are: Chicago, Al; Indiana, "a; Michi-
gan, 5; Missouri, 1; Wisconsin, 1.
In Indiana the situation was in
some doubt, there being conflicting
reports of large losses of life in
isolated villages. Geneva, Indiana,
reported six dead, with many others
believed fatally injured. A message
from Geneva said scores were wound
ed, and buildings in the business dis
trict were laid flat on the ground, as
is a steam roller had passed over
them.
In Illinois the property loss run in
to millions In Elgin, where great
destruction was wrought, it took the
tornado but three minutes to bore it's
way through the main part of the
city. The property loss is estimated
at $1i5OO,OOO.
The western outskirts of Chicago
make picture of a war torn coun-
try-crumpled masonry, hanging
wires, twisted steel girders, and piles
of debris, intermingled with partial
ly wrecked buildings, comprised
human holocaust and funeral pole
over which thousands of curiously in
clined persons swarmed today.
Reports from Indiana had several
small towns practically wiped out.
More than 100 were injured, besides
"a killed.
Ohio dispatches reported between
Is and 25 dead in that state, and 200
were injured.

SONORA STATE GUARDS
TO BE SWORN INTO THE
FEDERAL SERVICE SOON

douglas International, March 25.)
State guards units of Sonora are to
be sworn into federal service for gar
rison duty, according to a statement
made this morning by the Carranza
military authorities at Aqua Prieta
and the troops will be used for the
purpose of garrisoning a number of
towns in the central and southern
portions of the state of Sonora.
This action is being taken by the
federal government according to the
military, not only because of the re-
ported uprising by the new Diaz-Villa
revolutionary factions, but in answer
to number of appeals from resi-
dents of numerous Sonora towns ask
ing that the protection of federal
troops be accorded them in view of
increasing raids by bandits. In addi-
tion to strengthening several impor-
tant military posts throughout the
state, garrisons will be established
at Carbo, Santa Ana, Ojo Aqua,
Granados, Pcrdon and Suaqui, all of
which towns are situated in the
southern and central parts of Sonora.

BASEBALL ON THE
PACIFIC COAST
TO Be R|v|SED
Omitted Press Selvice)


SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-
Umpires of the Pacific Coast Base
ball League, the gents whose reson-
ant voices will proclaim what's what
in this seasons games, are here to-
day for a conference with President
w. H. Mccarthy of the league.
New rules especially those govern
ing freak delivery, will come in for
lengthy discussion.
The series between the Chicago
Cubs and the San Francisco and Oak
and teams is scheduled to start to-
lay and Mccarthy says he will give
as many of the umpires as possible
an opportunity to work in these
games.
Of the eight indicator men here,
four are new in the coast league.
Byron, former National league
lump" is one. Byron is widely ex-
perienced and Mccarthy affirms it
was no easy task to persuade him to
nook up with the coast league staff.
Another of the newcomers is Ole
Anderson, who halls from the South
ern league. He was highly recon-
mended by President Charles Comis-
key of the Chicago White Sox.
Complications are expected to re-
suit from new rules which go into eff
feet this season. Discoloration of a
bail is forbidden. 1t will work a
hardship on certain twirlers who
habitually moisten the ball with
tobacco juice.
Tom Saeton of the San Francisco
club, who chews licorice and plentiful
ly daubs the sphere with the inky
black saliva, is one hurler hard hit.
President Mccarthy predicts ban
ner year for baseball. A revival of
interest in baseball usually follows a
war, according to him. He pointed
out the wonderful year for the ma
tional pastime that came on the heels
of the conclusion of the Spanish
American war.
every team in the Coast league
has been materially strengthened"
said President Mccarthy.
"There is more rivalry now than
ever before. Great sums of money
have been spent in building up
teams"
Every player ought to be in con-
dition, Mccarthy believes, for most
of the clubs began practice this year
earlier than usual, and the weather
has been more favorable than in past
years.
Ernie Johnson and Clyde Wares,
new pilots of Salt Lake and Seattle,
respectively are out for the flag;
other managers announce they al
ready have a. mortgage on it, says
Mccarthy, but GLOOMY" Bill Essick
of Vernon whose team copped last
season, "just sits back and grins wise
ly."
The baseball season opens April 8.

DECLINES THE SUGGESTION

Yesterday evenings Herald con-
veyed communication from Mr..
Fred w. Hannah, on behalf of his
mother, Mrs. E. Donald, which COM
plunication was addressed to Mr.. ].
C. Barnes, president of the Young
Business Mems Association of No
gales, which also declined the sug-
gestion of Mr. Barnes. published in
"The Oasis" Sunday morning, that
the proponents of the Morley Avenue
proposed site for a federal building
withdraw their proposition.
The assertion of Mr.. HanTnah that
it is doubtful whether the proposition
can be withdraw is untenable. A good
way to test it would be for Mrs.
Donald and the First National Bank
to unite in a request to be permitted
to withdraw the option. If Mr.. Han
nah's position is correct, the permis-
sion would be refused; and that would
settle it. But unless they do make
an effort to withdraw the option they
allege they gave, they are open to a
grave suspicion that they still hope
to put over the Morley Avenue site
despite the overwhelming vote in
favor Of the High School park site.
Neither is Mr.. Hannah's assertion
fairly accurate that the election Sat-
urday was not upon selection of
site for federal building; but upon
authorizing the school board to sell
site. While that was the form the
question was put the real issue was
should a federal building be put on
that site. No one in favor of the
other site voted to authorize the
school board to sell the High School
park site.

WESTERN UNION
|NSTALLS A GREAT
TUBE S Y S 7 f M
Omitted Press Service)

kOnlU6Q fr6SS OeIVlCS)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-The
most extensive underground pneuma-
tic tube system in the west and the
third largest in the United States is
nearing completion here.
1t is being installed by the Western
Union Telegraph company at a cost
of almost $250,00O.
The tubes-thirteen miles of them
will be in operation early in June
in time to facilitate the handling of
the rush of business incidental to the
Democratic National convention.
There will be only two tube systems
in the country larger than the only
in process of construction here
those in New York and Chicago, both
owned by the Western Union.
Eleven miles of copper tubing will
wind it's way under the city's prin-
cipal streets, connecting a score of
branches with the main office Of the
company. In addition there will be
two more miles of steel tubing in the
buildings.
A 35-horse-power air compressor
will propel carriers containing mes
sages to and from the sub-stations
and the main office.
Less than a minute will be required
to send message from any one OF
the twenty branches to the main Of
flee, or vice versa.
Officials of the company assert
that approximately 5000 messages
are handled daily at present. Thou
sands more will be dispatched and re-
ceived each day during convention
time.
The tubes are two and half inches
in diameter and the majority of
mileage will extend in tunnels under
Market street.
Speed and efficiently are the chief
objects of the tubes. The trudging
messenger boy, or the uniformed lad
astride bicycle or motorcycle will
be less in evidence in the business
district. They will have to walk but
few steps in delivering kilograms to
downtown business houses, and the
greater part Of the w. U. messenger
force will be used in carrying mes
sages to their destination from the
branches, or to the branches to be re-
layed via tube to the main office.
Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland
will have similar tube systems later.
Officials of the company announced
they are working on plans for those
cities.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Two torna-
does which swept eight states Sun
day, claimed toll, approximately of
125 lives, destroyed millions of dol
lars worth of property, and left hun
dreds of families homeless.
Reports to the Weather Bureaue
show that there were two distinct
storm areas: One in Georgia and
Alabama, the other in the Middle
West.
Fires followed the storms in some
cities, adding to the suffering and
distress.
Food, hospital supplies, physicians,
nurses and clothing were rushed to
the stricken areas, and the injured
were cared for in temporary buildings,
while the debris was combed for in
jured victims of the storm.
LAGRANGE, Georgia, seemed the
hardest hit. Between forty and sixty
were reported killed there, more than
one hundred injured. and 300 home
less.
The western storm appeared first
near st. Louis, where one was kill
ed, the storm center swept northward,
branching out over Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois and Michigan, and extending
into Wisconsin, it finally spent itself
out in Lake Michigan.
Communication is badly crippled.
Sixty-two lives were lost throughout

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
VERA CRUZ, March 29.-In the
state of Vera Cruz today the Car
ranza government confronts one Of
it's greatest problems in bandits ex-
termination. 1t is that fact that adds
zest to the present situation in this
interesting region, and heightens the
thrill of travel on the railroad line be-
tween Mexico City and the port of
Vera Cruz.
Danger has been decreased to the
absolute minimum on this line, but
the ride has a thrill-bandits or no
bandits-for the trip from the Mexi-
can capital to the seacoast, from a
scenic viewpoint, has few rivals in
this world of natural wonders. 1t
was this same scenic splendor which,
in the old days, proved on ally of the
roaming bandits. With the train
swinging around high precipices and
through mountain gorges, and with
rugged peaks affording excellent hid
ing places, the wary bandit had the
advantage, whether his object was
hold-up or blow-up.
Those were the days, however, be-
fore some wise head in the Carranza
lineup outguessed the bandits and
conceived the notion of erecting
block-houses on the very eminences
that formerly had been points of
vantage for the bad men. So block
houses blocked the bandit. The
traveller to Vera Cruz today, after the
has traversed about half the distance
and has entered the mountainous dis
trict, sees at intervals of every one OF
two kilometers these picturesque
fortresses, constructed of adobe OF
cement and containing apertures
where the trusty fireams may be
rested. Inside the houses Carranzista
soldiers. At some places the block
houses seem to be in the most pre-
carious positions, perched up on the
mountain sides, but their presence
has not met with favor in bandit
circles.
But the government has another
card which it plays against the

VISIT OF A FORMER RESIDENT

Many Nogales people will remem-
ber Frank Reagan an old timer in
Line City, who was at Mowry also,
when that camp was livelier than
now. Mr.. Reagan was a Nogales
visitor yesterday and renewed many
old acquaintance.
Mr.. Reagan has informed a report
er Of "The Oasis" that he was with
the Continental Commission Co. of
Winkleman, Arizona.
This company has a good producing
mining property ten miles from
Winkleman, and are shipping about
four cars of ore day. The ore runs
heavy in lead and silver, but there is
a good showing of copper and some
gold, each shipment of four cars net
ting the company a little better than
seven thousand dollars; and Mr..
Reagan is charged with smiles and
enthusiasm.
Miss Alice McFadden is Secretary
and Treasurer of the company. The
company has other property in what
is known as the famous 70 group.
Mr.. Reagan left yesterday for Ell
Paso, Texas where he has pending
some important business.

mountains, started for San Francisco

for work to begin at once on property
mentioned. Mr.. Jones has a high
idea of the Old Soldier group, and he

maurauders. This is the armed escort
which accompanies the train. In fact,
there are two armed escorts. At
tached to the passenger train is a
freight car containing a body of Car
rama soldiers, nondescript, but with
Mausers very much in evidences Then
behind the passenger train is anoth-
er string of cars, troop train,
which carries still more soldiers.
The troops in this train act as rein
forcements, if the occasion demands,
after the soldiers up front have en-
gagged the attackers in a preliminary
skirmish.
Time was when the troop train, or
"explorador" as it was called, travel
ed ahead of the passenger outfit, do
ing scout duty. But there was a
flaw in this arrangement. The canny
banditti graciously allowed the troop
train to pass, then dynamited the
passenger cars. At least that was
the theory, according to the Hoyle of
banditrya and the troopers might have
continued many miles ahead before
they learned what had happened in
the rear. So the position of the
trains was reversed.
With this bandit-proof combina-
tion of block-houses and armed es-
corts, the traveller to this picturesque
port may revel uninterruptedly in the
offerings of nature. From Mexico
City he advances toward the divide,
the highest point which separates the
mountainous plateau district from the
terra caliente, or "hot country" of
the coastal region.
Finally he reaches this divide and
then, peeping downward through the
mountain passes, he catches sight of
the tropical country beneath him.
He has begun to coast to the lower
levels. He is still in a high altitude,
amid the temperate climate of the
mountains, but there beneath him, in
full view, are banana trees and cocoa
nut palms-a South Sea Island set
ting. Around and around the noun
tains the train passes and the same
