He was so firmly held that It re quired a Brent deal of cutting away of the tightly bound boards before the body could be releai-ed. He was dead. Ho had a num ber of wounds on,, his hend and hie body was badly crushed. His name was not then learned, but he was Identified as L. M. Martin. - Reseae of ftlmonea. In the meantime conversation was period ically kept up with Mr. Blmones, but It was found to be extremely difficult to reach him on account of the tightly massed timbers that surrounded him. It was while prog ress was being made In his direction that the rescuers came across the body of Henry Kletl. His forehead and the upper part of his face was crushed almost beyondi recog nition. As he was certainly dead the res cuers first struggled to release Mr. Blmones, who was nearby. When he was reached he was almost in a fainting condition,- but was not seriously Injured. He was Immediately taken to his home on Eighteenth street. Henry Keltl's body was recovered a few the floor belo minutes afterward. His was the worst j utter darkness. mutilated body of all. He evidently had been struck by the falling south wall, as kis head was badly crushed. After falling a beam must have struck him on the fore head, for It was terribly swollen. His face was almost black. ' '' clety. He was a young man of much pronv is and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends for his genuine qualltlea of character. about the lower part of his face, where he was worst hurt, and about his hend, where the weight of debris had pressed. His back Is Also contused and he Is otherwise "bruised, but said he reckoned to keep on his feet, for fesr he might stiffen up so he couldn't get up. Immediately after having a badly cut lower lip sewed up by Police Surgeon Wlg torv and bandaged so that he Coul get out Mr. Blmones went down town to telephone his mother at Dubuque, so that she would not worry unnecessarily over telegraph reports. He has been made a happy father for the second time within ten days and Mrs. Blmones Is still confined to her bed, so Mr. Blmones feels -that his luck Is not as bad as ft might have been. John Klrschner the Last Thl, left only one more of the Imprlso workmen In the milldlng, John Klrschr son of J. L. Klrschner, who was killed. iTo was readily located by his groans. He was conscious and able to reply to the eager questions- asked him when the workers got close to where he lay. Cheered by the as surances that they would have him safe In a few minutes he showed great patience while the work proceeded. After about ten minutes' hard work and by the use of levers It was made possible to pull him from the sort of pocket In which he, lay. When he was lifted Into the stretcher and brought to the surface ot the wrecked building his ap pearance was greeted by the crowd with a general clapping ot hands, and he rewarded the enthusiasm of the crowd by smiling and making a feeble attempt to wave his hand BEHELD TUB IMPENDING STORM William Stewart Tells of Meelngr Ap proach of Fatal Wind. William Stewart, who Is employed In tho trimming department of- the cssket factcry, was one of the first to be taken out from the debris. Mr. Btewart was not seriously Injured, but he received several painful bruises which will confine' him to Ms room for some weeks. In speaking of hla experience lata yesterday evening, Mr. Btewart said: "Wo were working on the second floor when we first saw the storm coming, and 1 said to the other men who were working with me, 'Let s .get out of here boys, there's a storm coming.'

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 It 11 coming down at once. I know I was turned completely around, and everything seemed to be going around with me. I was nearly suffocated by the mortar and dust of the falling debris and my eyes were full of It, so that for a few moments I could not see.

A tahte plate glass window on, the Six teenth i street side of the Brandeis store 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 juries. Mr. Betnia waa keenly anxious during yesterday's storm lest someone happen to an accident such as befell him.

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 Farnam streets said they raw a United States mail wagon, with, the horse, lifted bodily from the middle of the street and placed on the sidewalk.

' When his body waa recovered eho appeared to be stunned at hef loss, but once she knew the fate of her husband she turned and silently waited for her son, who was no one then knew In what condition, still among the wreck. , When he' was carried out her watchfulness waa rewarded by a smile and then her tears of sorrow,were in some degree turned to tears of Joy. As rapidly as the recoveries were made the dead were placed in caskets taken from the building and removed to the coroner's office, and the wounded were carefully ex amined by Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Wigton. and with one exception it was considered way to a place under the office. Hearing groaning he called out to know who It was, asking:' .. ' ''Is that you, Johnny T' ' ! ' ' "Yes," replied Slmones. " "Are you badly hurt?" '- - "No, not very badly.

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. Speaking of the great tonnage ot the 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. apen: 1 nn A The Best Natural Purgative Water in Bilious Attacks and Disorders of the Liver.
