Half & dozen were taken to hospitals ser- fously injured and half a dozen more were treated for slight injuries. To- nizht the police were still digging in the ruins in the fear that other bodies might be recovered. White House Lawns Devastated. The neatly kept lawns of the White House were devastated. Three huge elm trees, uprooted by the wind, were thrown bodlly across the lawn and up fo the very portico of the building, ocking the drives. President Wilson was seated in the executive offices when the wind crashed through sev- eral windows in the White House prop- er.

The wind ripped 15 heavy paves from the floor of the historic old aque- duct bridge and a horse and wagon crossing the structure was blown into the river. The driver escaped injury. The police rounded up scores of stray ed horses and wagons which had been deserted in the streets or had run away. On the Potomac river water traffic was demoralized.

All _throfigh the night reports con- tinued to come in of damage done in the suburbs and of persons injured in the path of the storm. For a circle of about four miles about the city the countryside was devastated, truck farms swept and crops ruined, suburh- an residences wrecked and trolley lines damaged. Representative Flood of Virginia narrowly escaped death or serious in- jury when in the height of the storm he was driving in an automobile through the White House grounds. A huge uprooted elm was thrown by the wind directly in the path, just missing the machine, DEAD ENGINEER IS BLAMED FOR WRECK Rear-end Collision on Pennsylvania Road at Tyrone, Pa. Altoona, Pa.. July 30.—One man was killed and one hundred and forty-six passengers and trainmen were injured, only one dangerously, today when a fast express crashed into the rear end of a passenger train on the Pennsyl- vania railroad at Tyrome,.fifteen miles east of this city. All of the injured persons, excepting eleven, who are be- ing cared for in the Altoona hospital, were able to continue their journey or 80 to their homes here. The equip- ment of both trains was entirely of steel construction and to this fact is attributed the escape from serious in- jury or possible death of a great num- ber of persons. George K. Funk, engineer, burg. Pa., was the one killed. Westbound passenger train No. 15 known as the Pittsburgh express which arrived at Tyrone four minutes late had called in its flagman and had already started to move away from the station when No. 13, a fast express of elght cars from Philadelphia for the west. running on time and travel- ing about 30 miles an hour, came around the curve less than twelve car lengths east of the statfon and plunged into the parlor car on the rear of No. 15. The impact derafled the locomo- tive and three cars of No. 13 and the front mai] car of the Pittshurgh ex- press. In the rear coach of No. 13 was a party of raflroad officials on a tour of inspection. Immediately after the wreck the officials began an investiga- tion and reported to the general man- ager of the road that they were con- vinced the accident was due to En- gineer Fund disregarding the auto- matic sig set in a stop position 1,150 feet to the rear of train 15 while a caution signal had been displayed 4,000 feet fur- ther back.

Cincinnati, July 30—Two are dead, six will die before morning, one other is_probably fatally burned and eleven others are seriously Injured as the result of a motorcycle accident at the | Lagoon motordrome across the river from this city tonight. Odin Johnson of Salt Lake City, captain of the Cin- cinnati team, who was contesting at the motordrome, for some reason that will probably remain unknown, drove his cycle to the extreme top of the circular track, crashed into an electric light pole, broke it off, and the con- tact of the live wire with his machine axploded the gasoline tank, throwing the burning fluid over a score of spec- tators. Johnson paid the penalty with his life, while William Davis, aged 5 vears, | is likewise dead as a result of the ac- | cident. That a large number of others who cannot be located tonight were burned is almost a certainty, as several drug stores in the vicinity of the place were ! kept busy for an hour after the acci- dent dressine the burns of those who escaped without serious injury. The fatally burned are Orville Hart, Newport, Ky. William Patterson, Cincinnati. Herman Davis, Cincinnati. Mrs, William McMichaels. nati. Miss Bruckman, Cincinnatt, An unidentified boy. The race was the last one on the programme and Johnson, who had won | both the previous coltests, was lead- ing: in coming in front%of the grand- stand he was seen to suddenly steer his wheel toward the top, and before he could right it again he had hit the pole. A moment later a streak of flame shot out over the audience and a semi- | panic reigned. ILiving torches ran here and theresand it was with diffi- culty that the flames were extinguish- ed in time to prevent the grandstand from catching fire.

July 30—Democrats and Republicans of the Senate clashed again in \debate on the Underwood- Simmons tariff bll today, When Senator Stone charged that the Republicans were deiiberately attempting to bring on a panic in their speeches attacking the pending measure. Gallinger Fears Disaster. Republican leaders, denyng any in- tention to bring about disaster, de- clared they feared that such would be the result. Senator Gallinger asserted he has no fear of a “calamity however but that he actually feared the result which he hoped would not come. If the disaster he feared did not come, the senator said, the glory would go to the democrats. Industrial Depression Alreasdy Senator Penrose declared that mot did he fear the proposed bill bring on disastrous , conse- quences; but that fndustrial depression already was upon the country. He cited instances of steel mills in Penn- sylvania that already had closed down, | while Republican and Democratic lead- ers were engaged in hot discussion. Kenyon is Optimistic. Senator Kenyon averred that in his talks he had always stated he did nt believe the pending bill would result in disaster and that the people of his state did not believe so either. “Oh, I was not referring to the pro- gressive republicans,” said Senator Stone. “I meant that the majority of the minority were attempting to arouse the people.” Earthenware Schedule Completed After the flurry of thi§ storm and the later excitement causéd by a hail and wind storm which forced a recess of the senate, considerable _progress was made in consideration of the bill. The earthenware schedulé was_com- pleted except for a few paragraphs which were passed and the metal sche- dule was taken up. McLean Assails Tariff Bill. Charging that democratic leaders to the working people of New Eng- land before the last national- election, Senator George P. McLean of Connec- ticut assailed the Underwood bill. Recounting the Connecticut, directed _particularly against Representative TEbenezer .. Hill of the ways and means committee, Senator McLean cited speeches made by Majority Leader Underwood, Sec: retary ‘of Commerce Redfleld, Repre. sentative Rellly and Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, whom he quoted as as- suring mill' workers that the demo- cratic tariff would look after the dif- ferences in cost of productlion here and abroad. campaign in 5 Charges Broken Faith. “The protection democrats have tried to compromise with the free trade democrats, and this of course, is impossible,” ued. “You cannot compromise with the arithmetic or the compass. You are either there or you are not there.

It ade- quate protection is found in any rate contained in this bill, it is thereby ac- cldent only. Baldwin’s Promise in Norwich. “The Hon. Sjmeon E. Baldwin dem- ocratic governor of Connecticut and candidate for president of the United States in the convention that nomi- nated President Wilson, added his name and seal to the sacred promise when made—for all democratic prom- ises are sacred—in the following lan- guage: (Extract from Governor Baldwin's speech at Norwich, Conn., October 1 1912, published in the Waterbury American on October 18, 1912.) “The democratic party proposes in the next congress fo revise the tariff, but not in a radical way. They are not_aiming at free trade. ~We mean to have a larger free list, and duties paying higher wages in the world, without unnecessarily raising the cost of living to every American family. Absolves Connecticut Democrats. “The five democratic congressmen from Connecticut have done what they could to prevent this complete be. trayal of the people of Connecticut but to little or no purpose, and the 'Teason must be plain to every one. “Mr. President, there' are ‘protec- tion’ democrats and there are ‘tariff -for-revenue-only’ democrats, and ‘when you try to mix them they will not mix, because they can not be mixed. The fact has been, and will be, the tragedy of democracy, if not of the nation, until something or some- body comes to the rescue.” INTENSE HEAT EAST OF ROCKY MOUNTAINS, Weather Bureau Offers No Promise of Relief Today. Washington, July 30—No promise of relief from the heat wave within the next 24 hours was held out tonight by the weather bureau experts.

Large quantities of jewelry were placed in safe deposit vaults ~toda: Much of it was shipped to New Yor!

Hanan Loss Placed at $150000. The loss to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carey Rumsey is variously estimated | at from $75.000 to $115,000. Mr. Rum- sey would add nothing today to the original statement that jewels of great valug had been taken from their cot- | tage, though from another squrce came a denial that more than one necklace had been stolen, John H. Hanan is seriously ill at|] “Shore Acres” and the news of the robbery of his wife's boudoir has been withheld from him. Mrs. Hanan wous not set a figure on the value of the jewels stolen and the estimate of $150,000 is really the guess of a jeweler expert. Stations and Wharves Watched. No one knows how many private d tectives are here, but at least three agencies were called upon for their best operatives. The head of one agen- cy in New York, who had been expect- ed here, has sailed for Europe, but he is well represented by assistants. All the lway stations and wharves on Narragansett bay, and within several miles of the pier, are being closely watched in the hope that the thieves may have been unable to leave town. An effort has been made to find a parallel between the Hanan robbery and the theft at the home of Harry L. | Haas at Long Branch on the night of July 2d. That robbery is supposed to have been organized by clever thieves who found means of locating their booty well in advance of the actual theft. « ~ No Employe Under Suspicion. Iirs. Hanan stoutly denied tonight | that anyone in her employ was under | suspicion. She also told something | more of the circumstances surrounding the loss of her jewels.” After selecting what she wished to wear Friday night, all but a few pieces were returned to a secret drawer in a bureau and the drawer locked. The maid who assist- ed her to dress left the room When ! Mrs. Hanan did. Some time later the woman returned to the room for the purpose of cloding a door that led to a bathroom. She then noMced that the treasure drawer was open and the greater part of Mrs. Hanan’s jewelry missing. The woman immediately notified other servants and then wait- ed for the refurn of Mrs. Hanan, who arrived at the house a little before 1 | o’clock Sunday morning.

Y Ambassador Declares He Has -~ Washington, July 30.—Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson's conference, today with members of the senate committee on foreign relations resulted in strong- er support for his plan to recognize the Huerta government in Mexico than he has received at any time since| reaching Washington. After a three hours’ questioning of the ambassador, many members of the senate committee tonight expressed the opinion” that serious consideration should be given to his recommenda- tions for a guarded and restricted recognition of Huerta, designed to olster up the present government un- | til elections can be held Oct. 26. Made Favorable Impression. The determination of the govern- ment’s mediation policy does not rest th the senate, however, and there was nothing in the situation tonight to indicate that President Wilson or Secretary Bryan had wavgred in their determination not to récognize the Huerta government at present. The matter presented to the senate com- mittee by the ambassador already hud been laid before the president and sec- retary of state and their attitude against recognition had been based upon information from other. confiden- tial sources, many of them at variance with the reports of Ambassador Wil- son. The conference at the capitol today s distinctly a presentation of “his side of the case” by the ambas- sador to Mexico. As a result of ihe| generally favorable impression he cre- ated and the close scrutiny and tenta tive approval given his report by many mentibers of the committee, it is be- lieved the administration will be urged to furnish the senate commiitee at once with its__private information gathered by William Bayard Hale, Reginald H. Del Valle and by consul agents at various points. President’s Private Information. Two principal points of difference fhave been developed between Ambas- sador Wilson and the administration, These relate to_the present control of Huerta over Mexican affairs and to the conditions that would result from the downfall of the Huerta govern- ment. Ambassador Wilson told the senate committee that the Huerta government dorhinated affairs through- out the republic and had driven the constitutionalists out of many of their strongholds, inciluding the states of Coahulla and Nuevo Leon. The presi- dent, it is understood, has information considered thoroughly reliable by him- self and Secretary Bryan which shows the constitutionalist strength to be greatly in excess of the esumates of Ambassador Wilson and indicates that- the Huerta government dominaté§ the situation only in a small part of the Tepublic. Recognition Not Necessary to Protect Americans. The need for immediate recognition of the Huerta government as laid be- fore the committee by the ambassador ‘was based on the belief that President Huerta cannot retain control of gov- ernmental machinery long under pfes- ent conditions. It is claimed the gov- ernment is running ~behind monthly financially and that American recogni- tion is necessary to enable Huerta to secure credit for immediate govern- mental necessities. Should the Huerta government fall, in the opinion of Ambassador Wilson, conditions in the republic will be worse than at present and American lives and property will be in greater danger. The fact that many members of the senate committee took the same view at the end of today's conference probably will result in President Wil- son’s submitting the information in his possession, upon which he bases the Dbelief that recognition of Huerts. came down the Ocean road in the au- | terday that he forged the name of his |is not necessary to the protection of | “l(umubue unxdh mf‘" ;fuolk,é\ sldr‘| road | crandfather, James Carstarphen, Uni- | American life or property. mown as The Fork, leading by a|{ed States survevor of Customs at St. ti roundabout route alohg the shove past | ,ouis, to eight checks, ks Ambkesador’s .

President Huerta had assured him, Ambassador Wilson told the commit tee, that he would not again be a candidate for president A proposal to put this in a restric- tion upon the recognition of the gov- ernment was discussed in the com- mittes, but it is understood that Hu- erta has asserted he would not accept such a condition. The proposal to select a strong con- stitutionalist for the post of minister of gobernacion in the cabinet, corres- ponding somewhat to the secretary- Ship of the interior in this country, was also discussed, as a possible con. dition of recognition. This sugges- tion was offered by Mr. Wilson, as a me&ns of guaranteeing constitutional elections and of meeting any criti- cims of the constitutionalist party, di- rected against the Integrity of the elec- tions. Intervention Undesirable. Ambassador Wilson told the com-~ mittee he pelieved intervention highly undesirable. The method by which the United States couid enforce & guarantee for the payment of the im- mense claims that will follow a set- tlement of affalrs in the republic, was discussed at length. One suggestion was that the Mexican government could secure the American claims through a temporary concesslon ot territory, sufficlent to guarantee that all American claims should. be pald.

Madero Killed Without Huerta’s Con~ sent. ? Mr. Wilson gave the committee a complefe history of lds diplomatic connection with the Madero and Huer- ta regimes. He criticised Huerta freely but advicated support of his. Zovernment on the ground that it <could control the situation in the re- public better than any other agency. Sharp questioning by members of the committee characterized the re- cital of the ambassadors connection witlt' the events immediately follow=i ing the downfall of Madero. He de-. clared he and other. foreign represen tives had repeatedly told Huerta tha no harm must come o Madero an Suarez, the deposed president an vice president. He was confident Hu. erta was innocent of any participation in & plan to kill the two men and that the shooting had occurred without his consent and in fact against his de< sires. Ambassador Criticises Taff. The attitude of the 'Maft administra< tion was frankly criticised, in its re~ lation to the enforcement of Ameri+ can claims. Ambassador Wilson in= sisted he had used every effort to en< force the claims of Americans, but that he had received little support froms the United States goverrment. AMERICANS IN SOLITARY.
