HURRICANE HAVOC IN

Hundreds of Lives Said to Have
 Been Lost.

Key West, Fla. Oct. 13.-This city is a mass of wreckage as a result of a West India hurricane which rushed up from the gulf. At least one-half of the island city is in ruins, the property loss being estimated as at least S3,000,000.
 The city is in ntter darkness owing to the disablement of the electric light plant, and the state troops are patrol ling the streets fin order to prevent footing. The city officers have asked the United States to allow the regular troops to be used as guards until order is restored.
 IL is feared that hundreds of lives have been lost in the Florida keys, but as many wires are down details are lacking. The property loss here is appalling. Over ten of the largest cigar factories are in ruins, among them the Havana, American, Martinez and Ruy Lopez. Scores of horses were killed. and their bodies cumber the streets
 Several bank buildings were partial ly wrecked, the First National being among them. Terrible havoc was wrought on the shipping in the har- bor. There were over 100 vessels at anchor. Of these only a few are left, the others being driven out to sea or being cast on the beach.

GOVERNMENT LOSES
 PANAMA LIBEL SUIT
Federal Judge Frees Indianap, oils Newspaper Publishers.

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct 13.-Judge Anderson of the United States court here dismissed the proceedings against Delevan Smith and Charles R. Will News, who were resisting removal to the District of Columbia for trial un- der grand jury indictment charging them with having committed criminal libel in publishing articles alleging that there was d corrupt profit of sos 100000 in the sale of the Panama ca nal to the United States.
 That man has read the history of our institutions to little purpose" said Judge Anderson in concluding his de. ciSion, "who does not view with apprc- hension the success of such proceed ing as this to the end that citizens could be dragged from their homes to the District of Columbia, the seat of government, for trial under the cir cumstances of this case. The defend ants are discharged.
 Il am of the opinion," said Judge Anderson, "that the fact that certain persons were called thieves and 'swindlers' does not constitute libel per SC. A newspaper has certain duty to perform. As d former president has said, it is the duty of q newspaper to print the news and to tell the truth about it, it is the duty of a newspaper to draw infercnces for the people.
 "There were many peculiar circum- stances about the whole Panama canal busineS&. There were a number of people who thought there was some thing not just exactly right about the transaction, ard l say for myself that now feel a natural curiosity to know what. the real truth was.
 This indictment charges these de fendants with commission of n crime in the District of Columbia. Now, the one of the amendments provides that the accused shall be tried in the state or district where the offense Is com mitted.
 "Everything that the evidence shows that the defendants do or did they do and did in the state of Indiana, city of Indianapolis.
 "Where people Trint a newspaper here and deposit it in the postoflice here for circulation throughout the counties and districts there is but one publication, and that one Is here. If that is true, then there is no publica. tion, according to the evidence, il Washington"
 It was charged in the articles that William Nelson Cromwell, Douglas Robinson, Charles P. Taft and other intimate friends of President Roose welt" had knowledge of this 'swindle, as the editorials called 1t. by which a gang of spectators" had robbed their country"
