Mrs Mary w. Keith Killed at the
Crossing of the Kansas City Southern
and Texas Avenue.

AT about II O'Clock Monday forenoon
Mrs. Mary w. Keith was killed at the
crossing of the Kansas City Southern at
Texas avenue, West Shreveport
At the time Mrs. Keith was crossing
the track a train of freight cars was
backing down. Nearby was the fiagman
who saw her coming and waved her to
stop, and to this signal he urged her at
the top of his voice to avoid the danger.
He did not know that Mrs. Keith was
deaf. At the same moment the switch
man was waving to the engineer to stop,
crying out in the loudest tone of his
voice to Mrs. Keith to get off the track.
The train was backing sowly. Uncon-
scious of the danger, Mrs Keith stepped
within the rails and was knocked down
and killed Her body was severed, and
besides was horribly mangled. The ac-
cident occurred within a block of her
home, to which she was going when
killed
An inquest held by DIR. o, B. Hicks,
acting coroner representing Dr. Alex
ander who is absent from the city, dis
closed that the death of Mrs. Keith
was accidental The usual precaution
against accident at the crossing, where
there are several tracks, was taken by
the employees of the railroad. The &C
cident was. witnessed by number OF
people, in vehicles and on foot, waiting
for the track to be cleared.
The deceased was aged 43'years. and
is survived by three SONS, w. A. Keith,
who is an egineer on the Kansas City
Southern, Frank and Percy Keith, and
other relatives, to whom the fullest
sympathy is rendered in their bereave-
ment.
The body was taken to Wellman &
Co. and prepared for buriel.
The funeral will take place at 4
o'clock this afternoon from her sons
residence, w. A. Keith, 2o45 Texas
avenue.

WEATHER AND CROPS
Damage by the Tropical Hurricane.
Cotton Suffered and so Did Rice, but
the Sugar Cane District Suffered the
Greatest Loss.

New Orleans Picayune Sept 27: Dur
ing the past week the central portion of
the cotton belt has been visited by one
of the severest tropical hurricanes. ex-
perienced in many years, if not actually
the severest ever known. Naturally,
after such visitation, there are many
reports of extensive damage to cotton
As much cotton was open, there has no
doubt been damage from such open
bolls being blown off and many imma-
trre bol1s have also no doubt been
blown away. At the same time it must
be remembered that the damage from
all these storms is exaggerated and gen
orally turns out to be much less serious
than at first supposed.
Another point to be remembered Is
that this storm passed through section
of the cotton belt where the crop was
already admitted to be short and where
already considerable picking had been
accomplished. Had the more easterly
States, where there is a good crop, been
visited, the damage would undoubtedly
have been much greater While the
storm will no doubt help to still further
curtail an already short crop, it is prob
able that in the long run the actual
damage from that cause will be the
least evil the crop has had to suffer
from.
Other crops than cotton naturally suf-
fered from the storm to a greater OF
| less extent Fortunately, the rice crof
in very large portion of the storm
area had aready been gathered, while il
the more westerly portions of the rict
belt the force of the wind was not near
ly so great, so that the damage to that
portion of the crop still unharvesteC
will not be great.
In the sugar district the storm wa:
felt at its worst, and the damage don
has been correspondingly great, inciud
ing not only the blowing down of tn
/ cane, but more or less serious danag
to sugar houses and other farm prop
erty. Even in the sugar district, how
ever, it is more than probable that tn
loss will be less than first expected
Blown down cane seldom loses muc
from that experience, whie there is We
time to make necessary repairs to ST
gar houses.

ADMIRAL SEMMES
The Centennial of the Hero of the Con
federate Navy Observed With Ap-
propriate Ceremony.

In Mobile, in Montgomery and in
other cities and town of Alabama and
in New Orleans, the one hundredth an
niversary of the birth of Admiral
Semmes was observed with appropriate
ceremony. The day had been designat-
ed for special observance by General
Clement A. Evans, Commander in
Chief of the organization of United
Confederate Veterans.
Admiral Semmes was born i'll Charles
County, Maryland, September 27, 1909.
In 1926 he was appointed midshipman
in the United States Navy, and in the
ensuing winter made his first cruise III
the sloop of war Lexington. He saw
service during the war with Mexico,
assisted at the landing of General lay
lor's army at Monterey and was present
at the taking of the City of Mexico.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he
resigned his commission and lmme-
diately offered his services to the Con-
federate States Government. He pur-
chased the Habana, a propeller packet
CT 500 tons plying between New Or
Ie;ns and Cuba, and hastily equipped
Ter as a commerce destroyer. This yes
sci he renamed the Sumpter and sue
oeeded in taking her out of New Or
leans, which was blockaded by the Fed
erals. For several months he cruised
along the coast of South America and
made many rich captures.
In the latter part of 1861 he crossed
the Atlantic and arrived at Cadiz jan
uary 2, 1862. Being closely blockaded
at Gibraltar he sold his ship and with
several of his officers went to England,
thence to the Bahama Islands. Soon af,
terwards he was commissioned captain
and sent to England to take command
of the new ship building in the Mersey
for the Confederate States.
Captain Semmes commissioned the
vessel the Confederate man of war
Alabama, and on August "a, 1862, began
a series of daring and successful cruises
lasting. nearly two years. On January
II. 1863, he fought and sank the United
States steamer Hatteras off Galveston.
The following June he encountered in
the English Channel off Cherbourg the
United States ship Keersarge, in COM
nand Of Cantain Winslow. After one
Of the most desperate nava battles of
the war; Semmes surrendered and
twenty minutes later the Alabama sank.
Captain Se1Anes escaped by jumping
overheard, and few months later re-
turned home and was commissioned a
rear admiral With the close of the war
he returned to his home in Mobile and
devoted the remainder of his life to the
practice of law. His death occurred on
August 80, 1877.

Montgomery OF NatChcZ, MISSISSIPPI,
Found Dying Near Santa Fe, n NJ,
Sunday Morning.
The relatives and the friends of Miss
Gertrude Montgomery in. this city were
startled with horror when apprised that
she had been assaulted by a rufian Sun
day morning and left for dead in a
desert near Santa Fe, n. NJ.
Since then it has been disclosed, as
reported by telegram, that she was not
criminally assaulted as first stated,
but the theory of suicide has been ad-
vanced, unsupported by facts, although
sustained in part by circumstances sur
rounding her death.
The victim in this instance, Miss Ger
trudc Montgomery, was aged 80 years.
She had qualified herself for teaching
and had expected position in a school
in New Mexico. Before going to Santa
Fe she had spent about six months in
Shreveport with her sister, Mrs w. H..
Polk, whose husband is engaged i'll the
real estate business and is numbered
with the progressive citizens of Shreve-
port Miss Montgomery was the daugh-
ter of Mrs Montgomery of N2tchez
whose father, General Clark, was Gov
ernor of Mississippi The family stand
high in the public esteem of Mississippi,
and in her home in Natchez Miss Mont
gomery was generally beloved Being
ambitious, she was seeking, as othel
worthy women, aafeld for her endeav-
ors. She had been promised school
in New Mexico and there she went
The circumstances connecting her de
mise with suicide are in the statement
that in her trunk in her boarding house
there were found 32-calibre cartridges
her mothers address on a piece of pa
per, and money in an envelope on which
was written for room rent which
would indicate that Miss Montgomery
was thoughtful and prudent and meth
odical, and as others of her sex, would
leave such index Of information in thC
