Dotterer, aged A years, were leaving the building they touched the metal and were instantly killed. John Wagner, aged 40 years, was killed trying to rescue the men.

 The Colonial express on the Pennsyl- vania railroad, which left Washington for Boston at 5:36 D. m., had a narrow escape from being wrecked a few miles north of Baltimore Near Magnolia, Md, where the storm had been especially severe, the train was running fifty miles an hour, when the engineer saw a tree lying across the track. He applied the airbrake but could not avoid crashing into the ob- struction. A section of the fallen tree was wedged so firmly between the pilot and cylinder head of the engine that the crew had to use axes to remove it.
 Telegraph wires and poles were blown down for miles around.

Lightning Played Many Freaks. Heaviest Loss of Life Comes From Sea Coast Towns Where
 Boats Are Capsized

Newport News, June 12.-Sweeping out of the southwest with syclonic velocity. a wind rain, hail and electrical storm struck the lower end of the Virginia peninsula late this afternoon and left g. trail of death and ruin in it's wake. At this hour 1t Is impossible to even estimate the number of dead for many small crafts. with their human freight, went down in the storm at various points along the James river and In Hampton Roads. Conservative esti- mates tonight place the dead at not more than 15 None of the bodies has been recovered and nothingh is known here of the identity of the missing people, as most of them were fisher men from distant counties along the James.
 Great havoc was wrought in this city. Houses were unroofed and trees, wires and telegraph poles were blown down. Half a dozen vessels moored at piers here broke away and nearly all were damaged. At the shipyard the submarine Seal was struck by schoon- CT and badly disabled, and the same ScHooHer fdiiHled d Ioie III lHe Olu Oo- minion liner Jamestown. Roofs of shops at the Newport News shipbuilding yard also were torn away, scaffolding around ships in course of construction on the stocks were demolished. Part of the metal covering on the side of the Ches- apeake and Ohio elevator were also blown away.
 Rough estimates place the property loss and damage from the storrl at up- wards of $100.000.
 So many live wires fell in the city that it w-:~ necessary to cut off all eiect-lc current and the entire penin- sula, including Newport News, Hamp- ton and Phoebus are in total dark ness tonight.

 The potato crop was almost ruined for want of rain and today's downpour is believed to have saved 1t.
 Baltimore, June PA terrific electrical storm with wind, hail and rain broke over Baltimore at o'clock tonight, put ting practically all telegraph and long distance telephone wires to the north out of commission and doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to property in the suburbs. This storm was of short duration but after a brief interval an- other heavy rain storm set in which lasted for several hours.
 So far no loss of life has been reported. New York, June 12-Electric storms such as have ragged intermittently over New York and vicinity during the last forty-eight hours with great damage | from lightning and wind and flood, were reported to the immediate west and north of here tonight. terrific storm struck Baltimore at 6:30 o'clock and half an hour later both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies re- ported the loss of all wires between Philadelphia and Baltimore. The ex- change of news between eastern and western points had to be made by round- about routes and then was carried on only with greatest difficulty.

A colored brother was charged
With violating the prohibition laws,
and one of the issues In the case was
whether or not certain prohibited
beverages were kept In an ice box tn
the defendants place of business. Jim
Jones. another colored brother was
introduced as a witness for the de-
PENDANT. and swore positively that no
prohibited beverages were kept In the
box that day; that he was In the
place all the morning. On cross ex-
animation. the city attorney asked II
the ice box was open when he entered
the place, or was opened In his pres
ence. Jim promptly replied in the
negative. He was then asked IL
he had been inside the box at any
time that particular day. and replied
that he had not. The city attorney
then asked the all-important question
Of how he knew there were no pro
hibited liquors In the box at thG>
time" After considerable delibers-

NEW REGISTRATION

TON METHODS NECESSARY
UNDER THE 1911 LAW.
MANY ALIENS TO BE BARRED
Men Not Fully Qualified to Exercise
Voting Franchise Are Under Ban
of Statute-Ele ctors Must Appear
Personally for Registration.

Madison. With the knowledge
that in Wisconsin there are thousands
of names illegally registered on yot-
ing lists, the legislature at its ses-
sion just closed has made sweeping
change In registry methods. In April,
1913, in all cities of the second,
third and fourth classes, and villages
and towns in which registry is re-
quired, there must be new registry
of electors. No old polling lists will
be used in whole or in part, and no
persons name will be placed upon
the list unless the elector appears
personally before the inspectors and
requests that his name be registered.
The new statute will bar large
number of aliens who have been
voting illegally. Lax requirements
have permitted the registry of thou
sands Of men of foreign parentage,
who have not been fully naturalized
and who have in many cases taken
only their first papers.
1t is provided in the law that any
person whose name is not on the
registry, but who is a qualified voter
therein, shall nevertheless be emit
tied to vote at the April election,
1913, upon the making of an afli-
dayit in the usual form, one require
ment in which is the declaration Of
citizenship.

RULING is AGAINST G0MPERS
Decision Of Justice Wright of the Su-

Labor Leader.

Washington. July 1S.-Justice
Wright of the Supreme court Of the
District of Columbia overruled the mo-
ton Of President Samuel Gompers,
Vice-Presdent John Mitchell and See
rotary Morrison of the American Fed
ration of Labor that the latest con-
tempt order be dismissed on the
ground that the report of the commit
tee of lawyers submitted in the case
was not legal. IN ruling Justice
Wright added that had the committee
reported that there were no reasonable
grounds for contempt charges such a
report would not have been received.
Gompers' attorneys protested that
they should not be compelled to pro-
coed, in view of this expression by the
court, but their protest was dismissed.
The hearing was adjourned until
Monday without action.

GRAIN CROP TO BE SMALlER
Drouth Respons for Decrease in
Yield, Says Prot Moore-Corn,
Hay and Rye Outlook Good

Madison A lessencd yield in the
grain crop in Wisconsin will mark
the present season, according to Prof.
r. A. Moore of the agricultural college
OF the University of Wisconsin, who
has returned from trip of inspection
throughout the state. Prof. Moore 8
report has many cheering features
however, one of which Is that the
wheat crop will be better than eX-
pected. The southwestern part of
the state has been hard hit by
drought and small grains noticeably
will suffer.
1.-THE hay crop on the whole will
be fine" said Prof. Moore. 1T is
especially SO in northern Wisconsin.
The rye crop is good In fact, it
never looked finer. The pea crop
has suffered somewhat from blight,
taking the form of disease in the
ground In northern Wisconsin this
crop is looking excellent. Toward
the south it is not so good. The
corn crop never looked better and
promises to be the best in many
years.
Il was also impressed with the
great development in northern Wis
consin, where the country Is being
opened up to settlement and agri-
culture very rapidly, States further
west, such as Missouri, are suffering
with the drought and ! believe that
the frequent recurrence of this fact
is going to drive a great many peo-
pie from those states to states like
Wisconsin and Minnesota where

quantity and crop conditions more
