HIGH COST OF
COAL INJURIES
STEEL TRADE

Leeds. England, March 19.--Brit-
ish steel manufacturers have found
difficulty in selling steel in their
own territory, India. because they
have been outbid by the Germans and
Bclgians, it was announced here by
A. M. Samuel. parliamentary secre-
tary to the Department for Overseas
Trade, addressing the Leeds Cham
Der of Commerce.
The situation which brought this
about, said Mr.. Samuel, was the high
price Of coal. The price of steel,
which was largely dependent on the
price of coal, was SO high today that
it paid to import steel from abroad.
Two or three shillings per ton off
the price of coal, he suggested, would
make all the difference to the pros
perity of British trade, and the exist
ing high price of coal was doing
harm which extended much farther
than to the 100000 men who were
out of work in the coal fields.
Mr.. Samuel, however, was quite OPP
timistic as to the future for British
trade generally. With the exception

.EARLYADVANCE
Rapid Series of Flurries Takes
Price to $1.65H

Chicago, Mar. 19.-Wheat scored
an early advance today. Brisk buy
ing by commission houses was the
rule. Opening quotations. which
varied from the same as yesterdays
finish to a rise of "a cents with
May $1.62 to $1.63 and July $1.44 to
$1.44R were followed by rapid
series of fluctuations that carried
May up to $1.65k.
Subsequently trade Jagged and
prices tended to sag. Speculative
selling was especially curtailed, a
result generally associated with or
ders from Washington for a sweep
ing investigation of recent violent
price changes. The close was irreg-
ular, one cent net decline to "a
cents advance, May $1.63h to $1.64
and July $1.42h to $1.42A.

And Indiana Cities

over end and devastated block after
block. ,
An Associated Press correspondent
made tour of the city at three
o'clock this morning and counted IS
wrecked automobiles all over the
city. Fires everywhere still glowed
and flared with increasing fury and
streets were filled with homeless
people.
Food is scarce in the town. What
restaurants are not wrecked are try
ing to obtain food from Carbonate.
Desoto was RACED with the excep-
ton of dozen houses, according to
D. N. Krysher, member of the Ma
tional Guard troop of Carbonate.
Smoke still poured from the de-
bris Of Murphysboro's smouldcring
ruins while it's citizens searched the
ruins for other dead. Rescue work
was greatly hampered by the fire
and it was said that many of the in
jured were cremated in the blazing
debris.
Dynamite was used here late last
night to stop the ravages of the
blazing element. The west end of the
city was completely destroyed, eth
err by wind or flames, and only
one building was left standing in
Hurst.
Parish, Ill.,, reports said, was vir-
tuafly obliterated with loss of life
estimated at 80. A score of other
towns, including Duquoin, Thompson
vile, Logan, and Dubois, suffered
severely.
One of the most pathetic reports
came from Desoto where the school
house was destroyed with heavy loss
of life. The twister carried away
the top story of the school and the
lower walls crumbled burying $50
children and teachers, few of whom
escaped death or injury.
Witnesses of the catastrophe said
that the bodies of the child victims
were piled on mattresses and blan-
kets on the playground with few to
claim them, most of the adult po-
pulation having been taken to hospi
tails. Fire completed destruction of
the school house and it was pro-
bable that many of the bodies may
not be identified.
A school building also was destroy
ed at West Frankfort but the loss Of
life has not been ascertained. This
mining town of $4,000 suffered heavy
loss of life and property with about
one third of it's residential and bus
mess district demolished. 1t also
saw the destruction of the Orient
Mine, second largest in the world.
CarbondalS, Illinois, which escaped
damage, was the rallying point of
rescue forces in the southern part of
the state. It's armory and hospitals
were filled with dead and injured,
transported there from towns in the
storms pathway.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-03-19
THOUSANDS INJURED

Carbondale, ILL.,, March 19.-Up-
wards of 1000 persons are dead and
probably 5000 injured with hundreds
of others homeless within radius
Of Is miles of this city as result
Of yesterdays tornado, according to
reports filtering in here this morn
ing.
Persons reaching here from the
stricken and devastated towns de-
clared that Murphysboro, with a po-
pulation of $4,000, report between
$50 and 300 dead, upward of 1000 in
jurcd, 1000 to 1000 homes wrecked
or burned, and 1000 to 5000 made
homeless.
At nine o'clock this morning, fire
with which the storm burned or
wrecked twenty square blocks, was
still raging, but was reported under
control after dynamite had been US
ed. One company of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard was on duty at Muir
physboro and another was reported
to be at West Frankfort.

CITY Z0NING

PROGRESS 1924

Washington, March 19.-There are
now 800 cities in the United States
which have demarked the area with
in their boundaries into zones, set
ting territory apart for exclusive use
as business, residence, industrial or
transportation property, the depart
ment of commerce reported today in
a summary Of conditions affecting
the proposal.
The most marked progress was
made in this form of city planning
during 1924, when 62 municipalities
adopted the system, fitting the zones
to the particular requirements of
their localities.
"1n adopting zoning ordinances"
the departments statement said,
"these cities, towns and villages have
sought to protect home owners, and
other land owners, in the reasonable
use of their property. Zoning seeks
so to regulate the use to which build
ings may be put, the area of the lot
which they may cover, and their
height in different sections of the
city, that the land in each district
may be used for the purposes to
which it is best suited.

nearly every state in the Union.
