Of great Anglo-American bank, with
Il capital of $1,O0O,000,0O0 1t is said
that 1t is proposed to abolish all Of
the principal financial agencies and

American business.
The proposed institution, It Is said,
is intended to be the principal agency
for the already vast and rapidly grow
ing banking transactions between
Europe and America.
Mr.. Morgan is understood to have
associated with him in tie stupendous
undertaking not only the principal cap
italists who aided him in the organ
ization of the United States Steel Cor
poration, but also the Rothschilds. The

Several times since the panic Of

that Mr.. Morgan intended to organize

These reports have been invariably de-

OKLAHOMA VISITED BY
TERRIBLE TORNADO

Wichita. Kan, June 10-The most
disastrous storm which has ever Wis.,

ty Friday night. A tornado struck
Billings, Eddy and Tonkawa and its
influence covered stretch Of country
ten miles wide and thrty-six miles
long. Eddy was wiped out and sew
eral lives are reported lost.
Nearly every farm house In north
western Kay county is more Or less
injured, not n windmill has been left
standing and the face OF the country
Is covered with debris.
Blackwell suffered considerably.
Practically every piece OF glass In the
city has been broken. II the reports
OF damage are correct, including the
damage to crops from wind and hall,
1t will he more than 100000.
The tornado was ficrccst at Eddy,
where Bob McGrafiin was killed out
right and his mother fatally wounded.
A telephone message from Enid says
the fatalities at Eddy were seven per-
sons, but the report cannot be con-
firmed.
1t Is evident that II was not the
same tornado that struck all the places.
II Is probable that three separate
twisters prevailed at practically the
same time.
At Eddy only two houses remain
standing. II was n small town. The
prevalcncy OF cyclone cellars undoubt-
edly saved many lives.
1t is estimated that not less than 1G0
houses In Blackwell, Eddy, Billings
and Tonkawa We're injured.
The office OF one tornado insurance
company out OF forty-three doing bus
