MEXICO WANTS YANKEES
President Diaz Desires American
Railroad Men Of Experience
The Vera Cruz and Pacific Railroad NOW
Owned Nv the Mexican Governments
Road Originally Of American Build.

New York City Representatives OF
the Mexican Government have been
here within the past few days closing
the financial arrangements by which
that Government assumes full control
Of the Vera Cruz and Pacific Railroad,
and agrees to expend 81, 100000 in put
ting the road in shape for speedy op-
GRAFTON. Incidentally, these same rep
resentatives have brought from Presi-
dent Diaz tempting offers to several
American or, as the Mexicans say,
Yankee = railroad men to cast their
lots with the Vera Cruz and other rail-
way lines in which the Mexican Gov
ernment Is interested. Current rumor
mentions the names of some high
priced operating and traffic officers Of
the Pennsylvania and the Southern Pa
cific systems who have been offered
large salaries to so to Mexico.
w. q. Ra0ul, It one time President of
the Mexican National and well known
to railroad men throughout the United
States, helped to negotiate the sale Of
the Vera Cruz and Pacific to the Mex
lean Government, and 1t is expected
that he will have some connection with
the executive staff Of the reorganized
company The Vera Cruz line was an
American enterprise but, owing to a
combination of unfavorable circum-
stances, caused the bankruptcy Of its
hacker, the American Trust Company.
Allan McLane. of Baltimore, was ap-
pointed receiver of the trust company,
and he brought about deal by which
the Mexican Government agreed to
take over the partly completed railroad
and guarantee an issue Of 81 900 900 Of
purchase mortgage bonds. OF this
amount the Maryland Trust Company
gets $4,000, 600 and the railroad COM
pany takes $2OO0O00, one-half Of
which is to be Immediately expended
in completing the road and the other
half will be reserved for future needs.
President Diaz has taken an active
personal interest in this matter and
has informed American railroad men
that he purposes to have the Vera Cruz
road completed as soon as possible, and
that he intends to secure the best rail-
road skill and talent that he can find
available in the United States to help
him operate the property.

broken in two places, Michael Whalen,
third baseman on the Yonkers team,
put his man out and won the cham
pionship game of baseball between his
team and the Rough Riders of New
Rochelle in Dillon Park. Five thou
sand persons saw Whalen stick to his
post and display his wonderful nerve.
When they heard how his leg had been
broken in his effort to win the game
they sprang to their feet and cheered.
He tried to rise to acknowledge the
greeting, but fell back and had to be
carried of the field
For many months there has been
much feeling between the Yonkers and
Rough Rider teams and this game was
to decide the championship of West
chester County. As a result great
crowd was present.
The game stood 9 to s in favor Of
Yonkers in the ninth inning. Two
Rough Riders were out and man was
on second base. The batter knocked
a grounder and the man on second
dashed toward third. running into
Whalen, knocking him down and
breaking his leg. AS Whalen fell a
Yonkers fielder threw the ball to third
base. Whalen saw it coming, reached
up and caught it and put his man out.
He was taken to the New Rochelle
Hospital.

st. Louis, Mo.-A tornado Of small
proportions but of extreme fury swept
aown upon the residence portion Of
North st. Louis, resulting in the death
Of one person, John Ellington; injury
to probably fifty, and damage to prop
erty estimated at 100000.
A shower had passed over st. Louis
earlier in the day, but there had been
no rain in North ST. Louis. The sky
had cleared, and the atmosphere had
become murky and hot, when people in
North st. Louis noticed dark cloud
approaching from the southwest. Sud-
denly. and without the slightest pre-
monition an arm seemed to shoot to
the ground like gigantic cable, twist
ing and turning. The end touched the
ground at Nineteenth and Angelr0dt
streets, and. with incredible swiftness
and force, swept east along Angelrodt
street for ten blocks then turned north
and swept three blocks along Broad
way. when it jumped eight blocks
northeast to Bremen street and the
river, where considerable property
along the river front was destroyed.
The tornado then jumped to about the
middle of the river and struck ferry
boat, which was turned and tossed
about, but was not sunk. Leaving the
ferryboat, the tornado once more
jumped. and struck the Illinois shore
near Madison. where it demolished
several buildings, the Leiderkranz
Hall, and portion of the Madison
Cooper Works, killing John Ellington
A Broadway trolley Gear containing
eleven passengers was suddenly bliried
under six telegraph poles which
crashed into the top and wrecked the
car. The passengers had remarka-

which hit this city and Minneapolis
and Travelled with irresistible fury for
twenty miles in the Valley of the
Mississippi. From all points in the
wide area covered by the tornado re-
ports of terrible experiences are being
made, and it is likely that fatalities
among the injured Will IN the next
few days enlarge the death list. In
some of the villages struck by the
storm in full force a majority of the
residents are disabled. and several
small communities are homeless.
The storm swept through the country
at terrific speed, and carried with it
frame buildings, trees and immense
quantities Of other wreckage. Wooden
fences were whipped out of fields in
sections hundreds Of yards in length.
Barns filed with hay were lifted with
their contents, and the centre of the
storm cut lanes through woods, up
roofing or breaking every tree from
One-quarter to q half-mile wide. Re-
markable incidents marked the path of
the tornado. In one farmhouse a
piano was turned upside down, and a
bed was carried out through the roof
and dropped intact in a field 800 yards
distant. Another farmhouse was cut
squarely in two, one-haIf of the build
ing being smashed to pieces, and the
other being left standing with only
slight damage. A boy was carried
almost a mile at ST. Louis Park. He
was carried off his feet when running
in terror toward his home, and was
borne across fields and fences about
fifteen feet from the ground. He land.

had been torn into shreds.
The damage to property was great
in this city and countless windows
were smashed. The wind rushed with
tremendous force through the broken
windows into the buildings, and burst
Office furniture were hurled in all di-
rections.
Reports agree that the tornado
formed at the confluence of the Mis-
sissippi and Minnesota Rivers, near
Fort Smelling. For several hours be-
fore an intense stiffness had pervaded
this district, and the humidity was al
most unbearable. Clouds began to
lower shortly after nightfall, and about
8 O'Clock the tornado, fully developed,
started toward st. Paul 1t is believed
that the storm divided almost at the

Garden City, Kansas. Made desper-
ate by hunger, three eagles attacked a
cow on the farm of Aaron Whitson, in
Finney County, plucked out it's eyes,
and then with beak and talon so wor-

the afternoon one of the big birds
picked up dog weighing thirty five
pounds and carried it across field.
The eagles had been observed cir
cling over a COW pasture, but there
was not the remotest idea that such an
unusual attack was imminent The
largest of the three was high up in the
heavens. above his fellows, and was
seen to swoop down with wings half
closed and talons drawn up close to the
body. The others mounted high into
the sky until they were almost lost
to view.
Then they dropped like pair of
plumets. The dog escaped by biting
the legs of his captor, and so causing
the sharp clawed talons to relax their
hold
