twenty-five persons were known
to have been killed and more
than 100 injured in a series OF
tornadoes that swept East Texas,
North Louisiana and South Ar
kansas during the night.
Torrential rains which fol-
lowed the storms, making travel
impossible and disrupting COM
munication lines, made a COM
plete check of fatalities 1mpos-
gible.
The first storm struck Lindale,
Tex, in southern Smith county,
killing two persons and injuring
several. Jumping into nearby
kaufman county, the twiSter de-
molished several houses and in
dured four persons at Mabank.
Succession Of Twisters
In rapid succession, winds OF
hurricane force struck other Sec

Five persons were killed in An
gelina county. Four were resi-
dents of Huntington, and one was

were treated at emergency hos

Many Homes Wrecked
Seven persons are known to
have been killed in southern Shelby

EIGHTEENTH AME ND MENT NO w OUT OF
 CONSTITUTION
Thirty-six States Have Act. ed Favorably on Repeal Utah Clinches Ma
 tional Wet Parade

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.- The Eighteenth Amendment has been voted out of the Constitution in off-year elec- tions with liquor being legal in 19 States when the last step in repeal is taken on December , or December 6.
 Penns vania, Ohio and Utah, on the basis of early returns, voted for repeal thus lining up the full 36 States needed for killing the Eigh- teenth Amendment.
 North and South Carolina, the former by a heavy vote, were the first States to step out of line in the wet parade and voted to retain the Eigh- teenth Amendment. The mar gin in the latter State for dry is small.
 Counting of ballots in Kentucky began at 10 o'clock this morning, as required by the State law but repealists confidently predict the Blue Grass State has joined the repeal march.
 Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah hold ratifying conventions on December 5. If Kentucky votes for repeal National Prohibition ends on that date becau,e of that States con- vention on November 27. Otherwise repeal will be delayed until De- cember when Maine ratifies re- peal.
 Defeat Conceded
 Dry leaders conceded defeat in Utah before half of the precincts were heard from The vets made further gains iN later returns giy- ing the State slie distinction ot being the inirty-sixt4l State to vote for ratification
 Ohio piled up 60o,O0o DIS jier..cy for repeal although it Is the birthplace of the Anti-Saloon League and Prohibition movement.
 Pennsylvania gave a to l vote for repeal.
 All other than the 19 States where liquor may be legally sold, have either constitutional or sta- tutory Prohibition and repeal of National Constitutional Prohibition leaves them unaffected. Thirty three States were dry when Pro- hibition was adopted. Now only 29 States will be dry

BRADLEY TO bED'CR00T TELLS CHAMBER GUEST HIS OWN STORY TOMORROW NOON ABOUT SHOOTING
Takes Stand in Own De- ense Today and Tells of
 Killing Abe Hanson

Harold DeGroot, taking the stand on his own behalf this morning in the Federal District Court, told his story leading up to the fatal shooting of Abe Hanson last March for which he is now being tried on an indictment charging him with murder in the first degree He admitted he went to Hanson's place on Chichagof Island for the purpose of taking away his wife and that he had been at least partly foiled in that attempt.
 He shot Hanson on the gasboat Wa Wa at Chichagof, he said. because he feared his life was at stake and only after Hanson made motions of drawing a revolver that he had carried continuously for two-day period during which both DeGroot and his wife assert ed the defendant had been re- peatedly threatened with death.
 Government Case Brief
 The Governments case in chief was brief. It called but one wit ness, R. B. Doc) McIver, who is the owner of the boat on which the killing was done and who was present at the time but did not see the shooting. His testimony was completed shortly after the noon recess yesterday.
 Five defense witnesses were called to the stand yesterday af- ternoon, including McIver, Louis Smith, United States Commissioner at Chichagof, George Jones, Dep uty United States Marshal, Wal ter Ulrich and Mrs DeGroot. MT. Smith testified to the preliminary investigation following the shoot ing. MT. Jones told of finding a revolver aboard the Hanson boat, with which the defense claims Hanson had previously threatened DeGroot and which he had worn continuously for two days preced- ing the shooting, a blackjack and an old. rusty rifle. Ulrich, mem Der of the crew of the Wa Wa, told of reporting the shooting to the Commissioner.

2 CAROLINAS
 BREAK AWAY
 WET COLUMN
Two States Are First to Vote Retention of
 Amendment
PREDICTIONS ARE
 GENERALLY UPSET
While Results Favor Re- publicans, Vote Not Re-
 volt Against F. D. R.

CHARLOTTE. North Carolina, Nov 8-A dry victory in North Carolina and what apparently is one in South Carolina, gave the first break in the wet column and the two States are the first to go on record for retention of the Eighteenth Amendment since Con- gress submitted the question
 This confounded most of the prognosticators in the size of the North Carolina dry majority which was unforeseen by any of the prophets while in South Carolina the rejection by feather-edge margin was in contradiction of most predictions.
 Explanation Given
 In explaining the South Caro- lima outcome, Romulus Reese, Sec retary of the Association for Pro- hibition Reform, said the repealists were just too sure of repeal and the voters did not turn out"
 In North Carolina, Jake Newell, Republican leader, asserted the re- suit in reality was Republican victory with every county with nor- nal Republican strength giving a huge majority to the dry cause.
 Senator J. w. Bailey, repeal ad- vocate in North Carolina, said "the result in no sense is revolt against President Roosevelt. He would carry the State today by an even larger majority than given him last year. One explanation is that the drys began an earlier cam paign in the two States than the others and worked harder than the repeal advocates who took the re- suit as a foregone conclusion"

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. B. Ringing another verbal attack at Henry Ford, Gen. Hugh s. John son, MIRA Administrator, last night turned from his speech here in deploring the Midwest farm strike to threaten, if necessary, the "chis- elers and gougers under the Re- covery Act with the Administra- tion's big stick.
 Addressing a throng in the City Auditorium, the MIRA Chieftain counseled patience in support so the President can flick this ghast- ly farm disparity
 Is Not Dictator
 Referring to the recent charge he had assumed the airs of Dic- tator, Johnson said: "This charge happened to come from a man who is intrenched in what he re- gards as an impregnable economic position of wealth and power and he has exercised most ruthless economic QlCUdtOTS1llp.
 Administrator Johnson declar- ed the farm strike helped the ene- mics of MIRA in their fight against any effort of recovery. This na- tion acts as one man to pull it. self out of the depression and helps fight the enemies of NRA in their cynical belief they can always play the farmer for a sucker"
 Urges Support
 Urging support of President Roosevelt, Gen. Johnson asked his hearers to back him to the limit and let nothing happen to give aid and comfort to his enemies which are yours Let us pull to- eether or it is certain as sunrise we are going to be pulled down separately"
 Gen. Johnson declared that IN RA offers nothing but protection against chiseling and racketeerlng in this country. MIRA strengthens the rule of majority. It has put four million people back to work. I am not going to see 1t lose py any great plans and propaganda of chiselers."

MAN IS SUBJECT
FOR SCIENCE
CHURCHES

"Man" is the subject Of the
lesSon-sermon in all the Churches
of the Christ, Scientist, tomor-
row. The Golden Text is from
Micah 6:8:
"He hath showed thee, o
man, what is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee
but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly
with thy God?"
Among the citations which
comprise the lesson-sermon is
the following from the Bible:
"And there came a Ieper to
him, beseeching him, and
kneeling down to him, and
saying unto him, if thou wilt,
thou canSt make me clean.
And Jesus, moved with COM
passion, put forth his hand,
and touched him, and saith
unto him, 1 will; be thou
clean. And as soon as he
had spoken, Immediately the
leprOsy departed from him, and
he was cleanSed." mark 1:40
-42O
The lesson-sermon also in
cludes the following passage
from the Christian Science Text
Book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy:
"JeSuS beheld in Science the
perfect man, who appeared to
him where SHINING mortal man
appears to mortalS. In this
perfect man the Saviour saw
Gods own likeness, and this
correct view of man healed the
sick" page 476.)
