the st. Louis Cardinals and who cleared
$60,00 0 on the game last year?
She just loves baseball
The Cardinals hnve been Mrs. Brit
tons very w for a year or more. Hei
uncle, Stanley Robson, former traction
magnate. of Cleveland, and baseball cap
%italist, owned the team for yeats, aud
when he died left the property to her.
Just how much this society and
baseball magnate loves the game Is told

Winning First and Fifth.
STANDING OF REPUBLICANS
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

Chicago, Ill.-Eighteen delegates
for President Taft and eight del
egates for Col. Roosevelt resulted
from decisions by the Republican ma
tional committee in contests from
Mississippi, Missouri and North Caro-
lima. In the North Carolina cases, dis
putes between rival Roosevelt dele
cations were settled, clearing the
colonel's title to four delegates.
The Missouri contests which threat
ened another spectacular battle be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces
were compromised so effectively that
the committee was unanimous in CIV
ing Roosevelt eight and Taft six of
the contests delegates. The count in
Missouri now stands; Roosevelt, 90;
Taft, 8; uninstructed, s. The unin-
structed delegates are Taft men.
The basis for the compromise for
the district contests lay in the fact
that they involved complicated state
ments of material facts, the evidence
of which is now to be heard by the
credentials committee of the conven-
ton.
At the end of a week of constant
work over the contested delegations
the committee has given President
Taft a total of 1853 delegates and Col.
| Roosevelt a total of 10.

rifle Blow-Shipping Suffers.

New Orleans, lathe most Sc
we're windsorm since the storm
in September, 1909, swept Louisi-
ana and the gulf coast and caused
damage that will reach a high figure.
From nearly every section Of the state
and the Mississippi coast come re-
ports of heavy losses.
Small shipping, including oyster and
fishing boats, was particularly hard
hit. Rumors of loss of life are uncon-
tirmed, but there were numerous mar
row escapes.
One of the worst sufferers is Nor
gan City, La. The town, which has
$500 inhabitants, was menaced by
crevasse waters, and the storm prac-
tically wiped out the protection levees
that had held back the flood, and to-
day the main streets are under water
more than four feet deep.
At Gulfport, Miss, the wind reached
an alarming velocity, but there was
no damage other than to fences, trees,
roofs and outbuildings. At Pass Chris
tian, Miss, a wharf was smashed by
a steamer which broke from her moor
ings.

FIND HOUSES lNAA5lTARLE, IF
NOT IN RUIN.
No Word Is Received From Settle
ment on Mainland at Foot of
katmai Volcano.

Cordova, Alaska.-Wireless mes
sages received from the revenue
cutter Manning, in Kodiak harbor, and
from the Alaska Packers association
fishing stations at Karluk, Chignik
and Naknek, said there had been no
report of loss of life on the island.
No word has been received from the
settlement on the mainland at the foot
of Katmai volcano, where the greatest
suffering exists, if any of the people
of that section survived the eruption.
Capt. Kirkland w. Perry Of the Man
ming reported no more eruptions had
occurred and that the air was slowly
clearing of the smoke and ash.
The refugees aboard the Manning
have regained confidence with the re-
turn of normal air conditions and are
leaving the ship to endeaVor to reach
their former homes, which lie in ruins.
Nearly all the houses are in ruins
and those that are not are uninhab-
table because Of the fine silt which
drifted through every crevice making
useless stores of food and clothing.
The problem of feeding the desti-
tute is a serious one. Efforts are be-
ing made to reach the government ex-
detrimental farm neal Kodiak, which
was stocked with a large herd of i'm
ported cattle and sheep. These, if
found in fit condition will be used for
food.
The only water the people at Ko-
diak are using is that distilled from
sea water by the Manning, all other
supplies having been polluted.
No game has been seen on Kodiak
Island since the eruption began, and
it is probable that wild animals and
