WlNDSTORA CAUSES DAMAGE
In Sweep over Rossmoyne, Deer Park
and SiIverton-Trains Are Halted
and Crops Ruined.

Cincinnati, O.-Damage said to total
thousands of dollars was caused by the
hail and wind storm which swept over
northern parts of Cincinnati and out
lying villages. The storm apparently
bore down from the north or north
west. Rossmoyne, Deer Park and Sill
verton suffered worst, and Norwood,
Reading, Carthage, Elmwood Place
and Glendale received lighter effects.
Heavy hail and rain fell in Lockland
and Wyoming, but without the high
wind which was prevalent in Deer
Park and Silverton. So heavy was the
downpour at the latter place that ties
along the tracks of the Cincinnati,
Lebanon and Northern Railway were
washed away. The volume of water
was so great that the ordinary chan
nels were unable to carry it off, with
the result that at places tracks were
covered with water two feet deep.
Trains passing were made to decrease
their speed to less than 10 miles an
hour because it was impossible for
engineers to tell whether tracks were
still intact. Repairs were made with
out serious delays in traffic

REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS
At Seipo, Oklahoma-SherIH with
Posse of Deputies, Heavily Armed,
Has Gone There.

McAlester, Okla.-A reign of terror
exists in Seipo, Okla, and the sheriff
with a posse of deputies, heavily arm
ed, has gone there.
Without waiting for conclusion OF
the states campaign against organ
lied resistance to the selective draft
in Central Oklahoma, the United
States Government moved TO punish
the 200 men under arrest in connec-
ton with armed opposition to military
service. Warrants charging treason
were served on the prisoners, who
were taken to the penitentiary at NC
Alester or the Jail at Muskogee to
await trial, at which United States
District Attorney W. P McGinnis will
ask that the death penalty be imposed
Announcement that extreme punish
ment would be asked was expected to
aid materially in bringing to terms
the few resisters still sheltered in the
hills. Posses in three counties
Seminole, Hughes and Pottawatomie
reported that isolated groups re-
fused to surrender, but that they ap-
parently were discouraged and seek
ing to avoid encounter.

PUBLIC BURDEN
WILL Be SMALL
SAYS SIMMONS OF WAR TAX
MEAsuRE-BILL OF TWO Bill
LIONS is REPORTED.
Agreement Nav Not Be Reached Be-
fore FaII-Most of New Taxes
To Come From Incomes.

WashingtOn.-The war revenue Dill,
with a total~ of $2,C06,970,00O, as
against 81 1867 100000 suggested by the
House, was reported to the Senate
Even with the astounding total OF the
bill, the nation is warned by the FL
nance Committee to be prepared to
meet even greater war burdens. This
thought is not directly expressed in
the report upon the bill, but the docu-
ment abounds in such significant
phrases as money to purchase bonds
to be issued to meet such part of our
own expenditures" "such sums as we
may be called upon to loan to foreign
Governments engaged with us in war
against Germany" and future de-
mands for additional revenue"
1t is expected to begin debate on the
bill shortly. 1t may consume two
weeks in the Senate and perhaps as
much time in the House. After that
it will go to conference. 1t was said
it can not become law before Octo-
Der l. Senator I,aFollette, who be-
lieves practically the entire revenue
should be raised from income and ex-
cess profits taxes, will submit minor
ity report. Senators Thomas and
Gore also will have separate report
Most of the new axes proposed un-
der the revised bill for war expenses
of the present fiscal year would como
from incomes, war excess profits, llq-
uor and tobacco taxes. The revised
Senate bill strikes cut the retroactive
tax upon last years incomes, but prin-
cipally by increasing surtaxes on
wealth on persons and by doubling the
normal tax on corporations, proposes
to raise $77z,OO0,OO0, in addition to the
$3.50, 100000 now secured from in
comes 1t proposes levy of 1852, OOO,-
600 on war profits and extends the tax
to individuals in trade of business as
we'll as corporations.
The House tax yield on distilled
spirits of S1OO,OOO,O09 is raised to $780,
100000; that on beer from $37,50O,OOO
to $46,00O,0OO and that on wines from
$6,O0O,O0O to $21 100000. A prohibi-
tive tax on further manufacture or i'm
portation of distilled beverages also is
provided

STOP WHOLESALE POISONING
But For the keenness Of Army At
PENDANTS at Washington Barracks
Nation Would Be Appalled,.

Washington.-The Washington Her.
aid prints the following: But for the
keenness of army attendants at the
Washington barracks the nation would
seethe over one of the most calamitous
war atrocities ever committed in the
capital of a nation-the utter and prac-
tically simultaneous humiliation by
German secret agents of the First Reg
iment, Corps of Engineers, in which
command there are more than 1,20G
men, by the injection of man dose
poison into each of more than 5000
leaves of bread. Working under the
very shadow Of Americas capital, it
was revealed to a representative Of
the Herald from an unquestionably au-
thoritative source, that had not the
presence of deadly poison in the mann
moth 15,000-pound bread order been
found at the eleventh hour the sue
cessful conclusion of a dastardly, cum
ningly devised wholesale murder,
which would have even surpassed
those that occurred in Belgium, would
have been effected in this city, found
in the grim and ruthless clutch Of
plotting Huns. The poisoned bread
was incinerated in the big iron ovens
in which the ration had been baked,
every vestige of the bread being de-
stroyed, thus removing any danger OF
members of the regiment getting hold
of piece of the poisoned bread
through mistake. The big bread ra-
ton of 5000 loaves, weighing pound
and a half each, was destroyed by, or
ders of the commander of the corps
practically only on the eve of the de-
parture of the regiment. If these
scoundrels are caught said we'll
known army officer, this Government
should make an example of them by
placing them against wall before a
firing squad and shot into their dis
honored graves, an example to all
spies and conspirators against this
Government Samples of the poison
ed bread have been placed in the hands
of Government experts for analysis to
determine the nature of the poison
used"

GERMANY KNEW AUSTRlA'S
ULTIMATUM TO SERBIA
Fourteen Hours Before 1t Was Deliv-
cred, Washington Rears-Zimmer-
mann Makes Admission.

hingtOn.-Germany had posses
sion of Austria's ultimatum to Serbia
IA hours before it was delivered 70
Belgrade, according to positive lnfor-
nation which has reached officials
here and which was made public for
the first time. 1t was said former For
eign Secretary Zimmerman admitted
this himself when pressed very closely
as to Germany's foreknoWledge OF the
action of her ally which precipitated
the war. Germany has maintained
consistently in all her public docu-
ments that she was not consulted by
Austria as to the ultimatum which
practically denied Serbia's independ-
ence and that she did not even have
knowledge of the step.
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
admission, however, is interpreted
here to show that Germany had full
knowledge of the note in time to stop
action Oh it if she felt it essential
Her inaction, however, is felt to have
proved her an accomplice of Austria,
whom she had told already she would
support in any decision she might
make The admission was said here
to have been made when Zimmerman
was pressed closely as to Germany's
knowledge of the Austrian ultimatum.
For a considerable time, it was said,
he maintained Germany had known
nothing at all about it, but finally,
when certain information and facts
were presented, Zimmerman admit
ted Germany had had the text for IA
hours before it's delivery. This, he
seemed to think, was a purely negli-
gible time, which did not permit the
possibility of action.

eiaIistic Speeches.

made to lynch Frank Lamonte, an at
torney and candidate for mayor on the
Socialist ticket of Evansville, on a
country road near this city. Lamonte,

miles north of here. Six young men
from this city went to Elberfeld in an
automobile and they carried a rope,
and it is said it was their purpose to
lynch Lamonte. They gave chase to
his automobile, in which Lamonte, his
wife and baby and two friends were
fiding. They overlook the machine
and commanded Lamonte to get out.

opened the throttle of the car and made
good his escape, and the people took
refuge in a farmhouse, where they
spent the night, and the would-be
lynchers lost their prey.

TON OF UNITS is ORDERED
BY WAR DEPARTMENT.
To Conform With Those OF European
AIles-Machine-Gu Strength
Increased Greatly.

Washington reorganization OF
American army units, under which the
division totaling % GOO men, found un.
wieldly for serving on European battle
fields, is abandoned for the continental
unit of about $4,000 men. has been or
dered by the War Department. Under
the new plan a division will include
only two infantry brigades of two reg
iments EACH in place of three brigades
of three regiments each under the old
system. Many other organization
changes are made, including material
increase in the artillery and machine
gun strength of each division. The
cavalry regiment now included in each
division is detached, new trench NOR
tar battery is added, and the old army
corps plant, abandoned after the Civil
