Criticism Is Surprising.

The recent criticism Of DR.. Johr

will not voice the opinion Of most o.
her readers. DR.. Brown says she Is
full of nasty. unwomanly knowledge
which she is always limiting at: she
is unwholesome. And again he speaks
Of the "Offensiveness" Of The Mil

have read the books again and again

faults referred to. but no doubt an
evil mind could easily construe evil
where IL was never intended.

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

Shreveport, La, May 16.-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 man.. people perished Sew
eral of the dead were brought to
Shreveport on the relief train from
Gillian and the hospitals and sani-
tariums are crowded with injured,
several of whom will die. Only two
houses were left standing at Gillian
The injured at Bolinger number
about forty persons. OF these it is
believed only three or four will die

OFFICIAL FIXES WAGES.
Radical Labor Bill Passes Oklahoma
Legislature.

Guthrie, Okla, May 16.-The most
radical labor bill ever passed by a
state legislature will be laid before
Governor Haskell in few days for
his approval and 1t is believed that
he will sign 1t. Under the provisions
of the measure, passed a few days
ago by the senate and put through the
house by large majority, wages will
be based on the profits of the en-
ployer and the state labor commis-
sioner is given arbitrary power
order an increase or decrease as he
may think the facts warrant.
All business concerns in the state
must make to him detailed reports of
earnings and expenses and on these
he will base his decision as to the
rate of wages to be paid.
The bill Is now In conference, the
house having made several amend.
ments to the senate's bill. They are
aot of sufficient Importance, however,
to prevent the two houses getting to-
gether and in all probability the bill
will reach the governor before the
week closes.

WOULD RUIN ENGLISH TRADE
Armours Propose to Establish Retail
Stores Abroad.

London, May 16.-Charles w. Bow.
erman, who represents the meat mar
ket district in the house of commons,
has notified Winston Churchill, presi
dent of the board of trade, of his in
tention to question him In the house
May Is regarding what steps he pro-
poses to take to prevent the Armours
of Chicago from establishing In this
country retail stores for the purpose
of supplying meat direct to the con-
sumer.
This query is based on the state
ment that the Armours are calling
$6,000.000 of new capital for the pur-
pose of dotting London and the prov
inces with their own retail stores, the
idea being to avoid the tolls and
charges levied at the Smithfield mar
ket. Mr.. Bowerman claims that the
putting into effect of this scheme will
destroy the business of the English
butchers and meat statesmen.

EARTHQUAKE REGISTERED.
Shock of Great intensity Recorded at
Washington.

Washington, May 16.--An earth
quake that lasted an hour and of con-
siderable intensity was recorded on
the weather bureau seismograph here.
The origin, according to statement
of Chief Willis l.. Moore of the bu-
reau, is approximately $500 miles
from Washington, but. while it is
pointed out that Central America or
the Pacific ocean west of Central
America fall within this distance and
might possibly be the location of the
disturbance, no definite statement to
this effect could be made. The first
preliminary tremors, which were very
sharply defined, occupied six minutes
and forty seconds.

RAPID ACTION TAKEN
Senate Passes Aldrich Bill as Sub.

NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE
vision of Vreeland Bill Making Com.
gency Circulation.

Washington, May 16.-The senate
committee on finance met and voted
unanimously to amend the Vreeland
currency bill, passed by the house, by
striking out everything after the en-
acting clause and inserting the pro.
visions of the Aldrich bill as passed
by the senate and it was Immediately
reported to the senate by Mr.. Aldrich.
The Aldrich bill was amended, how
ever, by the elimination of sections s
and II, the former being the Johnston
reserve feature and the latter the La
Toilette provision prohibiting a ma.
tional bank from loaning money to a
corporation or investing money In
stock of corporation, the officers or
directors of which are officers or di.
rectors of the bank making the invest
ment or loan. Sections were added
providing for the appointment of a
commission of nine senators and nine
members of the house to be called the
national monetary commission"
Ali of the Democrats of the commit
tee unequivocally endorsed the action
taken except Senator Bailey. He said
that the bill was not in the form he
would like to see passed, but that he
would support 1t for the reason that
he believed it to be preferable to the
bill passed by the house He an
nounced that he would state his posi-
tion on the floor. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the senate will stand by
its committee and that the proposed
amendment of the house bill will be
adopted without much debate.
When the bill goes to conference
the conferees on the part of the house
will contend for the retention of that
portion of the Vreeland bill providing
for the use of commercial paper as a
basis for additional circulation through
the medium of clearing house associa-
tions Some such provision may be
accepted by the senate conferees.
The bill was passed by vote Of AZ
