ureme court, ADDRESSING the IOWA stare
Bar association here yesterday, de-
Tended the power Of equitable injunc-
ton and Its exercise by the federal
courts. and. predicted and advocated
q wider scope for it. He said: I'm
less the law is to place itself out OF
harmony with the advancing civiliza-
tion. the right to prevent wrong
should have an enlarged rather than q
restricted scope. The cry or govern
ment by injunction will eventually die
ont and It will be felt by all that the
mower is exercised only when necessity
arises and when equity and justice de-
mands."

states Felt the Storm.

Luverne, Mimi, July 21.-The most
destructive hailstorm that ever Wis
tied this section passed over the east
portion Of Rock county yesterday att
ernoon. Besides being the most de-
structive, the area covered by the storm
Is the largest ever known in the north
west. II Is reported that the storm
Of hail started at WATERFOWL, 8. d.,
and continued at intervals from that
city to Troskey, near the north line OF
Rock county. Here the storm seemed
to spread out, extending east nearly
to Worthington and south to Sheldon,
Ia. The storm reached the most de-
structive stage few miles north OF
the Rock county line. From that point
1t continued south with unabated fury
to Ellsworth, distance OF 80 miles,
The area of this part Of the storm was
is miles wide and 36 miles long. Over
that vast area with but few exceptions
there is not straw reported standing.
In this county six townships were
struck by the storm, destroying fully
one-third OF the crops In the county
While the storm lasted less than ten
minutes, between two and three inches
of hail fell, fairly beating the grain
into the ground. Cornstalks were
chopped down close to the ground and
trees were stripped Of their leaves as
clean as though the season was mid
winter. On young trees the bark was
fairly peeled from their trunks. MOI
pane of glass remains unbroken on
the side from which the storm came
while paint on buildings is practically
scraped off. The crop in this county
this year, as a whole, was one OF the
best ever raised. No grain had beer
cut and farmers were preparing to cu'
| barley this week. On about l2O sec
lions In this county the crops are re-
ported totally destroyed. Conserva
tive estimates place the loss at ",
OOO, 900. In most cases farmers In tn

TALKS ON PETITION.
Leo N. Levi Makes a Statement to
the Associated Press.
THE GOOD EFFECTS OF THE PETITION


New York, July 1S.-Leo N Levi.
when informed by representative OF
the Associated press Of the action OF
Secretary Of State Hay regarding the
petition to the car of Russia against
the massacre Of Jews, made the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE answer made by Russia to Sec
rotary Hays note is no surprise to me.
While, of course, 1t was within the
range Of possibility that the car and
his ministers would be moved by con-
siderations of humanity and expedi-
ency to courteously receive a petition
from the American people. 1t was well
understood that the probabilities were
all the other way. The movement,
however, has had all the good effects
that were In contemplation and even
more, 1t has enabled the American
people and the government to make
an enduring record Of their views OF
the Kishineff horror. 1t has brought
the emphatic expression Of those views
home, not only to the people OF Rus
STA. but to the Russian emperor and
his ministers.
1.-THE petition, being now an oficial
document, will be preserved In tine
archives of the United States and Will
forever testify to the lofty humanity
of the people, which is 80 splendidly
represented by the signers, and OF the
president and his Official advisers
There, too, 1t will remain as wit
ness that the friendship Of Russia for
the United States was not strong
enough to permit Q respectful appeal
for religious liberty, made by citizens
Of this country.
az am convinced, too, that the infu'
ence in Russia of the petition and Of
the agitation which preceded 1t has
been powerful and good. The number
and character Of the signatures to the
petition stamp 1t as a convincing ex'
preston of the religious tolerance anc
sympathy If the American people. II
"a doubtful II there has ever been II
this country such a representative
written expression of opinion. Th'
people, without regard to racial. re
IiRious or political afhliation, hav'
stood behind the president In his man
liy and humane activity.
1.-THE precise method OF conveying
the petition was never regarded D.
us as Of controlling Importance, an'
when Russia indicated, semi-oficially
that II would be unacceptable, w
deemed It best for the interests o
this country and Of the Jews In Rus
sIa. to avoid q course that would pro
duce unnecessary irritation. It was
therefore, that we, on our initiauy'
and without any suggestion whatso
ever. besousht President Roosevelt .
Alter his decision to send the signe'
petition and to transmit Its text In
stead. I cannot be too emphatic y
declaring that at no time has Their
!, been any disposition on the pres
dents part to change the original plan
Every step taken was most sadsiae
tory 70 Us and In accordance with gu
