HALIFAX. April 37.-A giant iceberg
similar to that which sank the Titanic
threatened disaster to the Canadian Pa

Passengers say that last "Wednesday

in time 10 avoid collision. The ship was
steamng slowly through a dense fog when
the lookout sighted great iceberg ahead
He rang for full speed astcrn and the

There were many passengers on deck.

TWO SCORE KILLED
AVID MANY INJURED
Series of Tornadoes Sweep
Over Texas and Oklahoma;
Enormous Property Loss.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, April %,
-Thirty-one persons are reported to
have been killed by tornado that
swept southwestern Oklahoma and the
southea stern corner of the Texas Pan
handle late today, a dozen towns
we're struck and farming communities
suffered
Communication facilities are par
alyzed tonight aud it is impossible to
confirm the reports Of loss OF life or
accurately to estimate the property
damage.
The greatest loss OF life reported is
at Lugart, where it is said fifteen per-
sons were killed. A special train sent
from Altus with physicians and nurses
when it was reported a passenger train
had been blown from the rails, picked
up ten injured persons and started
back for Altus. Two Of these, Mrs.
Lee Stanaland and Miss Eva Stanaland,
died on the train. 1t was reported a
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient train
had been blown from the track and
twenty persons killed, but it developed
that but two cars had been derailed
and no one was hurt.
The tornado started just across the
Texas border and first killed seven
persons at Kirkland, Texas, demolisb.
ing thirty buildings and blew Rock
Island work train off the track.
Tearing on northward, the storm
struck Flodorado, killing four; Calu-
met, killing three and Lugert and
Rocky, where half the town is in ruins;
Yukon, Warren, Martha, Blair and
Lone Wolf. AT each Of these places
many persons were hurt. Several of
these towns are cut off from communi-
cation tonight, What is believed TO
be the tail of the storm DESTROYED sew
eral buildings at Mulhall, fifty miles
north Of Oklahoma City, but SO far as
known there were no casualties there.
