Mother Saves Her Children
by PUTTING Them in Icebox

The presence of mind of Mrs. ANNA
Passis probably saved her three small chill
dren and her infant nephew from death
during the storm, when the house in
which they live was demolished. Only
the framework of the house, which stood
at the corner of 18th and Euclid streets,
now remains.
Mrs. Passis. when she felt the building
sway dangerously, put the children in a
strong ice box, and though boards and
plaster and glass fell on the box and
all about it, the children were entirely
unframed. Mrs Passis and her sister.
Mrs Singer of Philadelphia, were also
in the house when it collapsed, but es-
capped being hit by the falling structure.
During a lull in the storm the two
women took the children from their i'm
provised refuge and hurried them across
the street to another house. where they
remained until after the wind and rain
subsidized.

Charity Workers Prevent
Panic Among Mothers

Employees of the Associated Charities
prevented a panic among 10 mothers and
children bound for Camp Good Will dur
ing the storm. They had not yet started
from the headquarters of the organiza-
ton, 927 II street northwest and the ex-
ample of calmness and the counsel given
by the charity workers finally quoted the
frantic infants and their mothers. The
confusion started when the roof of the
building was blown off.
Similar scenes occurred at Neighbour
hood House and the house at 100 9TH
street southeast, nearly a hundred moth
ers and their children having gathered
there to prepare to go to the charity
camps outside of the city. When quiet
was restored and the fury of the storm
abated somewhat the frantic mothers
were allowed to take their infants and
children home

Tents Are Blown Down.

Later in the evening those who had
gathered in the southeast branch of the
Associated Charities, at 700 7th street
southeast. were taken to Camp Good VIII.
where. 1t was discovered, considerable
damage had been done by the rain and
wind. A number Of tents were blown to
the ground by the storm, but happily no
one was injured.
Camp Pleasant, the baby camp of the
organization, miraculously escaped any
injury from the storm.
The roof of the central Office of the
Associated Charities at 923 II street
northwest was rolled up into a ball and
landed in the middle of the street. There
was doWnpour Of water through the
whole building.

Pieces of Granite Blown
From Library Into Homes

Al the homes of Mrs. Miranda 3. Tul-
loch, 121 street southeast, and Miss Ida
F. Boiseau, 1T B street, pieces of granite
from the Congressional Library are held
as souvenirs of yesterdays storm. Light
ming struck near the cornice of the Ii
brary building. One piece Of granite went
through third-story window at the home
of Mrs. Tulloch, dropping in a room in
which Jack Tulloch, about ten years old,
and a colored domestic were seated. The
piece Of stone, about the size of brick,
shattered the glass and fell upon the
floor. The colored woman was much
frightened, but little Jack Tulloch faced
the danger with but little show of excite
ment. At the house of Miss Boiseau a
much smaller piece of stone was sent
through third-story window. There was
nobody in the room at the time.
Roofs Carried Away.
The entire roof, planking and rafters
from house on the north side of Park
road several doors west of Georgia ave-
nue. was blown off and was driven into
the front of frame residence on the
opposite side Of the street close to the
tenth precinct station house. Several
pipes connected with the plumbing Of
the house which projected through the
roof were carried along with it. The
roof of an adjoining house was carried
over the tops of the houses on the south
the rear yard of SO Morton street.
The roofs of two brick houses which
stand by themselves on hill west of
Georgia avenue north of Rock Creek
Church road were torn off and were car
red several hundred yards before they
fell to the earth.

A fence, fifteen feet tall. surrounding

A platform, on which the picture screen

they thought they could save time by re-

Team of Heavy Work Horses
Blown Into Potomac River

Two heavy work horses, the property
of the water department of the District
government. were carried bodily from the
speedway near the Highway bridge. and
dropped into the Potomac. The horses
landed in about six feet of water and
were able to keep their heads above the
surface by standing on the bottom OF the
river.
The crew Of the police boat Vigiiant
saved the animals. One man dived into
the water and cut the harness which re,
ropes were fastened about their bodies
They were then hauled to dry land un-
hurt.
At the corner of 7th street and Rhode
Island avenue northwest a horse belong
ing to Harry J. Jones, colored, was
drowned in a few feet Of water. The
gutter was blocked by leaves and
branches, and when the horse slipped and
fell his head went under water, and the
animal was unable to arise.
Killed by Flying Timbers.
A hundred foot section of the planking
and hand rail Of the Aqueduct bridge
was ripped up by the wind and carried
completely across to the opposite side Of
the river The flying timbers killed a
horse driven by Miss Elizabeth Taylor of
other wagon, driven by a colored man
whose name could not be learned, was
overturned by the wind. The driver was
not injured.
\ report went abroad last night that
the bridge had been destroyed and thou
sands of people gathered near it, making
it necessary to keep police guard on
duty all night.
At the several police stations last night
scores of horses We're cared for Temporal
rily and owners of the animals made anx-
ious inquiries about them. Drivers aban-
doned many teams during the progress of
the storm and the animals strayed from
one part of the city to another until they
finally got into the hands of the police.
Several Runaways Reported.
Several runaway horses were also found
and turned over to the police. Very little
damage was done by the runaways, the
police state, and not many horses were
hurt. In several instances in which vehi-
cles were overturned and the horses
thrown to the street, it is stated, the ami
mails remained perfectly quiet and the We
hicles were righted without having sus-
tanned much damage.
BY midnight all the stray horses had
been turned over to their owners. Red
lights were in great demand last night to
be placed upon distractions. The supply
of such lanterns in possession of the po-
lice was soon exhausted and many fallen
trees and other distractions had to re-
main unprotected
A falling tree on North Capitol street

driver was covered by the foliage. but he
sustained no injury. The horse also es-
capped injury.

While they were watching the rain
and lightning some playful prank OF
the storm king wrenched one OF the
seven stars from the crown of the God
dess of Freedom and tossed it to the
foot of the statue. To wrench it off
thick bolt was snapped as If 1t were a
match stem. Another heavy iron bolt
was knocked from somewhere high up
in the Capitol and was found today on
the balcony around the base of the
statue. Not only that, but several large

BIC BIRD MEN
 HAVE MEETING
Session of the Arizona Os- trich Breeders AssOcia- tion at San Marcos at Chandler Tonight for Transacting Business

The annual business meeting of the Arizona Ostrich Breeders association wilt De held al the San Marcos Hotel a Ch9rdicr this evening. This asso- citation is a much bigger thing than the name indicates. It includes the owners of the fifteen ostrich farms in the valley and also the ostrich breeders of Texas and California. It is in fact national organization.
 The business meeting will be preced- ed by a banquet which will be given by John c. Sangler. the president of the association and after the transac- tion of the regular business there will be addresses on the ostrich industry by pr. A. J. Chandler. w. $. Pickrell, J. M. Harmon. C. b. Young, C. B. Laird and others.
 It is not generally understood to what proportions the ostrich industry in the Salt River valley has attained. It may be said that there are more Ostriches within little more than a dozen miles of Phoenix than all the birds in the western hemisphere. Prob ably more than in the eastern hemi- sphere outside of the ostrich farms of South Africa. And in South Africa, experts from that country say, there are not so many III a SlnSle IdllCH dS may be found on the Pan American company's farm twelve miles west of the city.
 Ostrich breeding is one of the most important industries of the valley. It had grown so big, as long as three years ago that the governments cen sus report concerning it misled and surprised the folks of the rest of the country. The enumerators treated the Ostriches under the general head of poultry" and it appeared that the poultry of Maricopa county was valued at $1,45O. 900. Readers Of the report who happened to notice a foot note were enlightened but the rest re- ceived the impression that Maricopa was surprisingly rich in chickens, ducks and geese.
 Ii is expected that the treatment of the plumes will shortly become another industry of this valley and for that purpose model plant will be installed Hitherto the plumes have generally been sent to the east for cleaninp making into finished plumes. There are several plants in California which work principally on Arizona feathers and the impression is given out there that the feathers come from California farms

TWIN VICTORY
 FOR BOWLERS
Hanny Team Journeys to Mesa, Acquires TWo o Games and a Good Feed from Mesa City Bank Team That Lives There

Hanny's boWlers went down to Mesa, won two out of three games from the Mesa City bank and then devastated the eats provided by the home team to the extent of one restaurant-full. It happened in this wise.
 Manager Langowsky Of the Mesa team challenged the Phoenix team to a contest. Any sort of a contest you like. Hanny's assented and Langy named salad, celery. baked sweet and Irish spuds, squabs and liquid re- treatments as weapons. When the duel was over the Mesa City bank team was behind two squabs, one bunch of eel cry and a half plate of salad. Although the MeSaiteS were ahead six SpudS of the two sorts and ten cups of the liquid refreshment-title unknown to anyone but the partakers-but that didn't give them enough lead to win the match.
 The contest ended by three silent cheers, given vociferously by the Phoe- nicians for the Mesaites. But just be- fore the yelling came come other vocal sounds emitted by everyone in turn. At this. Judge w. L. Barnum, who ac- companied the Phoenicians easily won out by margin of over one hundred applicable Wtticisms, and was ac- claimed verbal victor by a unanimous vote. Denver Baker also accompanied the team. but was not entered for any thing but the feeds and drinks.
 Speaking of the occasion, c. w. Brown of the much abused middle ap- pellation said that it was the biggest time the bowlers have had yet, and that the entire credit is due to Man ager LangOwsky and the Mesa team. He made this assertion to counteract whatever quelling effects Langy's statement would make. The Mesa man wanted his name kept out of the paper so there would be room for a story of the game and the banquet.
 By abbreviating LangoWsky and leaving out the usual pronuncing direc- tions The Republican has managed to squeeze in a little narrative. as you see.
 The first game ended with the teams tied up tight. On the roll off, Hanny's won by four pegs.
