 Had the storm come an hour later, the death toll undoubtedly would have been much greater than it was, be- cause only the women and children, in most cases. were in their homes.
 Children Lose Parents.
 After the disaster little children ran about crying and calling for their pa rents. Mothers who lost their chil- dren temporarily in the rain and hail which accompanied the wind were driven to frenzy before they discov- cred them safe in some neighbor's house, which had not been severely damaged.
 Many men probably owe their lives to the fact that they were attending a ball game in a different section of the city when the storm broke. The game lasted 12 innings and every fan stayed until the last moment.

ASHURST OF ARIZONA WANTS INQUIRY INTO CONTRACTS
 FOR 25 YEARS BACK.
SAYS WE PAY FAR TOO MUCH
Declares Armor Trust Will Get Clear Profit of si.60o, ,ooO on the Penn syIvanla-Character of Mate
 rial Furnished Questioned.

Washington, May 21.-Secretary Daniels investigation of the armor plate contracts for the last 20 years is about over. A Washington dispatch states Daniels Is almost ready to recommend the government owner ship of armor plate factories. It t-fs believed at the navy department that the secretary, when he returns from North Carolina, will give out vigor- ous statement about the profits that steel manufacturers have made out of the government since the old battle ship Oregon was built.
 Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari- S100,000 for thorough investigation of the armor plate contracts for 20 years back. The senator said:
 'I believe that this government has paid to the armor plate trust, com posed of the Carnegie, Bethlehem and Midvale companies, not less than $45.000,000 in profits for the armor plate that went into the 30-odd armored cruisers of the United States navy The first battleships have yield ed to the steel interests more than S1,000000 each.
 Paying Too Much for Plate.
 If good armor plate costs the man. ufacturer $254 ton to turn it out we are paying for two ships what three should cost l am talking from the standpoint of a large-navy man. I do not want a small navy, but I think the government should not have to pay for armor plate at such rate as that.
 We are paying too much for steel plate, and after we get it we do not know what it Is. I have been in formed that armor plate can be made for $54 ton. l doubt if that sort of plate is of much value for battleships, but it is said that for $1S7 ton good armor sheet Is turned out. I allow the armor trust s254 a ton, and then fig ure that we are going to give the Car negie, the Bethlehem and the Midvale companies a clear profit of $1,600,000 on the dreadnaught Pennsylvania.
 "The bids made for the armor plate for the Pennsylvania were $34 higher per ton than the last contract with the same manufacturers called for. The contract was made by discred- ited administration just as it was go ing out. After we get the armor plate no man can say whether it is good or bad. It may cost the manufacturers s54, or SITS, or $254 to make it. 4 single shot may sink one of the first class vessels.
 Inferior Carnegie Plate.
 ''I want to protest and investigate. The Carnegie company, the prede- cessor at that time of the present one, was called to answer for putting off inferior armor plate on the govern. ment 16 or IT years ago. It was found that the navy department had been defrauded out of about $500,000 on a contract. The Carnegie company com promised by paying over $160,000. Who knows but that we are being

ing that was much better than-is found
in the average negro minstrel tent show
Happy" Dudley was there with his
song about Jones and he put it over
satisfactorily after having occupied the
stage alone a half hour before deciding
that it was time to sing the song. To pass
away the time, he sprang a few Jokes
that were good and took well with the
crowd.
The singing. of course. was the princi-
pal feature and the first part of the show
during which the interlOcutor has his
fling, ran rife with good negro music
Two songs. one by q man and one by a
woman. were especially good.
"Bctwecn the acts "a few jokes were
sprung that, though a little old, always
take well. At least they made the crowd
laugh, and that is the desired end in AM
minstrel performance.
The crowd. it might be said. almost
filled the tent. and the company is evi-
