Magnitude of the
East Coast Disaster.

AS reports of the destruction by
the recent storm along the East
Coast continue to come in the magni
tude OF the disaster, especially in the
great loss of life, becomes more ap
parent and the hurricane viii go down
in history as the most appalling cal,
amity that ever visited the fair state
OF Florida.
At last reports 1t is estimated that
fully four hundred lives were lost
south Of Miami alone, most of the
victims being laborers employed In
constructing the Key West extension
of the Florida East Coast railway who
were domiciled in houseboats or tenn
porary structures on the keys, ex
posed to the full fury OF the terrific
gale.
While the death list Is. appalling, |,
is much less than expected when the
first adyices of the storm were re-
.ceived, for between six and seven
thousand men were at work building
the line southsof Miami, all Of whom
were practically in the direct track OF
the storm and exposed to its fury.
In wind velocity the storm was not
as great as the hurricane that struck
Pensacola on September 1927, and
the PROPERTY damage along the East
Coast is small compared with the de
struction wrought in West Florida
and along the coast of Alabama and
mississippi. In casualties, however
the East Coast storm is the worst
In the history of the state.

to the storm fiend. The news Of
Miami's great misfortune will be read
everywhere with deepest regret.
Scarcely had Pensacola's tale of hur-
ricane and disaster ceased to cause
comment when this latest story OF
loss and ruin comes to claim public
sympathy and help From the reports
OF the storm received here, it is evil
dent that the Magic City has sus-
tanned severe damage. 1t is to be
hoped that the storm did not sweep
across the Florida keys, where the
work of building the extension of the
Florida East Coast Railway is in
progress. If it did, there is bound to
be loss of life, il indeed this has NOT
occurred right in Miami. Complete
details OF the disaster are anxiously
awaited.-St. Augustine Record.

the propriety Of printing something

The editor later wrote T.. T. Jamme,
secretary Of the chamber, and IN re-
Spouse Mr.. yomme prepared an article
giving the history Of the chamber since
its organization twenty-five wears ago,

The Chicago Board Of Trade has
taken exception to the article. That

PERMITS A REGISTRY TAX
F. B. SNYDER ADVANCED A REA-
SON FOR SUPPORT OF WIDE
OPEN TAX AMENDMENT.

F. B. SNYDER, who was leading ad-
vocate of tax reform when in the state
senate, is heartily in favor Of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution re-
lating to taxation. In answer to ques-
ton today he said:~~
''Most certainly / shall vote for it,,
and sincerely believe that it will be
of great benefit to the people Of the
state if adopted. For example, with
this amendment in force we could pro-
vide for a registry tax on mortgages
to take the place of other taxation.
The vast majority of mortgages, owned
as they are by foreign corporations,
pay absolutely no tax at all. New
York has law of this nature, provid-
ing a registry tax of one-half Of per
cent, paid when the mortgage is placed
on record. The law is working admir-
ably and bringing much more revenue
into the treasury than was anticipated
when it first went into effect; many
times more than the state collected I'M
to our present law.
"With law of this sort it makes
no difference whether the mortgage is
resident of Minnesota or not. The
tax must be paid before the mortgage
| can be recorded. H..
Gas the constitution is today we are
forced to legislate directly against our
| home people and in favor Of the for.
eign investor. Now that we have q
chance to correct that condition, it
would be a great mistake on our part
| not to do 50. -..t ~.

DEATH .LURKED
IN CANNED PEAS
MRS. LINTON ELLIOTT DIES OF
| PToMAINE POISONING.
The Poison Acted Upon Weak Heart,
Bringing Death Most Unexpectedly
Mr.. and Mrs. Gideon E. Clark, with
Whom She Dined, Were Also Made
Seriously Ill.

Mrs. Linton Elliott was found dead
in her bed yesterday morning at her
home, 3 Crocus Terrace, st. Paul. Death
is supposed to have resulted from
ptomaine poison in canned peas, acting
upon the heart, which was weak.
Mrs. Elliott was the sister of Mrs.
Gideon p; Clark. 2730 Dupont av S,
sisters house and partook of a dish in
which the canned peas had been used.
Other members of the family who ate
Of the same dish were taken violently
i'll within a few hours. Mr.. Clark was
the first to feel the effects, exhibiting
all the symptoms of severe ptomaine
poisoning. On Saturday, Mrs. Clark
was taken i'll and is still confined to
her bed, her case being complicated by
9 severe shock by lightning early in
September.
Meantime Mrs. Elliott had returned
to her home in st. Paul. Her hus-
band, who travels for the National Rub
Der company of Chicago, returned from
Fargo Saturday afternoon to find her
suffering. A physician was called and
Mrs. Elliott retired seemingly more
comfortable. When her death was dis
covered yesterday morning the condi.
end had come some hours before, appar-
emily without struggle. She was
known to have had a weak heart which
would have been especially suscepti-
bic to ptomaine poison IA As faoa matter
so we'll developed that DR.. J. D. An
derson, who attended the Minneapolis
cases, said it was wonder that there
were not three fatalities instead of
one. E." ...-..s.
AS Pearl M. Summers, Mrs. Elliott
passed her girlhood in Minneapolis,
living with her sister, Mrs. Clark.
She attended the public schools here
and for two years was a student at the
Central high school. Following the die
tates Of a strong individuality, she gave
up her studies in order to strike out
for herself and became stenographer,
making herself a valued member of the
office staff in the employ of Moore Bros
& Sawyer. Last year she resigned he1
position and in February she was mar
ried at Omaha. A brief residence in
| Chicago was followed by removal to
St. Paul, where Mr.. Elliott's family
resides.
Mrs. Elliott was a beautiful girl who
will be mourned by host of friends
whom she made thru her associations in
school, at Fowler NJ. E. church and il
business. She was % years Of age
Her mother resides in Spokane and she

COLE HAS BIG LEAD IN
EIGHTH WARD PRECINCT

Republican leaders are iubilant over
the result of a poll taken last Friday
and Saturday, covering an entire pre-
cinct in the eighth ward. Practically
every voter in the precinct was reached
and put on record as to his preference
for governor The result Indicates that
A. l.. Cole will carry the precinct by 140
plurality over Governor Johnson.
The precinct gave over hundred
plurality for johnson two years ago.
1t is normally about two hundred re-
publican on full vote, SO the poll in
dicates that Cole will not lose many
republicans in that section of the city.
The precinct is typical of the residence
district, and the Cole managers are con-
fdent that gains will be made at the
same ratio over the city. At the same
rate Of gain, the eighth ward, which
was carried by Johnson two years ago
by 1882 plurality, will go at least 1900
| for Cole, and if Cole runs proportion
ately well in the other wards Of the
city, he will carry Hennepin county
and wipe out the big johnson plurality
| of 1904.
| The poll was taken carefully and is
worth. far more as an index Of the
situation than downtown straw votes
which are VIGOROUSLY freaky and unre-
/! liable.
