Omaha, .Marsh 2."). Two 'hundred persons killed In Omaha and vicinity, 300 to 500 Injured, 2."0 residences ab solutely destroyed and more than 1,000 more or less injured, many to Bach an extent that they cannot be re paired la the result of the tornado Which swept 'through the heart of the residence district of the city, cutting a swath lour blocks wide and eight miles long. Five hundred state and United States troops stood guard all night, patrolling the wrecked district. The city council voted $2."i,000 relief to the stricken people and all news papers are collecting mibscrlptionn. The state of Nebraska will probably vote a $100,000 relief fund in the legislature today. The property loss is simply appal ling. By some it is placed as high as $12,000,000. Insurance adjusteis after a hasty survey of the field an nounced the loss to be between to, 000,000 and $7,000,000. .Most of this loss will fall on the people themselves. Few carried tor nado insurance. Path Clearly Defined. In bringing to Omaha the unenviable distinction of being the scene of the most disastrous tornado to property in the history of the United States, not even excepting that of St. Iouls over a decade ago, the b.g '.wlster plainly marked its path, tU width of which may be measured In feet and inches. Great residences and buildings were cut cleanly in two. J:sAiitomobiles picked up bodily from the street and hurled In ail directions are to be sppn In various stipes of :: iif :i:olition in every section of the city. The autos will 'form a large part of the property destruction. Inverfgatcrs bellevo the fires that broke out were caused by Uhe immense amount of electricity which ac companied the twister. House after house, first battered and broken, burst into regulpr sheets of flames and the Intense darkness which followed at i" i.pna : .e heels of the storm was lighted up by half a hundred blazes. Death List Grows. Constantly new deaths are being re ported, at least fifty names having been added to the dend since the first reports. The full list will not be known until t'he debris is cleared away and by many it is believed 2.10 per ished. Among the buildings destroyed were eleven churches and eight school houses. No loss of life accompanied the demolition or these buildings. Sacred Heart Convent was annihilat ed, but the fifty Inmates escaped and were cared for at St. Joseph's hos pital. The .Missouri Pacific roundhouse and the rountiiiouse of the Chicago, St. Paul, .Minneapolis aud Omaha rail way were wrecked. Twenty or more fires were reported, in the track of the storm and every; piece of fire fighting apparatus In' Omaha as well as companies from South Omaha and Council Bluffs were kept at work for 'hours. This and the fact that torrential rain followed the blow, shaking the debris, prevented a conflagration. Electric light and trolley wires were carried down by the storm and had to be shut off in the devastated districts. Street Car Blown From Tracks. A number of persons were seriously Injured when a street car was blown over. The conductor, John Cooper, waj seriously Injured. The motornian, Fred Hentley. Jumped Just as the car started to roll over. The wind picked him up. carried him 200 feet and set him down in a field considerably shaken. Conductor Cooper says thero were at least fifteen passengers in the car. All were more or less hurt. Entering the city from the south west, after wiping Ralston entirely from the map, the tornado swept past the county hospital to the west and swept in a northeasterly direction, taking everything in its path. It traveled east to the river and lost itseJf in the Iowa bluffs. The stretch of Omaha covered by the tornado reaches from the southern limits to the suburb of Florence, six miles north of the point of origin. The storm swept the western part of the city for Its entire length and fol lowed the west side of the valley, ex tending along the Missouri river bluffs. The eastern half of the city gener ally composing the business section was out of the path of the storm, but suffered greatly. Buildings were . blown down or THE MONARCH CLOTHIIG CO.

Some of the finest homes, those recently erected by Omaha's wealthiest men, are today a mass o1 ruins. Hundreds of families saw their homes swept away or damaged so badly that they Were uninhabitable and the occupants were forced to bear the torrential rain that followed the twister. Fires Threatened More Destruction. Following the tornado and the rain came an even greater menace in the fires that broke out In a wore of places. At least twenty-five houses were destroyed by (lames. To add to the horror the electricity failed, wires went down and not only the residence but the street lights were extin guished. Those sections of the city which have reported the heaviest loss of life are the districts surrounding the coun ty hospital and the Child Institute and the territory near Twenty-fourth and Lake streets and from there east. But from every point in the path of the storm reports were received of people killed, Injured or burned in the ruins of their homes. Along the path of the storm houses were slashed to bits, torn to Bhreds, heaped in queer piles as If the demon of the air had spitefully tossed thein with all Ills might. Bodies Blown Hundreds of Yards. All bodies that were picked up hun dreds of yards from the point where the wind had first caught them were found 'horribly mangled, some of them entirely beyond recognition. Vlctltns were drawn out from under the walls of their homes, offering thanks to God that their lives had been spared. .Many are the freaks recorded in the pat'h of the cyclone. Houses were left unscathed while their neighbors liter ally were torn to pieces, splinters were driven through trees and in one place the lower story of a house was torn out while the upper story settled in its place. Shade treeB were uprooted and driven entirely through brick buildings. Wires were torn down and wrapped about the poles as if wound by the hand of an artisan. Federal Troops Go to Omaha.

W defy any GREEKS' RULER ASSASSINATED King George i, Slain in Streets ot Salonika GONSTANTINE NEW MONARCH George Shot in Back by Man Whs Comes From Behind; Lies Within Hour Assassin Said to Be Socialist. King George of Greece was assas sinated while walking in the streets of Salonika. The assassin was a Greek of low mental type, -who gave his name as Aleko Schinas. He bhot the king through the heart. The king was accompanied only by an aid de camp, Lieutenant Colonel Francoudis. The assassin came sud denly at the king and fired one shot from a seven-chamber revolver. The tragedy caused intense excltemeut. Schinas was seized immediately aud overpowered. The wounded king was lifted Into a carriage and taken to the hospital. He was still breathing, but died within half an hour. Prince Nicholas, the king's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving first, Prince Nich olas summoned the ofiieers and, speak ing in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to an nounce to you the death of our be loved king and Invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine." The assassin of the king is an evil looking fellow about forty years of age. On being arrested he refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared that his name was Aleko Schinas ami in reply to an officer, who asked him whether he had no pity for his country, announced that he was against governments. Another account says the assassin was a socialist who belonged at Vole. He was accompanied by an unnamed comrade, according to his story. Schinas is described as a man fifty years of age and badly dressed. Schinas maintained a perfectly im passive demeanor, which was sugges tive of his '-eing irresponsible. When I'r'nce Nicholas bade the of ficers swear fealty to Constantine, they Bhouted "Long live the King." Prince Nicholas is the only member of the royal family in Salonika, lourn lng emblems are displayed every where. 1 remendous excitement was aroused In Athens when the news of the assas sination of King George was received.

George I. was the second son of King Christian IX. of Denmark. He was born at Copenhagen on Dec. 24, 1W5. George was educated with all the strictness and simplicity that pre vails in a Denmark palace. He was put in the navy and it was here, a young midshipman eighteen years old, in disgrace for refusing to obey orders, that he was sought out by the chan cellors of Europe and offered a throne In a country about which he knew practically nothing. The Judgment and prudence of the king shown in all his actions in these trying times were applauded in every chancellory In Europe. Time and again he had kept his country from war that would prove unsuccessful. He was biding his time for attacking Turkey. EL10T DECLINES POST Says Age Is Not Reason For Not Ac cepting Ambassadorship. Dr. Charles W. Eliot In an inter view In Cambridge, Mass., said: "It is true that I have declined the position of British ambassador. My years had nothing whatever to do with my refusal to serve abroad." He said with regard to his reasons for declin ing that these should be made public at Washington. Mr. Eliot's unwillingness to take upon himself the duties of amhassado are probably based on the fact that he and Mrs. Eliot desire to spend the remaining years of their lives at home. While leading a rather active life the doctor has lived simply and unosten tatiously. $650,000 TO HELP POOR Mrs. Anderson Again Dips Her Hand Into Extensive Purse. Mrs. Elizabeth.
