ONE KILLED, MANY HURT
BY CYCLONE IN ALABAMA

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 1s.--One
person was killed and half a score in
jured in northern Alabama by the cy-
clone which passed through middle Ten
nessee early last night, according to re-
ports received here today. Tom Red
dick, Of Huntsville, Ala, was killed out
right when his home was demolished.
while Robert Reed and five other per-
sons were seriously injured at Mays
VILE, Ala. Communication with many
small villages is cut off and when it is
restored it is expected that the list of
fatalities will be increased.

CHICAGO, Jan. bah deliveries Of wheat
rose today TO the highest prices on the 1913
crop. Chances Of severe damage by the cold
wave in the winter wheat belt formed the chief
cause OF the advance, which was also influ-
enced By cattle dispatches that British import
req uirements would be larger than expected
and that the amount OF wheat on ocean passage
was likely to show q decided falling off,
There were also bullish estimates current as OF
the quantity Of what was stil remaining on
farms IN the United States. After opening
e 20 1hc higher, the market scored additional
gains before beginning 10 react. First prices
for May were S1-2S& to $1.2s and for July
s1-22 10 Sl.22A.
Assertions that English buyers refused to fol-
low the advance led Rfterward to setbacks in
wheat The close was unsettled. A9% to
Adac net higher with May at $1.2Sh @12SS,
and July at S-.21& Q121A.
Corn sympGthized with wheat. Drought In
Argentina counted. too. against the bears.
Opening prices which ranged from Adh to
"a nc higher. were followed by slight SAG.
Bad weather cutting down receipts tended
later to uphold corn prices. The close was nerv-

lied her daughter Amelia, two years
old, across her shoulder The child
was eating a stick of candy and gen.

two coyotes.
One of the coyotes snapped so Gag

oft Amelia's hand with it. The cries
of the child excited the beasts, and
the bowling could be heard far away.
All persons were ordered away from

Jackson, Miss, July 7.-According
to Uncle Sans latest figures on the
subject. Mississippi has available for
military duty 354.l33 citizens.
This means the total number OF
males between Is and as years of age.
All of these persons, however, are not
available because of physical disquali-
Ifications. The figures include negroes
and whites.
Including those rejected up to this
time, about 1920 persons have offered
for enlistment in the First Regiment
at Camp Swep Taylor. There are now
in process of organization in the vari
Gus cities and towns military units to
falling more than 1000.
In brief, about one per cent of the
available military strength in Missis
sippi has offered for service, which
is tolerably good showing in view OF
the fact that there has been no decla
ration of war. and present prospects
are that there will be no declaration.

about 50 cents annually for each car.
In Texas and South Carolina no an
nual registration fees are collected.
the only requirement being a county
fee of so cents and 81. respectively,
for perennial registration Most of
the states, however, also levy annual
taxes on motor vehicles and this adds
Importantly TO the public revenue con-
tributed by the owners of motor-pro-
PEELED vehicles.
In the use of fees, however. there
seems to be a general policy of an.
plying the major part of the money
collected from autOmobilists directly
to road betterment. In AZ of the
states of the Union all or the major
portion of the motor vehicle revenue
must be expended for the construc
ton, improvement, or maintenance OF
the public roads, or for the mainte
nance of the state highway depart
ment. In 20 states, all of the major
portion of the net motor vehicle reve
nues are expended by or under the
supervision or direction of the state
highway department In seven states
One-nalf to One-fOurth of the state mo-
tor vehicle revenues are expended
through the state highway depart
ment, and the remainder by the local
authorities. Many states, in addition
to applying license fees TO road con
Istruction eXpend for this purpose a
large part of the fines and penalties
collected from owners.
In the number of registrations New
York state led in 1915 with 255,242:
Illinois was second with 180,832: Cali
fornia third with 163,797; and Penn.
,sylvania fourth with 160,137. In gross
revenues received from this source
however, California led with $2,O27..
1872; New York was second with ST..

$16,OOO,OOO III Auto Fees
Spent For Road Building
100000 VEHICLES,
OF RURAL ROAD REGisT D-FoRTY-TWo STATES ExPEND
THE MAJOR PORTION OF MOT VEHICLE REVENUES


Washington, July 6.-Ninety per
cent of the registration and license
fees paid in 1915 by automobilists to
the states, or $16,213,387, was spent
for the building and maintenance of
county and state roads, according to
a compilation just published by the
Office of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture In all,
2,445,66 motor vehicles were regis
tered in that year and their owners
paid a total of $l8,245,713 for registra-
lions and drivers and dealers H.
|censes. This is an increase of $685.
$50 over 1914, and an increase of
734,325 in the number of vehicles reg
istered. Automobile fees now defray
nearly per cent of the total amount
Ispent on rural road and bridge build
ing, whereas in 1906 the income from
this source was less than three-tenths
Iof l per cent of the total expenditure
The growth of the volume of fees
and registrations is noted by the fact
that in 1901 New York, the first state
to require fees. collected only 1854
In 1906 only $4,000 cars were regis.
tered throughout the entire United
States. By 1915, however, the mum
Der had jumped to the figure given,
SO that there is slightly more than
one motor car registered for each of
the 2,375,000 miles of road outside of
the incorporated towns and cities.
The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec
ItiOns. There is only one motor car
for every six miles of rural road in
Nevada, but nearly six motor cars for
every mile of such road in New Jer-
.sey. There is an average of one mo-
tor car registration Tor every "A per-
sons in the United States Iowa APP
parently leads, however, with one mo-
cor car for every 16 persons, while
only one for every 200 persons is reg
istered for Alabama.
1t must be understood, however, that
the figures of registration do not nee
|essarily represent total number of
cars, as some of the states do not re-
quire annual registration, others group
pleasure and commercial cars and
motorcycles in their accounts, while
still other states do not require regis
tration of motorcycles.
There is great inequality in the reg
istration fees charged by the different
states. The average for the United
States was $7.46. The state of Yer
mont, however, secured in 1915 a
gross revenue of $3.50 for each motor
car, while Minnesota received only
