F. Hagenbarth, presi- dent of the National Live Stock Asso- citation. sought to have the Committee on Resolutions report a resolution piedging the American Association to hearty cooperation in the work pro, jected by the national association" This was opposed by the Texas mem bers of the committee and a compro- mise was finally reached by striking out the name of the National Live Stock Association and pledging the American Association to work in harmony with all live stock associations, local, State or national "to bring about the re- forms so essential to the prosperity of the agricultural and live stock in- terests."
 Resolutions were adopted also thank ing President Roosevelt for his fight for equal rights to all at the hands of the railroads" declaring that the pre- sent railroad law is inadequate and should be strengthened by giving to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to substitute just, fair and reasonable rates for those which 1t may find on investigation to be unjust or un- reasonable, condemning the private car line systems controlled by the packers, asking repeal of laws requiring unload ing of live stock in transit; opposing the tonnage system in transportation Of live stock and asking for a minimum speed of twenty miles an hour for stock trains and demanding that the Senate of the United States shall cease ob- structing the application of that great principle, reciprocity, which we regard as essential to extend our foreign mar kets for agricultural and stock pro- ducts"

yoId AI.o in New York.

New York, May 11.--Justice Gaynor in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn to- day gave a decision in which he holds that a contract made in Kentucky which had been declared illegal by the courts of that State is Illegal and void in this State as well. The deci- sion was given in the case of Wm. S. Barnes against the Long Island Rail- road Company. Barnes was recently given verdict for $30,O00 against the company for injuries received by twen- ty-nine colts in a collision on the Long Island Railroad while the colts were being shipped to Sheepshead Bay. The contract of shipment limited the car rIer's liability to $75. On the strength of this contract the company asked that the verdict be set aside as exces- sive The Kentucky constitution for bids the making of contracts by com mon carriers for the limitation of their common law liability, however, and Justice Gaynor ruled that the law shall hold in this State as well under the circumstances.

HEARTRENDING SCENES.
Passengers From Snyder Tell of Tor

nadO There.
 Vernon, Tex. May 1.-The first train from Snyder since the tornado struck that town last night arrived here at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Passengers of this train gave a correspondent of the Associated Press. who this morning left Fort Worth, Tex, for Snyder, a story of fearful loss of life and prop erty destruction.
 Snyder Is about a mile square. The tornado struck the town just little west of the southwest corner of the township. Its pathway was about half a mile wide and in this strip there is not a vestige of anything left and in places the ground is literally plowed up. To the west of the pathway every thing Is devastated with the exception of one or two stone stores. The course of the tornado was due northeast
 Snyder is crossed by two tracks Of the Frisco System. One traverses the tovyn just a little north of it's center and runs east and west. The other runs north and south about half way between the center of the town and the eastern edge. Not thing remains north and west of the junction of these tracks except the depot building and A water tank, both twisted.
 The tornado struck the town at TAO D. m. Just preceding 1t there was heavy rain storm accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning and deafening thunder.
 Nearly all of the homes in Snyder had storm cellcrs and during this heavy downpour many sought shelter in these cellars.
 Then there was a let-up of perhaps ten minutes. during which time many, thinking that the storm had broken, left their places of refuge and returned to their houses. Then with deafen-
 AI .tarz zad cloud dipped to earth, apparently two miles from the town and with appall- ing velocity crashed through the town. Many were caught between their houses and the storm cellars and killed outright Others remained in their houses and perished when the houses were demolished.
 The Operators Scream.
 The first intimation the outside world had of the cyclone was al TAO o'clock when the long distance opera tor at Hobart heard the long distance operator in the Snyder exchange scream. The cause of the scream was the destruction of the Snyder telephone building, which was a long, narrow in two by the wind. the break occur ring where the switchboard was fas- tened to the wall As the wind whipped off the front end of this build ing a heavy piece of wood was driven into the side of the head of the man. ager, who was sitting at his desk The operator taking in the situation gave a scream which was heard over the telephone at Hobart A young man who was in the exchange at the time grabbed the operator and fairly slung her in a glass booth nearby and slammed the door The glass In this booth was not even cracked.
 The immense solid stone Frisco roundhouse here was completely de- molished and not a stone that was in the structure has yet been located. Not an engine was Tn the roundhouse at the time A box car loaded with sacks of cement that was near the roundhouse was demolished and the

RAILWAY CONGRESS.
Sections Continue Discussion at Wash
 ingt0n.


 Washington, May dissection one Of the International Railway Congress to- day took up the question of concrete and embedded metal used in various railway structural works. The first paper was presented by Sorgee De- Kareischa of Russia, professor to Eni- peror Alexander I. and w. A. Steel, chief civil engineer of the Kaiser. The reports show the increasing use of con crete in all kinds of railway constrnc- tion, including station buildings and water tanks.
 Electric traction discussed by joint meeting of sections 2 and Is looked on as a useful auxiliary to steam trac- tion, Papers on the subject were pre- sented by M. F. Paul Dubois of the Orleans Railway; Ernest Gerard of Belgium, W. D. Young of the B. o. Railroad and Victor Tremontani of the electrical department of the Italian railways.
 Section has reached the conclusion that government and local authorities should accord to light railways the support they need for construction and operation, either in the form of Cireet subscriptions, relaxation of require ments or other assistance.
