Immense Damage Is Done in
the Southwest
STATES ARE COVERED
Storms Sweep Over Portions of Mis-.
souri, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Arkansas.

Kansas City, April 14.-Tornadoes
which swept parts of Missouri, Oklaho.
ma, Kansas and Arkansas are known
to have killed twenty-five persons, in
jured more than 100, made more than
500 homeless, and to have done thou
sands of dollars worth of damage to
property.
According to dispatches there were
several storms. The first tornado was
reported at Eskridge, Kan, twenty-five
miles south of Topeka. Here many
houses were destroyed and much dam
age done to crops.
The storm which swept Eskridge
struck Powhatan and Netawaka, Kan,
nearby towns, then swept off to the
northwest, striking Whiting, Kan.
north of Topeka, where sixty houses
were demolished. Continuing to the
northwest Hiawatha and Manville,
Kan, were struck, and here three per
sons were killed and much property
damage done.
Later a tornado struck Lawrence,
Kan, killing two persons, injurin2
twelve, and doing damage estimated at
S175,000. This storm swept the town
from the southwest to the northeast
and after passing over the Kansas
river continued toward Leavenworth.
Tornado Hits Oklahoma.
An hour after the first tornado
struck Eskridge a tornado swept
through Oklahoma, parts Of Arkansas
and Southwest Missouri. Big Heart,
Okla, having a population of about
1000 persons, was the first town struck.
Here the storm came suddenly, tear
ing down houses above the heads of
the people. Many rushed into the
streets, only to be knocked down by
flying debris and others to their death.
1t was an hour after the storm before
the first word of it reached Pawhuska.
Immediately.
At Big Heart 400 persons are home
less and the work of rescuing the dead
and injured from the wreckage was
carried on by the light Of lanterns.
Striking Meeker, Checotah and an
Indian village near Big Heart this
storm swept northwest, passing over
Joplin, Mo-, and other sections of the
mining district. Throughout the en-
tire territory covered by the tornadoes
great damage was done to crops and
it is propable that the total loss
caused will not be known for several
days.

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
APPEARS IN HIS own BEHALF
Accused Jurist Defends Course and
Biames Politics for the
Prosecution.

Judge John Cowan had the oppor.
tunity of defending himself in the sen,
ate impeachment court, against the
charges of drunkenness, corrupt con.
duct, malfeasance and nonfeasance in
office. This opportunity came when
he made the opening statement of the
theory upon which the defense will be
based.
1t was not a case of an ordinary ma
ture, he said, but one in which momen-
tous consequences must be suffered in
the event of conviction. cit is strict
ly and purely criminal in every sense"
he said, 'and is so recognized by all
authorities on the question. Impeach-
ment is an act not far removed from
the days of barbarism, and this is the
first and last case North Dakota will
ever have"
He predicted that when the history
of this action is written the people of
the state will demand a change in the
constitution and eliminate such pro-
cedure. "Ninety-nine out of a hun
dred impeachments are due to political
movements" he said, "and such is the
cas here. I was not impeached by a
cool and deliberative body, as a grand
jury should be-" The house of repre-
sentatives, he said, was carried from
its feet by carefully manufactured in
dignation meetings at four points,
brought on by p~reconceived motives.
His faith in the senate, he declared,
was full and complete. Public senti-
ment, which he said was even now be-
ing worked up in an effort to convict,
would not be allowed to stand in the
way of justice being done.
On the question of why he should
fight the case, SO often asked of him,
Cowan declared that it was a fight for
his honor, for his wife, his two boys
and his two girls. For their sake he
would fight to the last ditch.

MRS. TAFT'S NAME MISSING
Homesteader Feared His Patent to
Land Was Void,

A homesteader in North Dakota,
who recently received a patent to his
entry, fears that his title to the land
may be affected because the patent
was not signed by the wife of the pres
ident. In a letter to Commissioner
bennett of the general land office the
homesteader says:
Il don't know whether it is the law
of the United States or not, but in
North Dakota a deed transferring
property must be signed by the wife
as we'll as the husband. My patent is
signed by President Taft and there
fore l send it to you for his wife's
SIGNATURE"
Commissioner bennett wrote to the
homesteader that he need not worry
about his title as Mr.. Taft's name to
the patent is all that the law REQUIRES.
