EfightfulY Appalling. Dead Now
Placed at 100: Injured. $50,

The latest reports from the tornado
StSiCken town OF Snyder, Okla, place
the list Ct dead at s5. Other rumors
advance this figure to 100. 1t is high

OF those injured there are various
reports, reaching from 100 TO $50.
The storm formed near the Texas
line and Its path extends in a north
easterlT direction for over 40 miles,
causing damage at Altus, Olustce and
other small towns and in the country
as well az 81 Scyder. Reports indi.
cate that the casualties outside Of Sny-
der will aggregate over twenty-five,
and may go higher.
Relief IS being sent from nelghboI,
ing towns. From Oklahoma City
Thursday went 100 men to dig graves
and seek the dead still in ruins and
also a dozen undertakers with 100
collins. Offers of financial assistance
came from numerous cities. Governor
Ferguson of Oklahoma has issued
proclamation calling attention to the

REBEL MOROS
SLAUGHTERED
General Woods Forces Have Fierce
Encounters on Jo.o Island.
THREE HUNDRED SLAIN
While Americans Lose Only Seven in
Killed and Fifteen Wounded Cam
paiSn Still Under Way.

Advices from Manila, under Mon
days date, state that fierce fghting
has been going on the last two weeks
on the island Of Jolo, between the
outlaw Moro chief, Pala, with GOO
well armed followers, and troops un-
der the personal command Of Major
General Leonard Wood. Pala's losses
thus far are 800 killed. while those
of General Wood are seven killed anG
fifteen wounded. Pala and his re.
naming followers, in accordance with
Moro tradition, prefer death to cap
ture.
General Wood, with detachments
from the fourteenth cavalry, the
seventeenth, the twenty-second and
the twenty-third infantry and con-
stabulary scouts, have driven Pala and
his followers into a swamp which has
been surrounded.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with
his followers to the island Of Pula
Sekar, near Borneo.
One OF Pala's leaders deserted and
took refuge in the British settlement
at La Had. Pala, discovering his
whereabouts, landed with a follow.
ing and demanded of the British mag
istrate that he turn the deserter over
to him. The demand was not com.
piled with, and Pala ordered a mas
sacre. Twenty-Five persons, including
several Brltons, were killed. Pala es-
capped to the island of Jolo and or
ganized the present uprising.
1t is reported that the Borneo au-
thorities requested General Wood to
apprehend Pala, dead or alive, and
turn him over to them.

EXPLANATION WANTED.
American immigration Inspector Brings
? Charges Against Austro: Hunga-
rian Officials.

Alau Vtlt@laios
President Roosevelt is manifestlns
particular interest in the case OF
Marcus Braun. a special inspector OF
I the United States immigration service,
who is having trouble with ofhcials
Of the Austro-Hungarian government,
whom he charges with tamperlng with
his official mail. Inspector Braun com.
plalRed Of his treatment to Ambassa.
dor Storer, who cabled to the state
department some details OF the case.
Inspector Braun has made several
reports 20 the bureau Of immigration
as a result of his inquiries In Europe,
especially In Austria-Hungary. One Of
these reports was received by the de-
partment last autumn and another
few days ago,
The first Is sensational in its state
ments. 1t contains allegations, back.
ed by affidavits, Of the Austro-H unga.
rlan governments efforts TO foist upon
this country immigrants who may Iio,
be desirable from the viewpoint OF
American people, The charge is
made specifically that the Austro.Hun.
Ssrian government is paying the
steamship companies large sums Of
money each year to bring immigrants
TO this country and also that the i'm.
migrants are being urged to become
American citizens.
The reports OF Inspector Braun
have not been published, lest the
statements they contain might cause
friction between the United States and
the Austro-Hungarian government.
The officials OF the latter government
have been cogniEant in a general way
OF the contents OF Inspector Braun's
reports for some time, and 1t Is init
mated that is one reason for the trou.
BILE in which he now finds himself In.
volved.
The president, Saturday, called for
the reports Of Inspector Braun and
will go over them himself In conneo-
tlon with the consideration OF the In.
spector's present dificulty. Tamper.
ing with the mail OF an oficial in q
foreign country Is a serious matter,
and there Is no disposition on the
part OF the officials Of the department
OF commerce and labor to treat the
complaint Of Inspector Braun lightly.

WOMAN LIED
LIKE VETERAN
So Declares Trial Judge Regarding
Nan Patterson Case.
SENSATIONAL ASSERTION
Justice Davis Of New YORK Supreme
Court AstOniSheS Lawyers in
Speech at Club Dinner.

Somewhat to the establishment OF
those present at the monthly dinner
in New York city Monday night OF
the Phi Delta Phi Club, an Organi-
cation Of lawyers, Justice Vernon NJ.
Davis of the supreme court Of the
state of New York, who was the
gnest of honor, gave his opinion as
to the guilt OF Nan Patterson, while
making an argument in defense OF
Assistant District Attorney Rand, WHO
had prosecuted the young woman az
her three trials for the murder OF
Caesar Young.
Justice Davis, who presided at the
first two trials OF the former chorus
girl, said that she had lied from be.
ginning to end, and 1t was his opin.
Ion that the majority OF the com.
munity now believed that Miss Pat.
terson held the pistol by which Young
was shot. that ]. Morgan Smith
bought the weapon and gave 1t to her,
charging her at the time with the duty
Of soaring" Young.
In the middle of the Justices re-
marks the reporters were asked to
leave the room, but before they had
reached the door they were called
back by the speaker, who said that
he left 1t to their discretion as to
just what parts OF his speech were
to be used.
I'VE have heard a great deal in the
public press Of late OF severe criti-
cism of MT. Rand and his conduct
OF the trial." said the justice. You
can't prosecute a criminal without
telling what you believe to be the
truth.
I'm the second trial before me, the
defendant went on the stand, and Il
was quite obvious that she was tell.
ing falsehoods from beginning to end.
The very air seemed charged with the
fact that she was lying. Yet she was
a woman: she was young; ii was nat
ural that the public should sympathiEe
with her. People seemed to know
that she was not telling the truth. and
the great public OF New York said.
Why shouldn't she lie? Let her lie.
Let her get the benefit OF her lies
but today in the light Of the last
disagreement, feel sure that most
people are cOnvinced-that a major
ity Of the people believe-that the
pistol that killed Caesar Young was
held by Nan Patterson; was, dis
charged by her; was bought by J.
Morgan Smith, in an attempt to get
money from Caesar Young for the
support Of the combined family.
Il don't mean TO say that she took
the pistol from the reticule and shot
him In the side, but do believe that
she had the pistol and showed It to
Young. An argument followed, and
he took hold OF the weapon. In the
conversation and subsequent strug-
giles, the pistol went of, and the
man was killed. | believe, moreover,
that had she told the story on the
witness stand as II really happened
In other words, had she told the truth
that the second jury would have
acquitted her"

While in Chicago we had the
pleasure of hearing one of her
leading divines, DR.. Frank Gan
sallus. Without doubt he is
eloquent, logical, masterful and
resourceful and his discourse on
the Ministry of Christ in the Goth
century showed deep study and
research, but it showed q wide
departure from the earlier
methods of the church, a reach
ing after applause and an evil
dent desire to create laughter. It
may be that the people demand
this, that advertisement not
theology is what the the public
demands. That fine music, cor
nets and theatrical effects are
necessary to draw the crowds.
If so tits, but a sad comment on
the spirit of the times.
From Chicago we took the
Pennsylvania to New York. At
$50 in the morning we began to
see the glitter of electric lights
along the river and the flashing
of the many colored flames from
the blast furnaces and knew we
we're in the famous Homestead"
region. It was a beautiful night
picture and one we will not soon
forget. Daylight brought the
Alleganies into view and soon
we we're mounting up and up,
twisting, turning, doubling,

details, completeness, dispatch
and saving of every scrap is
wonderful. From the car the
hogs go to the yards, then to
the pen and thence to the stick
ing room. Here is a large wheel
some IL foot in diameter,
around the edge of the wheel is
a row of hooks. The attendant
puts a short chain around the
hind leg of q hog and slips the
ring on a hook of the wheel. AS
