Hurricane Strikes
 Kev West And Causes
 Damage Of $2, 900, 900

Key West Fla, October n.-As a re- suit of the hurricane which struck the southern coast of Florida this morning. Key West tonight is a mass of wrecka.' and the damage to property is estiTT' 2 at $2.0oo,0OO Martial law was pro%}N5 by the mayor at o'clock and @ Key West Guards are patrolling ysS ity.
 The United States governmss IS been asked to dispatch troops heT thout de- lay to assist in patrolling the torm-swept area.
 Chaos reigns on every hand and few people remain in their homes, hundreds of which have either been totally wrecked or damaged. It is impossible at this hour to say whether there has been loss of life, but it Is feared that many lives have been claimed along the coast. It is known that many have received more or less serious injury, and reports are current that several lives have been lost, but these have not been verified.
 The storm reached its height at o'clock this afternoon when the wind reached an estimated velocity of 100 miles an hour. There was a hard, steady blow from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m, when the wind began to die down and by o'clock the center of the hurricane had passed this point
 While the hurricane is the worst that Key West has ever experienced the local weather observer announced tonight that the indications are that the entire east coast of Florida will suffer terribly to- night.

myself and some of my friends to the tory. This is the wrong view. The ac- tion is not victory or a defeat for any body and was not so intended. There has been no fight since the receivership. It was simply a case of those most heavily and directly interested in the Seaboard getting together to harmonize all inter ests and to insure peace and effective working
 Mir Williams was asked about the presi- dency. He replied:
 That is a matter which need not be discussed at present as it is expected that the whole question of the manage ment will be taken up in harmonious and friendly spirit after the ending of the receivership. I think there Is not much doubt that whatever is done will be by general agreement and after full discus sion and consideration of what would be best for the system and for the country through which 1t operates-as you will observe territory constantly extending and widening. So far as I have had op- portunity to observe and believe, the di- rectorate is now unanimous in the desire to make the Seaboard a great and valu- able property and vast factor in the buildi9g up of the south. That fs the hope l have had from the outset, and if these purposes are accomplished I shall be greatly gratified, whatever my indi- vidual relations to the system.''

 ss.> ling, but five remain at anchor, the .sS 4ers having either gone to sea or been sashed upon the beaches. The streets along tue. water front are a mass ot Hwreckage.
 Brick as well as frame buildings throughout the city suffered alike from the fury of the heavy wind and many miraculous escapes from death or serious injury have been reported. . Besides the several score of residences either totally wrecked or blown from their pillars, nine factories were partially de- stroyed. including the Havana-American, Martinez. Nichols, Ruy Lopez, Manuel Lopez, Fleitas Torris, Cortez and Wolf Cigar manufactories.
 Nos. 1 and engine houses of the city fire department were destroyed, the fire men narrowly escaping, but several of the horses were killed. The top of the First National bank was blown off, the postoffice damaged, and two running gears of the government coaling station were wrecked.
 Every telephone and electric light pole on Duval street, the principal thorough fare of the city, was blown down.
 As soon as the wind had subsided plum derng began. The city police force was unable to cope with the situation and the mayor decided to take stringent meas ures to suppress the footing, his procla- nation of martial law resulting. Almost every nationality is represented among the citys population of more than 20,0OO about one-half of whom are employed in the cigar manufactories, sponge fisheries and salvage companies.

MURDER OF WOMAN
 IS DARK MYSTERY

Tiverton, R. l., October 11.-fThe find ing of the severed legs of a woman in a dress suit case among some bushes in an outlying section of this town to- day brought to light what the authori- ties are convinced Is case of murder The discovery of Bedford newspaper of yesterdays date with the portion of the limbs is regarded as the most important clue thus far obtained, in dicating practically the place of the murder. if murder there was. The au- thorities tonight were of the opinion that the woman was murdered in New Bedford. that the legs were placed in the suit case there and brought by team or automobile to Tiverton last night.
 According to the medical examiner, pr John Stymson, the supposed mur- der was committed not more than 12 or 15 hours before the suit case was dis covered.
 That a murder was committed, and that the cutting was not done by the experienced hands of surgeon or med ical students, is the belief of the eN- aminer. who says that apparently common hand saw was used to sever the limbs from the trunk.
 A search for the other portions of the body in the woods nearby is being made. Bulger-Marsh road, on which inc suit case was found, runs from Newport to New Bedford, passing through the outslSirt of Fall River and is much used by automobile par ties, especially on Sundays when vari- ous resorts along the road are visited by people from the Massach usetts fac tory city, as we'll as from Rh ode Island towns.
 For a distance Of several miles this road runs through swamp land, covered with wild growth. The body might have lain undiscovered for days had not a rural letter carrier, George Pot ter, chanced by the spot this after nooni
 A large spot on the bottom of the one foot found indicated that the girl was accustomed to walking much, or to standing, and suggests that she may have been a working girl

Huge Wolf Is Killed.

Hammond, La., October n-After slay. ing hundreds of sheep and hogs and ter- rorzing whole communities of this par ish for the past several years, a huge wolf was killed near here yesterday. Fleeting glmpses of the beast had re- yealed its species. rarely in evidence in this state. The animal caused such havoc that the farmers in the settlements where the depradations were committed posted a reward of several hundred dollars for the killing of the wolf The carcass was placed on exhibition here yesterday, a price of 10 cents being charged to view it. Ten per cent of the amount thus realized was donated for school pur- poses
  pected to see the Secretary of State to- morrow.
 The presence here at this time of MT Fisher, the latter said. had no connec- ton whatever with MT. Cranes case Asked if he believed that MT. Crane would go to his post at Pekin, MT. Fisher re- piled:
 You know that it took a great deal of pressure from the government and much consideration on MT Cranes part before he decided to accept the minister ship to China I do not think therefore that 1t makes much difference to him whether he goes to China or not"

Sand BANK
PAYS INTEREST

How a sum of money, placed in a
sand bank, can produce an income of
eight per cent, was explained by Mrs.
Frances Hueneke yesterday in Judge
Bordwell's court. Mrs. Hueneae
brought suit against John Hueneke,
who was formerly her husband, and
Mrs. Mary NJ. Shaw, of Ocean Park,
for the recovery of $500.
1t appeared that Hueneke, accord
ing to the story told by Mrs. Hueneke,
was in need of funds when a mortgage
on the home came due. His wife, in
whose name the property stood, took
the money out of the sand bank where
she had hid it and gave it to Mrs.
Shaw. Then she told her husband to
go to Mrs. Shaw and borrow the money.
Hueneke approached Mrs. Shaw, got
the money, and paid up the mortgage.
And every month thereafter Huen-
exc promptly delivered to Mrs. Shaw
the interest on the borrowed money
while Mrs. Shaw in turn delivered the
money to Mrs. Hueneke. Thus the
money went back y the sand bank.

Formation of the Order.

February 2, 1868, the name was
changed to the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks of the United States
of America, in commemoration of the
proud monarch of the American forest,
of which animal it is said he is 'squick
and keen of perception; strong of limb
and fleet of foot, and at the same time
kind and non-aggressive, but most for
midable when attacked From this
time on, the "Jolly Corks,' changed
both their name and their attitude to-
wards mankind and life in general, and
from a reckless, thoughtless band, grew
into a strong organization which hal
for its motto the first principles of
Christianity.
The thoughtful trend of Elks became
apparent in 1872, when the organization
with two lodges and a membership
of 20o-passed the following preamble
to its constitution: 1--WE, the under
signed members of minstrel, musical,
theatrical and equestrian professions,
and those who may sympathize with
the objects hereinafter set forth in
this constitution, do hereby unite for
the welfare and happiness of each
other"
That there must have been sympi-
thizers is apparent for the reason that
in 1884 there Were IA lodges, with a
total membership of 1906. The order
continued to grow and flourish, reaching
finally from coast to coast, and inclu ling
an order in almost every village aud
city in the country, until at present,
with the spirit of that preamble before
the members, enlarged to embrace not
only "each other'', but all men, i.
includes a vast number of branches,
with a total enrolment of over 800, 900,
representative of every school of hurian
activity and e~ndeavor.

Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks. Amongst every writing and motto
of the order aims towards the closer
relationship of man and man, that the
world and it's people may be made more
generous, ~forgiving and kindly towards
each other.
Built about the first broad principle
which is the aim of every Elk, are the
four great virtues so rare as to be an
uncommon gem when found-c charity,
justice, %brotherly love and fidelity. To
these every true Elk endeavors to add
~sociability, mirth and a tender memory
of the dead.
