TORNADO'S TOLL
 OF DEATH HEAVY
 IN THREE TOWNS

Omaha, Neb., May 15.--Reports re- ceived early today show that the tor nado which formed on the southern toll Of ten lives. injured forty per- sons and destroyed property valued at $z5O, 1000.
 At least three towns-Seward, Tam pa and McCool Junction-suffered structfon being at Seward where eight persons were killed and 1 injured. At TampoJ no lives were lost but much property destroyed. At McCooI June tion two deaths occurred.
 At Seward, a much greater disaster was averted by the fact that the tor nado crossed only a comparatively small part of the town instead Of sweeping across the more dense1y populated section two blocks south. The property loss in that city is esti- parently originated southwest of Mo Cool Junction and gathering force as it moved to the northeast, struck with full force both at Tomaro and Seward.
 The storm crossed this city. near the southern limits, but it's strength had been so far spent that the dam age done here was nominal. This fact, however, did not prevent many Onahans from seeking refuge !n eel nado proof.
 The experience of Easter Sunday taught them to consider seriously the approach of ominous looking clouds and the appearance in the southwest of last evenings storm was sufficient to set everybody to looking for ave- nues of escape. /.

CASE TO SET PRECEDENTS
Army of Lawyers Gathers in Albany Students Make SuIzer lmpeach-
 ment Trial Basis for Study.

Albany, N. Y, Sept 23.-While at torneys and news paper men are work ing their way through the Sulzer i'm peachment trial, small army of rep resentatiyes of law schools and uni versailles from all over the world is following the case closely and prepar- ing exhaustive reports.
 These men are attracted here be- cause of the few precedents which at torneys have to cite in cases of i'm peachment. Not since 1906 has there been an impeachment case in Eng. land, and only seven are on record in the United States. Many points which are being covered in the Sulzer trial never were raised in previous cases Long ;Teeks have been spent by at torneys for both sides and members of the court of appeals in studying every phase of all past impeachment cases.
 There was no morning session of the court yesterday. The senators and judges were ordered to report in the afternoon, when Attorney Louis Mar. shall of the SulZer counsel resumed argument on the constitutionality of the adjournment of the assembly last July, the failure of assemblymen to receive notification that on reconven. ing the assembly would consider i'm. peachment charges and the constitu. tionality of the impeachment itself on the ground that it was brought while the assembly was in extra ses. sion.
