State Aid for Sufferer.

Lincoln, Neb-Neither House Of the
Legislature attempted to hold ses-
sion Monday, so many members going
TO the stricken city of Omaha that a
quorum could not be mustered in
either branch. Such members as re-
NAMED in Lincoln discussed the prob
able action to be taken by the Legis-
lature Il ths woy of relief for tornado
stricken communities. and the general
sentiment was that any recommends

make would be carried out.

DEATH LIST INCREASES.
Streets and Residence Districts Strewn
With Dead and DesoIation.

Chicago, March 25.-Every hour in
creases the list of dead and injured in
| Sundays tornado that left Indiana
Iowa and Nebraska towns in ruins. In
the Omaha-Council Bluffs region, out
side Omaha the dead is estimated at
more than fifty.
In Terre Haute eighteen persons are
known to have been killed, $50 more
or less are seriously injured, 275
homes are destroyed and other proper
ty damage, estimated at nearly a mil
lion dollars, was the toll of the lorna
do Sunday night. Last night the Off
cials in charge of the rescue work say
the list of dead will be increased as
the searchers clear away the debris
of wrecked buildings.
Hundreds of homeless in Terre
Haute are being cared for by chari-
table institutions and citizens, while
the wrecked district is being patrolled
by Company B, First regiment, Indi.
ana National Guards, and the local
police force. The militia was ordered
out by Governor Ralston, who directed
the relief measures from indianapolis.
The downpour, while adding to their
discomfort, was probably the greatest
boon the stricken district could have
asked, for it eXtinguished innumerable
fires that broke out Immediately after
the tornado had passed.
The rescue work was carried on
fast, and it appears that all the home
less are being cared for by charitable
institutions and citizens, while the
more seriously injured have received
medical attention. In many cases pri-
vate homes were turned into tempo
rary hospitals.
Narrowing stories of their expert
ences are told by the survivors of the
storm. The scenes in the wrecked
sections in Terre Haute brought tears
to the eyes of the rescuers, whose at
tention was often called to the dying,
trapped in the debris of their homes,
by agonizing screams for aid. Some
died before they could be freed from
the wreckage, and others who were re-
moved will die.
Throughout the district of wrecked
homes survivors searched for loved
ones, but in the majority of cases they
were disappointed.

Wires were snapped off in all di-

All forms of communication were al
most annihilated by the wind and only
two or three wires were in working con-
dition when daylight relieved night
of high tension, which at times almost
became panic. Soldiers, state and ma

Inc greatest loss OF lie occurred
sectionally. Three points in the path
of the storm offered the greatest sac
rifices. These were at Fortieth and
Farnum streets where a crowd had
sought refuge in a garage; at Twenty
fourth and Lake streets, where a NOV

and at Twenty-fourth and Willis ave-

fatalities were large.
The monetary loss will, it is estimat-
ed, exceed $5,O0O,OOO. Perhaps 1900
persons are homeless.
Aside from this, 5000 buildings
were more or less damaged, many of

FRENCH DEPUTIES
DISCUSS NEW LOAN
Amount of $26O,OOO, Is
Needed to Cover Budget
Deficit.

PARIS, Nov. 27,--The chamber OF depu-
ties took UP for debate today the ques-
ton Of the new loan OF $3.50, 100000 10
cover the budget deficit and 1t is ex-
pected that a vote viii be reached by
Friday night or Saturday
The debate was somewhat delayed by
NJ, Juares, the Socialist leader. who
moved that no loan should be considered
until the government had notified the
chamber that Il would adopt an active
pacific!st progra ammo. He urged that the
government take the initiative in pro-
posing universal arbitration by the powers
OF the world In all international contro-
versies.
The premier, j. Louis Barthou, replied
that such a step was foredoomed To fall
ure, because the triple alliance during
the Balkan crisis had refused to consider
arbitration when France proposed that
the Balkan question should be submitted
TO The Hague. II was impossible, he
said, for France TO begin again
The motion was rejected by vote Of
4S9 to 1iS, and the chamber then passed
TO the discussion OF the loan.
1t is generally considered that the gov
ernment VIII have a safe majority when
the question comes 10 a vote, and IL
