Minister to Colombia Declares
Congress Had Sympathy but
No Aid for Needy Family,
WASHINGTON, May 15— The
story of Frank I,. McKernan, Vjce
Consul at Barranquilla. Columbia, a
New Yorker, who languished for days
in a squalid apartment while vultures
fought for places on the walls from
which they might swoop down upon
their prey the instant he expired, is
told by James T. DuBois, United
States Minister to Colombia, who has
just returned to Washington.
McKernan died, he says, and his
widow and daughter were left desti
tute. The Minister appealed to the
State Department for help and re
ceived word that the department ex
tended its sympathy, but could give
no aid. A steamship company gave
the dead Consul’s family free trans
portation home.
Minister DuBoi? attacks Congress
for not making provision to meet such
cases as McKernan’s.
Town of Seward Hardest Hit, Re
porting Eight Victims—Other
Villages Suffer.
OMAHA, NEBR., .May 15.—Tin
persons are dead and more than a
score are suffering from injuries,
which may increase the death list, as
the result of a tornado which swept
the State of Nebraska last nifcht,
causing more than $200,000 property
damage. Eight were killed at Sew
ard, Nebr.
The storm started In McCool Junc
tion. The home of Thomas Riordan
was blown into the river. All the
members of the family were saved
except one small child. Two persons
were reported probably fatally hurt
there, but the report could not be
verified because of the crippled wire
service.
The heaviest damage was inflicted
in the town of Seward. A path more
than 100 yards wide was swept by the
twister. Four blocks of residences
were wrecked, but the business dis
trict was left untouched.
Stores Turned Into Hospitals.
Stores were turned into hospitals,
and injured persons were being cared
for there by a trainload of physicians
and nurses sent from Lincoln.
The path of the cyclone was 100
yards to half a mile w ide and nearly
50 miles long. At Tamora several
houses were wrecked and indefinite
reports were received stating that
there had been loss of life there.
There was no means of confirming
the reports.
Latest advices from Lushton, Uti
ca and Grafton said there were no
deaths in those towns, although the
cyclone destroyed several houses. No
reports were obtained from the rural
districts, where all the wires were
torn down. It w.is feared more deaths
would be reported when communica
tion was restored.
Fans Flee Ball Game.
At a ball park in the western part
of Seward, where the storm hit hard
est, 300 persons were attending a
baseball game when the cyclone was
seen approaching. They fled from
the grounds and a few minutes later
the storm struck the grandstnd
wrecking it.
The cyclone and a Union Pacific
gasoline motor car filled with pas
sengers raced to Wahoo, Nebr. The
motor car escaped the worst of the
storm, but was overtaken by wind
enough to partially wreck it. Six pas
sengers were slightly injured by fly
ing glass.
Several relief trains left Om^ha
to-day for towns and cities which
were visited by the cyclone. One
trainload of physicians and undertak
ers left Lincoln for Seward.
GALLED, BUT IS
to
Noted Evangelist Wires The Geor
gian Regarding Offer to Fill
Baptist Tabernacle Pulpit.
Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads
The Sunday American. YOUR ad
vertisement in the next issue will sell
goods. Try it!
The Rev. Lincoln McConnell, noted
evangelist and lecturer, who has been
called to the pulpit of the Baptist
Tabernacle, in a telegram to The
Georgian Thursday morning de
clared himself highly pleased with
the invitation, but undecided as to
whether he can accept or not.
The Rev. Mr. McConnell, who Is at
Higginsvllle, Mo., where he Is deliv
ering a series of lectures, stated that
he can not answer the Tabernacle’s
call definitely, owing to his presen 1
contracts for lecture work.
Pleased, but Undecided.
The Rev. Mr. McConnell’s telegram
to The Georgian follows:
“The Georgian:
“Your wire is news to me. Am
highly honored. Impossible to say
what I can do now, as I am booked
far ahead in lyceum and evangelistic
work. I love Atlanta and will see
what arrangements I can make.
“LINCOLN M’CONNELL.”
The call followed a meeting of the
members of the church Tuesday eve
ning at which the Rev. Mr. McCon
nell’s name was unanimously accept
ed.
The pastor Is 47 years old. Since
going into evangelistic and lecture
work he has had no place of resi
dence, although he owns 1,100 acres
near Thomaston, Ga., where he and
hi* family spend a.great part of their
time.
Called Ideal Pastor.
From his decided vigorous manner
and enthusiasm, the Rev. Mr. Mc
Connell is regarded as an ideal man
to handle the enormous work de
manded by the pastorship of a church
as large as the Tabernacle with
something over 1,200 or. its member
ship list.
Except for his connection with the
Wesley Memorial Methodist Church,
he has not been pastor of any large
churches In the country- However,
he has become one of the most suc
cessful men in the evangelistic and
lecture field. Personally, he is a man
greatly liked and admired by the
preachers of Atlanta. His family
consists of his wife and daughter and
three sons.
At Wednesday night’s meeting the
members of the Tabernacle raised
the remainder of the $12,000 neces
sary to secure the donation of $3,000
from Andrew Carnegie, and to finish
payment on the magnificent new or
gan in the church auditorium.
