More than 60 persons are reported killed and hundreds were injured, some mortally, by a storm of tornado in- tensity which raged over central, we tern, ‘southern and parts of eastern states yesterday. Property damage will run well into the millions. Definite advices have been received accounting for at least 40 persons dead, with reports from points tem- porarily cut off from wire communica- tion by the storm adding hourly to the ist. Reports from Alabama show the loss of life was heaviest in that state, the number of dead there being already definitely placed at 28, with additional fatalities fyported but mot confirmed. The town of Lower Peachtree was practically wiped out. - Two are dead in Indiana, two in Tennessee, three in hio, two in New York, one in Michigan and two in Louisiana. Accompanying the death lists are estimates of injured totalling more than 200 with additions coming in at brief intervals. Coming up out of the southwest early Friday morning, just as spring was ushered in, the sform swept with startling suddenness diagonally across the country from northern Texas’ to western Pennsylvania and New York, bisecting the Mississippi valley and moving ~ mortheastward ~across the Ohlo_Into the great lake region. Shifting winds of great violence, ac- companied in various sections by snow, sleet and hail, characterized the storm, easily the most destructive of the year and rarely equalled in the extent of its sweep and the damage it did. Bulldings toppled before the blow in nearly a dozen states and death lay all along in its wake. The property loss was heavy all along the storm’s track. Besides de- molishing “or unroofing buildings and Teiling trees the high winds, rain, hail and sleet did serious damage to early crops, according to reports from some of the affected sections. Estimates of loss by damage to property of all sorts from Indiana and Michigan alone to- tal $2,000,000, about evenly divided be- tween the two states. Karly reports of losses ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 or more from varlous cities and sections scattered over the storm region indicated that the sum total Would reach large figures. es fell in all directions before the blow. Not in many years has there been such prostration of telegraph and telephone service. Chicago was cut off for hours from communication with points east. Only by devious routes was connection made finally. Last night conditions had improved ma- terially but it will be several days be- fore mormal service is restored. Rail- Toad trafc was seriously delayed in many districts, where wire communi- cation was crippled and washouts oc- curred. The wind which wiped out so much property and cost so many lives at- tained record velocities ~ at some points. Buffalo reported 8 miles an hour, the weather bureau high record~y in that city. Cold weather is trailing the destruc- tive blow. The storm seems to have spent its force and to be taking the accustomed route of such disturbances out the St. Lawrence valley. CHURCHES WRECKED. One is Ruined, Another Unroofed and a Third Lost ‘Smokestack. Indianapolis, Ind, March 21—A storm of tornado proportions, which ept Indiana early today, did dam- age estimated at a million dollars. Late reports from over the state in- creased the damage, but the death list remained at two, ' although _several were reported as injured. The dead are: Omar A. Vice, cab driver, at Frank- fort, crushea by falling roof. Henry Walters, Lafayette, killed by falling “sign. Walters was on an errand for his sick wife when killed. The wire service of the state was demoralized and many places were entirely without communication. Trees were blown across trolley wires, de- laying the inter-urbanand washouts on the steam lines In the southern part of the state made travel uncertain. Churches did not escape tic rav- ages of the storm. The Methodist church at,@ipton where the Northern Indiana conference is to be held in the first week in April, was unroofed. The smokestack of the Holy Angel Cath- olic church here was blown down and crashed through the roof onto the altar decorated for Easter. The Methodist church at Harmony was al- most _completely wrecked. Three churches at Franklin were damaged. A_cold wave, following on the heeis of the storm, added to the suffering as many homes had been unroofed and windows broken. A drop of thirty de- grees, bringing the temperature down to about twenty above zero, was predicted for the state. The streets of Indianapolis were littered with de- bris today and city employes were Xkept busy chopping away fallen trees, while many of the night police shift were called out to assist in guarding dangerous places in the downtown aistrict. REACHES BUFFALO. Two Lives Lost on Cuba Lake—Nar- row Escape of Fishermen. Ruffalo, N.
