Mexico City, Oct. 12.-Stricken
by a Hurricane, tidal wave and
cloudburst, all at the same time, the
port of Guaymas Is devastated. Fifty
bodies have been recovered, and 1t is
repofted that hundreds of Mexicans
of the lower classes persisted Many
Americans lived in Guaymas and
adjacent towns, and nothing has
been heard from them.
All of the wharves have been
wiped out, q vessels of various sorts
are wrecked, high on the shore back
Of the city, and it is estimated that
probably millions of dollars worth
OF property has been destroyed along
the 10O-mile strip of coast from
Guaymas to Medina, in the state of
Sonora.
Beginning October 4, the storm
cut off all outside communication
The following morning came the
tidal wave and the cloudburst, bury
ing Guaymas and Ortiz. After
seven hours the waters receded, only
to come again in the form of a hur-
ricane and a torrential rain, which
lasted for thre edays, and finished the
work of destruction.
The flood destroyed towns on the
eastern shore of the Gulf of Califor-
mia, Guayamas, Alataba, Toepol Bam-
po were also terribly damaged by the
same wave, which was the result of
an earthquake. The hurricane sue
ceeding the wave lasted FIVE days,
cutting off communication so that no
details Of the frlghtful disaster ar
rived until word was received from
the governor Of Hermoslllo, in Som
ora, today, asking for provisions,
tents and clothing
The governors despatch states that
from 300 to 500 perished in the tidal
wave and hurricane. 1t is impossible
to estimate the damage in property.
Ships, houses and other buildings
were swept far inland in the swirl
ana many of them were deposited
miles inland on the sand dunes.
In the wild confusion of the seas
inrush scores of men and women
were drowned in their beds, while
others were crushed under the fallen
wreckage. Men fought desperately
for pieces of wrecked buildings to
enable them to keep their heads
above the swirling waters. Many of
those who escaped drowning in the
first sweep of the wave, were washed
into the gulf as 1t receded and de-
youred by sharks which infest those
waters.
The harbors Of every one of the
ruined towns was swept clean Of
shipping,
Seventeen vessels in the harbor Of
Guaymas alone were destroyed by the
flood, and their wrecked hulks today
are piled along the shore and on the
sand dunes of the interior
Heart rending tales of the disaster
are told by the survivors, scores
upon scores Of whom, the governor

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct. 12.-Well
satisfied with the position taken by
Judge Bordwell that veniremen may
be questioned regarding their preju-
dice either against labor unions as
a body or membership in such, attor-
neys for James B. Mcnamara spent
today framing questions which would
be comprehensive and also come
within the order of the court. They
agreed that under the ruling made 1t
would be possible to get at the feel
ing of veniremen, so far as organized
labor is concerned, and this will aid
in safeguarding peremptory chal-
lenges and in securing the excuse of
obnoxious candidates for jury duty
for cause"
There was no session of court to-
day becasue It was legal holiday
but both prosecution and defense
busted themselves scanning venire
lists and looking up the code pro-
visions to fortify themselves for the
struggle which will be resumed to-
morrow.
The fact that both sides clashed
over the Interpretation of the law
within five minutes of the opening
of the examination of the first ven
fireman showed the intensity of the
feeling existing. 1t is certain that
no point will be gained in the strug-
gle for position without a fight.

hotel, each car filling according to
program. There was a little tug of
war as to who should sit with the
president, Congressman Hawley or
Governor West. 1t was finally de-
cided in favor of the governor. At
the breakfast table some one spoke
Of the possibility of Governor West,
of Oregon being in the race with
President Taft as opposing candi-
date. Governor West is to have his
picture and speech introducing Eva
Booth, the Salvation Army leader, in
the next issue of the Warcry, with
his saying that he would rather have
his daughter become a Salvation
Army lassie than occupy the proudest
throne in the world as queen. This
will make him a national figure as
the best governor in the United
States in the minds of a class who
cannot be reached by any other poll
tician. President Taft spoke up at
once as having met Eva Booth in
Washington, and that he considered
her one of the grandest women in the
guests at the table realized that they
were sitting in the presence of two
of the greatest politicians in the
country.
Parade Held Up.
On State street a mob of VILLAIN
cite University students held up the
parade with the university yell
nI, Doh
president halted the parade and as he
arose, the crowd of college boys and
girls cheered him over and over.
The president made a short talk and
advised the boys and girls to study
the science of government and thus
be able to meet any of the eXigen-
cies of popular government. The
halt of two minutes, which was
punctuated with cheers and three
cheers at his departure, gave the
Grand Army of the Republic an OPP
portunity to catch up with the par
ade of automobiles. The old veter-
ans plodded along, carrying their de-
partment flag and the national colors,
but no further attention was paid to
them. They wheeled about and
stacked colors on the court house
square in front of the speaking stand,
and the president there gave them a
graceful recognition.

From the hotel up Commercial to

ASHURST ON THE
POLITICAL ISSUES

The Hon. Henry F. Ashurst,
who is aspiring to be one of the
first u. S. Senators, of whom
there are two to be elected, ol
the State of Arizona, spoke to a
large and appreciative audience
at the band stand Saturday
evening. A large crowd of la
dies were among the audience to
hear Mr.. Ashurst, which pleased
that gentleman very much. On
account of a little drizzling rain,
Mr.. Ashurst did not speak as
long as he wished.
District Attorney w. P. Geary
introduced to the crowd Mr..
Ashurst, who is we'll known to
the people of Winslow and for
that matter, all over Navajo
county. In opening his speech,
Mr. Ashurst declared himself a
candidate on the democratic
ticket for Senator, and that he
was here to talk for himself and
not to knock his opponents. He
gave good reasons why he wish
ed to be Senator and told what
should be done for working men
throughout the country by way
of legislation in Congress. which
he hopes to bring about, if elect
ed. He declared he would in no
way be influenced by any cor
pOration and never had any
affliatlon with any corporations
that would try to influence him
in any way, although believing
IN a fair deal for everyone, both
the rich aud the poor. He said
he believed in the recall, and
hoped that at the very first meet
ing of the legislature that the
same would be made law.
From all accounts everyone
present seemed to be we'll pleased
with his declarations and no
doubt Mr.. Ashurst will be a
lively candidate in the coming
campaign.
