Be ONE HUNDRED

Fatalities.
PROPERTY DAMAGE HEAVY
Aggregate Loss in the Twenty States
Affected Estimated at Five Million
DoIIars-Alabama and Tennessee
Lead in Number Of Killed.

Chicago, March 24-The toll OF
dead in the storm that swept twenty
states OF the South and Middle West
probably will reach 100 Six hundred
were injured and property loss aggre-
eating at least $5,OOOOOO was done.
Partially restored communication
in the South brought details of wide
spread destruction. The wire damage
has been so great that 1t probably
will be several days before the exact
number Of dead is known. Trains
crept into Chicago from the North
west several hours behind schedule.
Telegraph and telephone companies
declared that the loss would be the
most severe they have suffered for
several years, when ii is coupled with
the enormous damage done by bliz-
yards and the foods last week
Reports that came over crippled
wires from Alabama indicated that
at least thirty persons were killed in
that state. The town of Peachtree
was demolished by the storm and
twenty-eight lives were lost. Thomas
vile and Fulton. Ala, in the path of
the storm, are cut of from communi-
cation. II is reported in neighboring
towns that both these villages had
been destroyed and that the number
of dead would exceed dozen.
In Tennessee the wires are still
down, but twenty deaths were re-
ported. Five persons were killed at
Macon, Miss. A messenger brought
word from Poplar Bluff, Mo. that FIVE
persons were killed and half hun
dred injured by the tornado.

Vienna, March 24.-Beyond promis-
ing that the future bombardment Of
Scutari will be directed against the
Notifications and not against the town,
Montenegro's reply to Austria's re-
monstrances is a refusal to comply
with the Austrian demands. The note
declares that for military reasons
Montenegro must refuse to permit
civilians to leave Scutari, and that
she cannot allow the Austro-Hunga-
rian consul in Scutari to take part in
the inquiry into the death of the
priest, Pale, or the alleged coercive
conversion OF Catholics, declaring that
such an investigation by a foreign Of
ficisl would be incompatible with the
sovereign rights Of the king of Monte
negro.
Finally, the reply contains some eva.
sive remarks concerning the alleged
molestation of the Austrian steamer
Skodra at San Giovanni de Medus
Austria demanded the punishment OF
the military and civil officials respon.
sible for ordering Captain Blasich to
assist in landing Servian troops and
war munitions and to help rescue
drowning men from transports which
the Turkish cruiser Hamiedeh had
sunk
The Austrian government now will
send more energetic note to Monte
negro, repeating the demands already
made within definite period Should
the reply to this note be deemed mad.
eQuate an ultimatum will then be is
sued.

Some Very Interesting Facts About the Ford

AT a meeting Of the Adcraft club il
Detroit, Mich, last week, N. A Haw
kins, general sales manager of the
Ford Motor Co., gave an interesting
talk on what it means to manufacture
200, 600 complete motor cars in twelye
months. His story, bristling with
figures, was full of the romance OF
business. Ten years agt the company
was capitalized at $2S, 900 and did an
annual business of 500. 600. Today
1T is the largest motor car factory in
the world; has capitalization of $50,
600 GOO and sells annually $500, 600,
600 worth of cars in all the world.
The January sales of Ford cars, y
said Mr.. Hawkins, "were nearly SO,
900, 600 for the month or more than
twice the gross receipts of the Grand
Trunk railway system for the same
month. In the last four months we
did a business of nearly $50, 600, O0C
and two of these four months were not
real good ones. He further stated
The Ford is an organization of young
men, rot an executive head has beer

business in more than six years, during
which time the output of cars anc
