Houses and Business Buildings Are Crushed to Earth Like So Much Paper Two Women Hurt. Prince Frederick, Md., Sept. 22. Leaving in its wake a trail of wreckage, a tornado swept across this town late Sunday and, during the brief two minutes that it lasted, did damage that will reach into thousands of dollars. Houses and stores were unroofed, huge trees uprooted and, as though in the grip of a giant hand, were hurled more than three hundred feet, while small outhouses were lifted bodily into the air and crushed against the ground like so much paper. Luckily the path of the storm was not wide, being a bare hundred feet, and it struck the business section, leaving the residential section intact. Had it not been for this, it is thought the loss of life would have been large. As it was, few persons were on the streets and those who were out had ample warning to get to safety. No one was injured, but narrow escapes from falling trees and timbers were many. The roof of the courthouse was torn entirely off and every chimney on it blown down, leaving large gaps for the downpour that followed a few minutes after the tornado. The towrn hall was also badly damaged while several of the largest stores were unroofed and their contents badly damaged by both wfind and rain. Windows in the path of the storm were blown in like tissue paper and persons in the buildings at the time, although few, narrowly missed being cut by the flying glass. , York, Pa., Sept. 22.

The measure now goes to the senate, where a long consideration before the banking committee awaits it. 'Representative Wingo of Arkansas demanded a record vote on the socalled gold standard amendment, and on a division 165 Democrats and Republicans voted for it and 45 Democrats voted against it. A roll call was ordered, which changed the vote to 29S in favor of the amendment to G9 against it. All those voting "no" were Democrats. The Progressives offered a motion to recommit the bill to the committee, with instructions to incorporate a provision to prohibit interlocking directorates in national banks. It was defeated 206 to 71. After much parliamentary jockeying Progressive Leader 'Murdock succeeded in forcing a roll call on another motion to recommit and that disclosed a vote of 266. to 100 against it. Three Democrats Hold Out. A burst of applause greeted the passage of the bill. The three Democrats who voted against it were Representatives Calloway of Texas, Elder of Louisiana and Witherspoon of Mississippi.

Discount rates should be regulated solely by business conditions, he said. 0UIMET WINS GOLF TITLE Young American Amateur Defeats British Experts for High Honors. Brookline, Mass., Sept. 22.
