HEAVY. RAINS AND Gales.
Torrential Downpours, Followed by
Fierce Winds Cause
Anxiety

The cloudy weather and easterly
winds of yesterday brought heavy
rains during The night, which were fol-
lowed by others this morning.
The wind subsequently moved from
the southeast to the southwest, when
it came in heavy flaws, for time caus
ing apprehension.
Reports were in circulation to the
effect that many trees had been blown
down in Fairfax county, west of Alex
andria, and while these rumoEa were
passing from mouth to mouth mes
sage was received in this city from a
news agency making inquiries con-
cerning report: which was being cir
culated in different parts of the coun-
try to the effect that out city had been
eliminated from the globe by a tornado
which struck here at an early hour this
morning.
At that time the wind was roaring
through the city, impeding the prog
res:, of pedestrians, especially females.
1t was also whistling through cleo
trio, telegraph and telephone wires,
causing at times apprehension.
Later the wind veered to the west
and finally northwest, when clearing
conditions followed.
People who came Ito this city today
corroborated the reports of the dam
age wrought by the wind in Fairfax
county for about a mile from Alexan-
dria. Silos were blown over, roofs
torn from some houses, trees uprooted,
and telephone and telegraph wires and
poles thrown across the roads.
Mr.. George Aud, who reached this
city during the morning, tells of a
thrilling experience on his way. He
thought at times that he would be
compelled to abandon the trip.
Some hail fell during the disturbance.
While the wind was at its height part
of the roof of the round hou:e of the
Southern Railway in this city now be-
ing repaired was blown off and Will
liam Bayliss. VINO :sas employed
there, had his left leg broken. He was
taken to his home where he received
surgical attention.
After the wind had subsided and an
investigation had been made it was
found that nearly one hundred tele-
graph and telephone poles had been
prostrated in Fairfax county west of
Alexandria.
Washington, Jan. 3.-A severe storm
today destroyed telegraphic communi-
cation and practically isolated the en-
tire territory south Of Washington.
The hurricane accompanied by de-
luge of rain was felt as far north as
here.
A brief dispatch from Richmond sfa-
ted that number Of buildings had
been unroofed and plate glass windows
of many stores smashed by the veloc-
ity of the wind. 1t was reported that
a roof wrenched off building at Pc
tersburg, Va, had killed a man.
A complete wrecking crew was called
into service in this city to rescue a
coIored man, a mule and wagon so-
lated by the storm in a "blind" ar!ey
downtown. The negro drove the wag-
on into the alley as the Storm broke.
Then the wind overturned a small
temporary building at the alley en-
trance and big oak tree, completely
blocking the only exit.

That the filing Of $4,000 damage
suit for alienation of affections, which
would have opened an old scandal,
caused Henry Edey, wealthy broker,
to murder mis- wife and then commit
suicide in their country mansion at
Bellport, Long Island, yesterday has
been revealed. 1t was learned that two
days ago papers were served on Edey
in suit brought by Gardner Muir
dock, who charged alienation of Mrs.
Murdock's love. 1t is supposed that
brooding over the reopening Of the
Edey- -Murdock scandal, involving both
Mrs. Edey and Mrs. Murdoch, preyed
upon Edey's mind, driving him to tenn
porary insanity. In the events that
led up to the murder and suicide it was
charged that Mrs. Edey, described as
''the daughter Of a fisherman who po-
ssessed the fatal gift of beauty" was
alleged to have eloped with Gardner
Murdock, the keeper of livery stable
at Belport, and the Edeys had just
been reconciled.

LAKE FRONT PARKS.

Whiting has the largest lake front
park In the county. When compared
with adjoining communities Whit
ing has done we'll but its park is
inadequate.
Hammond has less than this. 1t
has a mere apology for a water front
breathing spot at Robertsdale beach.
And Gary and East Chicago-Indi-
ana Harbor have none at all.
To outsiders it must seem strange
that the municipalities Of this coun-
ty, one of the three in the state
having lake coast, should have pass
ed by opportunities to procure lake
front breathing spots.
1t may not come in this genera
ton but succeeding one, when this
region is congested, will demand and
secure lake front parks. 1t will
mean the ousting OF some railroad
tracks and the securing possession
of mill yards; but the corporations
will find public sentiment too power
full to resist it.

publicans keeping Democrats in
Some of the Indiana Democrats were
about 90 become discouraged over the
prospect. They feared that the term
of the administration would slip away
and that they would not get any jobs.
But Cullop's stand has given them new
hope, and they are now more encour-
aged. They believe that the President
will begin using the axe in short
time.
The two revenue relationships the
district attorneyship and a horde Of
postoffices are to be filled in Indiana.
There are numerous candidates for
every place. The Terre Haute district
collectorship is nailed down by Isaac
Strouse But the indianapolis collec-
torship Is just as far from settlement
as every. One day you hear that Peter
J. Kruger OF South Bend, Is to have
the place, even If Senator Shively
breaks a traces In putting him over.
The next day your hear that Kruger
hasn't a ghost of chance, because the
President does not believe that reve-
nue. collector should be friendly
terms with a brewer as Kruger is with
Crawford Fairbanks. So there you
are, one QOcS Iict hHtW Whde W tHihh
about IL. Anonymous charges have
been made time and again against
Kruger, but the fact that they are not
signed by anyone. but come like rain
from a cloud has discredited them at
Washington. and in fact they have
done Kruger more good than harm.
If any man were to come forward and
! father these charges. according TO dis
patches. the result might be different.
But none has come.
There are many postofices in Indi-
ana to which President Wilson could
appoi Democrats, and there Is a loud
wall because he has not dozen SO. But

dent does not intend to make any ap-
pointments now that can be put off

Governor Marshall for president.
He is too light a weight for that
office. He hasn't got height, or
depth, OF breadth enough for that
position. There isn't one man in a
million fit for the presidency. That
would make about 80 or 80 men out

one Of them? 1t may be conceded
that the governor is a good man
that he is conscientious, and all that

SINGING AT WORK.

If we are recommended To whistle
at the plough why not sing while at
other labor?
French financier, noting an indus
trial decline, tells US that the eff
cheney of workers would be increased
by inducing them to sing while en-
gagged at their tasks. Il tried it in
the Pyrenees, where we have built
roads and bridges. The result is
simply amazing says the financier.
Might try it, anyway. Some of
us take life too seriously. No harm

appendicitis simultaneously.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. S.-Con-
gresham Culiop. of the Second Indi-
ana district. has made himself solid
with the horde of office-hungry Demo-
Gratis in Indiana by his action at Wash
ington the other day in undertaking
to force the President to hand out the
jobs to the boys who have done the
work In the trenches. Cu1lop, it will
be remembered. prepared a resolution
which he proposed to introduce in Con-
gress asking the President to turn Re-
publicans out of office and I'LL the
places with Democrats. He took the
position that since the Democratic
party was successful at the election
last fall and now nave full control of
the Government 1t was not fair to
Democrats and those who voted with
them at the election to keep Republi-
cans in Office. He said that people
who voted the Democratic ticket
wanted the offices filled by Democrats
and not by Republicans. He said. too.
that the Democratic workers had
worked hard for these jobs and that
they ought to have them.
A caucus OF Democratic members OF
Congress was called to consider Gull
Tops proposition before he could in
troduce 1t. and in that caucus Cullop
went further and told some of the
weak kneed. sway-backed Democratic
members that they had not enough
nerve to go after things or to speak
out in meeting and tell what they
thought of things. He said he was not
afraid, and that he intended to speak
out.
The result that a conference
was arranged between the President
and Cullop. but etse result has not been
announced. At any rate, the Cullop
resolution has not been introduced
Ever since Cullop made that talk
he has been hero among the Indiana
Democratic workers They say he hit
the nail on the head and that he took
the right position. They say they
want the jobs. and that the President
should not daily along any further.
There are several good jobs at stake
in Indiana
THAT kind of talk just suits me-,
said one well known Democrat in
speaking of Cullop's position. II am

giving the Democratic workers a
chance at the places. That's what they
worked for. Whoever heard of Re-

CAMPAIGN PERSONALITIES.

What applies in Lafayette in re-
gard to the municipal campaign has
an application in every Lake county
city where the political campaigns
SO far have been more clearly con-
Quoted than ever. The Lafayette
Journal says:
We conclude by the comments of
Fort Wayne and South Bend news
papers that the city campaigns in
those cities are in full blast Here
in Lafayette it sometimes is said
during a municipal campaign that
the newspapers get personal but La
fayette's newspapers are mild in
comparison with those of South
Bend and Fort Wayne. 1t is only
the first of August and those promi-
nent in the political affairs of the
two cities named are being called
everything they can be called with
out violating the libel law. 1t
strikes us that the people of Lafay-
cite have been wise to postpone ac-
Invites until fall. Sixty days is
sufficient for a city campaign. And
when the fight does open we hope
there may be an absence of petty
personalities which have little to do
with the real issues. 1t is right and
roper that fitness, qualifications and
records should be discussed. But
calling a man a pickpocket without
proving it doesn't contribute to in
telligent action on the part OF the
People
