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.

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.
