Only One Death in ’
Storm.Swept Area

twisted trees and unroofed buildings

capitol building, also of the state print

riously damaged.
About fifteen negro workmen on the
plantation of A. S. Wells narrowly
escaped death when a tob&dco barn in
which they had taken refuge was blown

PRESIDENT’S AUTO PARTY
GETS LOST IN STORM
Passing Motorist Played Good
Samaritan Without Recog
nizing Them
WASHINGTON, June 23.—President
Wilson and his party returned to the
White House at 8:45 o’clock tonight,
after a difficult motor ride through
muddy roads and a downpour of rain.
The president and his party lost
their way a ’ few miles north of Balti
more. “I’ll tow you in,” volunteered
Frank Primrose, of Catonsville, who
was motoring along with his family.
He warned the chauffeur not to attempt
the route they had chosen, as the hills
were muddy and dangerous. Primrose
did not know that he was piloting the
president of the United States, but dis
covered it later, as he spied the Ameri
can coat of arms on the president’s car.
“I helped former Governor Garfield get
to town only yesterday,” said Primrose
proudly, as he got the president’s party
on the right road and directed them to
Baltimore.
The three big machines carrying the
president, his family and secret service
men, plowed through water and mud
at a good clip. Once, however, the rain
was so heavy that the party stopped
under a covered bridge. The 120-ifiile
ride was the longest the president had
taken in an automobile since he came
to Washington.
Some of the members of the cabinet
came back by motor, but most of them
returned on a special train.

Committee Headed by Con

South $7,500,000 Annually
PROHIBITION LASHED
BY BALTIMORE ANTI
(BY RALPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, June 23.—A clev
erly conceived scheme by which*the rail
roads propose to standardize the weight
and density of baled cotton at the ex
pense ,it is said, of the southern farmers
and ginners may be checked # by federal
legislation resulting from a series of
hearings before a sub-committee of the
house interstate commerce committee, erf
which Congressman Adamson, of Geor
gia, is chairman. The hearing will be
gin Tuesday and Judge Adamson is anx
ious that all persons feeling an interest
in the matter shall appear to give testi
mony.
No congressional investigations with a
view to legislation in recent years have
been so pregnant with importance to so
many people as the inquiry set on by the
Georgia congressman. It Is estimated
roughly that if the plan of the railroads
becomes operative in September as per
schedule it will cost the cotton farmers
of the south at least $7,500,000 annually
and possibly a great deal more.
The railroads, it is said, -propose to pe
nalize cotton that is not baled and com
pressed in accordance with regulations
that have been adopted by the trans-
Atlantic Steamship company.
A penalty of 50 cents a bale Is to be lev
ied against e\>ery bale of cotton If it is
packed to a density of less than twenty-
two pounds to* the cubic foot and a dol
lar a bale is to be the penalty against
the old-fashioned bale, larger than twen
ty-two by twenty-four Inches.
