REPORTS ARE STILL MEAGER
Many Towns whtch Suffered Heavy
Damage Cut on and Later Re-
ports May Increase the
Death List.

ATLANTA. Ca, Feb. 6-The storm which
passed over Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia yesterday in numerous sections
reached the proportions OF a tornado. Re-
ports received up to today tell OF the
deaths Of more than a dozen persons. the
fatal ~injuring of almost as many more
and serious injury to many others In the
states named and It is believed that re-
ports from the devastated district today
will greatly increase the number of fatal

crippled, this condition extending into South
Carolina, and It will mean several days be-
fore communicable with some OF the towns

effects of the high winds will be restored.
The storm center Travelled east from North
Texas and appears to have wrought the
greatest havoc In northern Alabama, al
though high winds prevailed throughout the
length and breadth of that state, reaching
a velocity Of forty-siK miles per hour as far
south as Mobile, where a torrential rain

Sentiment 10 increasing in favor of a
smaller and continuous tax" said Senator
Miller, a member of the subcommittee to-
day. The bank guaranty is merely follow
ing out the principle of insurance, and in
so doing one must provide for the San
Franchises and the Baitimores, which, while

come must be met. 1t is wonderful how
large a sum Of money a small tax win raise

the deposits the first year. but now the
sentiment is growing more and more In ths
direction of making the amount small. blu

money shall be on hand when II is needed

The unlimited guaranty fund 1t is de-
