TORNADO KILLS $50, DESTROYS
TOWNS IN 5 SOUTHERN STATES
ONE OF. WORST IN HISTORY
THOUSANDS HOMELESS
AND INJURED

More than $50 are dead, 400 be-
ing treated in hospitals and 9TH
ers at private homes, 10000 home
less, as a result of a tornado that
did damage in five states Monday
afternoon. The storm centered a.
round Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and it
was there that the greatest loss of
live and most property damage
was found. The Red Cross is TAX
ing charge of the situation and has
sent out a call for 5000, 600 to be
used for immediate relief.
In addition to the damage by
wind, there was considerable fire
loss, Goals being blown about and
the embers famed by the wind.
Newspaper correspondents tell of
the utter desolation of the devasted
area. There were several instances
where entire families were wiped
out, and other cases of miraculous
escape.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hammett re-
ported they drove their automo-
bile into the cyclone near Syla-
cauga, Ala. Their car was hurled
into the air and landed upright
eight feet from the road. Windows
of the machine were shattered and
the switch key was broken off the
lock, but the Hammetts escaped
injury.
Loses Second Wife
Luther Kelley of nea Sylacau-
ga, lived to tell of the death of
his second wife in a cyclone.
Mrs. Kelley was killed when the
storm struck their home last night.
The first Mrs. Kelley met a SINH
lar fate in 1917.
Many of the deaths at North
port, Ala, were attributed to fly
ing lumber, picked up by the wind
from a lumber yard and catapult-
ed through the town.
The high winds wrought consid-
cradle damage in Atlanta, blowing
down telephone and power lines.
One man was killed when he caIne
in contact with a broken high volt
age power line in Decatur. Atlanta
suburb.
At Tuscaloosa, Ala, University
of Alabama buildings, unchanged
by the storm, were turned into re-
lief centers when the Druid city
hospital was filled to Overlooking.
The university dormitories and
gymnasium became emergency
hospitals.
Children, lost from their parents,
about the town. Some
were sheltered on upstairs sleeping
porches at a fraternity house.
Parents who escaped besieged
the refuge spots, the hospitals, the
college structures, seeking their
children.
One strange story was that OF
the nine children left at home by
the Latham family at Planters i
Vile. near Atlanta, Ga. Six OF
them were killed outright in the
storm which leveled their home.
The smallest baby was blown a.
wav. II had not been found at day
light. Two others were in critical
condition. {

CRIME SLUMP
HERE SHOWN IN
POLICE REPORT
Big Drop in Year in Stolen
Property; Arrests
Are Fewer.

Crime in Indianapolis has been
gripped by depression, it was re-
veaIed today in police statistics, an
nounced by Chief Mike Morrissey.
With a drop of more than $4,000
in the value of property stolen
throughout the year and slump in
the number Of arrests, MorTissey de-
clared local crime is on the wane.
In announcing official figures for
major crimes for the year, including
Tuesday, Morrissey expressed elation
over the drop in crime.
Drop in Arrests
Fewer arrests mean less crime,
and, in less than two years, the
police department has cut the thefts
more than S700,O00," Morrissey said.
The relieved crime situation is
based on fast and accurate police
work and prosecution, the police
radio and the citys method Of pro-
viding relief for the needy. The
latter has halted the impulse Of
stealing to eat"
Arrests so far in 1882 total 1921
as compared to 1878 last year, &C
cording to Morrissey's figures.
Less Stolen Property
This year thieves have stolen
property valued at $713,81578, which
is less, by $312,S4053, than last
year, Morrissey said. But, despite
the fact that the property thefts
were approximately three-quarters
of a million dollars, records reveal
that Of this amount, police this
year have found and returned $780,
218.28 worth of goods to the right
full owners.
According to the department
records, stolen property in 1881
amounted to $1,026,056.31 and in
1890 it was more than $1,5OO0OO.
The number of automobiles stolen
in Indianapolis this year is ST. less
than in 1881 and the number of bur-
glary cases have dropped from 2,146
in 1881 to 1925 this year.
Murder Level Maintained
Murders remained at the same
level with thirty committed both
years, according to the record. Rob
berries dropped from $50 last year to
$40 for 1882, the department chart
) shows.
Complaints on cases of assault and
battery with intent to kill, however,
showed an increase with 233 regis
tered for 1882 compared to TT last
! year.
Grand larceny cases showed in
creased, with 1,648 reported this
year, while 1921 were on the police
records last year. Some auto theft
cases are included in the 1882 data.

Opposition

CHRONICLERS of parliamentary
~ and legislative exploits love to
relate how small minorities have
out-generaled and out-maneuvered
overwhelming majorities, through
the past.
But it takes leadership (and with
a capital ID to turn the trick.
From all indications, the Repub-
lican minority of nine in the house
and seven in the senate is not 60
ing to be so we'll provided in the
matter of leadership.
In fact, they tell me, this quality
will be noticeable by its absence.
A few weeks ago seven of the nine
G.. o. P. Representatives met at
Muncie and elected H. H. Bert)
Evans, of Newcastle as their leader
for the coming session.
The Republican senators are to
meet today and go through the same
procedure.
None of the senators seem anxious
for the honor, and it may go by
default to Lonzo L. Shull Of Sharps-
vile.
Which doesn't look so we'll for
those who delight in telling stories
about parliamentary battles and
strategy.
In fact, the Democrats will be
without strong opposition, which al
ways. is bad. 1t creates in them an
irresistible urge to squabble among
themselves.
Democrats love to fight-even in
the lean years there always was a
feud under way in which all were at
liberty to participate.
Putting ninety Democratic repre-
sentatives in one room and expect
ing things to move smoothly is as
futile as starting a disarmament
conference and expecting disarma-
ment,
If the Republicans had smart
leadership, they would know how tc
turn this almost certain scrimmag-
ing to the discontinue of the ma
jority and the benefit of the minor
ity But smart leadership from the
minority would be a miracle.
Even Technocracy whatever that
ma be- doesn't provide for miracles
The first bobble that Evans anc
Shull are sure to make will be over
the matter of repeal of the Wright
law. Both are drys of record, vot-
ing against any liberalization meas
ures in previous sessions, and sc
will oppose bitterly any change.

BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Stocks
suffered another sinking spell near
the close of trading Friday. Prices
slipped below their previous closing
levels after several attempts to move
into higher ground.
Moderate early gains we're wiped
out in the last hour selling and
similar sized losses substituted in
most of the leaders. The decline
was orderly and a few stocks were
able to recover from their lows be-
fore the finish.
Desire of traders to take profits
was the principal factor in the SELL
ing, many Of them having been dis
couraged with the action of the
market in not moving into higher
ground when selling relaxed at the
opening.
After holding nervously at or
slightly above their previous clos
ing levels through much of the day,
leaders broke abruptly as the SEES
sion swung into the fifth hour.
Steel Is Leader in Dip
Trading volume increased with
the late decline in prices. but sales
for the day were well below the &C
tive 5,400, 000-Share pace of the pre-
vious session. Dealings also were
more orderly and tickers were able
to keep abreast of the market most
of the time.
United States Steel furnished
leadership for the decline, dropping
a point to around the 48 level late
in the session after selling as high
as SOS. Many traders wanted to
be out of the market pending pub
lication Saturday noon of the cor
poration'S untitled order statistics
for August. Other pivotal shares
quickly followed the leader, Allied
Chemical and United Aircraft drop
ping more than two points each and
American Telephone more than a
point. Losses in general did not run
much beyond three points and these
only occurred in the more volatile
issues like Auburn.
Autos Move Down
Most of the amusement and au-
tomobile stocks which have bene-
flied from an active outside de-
mand Slumped with the rest of the
market toward the close. Rails,
which made several attempts to
move ahead in the early dealings,
fell back but losses were small.
Coppers held around their opening
levels, which represented losses of
more than a point.
Before the late selling wave, bulls
made several unsuccessful attempts
to start the market forward by con-
certed buying movements in a few
of the leaders. When these failed
to attract a following, the slump
came. Steadiness in grains and
moderate rally in cotton failed to
help.
