DEATH LIST IN STORM AREA NEARS 200 MARK Eight States Are Affected?Thousands Made Homeless by Tornadoes in Georgia, Alabama, Indiana and Illinois. Chicago, March 20.?The death list of the Falm Sunday tornanoes inai swept sections of eight states tonight stood at one hundred and seventythree. Telegraph and telephone service with many isolated communities in the Middle West had only been partly restored tonight and indications were that the toll of death and destruction would be augmented. The know dead in six central Vvestern states numbered 95, while 55 were killed in Georgia and Alabama. The property loss in the Chicago area alone was estimated at $6,000,(k Jt while in the other states atfected the material loss was large. Elgin, Ills., suffered the heaviest property loss, the damage there being $4,000,nnn vvv. Illinois was the hardest hit of the Centr; 1 States with thirty dead, more than one hundred injured and two thousand .made homeless. Indiana reported twenty-eight fatalities and Ohio twenty-six. Nine were killed in Michigan and one each in Wisconsin and Missouri. 38 Dead in Georgia. The death list in Georgia was placed at thirty-eight, and in Alabama at seventeen. At Joliet, Ills., three persons were probably fatally injured, fourteen were seriously hurt and the property loss was estimated at a half million dollars. Troops patrolled the streets o.f Elgin, Melrose Park and Wilmette toHav. mf ~ Health Commissioner Robertson, of Chicago, mobilized every available surgeon and nurse and sent them to the stricken areas. Mayor Thompson acted with the city council in raising funds by public subscription and Red Cross headquarters were opened. Legion Lends Aid. In several places American Legion posts sent volunteers to watch 'for looters and assist in relief work. Henry J. Cox, weather forecaster for Chicago, said the tornado was the result of a combination of two storms. One developed in Alaska, traveled through British Columbia and joined a storm from the Southwest, which developed in /the- arid plateaus of Southern Arizona and Nevada. This combination, Professor Cox said, resulted in a rotary motion which formed eddies and1 caused a tornado. Although the tornado traveled forward at a rate of about fifty miles an hour, the wind at the core of the j tornado was estimated to have had a I velocity of from two hundred to three j hundred miles an hour. j Property Loss Heavy. Property loss at LaGrange was . estimated at $500,000 with that at West Point said to be "hundreds of thousands." The tornado that swept through West Point shortly after 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon wrecked the business part of that town even more severely than did the floods of last December, according to reports * *- T +Vio r>V>TPf damaee nere. ai iMtuxaug^ v...?. w was in the mill section where several hundred homes of mill workers were destroyed. Property losffaiear Alexander City, Ala., was put at. nearly $30,000, while the loss in Alabama was expected to be increased as details of more damage come in from isolated communities. Macon, Ga., suffered heavy property losses and one negro woman was killed there, while as far east as Washington, Ga., the storm caused damage estimated at $200,000. This was chiefly in unroofed buildings. Many smaller towns in Georgia reported damage to buildings, notably Williamson, Hogansville and Milner, one life being lost at the latter place. COTTON FAMINE > SAYS WANNAMAKER Talks of Manipulators, ays 75 Cents is Value. "The passage by congress by an unanimous vote, of a resolution instructing the census department immediately to make an investigation of cotton at all ports, concentration points and at mills and issue a statement showing the amount of white cotton, amount of low grades after correcting all errors and deducting for bollies, snaps, linters, re-gins, hull fibre and all other unspinnable cotton has brought intense uneasiness into the camp of the manipulators who have fleeced the producers and who >- i~~ ? now realize that a price must ue p<uu for cotton based upon actual supply," said J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton association, in a statement issued. He declared that the investigation will reveal the fact that the manufacturers are facing a famine in spinnable cotton. "The American Cotton association/' said Mr. Wannamaker, "has . for the past several months been conducting through experts a careful investigation to ascertain the correct amount of white cotton, low grades, hollies, snaps, re-gins, 1 inters and hull fibre which are being carried in the socalled surplus at ports, con eentration points, and at mills, as a result of information secured congress has passed a resolution at our request instructing the census department to immediately make an investigation of cotton at all ports, concentration points and at mills and issue a statement showing the amount of white cotton and of low grades after correcting all errors and deducting for the bollies, snaps, linters. re-gins, linters and hull fibre which are being carried in the socalled surplus gins, hull fibre and all other unspinnab'le cotton. "The result of this investigation will bring startlingly before the manufacturer of the fact that h^ -is fac* * ^J 3 n>r a famine in sumnaoie c onion anu that the amount of white cotton is extremely limited and that there will rot be sufficient low .tnvide to supply '\m pressing1 demands of the world until the 1921 cvod readies the marlet. "Based upon supply and demand j ' : and the price for which the manu-1 i i factured product is selling the mills 1 | ! could pay today conservatively 75 | cents per pound, basis middling, for j I i raw cotton. This investigation points j I j clearly to the fact that at 50 cents: i per pound, basis middling, cotton is: I the cheapest commodity in the world j I today. It. stresses the fact thai the producer should hold his cotton, as < I - - - *ii 1 1- iL _ i I this investigation win Dreatv ine i j stronghold of the gambler and man- j : ipulator and will result in destroying J i the combine which has been in oper- J ' : ation for the pui-pose of depressing! ! prices and will fprce active eompeti- J : tion from the cotton consuming world : | in a desperate effort to secure cotton j. I before the supply has been exhausted. j : It Will destroy the powerful lever-! ; age they have used as a result of this j combination which has played up bej fore the producer an imaginary surj plus composed of cotton they can not; j I use for the purpose of filling their ; I pressing demands. ! j "The passage of this legislation has | | brought intense uneasiness into ine j. tcamp of this combination of manipu-j lators who have fleeced the produc- j j ers and who now realize that a price 1 j must be paid for cotton based upon I actual supply, legitimate demand and j the price for which the manufactur-, | J ed product is selling. This legisla- j j tion is in the interest of every legi- j j j timate line in the cotton industry I , and the American Cotton association is receiving congratulations from | i every source. It is realized that this I f piece of legislation will deprive the i manipulators of the power of depress- ] j ing the market and absolutely disre- j ' ! garding the great law of supply and j j demand."
