An echo Of the recent labor dis

GAME SAVED RANY LIVES
Farmers Home Was Carried

Special by United Press Wire.

Seward, Neb., May 15:-Nine per-
sons are dead today and seventeen
or more injured as the result of q
tornado which struck this city late
yesterday afternoon. The twister
formed near Grafton. moved north
east near MeCool and struck Seward.
1t then took a northeasterly direc-
tion towards Omaha, seeming to lose
much of its force by the time it
reached that city. Near McCool
Junction the home of Thomas Rior-
dan, a wealthy farmer, was hurled
into the Blue river, nearly quarter
0f a mile away. Today the body of
an infant was found in the half sub
merged house.
The tornado cut path half mile
wide in the open and swept an area
fifty miles in length. The eight
available doctors spent most of the
night attending the injured. The
hospital here was full and some Of
the patients were cared for at pri-
vate residences. -Four Of the bodies
we're fearfu1ly mutilated. All were
residents of Seward, according to
available records. Mayor Calder and
Sheriff Gillian today said they could
handle the situation. One hundred
deputies have been sworn to patrol
the stricken district and maintain
order. Seven sq"ads OF linemen are
at work today repairing telegraph
and telephone wires. The tornado
hit Seward near the Fair Grounds
Park, southwest OF the town. and
cut a swath from one to two blocks
wide and then trailed out of the city
to the northeast. Approximately
one-fifth of the town, which has a
population of seven thousand, was in
the path of the storm. A heavy rain
followed the tornado. Twenty-Five
houses were totally destroyed and
numerous barns and outbuildings.
The fact that the ball game played
IN the city at a point remote from
the residence district went into a tie
in the ninth inning and extended to
twelve, undoubtedly saved the lives
of players and spectators. Several
hundred men living In the storm
swept section were at the game and
knew nothing of the destruction
wrought until they arrived home an
hour later.
Frank Upton tagged Burlington
passenger train at the outskirts Of
the city and saved 1t from plunging
Into a mass of wreckage hurled upon
the track by the tornado. Upton
saw the debrir lying near the bridge
and ran a hundred yards UP the track
to warn the engineer.

OF steel wor--ers, who lives in South

IRON WORKER
GETS VERDICT
Injured Man Given $1,000
for Dizzy Head

Because he was subjected to much
dizziness resulting from a blow re-
ceived on his forehead while working
for Payne Brothers, steel construc-
tors, of Newark, and because he has
been unable to do any heavy work
since the accident. James Scott, of
this city, was yesterday given an
award of ten dollars per week for
102 weeks. or a judgment against
the contracting concern for, $1,000,
besides court and medical costs, in
the common pleas court Of Essex
county yesterday. Counsellor Thomas
Brown represented the plaintif In
the suit, which lasted for about six
months and in which testimony was
heard before the court on five sepa-
rate court days.
The suit was a phenomenal one, as
the man did not sustain any especial
physical injury from the blow which
he received June 8, 1912, while
working for the Payne Brothers at
the Raritan Copper Works here when
he was hit by falling piece of q
hoisting derrick. The trouble was
mental affection which caused the
man to sustain dizziness, and which
expert alienists testified would con.
tinue for two years.
Whenever the man bends over
blood rushes to his head and he be-
comes so faint he cannot stand. II
seems that the reaction of the blow
on the forehead had an adverse effect
on the medulla oblongata, the seat
of the nerves which terminate in the
brain. Among the specialists who
gave testimony In the case was DR.
Christopher G. Beling, of Newark
acknowledged to be an authority on
| mental diseases.

J. s. ELLSWORTH EXPLAINS
MEANING OF CIVIL SERVICE
Civil service in Tacoma.

Civil service in Tacoma.
There is no question but that
1t has come to stay. 1t is only a
question of how fast the evolution
is to proceed to give the city the
same efficiency that eastern cities
have found possible through civil
service protection to employees.
President j. s. Ellsworth of the
civil service board believes the
time has come for another for
ward step in Tacoma and it is
likely at the election next spring
the people will be asked to incOr-
pOrate- an entirely new section i'm
the charter ON the subject of civil
service.
"The whole civil service here
needs revising" said President
Ellsworth.
Mr.. Ellsworth attended the ma
tional civil service congress in
New York. He was one of the
speakers at the big banquet at the
Waldorf-Astoria arranged as q
compliment to the congress I'M
DER the direction OF Mayor Gay
nor. He was surprised and edi-
fled to discover that all the great
cities of the East are committed
frrevocably to civil service. May.
or Gaynor just prior to the con-
gress had issued a manifesto to
all department heads that they
should not even exercise discre.
tion in selecting zone of the three
highest" on the eligible list but
should take the highest always
and give him trial.
Chicago has wonderful sys
tenn of civil service making FOL
efficiency" said Mr.. Ellsworth
"but 1 really believe New Yorl
has more practical and effective
system than any other CITY,"

THAT indications are that

said his view of Huerta's imme-
