Kansas City, April 14.—Tornadoes which swept parts of Missouri, Oklaho- | ma, Kansas and Arkansas are known to have killed twenty-five persons, in- jured more than 100, made more than | 500 homeless, and to have done thou- i} property. According to dispatches there were several storms. The first tornado was reported at Eskridge, Kan., twenty-five miles south of Topeka. Here many houses were destroyed and much dam- | age done to crops. The storm which swept Eskridge | struck Powhatan and Netawaka, Kan., | nearby towns, then swept off to the | northwest, striking Whiting, Kan., north of Topeka, where sixty houses were demolished. Continuing to the northwest Hiawatha and Manville, , Kan., were struck, and here three per- | Sons were killed and much property , damage done. Later a tornado struck Lawrence, Kan., killing two persons, injuring twelve, and doing damage estimated at $175,000. This storm swept the town | from the southwest to the northeast | and after passing over the Kansas | Tiver continued toward Leavenworth. Tornado Hits Oklahoma. } An hour after the first tornado | struck Eskridge a tornado swept | through Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. Big Heart, | Okla., having a population of about | 1,000 persons, was the first town struck. | Here the storm came suddenly, tear- | ing down houses above the heads of | the people. Many rushed into the ; Streets, only to be knocked down by flying debris and others to their death. | It was an hour after the storm before , the first word of it reached Pawhuska. | A relief train was sent to the scene | immediately. At Big Heart 400 persons are home- less and the work of rescuing the dead : and injured from the wreckage was | carried on by the light of lanterns. Striking Meeker, storm swept northwest, passing over Joplin, Mo., and other sections of the mining district. Throughout the en- tire territorv covered by the tornadoes | great damage was done to crops and | it is propable that the total loss | caused will not be known for several days. MISSOURI STORM KILLS NINE Scores of Others Sustain Injuries in Tornado. St. Louis, April 15.—Three are dead | in this city and property valued at be- | tween $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 was destroyed by the most destructive | storm that has visited St. Louis since the memorable tornado of May, 1896. | There was a remarkable precipita- | tion of hailstones. Some of these are | Teported as being three inches in di- ameter. Hail caused damage. At Valles Mines, Mo., the tornado | | killed four persons and seriously in- jured a score more. At Cadet, Mo., two women were killed and fifteen persons injured. At Shelbyville, Ill., hailstones eight inches in circumference were reported, | while at Anna, Ill., growing crops were | severely damaged by the hail and wind. epee HILL RESIGNS American Representative to Germany Will Retire. | Washington, April 15.—David Jayne Hill of Rochester, N. Y., ambassador of the United States to Germany, has | ! resigned his post.

Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch- cock struck again at the newly or- ganized Brotherhood of Railway Mail Clerks by discharging Clyde L. Duff of St. Paul for alleged “pernicious ac tivity in endeavoring to foment discon- tent on the part of fellow employes in the railway mail service.” Duff's resignation is requested at once and he is ordered to report for duty as soon as possible as a post- office clerk at Minneapolis. Friday Mr. Hitchcock dismissed Carl C. Van Dyke, another St. Paul mail clerk, on similar grounds and appointed him a clerk in the St. Paul postoffice. Duff's transfer carries with it a reduction of $200 a year in salary. Neither Van Dyke nor Duff has decided whether shey will take the positions offered. As a result of the two dismissals, which are viewed as a renewal of the department’s attack on the individual clerks, the railway mail men of the Tenth division are up in arms. BANDIT FIRES ON BRAKEMAN Unsuccessful Attempt to Hold Up Train Near St. Paul. Unsuccessful in an attempt to wreck the Northwestern limited train near Hazel Park, a St. Paul suburb, a high- Wayman fired upon Oscar Funne brakeman, who had gone back to pro tect the rear, and escaped without showing himself. The train, carrying 300 people, was stopped by Engineer James bk. Clune within a few feet of a pile of lumber and ties which blocked the track at the curve. The attempted holdup occurred about fifteen minutes after the train left the St. Paul Union depot for Chi- cago in a deep cut half a mile east of Hazel park. ST. PAUL ENTERTAINS COLONEL ROOSEVELT Former President Discourses on Live Issues of the Day, St. Paul was host for several hours to the country’s first private citizen— Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. He ar- rived on time and he left on time. He was welcomed cordially by thousands upon thousands of people, lined up | along all the streets that he traversed in the course of his journey, first from the Union station to the St. Paul ho | tel, where he was tendered a recep tion and given a dinner, and from there to the state capitol, where he spoke for nearly an hour to the mem- | bers of the legislature of Minnesota and their guests. He was given the president’s sa- lute of twenty-one guns upon his ar | Tival on a Northern Pacific train. He was escorted to the Saint Paul by | Governor Eberhart, committees of dis- | tinguished citizens of the state and by companies of the national guard in heavy marching equipment. The popular election of United States senators, the initiative and | referendum, the recall, the primary, \ workmen’s compensation act and the state control of water powers—all measures then pending before the Min- nesota legislature—were given the strong approval of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in his address to the mem- bers of the legislature and their , friends in the house chamber. SCORE OF FIREMEN HURT Only Two Sustain Injuries of Serious Nature. Twenty-two firemen went down with the roof of the Greve block at St. Paul and Assistant Chief Miles Mc- Nally and Pipeman Nicholas Remakei were badly hurt. Remakel was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital and Chief Me- Nally to his home. Five or six of the others were badly cut and bruised, but none, it is believed, out: of the two mentioned, was seriou hurt. The men were working on the root under the false front of the building, when, almost without a moment's warning, the front fell over on the men, carrying them, with the roof, to the floor below. Man Killed by Joy Riders, Esaias Hagman was instantly killed by an automobile within a block of his home at Minneapolis. The Machine did not stop and shortly after the accident Policeman C. Ander- s6n arrested two men in an automo bile, which was covered with mud, and gave every appearance of having been used in a joy ride. Aged Man Killed by Auto. While learning to drive her automo bile Miss Gertrude Schurmeier of St. Paul, daughter of the late Gustay T. Schurmeier, ran her machine into Frank Shimon, an old employe of the street paving department, and killed him instantly. He was sixty-eight years old. No arrest was made,
