USING STORM CELLAR
S wed Many People In Tornado
Swept Town.
Thirty People Were Killed and 50 Se
riously Injured Nearly 50 Houses
Were Demolished Hillsides Cover
ed With Debris or All Kindt Inter
mingled With Bodies of Animals
and Human Beings Bodies of Two
Children Blown Two Miles.
A tornado wrecked Zephyr, a village
In Brown rounty, Texas, early Sun
day morning, killing more thau 30
persons, seriously wounding 00 and
hurting a score of others. Extreme
darkness made the catastrophe awful.
The known dead: C. A. Cabler and
wife; County Clerk Thad Cabbf, wife
and two children; C. M. Carter, wife
and child; Gertrude Houston, Oscar
Ware, wife and three children, M. G.
Simmons, wife and three children,
Mrs. W. A. Ramsey and child, B. F.
Brown and wife, Mrs. Tom Hart end
child, Gibson Clois.
Among the seriously Injured are:
Robert Campbell and wire and font
children. Dr. Wreen and wife, Profes
hoc Cloyes and family, and Captain
Collier and wlt'e.
The storm formed half a mile south
west or Zephyr and swept down on the
village, cutting a wide swath direct
ly through the residence nd oiisiness
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 fight the flames as the care
ol the dead and woundcl demanded all
attention. A section havl pumped a
handcar to Brownwood and spread
the alarm. In two hours the Santa Fa
railroad was speeding a special train
to Zephyr with nine surgeons and a
score of Urownwood citizens.
Hundreds of persons In the country
around Zephyr sav?d themselves by
taking refuge in btorni cellars.
The big stone school building and
two churches at Zephyr were razed.
Daylight round 18 surgeons working
on the wounded. Brownwood hurried
her second relief train at noon, load
ed with provisions, clothing and neces
sary articles and rorty nurses.
At night three persons were still
unaccounted for.
Two children were round dead two
miles rrom Zephyr, having been
blown that distance.
While the tornado's path was 300
yards wide, the twister swept the
earth ror a distance or only about a
mile. Its rury was more terrific than
any previous tornado experienced In
this region. When the first reller
party reached Zephyr a desolate scene
awaited. The hillsides were covered
with debris of all kinds Intermingled
with bodies or animals and human be
ings. The rulnp were dimly lighted
by burning buildings and the cries of
the wounded, rising above the shriek
ing or the dying storm, greeted the
rescuers In their work.
Human bodies were round twisted
about trees and distorted in incon
ceivable shapes. Survivors, mud with
grler and terror, walked the streets
almost nal:ed crying for lost relatives.
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER

Carnegie Proposes to Call Conference
to Arraign England and Germany.

Carnegie f sounding the European
rulers as 'o what sort or reception
would be likely given to his sugges
tion that the United States call a con

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 or Jared
C. Weed and Samuel W. Horhelns, the
treasurer's cashier and the tax clerk
who stole upwards or $36,000 rrom the
county or Erie. At the same time
civil actions have been beguii against
Weed and Horhelns.
Mr. Sullivan, like Mr. Dudley, has
worked prrctlcally nil 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 50.150 withdrawn rrom the
banks before the money could be at
tached. Mr. Dudley subpoenaed the ac
counts or Weed and Horhelns In vari
ous banks. It was found that Weed
had money in the Erie County Savings
bank, the Fidelity Trust company, the
Buffalo Aun nnd Trust company, the
Marine and the Columbia National
bank. Tht total of his deposits ex
clusive of money withdrawn for his
ball bond, amounted to $39,680.
Samuel W. Mofhelns was arrested
Friday near the village of Gladwin,
Mich. Detective Sergeant John J.
Ryan brought htm 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 bail was
raised to $20,000.

old. He became a messenger boy and
later, after learning how to "send,"
went to Pittsburg. Carnegie, accord
ing to Lenox, was receiving then, as a
clerk, less than $10 a week. Because

came rast rrlends.

paign, and Ienox Is one or the 40 odd

Among the Important news heralded

E

Series of Spurts at the Mile Post
Which Seemed to Wear the Crlm
ton Men Out Courtney Crew Won
by a Length and a Half Cornell
Freshmen Outclassed the Visitors
From the Start.

men met and easily defeated their
Harvard rivals iti both the 'varsity
and rreshmen events for elght-oared
crews, winning the "big" race by a
length and a hair, In 10 minutes 41 sec
onds, and the rreshmen event by four
lengths, In 11 minutes flat. In both
faces the Cornell crew led rrom start
to finish.
More than 15,000 persons witnessed
the two contests, either fiom the ob
servation trains and boat or rrom the
shores or Cayuga lake. The races
were late In getting started. The lake
was fairly smooth early In the after
noon, but Coach Courtney decided to
wait until shortly r.fter 6 o'clock, when
under conditions almost Ideal, the ri
val 'varsity 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 or Cor
nell called for a slight Increase and
his crew nosed hair 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 but unable to gain an
Inch on Cp'pII. 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 the mile and a half stake,
with the Harvard crew dropping
steadily b'Mnd despite heroic efforts.
Water shewed between the boats and
the distance separating the rivals
rapidly widened Into a length. At the
last quarter Harvard gallantly tried to
spurt but their effort met with a more
vigorous reply rrom 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 or the
'varsity contest. The Cornell young
sters were a length ahead at the mile.
They clearlv outclassed the visitors
rrom the start and finished with a
spurt, four lengths In the lead.

years. The eclipse as a partial phase

DISASTER TO AIRSHIP.
After Count Zeppelin Had Covered 850
Miles In 37 Hour.
Goephlngen, June 1. After covering
a distance of about 850 miles In 37
hours, Count Zeppelin's new airship,
on Its return trip from Bltterfeld to
Frledric.hshafon, came to grler 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 arter the acci
dent showed that the envelope had
been torn, and it was thought that in
jury could be repaired and that the
party would proceed at night. A more
carefol examination, 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 satety 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 some or those who
had gathered at the scene or the acci
dent, Count Zeppelin was able to shirt
the position or his airship a little,
and thus give better protection rrom
the wind. That the collision was a
heavy one is indicate by the broken
and bent strips or aluminum lying
about the ground and the hair split
branches dangling rrom the tree
trunk. Enormous crowds soon as
sembled and It became almost impos
sible Tor vehicles to pass along the
public highway.
COMPARISON OF BRAINS
Prof. Wilder Says That of the Averags
Negro I 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. Sellgman and John
Dewey of Columbia university. Pro
fessor Wilder exhibiting several
brains, including those of an 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, an . probnbly there
occurs more frequently than in the
white man less development or the
prerrontal lobes. These two condi
tions render it likely that the whites
will remain the dominant race. But
there are Individual exceptions to the
above general conditions or both kinds
and among both races."
