storm broke. its street car service was
completely suspended and its citizens

storm had exacted.
Steamboats, Sunk
Two steamboats, had gone down in
the Ohio river. one having hit q
bridge pier. while the other was over
turned by the terrific force OF the
gale: probably hundred houses were
leveled to the ground: a half dozen
lofty church spires were toppled and
when the full extent Of the damage
was ascertained late today 1t was
found that few houses had escaped
some damage.
Scenes Of Havoc
The streets of the downtown dis
trict were strewn with electric signs
and plate glass windows. while in the
residence section and in the suburbs
even wagon and automobile traffic
was made impossible by hundreds up
on hundreds of trees uprooted and
thrown across the thoroughfares.
Probably so cloubouses along the Ohio
river were swept into the stream and
f1oated away.

ENGLL And REQUESTS DEFINITION
OF IS. VIEWS ON RECRUITING OF
Ef!CLiSHmEN IN AMERICA TO
FIGHT AGAINST AUSTRO- GERMANS

Is unjustly discriminatory to interfere
with the transportation of volunteers
who are not actually enlisted on Ameri-
can soil when no objection has been
made to notifications by consuls to re-
servists of other countries in the United
States. In this connection emphasis is
laid upon the fact that Great Britain has
no reGervists in the same sense as Ger
many France, Italy and otner continen-
tai powers.
Enlistment Prohibited
Officials of the department Of justice
explained today that they have had no
understanding with the state department
in regard TO recruiting. They pointed
out, however, that the criminal code
plainly prohibits the enlistment of ANY
person" in the United States to fight
against the people of a friendly nation.
The efforts of the department. it was de-
clared, have not in any instance been
directed against volunteers returning to
their own country 10 fight, but against
organized efforts to induce such return.
A luIl in the neutrality campaign OF
the department of justice is expected to
follow todays developments-the return
of indictments in San Francisco in con-
nection with enlistments for the British
army and the delivering of supplies to
German warships and the indictments in
Chicago against the Monteaegrin otncials.
Department agents are said TO be watch
ing developments in New York that may
lead to further arrests in connection
with British enlistments.

OPPOSE ANY ATTEMPT
TO EXTRADITE HUERTA

Washington, July S.-Notice that any
attempt to extradite Gen. Victoriano
Huerta to Mexico would be opposed has
been given by the state department to
Gov. Ferguson of Texas and Villa and
CarranZa leaders.
Governor Ferguson recently referred to
the department formal application from
the Villa governor of Chihuahua for the
extradtion of Huerta on various crimi-
nal charges.
ItSbecame known tonight that the de-
partment takes the position that there is
no government in Mexico and no assur-
ance that Huerta would be given a fair
trial Also the United States is determin-
ed the general shall not go back into
Mexico to forward revolutionary
scheme.

Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. in
the American Machinist of May 6 on
poisoned shells, pointing out that such

facture of poisonous shells did not
manufacture explosives of any kind,
but merely made machines capable Of

intentional Violation Of neutrality was
inv olved, and that the confusion was
the result of unfortunate wording OF
the advertisement.
