SCIENTIFIC DATA ON
THE OMAHA TORNADO
Two University Professors
Survey Zone Traversed by
Easter Sunday Storm.

OMAHA Neb., April 6,-There were
three distinct and possibly four lorna
does In Nebraska on Easter Sunday, ac-
eording to Professors Condra and c. A.
sity, who are here gathering scientific
data on the storm for the federal gov
ernment,
They were all parts Of the same dis
turbance. however. The professors de-
clared that II the twister which tore
through Berlin. Nep.. had struck oma ha.
It would have wiped IL off the face of
the map.
This explanation of the tornado is
given by the scientists:
There WAS a great mass OF cold air
coming from the northwest, AT the
same time there was mass OF warmer
air moving In lower current from the
southwest.
1.-THE two masses passed, one under
the other, the colder air above, The
colder air naturally pressed down on the
warmer air Harder and harder 1t be-
came, until the great pressure holes were
torn In the cold air.
'Theu the war air shot up in these
holes This started the energy and
whirling motion and the tornadoes re-
suited"
According to the professors holes
were torn in the cold air noyerlng near
Berlin, Yu;an. Omaha. and possibly
Tekamah.
From the survey Professors Condga
and Lovcland have made Of the tornado
zone, they figure that the storm varied
| in width from one-fourth to one half q
mile and that 1t took just thirty five
minutes for 1t TO cover forty miles 1t
| started at sos o'clock and left tho state
at $40.
More than 5000 men and boys volun-
| tar!ly went into the devastated district
| today and helped clear 1t OF It's mass OF
wreckage and debris Creighton uni
versity, Omaha university the Central
| high school and grade schools sent out
| thier students In squads To help the
workers. A spirit Of civic pride was
manifested by all and as q result the
chaotic condition Of the stormswept area
| presents much better appearance.

the states unless the claimant is citi-

They Informed Secretary Bryan that
California Is in favor OF the proposed

They declared that California would re-

explaining that to do so might leave
some sore spots.
There were several spirited contests

WV gress close at hand, speeula-
tion is rife on who will lead

mittee and leader Of the majority on
the floor of the house; Senator James
E. MARITIME of New Jersey, who is
known to be closely in touch with the
White house, and Senator o 'Gorman of

of the strong mon of the senate.
At the bottom, from left to right, are
Representative James r. Mann of Hi
nois, who will load the minority in the
house in it's fight against tariff legis-
lation; Champ Clark, who will be Sc
sentatives, and Senator Robert La Fol
lette, in charge Of the Progressive wing
of the senate,
About these men will revolvo the
fight sure to ensue in both houses when
the tariff measures are presented. I'm
derwood will have charge Of the com
mittee forming all tariff legislation.
O'Gorman and MARITIME are expected tt
lead the Democratic fight in the SEN

while Representative Mann, as minor
ity leader of the house, will oppose Un-
derwood and Clark in the house.

|"HE second day Of the eighty third
annual conference of the
Church OF Jesus Christ of Lat

addresses by mission and stake presi-
dents. Only one address was delivered
| by n high official Of the church. That
was brief talk at the opening of the
forenoon session bv Apostle George Al

The stake presidents and mission
presidents, with one exception, repre-,
sented the younger men in the minis
fourth generations. fact which was
dwelt upon as indicative Of the con-
tinuation Of the faith throughout the
generations. President Joseph F.. Smith
remarked that while most of those who
had spoken were of the third or fourth
generation. he could produce at least
dozen Of the fifth generation, "who

Sugar Schedule.

Negotiations on the sugar schedule
continued throughout the day. no de-
cision having been reached at q late
hour today as to the position TO be
taken by the opponents of free sugar.
II became evident during today that
proposals had been made between the
sugar and wool partisans looking TO
combination that might force the presi-
dent and the senate leaders to give some
protection TO both Industries, This dan
ger has worried the senane committee for
some time; but 1t was claimed tonight
that the influence OF President Wilsoo
and the demand that all Democrats abide
by the majority decision OF the party,
would force all but one or two senators
into a final acceptance of the proposed
revision

"HE Democratic state committee
met in this city yesterday af-
ternoon, to decide upon candl-
dates for the various appolntive
Offices in Utah and to recommend their
choices to the state chairman and ma
tionaI committeeman. The enthusiasm
in evidence at the meeting, which was
held on the third floor of No. l61
South Main street, caused the memo
ries of many Of the attendants to bark
back to the days when the Democratic
party in the state was at its zenith,
1t was in fact, good. old-fashioned
Democratic powwow and the spirit OF
brotherIy love was strong,
At one time the enthusiasm became
so great that it foated out Of the
windows and a new policeman, who
didn Il know that the Democracy Of the
great state of Utah was having love
feast. was ia the act Of turning in a
riot call, when he was advised OF the
aoines on and the reasons therefor. he
then gave his undivided attention to

Tabernacle Too Small.

II has become apparent that the tab
ernacle will not be found large enough
to accommodate the throngs that vii
attend the conference today. Indeed
the tabernacle has been taxed almost
to it's capacity with the meetings that
have thus far been held. At yester
days sessions. both forenoon and after
noon, additional seats had TO be pro
vided in the tabernacle. 1t is reason
able to assume, therefore, that Sun
days attendance will overflow both in
the morning and in the afternoon.
Music Yesterday consisted of the fol
lowing hymns; "Come, Let Us Anew
Our Journey Pursue" ooh, Ye Noun
