweg lasted an hour and ten minutes. When he came from the conference Ambas- sador Gerard declined to give any in- formation as to the nature of the dis- cussion anod would not answer a ques- tion:as to whether anyone else was present. VAUGHT BRITISH RENEGADE Sir Roger Casement Was Attempting to Land German Arms on Coast of treland. | London, April 25.—Sir Roger Case- /ment has been captured from a Ger- man ship, which attempted to land arms in Ireland and was sunk. This official announcement was made to- | night. 2 “During the» period between the afternoon of April 20 and the after- noon of April 21 an attempt to land arms and ammunition in Ireland was made by a vessel under the guise of a neutral merchant ship, but which in reality was a German auxiliary, in conjunction with a German submarine. nacle: “What time does service begin in the churches as a rule?” Hl Motor cars lined the stréets for blocks around, but the great majority | came afoot or in street cars. A squad of patrolmen kept a clear track in the path of motor cars on Admiral Boulevard for the crowd, but the twenty-nine doors to the tabernacle drew the crowds in and down front | without the least confusion. When the service began at 3 o'clock every bench was filled, several hundred per- sons were standing in the vestibule and the rostrum was nearly filled. The natural acoustics of the taber- nacle and the voice reflector above the pulpit enabled those in the rear to hear easily and no one left during the service. The services began with the choir }of one thousand voices, led by Fred. A. Mills singing softly “Nearer, My God | to Thee,” and then gradually a little louder until many in the audience joined in. Another song, “Hallelujah, What a Savior,” by the choir, followed, Dr. Harry C. Rogers then held aloft one of the programs, waving it and asked the crowd to do likewise. Soon everybody was waving the “Chautau- qua salute” and the dedication exer- cises began.
