TAFT COMING HOME.
PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDS FARE.
 WE'LL TO PANAMA.
Mir. Taft and Party Left COIen sunaax AfternOon on Board the Cruiser North CarOlinH for New
 Orleans,

Colon, Feb. 7.-President- -eIect Will Ham II. Taft and party left here at o'clock this evening on board the cruiser North Carolina for New Or leans, accompanied by the cruiser Mon- tana. Just previous to embarking Mfr. Taft gave out the following:
 "I am not prepared now to make a statement as to the results of the trip to the Isthmus, except to say that we have found he work progressing in a most satisfactory way; the organiza- tion better than eyer before; the es- prit do corps excellent, and the deter imitation of all, even the humblest la- borer. directed to the building of the canal. I am sure this has impressed itself upon every one of the board of visiting engineers. as 1t has upon me.
 with reference to the type of the canal, and the continuance of the present plans. the engineers promise that they will be able to hand me their report by the time we' land at New Or leans"
 Governor Mendelez and a large gath ering were present at the docks to bid the President-elect farewell. As the tug which transferred the visitors to the cruiser moved away. Mir Taft bow ed and called out laughingly, Keep your eye on that subterranean lake at Gatun.'
 During his ten days here. Mfr. Taft. accompanied on many occasions by the isthmus with him, visited every sec. tlon of the canal. This influence was exerted also in bringing about a bet ter feeling between various factions that have been opposing each other since the last election.

UNIQUE PROCEDURE
STANDARD OILS APPEAL FO.s MOD-
 IFICATION OF JUDGMENT.
Attorney General Major Gives Out . Statement in Whaeh He Denies O
 PartneFship OfHer tO State ---- -.----. nEanaahn.Rl


 Jefferson City. Mo, Feb. 7.--Attorney General Major, in a statement issued tonight, relative to the motion for mod ifcation of judgment of custer filed by the Standard tOil Company, said he does not deem 1t necessary to file any additional replies with the Supreme Court to the suggestions of the stand ard Oil attorneys The motion or the oil attorneys, he said, simply asks for clemency in the mobilization of the de- cree.
 The statement in part says;
 "The proposed modification is not an offer to do business In partnership w1Ih the State. but that the Judgment of custer be modified. and the matter held in abeyance and in the meantime per- nit the company to do business under the eye of the court of the State If the court desired, it could under the modification, proceed at any time, to render a judgment of final custer.
 Under the modification as proposed. the State could control the price of the products and prevent the company from recouping its losses in fines from the people.
 "In, the last analysis. it presents a question of whether or not the welfare of the State, its business and it's citi- zens would be benefited to an extent warrantfng a court of chancery to un- dertake the supervision. The interest of the Standard oil CompRny itself Is not a matter of consideration. It Is a procedure unique and new because the conditions presented are unique and new. Should the modification be fla vorably considered, then I would. In that event. ask that the fine be greatly lncreasedS
 "It is a question purely in the dis- cretion of the court.

Memphis, Tenn. Especially with
the known death list already reach
ing a total of 81 lives and with 1S
others reported dead, with scores seri-
ously injured and man others pain
fully bruised and SCARED and with
the property damage running to
", 100000 or more, the havoc and
destruction of the storm which swept
Middle and West Tennessee, Alabama.
Georgia and portions of Arkansas
and South Carolina grows hourly as
reports are received from remote
points and as wire communication is
gradually restored to a normal con-
dition.
Apparently the storm broke over
Middle and West Tennessee and pro-
ceeded in southeasterly direction
across the state into Alabama and
Georgia, assuming the proportions
of a West Indian hurricane as it
swept along, leaving desolation and
ruin behind. 1t came practically
without warning, and in some places
1t Is reported that the wind attained
a velocity of 80 miles an hour.
While only one death occurred at
Denmark, Tenn, the horrors of the
storm there were greatly heightened
by the fire which started amid the
ruins and debris of what was once
a f1ourishing little town in Middle
Tennessee. The flames, unquenched
by the heavy downpour of rain and
hail, rapidly consumed what few
dwellings and storehouses were left
standing. Two hundred people were
rendered homeless and have appeal
ed to neighboring towns and cities
for immediate aid.
Reports of five deaths and heavy
damage come from McNairy County,
where is located the famous battle
field of Shiloh, and which was direct
ly in the path of the storm Homes
and stores were leveled to the ground
and great trees in the historic Ma
tional Cemetery were uprooted.
Many handsome and imposing
statues in the National Park were
torn from the pedestals and the prop
erty damage is estimated at $780,
900. 1t is impossible to confirm the
report that 13 lives have been lost
at Stantonville
At Russellville, Ala, it is reported
that 40 inhabitants were seriously
injured.
A property damage of at least
$4,000 is estimated at Gainesville,
Ca. while that at Atlanta will run
between $4,000 and 100000.
Memphis escaped unscathed.
The storm played havoc with
plantation property, the wind tearing
the frail farm buildings to bits.
Numberless trees we're uprooted and
the hail and heavy downpour of rain
leveled vegetation. III
Telephone and telegraph COM
panies suffered materially. long
stretches of wire being torn from
their fastenings.
