CAR SHOVED IN BAKERY WINDOW A man booked under the name of Charles Johnson, 45, of San Francisco, but said to be a prominent Pasadena attorney, brother to a judge, was picked up by Officer Knight about 6:45 Friday evening on the charge of intoxication. The man is said to have run his car into the rear of a car owned by C. O. Humphrey, $17 No. Lemont-st, parked in front of the Anaheim Bakery on No. Los Angeles-st, and shoving the Humphrey car onto the plate glass window of the bakery, doing about $400 worth of damage. No one was in the Humphrey car. The man was taken to the police station where a charge of intoxication was placed against him. Policie say he was pronounced drunk by Dr. J. W. Truxaw, city health officer. Chief C. B. Nichols says he "sobered up" about midnight and was released on a bail of $25 to appear at 10 a.m. today. He did not appear. The boll was forfeited. Police say that they did not get the number of his car because no one was injured in the accident. Hans Larsen, proprietor of the bakery, says he did not get his car number either, that the police had promised to get "all the dope," and that he could get any information he wanted by coming to the police station. No charge of driving while intoxicated was preferred against him. Police say they held him five hours, and no one appered against him to swear to a complaint. Both Larsen and Humphrey say that they are going to put in damage claims. The window was insured with Frank Tausch and the car with the Auto Club of So Cal. Larsen said Saturday afternoon that investigation had proved the man's real name to be W. H. Brown of Los Angeles, and that he was on his way home from a court session in Santa Ana. The first accident at Center and Los Angeles-st since the flagpole Merchant Marine Gets “Eagle Eye” WASHINGTON, April 27. — Ship subsidy projects were discussed at the White House today between President Coolidge and H. E. Haney, shipping board commissioner, when the whole subject of the American Merchant Marine as scrutinized. Haney was called to the White House today by the president and according to a statement issued by him afterward, "shipping board matters were generally and specifically discussed at considerable length." The president is understood to have inquired into dissension on the board. Haney said it was his own view "a more practical subsidy plan" than the one previously rejected by congress must be evolved if there is to be any hope of adoption by the next congress. The American Merchant Marine, however, cannot develop properly unless some sort of government assistance is advanced. Haney said. Haney, whose term expires in June, said the president had expressed a desire to reappoint him, but no decision had been reached. Rights: Privileges enjoyed by people strong enough to lick meddlers.

Freaks RUNAWAY houses, pursued and recaptured by swift motor boats; children asleep on a mattress blown high into a tree; a squawking rooster jammed head first into a water pitcher; herds of cattle blown across a wide bay; a field of corn completely mowed by flying iron— These are some of the authentic freaks of disasters. They will seem incredible only to those who have not been through the unforgettable experience of a tornado, hurricane or flood. Some of the strangest phenomena on record have resulted from tornadoes, though gigantic whirling dervishes of the sky whose terrific force throws buildings about as a boy throws pebbles. In the administration of the relief task following all major disasters in recent years, workers of the American Red Cross have witnessed the strangest of happenings as a result of the unleashing of nature's mighty forces. Often these workers are the first outside aid to arrive on the scene and are personal witnesses of events that would seem rightfully to belong only in the realm of fiction. Every one of the strange happen- In the administration of the relief task following all major disasters in recent years, workers of the American Red Cross have witnessed the strangest of happenings as a result of the unleashing of nature's mighty forces. Often these workers are the first outside aid to arrive on the scene and are personal witnesses of events that would seem rightfully to belong only in the realm of fiction. Every one of the strange happenings recounted in this narrative have either been directly witnessed by Red Cross Relief Workers or else bear the stamp of verity given by meticulous investigation. Henry M. Baker, National Director of Red Cross Disaster Relief, has personally interviewed most of the persons involved. One victim of a tornado's wildest whims was an old Italian named Tony, who ran a fruit stand in Atlanta, Texas. Tony had been picked up in the giant arms of the great storm, carried through the air a quarter of a mile and then dropped feet first into a well. That would have been the end of the story had not one of those strange coincidences happened that often attend the passing of the twister. By the same tremendous rotary motion that causes such terrible damage to everything in its path, the tornado sucked more than three feet of water out of the well, leaving Tony's head still above the surface. The dual action saved the old Italian and when he was rescued hours later he apparently had suffered only a few cuts and bruises. The aftermath of his terrifying experience, however, was a nervous collapse which yielded only to long and expert treatment. One of the inexplicable features of tornadoes is their uncanny penchant for sparing the most fragile things. Recently the great tornado in Northern Ohio picked up a house at Lorain and literally stood it on its roof. From an inverted chandelier hung four electric globes, not one of which was even cracked. Another and even more remarkable instance of this tendency occurred following the passage of a twister through the town of Dixter, Ark. Searching amidst ruins of a completely demolished home, a Red Cross nurse heard frantic squawking of a rooster. Most minute search failed to reveal the bird until the nurse's eye on a water pitcher that was shaking violently back and forth. Traced by this strange phenomenon, she found the trouble. It necessary for her to crack the broken pitcher with a stone to lease a very bedraggled Chanticleer who, completely de-feathered the terrific wind, had then jammed head first into the pitch. So far as is known, the high wind velocity attained during height of a cyclone or tornado 212 miles an hour. This speed must have been approach when, on August 27, 1924, a vicious hurricane swept in from the Cayman Sea and over parts of the Caribbean Islands. Of a large here cattle, 22 steers were blown across Coral Bay and into a pasture on opposite side. They were found dead in a row some distinctions from the water. In a molished village on the shore of the bay, a Red Cross field representative told of a native fair with eleven children whose bodies had been completely destroyed. When it became light enough count the children two were forced to be missing and were later for still asleep, oh their mattress which had been blown high in free. "Anything can happen during cyclone or tornado." is the pressed belief of Red Cross Reliant workers. Their yoke of experience in the field sooon later make them think nothing possible.

WOMEN VOTE FOR BATTLE PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One) caused consternation in the headquarters of the Republican bloc, which supporter Ex-Chancellor Marx. In some circels fear was expressed that it might mean the beginning of the end of the republic. The announcement made by the Nationalists that they would not seek to use the election result to tamper with the present ministry is of paramount importance, however. It means substantially that the empire bloc, the union of parties of the right which supported Hindenburg, intends to try to maintain the hitherto observed foreign policy—fulfillment of Germany's obligations under the Dawes plan.

Their years experience in the field sooner or make them think nothing im- able. During a series of cyclones that ravaged several states in the Fall of 1924 family in a small town in Seu- Carollina saw the ominous funnel-shaped cloud coming. Locking arms, they threw themselves face downward on the bed in their small cabin. The tornado struck, with a fearful roar. A few moments later the cowering figures felt a heavy jar, followed by silence. Gathering courage they stood up and looked about them. The roof and sides of the house were gone. Nothing was left but the floor upon which they stood. Investigating further, they found that they were nearly a quarter of a mile away from the site of their home. The tornado had carried away the floor supporting them and the bed, and dropped the whole business in an apple orchard. In the National Museum in Washington is the trunk of a tree that had been completely severed by rifle bullets fired during one of the great battles of the Civil War. People are frequently amazed by the peculiar way in which tornadoes destroy trees, which are not uprooted, as one would imagine, but twisted off a few feet above the ground. This undoubtedly is due to the rotary motion of the funnel-shaped cloud, which revolving at terrific speed, grinds up everything in its path and then disgorges. Au-thentic instances are on record of straws having been driven through tree stumps by tornadoes. The Chamber of Commerce at Hope, Ark., has as a relic the trunk of a large tree nearly severed by a piece of flying tin as large as a telephone book. Outside of a small town in Texas a fine stand of corn, covering nearly 30 acres, was mowed down, not by the tornado itself, but by sheets of galvanized iron hurled out of a wrecked hardware store nearly half a mile away. At Texarkana, Texas, a cyclone drove a piece of four inch water pipe through the neck of a horse making a clean cut hole through which a person could look through to the other side. Despite the injury the horse lived for three days. Sometimes, though it must be admitted, not often, a disaster is not an unmitigated tragedy. Occasionally, it replaces in kind what it has taken away. Witness a flood at Burlington, Kansas, which picked up a fine new garage and carried it far down stream, only to bring another one from up the river and lay it in the back yard almost on the very site of its lost companion. A similar occurrence took place during the Lorain tornade, which picked up and threw into Lake Erie a touring car parked by its owner in an adjoining lot, and by way of compensation presented him with a nearly-new sedan. During a Kansas flood a dry goods dealer had practically his entire stock ruined by flood waters 14 feet deep. An ironic gesture of repatriation the swirling waters washed a popcorn stand through the plate glass windows at the front of the store parked it on a balcony in Miraculous escapes, with surging all around, have spilled lives of many people caught asters. In the great flood at Colo., two years ago, a dog mother, with her little two-girl in her arms, climbed to spikes of a telegraph pole, waters slowly mounted, she higher. For hours she hung ceasely, but the raging finally tore her child from her ened arms. Rescuers in a saw her plight hours later enced the greatest difficulty leasing the nearly demented from the pole.

Miraculous escapes, with death raring all around, have spared the lives of many people caught in disasters. In the great flood at Pueblo, Cole, two years ago, a desperate mother, with her little two-year-old girl in her arms, climbed the footboks of a telegraph pole. As the waters slowly mounted, she climbed higher. For hours she hung on successfully, but the raging waters naffly tore her child from her deadened arms. Rescuers in a skiff who saw her plight hours later experienced the greatest difficulty in rescuing the nearly demented woman from the pole. Her convulsive grasp had to be pried loose. The limax of the story was reached when Red Cross workers found the little daughter, alive and kicking, where she had been washed up on the top of an overturned freight car. Three members of a family trapped death during a tornado in Oklahoma despite the fact that the entire upper part of the house fell in on them. Rescuers were astonished to hear their cries emerging from the hopeless ruins of their home. But what was the amazement of a Red Cross volunteer to find that father, mother and son were practically unscathed! When the storm first struck, the three had taken refuge under the baby grand piano, but this capsized. In falling, however, it was checked by the plano stool, the whole making a pyramid which successfully turned aside the falling wreckage. Except for being nearly suffocated by dust from broken plaster, the family was practically unhurt. The "psychological moment" figured in saving from a terrible death a woman in the same tornado-swept town. When her house began to rock under the force of the twister, she said to her husband: "I must get Johnny to a safe place." Stooping on to pick up the child, who was playing on the floor with a toy, saved her life. At the very moment she stooped off the floor, section of brick chimney torn off the house next door amashed through the wall of the room and shot out through the window, exactly as a shell from a cannon. Had she not bent over at that second, she would have been beheaded. One of the strangest situations ever encountered by Red Cross Disaster Relief workers was met during the great Ohio floods. The town of Future City, Ill., was literally wiped off the map. Every house and outbuilding was torn from its site and sent reeling down the Ohio River, like a great herd of bathing elephants. Crowds lining the straining levees were then spectators to a chase that probably has no parallel in history. Red Cross relief workers manned a fleet of motor boats and rushed in all directions after the runaway houses. A boat would dash alongside a house, her crew would dettly attach a hawser to it and then, with racing motor, the "tug" and her strange tow would go slowly back, buckling the flood waters. To Future City, where the dwelling would be anchored to a prospecting tree or telegraph pole and see home savers would dash off for more houses. In order that it may be always prepared to rush quick and adequately relief in any emergency at any time, the Red Cross within the past year has established a Mobile Disaster Unit. This corps of disaster relief experts is kept in readiness at all times to respond at a moment's notice to the call for assistance from stricken communities anywhere in the United States. Recently the Government placed at the disposal of this unit the Syng Corps of the Army, Navy and Post-office Aviation services, thus insuring the quickest possible dispatch of Red Cross relief experts to the scene of disaster.
