REPUBLICANS TO HAVE
HEADQUARTERS IN CITY
Secretary HiIIes and James B.
Reynolds Confer at
White House.

James B. Reynolds, secretary of the re-
publican national committee. conferred
Tor long time at the White House today
with Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the
committee, as to some of the affairs of
the organization.
Since a few weeks after the November
election and the clearing up of unsettled
matters the republican national COM
mittee has been without headquarters, eX-
cept in the presence of Secretary Hilles
at the White House. In his office there
Mr.. Hilles has frequently conferred with
republican leaders. but it was not found
necessary to maintain headquarters.
Headquarters Planned.
The decision has been reached however,
to establish headquarters in this city
about April 1, with Mr.. Reynolds in
charge. No quarters have been selected,
and none will be for few weeks. but the
view of Chairman Hlles is that the
party should have headquarters here
during the first part of the coming
democratic administration. and possibly
throughout that administration, this to be
determined in accordance with events of
the future
The national committee purse is not
bullying with surplus from the last cam
paign by any means. but Mr.. Hilles, it is
said. believes that the leaders of the
party will be willing to give whatever
money is necessary to keep the party
machinery in a satisfactory place.
MIR. Hilles himself. while proposing to
go into business, will keep in touch with
headquarters, but does not feel that he
will have to give much of his time, owing
to the efficiency of Mr.. Reynolds as sec
rotary.

Interested in Hilles.

Friends Of Mr.. Hilles are greatly inter-
ested in what he is to do after leaving
the White House. 1t is known that a
number of large business concerns have
been seeking his services, but up to this
time he is not ready to make any an
nouncement. His work in the White
House and as head of the republican ma
tional committee has created a demand
for him in the business world that will
eventually lead, it is said to an important

AckLEY ENTIRELY UNDAMAGED.
Tornado, Like Many Storms In the
Past, Passed BY That Town.

Special u llHSSeASCpoOAiSSAAA'
Ackley, March 27.-Thru error, many
daily papers tilruout the whole coun-
try, in chronicling the storm OF last
Sunday night, had Ackley listed as one
of the unfortunate towns devastated.
The accounts differed, giving from one
to six dead besides the wounded. Since
that time kilograms from ANXIOUS
friends and relatives OF Ackley people
have been pouring in from every part
of the United States. Mayor ROBERTS
has been in receipt of several mes
sages of sympathy offering assistance,
the latest being telegram to that
effect received today from the mayor
of Baltimore.
A peculiar feature of the storm and
one to which the citizens Of this town
attach considerable Significance, Is
shown by the map Of its course thru
this state. Two branches or arms OF
the storm were headed SO that they
would meet right In this locality AID
vet both Of them were broken up just
west and northwest of the town and
no damage is reported east OF here
j from those particular branches OF the
storm. This and number of other
instances in past years lends credence
to the belief that Ackley Is immune
from tornados as the Typographical
features of the country Immediately to
the west, southwest and northwest Of
the town, not only protect Ackley, but
help materially in the disintesration OF
such atmospheric disturbances.
A claim of this nature has been made
in past years by biologists, quite a
number Of whom have visited this par
ticular part of Iowa. Whether or not
the peculiar geographical features of
the neighborhood are responsible. the
facts are that severe wind storms are
unknown here and have been observed
many times to break up west of the
town. Storms of violence have passed
Ackley a number. Of times in the past,
when it lay directly in their paths.
Sunday night the clouds to the west
broke up just before they reached the
town. and there was but slight
breeze experienced here and light
fall of rain and some hail, tho the cleo
trical display was appalling. as the
clouds, giving visible evidence of their
violent nature in their color and rapid
ity of movement, rolled up from the
distance. Not the slightest damage
was done In or in close proximity to
the town.
