All the dead were school children ranging in age from six to eight years. The bulk of the damage occurred in the valley town of Vireton, Okla., 13 miles northwest of McAlester. Preparations were being made for the noon dis missal at the :. country school there when the tornado entered the state and swooped down upon the village. The schoolhouse was carried off its foundation and screaming children and timbers were hurled through the air by the fury of the wind. Bodies were picked up a hundred yards from where the schoolhouse stood. Of the twenty-nine persons within the building only two escaped injury. Four are believed to be so badly in jured that they cannot recover. The teacher, Miss Vera Carter, at first be lieved to have been killed, sustained a double fracture 'of the jaw besides other painful injuries. She is expected to recover. The Choctaw Indian mission at Vireton was destroyed and virtually all the residences suffered from the storm. Before reaching Vireton, the tor nado struck at Richville, Okla., seven. miles southwest, wrecKing a uouer room and a tipple at a coal mine there. Quinton, Okla., 20 miles northeast of Vireton, also suffered from the tornado. Seven persons were injured and five houses were destroyed by its activities there. What is believed to be the same tornado caused damage estimated at $50,000 at Success, 40 miles north of Little Rock, Ark., 'and caused severe loss to property at both Dardanelle and Danville, Ark.

Captain Persius says: "We firmly believe that the com mercial shipping of our enemies will become still less active in 1917. This will be accomplished .by our daily growing submarine weapon. Our conclusion for the new year is based upon the belief , that the submarines will continue with growing success the process of wearing away the eco nomic life of our enemies."

Action by the townof ' Fairfield is , awaited by the CtM&necticut-. Co-., before anything "will be done toward, making double-tracking propositions. A , s . The Connecticut , . Co. - believes the initiative should- come from Fairfield, inasmuch as th,e" last time the . com pany proposed Rouble-tracking the itown, attention 'was called to a . blan ket resolution adopted by the voters in 189(L preventing such action. . Tije transportation committee of 'the -Fairfield Civic association, ' composed of SJmeon Pease, Bacon Wakeman and,' DVH.. Warner is expected to hold ameeting on the matter in a few days ; toreport "t6 tije , next meeting of the Civ(c:. asiweiat'ion. It 'is probable the ' comitn,ittee wllf recommend that the , po'nnecticut. Co. be urged" to place double tracks on a new , site, extend i ing from a point just west of . the GouVd '.Homestead , to Eliot street, thence' to Pickett's switch. General '.Manager C. H, Chapman ,. of jie Con'nectidut Co. said he under ; stdod tnere is 'local sentiment r'or a double tracking, but no official re- quest has been made : by the towns people for the change. , "Fairfield has come to a point' where better transportation facilities are necessary,' said Mr. Chapman. "If tjie town requests double track3 the c6mpariy undoubtedly would con sider the matter and it is probable ; the change would be made as soon as funds and material were available. , "I believe that in 1896 the voters ; of the town of Fairfield held a meet j ing,' at which a resolution was 4dopt i ed prohibiting double tracks in Main street. I toelieve it would be neces f sary to - rescind that action,- before double tracks could be laid. "Then it is very probable there is . some opposition in Fairfield now to double tracks. It would be advisable for the . voters to get together, and 1 consider what would be best for the i interests of all, and then bring the i matter to the attention of the com y pany, if it- is decided double tracks ar "wanted." :, Members of the Civic association , said-'today that the proposition to di ' vert : tlte westward trolley traffic at ; a point near the Gould Homestead, , across ,lots to Elliot street, -thence to MLhe Post road, will get serious atten- tion from the association. One mem ber said-: 'There are only three pieces, of property in the way of this venture and I believe two owners , have sig nified willingness to permit the es tablishment of a trolley route across their lands. The properties are own ed by W.-O. Burr, Mrs. Andrew P. Wakeman and the Gould Homestead. 'This route would eliminate the dan gerous curves at Grasmere, Benson's corner, Flint's corner j and the Library corner. Many accidents occur -Tt these points. "Those residents of MainVeet ,vho object to the ' double tracks n their street would probably favor this plan. It." might be Cheaper too, than mak ing the chiges necessary in Main street for double tracks Not many persons would be inconvenienced by the relocation, as at the most they would have a few minutes walk to i each the new tracks." , Mr. Chapman said today that at least five minutes would be cut off the running time of the cars from Pickett's to Main street and Fair field avenue, by the change, and the tedious waits at switches would be eliminated. Further, the danger . of single' track operation would be elim inated. He was unable to tell offhand which would be the costlier project for the Connecticut Co., layink tracks in Main street with the attendant changes, or establishing a new route. "The Main street double-tracking cost depends much on where the 'citizen want the tracks located. In some towns they are placed in the middle of tne road, and of course this would be costly in Fairfield, because of the paving. Then, in some places one pair of tracks is on one side and the other on the opposite. Some have both tracks on one side." Mr. Chapman said the comnanv as soon as the town decided it wants double tracks. Heavy Steer Beef. f 4 to 5 P. M. Sale OLE 0 Swift's Premium Brand Cheaper Than Wholesale. 4 to 5 P. M.

' SENATOR OWEN SAYS OUR CORRUPT PRACTICE LAWS ARE "USELESS" Washington, Janv5 The corrupt practices bill pending in the Senate was the general subject discussed at a conference at the National Popular Government League which opened here today. Senator Owen of Okla homa, author of the bill and presi dent of the league, in an address characterized the present federal law requiring publicity for contributions as "quite worthless" and estimated that $25,000,000 had been spent in 1916 for influencing elections. "I have been advised of an instance in the last election," he said, "at which one citizen gave $300,000' for another citizen holding high public office and to which no publicity was given or intended to be given."
