Joseph Meska has sold to Adam fast as Hoover's Guest - ‘Washington, Feb. 26 UM—Anxious to complete the selection of his cab- inet, President-Elect Hoover con- ferred over the breakfast table to- day with William J. Donovan, as-| sistant to the attorney general, Whoi is now prominently mentioned for the post of secretary of war. After the conference, Donovan, who took a leading part in the Hoover campaign, declined to dis- ‘uss the trend of his conversation with Mr. Hoover. After the election. <peculation as to Donovan's status placed him in the attorney general-| ship. Now, however, the names of Williamn D. Mitchell, of Minnesota, <olicitor general of the United States, has taken a leading place in the speculation over that post. Pre- vious opinions of political cabinet- makers have given Silas Strawn, of Chicago, the best chance for it. Mr. Mitchell is listed as a democrat, but he has had support from several strong republicans. There were only a few other call- ors at the Hoover home today. n. ator Hastings and Senator-Elect Townsend, of Delaware, presented {heir respects. Senator Moses of New Hampshire called to introduce A constituent.

Arkansas: Mrs. C. L Nicholson and her 15 year old daughter, who met death in the destruction of their farm house near Dewitt. Storm Comes Unheralded Almost without warning the ham- let of Duncan was demolished about 0 p. m. yesterday when a twister swept diagonally across the business section. Fourteen stores, a two- story brick hotel, eight residences and a number of negro cabins were leveled. All power in Duncan was cut off and while rescue workers searched the wreckage in darkness, National Guardsmen patrolled the vicinity to prevent looting and vandalism. The troops were ordered out early in the evening by Governor Theo. G. Bilbo. The black clouds rapidly converg- ing in the northwest gave Duncan its first warning of the coming i storm. There was a terrific roar as the clouds met and the air was filled with debris. Pastor Tells of Confusion “There was so much noise that it sounded as if every house in town was being torn to pieces,” the Rev. 1. 1. McKeithen, pastor of the Methodist church, said in describing the storm. “Nobody had time to do anything and it was all over in a| matter of minutes. The tornado was followed by a scene of awful confu- sion with men and women &cream- ing and runnidg in all directions.” Duncan has no hospital and while the injured were being taken to first aid stations hastily set up in vacant store rooms & heavy rain added to their suffering. Twelve of those kill- ed in Duncan met death instantly and the other two died within a few hours. Two hours later a storm probably the same one struck Marks and jumped over into Arkansas and came down near Dewitt about § o'clock. C. 1. Nicholson saw its ap- proach while working in the rice fields and was running toward his family when the twister demolished | his home,killing his wife and daugh- ter. Texas is Hit First Texas was the first to experience the tornado which caused estimated damage there of $250,000. Mayor O. 0. Wolf and a committee of citizens, after & survey of the wreckage of Duncan, estimated the damage at 250,000. Several thousand dollars loss was s®ffered by plantations near Marks, while a number of houses re damaged in the vicinity of De- witt, Ark, Of approximately 40 per- sons injured in Mississippl, four were reported in a serious condition, and six were severely hurt in Texas, One man in Arkansas was taken to the hospital. Several pranks of the storm stood out. At Duncan, Miss., an iron safe | was picked up from an office and carried more than 100 yards and a flying store building dropped on a negro, killing him but causing only slight damage to the structure, A man milking a cow in a barn at Cooper, Texas, saw his house torn from its foundation and his daugh- ter, who was running to meet him, tossed through the door of the barn.

Brennan of the Wayne | county circuit court last night told the state senate he would resign from the bench rather than impose a life sentence on a person convicted of four liquor felonies. Conviction of four felonies makes a life sen- tence mandatory under law, Judge Brennan was joined in his attack on the liquor-felony clause cf the Michigan crime code by Judge Alfred J. Murphy, also of Wayne county, who urged the legislature to | make a distinction between crimes of “moral turpitude and mere viola- tion of the statute." “In actual pPactice we find the | prohibition law in most cases, strikes at the weak and unwary.” Judge Brennan declared. He added that he would not change the fourth offender act as it applies to “crimes of violence or moral turpitude.” Reaction in Afghanistan In Favor of Amanullah New Delhi, Indla, Feb. 26 (®— Latest advices from Afghanistan ap- ! pear to confirm reports of a reac- tion in favor of Amanullah’s return to Kabul and power.
