(By the Associated Press).
Tornadoes, blizzards. cloudbursts and
■floods have brought the death list in
a doaen states to upwards of 100 in
five days, sent scores to hospitals,
many with slight chance to recover,
nnd left hundreds homeless.
The storm area extended from the
central Rocky Mountain states to the
Mississippi Valley where tributaries
of the nation's greatest river drained,
a vast section to wash out or . menace
levees.
Texas headed the casualty list with
more than 50 dead and scores in hos
pitals. Rock Springs, in southeast-j
cm Texas, where -17 perished in a 4
tornado, was hardest hit. |
Th* Lone Star state toll was swell
ed by at least 15 tornadoes or freak
storms that struck widely separated
potato
Levees crumbled in lower Mississip- j
pi Valley states, ;o threaten many:
communities. Private dykes gave way
at Columbus, Ky., leaving 800 kome
less. v \ ♦
I'pwards of 1,000 persons were'
forced from their homes at Fort Smith,
and Van Bureen, Ark.. where the Ar
kansas River concentrated torrents
from Kansas and Oklahoma.
Little immediate relief for Inun
dated Oklahoma points was forecast
with Kansas watersheds feeding four
large streams for the race southward.
Freezing temperatures in the moun
ta’n states changed rain to snow Rav
ing traffic crippled in Colorado, Wyo
f ming and Nebraska.
Scores of motorists were stranded
in huge drifts in central Colorado,
while snow plows attempted to clear
railroad cuts where trans-continental
-trainswere delayed. • .
TTyoWtog and Nebraska stockmen
feared heavy Jesses to. AufcstsKdtohe

With western Nebraska in the grip
of a blizzard, northern: state points
faced a flood. The Elkhorn River
was out of its banks for 100 miles.
Schools were closed at Chadron. I
Thousands of acres of valuable farm
lands were under water in ' Illinois
and Misouri. ,
Silt and debris left on growing crops
throughout the flooded area was ex
pected to wipe out much small grain
ami cotton. 1
Damage in Oklahoma and Kansan
alone was estimated as high as $5,-

1 TOWN OK MORGANTON
I , HAS DAY OK TENSENESS
Revolution Occurs in Government Cir
cles aa New Officials Take Charge.
' Morgaaton. April 14.—Murganton
has been very perturbed today and
labored under a rather tense situation
i with no policemen on duty ahd every
body' expecting that anything might
happen at any moment. One of the
things that did happen ws.o an attack
; on Alderumn Erwin L. Smith by T.
L. Gordon, who was uuti.. thin morn
' ing superintendent of the light and
1 water department. _ J* - \f
j Following the fight, which occurred
about It o'clock in the office of the
town manager. Gordon‘left town and
immediately the charge was brought
that Officer K. B. Roach, who was
present, had failed in his duty and
bad aided and abetted in the escape.
At a hearing before Esquire W. T.
Ha.iburton at the court house this af
ternoon Roach wqa bound over to
court tinder a SSOO bond.
- Roach denied assist iu* Gordon to
get away and claimed that he wa,s not
on duty,and had not been since'enrly
this morning. Tonight Gordon, who
told frienda this morning that he ex-
J peoted to go to Richmond, had re
turned and his return puts still a dlf-
I ferent angle on the situation.
, The trouble all grew out of the dis
missal of a number nnd .walkout of
. others of the town employes ocea-
I stoned by a complete change in the
i town administration. At a meeting
lof the new board last night C. A.
.Spencer, prominent hanker and busi
,ness man, was-elected town manager
Fto succeed Charles Lane, who has
served in that capacity for four years.
Following the election of Mr. Lane’s
successor a resolution was passed ask
ing for his resignation and that of
Chief of Police Richards nnd Officer
Roaeh, to be effective May Ist.
Richards handed over his badge and
uniform this morning. Roach 'did
the same thing about noon and T. L.
Gordon, E. A. Beach and Pink Harbj
son checked, out early this morning.
Mr. Lane is under bond and therefore
remained at bis post.
In an effort to cope with the situa
tion the board met in special session
this afternoon and swore in as tem
simniry <tyy officers Mack Brown,
Cleveland Whisenant and Fraaier
Brittain. Ernest Whisenant anil J..
formerly. .• '.*.. ;' ... •
| In the election last week, la which
the present hokrd was elected, one of
the issues was the discharge of Chief
Richards and Officer Roach and in
the action taken last night the board
{contends that Ithey were only be
ginning tqf carry out some of their
campaign pledges. Not in recent years
has the town been so disturbed as by
' the rapid way in which things have
been happening during the last 24
hours. '

I Hankow, April 15.—14*)—An inter

l) Nanking “inoMent” is proposed by
j Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign
,! minister in his replies to the recent
j five-power note demanding reparations
► and apologies for the outrages which
followed the capture of the Yangtze
, city by the Cantonese army. The re
plies were handed to the consuls of
the five powers—The United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan and :
Italy—lost night.
"In the replies to the United States
and Great Britain, Oben says that
they ‘bombarded defenseless Nan
king." 'ln repelies to the British
, and the French he makes refereiice to
the bombardment of “defenseless
Shameen” the foreign settlement at
Canton. Otherwise the replies are
identic. r 1
While not admitting that national
ist troops were responsible for the
Nanking outrages, Chen emphasizes
that such incidents will occur as long
as unequal treatries exist.
In reply to the United States, he
says the Cantonese government . will
make reparation for all damage done
to the American consulate at Nanking
and that as far personal injury to
Americans it is ready to make “all
reasonable necessary reparation” ex
cept where there is absolute proof
that the injuries were “caused by the
British and American naval bombard
ment" or by “northern rebels.”
Mare Ships at Hankow.
Washington, April" 15.—(A*)—In the
face of what appears to he a threat
eeniug situation for foreigners at
Hankow, American naval authorities
have taken steps to increase the naval)
force at that port. f
Admfral Wlllfainirwmßtalidmg Am
erican forces in Chinn, acting upon
the request of Rear Admiral Hough,
commanding the Yangtze patrol, has
ordered the cruiser Cincinnati and
the destroyers Preeble and Non to
Hankow, where the official report re
ceived today at the Navy Department
described the situation “appears to bo
threatening." \
At the same time Admiral Williams
advised the Department that he had
ordered the destroyers Simpson, Mnc
leish and McCormick from Manila to
Shanghai.
Proposal Comes as Surprise.
Washington, April 15.——Sug
gestion by Eugene Chen, the Cantonese
foreign minister, in replying to the
five-power notes demanding repara
tions for the Nanking outrages, that
an international commission be cre
ated to investigate the affair, came
as a surprise 'to "Washington and
prompted immediate speculation on
the position the American government
would' take.
.__ Chen’s refusal to admit that the
Cantonese nationalist troops were re
sponsible for the‘outrages which re
sulted in the slaying of one Americnu
nnd several, other foreigners, was re
garded with concern in some quar
ters, while in others it admittedly
was viewed as presertfing another ob

Typhoid Fever Rite In State
Has Shown Large Decrease
———
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
By J. C. BASKERVILL. :
Raleigh, April 15. —Is the death
rate from typhoid fever in North:
Carolina decreasing, ns the result of
the operations of the various sanitary
regulations of the State Board of,
Health, or is North Carolina in vir-;
tualiy the same position as iu 1918,1
before any of these regulations were;
put into effect? * j
According to published statements'
of certain members <rf the North Caro-j
lina Farmers Union, North Carolina.;
has mude little or no progress toward#
the reduction of the typhoid death!
rate, despite the Sanitary Privy Law,]
and other of its sanitary regulations,J
ttsrtc’s.ar-s*!
typhoid prevention,, lines has * been
wasted.
But n careful analysis of the United
States Census statistics shows that
the calculations of the Ktremers Union
have been based u|*on 'an incorrect
premise, and that North Carolina, of
all the Southern states, has made n
greater advance toward the reduction
and elimination of typhoid than any
other state.
In 1919, North Carolina had a
typhoid death rate of 17-5 per 100,-
000-popUlation, arid in 1925—the lat
est U., S. Census figures available—
the rate had fallen to 9.8. the lowest
rate for the entire southeastern group
of states, and representing a decrease
of 44 per cent from 1919 to 1925.
while the majority of the other
southern states registered big in
creases in typhoid deaths, instead of
decreases.
This decrease ia generally attributed
by health authorities generally to the
operation of Ike Sanitary Privy law.
North Carolina being the tmly state
among the southeastern group having
this law —nnd the only state in the
group showing n steady red notion ia
the number of typhoid denths. Thus
the, actual figures do not show that
the Sanitary Privy law has ’been in
effective in North Carolina.
It is generally recognized, of
course, that typhoid fever is essen
tially a southern problem, particularly
in the southeastern states. This was
the case when the sanitary privy law
was enacted in North Carolina in
1919, showed 21 starts with typhoid
death rate of less than 10 deaths i**r
100,000, with seven states with a rate
of less than three per 100,000. Three
states had a rate of from 10 to 15,
and nine states had rates above 15.
With the exception of Delaware, all
of these .nine highest states were
southeastern starts. The death rates
in these nine, states in 1919 were as
follows: Die war, 17.fi; Kentucky, 26.-
9; Louisiana, 22.8; Mississippi, 20.3:
Tennessee, 38; Virginia. 15.5; South
Carolina, 20.3; nnd North Carolina.
17.3. ' / 'V:'"'.
Want State Pel* in Georgia.
(By International-News Service)
Atlanta, Ga., April 15.—A new
movement is being agitated here for
a state port in Georgia. Its barkers
plan Jo begin revival of interest in
the movement at a joint dinner-meet
ing Tuesday, April J2th, by the At
lanta Foreign Trade Club and the
service committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, at which Major General
William L. Sibert, noted army engi
neer and chief of the $10,000,000 Ala
bama port development, is to be the
guest of honor.
According to reports the Alabama
development is to be the finest dock
development in existence.
Because of his keen interest in
world trade and bis wide experience
address AUaMana interested in a state
MWiomro* tana of raw and tnamre
out of tfo> state by rail for export via
nstern citi*#f and other ports that
should move through her own port.
1
These are the figures for the year
! in which the sanitary privy work was
first begun in the state, and since
I that, time, approximately 184,000
1 privies have been built or remodeled
1 to conform with the privy law—not
f 400,000 as the Farmers Union claims
; —and approximately 65,000 of these
i privies have been entirely, replaced
j with sewer connections. And it must
I be remembered that the sanitary privy
j law applies only to cities and t<«wns,
j and not to the rural districts. f
J Yet by 1925, the typhoid death rate
I in North Carolina had decreased to
I i\S per' 160,000, a decrease of 44 per
I cent, while in five of the eight south
| eastern states, the rate had increased
|ns follows: Florida, 19 pkr cent:
Kentucky, 1 per cent; Teuu<*»ee, ,4.0
pyr cent* ! .rm is mo n. -49 'pcs
increases. This decrease iu the North
Carolina rate is all the niore signifi
cant. because there was a general in
crease in typhoid throughout the entire
registration urea in 1925. Yet the
l»er ventage reduction of the North
Carolina rate from 1919 to 1925, was
four times the reduction for the entire
registration area in the same period.
... Thus tor the death ratJ has been
considered only with regard to the
state as a whole. But since the san
itary privy law applies only to towns
and villages, the reduction in the rates
becomes all the more apparent when
the figures are analyzed with respect
to rural and urban populations.
In 1919 the urban rate was 22.0, or'
30 per cent greater than the rural
typhoid death rate. But in 1925, this
condition was reversed, with a rural
rate of 10.2, which is 30 per cent
greater than the urban rate of 7.3.
The urban and rural colored typhoid
death rates are particularly perti- j
nent, since the majority of the Colored
populations in the urbau communities j
'in 1919 lived in unsewerad sections. 1
Consequently in 1919, the lAian color
ed death rate from typhoid was 25.8,
or 4fi- per cent greater than the
colored .rural death rate of the same
year. In 1925 the condition is not
only reversed with a rural colored
death rate of 18.8 which is 55 per
emit greater than the urban for the
same year, but the rural colored rate
is 7 per cent greater than the rural
rate for 1919, while there was a 53
per cent drop in the urban colored
defith rate from 1919 to 1925. ■
Similar relations are shown between
the white urban rate for 1925 reached
the low level of 4.9, comparable with
the unban rates of northern states,
and which is only 23.6 per cent or
less than one-fourth of the white urban
rates of 20.8 in 1919. y
Thus, from a careful analysis of
Kie figures taken from the U. S.
bus reports, it is pointed out by
the State Board of 'Health that the
Sanitary Privy law undoubtedly has
been large factor in the reduction of
the typhoid death rate.

Governor Going Back to Wisconsin
For Vacation.'
Raleigh. April 15. —ClXß)—North
Carolina's jsummwtlpxpcnliwt natusion
probably' Will be in' the wilds of
Wisconsin.
While no definite announcement lias
been made to this effect, it is gener
ally admitted the the lumber camp
of Governor Mcl/enn’s in the Wiscon
sin woods is making a strong bid for
the summer capital.
Governor McLean has spent his
vacation cutting wood ill the Wiscon
sin lake region every year since he
has been in office. He is now up there
for two weeks' or more of rest.
The Governor made the short trip
to Wisconsin to recuperate from the
effects of an attack of influenza six
weeks ago. from which he has never
fully recovered.
"I am not a sick man," the Gover
nor said before he left, “but I feel
that I need a few day’ rest.”
All of which, it is needless to ex- !
plain, can not be obtained anywhere
iu North Carolina. That ib, not for
the Governor. He's tried it before,
! bnt there’s always something to sum-
I moil him back to the capital.
