List of Dead in Omaha Disaster
May Reach 250
PROPERTY LOSS $7,000,000
250 Residences Completely Destroyed
and 1,000 or More Irreparably Dam
aged Tornado Made Clean Cut
Path Through City, in Some Places
Houses Being Cut in Two Rain
Prevents Conflagration.
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.

A WORD ABOUT OUR

The style of the back of your spring

fashion of the front, and here you will
find the prettiest conceptions of the Em
pire, French panel and inlaid modes.
Most are cutaway in front and all lined
with rich peau de cygne. The skirts are
draped or tailored on plain, symmetrical
lines.
and smal er structures were complete
ly wrecked by the wind, which swept
a pat'h for itself directly through the
n ost aristocratic, as well as the most
lowly pnrts of the city. 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.
Washington, March 23. By direc
tion of Secretary of War Garrison all

for any quartermaster's supplies. The
soldiers were wanted mainly for guard

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.
The streets soon became thronged

1 are shown in largest stores of New York,
with sympathetic and excited people
who discussed the tragedy which had
befallen them at a moment when the
royal family was at the height of its
popularity.
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
