he was confined there did the inmates receive eggs, ani that was when each was given one Easter egg, according
i to Mike Uran, 16-year-old Rock Springs youth, who ran away from the school because, he says, he was beaten there,
and who is under arrest here, awaiting return to Lander. Furthermore, says young Uran, milk produced at the
school is run through a separator and only skim milk is served inmates of the institution. The milk and eggs, he

MAY DA Y QUIET IN
WORLD CAPITALS
Disturbances of Former Years Lacking In Old World Cen
ters; Russians Pay Tribute to Lenine; Paris Fete Is Very
a No Holiday Is Taken In Berlin
MOSCOW, May I. (By The Associated Press.)—Bolshevist Russia today de
parted from its usual custom of observing May Day with spectacular military parades
and confined its celebration to peaceful demonstrations at the tomb of Lenine.
The authorities having decided to allow two days to the celebration, tomorrow
will be given over to parades of the communistic boy scouts and children of the
working classes, who will take the oath of allegiance to the revolutionary principles
nt Leninc's shrine.
Hundreds of thousands of work-,
men with their families and many
government employes marched from
all parts of the city today bearing
flaming banners and flAgs and
converged up on the mausoleum In
Red Squpre, forming a. spectacle
hardly leas impressive than that at
the funeral of tho premier.
Speeches were made by War
Minister Trotzky and others In
which the socialistic ideals and life
work of Lcnlns were the principal
themes. -
Directly behind Leninc’s black
wooilen tomb appeared the huge red
placard:
"Our weapon Is Leninism. Tho
alm of the world is revolution."
BERLIN, Muy I.—The workers of
Berlin did not observe Mny Day as
the usual Jalxir holiday, all tho in
dustrial plants and public utilities
continuing In full operation. There
were scattering demonstrations by
the communists, which tho police
quickly dispersed, no disorders be
ing reported.
PARIS. Mny I—" Wait until May
11. election day," the motto of the
extremist parties, was followed out
today to a sufficient extent to make
• lilb JI y Day in Paris one of ths
tamest In recent years. Except for .
• the almost complete cessation of
' taxicab service, a ten minute noon (
i day strike on the auto bus and <
; tramway lines, and one diiy walk-
I outs In some of the small work
i shops, the city presented much the
» same aspect us on Saturday of Holy
t Week.
ATHENS, May I.—A large num- I
i her of communists assembled out
i side the labor center today for a
I May Duy meeting despite strict
orders that such a gathering must
not bo held. Tho communists re-
I fused to disperse even when a fire
hose wns turned on them. The
t troops then fired In tho air. This
caused a panic and a stampede.
TOKIO, Mny 1.-(By The Asso

BULLETIN
ATLANTA, Go., May I.—(By ths
Associated Press). —Report of addi
tional deaths from tornadoes In Rich
land and Sumter counties in South
Carolina, today swelled the life toll
to 108 in the series of storms that
struck southeastern states yester
day. Seventy-nine known dead had
been reported in South Carolina to
day alone.
ATLANTA. Ga„ May I.
(By The Associated Press.)
—With ninety-five persons
known to be dead, moj-e
than a score missing, ap
proximately 500 injured,
some perhaps fatally, the southeast
set about today to relieve in regions
stricken yesterday and Tuesday by
the worst storms in history.
Tornadoes, descending with devas
tating violence upon widely separat
ed sections, caused damage estimat
ed at >10.000,000 in the seven states
of South Carolina. Georgia. Alabama,
North Carolina, Virginia. Louisiana,
and Arkansas. The latter two wore
the first to suffer, being in the area
[ in which the disturbance originated
I Tuesday.
Early today incomplete reports de
layed by crippled wire facilities, dis
tributed the total list of dead as fol
low’s:
South Carolina Georgia 13; Ala
bama 11; North Carolina 3; Louis
iana 1; Arkansas 1.
With many points in the path of
the storms yet completely isolated,
reports of additional casualties were
anticipated hourly.
Relief work is proceeding rapidly
under tho supervision of the Ameri
can Red Cross, assisted by numer
ous local fraternal and civic organi
zations, municipal and county gov
ernments and individuals. Hun
dreds of the more fortunate survi
vors of the storms have thrown open
their homes to the sufferers, while
in virtually every locality in the af
fected districts, temporary kitchens
have been set up to dispense food to
the hungry.
A picture of desolation and wreck-
age was left In the wake of the
storms, which traversed a path
roughly estimated at more than a
thousand miles long. It’s destruc
tive force, however, seemed partly
to have been spent ns It spread east
ward through Virginia last evening,
no deaths having occurred there so
far ns known, and but slight pro
perty damage caused compared with
other sections in which it struck.
Dead and Injured and many of
those unhurt were picked up by ths
fierce winds and hurled through the
air hundreds of feet. Miles of tele
phone and telegraph lines were torn
down, hundreds of dwellings and
other buildings were ripped from
their foundations and demolished,
trees uprooted and numbers of live
stock were killed; while bridges
, were washed away and roads flooded
In many sections by torrential rains
which accompanied ths storm.
Women and children made up s
1 large part of the known dead.
