Center street was completely 9 blocked with wreckage a short dls 9 tance east of the air mail field and It Was necessary to make a detour of a H block In order to reach the air mall field or the Alc-Sar Ben track by this 9 route. ‘S' Giant Trees leveled. 9 At Fifty-third street and St. Marys 9 avenue a giant tree was blown down International Heads of Lions Clubs I Here are the leaders of all the Lions throughout the country that number 40,000. John S. Noel, left. Is international president, and Melvin Jones, right, is secretary-general. Their headquarters are on the eighth floor of Hotel Fontenelle during the convention in Omaha. across Fifty-third street, taking tele phone and electric light wires with It. At Forty-fifth and Marcy streets telephone poles were laid low across Forty-fifth street, with the wires In tact, but running along the length of the street for more than a block. - Another giant tree was leveled at Thirty-third and Farnam streets, fall ing across Thirty-third street. At the old Krug brewery on the Deer Park boulevard, a tree was blown over, while poles at Twenty fifth and D streets were blown across the plant. Hyland park, Just cleared of debris from the Sunday storm, was littered again with branches, trees and wreck age. Thousands of willow switches used in the cooling system of the Peoples Ice and Cold Storage company at Thirteenth and Chicago streets were strewn about by the wind, giving the neighborhood the appearance of a devastated young forest. Officers of the company estlma^d the damage at between $7,000 and $10,000 because of the total loss to the cooling system. A large tree that was blown down on Twentieth street between Califor nia and Webster streets, fell onto a two-story brick building, damaging the walls and breaking the windows. Fences and sign boards around the J. Burns bakery. Twentieth and Cuming streets, were blown down. 8,096 Phones Out. | A number of homes under construc tion on Valley street between Thirty sixth and Thirty-seventh streets were reported moved from their foun dations. Huge trees, 30 and 40 years of age, on this block were lifted into the street. The number of electric light wires down, Causing shutting off of elec tricity was so large that the Nebraska Power company was obliged to notify patrons that It was impossible to answer their emergency calls. At 6 the plant department of the Northwestern Bell Telephone com pany reported 2,006 subscribers’ lines out of service in the city. This num ber includes 383 cables. Wind and lightning were causes of the trouble. Only one circuit was reported to be working west of Omaha and but one to Sioux City, one to Des Moines and one south. Eleven poles are down at Sarpy Mills and 20 are down near Twentieth and Bancroft streets. Street Commissioner Dean Noyes reported that West Center street had been entirely shut off because of trees and debris. Axes were used In chopping away trees after the storm Sunday night, but following last night's storm It was necessary to use cross cut saws, the size of limbs blown into the streets being so much larger.

Lions to Learn of Mysteries at Ak-Sar-Ben Den Subjecs of Quivera to Show Visitors What’s What— Business Session This Morning.

Owners of the decorated machines and members of the Omaha eomittee invited the visitors to hop in. The automobile procession is said to be the largest ever held in Omaha.

Who tgkM Advantage of the weak la very apt to be a sneak. —Old Mother Nature. Bobby's Curiosity Is Sfttsfietl. Bobby Coon paused at the entrance to the hollow in the trunk of a cer tain big tree In the Green Forest. There were babies down In that hol low. He knew It. He had heard them crying. Now there was no sound. They were keeping perfectly ■till. Probably they had heard his claws or. the bark as he climbed up. He wished he knew whose babies they were. He hadn’t the least Idea. That they were very young he knew by the weakness of those cries. They would make him a good dinner. It least, that is what he thought, Ten der young babies of any kind would make a good dinner. Still he hesi tated to go down In after them. He feft sure they were alone. They wouldn't have cried that way If they hadn’t been. But there was Just a chance that they might not be alone. And there was also the chance that their mother might return and catch him in there. So Bobby waited and listened and all the time kept looking this way and that way to make sure that no one saw him. Presently he heard those whining, complaining little cries again. After listening a moment or two. he was sure that those babies were alone. "I'll take a chance,” muttered Bob by. ‘‘I’ll take a chance. Probably I'll never get another chance like this one.” He put his head in at the entrance and then started to climb down Inside. He was almost wholly inside when he heard the sound of claws on the trunk of the tree outside. You should have seen Bobtoy Coon dash out of there. He didn't waste a second. And you should -have seen the expression on Bobby Coon's face when he got his head out and looked down. Coming up that tree faster than he had ever dreamed a Porcu pine could climb was Mrs. Prickly Porky. One look at her was enough for Bobby. Those usually dull eyes of hers seemed to be fairly biasing with anger. _ She waa grinding to gether those great yellow teeth of herB, The thousand little spears In ker coat were standing right out. She was thrashing her tall from side to side. "Oh, I’ve made a mistake.” squeal ed Bobby, and started up that tree faster than he had climhed in a long So Itohby Waited and Listened. time. You see, he couldn't go down, because Mrs. Porky was coming up. Up the tree and out along a branch that touched a branch of a neigrbor lng tree Bobby scrambled. Over that into the next tree he climbed, and down that tree he went. The instant he was on the ground he took to his heels. His curiosity was quite satis fied. He was no longer interested In those babies. He fairly Bhivered as he thought of what would have hap pened to him had Mrs. Porky reach ed the entrance to that hollow before he could get out. He quite forgot that he was hungry for meat. As for Mrs. Porky, she was satis fied to chatter dreadful threats as she watched Bobby Coon out of sight. Then she hurried into that hollow in the tree. There were her babies in there, and no one but Bobby Coon knew they were there. Not even Prickly Porky himself knew about them. (Copyright, 1H4.) The next story: “A Pair of Queer liable*.” HEARST’S HAND IN KEYNOTE SPEECH (Continued From Page One ) Wilson loyalists, as though they burned their lips. Win at All Costs. “Everything thut Wilson diA to make the democratic party once again a great party, is to he thrown aside,” said one delegate. "We have slipped back into the ranks of the cheap op portunists. Those positive strong things for which Wilson stood rally us no more, we are merely against things that others are doing.” The thing that most worried the Wilson men and women was that It was all being done to win Hearst. If the plan goes through demo cratic strategy will be dictated from Hearst s New York office. Once the compromise is made, and “some vaunted expression” is withheld to please Mr. Hearst. some “temporary advantage” is surrendered, all hopes of retaining self-respect is gone. Thus argue the Wilson delegates, and the fight to put the league of nations in the platform will no doubt be spirited. If the Wilson friends lose, and the cards seem to be stacked against them, then the paramount issue will have been supplied by Senator Har rison. "Winning is not wicked. Strategy Is no sin.” Short Circuit Causes Fire. A short circuit caused a fire, re sulting in slight damage to the home of W. T. Henderson, 319 Harrison street.
