Seek Shelter In Cellars.
Omaha, May 16.-Reports show that
the destructive tornado which formed
In the southern part of Seward coun-
ty took toll of ten lives, injured
forty persons and destroyed property
valued at $250,000. The greatest de-
struction was at Seward, where eight
persons were killed and fourteen in
jured.
At Seward a much greater disas-
ter was averted by the fact that the
tornado crossed only comparatively
small part of the town, instead of
sweeping across the more densely
populated PORTION two blocks south.
The property loss in that city is es-
timated at 100000.
The tornado apparently originated
southwest of McCool Junction and
gathering force as 1t moved to the
northeast struck Seward with full
force.
All telegraphic and telephone lines
were demolished in the path of the
storm. Until the wires are repaired
the full extent of the damage and the
number of casualties will not be def
nitely known
The storm crossed this city near
the southern limits, but its strength
had been so far spent that the dam
age was nominal. This fact however,
did not prevent Omaha generally from
seeking refuge i'm cellars and other
places considered tornado proof.

Then Tells Members They Must Be
Fair With Labor.

Washington, May 16.-A warning to
business interests that the govern
ment stands ready to investigate
what may appear to be reprisals upon
workingmen following the passage of
the Democratic tariff bill was voiced
here by Secretary Redfield of the de-
partment of commerce, in a speech
before the National Association Of
Employing Llthographers. Secretary
Redfield read to the employers cir
cular they had issued predicting dire
consequences for working men and
fatty told them II their predictions
were carried into effect he would
promptly investigate.
IF l grasp the public mind at all
clearly" he said, at holds unfavora.
BILE views toward reduction of wages,
except under the direst necessity
AS, therefore, the reduction of wages
has direct social effects and as the
public has the right to efficiency In
their factory service, the department
has undertaken to find out whether
the facts do or do not justify the
threatened reduction.
"It Is not too much to say that pub
lie opinion demands that operatives
shall receive a living wage, and, SO
far as possible, continuous employ
ment; that they be freed from arbi-
trary reductions In the daily wage or
OF the piecework rate. The public
conscience demands that they work
under healthy conditions, with ample
light, without overspeeding, and with
the same provisions for their safety
at their work that the employer would
desire for himself were he so en-
ployed."
Secretary Redfield attributed to In
efficiency on the part of many manu-
facturers the smallness OF profit and
the necessity for retrenchment In op-
Grating cost at the expense OF their
employees.

TO RESTOCK
THE DELAWARE
WITH STURGEON
Government Decides to Carry
Out the Suggestion Of
Former Minister
Knowles
FISH WILL COME FROM
ROUMANIAN WATERS

Sturgeon. out OF whose spawn
caviar is prepared, will be restored
to the Delaware River. according TO
an announcement at the Department
OF Commerce today.
Several years ago sturgeon fishing
in the Delaware was highly profit
able especially to fisherman from
Delaware. Some OF the fish weighed
as much as $50 pounds, and caviar
taken from them sold as high as 81
a pound. As a result the entire stock
was depleted, and none are now
caught except in the lower reaches
OF the river.
A similar condition prevailed on
the Pacific coast. Now the Govern
ment proposes to import sturgeon
from Roumania and experiment with
them in the Delaware.
The idea Of importing the fish was
submitted TO the Department of Com
merce by Minister Horace @. Know
les, until recently at Bolivia, who is
now on a visit to Wilmington, his
former home, Bolivia. Before going
70 Bolivia Mr.. Knowles was Minister
to Roumania While there he became
interested In the sturgeon fishing in
Idustry. and five years ago urged Off
cials OF this Government to import
sturgeon to streams Of the United
States.
Recently he was In Washington,
and discussed the subject with Secre-
tary Redfeld. The Secretary was in
terested and called In the Fish Com
missioner. The latter approved the
plan and II was decided to start nego-
tiations with the Government Of
Roumania with view 10 getting per-
mission TO import the fish. Secretary
Redfield directed the Fish Commis-
sioner to bring to Philadelphia three
car loads Of sturgeon.
The fish will be shipped in tanks
filled with water from the rivers
they inhabit In Roumania.
Mr.. Knowles today said the Roumanla
sturgeon weigh as much as 2500 pounds,
and in a fish Of that size there win be
about 500 pounds Of caviar, which in Eu-
rope sells for 81 pound This means
that one massive sturgeon may have a
market value Of s350O. Some Of the
sturgeon caught recently in the Deh-
ware river have sold for $3.50.
Mr.. Knowles spent some time In Wash
ington trying to interest DIR. Smith, ma
tional fish commissioner, and Secretary
Redfield in importing sturgeon from
Roumania for propagation in American
waters Mr. Knowles first thought the
subject and its Importance in that i,
would revive a fish industry that is be.
