Consul General Hanna. az Monterey.
Mexico. forwarded TO the State De-
Dartment today an appeal from the Of
fcers of the association Of the Ameri-
can colony for aid for the victims OF
the flood disaster.
He says in his dispatch that several
hundred were drowned and thousands
are homeless.
1t is evident from Hanna's report that
every person in Monterey has suffered
loss OF some kind. and many Of the
poorer classes are entirely destitute
The appeal calls attention to the fact
that Monterey, a city Of 10000 people
does s. per cent of it's foreign trade
with the United States.
The State Department. which cannot
tako action officially In providing re-
lief, referred the appeal to the Red

concluded. but a few seconds. when
Waters saw his erstwhile sweetheart

four other women.
Raising his gun 70 his shoulder, Wa
ters was heard TO say, TIL settle it
now" and fired both barrels at the
woman She fell TO the ground, and
Waters deliberately reloaded the gun
and fred into the prostrate form.

crowd at bay until he escaped into the
woods.

sent for. and went to the camp in an
automobile. but the woman died a few
minutes before ne arrived.
Magistrate Mortimer Ward, Of Marion,

and held an inquest. The verdict was
that the woman met her death as the
results OF shots fired from a gun in
the hands Of Waters.

The disappointment OF the Emperor

who gathered at Berlin. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Count Zeppelin was
greeted with great acclaim when he
