TORNADO KILLS
 SEVEN PEOPLE
THE TOWN OF GILLIAN, LA, IS WIPED OFF THE MAP-SEVER- AL OTHER TOWNS REPoRED DAMAGED.

Shreveport, La, May 13.-Seven people are known to be dead and many others are injured as the result of a tornado which swept across northwest Louisiana late today. The little town of Gillian, o5 miles north of Shreveport was destroyed and the town of Bolinger on the east side of the river, in Bosser parish, was badly wrecked
 Communication with the greater portion of the storm-swept section is interrupted and it is believed certain that later re- ports will increase the number of dead and injured.
 It is said that the work of destruction at Gillian was complete only two houses remaining intact. The town had a popu- lation of about two hundred. Only the most meager reports could be obtained from that place tonight by long distance telephone from Belcher, which is three miles south of Gillian.
 A relief train which left here early in the night is expected to return about 8 o'clock Thursday morning with the in- jured.
 The dead at this place are said to be Mrs. J. T. Gardiner and three negroes. Arthur Vaughan is said to be badly in- jured.
 At Bolinger the dead are Mrs. Mitchell David and two negroes
 Mrs. Davis mother is reported to be dying from injuries received
 Charles Isom and family of six are re- ported among the injured and Mrs. k. Lincoln is also hurt. A relief train was made up at Louisville, Ark, and sent to Bolinger. The injured will be brought % this city.
 It is reported that oil City, in this par ish. was wiped out by the tornado, but this rumor is probably untrue. The southbound passenger train on the Kan sas City Southern railroad passed through Mooringsport and Oil City after the first windstorm. and while great damage is thought to have occurred, involving the wrecking of great many oil well der ricks. 1t is not believed any loss of life occurred.
 After passing Gillian the tornado trav- eled in a northeasterly direction and. crossing the river. struck Bolinger. which Is on the Cotton Belt railroad, about 70 miles north of this city. No report has heen received of its further progress.

LEWIS ON STAND.
St. Louis Peoples Banker Explains Ills
 Ambitions.

St. Louis, May Backward G. Lewis, publisher, took the stand in his own be- half today in the United States district court in his second trial on the charge of using the mails in a scheme to de- fraud in organizing his Peoples United States bank.
 Lewis told of his first ideas for the organization of his bank and how, be- cause of his experience as a publisher, he saw the need for a financial institu- tion for people of the country.
 Lewis said:
 '"The constant thrusting into my lap of the moneys and condolences of country people who were reached by my maga- zine brought the first flash of bank for those people to me.
 'The thought was overwhelming; it was with me night and day; it became the ambition of my life and I dreamed of becoming the first president of such a bank of the people.
 'I consulted leading bankers every where that 1 could some in touch with, and they thought my plan a good one"

BRYAN PEOPLE
 WILL NOT BOLT Leader Does Not Want Con-
 testing Delegation JOHNSON MEN OBSTINATE Are. Disposed to Take Everything In the Minnesota State Convention,
 Which Meets Today-In
 Large Majority.
JOHNSON MEN OBSTINATE

St. Paul, May 13.-It has become doubt ful whether or not the followers of Will liam J. Bryan will bolt the democratic state convention tomorrow Two days ago it was tentatively agreed among them that such action should be taken If their contesting delegates were not seated in the convention. Today, however, the sen timent against such step has largely increased.
 A conference of the Bryan leaders was held today at the Merchants hotel. and this evening National Committeeman T. T. Hudson, who presided at the meet ing, gave out the following statement:
 "The course of the Bryan men will de- pend upon the action of the convention. If the action of the convention does not seem to be right, we will call the Bryan men to withdraw for convention, at which further steps can be determined '
 The altered state of feeling is due part ily to a report that Bryan has advised National Committeeman Hudson that he does not deem highly radical action as favorable to his interests and also to the pronounced opinion of many Bryan people that the sending of contestng delegation to Denver will "be bad poll tics'' that will destroy all chance of Bryan's ccrrying Minnesota this fall, if he is nominated at Denver
 Frank Larrabee of Minnesota, who is an ardent supporter of MT. Bryan, de- clared today while the conference Tn the Merchants hotel was in progress that it was too late for Bryan to call off his followers. declaring that they would fight it out no matter what word might come from tn cir chief.
 There is a strong feeling among the Bryan people and 1t Is shared to some slight extent by a few Johnson men. that it may be possible to indorse Bryan as a "second choice" there is, how ever, only an infinitely small chance or this being done.
 The Johnson men have stich an over whelming majority of the delegates in tomorrow's convention that there is no chance for the Bryan people getting anything beyond what the Johnson following is pleased to leave them and the Johnson following is disposed to give them nothing

DEVELOPMENTS IN
 LA PORTE TRAGEDY Reports of Lamphere'S Confess
 sien Are Denied MRS. GUINNESS FEARED HIM Sheriff and Other Officials Are Threat ened With Death In Mysterious
 Letter From Brooklyn-Let-
 ter Is Typewriter.
MRS. GUINNESS FEARED HIM

La Porte, Ind, May 1S.-Denals by Ls Porte officials that the Rev. Dr. E. Ls Schell had revealed to them the so stance of his conversations with "A; phere and the discovery of evidence 6,S Mrs. Belle Guinness was aided by A q complice in turing her victims Q farm, was the chief developments ne case today. The denials came from Dr. c. s. Mack, coroner; Sheriff Smutzer and k. N. Smith, prosecuting attorney. In addition, attorney for the prisoner issued formal statement that he had given his client strict instructions not to discuss the charges against him, and concluding:
 'The fact is, that Lamphere has never made confession to any one and never will. He has nothing to confess.'
 The evidence regarding the aids of Mrs. Guinness came in letter from a resi- dent of Cleveland, addressed to the local chief of police, Clinton cochrane. It told of the writer's having met a stranger in that city last August, who gave him a photograph of "a widow who resided in La Porte,' and tried to per- suade him to come here to see the wom- an. The photograph is a fairly good likeness of Mrs. Gunness, and was evil dently taken some time ago.
 Other developments in the case today were:
 Thomas Blackburn of Amboy, Ind. was discovered to be the man whom Ray Lamphere said he saw on the Guenther road the morning of the fire.
 Blackburn was accompanied by his wife and son. The time of his departure from the home of a relative showed that the meeting must have occurred about 4:30 o'clock
 Louis Schultz the miner who is sluicing the ashes and cinders from the cellar of the Gunness house, turned over to Sheriff Smutzer a number of pieces of fused metal which he had found in the tailings of the sIiiice box. Several of these relics are globular and believed to be bits of gold. a
 X new witness regarding Mrs Guinness fear for Lamphere was found today. Ber- tha Schultz. a clerk in 9. local dry goods store said that the woman was in the store several days before the fire and told her she was afraid that Lamphere would set fire to the farm house. Miss Schultz, fore the grand jury.
 Sheriff Smutzer's investigations were again hampered by rain today.
 The threatening letter which came to Attorney Smith is a brief, typewriter communication, postmarlxed Brooklyn, and reading:
 If you don't stop search for Mrs. Gun ness, you'll be dead man in two weeks. This applies to the sheriff. the chief of police and other officials"

Senator Forakef Secures Post pORement of Vote on
 Negro Military
HE HAD NO HOPE OF
 PASSING MEASURES NOW
Has the Assurance of More Support From Colleagues If Matter Is Car ried over-Explains Posi-
 ton On Question.

Washington, May 13-By determining to postpone until next session the time for considering and voting upon the bills providing for the reinstatement of the 1e- gro troops charged with the shooting up of Brownsville, Tex, in 1906. the Senate today found a way out of what had promised for some time to be embar- rassng obstacle in the way of the early adjournment of Congress for the session. After motion offered by Senator Gull person to vote on the bill next Saturday was defeated by vote of 42 to P, the postponement was ordered as the result of motion by Senator Foraker, who hitherto had held to a determination to force vote during the present session in the Senate he announced his reason for the motion to be the desire to accommo- date other Senators who wish to speak on the subject, but In an informal statement given out afterward. he admitted that his real prompting was to be found in the fact that the chances for his bill would be better next December than they now was 62 to 6.
 Five republicans, Messrs Briggs, Bulke- ley Grainger, Nixon and Smith of Mich igan voted with the democrats on the Culberson motion.
 Forakers Statement. In his statement explaining bis desire for a postponement until next session, Senator Foral<er said
 "The reason for postponing action on the Brownsville bill until next December is that at this time 1t was impossible to get a vote even If I could get the bill be- fore the Senate, while next December 1t war the understanding arrived at every republican in the Senate will be under ob- ligation to help me get the bill before the Senate and to set a vote on it. The dlf- ference between insisting upon action now and postponing action until then is, therefore, at this time, the probabilities were that I would not get anything. while, at that time, l shall at least get a vote, and I have great confidence that the measure will pass. If so, the men will have relief that will restore to them all their rights.
 Moreover, there will not be any loss to them or anybody else by delay. So far as I was personally cocnerned, the Pres ident's announcement that he would veto my bill, if Congress passed it. and refuse to enforce it If we should pass 1t over his veto, had nothing to do with my action Such announcements are becoming com mon, and while doubtless they still ac- count for the action of some people, I do not pay any attention to them. What I am concerned about in this matter is to get full and real restoration of these men to all their rights, and I don't in- tend to allow anything personal to myself to stand in the way of accomplishing that object.'
