Tornado Floods
Follow Extremes
In Spring Weather

To the fact that, in the months be-
tween winter and summer, one part OF
the country may be experiencing warm
weather while another section not far
removed may still have winter temper
atures, Forecaster VonHerrmann, OF
the local bureau, ascribes the outburst
of tornado storms which have swept
the middle West and have caused tor
rental rainfalls and floods.
A sudden rise of temperature in q
particular locality, he said to-day, de-
velops a low pressure area, into the
center of which the wind rushes from
every point of the compass. If there is
sufficient difference in the temperature
of this locality and the surrounding
districts, the swirl of winds grows mag
ically into a destroying atmospheric
demon which sweeps over the country
with terrific force until, its energy
spent, the clouds loose their water upon
the earth
Tornado Came From Coast.
The tornado which leveled buildings
in Omaha and brought death and de-
struction to the city, later travelling
eastward and causing the nations
greatest tragedy, had it's beginning in
the state of Washington about MarU
JIG, according to VOnHerrmann. The
cyclonic conditions were developed in
the manner described, and moved
swiftly eastward over the Western
states, depolishing homes, public
| buildings and farm houses as they
went.
When the middle West was reached
the force was greatly spent, and just as
the surcharged clouds lowered above
the river valleys OF Ohio and Indiana,
| they burst and deluged the cities and
hamlets below.
Hit Atlanta From Texas.
The windstorm which passed over
Atlanta was caused in the same man
ner, VonHerruann said. This one had
| its origin in the lower part of the
/ Western United States, swept over the
| Gulf states, passed near Corpus Christi
| Texas, and then swerVed toward Allan
ia, but not with one-third the force that
| propelled the tornado that spent its
| vengeance upon the Ohio and Indiana
| cities.
Because of the heat Of summer
! these cyclones virtually never happen
| later in the year, for all of the country
usually is uniformly warm at the same
time, and there is no undue rising of
| the heated air at one particular point.

to Relieve Distress.

The joys of an automobile, nowhers
better appreciated than on the fine
roads about Atlanta, were sacrificed by
Mayor James G. Woodward to-day for
the benefit Of the sufferers from the
floods in Ohio and Indiana.
Council recently passed a resolution
appropriating $4,000 for a machine for
the mayor.
To-day Mayor Woodward vetoed that
resolution in a short message to couD-
ell. He declared that the money
could be used better in relieving the
distress of the flood survivors, and that
he was mighty glad to make whatever
sacrifice was involved.

.REC|TES HORROR
Starvation Now Faces ZaneS-
vile Refugees, She Asserts.
Thousands Homeless.

CLEVELAND, OHIO. March 2s.-A
graphic story of flood horrors at strick-
en- GAINESVILLE is the word picture given
by Miss airline Bell. one of the four
marooned telephone girls at the eX-
change office in that city, over a long
distance line into this city to-day.
For the first time in two days we
see a glimmer of hope" she said, THE
river has stopped rising, and if there
are no more rains and the reservoirs IN
the valley above us hold. the water will
begin to recede by shutdown.
But still the situation here is awful.
The river is four miles wide here and
houses are in water up to the second
and third stories. We must have food
or starve. Hundreds have been killed
by the flood and as many more will die
unless relief is received
The office in which I have been
working with three other girls is just
outside the flood district. From the
front window we can see bodies float
ing in the water, and everywhere the
scene is horrible.
City in Darkness.
THE electric light plant has been
swept away and last night the town
was in darkness. Our only light was
from the one gas main that has not
broken.
Every few minutes some noise loud =
er than the tremendous tumult of the
water tells us that another building has
collapsed.
The water is so feet in some parts
Of the city and bodies are floating in it
and parts of houses and dead animals
can be seen.
Don't forget to tell people to send US
food and clothing, water and medicine.
The situation was still serious there
today. Thousands of homeless suffered
intensely from the cold and from lack OF
supplies Reports to-day declared that
the loss of life in the Muskingum valley
would reach 500.
Calls for extra militiamen We're sent
to nearby towns this morning, as the
local guardsmen have been on duty here
for ~ hours continuously and are worn
out.
More Houses Burn.
Several houses were burned to the
waters edge during the night Many
buildings have collapsed. A number OF
persons marooned on the third and
fourth floors of the higher buildings
were rescued to-day by policemen and
firemen.
Many of the refugees are on the verge
of insanity, owing to their terrible ex-
periences. Several men and women
who lost all their loved ones IN the fiooi
attempted to leap into the torrent but
were held back by friends. Estimates
to-day place the number of houses
swept away at between 500 and 500.
The gas, water and heat supply is
broken and if conditions do not allevi-
ate during the next twelve hours the
death list will grow rapidly.

Miss Sue Ford. missionary repre-
sentine the Missionary Board of the
Methodist church, who has been sta
toned at Durango, Mexico, has return
ed to her home in this city after hav-
ing been notified by the American con-
sui that the safety of Americans could
not be guaranteed.
Miss Ford gives graphic account of
the situation in Mexico and the chaotic
conditions following the overthrowing
of the Madero administration. and the
ascendancy of Huerta and Diaz to the
head of the provisional Government.
1.-The prospects for peare. from my
observations, says Miss Ford, "are
any thing but promising under the
present administration Many of the
states are In an uproarious rebellion
despite the newspaper reports to the
contrary. The lives of Americans are
held very cheaply and those VITO can
do so are fleeing the country"
According to Miss Ford the troops
from the town where she was station
ed were removed at the outbreak of
hostilities in the Mexican capital fol-
| lowing the release of Diaz from pris-
on. and the populace of the city were
afforded no protection from the bands
of brigands that ar&/ permitted to go
over the country pillaging and murder
ing. without any attempt on the part
of the Government to check the atroci-
ties.
Murde ring bands of Mexicans infest
the country. surrounding the town
where she was located, and visiting
every city extract money and provis-
| ions from foreign residents as we'll as
the natives. Not only has the govern
ment failed to protect Americans but
in most instances they have been de-
MED the privilege of protecting them
selves and all of the American men
have been relieved of arms.
AS consequence Americans are
| leaving the country as rapidly as pos
sible, but great difficulty is being ex-
perienced owing to the fact that trav-
ell is very dangerous. Mary of the
refugees from the interior are making
their way to the seacoast towns with
the view of embarking by steamship
for America.
| Friends and relatives of Mrs. FORD
in this city were very apprehensive as
to her safety as she was located in the
heart of one of the rebellious districts
Communications from her were very
infrequent and this fact served to in
crease the anxiety of her relatives
hee. She left her post at the order of
! the Kentucky Conference after the
conditions in Mexico had been laid be-
! fore it and. when the American Consul
failed TO promise protection for Amer
leans.
Do you know that more real danger
turks in a common cold than in any
other of the minor ailments. The safe
way is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. thoroughly reliable prepa-
ration. and rid yourself of the cold as
quickly as possible. This remedy is
for sale by all dealers.
There is no better medicine made for
colds than Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy. 1t acts On natures plan, relieves
the lungs, opens the secretions, aids
eXpectoration and restores the system
to a.healthy condition. For sale by all
dealers.
