THlRTY-PERSONS KILLED
BYAT TORNADO IN KANSAS
More Than Fifty Injured, Also, by
Storm in South Central Sec
ton of State.

WICHITA. Kan. May 26-South CEN
trail Kansas today is recovering from
the ravages of spring tornado which
late yesterday tore jagged path
through two counties and killed thirty
persons.
Andale. village of less than 300 in
habitants, was the chief sufferer, with
sixteen identified dead. The country
district to the northeast, near Sedg
wick, reported nine fatalities. while
two dead were identified near Newton,
still to the northeast. Conflicting re-
ports are being received regarding un-
identified dead. More than fifty per-
sons have been injured.
The tWister arose in the southwest
and swooped down upon Andale with
a suddenness that prevented any Or
Eanized escape. With the small end of
the hefunnel-shaped mass whirling debris
and siashing path from a quarter to
half mile in width, residences and
business buildings of the town were
reduced to splnters with the accom-
panying loss of human life. Booming
on as suddenly as it came, the tornado
swept through what is known as one
of the richest farming districts of the
state, leveling standing grain and
farmhouses standing in it's path.

that the war has made Japan a great
credit or nation, that her exports greatly
exceed imports and that the movement
of gold has been made imperative by
abnormal commercial conditions.
In banking circles the opinion pre-
walls that Japanese bankers have been
drawing down their reserves in this
country to meet increased expenditures
at home, where reserves could be put
out at better interest returns. The
Japanese government and banking in
terests in Japan, it is understood. have
made heavy loans to Russia. 1t Is an
assumed fact also that the remarkable
growth of Japanese industries. chiefly
in munition and war supplies, calls for
the return to JapaG of large sums OF

Suspect Spies in England.
Harbor strewn With Mines.

That the Queenstown harbor en-
trance was strewn by submarines with
mines intended for the American ships
was considered by officials as proof
that the German information concern
ing the departure and destination of the
boats was accurate. The seriousness of
the disclosure was not greatly anchor
ated by the fact that the German plan
was discovered in time and the destroy
ers saved.
In announcing Admiral Sims dis
patch. the Navy Department, through
the committee on public information,
said:
The department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German spy
system is still at work in this country
making imperative the need of secrecy

ENGLAND'S FOOD RULES
TO BE GUIDE IN u. S.
Some of the Regulations Which May
Be Adopted in Less String
ent Form.

Food regulations of the allies, which
probably will furnish the basis for
some ewhat similar rules in the United
States are being assembled by the gov
ernment.
American regulations probably will
be less stringent, but this is not de-
terring Herbert c. Hoover, selected for
food administrator, and other officials
from giving careful study to the codes
Of other warning nations
Here are some of the more striking
British regulations:
For public meals the allowance of
meat is based on an average Of five
ounces for each luncheon and dinner
and two ounces for each breakfast
served on non-meatless days.
Tuesdays are meatless days in Lon
don, and Wednesdays elsewhere in the
kingdom.
Potatoes must not be served except on
meatless days and Fridays.
The making of any light fancy pas
tries mullins, crumpets. fancy tea cakes
and other light articles are prohibited
No ornamental cake or bun may be
| made.
Sale Of bread unless twelve hours old
is prohibited.
All bread must be sold by weight, and
all loaves must be one pound or an
even number of pounds.
Fifteen per cent of sugar Is allowed
in cakes and biscuits: 10 per cent in
buns. No sugar may be used in scenes.
No person shall acquire supplies of
food beyond the needs Of his ordinary
consumption. The food controller may
order the inspection of premises in
which he has reason to believe that
boarding is taking place.
No wheat, rye or tapioca may be used
except for human foods.
The output of beer is limited to the
rate of 100000 barrels per annum
as compared with 36.OOO.OOO barrels be-
fore the war.
Penalty for violation of any rule is
six months Imprisonment, or f10O fine,
or both.

FAIL TO SETTLE SUIT
OVER M'LEAN ESTATE
Trustee Withdraws Application for
Ratification by Court of
Compromise.

The litigation involving the estate of
John r. Mclean. millionaire newspaper
publisher, developed a new angle today
The American Security and Trust
Company, trustee of the estate under
the will of Mr.. Mclean. dated June 3,
1915. withdrew it's application for the
ratification of a compromise with Ed
ward b. Mclean the only child of the
deceased, and dismissed a proceeding in
equity by which it sought the courts
approval of the agreement with the
heir. Young Mclean took steps look
ing toward the renewal of his contest
over his fathers will by asking Justice
Stafford to sign issues as to the validity
of the will. Justice Stafford signed the
issues and certified the case for trial
before a jury, June11.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-05-26
Both Sides Are Reticent.

The compromise between the trustee and
the contesting heir was effected last De-
cember. By its terms Mr.. Mclean was to
withdraw his caveat and the trustee was
ton Post and Cincinnati Enquirer and to
pay him the net income from the estate.
Justice Stafford has had under consider
alton the matter of confirming the agree
ment since that time.
Attorneys Wilton ]. Lambert and former
Senator Bailey of Texas, representing
Mr.. Mclean, declined to discuss the
meaning of the new turn in the litigation,
and Attorneys j. J. Darlington and Frank
]. Hogan. for the trust company, were
equally reticent.
Two issues are framed by the order
signed today. The first raises the ques-
ton of the mental capacity of John r.
Mclean when the will was signed. The
second deals with the matter of undue
influence in the obtaining of the will or
in procuring it's execution.
