man, and Pete Gallagher Of Plen-
tywood, secretary.
The committee then decided
unanimously that the first steps
TO be taken was to open negotia-
tons Immediately with the Union
Central Life Insurance company
of Cincinnati, asking that company
to send special representative to
meet with the committee for the
purpose of negotiating an amicable
settlement based upon restoration
of CaHahan's home and farm to
him upon the basis of the agree
ment which the company had made
with Callahan in the fall of 1888.
And then if these efforts failed,
to take such other steps as the
committee may then decide upon.
Acting upon this decision, a
telegram was sent to the Union
CentraIs attorneys at Billings re-
questing that they contact the
Company and request that the spe-
cial representative be sent to meet
with the committee. The commit
tee also sent an air mail letter to
the Union CentraTs head office at
Cincinnati, reviewing the facts of
the case and demanding that a
settlement be negotiated. Copies
Of this letter were sent to the
Company's attorneys at Billings,
Letters were also mailed to Ar
thur Blase, Emanuel States, both
Of Redstone, and to Carl Bull at
Wolf Point. Copies Of all letters
were also mailed to the Holiday
officials throughout the state, sc
that mass action can be taker
against the Central Life Insurance
company if necessary.

FRENCH COMMUNISTS
GAIN IN ELECTIONS

PARIS, April 28.-Communist gains in
the chamber of deputies election yesterday,
along with the prospect of leftist victory
in next Sundays runoffs, caused French
issues to sag heavily today on the bourse.
Financial authorities anxiously specu-
lated whether the new chamber, with
majority possibly more radical than here
tofore, might not drag the franc to de-
valuation.
The stock markets slump was attribut-
ed to uneasiness over the outcome of the
runoffs, when many communist, socialist
and radical socialist candidates are ex--
pected to withdraw to give victory to the
strongest candidates in their peoples

COURT BLOCKS
RACE TRACK

Action Of the United States
Court Of Appeals for the District
Of Columbia today forestallS ef.
fectively the plan Of the Miami
Beach Jockey Club to provide a
200-acre race course on filled-in
land on Biscayne Bay.
In a unanimous opinion written
by Associate Justice D. Lawrence
Groner the court upheld the Secre-
tary Of War in revoking a dredg-
ing permit to build the island on
grounds that such an island in
BiScayne Bay would interfere with
navigation.
The Jockey club had purchased
the submerged land from the Le-
Gro Properties which had been
granted a permit. About one
month before the jockey club was
to begin its operations under the
assigned permit, a group Of prop.
erty owners on Biscayne lodged a
protest with the Secretary Of War,
who reconSidered the question and
then revoked the permit.
It was claimed In the jockey
club suit that Biscayne Bay is not
navigable in its natural state:
that the Secretary of War has no
jurisdiction over the bay and that
his action in revoking the permit
was caprtcious and arbitrary.

that the number was over 100.
Hundreds Injured
No accurate estimate Of the
number Of injured could be made,
as scores of the injured had been
taken to surrounding towns. Many
of them were taken to Pontotoc,
Emory, Aberdine and Houston.
Striking in the Willis Heights
suburb, the storm took a north
easterly course through the heart
Of the residential section, splinter
ing the buildings as though they
were made Of cardboard.
Hospital Hit
The city hospital was badly
damaged, with lost Of the roof be-
ing blown off. The building was
declared unsafe, and the patients
there were removed to emergency
hospitals.
Most of the churches were either
demolished or badly damaged. The
city hall, the courthouse and the
few churches left standing were
turned into emergency hospitals.
A theater was converted into an
operating room, and there doctors
applied their surgical skill to the
most seriously injured.
Every doctor and nurse in the
city was pressed into service as
soon as the storm abated. But they
were unable to cope with the situa-
ton, and hurried calls for aid
were sent to nearby towns and
cities.
BY $3.50 a. m. at least 50 doc
tors had answered the call for
aid and were working side by side
with the local doctors, bringing
medical relief to the suffering. Re-
lief workers were pouring into the
city.
Several National Guardsmen al
ready were on duty. At least $50
others were reported en- route to
the stricken city from nearby
towns.
Red Cross officials sped here
from Memphis, bringing with
them additional doctors and med
ical supplies and food and cloth
ing for the homeless.
The iva rushed approximately
100 men to aid in the relief work.

Fire, which broke out in the
debris, added to confusion Of the

debris cast an eerie light over the

will demand concessions consider

greater than those in the Hoare-
Laval proposals Of December.
These proposals. which would
have taken more than one-half Of
Ethiopia away and given it either
outright to Italy or placed it
under League control. were
dropped because of European
public opinion, which regarded
them as too favorable to Italy.
Today's blast in La Tribuna was
considered especially significant in
view Of the fact the League Of
Nations Committee of Thirteen,
the body handling the present
phase Of Italo- Ethiopian negotia-
lions, Is meeting in Geneva We'd
