HALSTONES BREAK
WOMAN'S ARM
PAXTON PARSON HAD FINGERS
FRACTURED BY THEM.
PEOPLE CRAWLED UNDER BED
Some of Them Were Three Inches in
Diameter-Were All Sorts of
Shapes-Penetrated Roof and
Drove Family Under Bed.

Hopkinsville, Ky.-Heavy loss was
caused by a hail and wind storm which
passed over the northern section of this
county. The Warrington neighborhood
suffered the brunt of the damage.
~Storehouses and dwellings at Manning.
ton were penetrated by the enormous
hailstones that fell there, measuring as
high as three inches in diameter and
nine inches long, and being all sorts of
shapes. In the home of John Long the
family crawled under the beds to escape
hailstones that came through the roof
and ceiling. Gigantic hailstones struck
Genie Childress on the right arm, break
ing the bone. Payton Parson had some
of his fingers fractured in the same
inner A number of calves and hogs
were killed by being struck on the head.
Crops and gardens were almost ruined.
A terrific wind accompanied the hail and
wrought much damage by u~nrooing
houses, blowing fences away and de-
stroying timber. Lightning added to the
loss by striking many trees.
The storms path was about half Q
mile wide and possibly five miles long,
but the center of its destructive power
was at Warrington and immediate
vicinity,

ROCKEFELLER ON !
WITNESS STAND
RICHEST MAN" PROVES Diff
CULT TO EXAMINE.
WAS EMPHATIC AT TIMES
He Evaded Cleverly Untermeyer's
Questions Except on Certain
Points, and Answered These
Vigorously.

New York.-John ID. Rockefeller, re-
tired head of the dissolved Standard
Oil Company, was placed on the witness
stand here to tell whether he believed
the company had been really dissolved
under the decree of the United States
Supreme Court.
The aged millionaire could not be in
duced at all times to give direct an
swers to questions, but made indig-
nant denial of all suggestions that there
had been any effort to evade the decree
of the court.
"The richest man in the world" was
subjected to u grilling by Samuel I'm
termeyer, counsel for the Waters-Pierce
interests, that caused the witness to
pound his fists on the table to en-
phasize his indignant denials of pointed
questions as to whether the decree of
the court had been in fact carried out.
Ibid you ever have a discussion with
John d. Archibald as to how the sub
salaries should be cut loose and still
held tightf" queried the Waters-Pierce
attorney. "
"There was never ay thought Of cut
ting loose and holding tight" Mr.. Rookie
Teller almost shouted. Il happen to
know about that"
Mr.. Untermeyer had the utmost diff
ficulty throughout the examination to
get him to answer questions by Eyes"
or "no." Mr.. Rockefeller persisted in
his WI answers in his W way,
nor could he be induced to change his
tactics even after Commissioner Walter
S. Jacobs had instructed him to give a
direct answer. Finding the effort hope
less, the examining attorney remarked
that if the witness were "asked if the
sun was shining outside, Mr.. Rockefeller
would not give a direct answer. He
would say instead that the moon was
about to rise"

SEEK S3O,OOO,OOO
TO REBUILD LEVEES
HUMPHREYS BILL PROVIDES FOR
REvETMENT WORK.
CONTINUE WORK THREE YEARS
II Plan Carried Out, Levee Will Be
Strong .Enough-Plan Concerted
C~ampaign-Measure Referred
to Rivers and Harbors
Committee.

Washington. - Representative Hum
phreys of Mississippi introduced in the
house a bill appropriating 10000 900
for each of the years 1913, 1914 and 1918
for the repair and building OF lsyees on
the Mississippi river and its tributaries
The bill provides that Sl0,000,000 shall
be carried in the next rivers and har-
bors bills and that the secretary of war
be authorized to contract for the con-
tinuance Of the work during the two sue
ceeding years at the same rate. Seven
million is set apart for levee construc-
ton and three million for rcvetment
work for each of the years provided for.
Heretofore about 100000, 900 have been
raised by the various local levee boards
along the lower river and put into the
leyees and during that time the federal
government has spent about $25, 000,0 600
for the same purpose. The chief of en-
gineers has estimated that thirty-two
or three million dollars more will be re-
quired to complete the whole levee sys-
tenn on both banks of the river from
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, to the gulf, and
it is the hope of Mr.. Humphreys to in
duce congress to provide two-thirds Of
this amount instead of requiring the
local boards to raise the two-thirds az
heretofore.
"If this bill isSaccepted by congress-

CELEBRATE GETTYSBURG
John Sharp Williams Makes Stirring
Speech-Honors Blue and GRAY.

Washington.-The feature of the
meeting of Union and Confederate dele
gates from all the states to formulate a
programme of the fiftieth anniversary
OF the battle of Gettysburg was an i'm
promptu address by Senator John Sharp
Williams. Senator Williams was i'm
pressive in his reference to the m
able charge of Pickett's Virginia, North
Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and
Mississippi gallant troops. Southern
chiva y and courage, he said, were
visited upon a Gibraltar as tempestuous
as ever stirred the Mediterranean.
In the national military parks he
wanted to see true Confederate history
of that memorable conflict taught in
monuments to Southern heroism. South
ern soldiers were just as true as Ameri-
can soldiers. Both sides, he said, were
~actuated by patriotic intent, pure pur-
pose and heroic devotion to a con-
ceived duty. The women and children
on both sides were as brave and as true
as the men in arms.
