PRESIDENT TO HEAR
D. C. HEALTH STATUS

The problem Of public health in the
District. for the betterment of which
a committee Of doctors and citizens
has been campaigning since mid-Jan-
uary, today was to be brought by the
same group to the attention of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
During a meeting at the District
Medical Society Building, the Civic
Committee on Public Health, as its
latest move in the long struggle to
increase the appropriation for public
health purposes in the Capital, voted
last night to seek White House agree
ment to United States Public Health
Service survey Of health conditions
here.
This action was taken at the sug.
gestion of DR.. Prentiss Wilson, who
pointed out that inclusion Of the
findings Of such study In the Dis
trict's application for funds next year
would make the Budget Bureau more
amenable to increasing its recommen-
dations to Congress on the health
item.

the Army and Navy have never caused
war. They have stayed out Of politics
and always considered themselves as
public servants, he said.
Prof. Wright and Representative
Boilcau, who spoke at the opening ses-
sion, disagreed on the question of ma
tional defense. While the teacher
urged an Army and Navy Of full
strength, the Congressman advocated
complete reorganization of the two
forces into department of national
defense" and elimination of all activi-
ties designed primarily for aggressive
war.
Boileau also advocated legislation to
provide for universal conscription of
all men and materials In case Of war.

Hoping against hope that some
error had been made in the identi-
fications of storm dead at Gaines
VILE, Ca, two sorrowing Washing
tonians were to arrive today in the
stricken Southern town, where a
total of IL of their relatives were
reported killed.
The death lists carry the names

and sister-in-law of Miss Elizabeth
Ellis, 1893 Twentieth street.
Grigg and Miss Ellis left Washing

by a later report that her brother
Clarence had not been killed, but was
in hospital. There is no correction,
however, in the report about Clar-
ence Ellis wife.

FLOODS FOLLOW
STORM IN SOUTH
South Carolina Rivers Ex-
pected to Duplicate Dis
aster of 1903.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A warning of grave food danger was
served on sections Of the storm-torn
South today as the American Red
Cross counted 500 persons dead from
tornadoes in that region and redoubled
efforts to raise relief funds.
The Weather Bureau reported riv-
ers in South Carolina were above food
stage, and probably would reach the
highest levels since their disastrous
rampage of 1908. Floods in some
sections Of North Carolina also were
predicted. Oflcials said from three
| to four inches Of rain had fallen with
in the last "a hours over a narrow
strip from Atlanta, Ga, to Raleigh,
N. G.
Striving to care for the victims Of
the storm and preparing to aid in the
food-threatened area, the Red Cross
appealed to its chapters throughout
the country 10 continue soliciting re-
lief funds. Approximately $3.50, 900
has been raised since the recent East
ern floods began. but officials said this
would be insufficient to meet the new
demands.
At the War Department, word was
received from Maj. Gen. George Van
Horn Moseley, conlmandant of the
4th Corps Area at Atlanta, that all
Army supplies were available for use
when necessary in the tornado-strick-
en- communities.
He reported three c. C. c. COM
panies were assisting in cleaning up at
Tupelo, Miss, one c. c. c. company al
ready had been assigned to Gaines
vile, Ga, and the use Of another COM
pany had been authorized If needed,
and that the Governors Of Alabama
and Georgia had been given permis-
sion to use National Guard property
when necessary.
Heavy Floods" Expected.
The Weather Bureau warning of
overf1ows in the Raleigh district stress
ed that very heavy floods" might be
expected on the Cape Fear and Neuse
Rivers.

VIEWS Divergent
ON PEACE MEANS
Legislators and Educators
Give Talks at G. w.
Convocation.

Divergent views as to the most ef-
fective means of maintaining world
peace were expressed by prominent
legislators and educators at a peace
convocation held al George Washing
ton University yesterday, on the nine
teenth anniversary Of Americas en-
trance into the war to end wars"
Most Of the speakers agreed that
Government control Of the arms and
munitions industries Is essential, and
that more adequate neutrality legisla-
ton must be adopted II America is to
stay out Of war. The question Of ma
tional defense, however, brought forth
contradictory expressions, one speaker
advocating a skeleton" Army and
Navy. others urging maintenance Of
national defense TO the limits per-
mitted by the country's international
obligations.
Three Steps Held Necessary.
Senator Schwellenbach. .)emocrat Of
Washington, said the United States
must take these three steps to pre-
serve peace: Q) Establish a definite
policy Of staying out Of the affairs
of other countries; (2) Adopt a ma
tional policy not to protect Americas
trade and people all over the world,
and (9 take over the arms and mu-
nitions industries.
Other speakers were Representative
Maverick, Democrat Of Texas; Repre-
sentative Boileau, Progressive, of Wis
consin; Dean Elmer Louis Layser, uni
versity marshal; Prof. Herbert Wright
Of Catholic University, DR.. William
r. Stone Of the Foreign Policy Asso-
citation, DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, pres
ident Of the university. and Col. DON
aid Armstrong, U. s. A.
When q large nation Is forced by
economic necessity to extend its terri
tory, and other nations refuse to give
their consent, war is inevitable, Sen
ator Schwellenbach declared. He ad-
vised against United States entry into
the League Of Nations, because the
League rests on an unsound law-the
Versailles Treaty"
New World War Foreseen.
DR.. Stone said he felt the peace
convocation typifles the sentiment of
the American people at the present
time. He said it is quite probable
there will be another World War with
in the next few years.
America Is confused" he said.
Congress passes neutrality legislation
and a huge war appropriation bill at
the same time Army and Navy mill
tary policies are not predicated On the
defense u America and its territories,
but on the supposition the United
States will participate in the next
war"
Col. Armstrong said American citi-
zens should take the mean view be-
tween the views Of the pacifists and
those Of the militarists. He declared

1877 DEAD IN TUPELO.
Hundreds Are Injured and Damage
Is Set at $4,000, 900.

TUPELO, Miss, April z R.-
Tornado-torn Tupelo prepared today
to bury its dead-187 victims already
identified and stacked in rows in i'm
provised mortuaries-while the grim
task Of seeking additional bodies con-
tinued.
Hundreds more injured when the
tornado cut path Of destruction a
mile wide and miles long through the
residential section were treated in
temporary shelters.
Gov. Hugh White estimated the
property damage at about $4,000, 900.
'It is difficult to believe that any
one in the section visited by the storm
survived" he said.
First, our duty Is to bury the dead
then we will think about rebuild
Ing"
Between $50 and 1000 of the towns
finest houses were leveled and there
were many homeless survivors.
Scores of the injured were taken to
other towns by special trains and
automobiles for treatment. Ninety
one were at Memphis, Tenn. Thirty
others were at Pontotoc, Miss, where
five doctors were busy operating and
administering aid. Others were in hos
pitals at Meridian, New Albany and
Amory, Miss.
The blow which struck Tupelo like
wise brought death and destruction
to other parts Of Mississippi and in
nearby Arkansas, Tennessee and Ala
bama.
Ten persons were dead in Alabama,
6 at Red Bay and 4 at Elkwood. In
Tennessee five died IN the Columbia
area, five in the Clifton area, and one
each at McNairy and Lincoln. La
crosse, Ark, had one death. In Mis-
sissippi near Tupelo IL died at Coffee
vile and at Bonneville. Many more
were injured and property damage
mounted.
Minor looting was reported in Tupelo
yesterday but Gen. John A. O'Keefe,

Lasting but three minutes here the
twister spread its pail throughout the
business district. Not a structure es-
capped its fury in IA solid blocks Of
brick structures.
Beautiful homes we're a mass Of
splinters, the Negro section was
leveled. In many places not even
the foundations were left to show
where buildings had been.
Rain and fire added to the misery
of the situation. Time and again
f1remen had to move hoses to care
for new outbreak Of flames.
Fear that today's search would send
the Gainesville death list to 200 was
expressed by G. J. Anderson, super
intendent of the Cooper Manufac-
turing Co., whose trousers factory
was one OF the chief places of horror.
Fire followed the winds destruc-

his welcome in the mountains Trap
perS and Indians alike resented his
wholesale slaughter of the game News
of the expeditions killing reached the
halls Of congress and a great deal Of
talk ensued and congress finally passed
laws protecting wild game in the west.
These were the first federal game laws
ever passed. The laws really meant lit
tie for there was no one in the west to
enforce them.
The Gore expedition was Jim Bridg-
er's last great adventure in the Rockies
In speaking Of it later he said: "Sir
Georges habit was to sleep until 10 or
IL o'clock in the morning, when he took
his bath, ate his breakfast and set out
generally alone for the days hunt"
Gore would sometimes remain away
from his camp until 10 o'clock at night.
On his return he invariably sat down
and recorded the days events in his
journal. just what became Of this
Journal has not been ascertained. The
hours before retiring Gore usually spent
reading from one Of the books of his
travelling library. He often read Shakes
peare to Jim Bridger. Bridger cared
little for the writings of the Bard Of
Avon, but when Gore produced THE
Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and
began to read from that volume the
frontiersman was deeply interested.
Bridger said later that many Of his own
adventures would have been as inter-
esting as the Baron's "ef they were
writ down in book"
The summer and fall of 1855 Gore
spent hunting and exploring the Big
Horn mountain range. Later he moved
to the Crow Indian country and did
some trading with the Indians and thus
adding many Indian trinkets to his
trophies But by this time the Re 1nenI
were so enraged by his useless slaughter
of game that they began to make
trouble for the travellers by stealing
horses. Gore decided to return to ST..
Louis and the party built flatboats and
floated down the Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, rivers to Fort Union, fort which
has figured largely in Montana history,
but which was actually 500 feet east Of
the present Montana North Dakota
border. The arrival of the titled hunter
meant little to residents of Fort Union
for they had become accustomed toI
mingling with nobility and even roy
