STORMS STILL SWEEP WEST
Nine More Persons Reported Killed in
Kansas and Missouri by Recent
Violent Tornadoes.

Kansas City, June 6.-At widely
separated points, in Missouri and Kan
sas, tornadoes struck again yesterday
with vicious fury. At least nine per-
SONS were killed, and if the storms
toll is not greater it is due to the fact
that they swept over open country.
The little village of EImont, north
of Topeka, was almost entirely de-
stroyed, and one man was reported
killed there, two others were slain as
the storm swept across the farming
section along the Kaw river west of
Topeka. A negro boy was killed near
Lawrence and a man is reported dead
at Clinton, further west. Another
death is reported from Neosho county.
East of Richmond, No, two women
and baby were victims of tornado
that struck down their home. Three
negroes, working nearby, are expected
to die as a result of injuries.
Wires are down in all directions IN
the storm areas and it is difficult to
obtain definite information in regard
to the damage done, although it prob
ably will reach a high figure. Hail
accompanied the wind and rain and
added greatly to the damage to build
ings and crops.
In Kansas, the worst of the storms
extended from Eskridge to the north
ern edge of Shawnee county, dis
lance of forty miles. It may be that
the damage reported in Leavenworth
county was caused by the same storm.
From Pratt, in the southwestern part
of the state, and Olathe, near the east
ern line. come reports of persons in
jured and much damage caused by
wind and hail
Floods as an aftermath of the heavy
rains are expected Small streams are
Overlooking and the rivers are rising
as the water is drained into them.
Olathe, Kan, June 6.-Another tor
nado struck Johnson county tonight at
o'clock. Coming from the southwest
it swept across the southern part of
Olathe, destroying two houses, sew
eraI barns and damaging other prop
erty. J. T. SWank was injured dan
gerously when his home was struck
and Mr.. and Mrs. H. Donaldson suf-
fered rather severe injuries when the
storm blew away their house.
The storm hit first at Gardner, ten
miles southwest, but the damage there
was comparatively light.

Her Jupiter has arrived in France,
Secretary Daniels announced today,
laden with 10000 tons of wheat and
other supplies. The ship sailed from
an American port without any intima-
ton of her voyage having been given
out in advance and is now at anchor
in French port
The Jupiter is one Of the navy's
largest Golfers. She was the first
electrically propelled steamer ever
built and her performance was so good
that it led to the adoption Of electric
drive for all new battle ships and
battle cruisers, the American navy
being the only one in the world to
adopt this type of propulsion
The Jupiter was built at Mare Is
land Navy Yard, San Francisco, and
she has a nigh speed for an auxiliary
naval vessel, which would enable her
to escape submarine attacks under
any but unusual circumstances.
Secretary Daniels did not specify
what supplies besides wheat the big
ship carried.

west of town, a posse found a baby's
crib, furnished with clean bed cloth
ing and showing evidence of having
been occupied very recently. Nearby
was an improvised cot also covered
with clean sheets. The authorities
