The dam- age was roughly estimated ¢o- night at 1 million dollars, but might even exceed that figure. The storm swept over the city in a southeasterly direction, demol- ishing practically everything in a/ path almost two blocks wide and more than ten blocks long. For several hours the city was entirely eut off from communication. Appeals for help were sent out by Mayor Leb Watkins and Gov- ernor Goodrich was asked to send troops to police the city, which is in darkness, owing to the demoli- tion of the power plant. The exact number of dead may not be known for a day or two, as practically all the bodies thus far found have been dug out of the wreek of their homes, Confusion and disorder fol- lowed in the path of the storm.

It also ends a fight for senate cloture, inaugur- ated 68 years ago by Henry Clay, instigator of the rule that limited debate in the house at that time. While President Wilson must be given credit for having broken down the system that has enabled a handful of men to stifle legis- ‘ation in the Senate, his task was easier by the fact that there had been a growing sentiment for Sen- ate cloture for four years. | Even before the Presidents ring- ing denunciation of last Sunday of the little coterie that killed the armed neutrality bill, it has been deeided to make the cloture fight .during the present special session | of the Senate.
