The assassin Of the king is an evil
looking fellow, about 40 years old. He
refused to explain his motive for the

asked him whether he had no pity for

presses Desire to Enter the
Consular Service.

Washington.-The seeming delay In
the appointment OF Ex-Gor. Benton Me
Millin to a prominent place either in the
ambassadorial or the diplomatic service
should not be gloomily construed BY his
Tennessee friends and well-wishers, It
was stated week ago that 10 more APP
p0intments not deemed necessary by
some exigency would be made until Con.
gress conyenss in extraordinary session
in April, The fact that Secretary cf
State Bryan made arrangements several
weeks ago to return to Nebraska for a
stay OF about 10 days probably had
something to do With the announcement
relative to future important executive
appointments.
The friends OIL Gov McAIiIlin, who are
actively interested III his success either
as ambassador or minister are agreed
that he viii receive conspicuous honor at
the hands Of the administration, The
distinguished Temessean not only has
the cordial support Of Secretary Bryan,
but other cabinet officers have assured
him Of their abiding interest.
May Not Go to Mexico
That Gov. McMillin, however, viii be
commissioned as ambassador to Mexico,
the post to which he originally aspired,
is by no means assured. The diturDed
state OF affairs in our neighboring re-
public admonshes this administration to
the exercise Of extreme caution and wis.
dom in the selection OF an american rep
resentatiye at Mexico City, aud 1t may
be that the State Department, for rea-
sons not in the least uncomplimenary to
Gov. McMillin will pick some man ex-
perienced in diplomacy for that compli-
Gated mission. In that event, the Ten
nessean will in all probability be sent
to country free from menaeing storm

A young Memphian, Monroe William

the consular service, and his claim to
the consideration Of the president in
wolves an appealing sentiment. The de-

STARTS
WITH A STORM
ALABAMA LEADS DEATH LIST
WITH ABOUT 40 VICTIMS.
TWO TOWNS ARE WIPED OUT
Sixteen Reported Dead in Mississippi,
Three in Middle Tennessee in Same
District Hit by Tornado Last
Week--Much Damage Done.
(CopyrIghtl


Memphis More than Is persons are
reported killed and hundreds were iniur-
ed, some mortally, by a storm Of tor
nado intensity which ragged over central,
western, southern and parts of eastern
states as spring was supposed to be
ushered in.
Definite adyices have been received ac-
counting for at least 70 persons dead
with reports from points temporarily
cut off from wire communication by the
storm adding hourly TO the list.
Reports from Alabama show the loss
of life was heaviest in that state, the
number of dead there being already def-
nitely placed at 49, with additional ia
talities reported, but not confirmed.
Lower Peachtree was practically wiped
out Two dead in Indiana, three in Ten
nessee, three in Ohio, two in New York,
one in Michigan, two in Louisiana, seven
in Mississippi and one in Texas,
Accompanying the death lists are esti-
mates Of the injured totalng more than
200. Coming up out Of the southwest
early Friday morning, the storm swept
with startling suddenuess diagonally
across the country from Northern Texas
to Western Pennsylvania and New York,
blseeting the Mississippi valley and NOV
ing northeastward across the Ohio in
the Great Lakes region.
Shifting winds of great violence ac-
companied in various sections by snow
sleet and hail characterized the storm
easily the most destructive Of the year
and rarely equaled in the extent of its
sweep and damage. Buildings topplej
before the blow in nearly dozen states
and death lay all along in its wake.
Estimates Of property damage from
Indiana and Michigan alone aggregate
81, 600, 900 about evenly divided between
the two states. Early reports Of losses
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 or more
from sections of the storm region indi,
Gated that the total would reach large
figures
Almost the same section was visited in
Middle Tennessee which suffered from
the series Of tornadoes Of last Thursday
night three people being reported dead
in that section.
In West Tennessee the upper tier OF
counties suffered heavy property loss,
where last week the lower ones were
visited
From all over North Mississippi come
reports Of heavy damage to standing
timber, churches, dwellings and other
buildings. Loss of life is reported from
this state and includes one white woman
and child killed at Rienzi Miss, and
seven negroes at Macon, Miss, two at
Sails.
In Arkansas the worst damage was at
Hoxie. No lives were lost, but much
property destroyed.
Deaths are also reported at widely
scattered points in Indiana, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Texas, Louisiana aud Missouri.

Lane inspires Confidence.

The department of the interior is
today place of specialization. Frank
lin X. Lane, like some of the other
members OF Mr.. Wilson's cabinet, is
an idealist, but he has done enough
work. it is said, to show that he
spends little time in dreaming. The
federal conservationists, including
even Clifford Pinchot, say that they
have every confidence in Secretary
Lane" The conservationists of this
school have looked into Mr. Lanes
work record and speech record. They
know that he is a believer in the
states rights theory, but that he
knows when condition rather than
a theory confronts him. Not long
ago | heard Mr.. Lane make speech.
That speech never was reported and
never win be, but it was the most
sanely and yet actively progressive
speech that have ever heard any
man save one make.
There is to be no attempt here to
60 through the cabinet with view to
setting forth the likely humanity en-
deavors of the members, but the
charge that It is purely idealistic
cabinet seems so wholly unwarranted
BY the apparent facts in the case that
the existence of any impression that
il Is such Is a matter Of Washington
wonderment. There seems to be a
general feeling among men of all par
ties In the capital that the Wilson ad-
ministration starts we'll and that
where Wilson sits, there is the head
Of the table. and there it viii contln-
ue to be.

HIS JUDGMENT FINAL AFTER
HEARING THE OPINIONS or
THE CABINET.
CoUNsELS OFTEN WITH BRYAN
Or. Houston and Franklin K. Lane
Inspire Confidence in Their Ability
TO Conduct Their Departments
sanely and Successfully.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-There seems to be ey-
cry desire on the part of Republicans,
Progressives and Democrats to give
the new president the best Of it when
ever there is any seeming reason for
doubt as to the wisdom of his inten-
tons One thing members Of congress
are admitting today without any reser-
walton and that is that Mr. Wilson is
the chief man in his cabinet, and
that while he seeks and accepts adj
vice, his own judgment when formed
is made to be final.
There are some things which occur
at the presidents council table which
are not kept as solemn secrets. Mr.
Wilson seems to "hit It of" with the
members of his official family, They
say that he is modest with his opin-
ions, that he listens readily and urges
speech in order that he may listen,
and then then, weighing the fors and
the agalnsts, he gives his own iudg-
ment in way which makes his table
companions know that it is to stand.
Ordinarily cabinet officials do not
talk freely about the man who sits at
the head Of the table. 1t may be that
some of the present members OF the
advisory board have been moved to
speech by sheer force Of surprise. It
would be ungrateful to say that the
cabinet members did not expect to find
in Mr.. Wilson the qualities which they
have found in him. 1t Is the truth that
most of them did not know him well
and naturally, they say, they had no
realization of the forces which lay
within him and which now they say
they have found.
1t has been rumored about Washing
ton for two or three days that Mr..
Bryan was going to take unto himself
authority In matters not within the
scope of the state department. Mr..
Bryan's friends say these rumors are
llbels, that he intends to advise when
his advice is asked, and otherwise to
stick strictly to the duties of state. Mr..
Wilson is counselling with Mr., Bryan
oftener than he Is counselling individ-
ually with other members of his cab.
met, but this everybody accepts as the
most natural thing possible, for the
president and the secretary have many
policies In common and it is these
policies which the administration must
work out to their logical legislative
conclusion.

Houston Flts HIs Position.

1t is not hard now for officials in
Washington to understand why it was
that Mr.. Wilson chose such man as
DR.. Houston for his secretary of agri-
culture, overlooking other men in pub
lie life, and who had the farmer
claim" to, the position. Most things
today In the department of agriculture
are specialized A man may have
been a farmer all his life. know all
about crops, stock and other things
rural, and yet find himself utterly lost
in the lanes of governmental actiyi-
ties in the department of agriculture.
There were two or three men men
toned for the position and all OF
them were better known to the coun-
try generally than was the man who
finally was called Every one OF those
suggested as likely Of choice was
known as a farmer. 1t is not likely,
the Democrats say, that any one of.
them could have taken up with thor
ough understanding the reports OF the
bureau Of plant industry, of the bio
logical survey, of the forestry bureau,
the bureau OF soils, or the bureau of
chemistry and have read them under
standingly, and with knowledge
enough to make judicious comment
thereon and suggestions for improve
ment. The secretary Of agriculture
today has to be a specialist as well
as a farmer.

FOUL MURDER AT kINGSTREE.
Two White Men Held for Killing OF
Highly Respected Old Negro.

Kingstree. July 31.-One of the
most outrageous and unprovoked
murders that has occurred in this
county for some time past has just
been brought to light here. On Sat-
urday night of July y, while quiet
ly sitting in his cabin home meditat-
ing as the shades of evening thick
ened about him, old Billie Moore, ex-
slave, thoroughly reliable and one Of
the most highly respected old ne
groes of the community, was shot
and mortally wounded, having died
from the wound on Thursday last.
The shot that caused the old negro's
death was fired through window Of
his cabin by some one passing his
house. Suspicion fell upon two young
white men, Tom and Larry Posten,
of the Cades neighborhood, who were
arrested and held in jail here until an
inquest. This inquest was completed
to-day and the coroner said that the
evidence against the two white men
was so strong that he has ordered
them committed to jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
