GOOD CLUBS SAFE.
Lockers May Ward OF Iron Grip of Uncle
Sam by Strictly obeying the
Revenue Law.

A Washington dispatch says: The
United States government, through
John G. Capers, commissioner of in
.ternal revenue, in a letter to an anx-
ious inquirer IN Savannah, Ca, writes
that there is hope for the ''locker
clubs" If members will be real care
full. he assures the gentleman, whose
name he is kind enough to withhold,
there will be no interference ON the
part of Uncle Sam. But members
must be very careful or else they may
be pounced upon and viewed through
the eyes of the law as retail liquor
merchants. AS long, however, as the
members keep their own private
stock" In their lockers and refuse to
sell to a member who, through lack
of providence, unusual thirst or other
reason has suffered his stock to be
depleted, there will be no trouble. But
beware the wrath of the internal rev.
emu inspector should it become known
that a member transferred drink or
drinks to a fellow member for con-
sideration. In his opinion, Mr.. Capers
says:
IF an Incorporated club has lockers
in which the member places the liquor
he desires to drink. the liquors not
having been purchased .ron the club
and no sale is made by the club,
but each member uses his own Hqrce
then no special tax liability is In.
Cured.
"Imay say that these unincorporated
clubs in which the members have their
lockers for the storage of their liquors
will of necessity have to be extreme
ly careful that they do not render
themselves liable in some manner to
the special tar of retail liquor dealer,
but there will be no unusual or special
construction of She law to fit the
state of Georgia. What is unlawful
elsewhere will be held unlawful there,
and what is lawful elsewhere will be
permitted there, so far as the admins
tration of the internal revenue laws Is
concerned"

CUT
DEADLY PATH
Sections of Texas and Mississippi |
Hit By Raging Winds.
MANY REPORTED DEAD
Greatest Damage Was Done in the Vicinity
Of Tyler, Texas-Three Towns in
Mississippi Wiped from Map.

Severe wind and rain storms visited
the south and southwest Friday, caus-
ing loss of life and much damage to
property.
Tyler, Texas, was swept by the most
disastrous tornado in its history Fri
day morning about four o'clock. Com
ing up from the southwest the storm
swept over the main residence section
of the city, leaving a trail Of death
and devastation.
The known dead in Tyler number
four-C. A. Francis, agent of the Dali
las News; his wife and child, about
one year old, and negro named Nose
Lee, so years Of age.
Francis dead body was found 100
yards from his wrecked home and the
body of his child was found in the
street. Mrs. Francis was in the
wreckage of the building. Six serious
ly injured are reported. Twelve build
ings were wrecked and in the confusion

Wires are down in all directions
from Tyler, and personal reports from
farmers are to the effect that farm
houses all around Tyler were blown
down. It is known that the tornado
swept everything clean for distance
of Ave miles.
Three small Mississippi towns were
practically demolished. Reports oi
the number killed ranged from six TO
ten. with the smaller number probably
correct.
Mossville, Service and Bose are the
towns destroyed. They are all in Jones
county and are are very small, being
merely a handful of scattered dwell
ings. The tornado struck them about
noon and in most instances is repor'
ted to have carried the buildings in
its path, completely OF the lots on
which they stood. Nearby fields were
covered with wreckage and the branch
1 es of several trees were Uttered with
small household articles.
The tornado was accompanied by q
torrent of rain, which caused a sud
den rise In the creeks and washed
away several bridges. Roads have be

ton being only two attending physi-
clans, two ministers. newspaper report
ers. the court officials and the five sens
of the murdered man.
Yves Summerlin was placed on the
gallows first. He made no statement,
except to proclaim his innocence. The
drop fell at 1927 o'clock. and he was
pronounced dead in twenty minutes.
Charles Summerlin was then placed
upon the gallows. He also denied his
guilt and declared that Lonzo Chad
ler. another negro, fired the shot. The
drop fell for him at 11:20 O'Clock, and
death resulted in fourteen minutes.

AN oGRESS, THEY CALL her
FRANCE SfIRRED BY THE CASE
or JEANNE WEBER.

Tho woman Accused Of Having stranglcd
Seven, Possibly Nine Children Experts
In All Cases Except One Had Pro-
nounced Death Dus 60 Natural Causes.
PARIS, May Is.--when the report spread
on Saturday last that q child had been
found dead In the bed OF q woman who
was later identified an Jeanne Weber the
emotion aroused throughout France was
beyond description. For every one knew
Jeanne Weber. tho "Ogress Of the Goutte
dor as she was called from the quarter
in Paris where she once lived. Columns
have been printed In tho French papers
about her and the sudden death Of seven.
possibly nine, children in her charge
Jeanne Weber was born at Paimpol In
Brittany thirty-f1ve years ago. She came
to Paris and worked In the kitchens OF
cheap restaurants until she married. Her
first child, little girl. died in 1901 without
any suspicious being aroused at the time
that the death was not natural.
On March 2, 1905. Mrs. Blanche Weber,
| a sister-in-law Of Jeanne. found her little
daughter Georgette. aged 2, lying ap-
parently in oonvulsions on the knees Of
her aunt, whose hand was pressing on the
child's heart.
"You arc suffocatins her." the mother
cried, and took the child from Jeanne.
Az the little one seemed to recover the
! mother returned to her work at laundry,
but whom ahe came home In the evening
she found the child dead. Tho Govern
ment doctor registered convulsions az the
cause Of death.
Nine days later Georgette'a sister.
Suzanne. aged 8. was alone with her, aunt
Jeanne for about quarter Of an hour
and was then found dead on the bed. her
face purple and her limbs contracted. The
Government doctor held an inquiry, which
ended in declaration that death was due
to natural causes.
A fortnight later Jeanne took into hcr
arms the daughter Of another sister-in-law,
Germaine. aged 10. Germaine was found
| dead in bed a short time after, her eyes
haggard her head thrown back and purple
| marks on her neck The medical certif,
| cate again gave convulsions as the cause
| Of death
Four days later Marcel Weber Jeanne'e
remaining child. was found dead under
conditions similar to those attending the
death Of his cousins. His death was attrib-
uted to meningitis
A week later Jeanne Weber asked her
sister-in-law. Germaine's mother, TO GO
and buy her veil. promising to look after
| her little nephew. Maurice. aged eleven
| months, while the mother was away. When
Mrs. Marie Weber returned she found the
baby's neck quite red.
Terrified she hurried with him to hos
| pital. where the doctors said that some
body had been irving to stran9le the child
Remedies were applied and the baby re-
covered.
On this occasion Mrs. Marie Weber lodged
a complaint against Jeanne. The exam
ining magistrate came to the conclusion
chat the accused was suffering from form
OF monomania which urged her to kill
| children, but two alienists pronounced
| her sound In mind. The earlier corpsee

wore exhumed autopsies held, and the
doctor In charge declared that there had
been no strangulation or suffocation
The case went I'd trial, and thanks 70
the medical reports and the speech Tor the
defence made by Maitre, Henri Robert,
one Of the most eloquent men at the Parts
bar, Jeanne was acquitted. But now IL
had become impossible for the ogrees TO
remain in Paris, where popular opinion
had found an opposite verdict to that OF
the law courts. She was next hsasS of as
the house Of a man named Bavouxet IN
the country, man who had heard OF her
troubles, and believing her only unfor-
tunate offered her home and the care OF
his two children.
The same thing happened again, and In
exactly the Same way. The father was
out at work. Jeanne sent the elder child
out ON an errand and the Bavouzet baby
was found dead shortly afterward. Jeanne
was again arrested and remained eight
months, in prison, while the doctors dis
acussed the oat,se Of DEATH
The local doctors who made the post
mortem examination ct onoe, said that
undoubtedly the child had been stransled,
but three experts from Paris, Montpelier
and Bordeaux, after later autopsy, were
equally certain Il was typhoid fever, with
the result that Jeanne waa freed once moro.
During this trial Paul Alexander Of Paris
wrote to the Judge accusing Jeanne Weber
Of numbering hiA little niece, who had been
left in her charge for few hours.
Some time after tho BavOnset case Jeanne
Weber was arrested In Paris In 4 general
round UP OF vagabonds. While In oustody
she confessed TO numbering her niece,
Georgette, but later Withdrew the con-
fession, saying she had only made II 10
insure herself an asylum In prison.
She was again examined by the prison
doctors and declared TO be perfectly sane
The next known incident In her career
was her arrest second time as vagabond.
but as abe possessed some sixty Francs
sent her by charitable person she had 70 be
released,
Then she disappeared from view, wander
ing about the country az tramp until
she appeared In company with male
vagabond at CommerCy. where the two
took room In miserable inn. On Friday
the man left and Jeanne begged some fellow
dodgers named Poirot TO allow their little
boy Marcel, aged o, to sleep in her bed.
At 0 that night q strange noise In Jeannes
bedroom brought the parents there and
the child was found dead. Two very careful
autopsies have been made and the doctors
agree that the child was strangled to desth.
Three handkerchiefs knotted together were
found in the bed. and the woman was
arrested and soon identified a. Jeanne
Weber.
The EXPERTS and the doctors concerned
in the previous case refuse to admit that they
were mistaken. It hiss been suggested In
her behalf that the frequent charges OF
killing children have 10 worked on the
woman's mind that they have driven her
to commit the crime. but public opinion ID
confident OF her guilt In every case.
