TORNADO DESTROYS OVER
THREE HUNDRED HOMES

Terre Haute and Vigo county late
last night had been identified today
and more than rs injured were be-
ing cared for in improvised hos
pitfalls.
Several more bodies are expected
to be found when the ruins of 200
homes, leveled by the storm, have
been cleared away.
Telephone messages from Prairie
ton, nine miles south, state that
nearly every house in the town had
been destroyed and that many
homes between here and that place
had been leveled.
Torrential rains accompanied the
tornado and probably saved many
persons pinned in the wreckage from
burning to death.

Indiana tonight is in the grip Of a
food which treatens to surpass even
the high waters of 1888. The over
flow coming with astonishing sud
denness, caught farmers throughout
the state unprepared, and the break
ing of levees in other places has
forced persons living along the riv-
ers to desert their homes. The White,

and Sugar and Wildcat creeks are
out of their banks, with every
streamlet in the state adding to the

be thousands of dollars, while the
buildings destroyed will amount to
nearly as much.

YOUTHS PREPARE
TO THWART WOMEN
Mob Was i'm Angry Mood Following
Turning of Lady Whites Fine
Country Home.

4 London, March 23.-A great
erowd of youths, armed with var
ious kinds of missiles, tin whistles,
mouth organs and bells, gathered at
Hyde partk today, prepared to re-
peat the rowdy scenes of last Sun
day should the suffragettes attempt
to hold their regular Sunday meet
ing.
The women, however, wisely re-
Trained, but the crowds out for trou-
BILE in any event spent the afternoon
In harassing men who declared
themselves to be sympathi1ers with
the suffragettes.
The police had been advised that
the meeting would be held and a
strong force patrolled the park and
adjoining streets. The crowd finally
became weary and dispersed. An of
fficer, who has had long experience
in handling mobs. said that it was
good thing the women did not ap-
pear, as the men were in angry mood
because of the burning of the fine
country residence of Lady Amy
sWhite, widow of NField Marshall Sir
EEeorge White, the, hero of Lady
smith. s..
Although Lady Whites house for
tunately was empty this act of in
cendiarism has caused more bitter
feeling against the militant suffra-
gettes than any previous crime.
Windsor castle, where the court
has gone into residence, is being
closely guarded and special precau-
tions have been taken to prevent
women from making any demonstra-
tions or committing any outrages.
A special staff of detectives has
been sent to Windsor and the north
terrace of the castle, which has al
ways heretofore been open to the
public, has been closed. Hampton

cepted, Effective July 81.

Washington, March 23.-Winis
l.. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau, resigned yesterday. Secre-
tary Houston accepted the resigna-

Wilson, to become effective July 81.
Professor Moore-a Democrat-was
a candidate for appointment as Sec
retary of Agriculture.
Secretary Houston explained that
the Office of chief of the weather
bureau is a presidential appoint
ment.
I'VE have no one in mind now,"
said the secretary, "but will try to
get the best man we can of scientific
ability and administrative talent. >"
When President Wilson came in
to office and officials of the depart
ment of agriculture holding presi-
dental appointments handed in
their designations, Professor Moore
was not among them. Previously,
however, petitions had been circu-
lated urging upon President Wilson
the selection of Professor Moore to
be secretary of agriculture. Since
Secretary Houston was appointed,
the White House has. received large
quantities of letters and kilograms
urging that Professor Moore be re-
tanned in Office as chief of the
