USING STORM CELLAR
SwedMany People In Tornado
Swept Town.
Thirty People Were Killed and SO Se
riously Injured Nearly 50 Houses
Were Demolished Hillsides Cover
ed With Debris of All Kindt Inter,
mingled With Bodies of Animals
and Human Beings Bodies of Two
Children Blown Two Miles.
A tornudo wrecked Zephyr, a village
In Brown county, Texas, early Sun
day morning, killing more than 30
persons, seriously wounding 50 and
hurting a score of others. Extreme
darkness made the catastrophe awful.
The known dead: C. A. Cabler und
wife; County Clerk Thad Cabler, wife
and two children; C. M. Carter, wife
and child; Gertrude Houston, Oscar
Ware, wlfu and three children, M. G.
Simmons, wife and three children,
Mrs. W. A. Ramsey and child, B. F.
Brown and wife, Mrs. Tom Hart r.nd
child. Gibson Clols.
Among the seriously Injured are:
Robert Campbell and wife and fout
children, Dr. Wreen and wife, Profes
sor Cloyes and family, and Captain
Collier and wile.
The storm formed half a mile south
weft of Zephyr and swept down on the
village, cutting a wide .swath direct
ly through the residence .-aid ousiness
quarters.
Nearly 50 houses were demolished.
Lightning struck a lumber yard and
started a fire which destroyed an en
tire business block. No effort was
made to light the flames as the earn
ol the dead and woundcl demanded all
attention. A section hand pumped a
handcar to Brownwood and spread
the alarm. In two hours the Santa Fo
railroad was speeding a special train
to Zephyr with nine surgeons and a
score of Brownwood citizens.
Hundreds of persons In the country
around Zephyr sav?d themselves by
taking refuge In storm cellars.
The big stone school building and
two churches at Zephyr were razed.
Daylight found 16 surgeon working
on the wounded. Brownwood hurried
her second relief train at noon, load
ed with provisions, clothing and neces
sary articles ar.d forty nurses.
At night three persons were still
unaccounted for.
Two children were found dead two
miles from Zephyr, having been
blown that distance.
While the tornado's path was 300
yards wide, the twister swept the
earth for a distance of only about a
mile. Its fury was more terrific than
any previous tornado experienced In
this region. When the first relief
party readied Zephyr a desolate scene
awaited. The hillsides were covered
with debris of nil kinds intermingled
with bodies of animals and human be
ings. The ruins were dimly lighted
by burning buildings and the cries of
the wounded, rising above the shriek
ing of the dying storm, dii-pcted the
rescuers In their work.
Human bodies were found twisted
about trees and distorted In Incon
ceivable shapes. Survivors, mad with
grief and terror, walked the streets
almost nal:ed crying for lost relatives.
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER

Carnegie U: sounding the European
rulers as 'o what sort of reception
would be likely given to his sugges

BANK ACCOUNTS IMPOUNDED
Sheriff Attached Money Deposited by
Weed In Various Banks.
As a result of the Investigations
made by District Attorney W. C. Dud
ley and County Attorney T. A. Sulli
van, Mr. Sullivan secured an order of
attachment from Justice Emery In the
supreme court covering all property
which any sheriff of this state may
find anywhere in the name of Jared
C. Weed and Samuel W. Hofhelns, the
treasurer's cashier and the tax clerk
who stole upwards of $36,000 from the
county of Erie. At the same time
civil actions have been begun against
Weed and Hofhelns.
Mr. Sullivan, like Mr. Dudley, has
worked prrctlcally all the time on
this case since It first was brought to
his attention. The county attorney
didn't permit himself to lose a single
minute, yet. despite the promptness
with which he acted, Weed managed
to have Jfl.150 withdrawn from the
banks before the money could be at
tached. Mr. Dudley subpoenaed the ac
counts of Weed and Hofhelns In vari
ous banks. It was found Hint Weed
had money In the Erie County Savings
bank, the Fidelity Trust company, the
Buffalo Loan and Trust company, the
Marine and the Columbia National
bank. The total of his deposits ex
clusive of money withdrawn for hU
ball bond, amounted to $39,680.
Samuel W. Hofhelns was arrested
Friday near the village of Gladwin.
Mich. Detective Sergeant John J.
Ryan brought him to Buffalo Satur
day. Jared C.Weed was rearrested Friday
night. The rearrest was made on a
warrant charging mutilation of coun
ty records. This step was taken by
the district attorney after a fruitless
effort to learn what became of some
$9,000 withdrawn from Buffalo banks
by a friend of Weed's. His ball was
raised to $20,000.

wait until shortly r.fter 6 o'clock, when
under conditions almost Ideal, the ri
val 'varsl'y crews came up to the
starting point.
Both crews rowed a 32 stroke at the
start. Cornell leading by perhaps a
foot. At the quarter. Weed of Cor
nell called for a slight. Increase and
his crew nosed half a length ahead.
In this relative position the boats
fought side by side for the next half
mile, the crimson men rowing in
strong style hut unable to gain an
Inrh on Co- -ell. At the mile post Cor
nell began a series of spurts which
appeared to wear the crimson men
out.
Cornell's stroke was a 37 as the
boats passed tb mile and a half stake,
with the Harvard crew dropping
steadily b'Hnd despite heroic efforts.
Water shewed between the boats and
the distance separating the rivals
rapidly widened Into a length. At the
last tpiarter Harvard gallantly tried to
spurt but their effort met with a more
vigorous reply from Cornell, and the
Courtney crew flashed across the line
a length an " a half to the good.
The freshman race was rowed im
mediately after the conclusion of the
varsity contest. The Cornell young
sters were a length ahead at the mile.
They rlearlv outclassed the visitors
from the start and finished with a
spurt, four lengths In the lead.

such an occurrence in any history of
astronomy, although we have records
of annnular eclipses for 400 years and
of total eclipses for thousands of
yeirs. The eclipse as a partial phase
of greater or lesser magnitude will
sweep over the North American con
tinent from the norih. decreasing In
size as It passes down through Can
ada and the states.

on Its return trip from Bltterfeld to
Frledrlchshafen, came to grief In an
open field near here. In maneuvering
for a landing the airship came Into
contact with a tree and Its position Is
very dangerous.
The damage to the ship is more se
rious than at first thought. A cursory
examination directly after the acci
dent showed that tha envelope had
been torn, and It was thought that In
jury could be repaired and that the
party would proceed at night. A more
careful exanilnrtlon, however, disclos
ed the fart that the propeller was
broken and considerable time must
elapse before the Journey could be
continued.
The position Is unfavorable, the
ground being hilly. The bow rests on
the ground, while the stern Is about
65 feet In the air. A strong breeze
sprang up toward evening, causing
no little anxiety for the safety of the
airship, which It was feared would
be wrecked should a storm come up
during the night.
After considerable labor and with
the assistance of seme of those who
had gathered at the scene of the acci
dent, Count Zeppelin was able to shift
the position of his airship a little,
and thus give better protection from
the wind. That the collision was a
heavy one Is Indicated by the broken
and bent strips of aluminum lying
about the ground and the half split
branches dangling from the tree
trunk. Enormous crowds soon as
sembled and It became almost Impos
sible for vehicles to pass along the
public highway.
COMPARISON OF BRAINS
Prof. Wilder Says That of the Averags
Negro h Liphter Than That of
the Average White Man.
New York, June 1. A national con
ference In the Interest of the Ameri
can negro was opened in the United
Charities building In this city by Pro
fessor Burt G. Wilder of Cornell uni
versity and Professors Livingston
Farrand. E R. A. Seligman and John
Dewey of Columbia university. Pro
fessor Wilder exhibiting several
brains, including those of nn orang
outang, an unscrupulous politician, an
illiterate colored janitor and an emin
ent mathematician, made some Inter
esting deductions to the conference.
The brain of the average American
negro," ho said, "seems to be about
two ounces lighter than that of the av
erage white man. and probably there
occurs more frequently than in the
while man less development of the
prefrontal lobes. These two condi
tions render it likely that the whiter,
will remain the dominant race. But
there are individual exceptions to the
above gereral conditions of both kinds
and anioiic both races."
