The storms were over a hundred
miles apart, the one sweeping through
Bayard, a town of 500 inhabitants in
Guthrie county; aanother through the
t5WHns OF Weldon and Van Vert, in De
calur county, and the third through
Lohrville, in Calhoun county. The
wind blew at a velocity of seventy
miles an hour and was followed by a
deluge of rain, which in some places
almost reached the proportions of a
water spout. All telegraph wires were
leveled.
The storms began about 5 o'clock IN
were over an hour In duration. So far
as known each Of the three t%ornadoes
swept a path about a hundred yards in
width through the three different u
ties, and not a house or eve a fence
post in these paths was left standing.
At Lohrviile the tornado vas follow
ed by a terrific hailstorm. The Bayard
storm seems to have left the ground
after passing through the town and
travelled fifteen miles without doing
further damage. Then 1t struck the
ground again and tore through the
farming neighborhood near the village
Of Rippey, demolishing a number OF
%farmhouses, a schoolhouse and many
barns.
The Van Vert storm began a mile
east of town, swept through Van Vert,
leaving behind it a dozen demolished
buildings, passed to the northeast and
lust missed Weldon, but its force was
so great that two houses in the ont
skirts We're demolished, two persons
being fatally injured.

SUGAR TRUST METHODS
Evidence by Treasurer Before the
House Investigating Committee.
BUYER MOTT A WITNESS TOO
Henry o. Havemeyer's Statements
riding the AmOunt of Sugar
Purchased In Cubn Confirmed
by. Their Evidence.

washington, May 5.-Arllur bonner,
treasurer of the American Sugar Re.
filming company, testified before the
senate committee on Cuban relations
concerning American eldings of Gu
ban sugar. He said that Mr.. Have
meyers statement to the effect that his
company had purchased $4,000 tons of
sugar since the LIST of January last
was correct. No more Cuban sugar
could have been bought, as none could
have been purchased without his
knowledge as treasurer of the compa-
ny. He promised Senator Plat to send
to the committee a memorandum show
ing the purchases made and giving
their dates. All the sugar which had
been purchased had, he said, been
paid for.
Senator Plat called attention to the
discrepancy between Mr.. Havemeyer's
statement as to purchases amounting
to $4,000 tons and the returns made by
the war department placing the Amer
lean company's option at 1926 tons up
to March %, but Mr.. Bonner was not
able to explain it.
Responding to questions put by Sen
ator Teller. Mr.. Bonner confirmed Mr..
EIa vemeyer's statement that Of the
trusts purchases of Cuban sugar 49,
600 tons still remain in Cuba, He said
also that his company dealt entirely
with brokers', principally with Zaldo &
Co., Francke & Co.. and CzarnOkow &
Co. of Havana and New York, and did
not know the names of the producers.
The American company had made no
advances to the Cuban planters and
had not advanced any money to the
Cuban banks for the planters.
No Realty Holdings, He Declares.
While he did not know, he said. he
presumed there were other purchases
of Cuban sugar besides his own com
pany In the field. Asked as to realty
holdings in Cuba. he said that the trust
had none there. He knew nothing of
the private holdings of stockholders of
the trust.

for the past Eve years and that he buyl

Not Known What Was Done at the

Committee Of the organisation of engin-

cation called on General Manager George
E. Evans of the Louisville and Nashville
Road at his Office where conference,
lasting fifteen minutes. was held. Whal
occurred during this conference has NOT
been divulged. both Mr.. Evans and the
members of the committee having refused
to give out any information.
A report which gained circulation to the
effect that the engineers and hremen OF
the system had made or were about to
make q request for an increase In wages
could not be verified as the officials OF
the road and Chairman w. d. Thompson
of the employees executive committee
would neither deny or affirm the rumor.
Chairman Thompson said tonight res
garding the matter:
THE policy OF the new directors of the
system ia not IInowd. 1t is a crucial
movement in the affairs Of the Louisville
aad Nashville, and IL we were to make
publication Of the fact that we had asked
for a percentage of increase in wages,
or that we had not done 80, 1t would
probably BE- unfair to officials Of the CON-
pany In that 1t might have the effect OF
giving the Few directors a wrong idea

A STRIKE MAY RESULT
L. & N. EMPLOYEES WILL PRE-
SENT GRIEVANCES.
Cause Of Complaint Said to Be That
Wages Have Not Been Raised
Since Installation Of More
Powerful Equipment.

Birmingham, Dec. 20-A special to The
birmingham News from Nashville. Tenn,
says:
1t is learned on reliable authority that
strike of all union labor on the LOUIS
Vile and Nashville's entire system is
imminent, unless demands which Will viii
be made in Louisville are conceded by
President Milton H. Smith. A conference
was to have been held in that city yes
terday between Mr.. Smith and represen-
tatives of every union on the entire sys-
tenn, and 1t is known that the engineers
and firemen, and probably the conductors
and the trainmen, will make demands Tor
an increase Of wages.
The Southern deiega ties to the confer
ence left Nashville on Wednesday night,
and were in Louisville all day yester-
day. Nothing was done. however. and 1t
is understood that the hand OF the union
labor representatives will be shown to-
day.
The demands are to be made by every
union on the system, which Will include
Louisville. Cincinnati. New Orleans.
Nashville, Montgomery. Birmingham and
a number of the other large cities on
the system. The cause for complaint, II
is understood, lies in the fact that the
scale of wages has not been raised since
the road put into operation more power,
full equipment than that upon which the
men were paid the same wages which
they receive now.
The dissatisfaction dates back to pc
Rod soon after the famous Pullman
strike, when the Louisville and Nash
willie gave its employees an adjustment
of the wage scale which was satisfactory
to them. The adjustment then adopted
arranged the scale on the basis Of the
tonnage handled by the trains upon which
the man ran. The trainmen had no COM
plant to make then, and the labor situa-
ton was not at all hazardous for con-
siderable length OF time.
Recently the road has been improving
its equipment, and the trains which were
formerly drawn by small engines are now
attached to monster locomotives, the
manufacture of which has been practi-
cable only during the LIST few years.
This makes the tonnage landed by each
engine much greater than formerly, and
the improvement IN equipment has gone
on until the freight trains on the road
are nearly every one drawn by the great
engines.
The claim Of the engineers and firemen,
It is said, is that when the road began
and finally completed the revolution In ite
freight business by the use Of the more
cumbrous equipment the scale was shift
ed, allowing the engineers and the IRE
men less per ton than they received when
they handled less tons. In the eyes OF
the union workman, this is considered
unjust. it being their claim that = more
difficult locomotive to handle entitled
them to an additional remuneration,
which they have failed to receive.
1t Is not known what the claims Of the
conductors and the trainmsn will be. but
It is understood that they will also de-
mand an increase on a similar basis.
