PRESIDENT WILSON UNHURT
Secretary Hurries Executive Out of
Reach of Harm-Disturbance
Caused by Heat.
Western Newspl,º-.r i "ion News Service i
Washington. - Like a giant flail, a i
cyclonic storm of wind. rain and hail e
whipped back and forth across the t
Nation's capital leaving death and ruin I
in its wake.
Three dead, scores injured and hun
dreds of thousands of 'dollars worth of 1
property destroyed was the toll record
ed in the hurried canvass made when I
the city aroused itself from half an t
hour of helplessness in the grasp oi 1
the elements.
Out of a blazing sky, under which
the city was sweltering with the temrn- I
perature at 100 degrees came the I
storm roaring from the north driving I
a mass of clouds that cast a mantle of t
darkness over the rity. The gale.
reaching a velocity of almost 70 miles I
an hour, swept the streets clear, un
rcofed houses, tore detached small a
structures from their foundations,
wrecked one office building, overturn
ed wagons and carriages in the streets I
and swept Washington's hundred
parks, tearing huge branches from 4
trees and even uprooting sturdy oldI
elms, landmakrs of a century.
As the wind wreaked its havoc, theI
rain came and in five minutes the tem
peratnre dropped from the 100 mark to
between 60 and 70. Then the rain
turned to hail and hail stones battered i
oe roofs and crashed through skylights 1
and windows.
Por a half hour the city cowered
under the beating of the storm, every
activity suspended. Trolley lines,
street traffic and telepheme sernvice
were halted and government depart
meats suspended operations.
The wind wrecked a three-story
trick office building occupied by the
B. 8. Saul company, real estate deal

Thomas B. Fealey, 65 years old, andc
an unidentified man who entered the
build4Mg to try to rescue those caught
in the wreck, were taken from the
ruins dead. Many were taken to hos
pitals seriously Injured.
The neatly kept lawns of the White a
House were devastated. Three huge l
elm trees uprooted by the wind were
th~rown bodily across the lawn and up 1
to the very portico of the building,
blocking the drives. President Wilson
was seated in the executive offices
when the wind crashed through sev
eral windows in the White House prop
er. Secretary Tumulty hurried the I
president and Representative Korblev
of Indiana, with whom he was con
ferring, to a sheltered inner room.
away from the searching lightning
flashes.
The capitol, set high above the city c
caught the brunt of the wind and rain, I
hail and lightning. The Senate was c
in session when the hail swept down
with a deafening roar, beating on the
glass roof of the chamber. The tn
riult made further business impossi
ble, and hurrying to the vice presi
dent's desk, Senator Kern, megauhon
ed with his hands, a motion to recess.
The motion was put and although the
senators could hear nothing, the Sen-.
ate quit work for 15 minutes in con- I
fasion.

BATON ROUGE NEWV
SPECULATION AS TO WHETHER
COMMISSIONER BRUNER IS
ENTITLED TO OFFICE.
MAY WITHHOLD HIS SALARY
May Be Test of Legal Rights-Con
stitution Acts as Bar in Some
Cases.
W-estorn New',ea:., r 1'ntor News Service.
Baton Rouge. \ persistent and ap
parently well-authenticated report is
current that State Auditor Capdeville.
before Issuing a warrant for Commis
sioner E. O. Bruner's salary upon the
end of the current month, would apply
to Attorney (;eneral Pleasant for a rul
ing as to whether or not Mr. Bruner's
conviction for slander and imprison
ment in the parish prison of East
Baton Rouge rendered him ineligible
to draw pay for the time since he en
tered upon his sentence. The audi
tor's office wouldn't discuss the report.
If the ruling is against Mr. Bruner U
' ould mean that his office is vacant.
Following the suggestion from va
rious parts of Louisiana that he re
sign, Commissioner E. O. Bruner Is
now faced with the possiblity that
there now may be a test of his legal
right to hold his office longer. The
State Constitution declares that no
man is eligible to hold office who,
among other things, is imprisoned in
any prison.
The parish places of incarceration
are variously termed "jails" and "pris
ons." Whether only the State Peni
tentiary or whether the parish jails
are also meant in this clause of the
constitution, is the point at issue. The
plea Is being made in Mr. Bruner's be.
half that, as he was convicted not of
a crime or felony, but merely of a mis
demeanor, and as he Is In Jail and
not in "prison," he is not debarred
from holding office.

tary lMcAdoo to faciliatate the move

nicipal bonlds and prime comm. reial
paper will be accepted as security for
the money, upon which the banks will
pay two per cent interest.
The motive of Secretary McAdoo in
establishing this new policy is to an
ticipate the money stringency in the
late summer and fall, which invariably
secompanies the marketing and move.

crops are unusually large, as the bar

tends to take time by the forelock and
prevent or minimnlize the usual tight

In a statement the secretary made
the significant answer that govern

the additional money woul4 be placed
only with banks which have taken out
at least 40 per cent of their authorized

United Slates two per cent bonds,
serving as tecurity for most of the
national bank circulation, have been

records, dropplng to 95 3-4 during the
past few days. The secretary's willint

orivilege will be granted, ansorUaes
the secretary, In order to make these
special deposits available to the banks
on securities seedily within their
reach.
"The commercial paper submitted,"
added Mr. MeAdoo, "shall first be pass,
ed upon and a'"rovrd by the clearing
house committees of the cities tn
which the banks offering such paper
may be located. All commercial pa

upon and accepted by the secretary."
Approved commercial paper will be
aoepted as security for the deposits
at 65 per cent of its face value, and
high class state, municipal and other
bonds, at 75 per cent of their market
value.
The additional deposits will be pla
ed with the national banks in the two
or three principal cities in each of the
states where harvesting now is in
progress and where the demand for
money for moving the crops most eon
veinently can be met. The secretary
said it would not be practicable to
scatter the deposits among the smaller
cities, especially In view of the char.
acter of securities necesmsary.
The bads will be required to return
the money to the public treuury whea

The present suggestion is, Mr. Me
