While hearses and ambulances still threaded their way through streets with the .dead and injured, the wrecked towns of southern Illinois resounded today to the noise of car penters' hammers and saws as they started repairing or rebuilding hun dreds of homes, business places and industries wrecked by Wednesday's tornado. . , The whole city was jubilant to night over an announcement late to day by Vice President Xorri3 of the Mobile & Ohio railroad that the rail road shops here, employing 14 hun dred men, which were destroyed with an estimated loss of $1,500,000, will be replaced.

There were thirteen- ad ditional deaths reported rrora Mur physboro, the heaviest . sufferer, and the3e with an additional demise at IcLeansboro brought Illinois loss of life to 650. Stable flgure3 apparently have been reached for. the other states affected by the tornado, making the obituary list amount to 827, with 2.939 carded as injured. , Hundreds of others were hurt but they did net report to the relief stations. A dozen Illinois towns which were swept by the fatal wind settled down to organized care of the maimed and helpless today while the anie bodied citizens renewed their efforts to re build their homes. Subscriptions con tinued to pour into the coffers of re lief organizations and immediate wants have been taken care of liber ally. Much more money will be need ed later to complete the work, It -was said. Bodies were found today in the burned ruins of 150 blocks in Mur physboro and it was found that six negresses had been taken to Cairo without having been entered on the death list.

Legislators who have dreamed of a Saturday adjournment, were smok ing a different brand when they sized up the situation .Monday. The ap propriation bill, the intangible tax measure and possibly some others are considered sure to go to conference with the possibility of a lengthy hold out on the appropriation bill. House members admit that it may be difficult to .muster the necessary sixty-seven votes to adopt the senate amendment striking exemptions from the gas tax bill. Certain lower branch republicans see a bit of political sig nificance in the attitude of demo cratic leaders. They say that minor ity men who urged exemptions' are not so keen for them as earlier in the session. One republican member sizes it up as follows: Two years from now, assuming that the senate .amendment is ac cepted, the democrats can go before the farmer and say, 'see what you have done?' You-have paid out up wards of $50,000 that we tried to save you but the republican legisla-j turo wouldn't let us." - ! A majority of the house members undoubtedly would accept tne senate ( amendment. One argument against exemptions ia that the biggest, bene o o O QOQ eo o o o o o o olf they love cake at home ficiary under such an arrangement would be the railroads using motors, j Since the railroads are now relieved j of their proportion of the $1,500,000 . property tax for good roads, some' members have no desire to further ; relieve them. While there are not many motors in use in tho state at ', this time it is said that the time is,' near .when the motor may replace number of short passenger trains'. on stub lines. Unless the house stampedes as it nears the wire and swallows anything, the, senate feeds it, a tieup is con-j sidered certain over the flat appro-, priatlon for the university and the' normal schools in place of . the mill i levy for building program. If it goes ' to conference, a thing considered ; Hkely,vmuch may depend on the per-; sonnel of the conference rommittee. ' If the presiding officer of the senate ! and the chief clerk of the house name j men who are fixed in their stand against the flat appropriation, it is: QnilTU Will possible that the hold-out may prove , OUU 3 ll Ufi I O Si?

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY GETS MILLION LEGACY movement of freight from south At lantic and gulf ports was foreseen by shipping board officials as a re sult cf today's action. Shippers in central freight asso ciation territory, comprising roughly the middles west, heretofore have found .it cheapr to ud thir prod ucts to Nw York and other north Atlantic ports by rail for trans-shipment to foreign destinations. It has been charged that facilities in some of these ports often have been inade quate to insure prompt movement, and the shipper," whrvln order to eet relief, would have to pay the higher , rate to snip, through eouth Atlantic or gulf, ports. Under these now schedules a great amount of commodities which previ ously moved through the north At lantic ports from Chicago., and, ad jacent territories, will now go direct ly through New Orleans( and other gulf and south Atlantic ports. i V Red Bird Poultry ; Ykrds Single Comb Rhode Island Reds EGGS - CHICKS Custom Hatching Aehlev'iMnwDt Rteord 14T.t Bog pr Hen E.
