WORK KEPT SECRET
FOR MANY HOURS
With Wires PROSTATE. News Of
Destruction Is Kept From

Comes Along.
MESSAGES SENT BY TRAIN
by Associated Press

Chicago. ILL.,. March 24.-By far the
sreat test damage was done in and near
Omaha. through part Of which tor
nado swept sunday evening. throwing
down many substantial buildings,
ripping off roofs and sidings of hun
drcds of houses and killing men and
children by the score.
The storm kept It's work secret
from the rest OF the world for hours
by breaking down all wire communl-
cation. Messengers with news stories
had TO go by train to Lincoln. the
State capital. to send out tho first defl-
mite news OF the disaster.
During the carly hours Of the morn
ing injured persons worked despair
meath RACED buildings. The debris
caught fire in many places, and many
persons were painfully burned before
they could be extricated.
No great number was killed In any
one place. The wind swept along,
taking its toll here and there. The
tornado even jumped over portions OF
again and dashed distractions to
earth.
The gale left Omaha only to sweep
on to towns in Iowa in the same de-
structive manner that It had attack
ed villages in Nebraska. Tho rage of
the elements even extended in a
somewhat abated form to points far
in the Eas. TO Illinois. No sooner
had the twister passed than gale
swept over much the same territory,
but with lessened fury.
What seems to have been sep
arate stormswept portions of Indiana.
being greatest in and near Terre
Haute. There nearly a score of per-
sons were slain and hundreds were
hurt. Other places In Indiana report
lesser damage.
The sleet and wind storm of the last
few days had reduced telegraph and
telephone companies to dire straits, as
hundreds OF poles and thousands of
miles OF wire were carried down in
tangle. The Easter tornado added
to the havoc west OF Chicago. al
though wires were repaired to the
east. In many cases large regions
were unable to use commercial tele-
graphic facilities and news associa
tions were compelled to send reports
In the most unusual ways to reach
the newspapers.
Floods swept through several Wis
consin cities. damaging many thous-
ands of dollars worth of goods. Dams
were washed out in many places and
the released waters swept over the
fields below.
In Chicago. all the elements seemed
to meet shortly after Easter Sunday
had closed Wind blew violent gale
snow flew before 1t In some places
hail crashed windows in other parts
passed. the wind died to a gentle
breeze. the sun shone brightly. and
the warmth OF the spring pervaded
