WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-State de-
partment officials believe that an
anti-American campaign is being con-
Quoted by great commercial interests
whose heads are not allied in any
way with the commercial interests of
the United States.
This opinion was expressed today
as the result of a note which the Co
lOmbian government is reported to
have sent to the Mexican congress,
protesting against interference of the
United States in Latin American af-
fairs. While the motive for the al
legged note has been the revolution
which resulted in the creation of the

of the Panama Canal Zone, less than

Officials of the state department
say that President Wilson's Mobile

Remnants of 100 Acre Entry Pass
Out of Roberts Descendants Hands

A brick homestead stands on the
front part of the lot while on the rear
ruins of the old barn of the estate
still stands. This barn will be re-
moved to make way for the erection
of a three story modern apartment
house. The proposed structure Will
face South A street.
The Roberts home has long been

visitors of the city. In early pioneer
days the home was a center of activl

In Glen Miller Park, was on the
grounds of the Roberts estate. The
present buildings on the property
were built seventy-six years ago, bu
are well preserved.

( OMAHA, Neb., March 25.The
Omaha storm impresses one with the
Incredible power Of wind. Under
tornado conditions wind becomes a
thing equal in devastating might to
dynamite, cannon fire or thunder
bolts and all magnified to hundred
diameters. This tornado moved a
path across the city of Omaha FIVE
miles long and block wide. Within
that zone the destruction is indescrib-
able. Not a house escaped.
Entering the city, it plowed through
the wooden houses OF the poor and
moderately well-to-do in the suburbs
and wrecked them. Then 1t attacked
the brick and stone mansions In the
best residence part of the city and
wrecked them Slate and tile roofs
went like shingles. Stone and brick
were crushed Ike paper. The show

hattlements crumbled in the same
explosive blow that carried away the

such thing as tornado-proof build
ing. And it Is all a mere matter OF
wind-the same force as the gentle
breeze Of summer. This Is the ply
sical mystery and wonder Of the tor
nado.
Brick and stone houses were shear
ed off like cheese. Their materials
came crashing down in chaos. The
people were in the houses, kept there
by the threatening weather. Why
were there not thousands killed, in
stead of hundreds? This is another
wonder. One exploring these ruined
