HER SECOND EXPERIENCE OF SORT
Miss HInton Went Thronah Tornado
at Falls City, Alio.
Miss Lulu HInton was found In bed at her
home, 1134 North Eighteenth street. Though
somewhat disfigured about the face from
her forehead to her chin. Miss HInton was
as pleasant as one would expect to find a
woman who had not passed through the
experience of tho afternoon.
"I was In a tornado at Falls City nine
years ago," she said, "and I have always
been a little timid about heavy storms since,
t was nervous about this one for some
time before It got to the danger point, but
It was not till the transom window blew In
that t became really frightened. Then I
tried to open the front door of the office,
but It was held fast by the suction. I ran
to the door at the other aide of the office,
leading Into the robe room, but that too
waa Jammed by the awful draft. It was
while trying this door that I got a glimpse
of Mr. Blmones and shouted to him. Then
he disappeared and I threw up both hands
and Just yelled. But as I did so I threw
them against the door casing and stood In
the frame aa closely as possible.
"Then the thing went, or I fell I guess
the whole building went, as I seemed to aee

turned completely around, and everything
seemed to be going around with me. I was

A tahte plate glass window on, the Six

was shattered when the .wind hurled a
"dummy" through It. Other stores sus
tained similar damages.
At 4M former Mayor George P. Bemls
telephoned to The Bee that the large bill
boards on tho vacant lot at Sixteenth and
Harney streets were rocking and about to
fall. Later these boards did fall. They
were large enough to have seriously
maimed or killed anyone who waa unfor
tunate enough to have been beneath them,
but happily there was no casualty.
It was daring the terrlfle wind storm ot
April, 1901 that Mr. Bemls sustained the
accident that has made him a permanent
cripple. He was walking home when the
billboards fon Farnam street west of
Eighteenth' gave way to the force of the
wind and struck him, hurling him to the
pavement His ankle waa so badly hurt
that several operations and the use of
crutches have failed to repair the In

yesterday's storm lest someone happen to
an accident such as befell him.

within two minutes barrels of water poured
In. The" operators, being . so . closely In
touch with the electrical appliances
fraught- with the powers of death, were
not censured for not sitting composedly
at their keys. But the catastrophe was not
marked by any bodily injuries, nor did It
Interfere With the. service.
The street cars over the city, on all lines,
were stopped for a period of ten minutes
when the storm came up more as a matter
of precaution than anything else. There
was no damage.
Down fn the yards of the Harmon St
Welth Coal company on North Sixteenth
street a coal car with , its burden of fuel
was standing on the track on top of the
shed. The shed was1 picked out by the
storm god as one of Its chosen victims and
down went the car, coal and all, the shed
being fairly splintered.
Clerks looking1 out of the window of the
Union Pacific office building at Ninth and

JAMES J. HILL TESTIFIES
Builder of Great Northern Appears Before
Beasts Committee.
SAYS RATES VARY WITH CONDITIONS
He Also Warns Senator, to Be
Careful, as UNAdvlaed Leglsla.
(Ion Will Cripple the
Bnslness.
WASHINGTON, May I.-Robert Mather
of the Rock Island system again waa be
fore the senate committee today. Pis
cussing the rivalry of commerce, he said
that when the gulf ports had shipping and
the transportation facilities, commerce
must flow more and more to those ports.
No changes were necessary In the present
law except the restriction of the scope
and power of the Interstate Commerce
commission. It had too many dutlea and
not sufficient time to perform its legitimate
functions. Courts could determine reasona
ble rates, but he would net go as far as
some attorneys and say that the law could
prescribe that auch a rate shbuld be the
future rate.
James J. Hill Testifies.
JameS j. Hill, president Ot the Great
Northern, followed Mr. Mather. He said
there waa only one safe banls on which a
low rate could be made, and that was tho
low ooBt of producing the transportation.
The value of the service is determined by
the density of the traffic, and that makes
the rate. Rates vary with conditions. In
making rates on his road, he said, they
had to take into consideration what the
country produces. The railroad was
charged with the prosperity of every man
who lived on the road It that man
worked.
Discriminations were necessary, declared
Mr. Hill. When hla road was built he went
to Washington state and found that its
greatest product was lumber. There was
rate of 90 cents per hundred on lumber
to the eastern market. Lumber dealers
said they could ship at 66 cents. He knew
they could not do it, and he made a rate
of 40 cents and waa ahlpping large quanti
ties of lumber. This was a discrimination
against lumber on the eastern end of the
road, but In ten years there would be no
lumber produced In that section. It was
because the cars going out with merchan-
Ise brought loads back that these low
rates could be made. Besides the mer
chandise for the Pacific coast, his road
handled freight for the orient. Large quan
tities of flour were hauled from the Twin
Cities to the orient, but the Interstate
Commerce commission stopped it.
This statement produced a Are of ques
tions from members of the committee, and
in reply Mr. Hill explained that the com
pany was compelled to file Its through
rates with the commission. This rate being
made publio, was cut by the rival steam
ship lines, which were not compelled to
make their rates public. His company.
under the law, could not change Ha rate
for seven or eight days and meanwhile
the other lines took the cargoes. If the
8hlp8 of the company did not carry a pound
of freight It would make no difference with
the dividends.
Warns Committee to Be Careful.

railroads, Mr. Hill warned the committee
to be careful and not cripple the business
of the country, "not for ourselves,'1 he
added, "because before you get down to us
there weuld be a great many corpses about
the country." He spoke of the congestion
of freight at eastern ports, and sold buai-
ness was going to the gulf, although ship
ping rates to Europe from gulf ports were
very much higher. Roads east of Chicago
would have to raise their rates In order to
get means to build more extensive terminals.
Mr. Hill Said that while congress was leg
islating for safety appliances for employes.
It might provide greater safety for the
public. He attributed 90 per cent of the
accidents to non-observance of rules. He
told of a shipment of locomotives from
Philadelphia to Yokohama by his company
at a rate equal to what another company
charged for transporting locomotives 5"0
miles. This ia a case, he remarked, for
the Interstate Commerce commission to
take up and investigate. They would And
somebody waa charging too much.
Predicts Lower .Rates.
Commenting on the statement of Mr. Hill
that in twenty years there had been a re
duction ot rates from 2 cents to '76-cent per
ton per mile, Chairman Elklns asked what
would happen regarding rates in the next
twenty years?
Give the roads fair treatment," replied
Mr. Hill, "and In twenty years I think the
rate would come down to half a cent a 'ton
per mile."
Mr. Hfil said the ability of the railroads
to raise money to increase their equipment
and for building additional lines would be
destroyed by taking away from them the
power to make rates. He criticised the
terminal charges enforced below the Har
lem river in New York, saying they were
greater than the rate from Buffalo to Har
lem. He suggested that the Interstate Com
merce commission might Investigate these
terminal charges.
"Why don't the commissioners take up
that matter?" asked Chairman Elkins. ,
"They are too busy," replied Mr. Hill,
"trying to get power to fix railroad rates."
Competition of Canadian Hoada.
There was, quite an Interesting discussion
between Mr. Hill and Mr. Elklns about the
competition of Canadian roada. The latter
asked what ought to be done to meet the
rates and rebates of the Canadian lines.
We are willing to work that out among
ourselves," replied Mr. Hill. "Before we
are through with them they will cease cut
ting rates." He said that some years ago
the Transcontinental association paid the
Canadian Pacific roada $500,000 a year to get
out ot certain business on which the road
waa cutting ratea from New York to San
Francisco. This arrangement lasted only
two years.
Replying to Senator Foraker Mr. Hill
said that no Interest would suffer If export
traffic with noncontiguous countries was
exempted from control By the Interstate
commerce regulations. This statement waa
brought out by the previous remark of Mr.
HIU that hla company had to withdraw Its
rates on flour to Japan because the com
mission Insisted that the rate should be
published.
Replying to a question by Senator Clapp
as to the effect of the Panama canal on the
railroads Mr. Hill said that for Atlantic and
gulf ports and for ISO miles Inland the canal
would be ot some advantage. "But" he
added,-"for all Interior points we will meet
any rate made by the canal route."
Again questioned by Senator Clapp Mr.
Hill declared that every railway officer
ahould be disqualified from engaging In the
production of traffic on a line where he Is
on the payroll, because of the temptation
to favor the company In which he was Interested.

half. He refused to submit one of the
requests, saying It would be a direction
to the Jury to acquit the-defendant. He
told the Jury, however, that they might
disregard the testimony of Julia Smith If
they thought it right to do so. He also
refused to ' charge requests concerning
Pawnbroker Stern and the failure of the
defense to call John Morgan Smith. He
said that claims on either side were not
to be considered as evidence..
After going over the requests, one by
one. Recorder Goff told the Jury It was
not necessary that there should be a direct
and positive evidence as to everything and
It was sufficient that the facts be proven.
"If you believe that It was a physical
Impossibility so far as the nature of the
wound Is concerned, for Young to have
shot himself, then that is a fact," said he.
"Hut you must remember that one lnfer
encH cannot be proven by another infer
ence. If you believe the defendant fired
the shot without deliberation or Intent to
kill, not In a moment of passion, then you
may find her guilty of one of the other
decrees of manslaughter. In reaching your
conclusion you must not be swayed by
sympathy or other influences."
Following the retiring of the Jury the
prisoner was taken back to her cell In
the Tombs. The girl met her father at
the Tomba and embraced him. She did
not appear exceedingly nervous and looked
