CHICAGO, July ii. - The Middle West is trying to get it's breath to- day and start business again after being inundatel by rain and hail. swept by wind, and harassed by lightning bolts, in the great storm which swept over this section last night The storm crossed the states of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, South Da- kota, Nebraska and Kansas. In some of these states the damage was ex- tensive, but owing to interruption of wire traffic caused by the high wind, but meager details have been re- ceived. In some places where the precipitation was not excessive the rain in fact benefited the crops. A cloudburst flooded Kansas City but only slight damage is reported. There has been some loss of life but details are lacking. This city suffered but little, and many people looked on the storm as a blessing in disguise, for it ended forty-three day drought.

Waller RONINE
GETS SIX YEARS
Sentenced After Convict
ion in Dynamiting
Case

FAYETTEVILLE, March l.
Walter C. Romine was sentenced
today TO the state prison for Sin
years on charge Of dynamfting
on which he was found guilty last
week in circuit court. Judge S. H.
Sharp imposed sentence after
over-ruling the motion Of the de-
Tense to set aside the verdict and
grant new trial. Notice OF ap-
peal to the supreme court was
given at once.
Romine is in jai! here, the bail
at which he was at liberty. during
his trial having terminated when
the verdict OF guilty was returned.
In asking for a new trial, the de-
fense alleged prejudice on the
part OF two jurors. said to have
overheard conversations between
witnesses before the trial. This
was answered today by affidavits
by the two jurors tht they had
gone into the trial with open
minds, and prosecution attorneys
also argued against other grounds
on which the defendant had relied
in his plea for setting the verdict
aside.
The charge against Rominc was
that he took part in wrecking a
power station Of the Willis
Branch coal company, which was
blown up by dynamite on the
night of February 15, 1921. Tcs-
timony for the state was that
about 25 men took part, and that
Romine acted as leader of one Of
the groups and furnished arms
for the expedition. His story OF
spending the night in Cirtsyille,
where his store and home were
situated, was corroborated by a
large number Of defense witness
es who also attacked other parts
Of the prosecutions case. The
dynamiting OF the power station
was one OF the events In labor
disturbances ct Willis Branch for
which So men are under indict-
ment.

bride on the trip. with him. The
marriage was to take place at
O'Clock according to persons IA
miliar with tho case and the big
league player and his bride were
to leave on a night train.
something happened between the
time the license was issued and
o'clock that evening, and when Leo
left for camp he was still q single
man. He later burned the license
instead Of returning It TO the office
OF the county clerk to be cancelled.
Before leaving for the spring
training camp this year Mr.. King
had local attorney to prepare a
long affidavit, showing that the II.
cense obtained here last February
had not been used. The affidavit
was taken to the office Of County
Clerk Satterfield and is now pasted
over the application for the license
which was granted to King last
year.
After being sure that this matter
was properly attended to, Mr.. King
departed for New York where the
following day he obtained a license
and was married. taking his bride

CHICAGOBU|LDING
TRADESONSTR|KE

CLEVELAND, March 1.-Con.
struction OF many buildings was at
standstill here today and many
men were idle as a result of the
failure of the building trades
council and the building trades en-
employers association to reach
an agreement over wage scale
for 1922. The old contracts ex-
.pired last midnight, according to
the contractors. but the unions IN.
sist they are operative until
May 1.
The twenty.one unions affiliated
with the trades council have q
membership Of about $4,000. 1t
could not be learned early today
how many of these are affected, as
not all of them have been working
and separate agreements were
reached between the plasterers and
glaciers unions and employers.
Building under construction
amounts to approximately S25.00O,-
900. William F. Hennessy, secre-
tary Of the employers association,
predicted that the tie.up would be
complete while Charles Smith,
secretary of the building trades
council, estimated only about 40
per cent would be affected.
The wage scale announced by
the employers Saturday was order
ed into effect this morning, pend
ing a settlement. 1t provides for
reduction Of IS to 36 percent
which the men refused to con.
