ISLAND SWEPT BY
STORM; ZOO LOST
MANY Perish in Tidal Wave and
Collapse of Buildings on
Isle Off Naples

NAPLES, Oct. 24.-The Island of
Tschia, in the Mediterranean sea, six
teen miles southwest of the city of
Naples, has been storm-swept. First
reports reaching here gave a very con-
siderable loss of life from tidal wave,
but the latest reports indicate the vic
tins will number about 200.
1t is believed several persons were
killed by the collapse of houses, but
the body of only one woman has been
recovered.
Naples suffered from a furious storm
of wind and rain last night, and all
today, the damage amounting to mil
lions.
The suburbs were even NOR, seri-
ously affected, several persons being
killed. The surrounding country has
been devastated, great quantities of
grapes and vines, besides trees, walls
and parts of houses being scattered
about in all directions.
An avalanche of stones and mud
rushed down Mount VesuVius above
the lava line of the eruption of 1906. 1t
swept all before it as far as the town
of Portici. 1t wrecked the tram line
and engulfed nearly a score of victims.
Up to the present there is no con-
firmation of the report that Ischia suf-
fered from a tidal wave or seismic
disturbance. 1t was in the direct path
of the hurricane.

WARSHIPS ORDERED TO AID
VICTIMS OF STORMS WRATH

ROME, Oct. 24.-The ministry of the
interior this evening received word of
a tidal wave at Casamicciola, on the
island of Ischia, that drowned 200 per-
sons. Communication with the island
has been interrupted and verification
of the report is impossible.
The ministry of the interior has
ordered four men-of-war to hurry to
te scene with men and supplies.
Casamicciola Is twelve miles south
west of Pozzuola at the foot of Mount
Epomeoz. 1t was nearly destroyed by
an earthquake in July, 1888, when
about 1900 lives were lost. 1t has since
been rebuilt and has a population of
about 4000
The hurricane caused much destruc-
ton along the coast of the province of
Salesno. The town of Cetara, on the
Gulf of Salerno, is reported to have
been destroyed. Twelve bodies have
been taken from wrecked houses, and
there are many injured.
Revised lists place the number of
dead in the storm zone as high as 200

NEW STEAMERS TO
BRING INNOVATION
Meals a La Carte to Be Served
on Harvard and Yale; Own
erS Tell of Plans

"The steamers Harvard and Yale are
neither owned nor controlled by the
Western Pacific, the Salt Lake rail-
road or any other corporation but the
Pacific Navigation company, an inde-
pendent concern Incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey, and they are
being brought to the Pacific coast and
will be operated between Los Angeles
and San Francisco by that firm, re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The foregoing statement was made
lase evening by Captain n. A. Goodell,
president of the Pacific Navigation
company, and heartily seconded by
Captain ]. H. Bennett, vice president
Of the same company
1t has been known for some time that
Goodell and Bennett were the men re-
sponsible for bringing the two new
boats to this coast to engage in the
coastwise service, but owing to the
fact that neither would state just what
company was back of them, it was
persistently rumored that either the
Western Pacific, the new Gould line
into San Francisco, or the Salt Lake
route was behind the venture Now
that the company is organized and the
ships on their way here, the two pro-
moters feel at liberty to talk, and deny
the connection of any railroad with
their concern.
The two boats left New York for
Los Angeles harbor a few days ago,
and a wireless message received here
Yesterday by Captain Goodell states
that they are at San Lucas, in the
West Indies, where they put in to take
on a fresh supply of coal. They are
expected to arrive here some time be-
tween December l and and will be
put in service at once, it being eX-
pected that they will be ready for
their first trip along this coast within
a week after their arrival
With the arrival of the Yale and
Harvard an innovation in steamship
travel along the Pacific coast will be
made. Instead of passage, including
berth and meals, being sold for a fixed
sum- transportation alone will be sold
on the original ticket, the purchaser
then paying for his state room, the
price depending on the location and
size of the room. Another innovation
will be the operation of the dining
room a la carte basis. 1t is intended
to make travelling on either of the
boats similar to travelling on trains.
The new boats, according to Captain
GoOdell, are among the finest merchant
ships under the American flag. They
are licensed to carry about 1000 pas
sengers and have more than 300 state
rooms OF these rooms twenty-eight
are similar to an ordinary hotel room,
having connecting private baths.
Just what schedule of prices they
will be operated on has not been deter
mined, according to the officers of the
company here. The new ships, run
ming at high speed, could make the
trip between Los Angeles and San
Francisco in seventeen hours, but as
this speed could not be maintained
during storms, a slower schedule. one
which can be kept up at all times
probably win be put into effect.

FORM BUREAU To
FIND BALLOON|STS
Parties Will Be Sent Out by Aero
Club to Locate Post
and HaWIey

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 24.-An organ
lied effort to locate Allan r. Hawley
and Augustus Post, crew of the bal
loon America II, was inaugurated here
tonight when Edmund F. Stratton Of
New York, a member Of the Aero Club
Of America, opened a bureau to con-
duct inquiries throughout eastern
Canada, in some part of which the un-
reported aeroists are believed to have
taken the ground.
"I propose to conduct as compre-
hensive and thorough an inquiry as
can be expeditiously made" said Mr.:
Stratton, "and as soon as the drift OF
America II can be ascertained I will
send out a well provisioned searching
party from the nearest available point.
"What I propose to do in Ottawa
now is to compile g. route map and If
possible establish the definite drift of
the missing balloon. I am sending
out notification to the papers Of Can
ada, asking every one who has seen
any balloon to wire at my expense the
day, the hour, the direction and the
color of the balloon and the place last
seen.
"It may take one or two days to
collect enough information to warrant
the sending out of the searching par
ties"
Tonight marked the ending of a
week SllC6 IIlo blS pelS Sletl eCu' OGA
days ago it must have landed, accord
ing to experts.
IN CANADIAN WILDERNESS
The opinion prevails tonight that
they have landed in one of two inn
mense tracts of Canadian wilderness.
One Of these lies between Lake Huron
and Hudson bay. The other comprises
a triangle in eastern Quebec, thou
sands of square miles in extent, formed
by the Quebec & Lake st. John rail-
way of the Saguenay river and the st.
Lawrence.
Experts comforting here expressed
the opinion the missing balloonistS
would eventually turn up safely, II
they have fair skill in using what OPP
portunity for self-help the wilderness
presents, and are uninjured.
There is a spirit of friendship among
the travellers in northern Canada, both
Indians and whites. which would as
sure Hawley and Post a hearty well
come by any party they might meet.
Many of the balloons that have been
reported descended within striking dis
tance of construction camps along the
national transcontinental railway,
which is being driven across northern
Ontario and Quebec. If the America
II succeeded in passing this line, and
landed two or three hundred miles to
the north they might be safe and
comfortable and still not be heard from
for a month, or possibly until next
spring. 1t is thought it would be fu-
tile to send searching parties out there
because of the eXtensiYeness of the re-
gion.
1t is the size of a half dozen states
as large as Texas and is without rail-
way, towns or villages. To search for
the two men there would be like look
ing for a needle in a haystack But
it would be easier for the men to To-
cate an Indian camp or a prospect
ing party.
Little credence was given at Off
cial headquarters this afternoon to a
report from Quebec that the missing
men had been located and were os
their way to that city.

ILLNESS is NOT SERIOUS

ELKINS, w. Va, Oct. 24.-Because
of conflicting reports as to the condi

is ill at his home here, DR.. w. w.
Golden, the senator's physician, gave
statement to the Associated Press to-
day He says:
''The reports that the condition OF

untrue, and furthermore at no time

dition been such as to give alarm to

WARPING EUHIO'S TALK.

Delegate Kuhio did well to present
his views on the Prohibition question
in a letter to ex-senator John Lane.
Otherwise he would be the victim of
such ridiculous misrepresentation as
appears ~ the morning Prohibition
organ in he form of on alleged inter-
view between the Delegate and M,
Henshalli %
The morning organ says that Hen
shall SAYS that the Delegate told him
that he believes in it-not personally
but for.the good Of his race" Also
we are INFORMED from the same round
about source that Cupid still talks

organ tries to make it, there would

is typicat of Prohibition. II Prohibit

ness to preach a great deal and fall

very much to reform his race but not
himself. Delegate Kuhio has said

DON'T MIX The ISSUES.

Prohibitionists are showing a
marked desire to talk politics, any
thing in fact but the question of the
Prohibitions local organ ! has be-
come suddenly interested in the fac
tional differences of the Republican
party, as the time for the voting on
Prohibition approaches.
All of which shows that the Prohi-
bitipnists have wit enough to. realize
that they have losing cause. but
their only ray of hope is the POSSIBLE
y of befogging the issue at the last
l. oment by Juggling in fractional fights
Of the Republican party These fac
lional contests can have nothing to
do with the matter to be decided by
the plebiscite, but Prohibitionists ev-
identity hope to distract the voters
and reduce the public interest in the
immediate issue.
Prohibition has always found II nec-
essary to resort to subterfuges and
Misrepresentation, and the boast has
been made that the most of its
stunts; will be saved till the last
week OF the campaign. Open declara-
ton has been made of the dependence
placed on the -perjured vote.
|: Me doubt however that intelligent
voters will be misled in the next ten
days.
Defeat of Prohibition, to uphold the
present license law is the matter be-
fore the people. ,.... ....
Candidates for Mayor, and differ
ences among the members of the pre-
cinct clubs, can all wait until next
week, when the Prohibition issue will
be decided
The Republican party will live and
grow fat II the people whose ire has
been stirred by the squabbles In the
precinct clubs will bottle up their
troubles for few days and give their
undivided attention to the more i'm
portant duty of casting their votes
against the proposal to saddle this
Territory with Prohibition that will
not prohibit, but will bring to the
business enterprises a labor crisis and
start political revolution among the
electorate. Furthermore If these fac

The position in which the Prohibit
ton organ tries to put the Delegate
is like that of the man who was ready
to sacrifice all his wife's relatives in
the cause of war, but as for himself,
why, that of course was different.
Prohibitionists and Woolleyites are
mighty hard up for material with
which to fool the people when they
have to resort to such silly misrepre-
