The white house lawn was piled with heaps of fallen limbs and up rooted trees. Twenty trees were down toda Of many historic trees there the giant elm planted by President ' Hayes, lay across the president's drive near the portico. The Harrison sweet turn weathered the storm as did the Cleveland elm- It was estimated that fully 1000 cords of wood were obtain able from the damaged trees, and the White House gardener was instructed to offer the wood to the poor.

TARIFF BILL-WILL And Not Benefit Consumer, Says Senator Gronna in Speech Today. By Associated Press. Washington, July 31. Characteriz ing uie uemocrallc tariff nil! as neither fish, fowl nor herring." a measure not framed on scientific priii clples of either free trade of protec tlon, and declaring it will not benefit the consumer, because-it will injure, if not destroy the producer, Senator Qronna, progressive republican of South Dakota, attacked the measure In the tariff discussion in the senate today. , "The great industry of agriculture,' he said, "Is again the subject of an unjust onslaught and discrimination I call your attention to the fact that In my state alone where in 1912 we raised more than 1143,000,000 bush els of wheat, with short crops In for elgn countries, under the provisions of this bill our farmers would lose in a single year more than $15,000,000. "If the removal of the tariff on farm products is going to give the consumer cheaper foods then the tariff on those products gives the producer a better market and the producer is benefitted by- it. "Un the other hand if, as has been contended, the tariff on farm products Is of no benefit to the producer of them, It can only be because the tariff does not Increase the price of those products; and if it does not Increase the price then wher els there any ex cuse for stating that the removal of the tariff Is going to benefit the con sumer and give him cheaper food r Discussing the countervailing duty provision in the bill on wheat and flor, Senator Gronna said it is of no value Insofar as the farmer is concerned.

ALSO CHARGED WITH RAISING WAR SCARES Denying Wrong Intent Accus ed Admit Communicating Military Secrets to the Krupps. By Associated Press. Berlin. July 31. The sensational disclosures of corruption in the Ger man army made by Dr. Karl Lleb knecht, the socialist deputy, In the imperial parliament on April 18, came up today when a court martial con ened to try the , military officers charged with accepting bribes for in formation of pending government con tracts for arms and ammunition. Four officers of the ordnance de partment were brought before the judges. They were Lieutenant Tllian, Htnst, Hoge and Schleuder, to whom was entrusted the supervision of many of the ammunition and arms contracts various arsenals and factories throughout Germany. Chief Clerk Pfeiffer and two of the commissioned officers of the ordnance corps also were In the prisoner's enclosure. It had been charged by Dr. Lieb- knecht that "corruption and bribery on the part of munition companies" was prevalent and that there was an organized scheme for raising war scares and thus causing the govern, ment to spend more money on arma ments. The civilian offenders, who include the alleged briber, on behalf of the ordnance companies and also the di rectors of those concerns, will come lelore an ordinary criminal court at later date. . "v ; ; , It was decided by the president of the court-martial to permit the ad mission of twenty reporters to the tiny court room, and these and a few high military officers formed the audience. Contrary to the usual custom at court martlal's the trial was held with open doors but reporters and others not officially present were excluded during the reading of the papers seized from Krupp's representatives and contain Ing information illegitimately obtain ed and of vital Interest to the national defense. . The accused officers appeared in full uniform and wearing decorations on their breasts. The formal charge against the prisoners was the betrayal of military secrets, the acceptance of bribes and Insubordination, The ac cused, altogether admitting the com munication of secret Information to the Krupps,, protested thta this had been done without criminal Intent since they believed there were no se crets between the German government and Krupps. . The officers were the first to be called to the witness stand. They, ad mitted under cross-examination that the Information betrayed by them to the Krupps representatives would have been of the highest stand. They admitted under cross-examination that the Information betrayed by them to the Krupps representatives would have been of the highest Importance If It had reached foreign powers. The early testimony Indicated that the accused had acted rather out of good fellowship to Krupp's represen tatlves than on account of the com paratively small sums received by them and nothing new or particularly sensational was evoked during their examination.

Cause of Accident, The cause of the accident, according to Gabanna of the Cleveland team, which was contesting with the Cln clnnatl team at the time, is that John son oollided with him a moment be fore he crashed into an electric light pole at the side of the track. Gabanna said the impact was slight but that tt forced Johnson to go to the outside and In doing so he took the upper elevation of the track. This started him on his road to destruction but Just why he was not able to right himself cannot be explained even by nis fellow riders In the race. Three Others Dying.

The list of In Jured Is steadily increasing as the names of those who were taken away by private parties become known. It has been ascertained that the nery fluid, was thrown over no less than 30 people and It Is considered al most miraculous that the death list did not run even higher, inasmuch as the motordrome is miles from a hos pltal and first aid to the injured was almost Impossible owing to the semi panic tha followed the explosion.
