SEVEN MILLION
NEEDED; HAVE
BUT s1,300,000
to Satisfy
the Many Bills in Legis-
lature Nearly Six Times
the Amount Available.
[BY ORA WILLIAMS.]

Des Moines, March PA complete
diagram and explanation of the bien-
NAL budget puzzle was presented to
the 35th general assembly today. It
is the result Of the labors of Chair
man Mates and Chairman Larrabee,
the purse string holders of the legis-
lature, upon whose broad shoulders
rests responsibility to a large extent
next two years.
In appropriation matters, which
are little exploited in sensational
way but are most important, the SEN
ate naturally takes the lead. The
statement which the senator from
Sac placed in the records today for
the editication of the members,
shows the immensity of the problem.
Already the senate committee on
appropriations has recommended for
passage bills which foot up total OF
$576,705.67.
The total of money available. the
outside limit, is $1,300,000.
Bills in the hands Of the approprla-
tion committee, including those recon-
mended and those passed, show an ag-
gregate of $6,231,34O.9
Bills in the hands of other COM
mittees but carrying appropriations
and including those passed, show an
aggregate of $665,6O0.
These two items, of bills actually IN
the senate, not including at least half
million additional in house bills not in
the senate, show an aggregate of S.
869,94O.92. This is the first complete
and official statement of these ap-
propriations.
The real problem then is how to
stretch $1,500,000 available SO as to
satisfy demand for about $7,3O0,OOO.
The following are the bills which the
senate committee on appropriations
committee has already acted on
favorably: = -
Crist-Public utilities COM
mission bill ........... ..$l5O,0oO
Boe-Training teachers for
rural schools .... l&5,OO0
Sheean - Increased support
prison and reformatory $4,000
Pickford-State aid for con-
solidated schools ... $4,000
Larrabee-Deficit at various
state institutions .......... 39,5Oo

IN W00DB|NE
TORNADO WROUGHT LOSS OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY IN
NORTHERN IOWA.

Des Moines, March 24.--Western and
northern Iowa was badly storm swept
according to what meager reports fill
tered into Des Moines over broken
down telegraph and telephone lines,
Destructive storms are said to have
covered wide area but it is impos-
sible to get into communication with
any Of the towns lying anywhere near
the reported storm centers.
Six persons were killed, houses were
unroofed and many thousands OF dol
lars Of damage was done at Woodbine
by the storm which swept that section
Of the state, according to a report re-
ceived at Sioux City. 1t was also re-
ported that several persons were killed
at Craig, Nebr. AS there was only one
wire out of Sioux City after o'clock
last night it was impossible to ascertain
the loss of life in that section OF Iowa.
Reports from Sioux City were relayed
to Des Moines by way of Minneapolis.
Northern Iowa Hit.
The M. & st. l.. operator at Manly
OF the road last night that several
towns towns north of that place and
near the Minnesota line had been
''blown off the map" Before details Of
the storm could be obtained by the To-
cal operator the wire went down and
today it was still impossible to get any
news from Manly or the surrounding
towns.
Telegraph and telephone communica-
ton with western Iowa was cut off
early in the night. The telephone com
pany was hard hit, all wires leading
southwest, west and northwest being
out of commission The Postal and
Western Union Telegraph companies
suffered like fate, though communica
tion with eastern Iowa and Chicago

Lincoln, Neb, March 24.-One hun.
ldred persons were killed. twice as
many more were injured, some fatal
ily, by tornado which devasted
Omaha and it's environs early last
night. 1t demoralized telegraph and
telephone service and cut Omaha of
from communication with the outside
world.
Fire Follows In Storms Wake.
Property damage at Omaha will
mount up to the hundreds OF thou
sands. The tornado swept In from
the southwest and zigzagged to the
northeast over the residence portion
OF the city leaving in It's wake de-
struction and carnage from two to four
blocks wide. Fires sprang up all over
this area and added to the horror OF
the twister. Firemen were unable to
respond to the numerous alarms ana
many houses were allowed to Durn 10
the ground.
The police were unable to properly
police the stricken district and the
soldiers from Fort Omaha were called
out. The tornado zone soon was lln-
der martial law.
Villages Wiped Out.
The villages of Benson, Dundee and
Florence, suburbs of Omaha were prac-
tically wiped out Only the fact that
heavy rain fell for half an hour after
the tornado saved the mass of wreck
age and many dead bodies from being
burned.
The Webster street telephone sta
ton containing score or more girls
was one of the buildings struck by the
storm, and in a moment was twisted
and torn. Several of the girls were
killed outright and many others were
injured. s
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, wired
Gov. Morehead shortly after midnight
for several militia companies to pre-.
vent the residences and the dead
bodies from being looted. The COVER
nor left on special train for the scene
of the disaster shortly after 2 o'clock,
Omaha's suburbs suffered heavily
from the storm.
Whole Block Demolished.
Ralston, southwest Of Omaha, was
razed to the ground and half score
or more are dead. East Omaha, which
felt the tail of the twister, reported
houses demolished but no lives lost.
Council Bluffs, Iowa, suffered nine
dead. A score or more injured and
great damage to property. The worst
damage was done and the largest toll
of lives was exacted In the western
part Of Omaha and in the vicinity Of
Twenty-fourth and Lake streets and
from there northeast to Sixteenth and
Binney. This is the residence portion
and the destruction wrought was we'll
nigh appalling. Whole blocks OF homes
were picked up and dashed into a
shapeless mass. Street cars were
hurled from the track and demolished.
Picture Show Patrons Killed.
A moving picture show at Twenty
fourth and Lake was destroyed Ten
dead and eight injured have thus far
been removed from the ruins. About
fifty persons were in the theater at
the time of the disaster and 1t Is fear.
