The stunt they plans out is an engagement

for; but somehow everyone seems to know all
about it but Walker, and whenever it's mentioned
everybody begins to wink and grin If I'd run

THIRTY DEAD IN STORM.
Two Hundred Others Injured by
Southern Tornado,

Shreveport, La, May 15.-Thirty
dead and 200 injured is a conservative
estimate of the fatalities caused by
the tornado which swept through
Northwest Louisiana, destroying three
small towns and leaving wrecked
homes and ruined crops in a path a
mile wide and fifty miles long The
dead at Gillian, which had about 200
inhabitants, number thirteen, while at
Bolinger the known death list is six.
These two towns are about thirteen
miles apart and nothing has been
learned of the work of the storm in
the country between. At Elmore, a
small town near Gillian, several
houses were destroyed and it is not
known how many people persisted. Sew
eral of the dead were brought to
Shreveport on the relief train from
Gillian and TIT. hospitals and sani-
tariums are crowded with injured,
several of whom will die. Only two
houses were left standing at Gillian.

Washington, May 1.-THE first con.

The accomplishments of the confer.

Perhaps greater in Importance than
all else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect a
permanent organization whereby a
heretofore unknown intimacy may be
developed among the executives of
the forty.six sovereign states, made
strong by common purpose, and
made potent by announcements which
may not lightly be disregarded.
In brief, the declaration is to the ef-
feet that the natural resources of the
country are threatened with exhaus-
ton and that measures should be
taken for the conservation of the
natural wealth of the country.
