46 KILLED BY STORM.
Town* in Alnbuma, Georgia and Tennes¬
see Are Total Wrecks.
Memphis, Tenn.—The total death
death list of the destructive wind¬
storm was increased by the dcstailed
reports of forty-six, eleven more dead
being discovered. The storm swept
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia with
a fury seldom, if ever, equaled in
this section of the country.
If rumors of death at various outly¬
ing points are to be believed, sixty
eight. people were killed by the storm.
These reports Itave not bean confirm¬
ed, as they come from distant sec¬
tions of the storm area, and it will be
some time before they can be ven
fled.
Rumors have been received telling
of the death of 15 people on Second
Creek, Wayne county, but. no names
are given. This report has not been
confirmed.
Three persona are reported killed at
Russellville, Ala., and four at Wood
ville, Ala. Both are unconfirmed.
JSvery indication now points that
the damage done by the storm to prop
erty and crops will go far above the
first estimates.
From all sections of the storm area
came reports of heavy property dam¬
age and destruction to crops. Cotton
in particular suffered great damage,
and whole fields were laid In waste
The storm was probably the worst
that this section of the country has
ever known, and it will he days before
any correct estimate can be given of
the actual damage it djd.

TAFT AND DIAZ MET
Presidents of Two Republics
Visit Each Other.
TRAGEDY MARS MEETING
President Taft is Lavishly Entertained
at Banquet and Eat» From Dishes
of Emperor Maximilian.
El Paso, Texas.—The long expect
td meeting beeween President Taft
and President Diaz of the Republic
of Mexico, took place here. Outward¬
ly <t was a rs ended with a display
of soldiery, ca dare of trumpets, a
boom of cannon and a pomp of cere¬
mony suggestive of supreme author¬
ity; but in the actual handclaps of
the two executives and in the ex¬
change Of courtesies words which
passed from lip to Up there was sim¬
ple but. cordial informality.
President Diaz was the first to
speak. He assured President Taft
of his warm personal regard and his
high esteem of the man who had ac¬
complished so much in the Philip¬
pines, in Cuba and elsewhere, and
who had bow the honor to he the
chief executive of so great a nation
as the United States. President Taft,
In simple American fashion, declared
he was glad to meet President Diaz.
He was glad to know the President
of such a great nation; especially
glad to know the present president,
who had made the nation great.
’Both presidents dwelt upon the cor¬
diality of the relations existing be¬
tween the United States and Mexico.
President Taft declared that the meet¬
ing was not necessary to make the
bonds of friendship stronger—it mere¬
ly typified the strength of the bonds
as they already exist.
There were less than a score of per
sons peindued to witness the meet
ing of the two executives, Even
these were excluded later when Pres¬
ident Taft and President Diaz with¬
drew into an inner room of the Cham¬
ber of Commerce building, where the
historic meeting took place, and were
only attended by Governor Creel of

bassador to the United States,

shallow, wandering Rio Grande river
to the typical little Mexican settle¬

In the customs house there Presi¬

President Taft, and later entertained
the American president at a large
dinner party at a state banquet.whteh,
in nil its surroundings of lavish dec¬
orations of brilliancy in color, of the
wealth of silver plate, handed down
from the time of Emeperor Maximil¬
ian, and in every carefully considered
detail was probably the most notable
feast ever served on the American
continent.
It was at. this banquet that the
more formal and public expressions
of regard between the two executives
as the representatives of the people of
the United States and Mexico, were
unchanged.
The dav was marred by but one un¬
toward incident. A lad of fifteen years
was stabbed to death by a school com¬
panion just as President Taft was
stepping from his special train upon
its arrival in the center of the city.
COMMITTED SUICIDE IN NIAGARA.
For First Time in History of River the
Body Was Recovered.
Niagara Fails, N. Y.—Within half
an hour after he had gone over the
American cataract, two guides at the
Cave of the Winds—William Barnett
and George Wright—recovered the
body of George Maero (or Mavrocor
dato) of Milwaukee, a man about 40
years old.
Never before in the history of the
river, under normal conditions, has a
body been recovered from the rampart
of rocks that fronts the rocks.
Maero was seen to enter the water
from the north shore of Lurie Island
by Joseph Lennox, a hackman, a
young bridal couple, friends of his,
and an officer, Alexander.
Maero did not lose bis footing in the
current, the water at that point being
very shallow-, He sat down in the
stream and then, bumping along on
the rocky bottom for about forty feet,
he plunged over the crest into the
abyss. the Cave of the
Alexander ran to
Winds house and informed Barnett
and Wright of the suicide.
In less than five minutes Macro's
body appeared, bobbing on the churn¬
ing water. By an odd turn of fate it
was washed upon a flat rock and held
there, Wright and Barnett, with
ropes about their waists, clambered
down, and, securing the body with
difficulty in the blinding spray, car-

STOLEN CHILDREN FOUND.
Tom««co and Grace Viviano Were Kid¬
naped in St. Loui* Last August.
Chicago, Ill.—Tomaso and Grace
Viviano, the children kidnaped last
August, from their home, at St. Louis,
and recovered here, while wandering,
cold and hungry, about the streets,
spent a quiet night at the pasaavant
Hospital. The girl, at first believed
to be suffering from pneumonia,
brought on by exposure to the cold,
was said to be suffering from nothing
more serious than a severe cold.
The children talked scarcely at. all
after awakening, but the warm food
given them and the solicitous care of
the nurses were indicated in bright¬
er eyes and the return of blood to
their cheeks.
Little could be gained from them re¬
garding the kidnaping. The boy spoke
of being in a wagon drawn by. two
horses, and declared that the driver
was a fine man who had given Grace
a chain. Subsequently they were ta¬
ken a board a train 'and the whistle
tooted."
The children were returned to their
father, who declared that no ransom
had been paid. The children are be¬
lieved to have been treated brutally
to force them into silence under any
any and ail conditions and to be still
under the fear of punishment.
“We were with ‘Sam’ and 'mama.' ”
said the boy to his father. "We lived
in the basement of a wooden house.
They would never let us go to play.
Mama’ took us out on the street the
other night and left us by ourselves."
The “Sam" mentioned is believed
to be Samuel Turisi. employed by the
Vlvlanos, and for whom the police
have been searching.

Washington, D. C.—January 21,
1910, will be a critical date in the
hitsory of the national guard, ofr

appropriated by congress for the sup¬
port of the militia can be paid to
any organization that fails to con

The Dick bill of 1903, originally pre
scrltied a period of five years for the
bringing about of the considerable
changes necessary to place the nation
al guardsmen in uniformity of organi
cation and equipment with the regu
lar soldier. But as the time limit ap
proacbed, it was found that vey few
of the states had been able to con¬
form, so an extension was granted un¬
til January 21, 1910.
As the date grows near, the offl

The task has been one of consider¬
able magnitude, and that the difficul¬
ties have been met and overcome by
so many of the states and territories
of the union, is held .by the depart
ment as reflecting f red it upon the na
iional guard officers. In many cases
the companies and regiments were
mere skeletons; twenty-five mpn made
up an active company in many states.
Some organizations had showy dress
uniforms for parades, but lacked the
homely, businesslike khaki outfits re
quired for field service. Still others
had only fragments of any kind of
uniform-—perhaps a soldier’s cap or

of rifle, was supposed to Indicate mem

New York Ctiy.—Lady Cook, the
widow of a London banker and one
of tile leading suffragettes of Tngiand,
arrived here for the purpose of begin
