WretchedStreet
Car Service
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Any remark on the subject
If street car service in Wash
ington should be prefaced by a
distinction between the careful
and efficient Capital Traction
Company and the careless and
Inefficient Washington Railway
and Electric Company. I'M
provement is needed, for that
matter, in the service of both
companies, but if the latter
corporation took as much pains
as the former in meeting the
demands of the public, there
would be little cause for COM
plant.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion must know the facts of the
situation. For four years, the
people of Washington have
waited patiently for the COM
mission to take corrective ac-
ton. The commission recently
recognized the injustice Of cleo
trio light rates. 1t ought now
to compel the street car COM
panies t o give the public the
service they deserve.

Whiskey
1t Must No Longer Defend the
Land of Sorrow, Crime, Vice,
Poverty, Insanity.

Whiskey, recently defeated
in the battle of Whiskey
Land, has caused more deaths
than the European war has
caused thus far. It has caused
more sorrow, cost more money
in the world than half a dozen
such wars.
The whiskey battle was
fought in the Capitol at Wash
ington, and whiskey was de-
feated. It is going, sentence
has been pronounced, it will
never come back.
The powerful cartoon on
this page shows the whiskey
situation and WHISKEY
LAND.
In Whiskey Land the great
buildings are the poorhouse,
the asylum, the penitentiary,
the morgue. And the Potter's
Field is off in one corner.
Whiskey from the begin
ming has defended this terri
tory and increased its inhabi-
tants.
Men and women have
fought against it, but until
now it has always conquered.

Declaration of independence,

Barbourville, Ky.-Operators from

have been in the Kentucky fields
lately. After looking over the
situation many have decided to re-
main and get into the game. Quite a
number of new corners are among the
most successful producers in the coun-
try and their entrance means further
large investments in the various Ken
lucky Tennessee pools. For several
months the showing in new production
made by Kentucky excels that of any
other high-grade field in the country,
and the cheapness of drilling, COM
bined with the wide extent of produc-
tive territory, makes the territory es-
pecially attractive at this time of high
prices and scarcity Of production.

As 1t Visits Hyde Park, Mt.
Lookout, Delta, Red Bank and
Eastern Cincinnati
THREE KILLED; FIFTY INJURED
Imperiled BY Live Wires in Stricken
Oistrict-Property Damage Will Run
Into Many Thousand DoIlars-Six
Buildings Entirely Destroyed.

Cincinnati, O.-Three persons were
killed, more than fifty others injured
seriously and property damage done
which, it is believed, will approximate
more than half a million dollars in a
tornado which visited Hyde Park, Mt.
Lookout, Delta, Red Bank and other
Eastern Cincinnati suburbs. Fires,
caused by gas explosions, followed in
more than a dozen houses, compelling
the efforts of the fire department to
be distributed over as many places.
Half dozen of these buildings were
damaged badly by fire alone. The
light of morning will reveal, it is be-
lieved, scene of wreckage and debris
comparable at least to that which was
in the wake of the tornado which
swept Cincinnati July Z, 1915, in which
SO lives were lost. Bodies of the vic
tins were taken from their respective
dwellings in which the rushing tornado
caught them unawares Hundreds OF
persons caught in the path of the
storm, which appeared to center in
Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout, suffered
minor injuries and fright, and others
escaped through the vagaries of fate
and the winds.
Darkness covered the entire storm
stricken section until almost midnight.
Twisted tree trunks and telegraph
poles, stray porches and house roofs
INSTRUCTED the streets. Traffic east of
st. John Park was impossible until
early morning. Street and interurban
when the storm severed the electric
| feed wires. Disconnected telephone
and telegraph lines delayed notifica-
| ton to police and firemen half an hour.
| When relief finally commenced to ar
rive the workers amid the ruins toiled
tersections along the streets by resi-
dents of the neighborhoOd. According
| to stories of persons who claimed to
have heard first the approach of the
wind, the tornado arrived with roar
comparable to that OF a dozen express
trains. Many persons were caught a
supper. Others were on their way Il
churches and the theaters when the
storm came.
| Chief of Police Copelan and Fire
Chief Barney Houston accompanied
their men to the scene and directed
the work of rescue and relief. Chie1
Houston estimated the property dam
age to be more than 100000. Few
persons carried tornado insurance
Many of the minor injuries incident
to the tornado were caused by bits o.
flying glass. Thousands of windows il
the vicinity of the storm were blown
out, or were broken by flying timbers
and wreckage.
