riously injured in the most terrific
windstorm that has struck Toledo in
years, causing thousands of dollars

velocity of 20 miles an hour. Build
ings were partially wrecked, windows
broken, wagons toppled over and trees
blown over by the gale, delaying traf-
fic on several Of the city and interur-
ban car lines for hours. The police
department was kept busy throughout
the day rushing TO the aid of the in
jured. Business was at a standstill
all over the city, many of the down
town stores being practically deserted.
So strong was the wind that few peo-
pie ventured to walk to work. Those
who did were frequently brought to a
standstill by the force OF the wind,
and Il was a common sight to see men
and women clinging to trees and
fences to keep from being blown over.
The mammoth roof of the Toledo Mas
sillon Bridge Co. was picked up and
dropped, mass of broken timbers,
into the building, throwing hundreds
out of work.

other amendments. Speaker Cannon.

amendment to reduce the duty. took

Among the other important amend
ments that have been made since the
bill came from committee were those
striking out the provision for a duty
on tea and the countervailing duty
proviso on coffee. The elimination OF
the maximum duty of 20 per cent. on
coffee, contained in the maximum and

significant.

What Taft Said

Last week the princess powers and poten-
tates of Papa Pius's church had grand con-
glomerated gathering in Washington, D. G.
1t was an imposing thing, and also curious.
It was imposing for the reason that the
princes, powers and potentates were all there
in their finest regala- dressed just as much
in contrast to St. Peter and St. Paul and all
the other Saints as it was possible for Christ
ian tailors, haberdashers and man-milliners
to fix the togs.
And the assemblage was curious, for the
reason that one of the main speakers of the
occasion was Taft-President William How

overpowered US in that five-to-one scrap,
