'PFDDLER LAW KNOCKED OUT
Judge Snow Decides Law Is Unconsti.
t%utiOnal in Test Case Brought
at WinOnS.

Winona, Mimi, May 29.-The first
round in the case brought to test the
constitutionality Of the state peddlers'
license law, which vas passed by the
last legislature and which became ef-
fective April 10 last, closed yester-
day, when Judge Arthur H. Snow Of
the district court handed down a de-
cisiOn In the case of the state VS.. F.
r. Muhdeking, holding that the law is
unconstitutional. He cites three rea-
sons for his findings in favor Of the
peddlers.
First the court finds the law NEON
stitutional because it exempts from
license all who sell that which they
themselves produce or grow; second,
he says the law is invalid because it
exempts permanent merchants who
solicit orders for the sale Of their
goods in their home county and ad-
Joining ones, while, according to it's
provisions, those who offer for sale
goods for future or present delivery
are required to secure a license;
thirdly, Judge Snow declares that the
exemption from license of peddlers
in st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth is
class legislation, and therefore the act
is unconstitutional and invalid.

TORNADO IN TEXAS
FATAL TO SCORES
Thirty-twO Killed and Fifty Per-
haps Fatally Injured in VIII
lage of Zephyr.
FIRE FOLLOWS The STORM
Nearly Fifty Houses Entirely Demolished
Many of the Bodies Are HOr.
ribly Mutilated.

~BrOwnwood. Tex, June l. - A tor
nado struck the little village of
Zephyr, in the eastern portion Of
Brown county, at l o'clock yesterday
morning, killing t~hirty-two persons
and seriously and perhaps fatally in
juring fifty others. Twenty others
are more or less injured.
The storm formed half a mile
southwest Of Zephyr and swept down
upon the village, cutting a wide swath
through the residence and business
district.
Nearly fifty houses were entirely
demolished. Lightning struck a lum-
Der yard and started a confagration
block. No effort was made to fight
the fire, as the care of the dead and
wounded demanded all attention.
Many Bodies MutiIated.
A section hand rode a handcar to
Brentwood and spread the alarm. In
two hours the Santa Fe railroad was
speeding a special train to the scene
OF the storm with nine surgeons and
a score Of Brentwood citizens. Hun
dreds of persons directly in the
storms path saved themselves by
taking refuge in storm cellars. More
than a dozen bodies were horribly
mutilated. Two children were found
dead late yesterday afternoon two
miles from the town, having been
blown that distance.
The storm was 300 yards wide and
swept the earth for less than a mile,
Its fury is considered the most ter
rife Of any tornado ever experienced
in this section.
Find DesoIate Scene.
J. l.. Clingman, E. E. Kirkpatrick
and nine surgeons, who formed the
first party out of Brentwood, found
a desolate scene awaiting them. The
hillsides at Zephyr were covered with
debris of all kinds and bodies of dead
animals and human beings. The ruins
were dimly lighted by burning build
ings. A hog was killed while at
tempting to eat the body of an in
FAINT.
Bodies were found twisted about
trees and in every conceivable shape.
People walked the streets almost
naked, crying for their relations.
Residences which escaped the storm
were turned into hospitals. Brown
wood, with splendidly organized re-
lief work, has the situation we'll in
hand.
Oklahoma Is Hit.

SENATOR BAILEY
GETS INTO FIGHT
Exchanges Blows With Corre-
spondent Over Article in New
York Newspaper.
OAPP COMES TO The RESCUE
Senator Angry Over Charge That He
Played Into Aldrich's Hands
on Income Tax.

Washington, May Ex-senator Bal
ley Of Texas and w. S. Manning, rep
resentative OF the New York Times in
the press gallery, exchanged blows
just a the senate adjourned yester-
day as a result Of a conversation they
had In reference to an article printed
by the New York newspaper question
ing the sincerity OF the senator in his
course or the income tax.
Neither Of the participants was in
jured, as they were separated by Sen
ator Clapp, Porto Rican Commission
er Larrinaga, a number of senate en-
ployes and several newspaper CORE
spondents.
Differ as to Score.
The versions of Mr.. Bailey and Mr..
Manning are in substantial agreement
as to the cause of the trouble and diff
fer only as to the number of blows
struck by each.
A bitter attack Upon the author Of
an article in the New York Times,
charging that Senator Bailey had
played into the hands Of Senator Aid
rich by his course in demanding an
immediate vote on the income tax
amendment, and had thus caused a
split of the forces supporting such an
amendment, was made by Senator
Bailey or the floor of the senate yes
terday. Mr.. Manning accosted Mr..
Bailey after the adjournment Of the
session to inform him hat he was in
accurate in suggesting Republican
senators as a possible source of In
~spiration for the article.
"Liar," Says Bailey.
According to both Mr.. Manning and
Senator Bailey, the former disclaimed
authorship of the story, and at the
same time stated that the inspiration
for it had been Mr.. Bailey's demands
for immediate vote and his 'hazing"
Of Republican senators who favored
the income tax proposition, but who
did not support him in his demands
for q vote at the present time.
Mr.. Bailey asked who did write the
article and at the same time declared,
1t Is said, that the man who had writ
ten IL was u lldT. ACCOTuI0S 10 DOIn
men, the senator's language was en-
phatic, and Mr.. Manning responded
that he had not had the honor to
write the story"
Mr.. Bailey says that the word hon
or" was emphasized In a manner In
tended to be offensive.
Speech Is Hot One.
The speech by Mr.. Bailey in regard
to the newspaper article was one of
the most scathing arraignment Of a
newspaper correspondent that has
ever taken place in the senate. The
senator not only asserted that the
writer Of the article was IAN infa-
nous liar" but that he was a misera-
BILE creature, unfit to associate with
honest men," In this vein he talked
for considerable time. Mr.. Manning
also is a Southerner, being a native of
South Carolina.
