THIRTY VICTIMS OF TORNADO,
In Addition to Fatalities Already Re.

northwest Louisiana yesterday even

leaving wrecked homes and ruined
crops in a path a mile wide and 80
miles long. The dead at Gillian,
which had about 200 inhabitants,
number 1s, while at Bollinger the
known death list is six. These towns
are about Is miles apart and nothing
has been learned Of the work Of the
storm in the country between. At
Elmore. small town near Gillian,
several houses were destroyed and it is
not known how many people perish
ed. Several of the dead were brought
to Shreveport on the relief train from
Gillian this morning and the hospit-
ais and sanitariums are crowded with
injured, several Of whom will die.
The Injured at Bollinger number
about 40 persons, some of whom have
been brought here. OF these, it is
believe that not more than three or
four will die.
Only two houses were left at Gill
liam, where the force of the storm
was greatest. OF the seven members
Of the Gardner family, none escaped
without injury. Mrs. Gardner was
killed by the falling timbers Of her
home and the other members Of the
family were bruised under the debris,
but were extricated. A food Of rain
following the tornado made the work
of rescue very difficult in the dark
ness.
A relief train was sent to Gillian
from Shreveport last night and re-
turned this morning at daylight
bringing several of the dead and
many wounded. Another train was
fitted out today and reached the
stricken town this afternoon, but has
not yet returned. Prompt steps
have been taken to succor all who
are in need.

A Movement OH New Lines.

I1cIdlu.
The present movement for tariff re
vision differs from former movements
toward the same end, in that it pro-
ceeds not from reformatory idealism,
but from the practical conviction Of
captain of industry that the time has
come when it will be to our material
advantage to recast Dingley sched-
ules. Secretary Taft recognized this
fact when, in his Columbus speech,
he planted himself on the platform
Of the American Association of Manu-
facturers. body which advocates
tariff revision for purely business
reasons. A similar view is taken Of
tariff revision by President Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia Univer-
sity, who thus presents the tariff situ-
alton:
'The time has come when the
Dingley tariff has got to be revised,
In the interest of business itself, and
not in any sense as an attack on busi-
ness or as a disturbance to business.
1t seems to me clear that the vast
majority Of the people Of the coun-
try Of all parties virtually accept the
protectionist principle, but financial
and commercial developments of the
last decade make it necessary to face
without delay q revision not. to be up
-as some people are insane enough
to suppose-but down."
President Butler adds to these rea-
sons for revision the further one that
the collection of a surplus revenue at
time when every dollar is needed in
the channels of trade is unstatesman-
ike and uneconomic. AS this surplus
|, revenue comes largely from tariff
taxes. the logical remedy for the sur
plus is a reduction Of those taxes.
Henry w. Whitney, who is making
a campaign for the Democratic Guber-
material nomination in Massachusetts
on a tariff revision platform stands
for moderate measure Of tariff re-
duction. He attributes the failure of
the Democratic party to achieve tariff
reform to the apprehension aroused
that 1t was going further than was
advisable. and in spite of adverse
criticism. Mr.. Whitney holds to the
belief that 1t is better to attempt a
practical revision. that will commend
itself to business men generally, than
to engage In doctrinaire assaults on
IT.

POSTAL LAWS ARE EVADED.
Resort to Tricks to Have
Their Packages Dcliyered-Warn.
ings to the POstmastCrs.

Washington, May 14.-Information
having reached the postoffice depart
ment of certain methods by which
the postal laws in regard 20 the mail
able and unmailable merchandise on
rural routes have been evaded, Fourth
Assistant Postmaster Degraw has
taken steps to prevent future evas-
ions.
Rural carriers are permitted to de-
liver as express matter for hire, for
patrons of their routes, unmailable
merchandise and packages of mail
able merchandise weighing in excess
of four pounds. An example of the
abuse Of this privilege is that of a
merchant who sent out by rural car
rier as extra matter a pair Of shoes
to which he added a bag of salt to
make the package overweight and to
avoid paying postage so that the
carrier might carry the package for
hire.
In view of such abuses, Mr.. Degraw
has issued the following statement:
"All packages Of merchandise to be
sent out by rural carriers by mer-
chants Of the town should be present
ed at postoffices for inspection and
in case it is found that extraneous mat
ter not ordered by the patrons has
been added to any mailable matter
or package for the purpose Of making
such matter unavailable, postmasters
should refuse to permit the carrier to
carry any such matter or package for
hire outside Of the mails, and rural
carriers should not receive any mail
matter from patrons as unmailable
matter for hire which they suspect
has been made unavailable by such
devices as adopted by the merchant
referred to-"
