'V Jtt' THE SPRINGFIELD LEADER, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1927..

mm ha W1e, America' movie capital, Hollywood, The baby la i hown here with his was Mary Aiken before marriage to uted to the sturdy construction of the buiTdlngs In the devastated area. Here and there the debrla of what had been a wooden structure gave mute evidence of what' might have happened Accompanied by a violent rainstorm end traveling at a speed estimated by the weather bureau at 90 miles per hour the twister entered the city In the southwest section. Pun like. It pursued a northeasterly course traveling almost on a straight line lip Grand Boulevard to Finney avenue leaving several thousand hiomes In ruin Tralllc In.tantlv. Here It expanded west to Klng highway and east to Glasgow avenue and apparently spent Itself beyond Falrmount park.

Traffic was Instantly stopped In the area, the trees snd fallen poles slopping street cars snd automobiles almost In their tracks. The chief damage was dons In what was the city's flnsst architectural vista, where deep lawn and old trees enhanced homes ot both modern and older types: Fronts of nearly all the homes were blasted out while the stately trees, whlctr made a virtual park of several or the Boulevards were rooted out. Crumbles Brick Houses. Old brick houses were crumpled like egg shells In one part of the area, the newer homes were not spared, and gaping holes, where the wind had wrenched off a wing or lilted the roof, gave the district something of the appearance ot a shell torn city. The rescue workers rushing Into the cone found pathetic sights of men, women snd children, standing about dared and helpless, while others probed the heaps of brick and wood for relatives and loved ones.

The tornado played no favorites. Homes of classic design, with trim and shapely lawns fsred no better than the humbler structure snd stores. Schools, apartment buildings, po lice station all were racked and torn equally. Comes Suddenly. For an hour before the twister struck, the air was heavy and por tentous with storm.

The continuous low mmbllng of thunder was punctuated with lightning, and the air was heavy. The oppressiveness was Qlspcl'id by a rising and suddenly ths tell tale black clouds appeared. In a twinkling, ths crashing of glass and the singing of the wind in the trees announced the coming of the tornado. Chimneys crashed. bouse heaved and fell, while the air was dark with dust snd flying mis siles.

Witnesses telling Ihelr stories later spoke of sheets of flame, their origin a mystery, that swept past and dissipated themselves by striking a building or a tree. ToMes Automobiles Over. Automobiles moved craxlly about. overturning and wrecking themselves like playthings of children. Everywhere the thud of falling walls, and chimneys and the tearing sound of piazzas being torn from their foun datlons.

filled the sir Swift In Its coming, ths storm was as quick in leaving. From the ruin ed homes snd stores the frightened. wet oocupsnu appeared in a geatl culstlng stream. They found a wild erness of fallen trees to block their way. Hysterical women supported by men picked their way out of the debris.

Volunteer Stand Guard. A the danger from fallen trolley wires became great, sstt appolnted guards stationed themselves at places of danger until police arrived to take charge. A cordon was hastily thrown about the eectlonj while elementary relief work was begun within. A the new was flashed to the downtown tlon. the police and fire department hastily mobilized.

tPboB Service Stopped. Travel through the section was alow and laborious and from Forest park to the Mississippi river, the city lay almost Inert, Telephone communication wai stopped and the police telephone rys tern crippled. Word reached a radio station and waa broadcast, although persons outside ot the area little realised the extent of the catastrophe. Newspaper ware powerless to gather "7 ute detail ot the picture and sketchy reports were circulated. Apparent exaggeration! became ret 11 ties shortly afterward.

Report of looting got Into circul. "tlon and Poilcs Chief Oerk ordered hi men to "ahoot to kill" anyone found looting the wreckage. Governor Baker gave local military authorities a free rein In marshalling the Missouri nstlonsl gusrd and soon the streeki assumed something of alnsrtltl aspect as guardsmen of St.

"The childish spite and rebellion on the part ot the Chicago clu' has been matched, even outdone, oy petty tactics of the office of. commissioner of baseball.
