which she was a sort of priestess, and
how she had thus come in contact with
the Duval girl. This girl had a "won-
derful gift of prophecy" and at q pri-
vate sitting with her had gone into q
trance-and had given out that Mrs.

Mennonfes To Move To
Mississippi and Brazil

Huron, June 15.-Mennonites from
Canada and South Dakota are plan
ming to migrate to Brazil. From in
vestigation among members of this
sect in this county, however, no such
move is contemplated at the present
time.
Although the local M%ennonites are
not contemplating moving to South
America, there is some talk of moving
to Mississippi. A newspaper published
by this sect in the German language
recently contained an article discuss
ing the migration of Mennonites from
South Dakota and Montana into the
southern states, where the church has
purchased large holdings Of fertile
land!
The migration to Mississippi in
Guides many colonies which were fore
to go to Canada during the war.

Number Hail Insurance
Claims Already Filed

Pierre, S D., June 12.-Hail insur-
ance claims have begun TO come into
the state hail insurance department
much earlier this year than for last
year. Thirty-five claims for losses
have so far been filed for the year,
and adjusters have been sent to look
into the cases. While a large number
of land owners in the state exempted
themselves for the year, there are
many risks under the state law, and
whether there is any reduction over
the number of risks carried last year
can only be shown when all returns
are in. While the state rate is much
less than that of commercial compan-
les carrying hail insurance in this
state, the private companies get a
good sized volume of business regard
less of the action of the state in this
line of insurance.

Cloudburst Near Mitchell
Causes Much Damage

Mitchell, s. D., June 15.-Probably
the worst rain storm Of the year was
reported late this afternoon over the
section extending from Murdo to Wes-
sington Springs. A literal cloudburst
inundated many miles Of the country.
At Oacoma, just west OF the Missouri
river, on American GREGG, Kings dam
was washed out and scores of heads of
stock persisted. Nearly a dozen farm
houses were washed away their entire
contents. Early cuttings of alfalfa
are probably a complete loss and thou
sands of acres of corn planted land
has been washed out.
Many washouts were reported along
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad and it Is feared that train
schedules west will be seriously in
terrupted.
At washington Springs more rain
fell than probably at any other point.
At 6 . m. two feet of water were re-
ported in the streets OF the business
section there. Every basement was
flooded and loss Of stock Of merchants
will be heavy.
Thus far no loss of life has been re-
ported though it is feared In Oacoma
district where Kings dam broke that
isolated ranchers may have been
drowned

MAY PUT EMBARGO
ON FUEL EXPORT
Embargo Seen ms Only Means of Re-
lieving Serious Fuel Short
age

Washington, June 15.-An embargo
on coal exports as a means of reliev-
ing serious fuel shortages In various
sections Of the countsy. notably in
New England, was taken up for con
sideration today by several depart
ments of the government.
Reports from New England received
in the last few days by the interstate
commerce commission, have told of a
coal shortage so serious that in
icipalities only two days supply is on
| hand. Governor Coolidge of Massa
chusetts has made repeated requests
for relief to the commission.
Rail Strike n Factor
Other sections of the country are
said to be facing similar problems
| although relief has been effected in
some cases.
/ n ANYWAY SohbOobioh hhohi IN
the country has not fully recovered
and the strike of marine workers in a
number of Atlantic ports are held to
be the principal contributing factors
to the present situation.
Eradication of the harmful influence
Of these two factors was the subject
OF a conference today between Attor-
ney General Palmer and members OF
the interstate commission.
| Means of dealing with rail congestion
| and marine labor troubles were under
stood to have been agreed upon al
though no statement was issued after
the conference.
Restoration OF normal transporta-
ton conditions by rail and by water,
however officials conversant with the
| situation said, would not bring com
plete relief from the coal shortage
and for that reason, the question OF
an embargo, similar to that in effect
during last falls coal strike is con-
sidered.
May Need More Laws
During the war the fuel administra-
ton was possessed of power to de-
clare an export embargo on coal, but
the transfer of the fuel administration
powers to the director general OF the
| railway administration and the more
recent placing OF the director generals
powers In the hands of the secretary
of the interior have clouded the ques-
ton OF whether an embargo could be
laid without additional legislation.
| Some legal experts hold that no OFF,
| cial now has power to declare an en-
barge and cite as support of their con-
tention the effect made In the closing
days of the last session of congress to
pass a bill for such an embargo.
Lever Act May Be Used
Members of the interstate commerce
commission are said to hold that the
| commission could not put an embargo
on export coal except indirectly by
means OF car assignment orders, which
would eliminate the supply Of cars for
the transportation Of such coal to the
ports.
Should the emergency become suf-
| fciently great, some officials declare
that the attorney general might act
| under the Lever food and fuel acl
to place an embargo OF coal.

a resident of Ohio, which state he has
represented as United States Senator

village OF Blooming Grove, Morrow
county, Ohio, November 2, 1865, the
eldest Of eight children. His father,
George T. Harding, was a country doc
tor whose forebears came from Scot
land. Before going to Ohio, the Hard
ings were residents Of Pennsylvania,
where some of them were massacred
by Indians Others fought in the rev.

lily to Marion. A short time afterwara
the father purchased for Warren Hard
ing "The STAR" then a small paper.
On the paper Warren Hardin per-
formed every function from devil to

and several large manufacturing
plants and Is a trustee of the Trinity
Baptist Church.
Mr.. Harding has twice represented

ed one term as lieutenant governor.

ted United States Senator By q major
ity of more than 100, 900 running $4,000
ahead of the next highest on the ticket.
In the senate he is a member of the
committee on foreign relations. Sen
ator Harding married Miss Florence
