TORNADO KILLS
WOMAN IN IOWA
Small Farm District 20 Miles NGrth-
west of Des M0ineS Suffers
Thousands Dollars Damage.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 7.-One
woman dead and property damage
running into thousands of dollars
are the results of a tornado which
swept a small farm district 20
miles northwest of Des Moines at 9
o'clock last night.
Mrs. William Tfernan was killed
when the Tiernan home was demol-
lished. Her husband, six children,
and a hired man, who were also in
the house, escaped without serious
injury, although one of the chill
dren was found in a field some dis
tance from the scene. The child
had suffered only minor injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Hanson and
their four children, of near Madrid,
were injured last night when their
home was destroyed by the tornado.
The family was found by a
neighbor wandering through a field
in a dazed condition clad only in
their night clothing. The mem
bers are under the care of a ply
sician today.
Dozens of farm buildings lying in
the path of the twister in the vicin-
ity of Woodward, Madrid and Shell
dahl were demolished. Trees were
uprooted and some livestock was
reported killed.

daughter, Megan, which left today
for Genoa, the scene of the inter-
national economic conference which

chancellor of the exchequer, accom-
panied the premier. Others in the
party were Sir Maurice Hankey,

AT
BEARDSTOWN
NEAR BREAK
Orders 15O Fam
lies to Desert Homes;
River Still Rising.

Beardstown, Ill, April IA fran
tic attempt to strengthen the levee
Of the Illinois river was being made
early this afternoon by a force of
60 workers piling sand bags at a
point where it seemed the levee
was giving way. Mayor Perry,
from his home, issued an order
that the entire population of
COoms addition, number $50 fami
lies, desert their homes.
Residents of Beardstown remem-
Der no time when the water has
risen to it's present stage. Old
settlers are quoted as saying it is
the highest the Illinois has been at
Beardstown in 80 years. Rain is
still falling and the water still
creeping higher.
The exact height to which the
river has risen cannot be deter
mined. In covering the wagon
bridge in its onrush, the water has
isolated the river gauge.
Beardstown, ILL.,, April Fifty
families in the west end of Boards
town were warned shortly before
noon today to hurry their depar-
ture from their homes, that the
levee along the Illinois river was
in danger, and had given evidences
of weakening and might break at
any moment. The water has al
ready passed the danger point of
1913.
Alarm was taken yesterday when
the danger point of 20.5 feet was
passed, and the flood warning was
issued this morning when it was
estimated the record mark of %
feet had been reached. Water has
already covered the wagon bridge
and is threatening the gas plant,
which If reached, may cut of gas
lighting and heating.
Appeal has been made to Adju-
tant-General Black to send 25 mora
tents. Twenty-Five tents asked for
yesterday as a precautionary have
already been received. The appeal
was sent by Police Magistrate
Saunders who has taken control of
the situation, at the request of
Mayor Perry, who is i'll.
Springfield, ILL.,, April 7.-Twen-
ty-five more tents for high water
refugees at Beardstown will be
