EIGHT DEATHS ARE
TOTAL STORM TOLL
AREA rs FORTY MILES LONG,
BUT PATH is A VERY
NARROW ONE.

LINCOLN, NEB,. May 15.--Ai-
though all Of the tornado swept terri
tory has not been heard from, 1t is
believed that the eight deaths in the
town Of Seward complete the storms
toll. Twenty are injured at Seward,
four near McCool Junction and six
at other points. Three Of these in
tured at Seward may die The prop
erty loss there will approach $125.000
The authorities have the situation In
hand, and no outside aid was asked.
The storm swept across q stretch
Of territory forty miles In length. but
its path was very narrow, averaging
not over q block In width. The only
town hit was Seward. and there II
plowed a small furrow through the
poorer residence district. The num-
Der Of fatalities was lessered by the
fact that the storm struck just before
the supper hour. and that many were
warned In time to escape to their cell
lars. The storm was remarkable in
that 1t perpetrated few freaks. and
that It took long jumps In Its jour-
ney across country.

MINISTER OF WAR.
HAS RESIGNED
ALEXANDRA M.LLCEAND, HEAD
OF FRENCH WAR DEPART
MENT, GIVES Up OFFICE.

Pars, Jan. 12.-Alexandre Millerand,
who won a reputation at home and
abroad as a great war minister, re-
signed from that office today. M.
LeRrun, minister of colonies, has been
appointed minister of war, and M.
Bernard, under secretary of finance,
replaces NJ. LeBrun. The under Sec
retaryship in the ministry Of finance
is abolished temporarily.
This ministerial crisis was the di-
rect outcome of the reinstatement of
Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty de Clam
in the French territorial army.
The reinstatement led to dramatic
sessions of the cabinet, at which NJ.
Millerand explained that he felt in
honor bound to re-establish Patty de
Clam in fulfilIment of 4 promise by
his predecessor in the war ministry,
NJ. Messing, but as this act was caus-
ing serious attacks against the min
istry, he desired to withdraw.
Premier Poincare admitted that, had
the minister Of war conferred with
him, he could not have seen his way
clear to ratify h reinstatement of
Du Patty de Clam. Nevertheless he
wanted to stand by the war minister
and believed it vas the duty of the
entire ministry to resign.
The decision of the cabinet to re-
main in office is accredited to the
influence of AriStide BRAND, minister
of Justice,

esting and unique figures from the fan
west who will take part in the DELHI
erations of the next congress are
George Kindel, representative, and
John f. Shafroth, senator, both from
Colorado.
In the November elections Kindel
received the biggest vote given any
candidate, showing that the way of the
reformer is not always hard, even in
Colorado. Kindel has been a very
active reformer for a long time and
Tor several years has been known as
the "freight-rate buster" He has
locked horns with almost every big
railroad of the west, and. although he
has sustained several defeats. he has
won many notable victories.

Business Men FavOring
 New Waterfront Avenue

would provide water level avenue connecting the two industrial districts on each side of the town and become q great economic factor in the hand ling of freight and supplies that must reach those industrial districts. It would also afford egress to the only available territory for the physical expansion of the town. Moreover, a very earnest argument in favor of the roadway along the waterfront is the value it will have in giving increased fire protection to the town. A street such as this would be Of inestimable benefit in case of fire along the water front. It would make every place eas' ily accessible to the fire department, We are no longer a village, we have grown into a city and are confronted with city's needs We should rise to the occasion and meet the de- mands."
 Charles Goldstein, head of the big Goldstein stores. said: "Yes, l think it is a splendid idea to create this waterfront avenue. If the wharf own CTS will join in the plan there ought not to be any difficulty in bringing it about While it would not benefit me individually, | realize that it would be of great benefit to the whole town and am therefore in favor of it."
