He will carelessly interrupt his dinner to go feed his cattle or to chat with any one who knocks at his door—surely, to a civilian’s mind, a great disrespect to the function of dining, that gastro- nomic ceremony, the climax of the day and the cynosure of {ts ordered pro- prieties.

The ranch house and outbuildings of J. M. Morris were de- molished_and his machinery destroyed and Morris himself hurled a distance of 150 feet. The path of the cyclone is plainly visible for a width of eighty feet through the stubbleflelds of the Morris ranch. Debris from the demolished buildings was scattered for a distance of two miles. Mrs. Martha Scoffield, the housekeeper of the ranch, was blown out of the house and slightly injured and for a time it was feared that Morris was fatally hurt. A heavy wind blew all day and night in the country where the Morris ranch 18 located, but aside from the destruc- tion of the house on this ranch no fur- ther damage was done by the cydlone, which is the only one on record in'the history of the county. ——————— Boxer May Die of Injuries.

Tarbell of New York and Pro- fessor Martin G. Brambaug of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania were the guests of honor here to-night and delivered ad- dresses at the monthly dinner of the Knife and Fork Club. Miss Tarbell spoke on “Commercial Machiavelism,” dealing with Standard Ol and other subjects. Evidence also was found tRat leads the authorities to believe that many other high officials were included. Coroner Sipe stumbled upon the scend - while searching for the murderer of Michael Carrazola, a wealthy Washing- ton County Itallan, who was killed last week. The crime was laid to the “Black Hand™ Society, and in searching for members of this organization, the other bigger one was discovered. George Barli, an Itallan, was arrested last night by the police for the Carrazola murder. In his clothes was found a paper containing the plans formulated in a small house, evidently the meeting place of the society to which he belonged. The officers finally discovered this shanty at Baird in a dense swamp. They broke into the house and found there evidence that may incriminate at least half a hundred Itallans in Washington County. The room was lined with pigeonholes filled with letters, In which the plot for the killing of numerous officials was out- lined. The destruction of Governer Pen- nypacker and Governor Pattison was as- signed to the local band, and similar gangs In other parts of the country wers given their territorfes. Nearly all the letters found were re- celved from Paterson, N. J., but no names were signed. A majority of the letters bore the inscription “G.” and “M.™ The letters were addressed to John Spida, the president; Peter Soraki and Livey Custno. Spida was placed under arrest this evening and the other two men are being shadowed. It is now asserted by the authorities that Carrazola was murdered because he refused to contribute money to aid in the consummation of the plots of the organi- zation. His cousin, Mrs. Lizsle Pessona, a wealthy widow, was threatened with death recently unless she mnm“d $1000. The county authorities are Ve oring to suppress the facts in connection with the case.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.—An investt- gation that follo' the receipt of scores ‘White made a characteristic talk on “The Present Social and Political Move- ment,” and said: - “The fight for the recognition of the partnership of soclety is started, and hon- est citizens, both rich-and poor, are en- listed against the Abimelech of aggran- dized capital, which has set itself up as a prince in:ISrael, and, no matter who began it, at the close of this contest, we shall hear Abimelech say to his armeor bearer, after the upper millstone has hit his head and broken it, ‘Draw thy sword and kill me, that men may not say a woman slew me." ‘“Without for a moment desiring to be captious; without wishing to make any unpleasant comparison, one is constrained to wonder if Abimelech did net pick out Mr. H. H. Rogers as his deadly armor bearer and to wonder further if the sar- casm which he flourished-at Missourf's Attorney General may not be the blade by which - Abimelech shall dfe.” _He continued: ' “What the present mo- ment demands is not that Mr. Rogers and the owner of the corner peanut stand be put on an industrial level, but that Mr. ‘died suddenly:to-day.
