There Are Now Perhaps 200
Graves Filled.
Many of the Injured Will Die-Chil'
lr dren Killed IN Great
Numbers.
OVER 300 WERE INJUREl

Gainesville. Ga. June 3-Latest de-
velopments augment the horror at
Gainesville. At last report the death
list reaches 1853.
On hundred graves were dug here
today. and q carload of collins ordered.
In short while another hundred
graves will have to be dug and more
collins ordered, for the physicians re-
port that 5 per cent Of the injured will
not recover.
Besides the hundred fully injured
there are probably 800 more or less Sc
riously injured, and fully thousand
who escaped PERSONAL seattle are home
less.
The Iescuers delve untiringly into
tho ruins. and every few minutes corps
es have been found until the number
has reached So in this place and New
Holland, which is suburb of Gaines
vile, and there are more TO be taken
out
But for the help being so generous
" extended by the people of Georgis,
Gainesville would be in a sorry plight.
The disaster Is so overwhelming that
the stricken city is utterly unable 20
cope with the situation.
In order that there might be no dis.
order troops were called out and the
work Of rescue and relief is being car
ried on under martial law
\ pathetic feature of the tragedy is
the number OF children killed, little
workers in the mills. At the Gaines
vile cotton mills, where the fury OF the
storm first made Itself felt, tine scenes
were perhaps the most desolate. Girls
and boys, only two of the dead were
grown, were hurled to death from the
top of the great mill. Under the de-
hris Of the roof and top floor of the
mill their bodies were found, crushed
and mangled, some OF them almost be.
yond recognition.
The story Of the storms work OF
desolation has already been told. All
that remains is the compilation of an
accurate list Of the dead and the chron-
telling of tine burial of the victims.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving credence only to those re-
ports which are believed to be trust
worthy, the following is a summary
OF the effects of the tornado in Gaines
willie and its environs;
One hundred killed, $50 injured Of
whom probably go will die.
Eight hundred homeless. their resi-.
dences having been wiped out of exis-
ince.
Property loss OF about half million
dollars, none OF which WAS covered by
storm insurance.

AFTERTHE GAMBLERS
Chief of Police ReinOId Begins a Cru
SADIE Against Slot Machines and
Two are COnfiscated.
SALOONS MUST OBSERVE RULES.
Dealers In Wet Goods Given Fair Warning
That they Must Observe The
Law More Strictly.

Kenosha is experiencing little wave
of reform and Tuesday night the Chief
of Police and his assistants started in
to right some of the abuses that are
being practiced by the saloons of the
city. In the future the saloon men will
be forced to adhere rigidly to the law
that has been set down for them and
no form of gambling will be permitted
in the city.
Arrests are promised this afternoon
for saloon men who have made prac-
tice of keeping open after hours and
the last warning has been given. Sa-
looms found violating the law after
this warning will be promptly placed
in the hands of the police. Many of
the saloons of the city have in the last
few weeks grown very negligent and
the officers are no longer winking at
these violations of the law.
In the past few months the slot ma
chine gambling device which was so
popular in Kenosha few years ago, has
been creeping back to its old confines
pulled out of the attics and cellars and
placed in operation on the front
counters of the saloons. Without a
word of warning the Chief started out
after slot machines Tuesday night.
He began at the north end of Main
street and confscated one machine at
the saloon of DIETRICH & Schultz.
The news of the confscation of the
machines travelled faster than the
Chief, and as he came down the line he
found that many of the machines had
already been removed. The second
machine found was in shooting gal
lery operated by Charles c lllotti. Both
of these machines were taken to the
police Office and the raids continued
during the night. Almost every sa-
loon in the city was visited but no
other machines were found.
It is claimed that many of the ma
chimes have been taken down lust to
prevent their being taken by the police
but they will be seized if any attempt
is made to operate them and the pro-
prietors of the saloons arrested on
charges Of keeping a gambling room.
Nearly all the gambling rooms in
the city have been closed up and the
only games now running are of an ex-
ceedingly private nature. The police
are also making an effort to force OBJ
jectionable women who have been in
the city several weeks to leave and the
Chief of Police at the order of the
Mayor has served notice on these
women to quit the city.

REPORT A SUBSTITUTE.
Auto Drivers, When Negligent Made Re-
spOnsible for Damages.

A substitute bill has been drawn for
the Moldenhauer automobile bill by
Chairman Cody and Representative
Martin, as subcommittee of the AS
emily judiciary committee, whereby
the drivers of automobiles are made re.
sponsible for all damages resulting
through negligent acts on their part.
1t was reported for passage by the
committee last night.
The Registration features of the
Moldenhauer bill, and which were con-
tanned in the substitute offered in be-
half of the rMilwaukee Automobile
Club, are retained in the committee
bill with the exception that fee of SIS
is to be required in place of ST.. Regis
tration must be made with secretary of
state. All automobiles are to be num-
bered. In addition to the numbers the
secretary of state must be furnished
with brief description of the charac-
ter of the vehicle. The bill also requires
automobiles to be equipped with Ian
terms, which must be lighted one hour
after sunset.
The speed regulation features of the
Moldenhauer bill is done away with.
That is to be left to the various muni-
cipalities to regulate by ordinance.
The section of the Moldenhauer bill,
considered by the automobile owners
as the most obnoxious, which required
the automobile drivers to stop on
signal given by any person driving
horse or any animal along the high
way, is eliminated and in its place is
the provision holding the drivers and
owners of automobiles responsible for
all damage. The committee is of the
opinion that careful drivers will have
no difficulty, while law cannot be
made too drastic to reach the offenders.
those who delight to speed along the
highways at break-neck speed, re
CARELESS of the rights Of others.
The automobile owners wanted the
committee to enact speed regulation
ordinance so that the regulation would
be uniform throughout the state in
every municipality, but the committee
takes the ground that that duty devol.
YES upon the municipality and the
Legislature ought not to interfere.
This bill is satisfactory to Kenosha
auto manufacturers.
