KEEP THE TELEGRAPH
COMPANIES BUSY REPAIRING

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May Inlay
day, following the windstorm which
caused perhaps 100 deaths throughout
the southern states, was passed by
the telegraph companies i'm repairing
their wires. With the overland line
of communication from Louisville TO
New Orleans once established, anthem
tic lists of the victims of the storm
may be secured.
1t has been years since the winds
have gathered so many victims. Ten
nessee, sloping westward from the Nir-
ginia mountains to the dunes along
the Mississippi, provided an angle for
the wind to pivot on. and the list Of
present dead in that state seems 10
have been corroborated. Arkansas, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Georgia also
suffered Word from Guthrie, KY,
early today is that six persons were
killed there, the only fatalities in Ken
lucky. so far as is now known. Louisl-
ana and Texas seem to have been un-
scathed. but poor communication makes
even this doubtful.
As far east as Mount Sterling. Ny,
barns and houses were unroofed, to-
bacco beds washed away, turnpikes
made rivers of water, and fires started
in overturned dwellings.
At Frankfort the same conditions
prevailed only less severely.
All counties from the Mississippi
river to the Big Sandy have similar
reports.

CONVICT DECLARES
COURT IN ST. LOUIS
INSISTS HE'S DEAD
Claims He Is Man for Whom Relatives
Seek Insurance and That He
Was Dragged Ten
Years Ago

ST. LOUIS, May Another develop
ment in the strangest insurance case in
legal history was revealed today. when
attorneys for the New York Life In
surance company filed in the federal
circuit court the deposition of con-
Wet in the Auburn, n. Y, prison. The
convict, Andrew J. White, declared he
was George A. Kimmel, cashier of the
Farmers State bank of Arkansas
City, Kans. who disappeared more
than ten years ago.
The witness tells a story of having
been drugged and imprisoned for three
weeks in a rooming house at st. Louis.
His identity as Kimmel is denied by
KimmePs relatives who are suing for
insurance on his life.
Kimmel had been declared dead by
the st. Louis courts, but the United
States circuit court of appeals has de-
clared the evidence insufficient and the
judgment against the insurance COM
pany was reversed.
A short time after insuring his life
for s25O 900, in 1895 in favor of his sis
ter, Mrs. Edna K. Bonstett, Kimmel
from Arkansas City. The
eonvict's deposition consists of 700
typewriter pages, throughout which
he endeayors TO identify himself as
Kimmel.
He explains his disappearance by
declaring a relative was implicated in
embezzling 100000 from the Pacific Ex-
press company, and that he had dam
aging evidence against him. He de-
clared the relative and others caused
him to be drugged and kept a prisoner
in st. Louis.
After escaping from st. Louis, the
convict says, he went east, and was
given a prison sentence for forgery. The
case will be tried here.

10000 SEAMEN ARE
INVOLVED IN FIGHT
Labor Unions on Great Lakes Start
Struggle Against Lake Carriers
Association-lntern
Asked to lndorse

CHICAGO, May 1.-The strike of
labor unions on the Great Lakes against
the Lake Carriers association. or, more
correctly, their formal refusal to ship
on boats controlled by the association,
was put into fun operation today at
all ports.
It is estimated that probably 1900
seamen of all classes are involved in the
great struggle. Almost 5000 are now said
to be employed on boats controlled
by the carriers. and these were sched-
uled to leave the vessels this morning
in port or as soon as they came in from
the sea.
Thousands are idle today in Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo and other centers,
and the next move of the leaders will
be to request the general officers of the
International Seamen's union to come
to the Lake district and indorse the
strike.
General secretary of the International
union, W. H. Frazier, is at East Bos-
ton. but will Immediately get in touch
with the situation. He probably will
join George Hansen, agent of the Lake
Seamen, at Buffalo, and President An
drew F'uruseth of San Francisco will
come to Chicago.
About 400 boats are controlled by the
Lake Carriers association.
