ALSO ABANDONS INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM AS FEDERAL
 PROPOSITIONS.
REVISION OF TARIFF SURE
Roth Taft and Roosevelt Agree on This Cuestion-President Will lndorse Central Financial
 Organization.

Chicago, June 1S.-The initiative, referendum and the recall, as federal propositions demanding specific plat form delineation, have been turned down by Col. Roosevelt. In the tenta- tive draft of the platform which has been prepared by the Roosevelt forces these problems, held to be vital by the progressives in many of the west ern states, only have been mentioned. In a general way they are indorsed, but the indorsement is ss weak that the a-pfogressive leaders are pre- paring to start a general fight for a bold, uncompromising platform state ment on these principles.
 The plank, as submitted to ths com mittee, and which is believed to have the indorsement of Roosevelt, leaves the question for settlement with in diyidual localities. The direct cleo ton of United States senators and the presidential preference primaries are held to be absolutely necessary for the welfare of the people.
 The Roosevelt platform pledges the necessary legislation to carry this out. The question of direct Legislation, however, Is held to be one for the states. It is declared that they must solve this problem as best suits the community affected.
 The platform will specifically de clare that the Roosevelt party will at tempt no dictation as to methods, neither will it make an effort to force one community to adopt methods sat isfactory to another community. The people, the plank will declare, must possess efficient methods to make

Best of All Physicians.

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there Is no comfort to compare with good will for dispersing the shad- ows of grief and sorrow. To live con- tinually in thoughts of ill-will, cyni- cism, suspicion and envy, is to be con- fined in a self-made prison hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all-such unselflsh thoughts are the very portals of heaven; and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to the possessor.- James Allen.

Doesn't Know How Waters Pierce Proxies Were Obtained, He
 Says at Hearing.

New York, June 1S.-Robert w. Stewart of Chicago, a director in the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, tes- tifed that he knew none of the details of how the proxies were obtained by which it vas attempted in St. Louis last February, at the annual meeting of the Waters Pierce Oil company, to elect Stewart and two other Standard Oil men to the Waters Pierce direc- torate. Stewart was the first witness when Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the taking of testimony in the Stand ard Oil companys mandamus suit against the officials of the Waters Pierce concern.

UNSYMPATHETlC ATTORNEY.

Mike Kelly had been habitue of the court house for fifteen years and at every criminal trial had occupied front seat, listening with evident admiration to the speeches of the prosecuting attorney.

Tariff Revision Is Assured.

The tariff will be revised downward if the Republican party is returned to power, no matter whether Taft or Roosevelt controls the national con vention. This was reiterated when it was found that the leaders of each faction have determined that they must declare to the people that the tariff again is the dominant issue.
 At a series of conferences between the steering committees of both the Roosevelt and Taft ends of the party rough drafts of the proclamation of principles have been completed. From now until the committee on resolu- tions is completed and goes to work these leaders will be busy. They hope to have their documents in such shape that the committee will not have to bother with these details.
 Both of the factions will declare for a scientific downward revision of the tariff. Each will take the position that while American labor must be protected, the fact that trust-made goods are sold abroad profitably at less than half the price charged in the United States shows that the present rates are too high. But in one respect the two blanks will differ. The Taft platform will insist that the present tariff board is meeting the situation squarely and that it's recommends. tions are the ones to be followed. The Roosevelt platform will insist that the present board be strengthened. There will be no mention of reciprocity, ac cording to present plans.

 From Cities.

Kansas City, Mo, June 1S.-Though wire communication still is interrupt ed, additional details drifting in show that 29 persons were killed and per |haps scores injured by the storm that swept central west Missouri.
 The storm struck Kansas City late Saturday, causing the death of two persons and doing many thousands of dollars worth of damage, and then swept to the south through Bates county. The path of the storm was half mile wide and five miles long. Between Merwin and Adrian 19 per- sons were killed. At Creighton, Cass county, two are known to be dead, while at LeetOn, in Johnson county, two are dead, and unverifed reports say others have been killed. In Bates county the property loss is estimated at S75.000.
 After striking Merwin, the storm took a northwestward course, passing Sedalia, where the wind did much damage.
 List of the Dead. The dead:
 Between Merwin and Adrian: Hen- ry Cameron and three children, Maude, Chester and infant son; Gib- son Groves, Fred Groves, Lucille Cox, w. H. Todd, Mrs. Frank Corey, E. M. Bice, E. s. Howe, Mrs Joseph John- son, Mrs. Albert Corey and baby, Mrs. Oscar Alexander and three children, Mrs. George Reed, an unidentified Greek.

 At Creighton, Mo-: Mrs. Lee Park CT, Gerald Stevens, Vena Stevens.
 At Leeton, Mo-: Don Carlos and wife.
 At Kansas City, Mo: Hern Gray, Max Spitekofsky.
 In the country between Merwin and Adrian the storm came up swiftly and swept clean it's path through the northern section of the county. With Cameron and three of his children, the wind picked up another child and carried it away. The baby was found mile from home, uninjured. The bodies of Gibson and Fred Groves were found more than a mile from their home. where they were when. the storm struck. In another place the storm, in passing over a farm, killed 50 head of live stock, but did not do other damage.
 Throughout the stricken district communication is carried on by mes sengers.
 Relief trains have been sent from Windsor, Warrensburg and Sedalia and from Sedalia many undertakers were sent to the scene. Many of the dead in Bates county were prosperous farmers. Mrs. Albert Corey, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Frank Corey, had arrived from Kan sas City an hour before she was killed, to visit her relatives.
