q TORNADO

RED BUD, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-Early this morn
ing Il tornado swept over this village. de-
stroying thirty-five houses, killing one
boy and injuring fifteen other people. Two
churches, the town hall, the Jail and 3
newspaper office are among the buildings
leveled. The storm came from the south,
accompanied by a heavy rain, and swept a
path 200 yards wide through the town.
The wires are down in every direction, and
it is impossible to ascertain the full extent
of the damage. There is much suffering
among the homeless victims.
Where last night existed beaut:f nj
little town, full of happy homes, today is
Il scene of wreck and desolation. Houses,
barns fences and orchards were leveled to
the ground and spread over the surround
ing country. The tornado first demol-
ished the Catholic church and school, then
the residence OF Norman Draze, then the
German Lutheran church, and then, de-
stroying several barns, strnck the large
two-story stone residence of Peter Kendall,
crumbling it to fragments. Mrs. Kendall
was severely injured. Petersou's agricul-
tural warehouse was blown down and
fourteen residences destroyed. The IL
year old son of Jacob Koch was killed in
stantly and the mother fatally injured.
Peter Harden, Mrs. Louis Roger,
julius Honu, Mr.. Brennan. Adrian
Starr, Mrs. Emma Crow. Mrs. John Man
derfelt, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. d. Perry. Many
of the people are without clothing and a
cold rain makes the situation more de-
plorable. The property loss is estimated
at 100000
The tornado occurred at about 3 o'clock
in the morning. The horrors of inky dark
ness lighted up momentarily by flashes OF
lightning added to the fear which op-
pressed all minds during the terrible Wis.,

As soon as the more fortunate people of

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE interstate

ion by Commissioner Veazey. announced
it's decision in the cases brought By the
Georgia Railway Company ass citation
against the Cincinnati, New Orleaus and
Texas Pacific Railway company, the
Louisville and Nashville Railway COM
pany, and other railroads and steamship
lines (seven cases in alD involving rates
for long and short hauls from Cincinnati
and other Ohio river points and from New

points in southern territory. The long
and short haul clause of the interstate
commerce law is construed by the com
mission in the light of more than five
years. operation of the law and of the de-
cisions heretofore rendered by the COM
mission and the courts. The main points
decided are as follows:
The phrase common control, manage
ment or arrangement for continuous car
riage on shipment" in the first section of
the act was intended to cover all inter
state traffic carried through over all rail or
part water and part rail lines.
Receipt successfully by two or more car

tinuous carriage over their I;ueS is assent
to common arrangement for such con-
tinuous carriage, without previous
formal arrangement between them.
The total for through carriage over two
or more lines should be the through rate
that is subject to scrutiny by the r-gulat
ing authority.
The fourth section of the act to regulate
commerce is construed and the principles

are reaffirmed, except the ruling therein
whereby carriers were permitted to judge
for themselves in the first instance of
what constitutes ''the rare and peculiar
cases OF competition between railways
which are not subject to the statute when
n strict application OF the general rule of
the statute would he destructive of legiti-
mate competition" which is overruled. -
Competition OF carriers subject to the
act to regulate commerce does not create
circumstances and conditions which car
riers can take into account Ia determining
for themselves whether they are justified
under the fourth section iu charging more
for shorter than for longer distances over
their lines owing to the competition OF
markets or different lines for the sale OF
commodities ut given point served.
The carrier has the right to judge
whether it is justified in making greater
charge for shorter distance under the
fourth sec ion III all cases whers circum-
stances and conditions arise wholly upon
its own lines, or through competition for
the same traffic with carriers not subject
to regulation under the act to regulate
commerce.
In other cases under the fourth section
and conditions are not pre-
dissimilar, and carriers must
not charge less for a longer distance except
upon the order of this commission.

THE CATHOl Lie ARCHRISHOPS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1T.-Profound secrecy
again reigned in the vicinity of Arch
bishop Corrigan's house today. The
Catholic conference was in session all day,
but the details Of the proceedings were
carefully guarded. A leading clerical said
today to a reporter:
Il notice that the newspapers have neg
lected to state one OF the topics TO be dis
cussed by the conference, viz, the advisa-
bility of placing at Washington an ac-
credited representative of tue Vatican. 1t
has been held by some that if the president
should receive rs one of his diplomatic
family representative OF the pope such
action might be construed AS u recog-
nizance Of the pope's claim of sovereignty
The matter Will Ds brought to a crisis at
this meeting" /"
