thousands in the south dug away
Wreckage after a tornado twisted
from Alabama into Georgia, killing
at least seven persons and leaving
a trail of desolation.
The southern storm, preceded by
drenching rain, dipped to earth at
widely separated points in Alabama
and Georgia. Damage was heavy
in the two states, but had not been
estimated today.
Five Negro school children were
killed at Merrellton, Ala, when the
tornado struck a church being used
as a classroom and wrecked it.
SchO0lhOuse Struck
At MaxWellborn, Ala, a few miles
from Merrellton, several houses were
razed as the storm dipped.
The tornado speeded in a north
westerly direction and next struck
at Oostanaula, Ca, injuring five
persons and demolishing five houses.
A school building, crowded with
children, was tipped from it's foun-
dation and turned around, but none
of the pupils was injured.
At Wilson, N. c., farm buildings
were RACED and trees uprooted.
One death was caused by light

demolishing the house and killing
him.
At Quincy, ILL.,, the Mississippi
river continued to pour through two
large levee breaks, inundating more
than twenty thousand acres of rich
bottom land.
Large Areas Flooded
Uneasiness was felt along the
Mississippi from st. Louis south to-

Large areas of bottom land in Ten

SHOWDOWN IN BATTLE

IS SCHEDULED MONDAY

by the commissioners for connpe-
tency and without regard to polit-
ical affiliations. Williams is a Re-
publican.
Custer proceedings must be with
a hearing and charges of ''ineffi-
cheney, malfeasance or neglect of
duty" sustained.
Friends scout the idea of Williams
not fighting and cite his record in
attacks under the Jackson regime as
an example of his battling
proclivities.
Desertion of many former sup
porter6 among material men and
contractors they attribute to "busi-
ness reasons" They declare that
many of these former friends feel
that Williams is as good as gone
and they want to be, right with
the incoming administration.
Defend Williams
He is reported to be well prepared
to stand by his guns and demand a
hearing, contending that he is not
guilty of "inemciency, malfeasance
or neglect of duty.
Defenders of Williams also con-
tend now that the Secrecy surround
ing commission meetings was a
policy of commissioners and not the
director.
Numerous changes of commission
ers we're made during the seven
years that Williams has held office,
but there was never any change in
this system.

SINKSI BRITISH
rum RUNNER
Crew in Irons Aboard u. S.
Vessels After Chase in
Mid Gulf.
END C0L0RFUL HISTORY
Ship Had Defied U. S. on
Atlantic Coast Before
Moving South.

PASCAGOULA, Miss, March %.
The crew of the British auxiliary
schooner, I'm Alone, of Belize were
being taken to New Orleans in irons
today aboard tho coast guard cutter
Dexter which fired upon and sank
their schooner Friday in the belief
tnat 1t was a rum runner.
Some members of the crew were
reported to have been taken aboard
the Walcott, sister ship which took
part in thrilling chase in the Gulf
OF Mexico, ending in the sinking of
the British ship.
Arriving at New orleans, the Dex-
ter and the Walcott will deliver
their prisoners to customs officials
who probably will charge them with
rum running.
One Life Lost in Fight
One man, a Negro, lost his life in
the sinking of the I'm Alone, but
coast guardsmen did not know
whether he had been killed by bull
let's or drowned. A member of the
Dexter's crew received a broken arm
when struck by the recoil of his
gun.
In the past three or four years
coast guard vessels have frequent-
ly spotted the schooner LIN Alone
in New England waters and she was
known to be a rum runner.
Recently the schooner transferred
its operation to the Gulf coast. IN
asmuch as the I'm Alone was over
taken by the two cutters within
territorial waters Of the United
States, the coast guard was well
within its rights, in firing on the
| British schooner.
Hhe Walcott hailed the I'm Alone
near Divinity Shoals off the Louisi-
ana coast early Friday, but the
British shop refused to heave to.
Several shots were fired by the Wal
colts three-inch guns.
The I'm Alone headed for open
sea under auxiliary motor power and
the Walcott gave pursuit, meanwhile
radioing coast guard headquarters
here for instructions. The local base
communicated with Washington and
was told to either capture or sink
the I'm Alone.
Orders were reIayed to the Dexter
and Dallas, other coast guard cut
ters in the vicinity, to aid in the
chase. The Dexter, anticipating the
I'm Alone was headed for some Cen
tral or South American port, cut in
ahead and intercepted her.
Ends CoIorfuI Career
The Walcott was in close pursuit.
the Dallas cutting off the schooner's
escape in one direction and athe
Dexter closed in from another at
the same time bringing her guns
into play. The I'm Alone was shot
through the hull and sank a few
minutes later.
The sinking Of the I'm Alone
ended a colorful career of the sus-
pected rum runner and smuggler.
The schooner had given coast guard
boats trouble for several years. To-
day she rested at the bottom Of
what is known as "Sigsbee's deep"
in mid-gulf.
Older officers here say the I'm
Alone had died American authority
before. They told Of having chased
her on the Atlantic coast and Of
stirring tales of her attempts to
smuggle aliens, narcotics and con-
traband liquors. Several times be-
fore she had been encountered in
the gulf and forced to put back
into Belize, British Honduras.

His morning chores half com.

his farm early this morning.
The body, suspended from a raft

and Russell Barton, a neighbor.
Staperton had climbed up a high
step ladder, adjusted the rope, and
kicked the ladder down.
Deputy Coroner o. H. Bakemeier

health, apparently was prosperous,
