WINDS AWFUL WRATH
Visited Upon the People Of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama-Seores
of People Killed and Hun
dreds Injured

Reports up TO midnight of Friday
indicate that $50 persons were killed
and about 400 injured in storms of
cyclonic proportions which passed over
sections of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama yesterday. Several towns
were almost totally swept away and
the property damage will run into
large figures.
Most of. those killed were negroes,
whose cabins were swept away like
SO much paper. Natchez, Miss, re-
Forts that of sixty-four persons killed
.ir that section only two were whites.
Late reports trout -Amite, a small
town in southeastern Louisiana, say
that the town was, almost entirely de-
stroyed and the estimates place the
number killed at between IS and so,
while at least IS were injured
At McLain. Miss. eight are reported
to have been killed; at Vidalia. La.
che white woman and six negroes are
dead; at Quitman Landing, elevensne-
gToes were killed; at Purvis Landing.
Miss, three whites and nine negroes
" ere victims of the storm, apd reports
of from one to five deaths come from
many towns scattered over the storm
swept area.
New Orleans and Mobile were cut off
from wire communication with the
outside world for several hours last
night and the telegraph companies
report wires down in all directions.
Last night the storm swept through
Georgia, but beyond torrential rains
accompanied by electrical displays,
no serious damage or loss of life has
been reported. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the loss of life or the extent of
the destruction Of property, for there
is little or no communication with the
ptints where the wind and rain did
greatest damage

SHOULD Be PAID
FOR GOOD SERVICE

CHICAGO, ILL. August 4.---Edward Fl.
Hartman before his departure from Chica-
go for the West last night gave short
discussion of the possibility of a general
increase in freight rates in the United
States.
The American people ought to be WILL
ing to pay the railroads proper compen-
sation for proper transportation service
he said. such service we are now per-
qrste return. If the railroads are TO go on
extending their lines. improving those
which are now operated and providing new
equipment to take care of the country's
business. they must have more revenue.
II am not In favor of a cold. calculating.
cruel and horizontal increase in the rates.
am not traffic man, and do not know
much about such things. but know that
there is a proper way 10 go about thing.
and that there Is a bungling way to do the
same thing"
Mr.. Hartman seemed to favor a general
readjcstment of freight tariffs. rather than
general Increase. He believed that many
rates too low and should be increased.
but he was opposed to straight 10 per
cent. increase in the carrying charges for
al: commodities.
els there to be an increase in freight
rates p he was asked.
How can l tei?'swas the reply, accom-
parted by despairinE wave of the hands.
Well II there. is to be no increase in
freight rates. will there be a decline in
wages?" was the next question.
II don't care to talk about wages" said
