One hundred persons are estimated
to have been killed, several hundred
seriously injured and property loss
amounting to hundreds Of thousands
of dollars sustained as the result Of
a tornado which swept across the
best residence section of Omaha, Ne
braska, shortly after sundown last
evening.
Omaha apparently was the center
Of q. great storm movement which
formed in yne 'Aiddis west, Causing
loss Of life in half a dozen other
places from small town in Missouri,
to Council Bluffs, Iowa, Terre Haute,
Indiana, and Chicago. The storm
struck Chicago this morning and by
noon every police ambulance and fire
apparatus was employed in rescue
work and in removing debris caused
by the collapse Of tenement dwell.
ngs. Only one person was reported
killed in Chicago, nine in Council
Bluffs and twenty-four at Terre Haute.
The tornado which swept over Oma-
ha struck shortly after six o'clock
last night and pIowed pathway four
to six blocks in width through the
most popuious residence district Of
the city. The path Of the storm was
at least eight miles long and it was
marked with maze Of building de-
bris, tangled telephone, telegraph and
electric wires.
The storm was by far the most ap-
patling catastrophe that ever has Wis
tied Omaha.
Mayor DahIman asked the governor
for state troops and today both ma
ttonai guardsmen and soldiers from
Fort Cook are guarding the ruins to
prevent Iootins.
Through the stricken districts the
streets are filled with masses Of de-.
bris from wrecked houses and uproot-
ed trees and tangled electric wires,
making street car service impossible,
wagon and automobile travel almost
so, and offering serious obstacles to
pedestrians.
The list Of known dead, although
already long one, is believed by
those who have been over good part
Of the devastated territory to be but
beginning.
PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL
REACH IMMENSE SUMS. |
Lincoln, Neb., March 24.-Property |
damage at Omaha will mount up to
the hundreds of thousands of dol |
lars.
The tornado swept in from the
and zigzagged to the north
cast over the residence portion of the
city, leaving in it's wake destruction !
and carnage from two to four blocks
vide. Fire sprung UP all over this
Urea and added 10 the horror Of the |
disaster. Firemen were unable to re-
spond to the numerous alarms and !
many houses were allowed to burn to
The ground.
The police were unable to properly
protect the stricken district and the
soldiers from Fort Omaha were cal
led out. The tornado zone soon was
under martial law.
The villages of Benson, Dundee and
Florence, suburbs of Omaha. were
rractically wiped out. Only the fact
hat heavy rain fell for half an hour
after the tornado saved the mass OF
areckage and many dead bodies from
being burned.
The Webster street telephone sta
ion which contained score or more
If girls, was one of tie buildings
struck by the storm, and in moment

he girls were killed and many others
,ere injured.

OF religion" RAPED
Speaker Before Secular League OBJ
jeets to Tax Exemption Of
Church Property.
OBJECTS TO WILSON'S SURVEY

Advocacy OF universal suffrage and
local self-government for the District
was made by william ID. Mackenzie be-
fcre the Washington Secular League at
Pythlan Temple yesterday afternoon in
an address on "a Free City at the Ma
tons Capital"
He contended that local self-govern-
ment was the only thing which would
correct the grave abuses and misgoy-
ernment," which, he declared. accom-
pany the present form of government.
The speaker declared that both District
Commissioners Siddons and Newman
were in favor of local self-government.
The speaker was In favor of universal
suffrage for both men and women, quail
fed with an educational test
He referred TO the great amount OF
church and religious property exempt
from taxation in the District, and de-
clared that this amounted to State sup
port of religion. as far as il goes. He
held that rule by the people would COR
rect this, as well as other evils, and
made the declaration that even a ma
jority OF church members would vote
against the further exemption OF church
property from taxation. II was stated
that the Baptist and other denominations
had declared in favor OF the taxation OF
church property.
Among those who warmly supported tho
idea of local self-government for the
District were Z. W. Oyster and DIR.
Thomas Z. VIII. The latter spoke against
the proposed plan for making the Dis
trict government more efficient by means
Of a social survey. He said that a more
benevolent despotism" than the present
would be used to defeat the idea Of popu-
lar rule.
Others who spoke were Prof. Hyland
C. Kirk. Samuel Saloman. w. c. Arnett,
Capt II. r. Boynton, DR.. J. ]. Shirley.
Mrs. Reed, and Mr.. George A. Warren.

Fling AT SUFFRAGISTS
President Of ANTS Says Threat 10 Boy
eott Congressmen Is a Manifssta-
tion Of Militaney.
AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND

Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, Of New YORK.
president of the National Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage, came out last
night with an attack upon Dr. Howard
shaw, the head OF the suffrage movement
in America, because OF DIR. Shaws re-
cent threat TO boycott Congressmen anu
other representatives OF the people VINO
refuse to pledge themselves TO WORK lor
woman suffrage.
''Evldently, the suffrage idea OF poiities
is merely TO deal widely In boycotting'
says Mrs. Dodge's statement. The threat
voiced BY Dr. shaw that she and her ioi-
lowers will 20 into the districts OF con-
gressmen who are not In favor OF votes
for women and work 10 defeat them Tor
reelection should be given careful con-
sideration By every patriotic American.
II has been tried In the State Of New
York, OF course unslecessfully. but this
Is the first time that II hasebeen an
nounced by the suffragists as national
policy.
.'The statement Is alarming. not be-
cause the suffragists are able to carry
out such a threat. but because IL marks
the first outward manifestation OF mill
fancy In the United States The suf-
fragists, through their leader, admit that
StaleGlndnSnlpi QuAinCdlion 70 uOiu OuiCSs
and Intelligent labor In the legislative
branch of the government count for moth
ing in their estimation when a represen-
tative Of the people refuses TO heed the
clamor of a group, who. according to
their own statements. represent less than
10 per cent Of the women of the country.
and who have as their sympathizers con-
siderably less than / per cent Of the
men.
obviously. the suffragists are not ac-
tuated by any desire for the public good
or by any broad view OF statesmanship
on public questions Disregarding any
question OF fitness for ONCE they prefer
to have in State and national legislatures
their own creatures. 30 long as these
creatures. regardless OF anything else,
follow the hysterical and unreasonable
demands Of sufragism.
This is militancy which cannot be con-
cealed. The threat to take able states
men out OF office because they will not
accede to the demands OF 10 per cent of
the women OF this country differs very
slightly, II at all. from the equally crude
procedure OF breaking windows and de-
stroying the mails"
