4 OMAHA'S STORY OF HORROR IS TOLD BY EYEWITNESS HERE tW. H. Early, Petaluma At torney, Who Saw Cyclone Wreck City, Gives Description W. H. Early, an attorney of Pcta luma, arrived here yesterday direct from Omaha. lie was an eyewitneSH ♦ o the cyclone that struck that city end caused great loss of life and dam fige to property. Mr. Early at the of ilce of Harold Ide Cruzan in the Jler <hants hank building gave a graphic description of his experience. He Bald: "I don't want to have anything more to do with cyclones. I was within a fraction of B mile of the Omaha cy rlone and was looking rl<-;ht at it when It struck the town. Had it hit the business section of the city it would Jiave created untold loss of life. 'I arrived at Omaha Sunday after noon and went to a downtown hotel. The day was as balmy as a California "winter afternoon and there was scarce r. breath of air stirring-. After an au tomobile ride, a train acquaintance and myself returned to the hotel and a Tew minutes later a fire alarm sounded. This was shortly before 6 oV lock. Wβ walked down the main street in the direction of the fire and we could Mβ that it was gaining headway. We Slurried forward and then CMM the Strange and fatal happenings of the Slight. "The calm atmosphere suddenly feaemed to become surcharged with electricity. A few black clouds gath ered. There was a queer feeling of Heprenlon and tlie air seemed to Buck one toward the scene of the conflagra tion — 1 can not describe the feeling. T never felt Anything like it before and Jinpe never to again. MOES APPRO \t II OF TORNADO "My companion and I walked to the "top of , a hill and he suddenly turned i«> me la a startled way and exclaimed, ■Look!' "What appeared to be a spiral cloud •was reaching toward the city. It was fcouncing up and down like a boy's diving kite mid when it struck the ground there was a tremendous volume of sound. < rashing. awful noises like the grinding of Innumerable timbers that were being crushed by a mighty hand. "Both of us were very much fright ened, but our curiosity made us forget the terrible danger that we were in. I *tood with my eyes fastened on the tful spectacle ali(i aII the wni!e tne Nritchltke wind seemed to keep drawing us by unseen power toward the storm center where lives by scores were be ing blotted out. "Windows In the neighborhood where ■w> stood were sucked from their sashes rs cleanly as if they had been cut out ■with a glass cutter. Tt was- ;>n uncanny rxperien.■*>. We realized that we were in great danper. but that great, angry twisting, turning, bounding cloud held lie to it with s strange power. 1 real ised thai we were helpless and that we might just s« Well stand still as to wttompt to run. No one could tell >■ that vicious thing was going to strike. HITS RESIDENCE SECTION "The cloud swung down on the resi dence section of the city and the re sulting crush was tc-rrilile. It was im possible to make oneself heard above the roar of thp storm. Fires started everywhere. Wires went down and •puttered as they crossed and ground l>eath seemed at every hand, and ]:nu<!r? wrre being pii kcd up and tossed about like chips. "After the cyclone had moved on to ward Council Bluffs we hoard the wail •4 the wounded. People were beneath timbers , , under piles of bricks and lying ■tripped of every particle «f clothing • t thHr shoes in the middle of the streets und anion*? the debris. "Wβ found two men under a mass of telegraph poles, and after working des perateiy wo managed to free one of them. He was not badly hurt and be nroso to his foot, lookod at us with the ]ook of a frightened and pursued ani mal and ran down the street as hard nn n p could go. The other poor fellow •was dead. rVCLONKS STRWGE PRWKS 'Tho cyrlone had played strange pranks. The store residences that •n-ithstond it were cleaned of every par ticle of their contents. ("'hairs, car pets, bookcases, everything , was stripped out of bouses and sont through doors end windows as if they had been thrown out by human hands. Some 3 Dusei were i at off as clean as a whis tle from the teecond floor to roof. Aβ orphan asylum had on»» side of it paired SVWay as if done with a monster knife, snd little children were huddled In its (ipnspil looms too frightened to move. "Ambulances and automobile? came Hashing from everywhere. The police end the militia came and there was Wild talk of thousands killed. The people wero wildly panic stricken and it was difficult to r. strain them. They *:ot the idea in their heads that the <iead were being robbed and they were •wildly clamoring for vengeance. Truth in the matter was* that tho dead oOttld not have been robbed; the wind had Rlready taken from them all they pos eessed of worldly goods and scattered the fragments in a thousand different ciirections. COUNTED es DEAD BODIES 'I counted 68 dead bodies in my wan derings *md the wounded were numer ous. The police anil emergency serv ice worked with coolness and precision, «nd help was given in all individual instances. The stricken district was <iuickly patrolled and assistance given the homelees. "I le#; the city the following day, there being no particular delay to west bound trains, and as we drew away we could see evidence of destruction at every hand. The telegraph poles lay flat and wrecked buildings were in evi dence. I was glad to get back to de»r old California, and the memory of that wide path of desolate wrecks In the center of a once prosperous city will never leave me."

VETERANS SECOND MURPHY'S STAND FOR FIT FIREMEN Marshal Towe and Former Commissioner Faymon ville Back Demands for Able Staff Fire Chief Murphy finds many ex perienced fire veterans to back his de mand for an assistant who is physical ly as well a." mentally capable of fac ing any crisis that might arise in the history of fire disasters of this city. Fire Marsha! Towe, who has spent his life In the study of fire conditions, un qualifiedly backs up Chief Murphy's opinions as expressed in The Call yes terday morning-. Many of the prominent insurance men applaud Thief Murphy's views, and Su perintendent John F. O. Onistock of the Underwriters' fire patrol said that the chief was absolutely right in his deductions. Bernard Faymonville. for mer fire commissioner, vice president of the Fireman's Fund Insurance com pany, said: "Murphy is , correct. I am absolutely on his side of the argument." TOWE FAVORS 1 IT FOKEMEN* "A man who would be an assistant to a fire chief should have one arm for himself and the other for his city," said Fire Marshal Towe. "He should be physically able to go first and let the others follow. "Fire fighting has got to be a science and firemen of today fight fires on sci entific lines. Nothing hurts a fireman so much as to see a building burn; his pleasure Is in seeing how well he can save a structure. A large fire loss is distressing to a fireman and he nat urally wants his , fighting force to be up to the gi%atest height of physical effi ciency. "A fire chief must have a man who can command and do things. The chief's duty is to direct, and in many cases where a fire is in back of a main conflagration the assistant must lead the. hosemen to the top of a building if necessary. He must have good arms and good legs , to get there. "An- enormous amount of capital is tied up in an ordinary downtown city block. If that blork catches fire men must be there to fight the flames who have the courage and physical strength to face ttie crisis. "A fireman who leads takes more chances than most people imagine; he takes his life in his hands and he goes to the front knowing that he may never come out of the danger alive. He should never falter nor should he be lacking of strength to climb to the top of a 10 story building up the ladders if he is cal)e,| upon to do po." » "Chief. Murphy should be supported in everything lie demands." said Mr. Faymonville, who has made a minute study of fire conditions in San Fran cisco. 'T agreo with the chief in everything he has said," he continued. "I am not opposed to civil serviye to a certain extent, but when it comes , to leaders of fire battalions and an assistant chief engineer I think that what the chief has said covers the point to a dot. •'AWAY WITH SENTIMENT" "Firemen who would lead must be physically capable of doing: so. We have been fortunate in San Francisco in having good firemen and we should take no steps that would undermine their efficiency. I read every word of what the chief said and I don't see how he could have put the matter more clearly. The chief will undoubtedly have the unqualified support of ttie un derwriters." Superintendent Contstock of the Un derwriters' fire patrol was enthusiastic over Chief Murphy's attitude. He fought many ft fire. He said that senti ment should cut no figure in the opera tion of a fire department and that Chief Murphy should be given the very best of the pick of his department for his assistant. "Fires might break out In two or three places in .a neighborhood and then the leaders of the men have to act with strength and precision. T have noticed that the city of Boston is adopting the very suggestions that Chief Murphy has made. "I wont to sea once and I know that when a man commands a ship his place Is on the poop deck and his mates must do the rest. A military general com mands from a point of vantage and his Bubcommanders lead the forces to the battle. I tliink that a fireman is in the same relative position. "Civil service rules should apply in Borne instances, but in the choice of an assistant chief—why, leave that to Murphy." woe not. unexpected.

COMMERCE CHAMBER Vi ASKS FLOOD FUNDS The San Francisco Chamber of Com merce, mindful of the generous assist ance extended from far and wide to this j city when It was stricken with disaster seven years ago, has lost no time in offering Its sympathy and aid to the] afflicted communities of the middle west. Yesterday it announced its de sire to co-operate with the Sail Fran cisco -chapter of the Red Cross. The chamber issued the following appeal to Its members: "To the Members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce: "When San Francisco was in distress the world came to its aid. The flood sufferers in Ohio, Indiana and other points needs help, and need it quickly. "The Chamber of Commerce Is co-op erating with the San Francisco chapter of Red Cross society, which will handle all relief funds. "Members of the chamber are tirged to contribute promptly and generously. Money is needed. Make checks payable, to Allen G. Knight, chairman San Fran cisco chapter Red Cross society, and send them to his office. 502 California street, or to the Chamber of Commerce, 1304 Merchants' Exchange building. The chamber will promptly transmit SULTAN'S GOVERNMENT DUE TO FULL TODAY Crisis at Constantinople as Adrianople Is Captured by the Bulgars Continued From Pajtf 1 cisive battle of Kirk Kilise, tendered his sword to General Ivanoff, the vic torious Bulgarian commander and sur rendered the citadel after forts and city had been carried by the bayonet. Ivanoff politely returned to the brav est of the Turkish leaders his sword and accepted his parole. The taking of Adrianople has precipitated the ex pected crisis at Constantinople. Forty thousand Bulgarian troops, re leased from the long siege, are already on their way to swell the army of the allies at Tchatalja. And as a harbinger of the final victory expected, the town of Trhatalja was taken by the bayonet today. Tchatalja is just outside the in ner lines of forts and trenches crossing the Isthmus. Telegrams from Constan tinople received late tonight cay the members of the military cabal are in session. The overthrow of the sul tan's government is expected at dawn tomorrow. The Turks admit heavy losses In all the rerent fighting. To the last Shukri Pasha's resistance was riobly heroic, and even when the i'ulgartans were already in possession of a great part of the city, rushing the defenders street by street at the point of the bayonet, Shukri remained loyal t<> the old Turk traditions. He ordered the magazines blown up and barracks and storehouses fired. Amid the wails of the terrorized in habitants, who had lived on cheese, refuse and brakinh, infected water for more than two months, and the yells of wounded and dying Turkish soldiers, the Bulgarians took possession of what was once the fairest city In Thrace, but Which is now a shell scarred mass of ruins—Adrianople, Selim's city fallen at last. From all accounts the arsenals, stores and much of the town are In flames. It was reported, also, that Shukr! Pasha had taken his own life, but this Is believed untrue, as, after deciding resistance was no longer pos sible, he sent word to General Savoff that he was burning the city. General Ivanoff, who commanded the forces around Adrianople, will enter tomorrow, while King Ferdinand will follow soon thereafter. CURED CAPT.BURT'S ECZEMA FOR 50c Had Spent $1,000 in Vain. Then a Jar of Resinol Cured Him. Franklin Bwrt of 81 Fulton St.. New York, late captain In the U. K. Army. and a man whose standing makes his word absolutely beyond question, gives the following account of his cure by Resinol: "I became afflicted with eczema twen ty-five years .ago. I did everything for lfcrbut the itching and burning was so intense and continual that in 1893 I put myself In the care of a specialist. The result was of little or not any benefit. Doctor Said "Get a Box of Resinol." "About 1898 1 called on the doctor to ask him if he yet knew of anything to cure me. He said, 'Get a box of Resi nol Ointment.' I got it. The Itcbldg ■ topped as If by magic. By the time the jar of Resinol was all used the cure was perfected. I expended perhaps a thousand dollars, and endured real suf fering for many years, and at last was relieved and cured in a month for the siim of fifty cents, the price of one jar of Resinol." Better proof. ev#>n than such a letter, is U> try Resitto] yourself and see how quickly the itching- stops and stubborn skin or scalp eruptions disappear. For free trial, write to Dept.
