problem in which the knights OF
Columbus feel very deeply. He an
nounced tho convention would reaf.
firm the stand taken at the 1925

ing to the United States government

Mexico. I'VE have never urged ia.
tervention. but We have voiced oul
protest emphatically," he said.
Carmody also announced that thu
Knights, who number 700, 900 mem.
bers in the country would not par.
ticipate in the forthcoming election
campaign.
"Ths Knights Of Columbus posi-.
lively Will not endorse Governor Al.

Minimum Wage for
State Workers is
Urged in Minnesota

Winona, Mimi, Aug. 21.-R-The
state should adopt . minimum wage
for all workers on its construction
jobs. the Minnesota state federation
Of labor was told by its legislative
committee today.
Such . standard IL necessary, IN
the opinion Of committee members,
according to Frank 7. Starkey Of st.
Paul, chairman, because in times Of
industrial depression and plentiful
supply Of labor, contractors doing
work for the state are able to force
wages too low for fair standard Of
living.
The federation was told that Z
minimum wage should be % much .
part Of specifications for contract
as materials. The state should de-
termine wages In accordance with
conditions prevailing at the time of
work.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 2l.-R-
Death of two persons and unesti-
mated property damage was the
known toll Of a tornado that struck
at Twin Lakes, north Of Rockwell
City in Calhoun county, yesterday
evening, and was accompanied by
general wind and rain storms over
northern and eastern Iowa.
A two months old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Neaubauer was
killed and other members Of the
family were injured when a terrific
wind razed their home, demolishing
virtually all other buildings on the
place. The baby was lifted from her
crib and borne to a field outside
where the body was found after sew
eral hours of search.
Scars Of destruction marked by
demolished farm buildings and dam.
aged crops, were traced last night
from the resort at Twin Lakes
through the southern portion OF
Hamilton county. Apparently the
same tornado, travelling eastward
about z p. m. was responsible for
the damage.
The winds force was also felt at
Nevada, where one house was moved
Oft its foundation and others were
damaged and from Marshalltown
came brief reports Of trees blown
over by wind of short duration.
Telephone communication was
temporarily disrupted into many
portions Of north and east Iowa, but
a downpour Of rain drenched al
least part of the eastern counties.
The tornado's victims 1t Twin
Lakes were Stella Powell, Is, Of
Traer, and her sister, Mrs. George
Speer, so. Of Havelock. The storm
struck while they were in a resort
cottage, which was demolished, with
nearly score of other buildings on
the east side Of the lake.
Flattened corn fields and scattered
shocks Of small grain, as well as
damaged farm buildings, were re.
ported in Hamilton county. starting
near Stratford, and continuing south
OF Jewell, past Ellsworth to Rad.

also added to the dam. .ge at Larch.
wood and near Rock Rapids.
At Radcliffe five persons were
slightly injured, it was reported, and
near Jewell, q Mrs. Swcnson and
her son were reported bruised.
Wind-driven rain at West Branch
was reported to have swept away
street decorations in honor Of Her.
bert Hoover's visit there today. and
to have flooded the streets. West
Branch is located on . graveled
highway, bu. f-om appearances the
soaked ground would inconvenience
the large crowds expected during the
visit Of the Republican nominee.
During the storm at West Branch

ported exceptionally; heavy rains.
