CLIMATIC DISORDERS
HIT SOUTHERN FRANCE
Skies Rain Mud and Large Hail
stones, Causing Heavy Damage.
Many People Injured.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 20.-With the
skies raining mud and large hail
stones breaking thousands of windows
on the Riviera southern France had
a taste recently of the climatic dis
orders that have been sweeping over
the world. The damage is estimated
at 10000 francs in broken glass, and
several score of people cut and bruised
by the hail.
The rain of mud was the first since
1892 This phenomenon happens when
an especially violent sirocco, or hot
wind, from north Africa, heavily laden
with fine particles of sand. reaches
France at a low altitude and passes
under the rain clouds. The rain. then
carries the dust to the earth. Mud
deposits an inch deep have been dis
covered in some sections.
The casinos of Nice were the heavi-
est sufferers from the hail. The en-
tire glass front of The baccarat rooms
of the Municipal Casino was smashed
by the storm. The fire department
was forced to work all night in an at.
tempt to bail out the gaming rooms
A thousand windows in the Jetee Ca
sinO on the sea front were broken.

"COWBOY EARL" TAKES
MANSION IN ENGLAND
Regrets Leaving Ranch in Wyo
ming, But Will Plunge Into
Devonshire Affairs.

BY Gable to The Star and New York World
LONDON, Nov. 20.-Devonshire is
rejoicing over the return of one of it's
feudal lords, who had scarcely been
expected in permanent official resi-
dence again.
The Cowboy Earl of Portsmouth,
who arrived at Plymouth this week
Immediately proceeded to his family
mansion Morchard Bishop. The Earl
speaks regretfully of his ranch and
friends in Wyoming. but declares he
must relinquish his American citizen
ship in order to take seat in the
House of Lords where he is anxious
to continue his fathers work.
1t looks as though formalities will
delay taking the seat for consider
able time-perhaps four or five years
and as the Earl is now sixty-five,
he laughingly admits he will prob
ably be too old for useful legislative
work However. in the meantime he
intends throwing himself into county
and local work, and admits he will
find strange a country where Earls
are not expected to rise at five-thirty,
and can find little to do until their
neighbors are out of bed.

house, while the resources OF the
colony, said to run into hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, are being mar
shaled to his defense.
Believe He Is Immortal.
There are many in Benton Harbor
who say Purnell never will be brought
to trial. Outside the colony many
hold the belief death will cheat the
law. The colony members, however,
have been taught to believe Benjamin
is immortal and that he could extend
immortality to his followers. When
death has visited the colony the
stricken one has been taken out un-
mourned and unsung and Benjamin
has explained that 1t was the penalty
for disregard Of his teachings. Such
was the passing of Coy Purnell. son
Of Benjamin and Mary, the seventh
messengers" wife and queen"
Benjamin came out of the Ken
lucky foothills, a wandering evange
list, nearly 80 years ago. Previously
he had been a boy preacher, a house
painter, railroad tunnel watchman and
follower Of an earlier King Benja

their property over to him and that
no compensation was allowed for
their work.
This was the suit of John W.
Hanse and his wife. seeking $4,000.
They were awarded S2SO00 1t was
at this court proceeding that charges
of immortality were made against
Purnell
Several young woman witnesses
testified they had been summoned
into Purnel's chamber by one of the
older women of the colony and sub
jected to blood purifying rites" 1t
was also charged that Benjamin Sc
lected husbands for the young wom-
an members of the colony and then
forbade them to live together.
1t was at this time that Purnell
disappeared.

Removal of the temporary wooden

The Commissioners acted upon
the recommendation of Traffic Di-

since the safety lights have been

an ample period in which to cross
the street without stopping in the

The results Of the game were given

the eleventh district; Ernest Smith,
DR.. J. c. Merriam, president of the
Carnegie Institution; William Horsely,
James MacLafferty, assistant to Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover, and DR..
Margaret Alltucker.
Dr. Merriam, in brief talk,
praised athletics as having an i'm
portant function in the development
of patriotism, or group spirit.
However" he warned, this group
spirit and enthusiasm for athletics
may be Overdone. In the develop
ment of athletics we have something
which may either be of great value
or a great detriment to the colleges.
1t is hard for an athlete to give a
balanced amount of time to both
athletics and studies. We must find
some way to make the development
of the mind paramount in the Amer
lean college and still keep athletics.
If not, the universities will become
the high schools of the country and
some other type of institution will
arise to care for those who seek
higher learning"
Those in charge of the banquet
were Mrs. Remington Kellogg. Fred
A. Rasch. James G. Gretherton, Mrs
Augustus F. Dannemiller, Mrs. Char
lotte Elliott, Miss Harlean James

KANSAS CITY. November 20
Senator James A. Reed, Democrat,
Missouri, chairman of the Senate cam
paign funds committee, tonight called
upon H. R. Walmsley Of Kansas CITY,
former State legislator, to appear De-
fore him Monday to present evidence
relating to rumors of the expenditure
of a huge sum of money by the local
Democratic organization in the NO
vember election.
Walmsley said tonight that ne
would appear as directed, but that he
had no direct evidence.
Senator Reed said he had received
a telegram from Senator McNary OF
Oregon, quoting various charges
Walmsley had made in a letter to
Senator Norris. Republican, Nebraska.
Substance of Charges.
In substance, Mr.. Reed said, the
charges alleged to have been made
by Walmsley were, that on the last
election day a vast stream or money
flowed from the so-called Democratic
machine to carry the election or Mr..
Halves successful Democratic sena-
torial candidate) and that the Kansas
City Railways Co. gave to the Demo
cratic campaign fund to be used In the
election at Kansas City a sum vari-
ously estimated at between $25O,OOO
and $750.000; and that this money was
paid In return for a 12-year extension
of the railways franchise"
The franchise extension was voted
by the Democratic majority or the
city council about a week before

ously attacked by Republican cam
paign speakers.
Acted on Common Gossip"
Walmsley declared he had made no
charges, but had asked dis1nter-
ested investigation because of "com-
mon gossip" as to conditions In the
election here.
II know Of no direct evidence 1 can
give" he said "but fraud was ap-
parent on the face Of the returns and
common gossip was that money was
used.
"A One-man Democratic committee
to investigate frauds of which the
Democratic party was the beneficiary
Is not likely to be q disinterested

tor Reed knew anything about 1t,
but still I do not see how he could
be disinterested." Senator Reed In
his lette4. advised Walmsley that he
had full authority to hold this In
vestigation as a subcommittee of the
general committee appointed by the
Vice President pursuant to the action
of the Senate
