mated at l3, although several persons
still are reported missing. Five ne
groes were killed near New Decatur,
three persons perished at Calera and
two each at Hokes Bluff, Gainesville
and Duke.
Only one death has been reported
from Texas
Late reports from northern Missis-
sippi raised the death list from seven,
as last reported, to 13. These fatali-
ties occurred in seven counties. Wire
communication with number of
towns struck by the storm still is in
terrupted. No more deaths have been
reported from Louisiana.
Telephone and telegraph communi-
cation had been restored to most of the
larger towns and all of the cities in
the storm-swept territory.
Minneapolis, March 14.-A gale
which swept all Minnesota and the
greater part of the northwest reached
velocity of 60 miles an hour today.
In this city much minor damage was
done. Railway traffic is badly crippled,
all of the lines centering here repor-
ting passenger trains several hours
late, and in many instances stalled.

STORM
SWEEPS SOUTH
Dead Left in Path of
Southern Hurricane.

Indications from late reports, accor-
ding to the Butte Miner, are that more
than 80 persons were killed, scores
severely injured and great property loss
sustained in the destructive electrical
storm which swept parts of Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Miss
issippi and Texas Thursday afternoon
and night.
Eighty odd deaths have been repor-
ted and the total loss of life probably
will be increased when wire commune
cation is restored in remote sections
devastated by the cyclone. The dam
age to property will have to be reck-
oned in millions.
Twenty-Five persons are reported to
have perished in Georgia and damage
to property is roughly estimated at
81, N)0, 900. Calhoun, Gordon county,
Ga, and it's vicinity bore the brunt of
the storm, and II persons are reported
to have been killed. The other fatali-
ties in Georgia were nine at Tucker,
four at Eaglesville, three at Clarkson
and two at Columbus.
Late reports from Tennessee have
increased the death toll in that state
to % persons. -...

Practices of the most revolving ma
ture, which in his opinion, it was i'm
possible to prohibit in the. meager
quarters of the Granite reformatory,
we're recounted Thursday in the hear
ing conducted bv the commissioner
of charities and rections in regard
to that institution by GeorgeF ID. Da-
wilson. of Asher, former inmate OF
the prison. Fully so per cent of the
prisoners of the institution were ad-
didted to degenerate practices, he
declared. or were the victims of loath-
some perversions too unspeakable to
mention. Davidson stated under oath
that he had seen Warden Reed under
the influence of intoxicating liquors
and that 1t was an everyday occur
renee for the guards and the officials
of the reformatory to swear at the
boys.
Davidson stated that he was II
years of age, that he had been convict
ed on a charge of grand larceny and
sentenced to the reformatory for five
years. The young man told a straight
forward story that he had been con-
fined in the institution on January %,
1912 had escaped in July to so home
TO see his mother who was i'll had
returned and surrendered, then had
been called to turn states evidence
in trial at Shaypee and fiaally had
been parolcI 'y :"o governor on De
cember 27 1912, after he had scarcely
served years sentence.
During all of the time he was in.
carcerated in the institution, he de
clared that he had engaged in at least
100 fights with the other inmates, the
first alteration growing out of an
attempt on the part of one of the
other prisoners to make him the vic
tim of the immoral practices for
which the institution has been de
nounced as a BLACK hole OF Calcutta
Guards Did Not Interfere.
He said the guards had seen him
fight and that no Interference was
made unless the fight was unfair. In
the vernacular of the prison the boy
told of his various encounters and
a final Homeric contest in which nc

so many sleeping in one room, not
on account of the practices which have
now developed to exist, but on ac-
count of sanitary reasons.
story Of Warden.
Warden Reed in telling his story
emphasized the fact that the law as
it exists required him to take the prls-
oners who were sent to the reform
atory. He said he had turned down
one man who was sent to him for the
reason that he was in the last stages
of tuberculosis, but that he had later
been compelled to give up the fight
because of mandate of the ccuit.
In the case of boy of sixteen he sta
ted that he won out in his objection as
likewise in the case of a boy who
bad committed no penal offense and
was sentenced for being incorrigible.
Warden Reed said he had entered
upon his duties under the Haskell
administration and that he had work
ed hard with the poorest kind C.
facilities to make a reputable instl-
tuition of the Granite reformatory.
Farm Foreman Briggs, who was one
of the witnesses called before the
house investigating committee. re-
ported that he had heard cursing
among the boys and guards and ths
he had. seen smoking. He said he had
been told b. the boys that sodomy was
praCticed. He said that everybody
about the institution knew Of these
abuses and were endeavoring to stop
the practices. In regard to Assistant
Warden Hackett, he complained that
that officer was too kind hearted and
was inclined to be oyerlenient in
his discipline OF the prisoners.
G.. l.. Wilson, Sr, the father of the
present reformatory law declared that
he would hardly know the measure in
its emasculated condition He stated
that "he was sentenced to the second
legislature and was the author of the
hill he supposed was the reformatory
measure" OF the act, h said, it
retained its name with none of its
characteristics. He declared that the
bi ! as introduced was for a reforma
tory although after it came out of
the committee it provided for another
penitentiary. Under the condition, he
gave as his opinion that the manage
ment of the institution was not re
sponsible for the conditions that eX-
isted
The hearing lasted until late in the
evening when adjournment was taken
until Friday morning.

for cursing him, but even this act, ne
said, did not bring down upon him
the wrath of the authorities in charge.
For fighting off the prisoner who
sought to make him submit to the
practice of sodomy, Davidson stated
that he was sentenced to the dark
room.
Punishments, he declared, were fire.
cment and the pole" was in use most
of the time. The pole" he explained,
was form of punishment in which
the handcuffed hands of the prisoner
we're held up owe" his head, whl'e
the victim was forced to stand III
tris position COR hours. The dark
cell" another form of chastlsement,
was merely darkened room in which
the prisoner was placed in seclusion'
The immoral practices, he declared,
we're carried on both at night and in
day time and some Of the guards
knew of the situation. Davidson al
firmed that he was positive that 81
per cent of the inmates of the instl-
tuition were addicted to the gross hab-
its but that complaints as to the num-
ber of those practicing the abuses
were not made known to the warden
or the deputy warden for fear the
"bullies' would get even with the
"snitchers."
Treatment from Guards.
He declared that the guards general
ly used profane and indecent Ian
guage to the boys and that he had
been told that Deputy Warden Hack
ct was brutal in his management Of
the prisoners. He said Ae was pres
ent when one of the guards in one
of the towers shot one of the boys,
who was in the dormitory at the time.
He said he never learned why tho
boy was shot and only saw him when
they were carrying him out, dying.
This guard. he said, was relieved Of
duty, although he could not say wheth-
er charges had been preferred against
him
Drinking, declared Davidson. was
not uncommon among the inmates
and the authorities. He stated that
on one occasion Warden Reed came
into the dining room where the boys
