DEATH TOLL IN CYCLONE
 IS 59, OVER f5o HURT

Muskogee, Okla. May 1.-The swift ly mounting death list of the storm that swept the little inland town of Peggs, Okla. from existence late Sun day night had reached 59 this evening with the finding of nine other bodies underneath the debris of ruined homes.
 Rescue workers placed the list of injured at 150. Several of the hurt in hospitals here and in Tahlequah, will not survive the night, physicians said.
 Last night, with lightning darting overhead and with the roll of the thunder of another approaching storm drowning the prayers and the sobs of those who are left in Peggs, the burial of the dead was begun. Seventeen were buried last night. Twenty-six others were laid away today. Eleven bodies of the family of R. M. Stephens were placed in one great grave. Another grave holds eight of the fam fly of John Littlefield. John Wilkinson and his family of five rest in another.

SEES VIRTUE IN ROAD PLAN
G. V. WimberIy Believes Egger Could
 Have a Good Road.

G. V. Wimberly, merchant at Egger, was in Mena on business Tuesday. Mir. Wimberly, coming from probably the best farming section of Polk coun- ty, which also is blessed CD with one of the worst roads to market, is much interested in road improvement, and, if it is not thought advisable to under take full hardsurface road at this time, believes it would be well to form district, as may be done under the law, levy small acre tax, build all necessary culverts of lasting mater ials, grade the road thoroughly, and then give it constant attention, to protect the drainage, keep bad places repaired, chuck holes filled and boul- ders off the road.
 This is plan outlined by Judge Finger, and strongly favored by him for all districts when the matter of raising sufficient funds for hard surface road is difficult

EXPECT VETO OF
 KNOX RESOLUTION
Administration Officials Believe Presi. dent Wilson Will Stand Pat on Position of League of Nations
 or Nothing.

Washington, May 4.--In the opinion of Administration officials close to President Wilson, the Knox resolu- tion is certain to be vetoed if adopted by Congress.
 It was said at the White House to- day that TO one had been authorized to speak with final authority for the president, but it was intimated that the general expectation among those in his confidence was that he would adhere strictly to the position he an- nounced last summer against any form of separate peace.
 Outlining their belief that the presi- ident would veto such a resolution, administration officials recalled his letter to Senator Fall last summer de- ciaring that to make separate peace would be stain on the nations honor. They said they knew of no reason to believe that the chief executive had changed his mind.
 That is the view held by many ad- ministration senators who are expect i ed to fight the peace resolution, but who will also expect that if it is passed, the president will return it to Congress unapproved.
 Senator Glass; Democrat, of Virgil mia, who on previous occasions had been consulted by his colleagues re- garding the presidents position on issues of the treaty fight was at the White House today and had long talk with Secretary Humility Sen ator Glass said he did not see the president and both he and Secretary Tumulty declined to reveal details of their discussion.
 Democratic members of the senate foreign relations committee conferred today with Secretary Colby and Sen ator Underwood of Alabama, Demo- cratic leader, regarding the Knox resolution, which is to be called up tomorrow.
 Senator Hitchcock, ranking Demo cratic member, said no definite course of action was decided upon.
 "We plan, however, he said, "to let the Republicans open the debate. There will be no obstruction of fili- buster from the Democrat side, am sure, and do not antieipae extended debate"
 It is not expected that the resolu- tion will be held continually before the senate daily, but that discussion will be intermittent as senators may desire to speak and without interfer- ring with important legislations.

Row Over 6O-Cent sandwich Brings
 Department of Justice In.
 Chicago. April 2s.-Doughboys just back from duty on the Rhine sallied forth today to get snack to eat. They ordered half a grapefruit, a club sand wich and cup of coffee each, expect ing the bill to be about 50 cents. They were amazed to find they had to pay 20 cents for grapefruit. 60 cents for a club sandwich and 15 cents for very small cup of indifferent coffee.
 The soldiers made such an ado about the affair that it came to the ears of tho department of justice and federal agents were sent out to collect menus, with view to many prosecu- tions for profiteering. It was found that club sandwiches, with only two layers, were being sold as high as 70 cents and an ordinary cheese sand wich. worth at best not more than 5 cents, was being retailed at 25 cents. D

MENA RIFLE CLUB NEXT.
War Department Will Furnish Equip
 ment for American Legion.


 ment for American Legion.
 Mena is to have rife club if plans of the Frank Fried Post of the Amer ican Legion go thru. At meeting of the local organization Wednesday night first steps for the rifle club were taken.

The regulation Spring field rife, with lighter ammunition than that of wartime, will be used. The organization of the rife club is in keeping with the plan of the gov ernment to promote craftsmanship among the young men of the nation, particularly former soldiers. It will also serve q good purpose in promot- ing interest in the soldiers organiza- tion.
 Arrangements for a shooting field and the starting of practice will be de cided upon as soon as possible. w. H. Taylor was named as sec retary of the post in place of Arley Woodrow. who found it necessary ts give up the work.

TORNADO LEVELS OKLAHOMA TOWN
When Storm Had Passed Not a Build ing Was Left Standing in the Town of Peggs-One Hun-
 dred Killed.

Muskogee, Okla, May 3.-More than fifty persons are known to have been killed and approximately 100 were injured in cyclone that virtual ly wiped out Peggs, small village in the northwest corner of Cherokee county, at g o'clock Sunday night
 Forty three bodies have been recov- cred by rescue workers from Musko- gee, Tahlequah and Locust Grove. More are believed to be still in the wreckage. The population of the town was 250.
 Whole families were wiped out by the storm. Seven members of the fam fly of John Littlefield were killed while nine perished at the home of N. Stevens.
 Forty-two collins are being sent to the scene of the storm from Tahle- quah. This is as many as could be found in the city.
 Temporary hospitals have been or ganized amid the wreckage and scores of severely injured are being given first aid Those who can stand the trip to Tahlequah are being taken there, where they will be placed in hospitals.
 Doctors to Scene.
 Tahlequah doctors were the first to reach the scene of the tragedy. Six physicians left there immediately af- ter the storm was sighted last night from Tahlequah. Later they sent calls for more assistance and at o'clock this morning one hundred automobiles with men and women relief workers were on their way to carry succor to the injured.
 The only physician in Peggs, Dr. I. Hill, was killed
 When the rescuers arrived in Peggs they found only a heap of twisted, mudlsplattered debris. A heavy rain and hail accompanied the storm and when the workers began collecting the bodies from the muck and rubbish many were so plastered with mud that they had to be washed off be- fore their identity could be establish ed.
 The dead were collected in shelters left by the tangled walls and roofs. Twenty were piled in one nook while the searching parties. ranged the im- mediate vicinity.
 Care for Injured.
 Doctors, nurses and assistants pressed into service have worked un- ceasingly since early his morning car ing for the wounded. Dr. W. T. Fite, who headed the Muskogee party, was an army doctor during the war and attention given the injured was similar to that of wounded men at the front None of the injured has reached Tahlequah yet but a number are on the way. Due to the rough country and poor roads it will likely be late this evening before they can be plac- ed in the Tahlequah hospital.
 One of the freaks of the storm was that small frame shack, uninhabited was left standing in the heart of the town while brick buildings housing many persons around it were razed to the ground The Peggs school house, concrete building, was crushed like an egg shell.
