(National News Association) WASHINGTON', July 31. Like a
giant flail, a cyclonic etorm of wind, i rain and bail whipped back and forth 1 acros the nation's capital late yes- j terday, leaving death and ruin in its wake. j Three dead, many missing, scores Injured and hundreds of thousands of , dollars' worth of property ruined were j

Out of a blazing sky, under which the city was sweltering with the temperature at the 100 point, came the storm roaring from the north, driving a mass of clouds that cast a mantle of total darkness over the city. For half an hour the city cowered, paralyzed, under the beating of the storm, every activity suspended. Trolley lines, telephone lines and street traffic was halted, and the government departments suspended operations. Tb.9 wind wrecked a three-story t)rtc!c,,9lBce building occupied by the JC. Saul company, real estate deal.ern,.' fliteeu persons were carried j-,ln the crash.

The neatly kept lawn of the white house was devastated. , .President Wilson was seated in the recutlve office when the wind crashed through several windows in the yrhite house proper. "" 'Secretary Tumulty hurried the president and Representative Korbly of Indiana, with whom he was consulting, to a sheltered interior room away from the searching lightning flashes. The capitol, set high above the city, caught the brunt of the wind, rain, hail and lightning. The senate was in session when the hail swept down with a deafening roar, beating on the glass roof of the chamber. The tumult made further business Impossible, and hurrying to the vice presidents' desk Senator Kern megaphoned a motion to recess. The motion was put, and although the senators could hear nothing the senate, in confusion, quit work for fifteen minutes. When the Btorm broke thirty-five painters were at work on the dome of the capitol, swarming over the curving surface or swinging high on shaky scaffolding. William Reese, foreman, hurried to the dome and got most of his men to
shelter Inside the big inverted bowl.

county bastile tonight. He does not discuss his case and the only person to whom he has made statements is Prosecutor Reller. Schools' story to the prosecutor was an improbable one and had many discrepancies in it. He said he killed his wife In the back yard where she was with a man. There was no blood in the back yard and all evidence indicates that the ante-mortem statement of his victim, that she was slashed with a razor while sitting on thje front porch, is true. A peculiar feature of the history of murder cases in Richmond and Wayne county is the number of Kentuckiana who figure as principals in such cases. Three of the last five murders in Wayne county were committed by
the competition, as 2,816 persons have submitted stops. Telegraph operations on the Lackawanna have been ordered to use indelible pencils instead of ink in writing messages and to make carbon instead of letter press copies. The order was issued in the interest of economy of both time and money.

HISTORY OF LIFE IS TOLD JTMULHALL Once Served in the Navy and Later Was Policeman At Cleveland.
(National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 31. Befor the cross-examination today of Col. M. M. Mulhall, questions prepared by attorneys for the National Association of Manufacturers, Chairman Overman warned Mulhall to kep his temper. The first question was whether Mul hall was not discharged from the Cleveland police force in 18SS for violation of a state law. "No sir, It was a political removal," answered Mulhall. "After I had been removed I was exonerated. I was appointed by a Republican mayor and removed by a Democrat. I have many newspaper clippings telling all about It," he said. Asked concerning a $5,000 bribe, which previous testimony indicated Mulhall had received for political work In New York state, Mulhall said the bribe was offered him at Albany by D. Cady Herrlck and John E. Riley. Mulhall then was asked when he had served in the navy, and what the alleged life position was which was menUoned In the alleged bribe transaction. "I was in the navy from 16S9 to 1872 as boatswain, and at the request of Admiral Nicholson was in charge of his launch at the Brooklyn navy yards," replied Col. Mulhall. "This is ruled out," said Chairman Overman. Questioned further, Col Mulhall said that John Farley, Jr., Democratic mayor of Cleveland "fired" him and afterward admitted it was a politicl removal

SWEET GIRL'S DELIGHT
Pretty Love Song That Seems to Ap- i
peal to the Fair Sex.
A new song is now the vogue of New York with the plain title of "You're My Girl." It has only been out a few days, but thousands of copies have already been sold. The composition is one of those simple affairs that appeals to women, and, strange to say, there is not a high note in the entire song. Here is part of the chorus: YOU'RE MY GIRL Chokis. y R. HfcATH.
You're my girl, you're my girl,

At any rate, the. author knew just what he was doing, for the fair sex think the song is just about the right thing. Tne music seems to be very catchy.
