HAVOC PLAYED
BY WIND STORM
MUCH DAMAGE is REPORTED
THROUGHOUT THE GEN.
TRIAL STATES.

Louisville, KY, March 21.-Storms
which swept down from the North
west early today played havoc with
wire and rail traffic in the central
states. Trains were delayed and COM
munication by telegraph and telephone
was cut off in many sections. Tor
rental rains, accompanied by thun-
der nd lightning, were noted through
out the Ohio valley during the morn
ing hours, and swollen streams today
bore evidence of the heavy rainfall
which,. was recorded. The Pittsburg
weather bureau at o'clock this morn
ing sent out an Ohio river food warn
ing.
The disturbance noted yesterday
over the West has split into two dis
tinct storm centers, one remaining in
the far Southwest; and the other
passing northeastward into the lower
Mississippi valley, and then into the
Ohio valley, being centered this
morning about Pittsburg. The latter
disturbance has been attended by
heavy rains and thunderstorms in the
Ohio valley and eastward to the coast
while heavy SHOWS have fallen over
the lake region. Heavy SHOWS have
also occurred in the upper MISSISSIPPI
pi and Missouri valleys, and over the
plain states as far south as northern
Texas.
An area of high pressure, with clear
ing md decidedly colder weather, OBJ
tains today over western districts,
freeing temperatures extending
southwark into Texas and eastward
into Indiana, while it is zero or below
in Nebraska and the Dakotas.
Strong winds are noted over much
of the lake region and central val
leys, end in the far Southwest.

FROM GEORGIA

GRESS TO BE HELD IN
NEW ORLEANS.
President Akin and Secretary Andrews
of Georgia Drainage Congress, Held
Conference Here Yesterday to
Make Arrangements for Meeting.

For the purpose of discussing plans

at the National Drainage Congress at
New Orleans in April. President H. r.
Akin of the Georgia Drainage Com
gress, held a conference in Bruins
wick yesterday with c. Fort Andrews,
OF Waycross, secretary of the Geor-
gia drainage Con e5ress. Both Sena-
tor Akin and Secretary Andrews will
attend the New Orleans meeting, with
quite a number of others interested
in he drainage Movement.
1t was decided yesterday to ask as
many OF those VINO are going TO this
meeting as possible to meet at some
convenient point in Georgia just prior
to tAe converting of the New Orleans
convention and go in a body. Presi-
dent Akin, with this in view, is writ
ing to members of the Georgia Drain
age Congress and the delegates re-
Gently named by Governor Joseph M.
Brown, suggesting that the Georgia
delegation go to New Orleans in a
body. He is urging upon the dele
gates the Importance of the New
Orleans convention and hopes to have
this state better represented than
any ether at New Orleans.
While at New Orleans President
Akin will probably extend an invitazs
tion to the National Drainage Com
gress to hold the next meeting at
Brunswick. This invitation would
undoubtedly meet with hearty sup
port from all Georgians and all
Southerners ut the meeting, and il
accepted would attract to this city
some time next year one of the big
gest delegations of men of national
note this state has ever entertained
Arrangements We're made yesterday
to hold a conference in Savannah next
week with First Vice President A. r.
LaWton of the Georgia drainage or
ganization, and discuss the campaign
to De conducted in Georgia this year
by the Georgia organization. Colonel
LaWLon, one of the best-known men
in the state, is actively interested in
the cause of drainage and has prom
ised to aid President Akin inr every
way possible in the work before the
organization. Literature will BE pre-
pared under President Atkins super
vision at an early date and supplied
to all parties interested. He thinks
the Crainage question one of the most
important before the people today,
and Cne of especial interest to the
coast counties of Georgia.

The first ship to go from Brunswick
will carry about 1000 cords of black
gum. The wood will be seculied from
this section. Mr.. Frederick Kauff-
man, chairman of the board of direc-

proposition, is in the city and will
make this his headquarters for some
time to come.
Investigations that have been con-
Quoted for number of years, have
fully demonstrated the value of black
gum for pulp manufacture, and from
the pulp excellent grades of paper
have already been made The lift
ing of the tariff on paper from Can

around the importation of wood for
pulp manufacture has opened I'D a
vast field for the wood supplies Of
the South. The abundant black gum
of this section cannot be excelled for
wood pulp manufacture and the in

Just at this time it is not known
how many ships month will be

STRIKE WILL BE AVERTED

New York, March 21.-It became
known today that the anthracite op-

refused the miners demands for in
creased pay, have reconsidered their
decision to make the answer final and
will convene again to go over the
situation.
Whether this means a compromise
offer will be drafted could not be
learned. Some independent operators
have already signified their intention
of granting a partial increase, how
ever, and the assumption is that some
similar action may develop from the
future meeting.

Eighteen Months Search.

Bunsen, who has been looking for
CsIahan for eighteen months, was
eating in a restaurant when he no
ticed that an index finger of man
opposite him was missing at the first
joint. He then saw the resemblance
between a photo of Callahan and the
man opposite him.
With the aid Of a city detective
Bunsen arrested Callahan and his
companion, who gave the name of
Charles F. Miller. Callahan denied
his identity.
Callahan's name also has been given
to the federal authorities as the
leader of the gang which entered the
warehouse Of Spalding & Co. in Chi
cago in February, 1911, and stole over
$4,000 worth of jewelry. 1t is known
that Callahan was under arrest in
London eight months ago. How he
gained his freedom is not known here.
Rewards for his arrest aggregate
$4,000.
