STORM IN TOPEKA.
Hail Did Considerable Damage and
Streets Are Flooded.

All the greenhouses in and around
Topeka were damaged by the shower
of heavy hail stones at o'clock last
evening. ]. M. Kessler, proprietor of
the green house at Twenty-ffth and
Kansas avenue, was the heaviest loser.
His glass covered buildings were dam
aged to the extent of about 81 000 and
the destruction of plants will probobly
double that amount. ye.ss
The heaviest flight Of hail lasted only
a few minutes, but the Jumps of ice
were about the size of birds eggs. At
the time the wind had Slackened its
speed, and the hail came down in a
straight flight. Had this storm been
accompanied by wind, nearly every
house in town would have lost its
south and west windows. The rain
came in gusts; the streets were flooded
one moment, and the sun was shining
the next.
nature of a tornado, but straight
push The afternoon rains and hail
netted .98 one-hundreths of an inch OF
water, and the rapid changes in the
were due to the surrounding wind
storms.
The general low pressure all over the
west, gave the local weather depart
ment warning of the approaching tor
nadoes as the low barometrical condi-
the '+twisters.'
The highest wind velocity in Topeka
was 81 miles per hour, but that velocity
was held for only one minute That
was when the Brunt drug store win
dows were blown out For the next
minutes it blew at the rate Of 46 miles
an hour, but the average for the az
ternoon was about 40 miles. Toward
night the temperature began to run
the sliding scale, dropping from 73 at
O'Clock to 63 at o'clock, and then
rising suddenly to the rs degree mark:
The lowest temperature of the past "a
hours was Al at o'clock this morn
ing. but the forecast is a threat OF
freezing weather tonight. In the west
ern part of the state at noon today
temperature of 26 was reported, and
the cold wave is coming this way.
The rainfall was general over the
eastern half of the state Wednesday
afternoon and last night, but the cen
trail western part Of Kansas, where
rain is really needed, remains dry and
dusty.
Observer Jennings, of the local wealth
er bureau, says that the destruction
by tornado throughout the state was
not the work of one twister, but pro-
badly half a dozen or more, arising at
the same time by reason of the same
atmospheric conditions.

Canadian Reciprocity Bill Re-
ported FavOrably.
No Opposition to the Measure in
Committee.
FREE LIST BILL ALSO.
Favorable Report on This Will
Be Made Tomorrow.
Senatorial Election Bill Appears
to Have Clear Sailing.

Washington, April 13.-The Cana
dian reciprocity bill introduced in
the house yesterday was reported ia
vorably to the house today by the new
ways and means committee.
The committee also passed favor
ably on the free list tariff measure,
but will not report it until tomorrow.
The Canadian reciprocity bill was
taken up first by the committee and
after brief discussion Representa-
tive Mccall, it's sponsor in the 61st
congress moved 1t be approved. This
was done without division. The free
list bill, however, was not unanimous
ly approved, the vote on it in the
vote, the Democrats favoring it and
the Republicans voting solidly against
it. Republican members with Serene
Payne as spokesman declared that the
proposed bill was haSty and ill-advis-
ed, that the measure had not been re-
ferred to the tariff board and that
Chairman Underwood and his Demo-
cratic colleagues on the committee
had not sufficient data to show what
effect the changes would have.
When the house met Chairman Un-
derwood submitted the report of the
committee. The reciprocity bill will
be called up tomorrow for discussion.
Opposition to the reciprocity bill from
some of the same Republicans who op-
posed it in the last session developed
shortly. Representative Dalzell of

HELD UP A TRAIN.
RObber at Syracuse Halted in
Plan Of Robbery.
Shoots Conductor Reilley and
Escapes in Darkness.

Early this morning about 1 o'clock
when train No. of the Santa Fe was
pulling out of Syracuse, Kansas, an
unknown man with a mask over his
face swung aboard the smoker at the
head of the train. When the train
was under full speed he entered the
car where he met the conductor, Ed
B. Reilley, and Brakeman O'Leary.
Hold up your handsl" he shouted.
They threw UP their hands at once.
From the conductors pocket he took
five dollars and from the brakeman
only one dollar. When he had finish
ed this process Conductor Reilley
showed signs of resistance and turning
his six-shoter on him the rebber left
two bullets in the trainman's shoulder.
Then backing through the smoker,
which was emptied as soon as the
train robber entered the vestibule, the
unknown man pulled the bell cord,
waited until the train slowed down
and leaped into the darkness-and was
lost.
The engineer was informed and as
fast as No. could be rushed to La
Junta the injured conductor was taken
to the hospital. Last reports to the
Santa Fe general officials in Topeka
are that he will recover.
When the news of the robbery was
heard in Syracuse q posse was organ
lied and a chase was begun. Every
town in the country was informed and
western Kansas is chasing an un-
known man with rubber tires today,

The Election of Senators.
Representative Rucker of Missouri,
of president, vice president and repre-
sentativeS in congress, was prepared
when the house of representatives met
today to call up the bill providing for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people.
1t was the purpose of the Demo-
cratic leaders to push this bill for i'm
mediate passage pending further ac-
tion on the Canadian reciprocity bill
introduced yesterday by Representa-
and means committee. Chairman
Fuckers committee voted yesterday
to report the popular elections bill
favora bly, as it did & bill providing for
ante-election publicity of campaign
Passage of the former bill in time to-
day would mean that the latter meas
ure also would be put on it's passage
The house leaders did not anticipate
much opposition to these party meas
ures and no attempt was looked for from
any Democrat to impede the rapid fire
program outlined by the ways and
means committee. This committee has
approved both bills and is desirous
that they be out of the way of the reci-
procity bill which will be called up to-
morrow.
When the senate resumed business to-
day after a two days recess there was
little before it. Senator Rayner was
expected to address the upper house on
the Mexican situation. After a brief
session adjournment was looked for uu-
til Monday.
With the announcement from Repre-
sentative Underwood that the Demo
Gratis were determined before adjourn
ment today to pass a resolution for the
election of senator by direct vote OF
the people, the house plunged into de-
bate on the proposed constitutional
amendment. Minority Leader Mann
asked that the whole subject go over
for a day so that members could exam
inc the language on the proposed
amendment to the constitution. The pro-
posal met with no favor on the Dem
ocrat side. There has been a great

STRANGE MAN IN ROOM.
Unknown Man Frightened When Girls
Call Parents.

Junction City, Kan, April 13.-The lit
tie daughters of William Day were
awakened by an intruder in their room.
The man, after cautioning them to re-
main quiet, got into bed with them, and
talked until one of the girls called to
her parents. He then took fright and
made his escape and the girl went to
the man.
A night lamp had been burning in
the room, but the intruder blew this
out when he entered. 1t was quite light
at that hour, however. and the girl was
able to distinguish the man clearly.
Later in the morning Mr.. Day 90
served a man of this description loiter
ing before the house, and he summon
ed Sheriff Harbes, who later took the
man in charge. He is now being held
on suspicion, and it is said has been
partially identified by the girl.
