HEAVY WINDSTORM HITS FLORIDA TOWN (By International News Service) WEST PALM BEACH, April 2.—Meager reports indicate Vero, Fla., seventy miles north of here, was visited today by a terrific windstorm that uprooted trees, blew down houses, levelled telephone and telegraph wires and otherwise worked havoc. The wind was accompanied by a cloudburst. Attempts to establish communication with Vero proved futile. It is not known if any lives were lost. The storm broke at 10 a.m. from the northeast and covered 22 miles. At Fort Pierce several houses were blown down. The light plant was put out of commission by overturning of hugh tanks and damages have caused a suspension in the water works plant. Lovett Attacks Holden Merger Plan (By International News Service) SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 — The plan of Hale Holden, president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, to consolidate all railways west of Chicago and the Mississippi river into four systems, recently proposed before the Interstate Conference Commission, was attacked by Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific system, at a hearing here before Commissioners Hall and Campbell today on the consolidation plan. Such a consolidation, Judge Lovett declared, would create many unnaturalalliances and would greatly strengthen the so-called Hill group of railroads, at the same time greatly weakening the so-called Harriman group. He declared the commissioner's plan of placing the Chicago and Northwestern with the Union Pacific will be the only legal grouping. With reference to Holden's substitution of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul for the Chicago and Northwestern for consolidation with the Union Pacific, Judge Lovett declared the substitution would not only disrupt existing routes and channels WET PAVING CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS Minor accidents were reported to local police over the week end. Several were due to the wet pavement. C. E. Robinson who lives about six miles west of Anaheim and was going home from the local Free Methodist church about 12:30 p.m., Sunday with his wife and six children, was run into at Adele and N. Lemon streets. His Ford was badly wrecked and one child cut on the head with a piece of the windshield. The Ford was struck by a car driven by a Mexican of Los Angeles who was going north on Lemon street at a rapid rate it is said. Robinson said the Mexican was drunk. The police said he had been drinking elder and it could be smelled on his breath but that he was not drunk enough to "run in." A 3-cornered accident occurred at Lincoln avenue and Garden Grove road in which Mrs. G. H. Rowley of Lynwood received a sprained back. She was brought to the local sanitarium. G. H. Rowley was coming from the east, D. N. Crane of Santa Monica from the west and Elmer Turner of Garden Grove from the south. Turner's car is said to have struck both other cars, tho the other cars did not strike each other. All three cars were damaged. It is that Mrs. Rowley was not badly hurt. She left the hospital immediately. M. J. Staneberg of La Habra reported his Ford was backed into at a public crossing by a car owned by S. Morris of San Diego. He says Morris was backing up at the rate of 15 miles an hour. Morris flatly contradicts this, however, saying that his car was standing still and he was reading a sign, and Staneberg's car ran into him from the rear. O. E. Hedman of Anaheim reported that another car ran into a car that had stopped with all wheels on the pavement on Orangethorpe avenue, and that his car ran into the other car. A. J. Hollingsworth of El Modena and W. W. Schooling of Huntington Beach ran together on Orangethorpe avenue. The mud guard on the Hollingsworth car was damaged and a spoke was broken out of the wheel. I. R. Kinzley of San Pedro report- He declared the commissioner's plan of placing the Chicago and Northwestern with the Union Pacific will be the only legal grouping. With reference to Holden's substitution of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul for the Chicago and Northwestern for consolidation with the Union Pacific, Judge Lovett declared the substitution would not only disrupt existing routes and channels of trade but would run counter to another requirement of the law that competition be preserved as fully as possible. Judge Lovett in opposing the suggestion that all lines in western territory be consolidated into four systems, said: "Four systemis comprising from thirty thousand to upwards of thirty five thousand miles each, and each extending from Puget Sound or the Pacific Ocean to the Great Lakes, to the mouth of the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico and traversing most of the intermediate states present a situation which probably would be a source of much undesirable friction and in many ways a constant menace, especially in case of failure." FINAL DIVORCE DECREE Margaret R. Carmichael has obtained her final divorce decree from Harry E. Carmichael, according to a judgment on file today. For northern grape lands, see J. E.
