Tornado Completely DevaStates
Small Georgia District.
Many of Injured Expected to
Die From Hurts.
RELIEF IS BEING RUSHED
Most of the Slain Were Negroes
Two Were Whites.
Many Freak Tricks Were
Played by the Twister.

Oconee, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE death
toll in yesterdays tornado that swept
thru the Gardner settlement near here
remained today at about thirty.
Many of the dead had been sent to
nearby points and scores of the in
jured were in hospitals at Tennille and
Sandersonville and there was no way
of obtaining accurate information as
10 the exact number.
The list of fatalities stood at two
whites and more than a score OF
negroes but number of the injured,
chiefly negroes, were expected 10 de
Region Completely Devastated.
Relief has been sent from Atlanta
and nearby towns and the injured and
homeless are cared for by the Red
Cross and civic organizations 1den-
tification of the bodies continued slow
hut it was ascertained that in some
cases entire families had been wiped
out.
The region visited by the tornado
was completely devastated. 1t is
an area nearly five miles long and half
a mile wide, stretching from Gard
ner almost to Toomshoro.
The chief property damage occurred
at the plant of the Cleveland-Oconee
Lumber company. where most or the
victims of the disaster were employed.
A large part of the plant was de-
stroyed and millions of feet of lumber
scattered for hundreds of yards in
every direction.
The wind played many freaks. A
school building in which there were
eighty children was destroyed but all
of the pupils esiaped with no more in
jury than bruises. Bodies of some or
the victims were hurled thru the air
for great distances and badly man.
gled Scores of houses We're RACED and
giant trees were twisted Off Boards
and other objects were blown about as
if shot from gun Most OF the
bodies were found in an open field,
where they had been carried by some
freakish whirl of the wind. Cars were
blows from railway tracks, and fowls
stripped clean of their feathers.
Torrential downpours of rain &C
companied the wind and all rivers
and streams were reported at flood
and still rising early today.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Feb. STANDARDIZATION
of increased movement of grain from
North Dakota had bearish influence today
on the wheat market. Asserted likelihood
that rural borrowers on notes would begin
to sell grain more freely was given as a
reason for this talk of larger crop move
ment. Bears contended also that American
wheat prices are at present the highest in
the. world. Opening quotations, which
to &c lower with March $I.651a to s1-66. and
May S1.541a to $1.5515. were followed by q
material setback all around and then some
thing of a reaction.
Increased offerings in parts of Kansas,
Indiana and Ohio were noted. Trade was
mainly of a pre-holiday character and the
market easily influenced. The close was
unsettled, 1Hc to 2Ac net lower, with
S1.54A.
CORN-Corn was relatively firm owing
to continued smallness OF country offerings
of feed stuffs. After opening unchanged to
15c higher, including May at 67kc to 6SHc,
the market eased off a little.
Some export business WAS noted. The
close was steady at the same as yesterdays
finish TO nc higher. with May 81 &c to Csc
OATS-Oats paraileled the action of corn
starting unchanged to &c higher. May 44Ac
to 443sc and after hardening somewhat fur
Their. underwent a moderate sag.
PROVISIONS-Provisi were stronger
in line with hogs.

Rails were singled out for pressure at the
opening of today's stock market. Reading
common made an initial decline of IA
points and this was soon increased by an
additional point. Several of the other coal
shares, as well as Changers and Transcon-
tinentals forfeited large fractions. Cali
fornia Petroleum, yesterdays strongest fea-
oils reflected the readjustments now pro-
ceeding in that industry. Steels, Coppers,
United Fruit, Peoples Gas and Famous
Players represented the firm issues. The
one feature of pronounced strength was
Manati Sugar, which rose 4 points.
Selling of rails which resulted from ru-
mors affecting the Reading segregation
plan halted before the end of the first hour
and that group made gradual recovery.
Oils also strengthened despite further cuts
in the crude product. Mexican Petroleum.
General Asphalt and Royal Dutch rose to
points. Crucible Steel, Baldwin and In
favorites at gains of 1 to ~ points and ex-
tensions to early advances were made by
Famous common and preferred. Several in
conspicuous issues, notably New York Ship
