Filipino S~windIer Arrested.

Manila. May 29.-Following the seiz-
ure and examination Of the books of
the democratic labor union, the govern
today arrested President Co
mez on charges of misappropriating
funds, brigandage, fraudulent sales of
stock and organizing an illegal asso-
citation. Over a hundred thousand
pesos were collected in dues and con-
tributiOns. The books show a deficit
of 1000 pesos. 1t is believed TO be
possible that part Of the amount was
stolen before GOmez was elected presi-
dent. The government charges that
part OF the fund was used to furnish
arms n food to the insurgents of
Rial province. This was Gomez cor
respondence with Guillermo and other
leaders in the field which forms the
basis of the brigandage charge.
The union has a, membership of Il, 200,
IS closely affiliated with the nationalist
party and is strongly in sympathy
with the insurgents.
The arrest of Gomez has excited the
natives. No disorders have occurred
u the governments action will in
crease the feeling Of unrest in Manila
which has been disturbed lately by re-
ports o. the landing Of arms. The SIT
uaIion. however, is not serious.

STORM BRINGS
DEATH TO FOUR
Heavy Wind and Electrical Disturb.
anoe Paralyze All Business
in Chicago.
Four Persons .sre Killed and Scores
More or Less Severely
Injured.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-Comings out Of the
northwest, with all the appearances Of a
tornado, a storm, preceded by mass of
copper colored clouds, swept across Chi
cago yesterday afternoon, spending its
greatest force in Harlem and the southern
section of the city. On the south side the
thunder was SO severe that its rumble
seemed almost continuous. Lightning was
responsible for many injuries and much
damage.
The severity Of the storm may be judged
from the following list of dead:
The Dead. ..-.
Henry Wagner, Is years old; struck by
lightning and instantly killed while fishing
Kate Andreas, 80 years old; fell dead
at her home when a thunderbolt struck
close at hand.
Louis Anderson, death caused by shock,
James Newman, died at the county hos
pttal; death believed to have been caused
by the extreme heat which preceded the
storm. ..
In addition great many persons were
more or less seriously injured.
The electrical display took place In the
midst Of a pelttng rain. The heavy fal
tore the flowers in the parks into tatters
and the leaves, swept before the wind
were as binding as sand. In the face Of
the rain and wind 1t was impossible tc
make progress. Motormen, unable to see
| more than a few yards, ran their cars al
a snail's pace, and on the elevated lines
| trains were stopped for fear of collision.
