hundred and fifty injured, many of
whom are expected to die, are in
emergency hospitals, while scores Of
others have been taken to private
homes.
Dawn today in West Frankfort
presented a picture Of desolation
that rivaled the war stricken por-
tions of France during the most
hectic days of the struggle. AS far
as the eyes could see the landscape
was huge irregular mass Of twist
cd debris.
1t was extremely difficult in many
instances at first to determine ac-
curately the details of the picture.
Here a whole house had been moved
completely from its foundation; at
another place a side had been ripped
off, while in other cases, what had
once been homes was nothing but
little piles of twisted wreckage.
From the fields north of the ORR

and there can be distinctly heard the
pitiful cries of the injured, still
pinned beneath the wreckage. Some
of these were extricated just before
breathing their last, while others
died as they were FASTENED to emer-
gency hospitals or other homes.
One of the most pitiable sights
that greeted the rescue workers was
that of mother lying terribly man.
gled while an infant crying Justify
crawled about her inert form.
At another home the body Of a
woman was found on the porch, a
deep cash in her head. She appar-
emily had met her fate while en-
deavoring to flee from the fury of
the storm. In one instance miner
still in his pit clothes and carrying
the limp form of five year old child
walked dejectedly in the path of res
cue workers to a pile of wreckage
that until yesterday constituted his
home. In the debris were found his
wife and another son, both terribly
injured.
The morgue was filled to over.
flowing with bodies Of the unfor
tunates, on one side of the structure
the bodies of 18 babies lie in one
group.
Practically every delivery truck II
the city was converted into ambul

Business houses generally were clos

HUNT FOR DEAD

Evansville, Ind, Mar. 19.-Three
Indiana towns, Princeton, Ovens
vile, and Griffin, today were en-
gagged in digging their dead and in
jured from the wreckage of homes,
stores and office buildings leveled
by tornado.
Upwards of 200 persons we're re-
ported to have been killed and hun
dreds of others reported injured.
No estimate of the property damage
was available.
Princeton with population of
more than 700 was the most serious
ly affected. Public libraries, social
halls and stores were transformed
into temporary morgues and hospi-
tails. At Princeton martial law was
declared to prevent footing and to
place the relief work under a re-
sponsible head.

highest possible point the ancients could achieve
without the telephone.
Yet all this naval activity was hidden not only
from hostile eyes, but even from the citizens them
selves unless they had business to bring them within
ship entering the lagoon Carthage would appear to
have no naval protection at ALL Even her bigger
merchant craft did not load on the shores of the
lagoon, but sailed into equally hidden square har-
Dor, which connected with the Cothon. Here, sur
rounded by towering warehouses; they were safe
from raids, and could load and discharge their pre-
ciOus and secret cargoes hidden from pryng eyes.
1t was here that the seven-story skyscrapers
stood, where Punic merchant princes figured out
profit and loss dictated to their stenographers held
conferences and decided what lines of beads and
clothes would sell best to the wild women of England
and France.
The square harbor joined the sea by a seventy
foot water gate which could be quickly closed with
chains and was the only way by which war or trade
ships could come or go. A long and high sea wall
guarded the entire water front from landing parties
of an enemy fleet The sea must have encroached
the land in the last two thousand years. because
the Count de Prorok was able from an aeroplane to
discern the ruins of this wall lying under water.
Some of the ancient cisterns. made of cement, 100
feet long by 20 feet wide and II feet deep have been
found buried in hillside near the citadel. These
used TO store rain water, for the cautious cltl-
zens would not trust to an aqueduct which might be
destroyed by besieging enemy. A late Roman city
built here did carry in mountain torrents through an
aqueduct, whose ruins may still be seen.
In their religion the Carthaginans strove to be
as efficient and busnesske as in all other affairs.
While they placed chief reliance the old Canaan

by the mind of man. All the wild and woody mer-
cenaries would be sure to find their own pet god
worshiped and we'll taken care of with the others.
1t is not supposed that the Carhaginian believed in
all these divinties but to play safe he worshped
any god that anyone else took stock in. Spiritually
they considered themselves completely covered.
There were no set times, apparently, when chill
dren to be sacrificed except whenever the city
was in danger, rather whenever the priests and
the council of one hundred declared it to be. On
these occasions the huge hollow bronze statue with
the body of man and the head of bull was rolled
out into the courtyard of the CITADEL where large
part of the population could watch the spectacle.
They would see boys of noble birth and unblemished
body placed in the statues hot hands, the scream
ing, struggling little body slide down the glowing
into the fiery furnace, his screams drowned by
the bowling chants of the priests, who at the same
time gashed themselves with sacred knives, to bleed
for the god
1t is possible now to stand where that gaping
multitude stood watching their priests burn the
babies. Also nearby one can stand within another
partly reconstructed temple where history had told
of the shocking human sacrifice of the brides be-
fore the leering staue of the old god Baal. Count
de Prorok has found the crumbled ruins of that very
building and has partly reconstructed the very walls
which silently witnessed those terrible and the
very stones which echoed with the lamentations of
the unhappy brides
The Temple of Astarte or Tanith, beautiful in
itself and in its lovely girl devotees, probably
greater menace to the national life than the cruel
chaste and represented all that best in
welded love and the fertility of the crops. This
doubtless the way the worship was first invented but
for reasons not known unutterably abominable rites
and orgies had crept in and were witnessed and even
performed by the daughters of the best families.

Queen Didos unfortunate affair with the travel

for discouraging the city from having royal rulers.
The hundred had the backing of the great multitude
of more less worthless commoners, who, like the
plebeians of Rome kept contented by free food
and free entertainment AS in Rome, they
satisfied to slaves do all the labor and their supe
rors all the planning and worrying, while they lived
without effort.
Such commoners as had ambition could satisfy it
with in the great business houses in the navy
or the unpopular army. Only the nobility seemed to
care for war, and while they were able to provide
leaders like Hamcar, Hasdrubal and finally Hanni-
bal, one of the worlds greatest generals, the rank
and file were mercenaries. The hundred was al
ways afraid that one of these leaders with the
cenaries at his back would convert himself into
emperor. If genius like Hannibal had done this it
might have been Rome instead of Carthage that was

NOTED DETECTIVE HAS
 HAD THRILLING LIFE
James Jackson Hunted Criminals i5 Years and Handled Many Of New
 Works Noted Cases.

Osslning, N, r.. March 7.-James Jackson, former state detective of New York and one of the best known criminologists in the world, yestcr- day observed hts S4th birthday at his home In Ossining. Until his re- t'roment from the Sing Sing official force in 1916. he had tor 45 years hunted criminals and escaped con- Ncts.
 In 1876 he captured Steve Boyle and another robber, who, with three other Sing Sing convicts, held up En- gineer Dennis Cassin on the New York Central railroad and escaped with his locomotive.
 In 1850 Jackson had a fight for hs life in a railroad station in Troy, N. r., while returning Gus Kindt. a notorious jail-breaker, to Sing Sing. Jackson finally shot and wounded kindt in a battle for possession of Jackson's revolver.
 He handled such notorious prison CTS as Edward Stokes, who shot Jim FSke, railroad magnate and fnan. cier; Johnny Hope, who directed the big robbery of the Manhattan Say. ings bank; Albert T. Patrick, whose death sentence was commuted and who served II years for the murder of William Marsh Rice, millionaire, of Manhattan; Ferdinand Ward, broker and partner of General L. S. Grant, who wrecked a bank and brokerage concern with losses Of $lo,oOo,oo0 and financially ruined former President Grant.
 In spite of his advanced age, Mir. Jackson is in fair health. He is now recovering from the effects of a heavy cold. He has a remarkably ret@ntive memory and still follows news of crime and prison affairs with great interest.
