4 SEARCH OF THE AIR FOR WALTER WELLhAN SILENCE THROUGHOUT THE
 WIRELESS ZONE. Where the DirigibIe America" Ought
 to Have Been.

Siasconsett, Mass, Oct. 17.-Five westbound liners, in touch with each other. all anxious for news of Walter Wellman, reported to the wireless sta tion today that they have seen noth. ing or heard nothing of his dirigible airship, America
 The first ship to cah the operator here was the Finland, then no miles east of Nantucket, at 5:05 this morn ing. Then came in succession the Maine, the Philadelphia, the Ryndam, the Niagara and finally the Kron Prinz Welhelm for New York All five ships had sent out the prear- ranged "W' at frequent intervals, but no word had come back to any of westbound lane for transatlantic travel and had taken into reckoning their distance from each other and the wireless zone covered an area which they thought should have in- cluded Wellman.
 Just before the America drifted out of touch with the world, her wireless operator warned the station here that juice was precious" It is therefore thought here today that she may be husbanding her strength. All stations in this chain and all vessels reporting tell of heavy rains and a violent elec- trical storm on Sunday evening. fol- lowed by continued fine weather and a calm sea.

NO TOURNAMENT OF
 FIREMEh THIS YEAR
Fair Commissions Allowance insuffi- cient to Meet Purses Desired

There will be no firemen's tourna- ment in Phoenix this year This was
 decided at a meeting of the Phoenix
 fire department yesterday, called to
 consider the action of the fair com
 mission on Saturday of allowing $350
 for the holding of tournament dur

 out by the committee from the fire
 department that between $500 and s90O would be necessary for the hold ing of a successful meet and when
 it was found that the fair commits
 sion would devote but s350 for the firemen, it was thought that it might be possible to secure the additional funds by canvassing among the local business men.
 At the meeting of the fire depart ment yesterday it was decided that lo- cal business men had been asked to contribute so often to various pro- jects from which they secured but indirect benefit, that it would be It, tie short of an imposition to ask them to finance a tournament According ly there will be no tournament this year. but next year it is likely that one of the biggest tournaments ever held in Arizona will be held inde- pendentiy of the fair.

FRANCE SOWN
 WITH BOMBS Believed to Be Work of
 Anarchists AND NOT THE STRIKERS Fresh Outrages in Which Calamities Were Narrow ly Averted Have Con vinced Police of Wide spread Conspiracy.
AND NOT THE STRIKERS

Paris. Oct. 17.-BOmb outrages in connection with the railroad strike reached a climax today in an at tempt to wreck a passenger train in Versailles. A bomb was thrown at the entrance of the tunnel to Chan tiers station at a moment when a passenger train was due from Dreux. The bomb struck the limb of a tree and bounding off. landed beside the tracks, exploding with terrific force
 This and other Outrages have spur red the authorities to new efforts. The police attribute the bomb throw ing to anarchists and fighting revO- lutiOnists. They do not think the rank and file of strikers are respon- sible. The frequency of their at tempts convinces them that they are confronted with a far-reaching con- spiracy.
 Attempts at train wrecking are re- ported from various parts of France and serious catastrophes have been narrowly averted. Dynamite was found today strewn along the tracks near Mirames, and an attempt was made to blow up a bridge spanning the river Loire nearby.
 A bomb was found near a bridge at Firmini, which was intended to ex- plode upon the passage of the first train. Another was found in the first class coach of a train near Reuilly It contained enough dynamite to blow the train to atoms.
 The police have arrested several additional strike leaders on the charge of fomenting disorders. A large number of strikers are in pris- on. The garrison of Paris. which had already been reinforced was fur ther strengthened today by two reg iments. The troops will be employ ed to protect property.
 Six hundred women, wives of strik- CTS, attempted a parade tonight. They carried placards. summOning the wO- men of France to oppose the scan dalOus Opulence of the financiers." and help alleviate the misery of the small wage earners. The police dis persed the women, arresting several

STORM SWEPT ISLE IF CUBA Loss VIII Aggregate Many
 Millions NATIONS AID IS NEEDED
Three Provinces, Including the City of Havana, Els
 pecially Ravaged by Hur- ricane, Torrential Down
 pour, Wind Driven Waves

Havana, Oct. 17.-For hours during the night and all morning, Cuba was in the grip of a storm, which blew with great velocity from the southwest and attained its greatest force shortly before noon.
 Then the wind shifted to the west and the sea began to rise. the waves sweeping in upon the city. Within an hour the water broke a breach through the Malecon sea wall. The waves en- gulfed the MalecOn driveway. and flooded the Hankim residence district for a distance of a mile. The water, still rising. invaded all the seaward part of the city until o'clock in the afternoon, when one section was sev- eral feet under water. Residents of lower floors were forced to take refuge on higher levels. Detachments of sol diers and others with boats dragged from the harbor hastened to the sub merged district and rescued hundreds from buildings that threatened to col lapse.
 Vedado residential suburb, was exposed to the full fury of the storm IHe StSt duA dICtu sOIle uuHuTeu NdIuS inland, demolishing many small struc- lures and probably causing loss of life
 A rumor that the city had been struck by tidal wave added to the general panic. which was allayed short ly after 3 o'clock when the wind abated and the water ceased to rise.
 The jail at the foot of the Prado was completely surrounded by water and the prisoners, mad with fear, clung to the bars and demanded to be taken to a place of safety. Armed guards held them in check with rifles until the water began to recede.
 Practically all communication with the interior is cut off and news of the effect of the storm in other parts of the island is lacking. but it is feared that the damage is enormous, especially in Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces All divers buoys, stakes and other marks around the Maine were swept away. This probably will delay seri- Ously the work of raising the wreck The wind and rain have ceased tonight.

Work will be resumed on all lines tomorrow. The collapse Of the strike is primarily due to the stringent measures taken by Premier Briand, who called to the col ors a majority of the strikers. thus compelling them to do service as re- serves. The premier also placed under arrest many strike leaders and used the military forces without restraint for the protection of life and property.
 After having broken the back of the strike Briand successfully arranged a practical settlement, whereby the chief demands of the men were met.

THE WORST IN HER HISTORY

Havana, Oct. 1.-The island of Cuba probably sustained the greatest material disaster in all her history in a practically continuous hurricane that began with light rains on Thurs day morning, and developed into tor rental floods and hurricanes that con- tinued until this evening. The first storm. of which there was some warn ing, had barely abated on Sunday night, when suddenly the wind changed from southeast to southwest. Cyclonic blasts swept over Matan- gas, Pinar del Rio and Havana prov inces, completing the destruction wrought by the first storm.
 Property losses doubtless will ag gregate millions of dollars. Many thousands of peasants in the three western provinces have been render ed homeless, and it seems that the republic may be compelled to request international aid In the city of Havana the losses probably will eX- ceed one million mainly due to the destruction of customs house sheds, which were filled with perishable goods, and the sinking of scores of lighters. many of them containing valuable cargoes, and the submerging of about one square mile of the resi- dential section.
