SHE WAS DOUBTLESS MRS. HILL

No Question Of the Identification Of the
COlonnade Hotel Suicide.
NEW YORK, May 20-There is no question
now that the Colonnnde hotel suicide, "Mrs.
Everett, of Boston," was Mrs. Edgar E.
Hill, of London, England, and formerly of
Columbus, Ind. Judge Ralph Hill, of
indianapolis, has received cablegram
from his son, the husband of the woman,
saying that the latter had always desired
that after death her body should be Gre
mated. One request made in the note she
left wns that she should be crcmated.
Representative LATE Pence, who knew
Mrs. Hill as Mary Keith when both We're
residents of Columbus, and William T.
dord, of Columbus, also an early ac-
quaintance Of the woman, visited the
morgue during the day and positively
identified the body as that of Mrs. Hill
David n. Carvalho, the hand writing ex-
pert, has examined the signature of "Mrs
Everett on the register Of the Colonnadc
hotel, the note left by the suicide, and the
signature Of Mrs. E. F. Hill at the CONT
mental hotel and finds them to have been
written by the same person.

Heavy Wind and Rain Storm Strikes ~

WASHINGTON, May O.-A severe rain
and wind storm which swept over WASH
ingtoe shout 1880 O'Clock yesterday Gre
nted something like q momcntary panic in
the house. The storm was sigralled by .
binding flash Of lightning, accompanied
by fierce clap of thunder. 1t seemed that
the Capitol must have been struck, and
most OF the members in the house rushed
to the lobbies to see II any damage had
been done. There was also a rush from
the galleries by frightened visitors, and for
nve minutes business was practically sus-
pended in the house
The windows of the house folding room
were blown in by the storm and the clerks
had their hands full collecting the docu-
mcnts. The meteorological instruments
In the lobby Of the house showed remark
able developments. The Thermometer fell
~ degrees in ten minutes, half an inch of
rainfall was registered in five minutes,
and the wind velocity was shown to be
over seventy miles "a higher rate than has
been known in this city since 1892, when
MetzerOtt's music hall was blown down
with loss of life.

by reason of high water, bad roads and

RAILWAY EXPERTS
Holding a "long Talk" at the
National Capital.
FOURTEEN STATES REPRESENTED

In the Persoas os Their Railroad Commis-
sionerA snd Others Prominent for
knowledge Of the Subject Attend
Strikes Come Up I'm Committee Report
That Condemns the Use Of tho Army
and the Injunction.
WASHINGTON, May eO.-The first session
Of the eighth annual convention Of state
railroad commissioners was held here yes
tcrday in the rooms of the interstate COM
mcrce commission. There were about $50
members present, representing the states
Of Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis-
eouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
ginia. Simeon r. Billings, Of Michigan,
chairman Of the convention, presided.
The first paper read was prepared by A. B.
Stickncy, president Of the Chicago Great
Western Railway company. His theme
was railway corporations and rates and
what are the limitations to the states con-
troll Of rates.
Reasonable Rates on Railways.
In discussing the question of reasonable
rates Stickney said that in respect to a
railway company which is not collecting
enough revenue to meet all of its obliga-
lions it should be and is only necessary
for the court to inquire and determine
whether the rate Is too high or too low to
produce in the long run the greatest pos
sible revenue from the class Of traffic to
which the rate applies. A paper on the
influence of the interstate commerce law
on railway earnings prepared by w. p.
Clough, of the Great Northern railway,
was read. The report Of the committee ON
protection Of public interests during rail-
way labor contests was read by 4. A.
Moscley, u member Of the committee, and
secretary of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Condemns the Use Of the Army.
The report condemns the use of the army
In such emergencies, as it does also the in
junction-the weapon which was used so
effectively during the Chicago railway
strikes--as imprncticable ard offensive to
the genius and spirit of the American peo-
pie, and permissible only when better and
milder measures have failed. Arbitration
is regarded as the only safe and satisfac-
tory method IF healing the differences that
often arose between railroad companies
and their employees. The report therefore
recommends legislation that shall compel
the antagonists to submit to mediation
and fair settlement of mutual grievances.
The report favors the bill now pending
In congress, providing for "compul-
sorry arbitration of controversies between
carriers and their employees when they
threaten to Obstruct the operations Of the
railroads.
Discussion Of Government Ownership.
A report was read on government owner
ship Of railroads by A. X. Tcisbcrg, Of
Minnesota, in which the committee ex-
press the opinion that the sentiment in
favor of government ownership is due not
only to the practices of Determinations
between persons and places, but also to
the over-capitalization Of railroads and the
delay under our present system Of adjudi-
eating differences between the railroads
and their patrons. They, however, do not
advocate it except rs q last resort.

Village Partly Wrecked and Ten Persons

WICHITA, May a0.-A cyclone passed
over the town Of Rooka, twenty miles

ton is cut off with that place no details
can be asccrtaincd. Five Of the houses Of
