STORM AND FIRE DEVASTED NOME
Sea Swept. Over Alaskan Town and Fire Broke Out in Wrecllage- The POpulace Is in
 Dire Need.

Nome, Alaska, Oct. Fire has broken out in the storm stricken city of Nome and the flames have attacked the Pacific cold storage plant, where is stored the chief supply of meat for the winter. The fire apparatus was destroyed in the gale.
 Front street is a seething mass of wreckage, into which seas are breaking, while hundreds of home less persons are struggling to save necessities of life. Receding seas are carrying away the contents of wrecked houses and stores, as well as parts of wrecked structures. None of the buildings on the sandspit remain standing and the leveled structures there are in flames. This part of the commit nity is cut off by the turbulent waters.
The Mena weekly star., 1913-10-09

Washington, Oct. 6.-The revenue cutter Bear is now on it's way from Unalaska to Nome. No official re- port has reached here regarding the storm which wiped out the Alaskan city, but the Bear is ex- pected to reach Nome in a day or two and probably will make a re- port of the needs of the people.

 There will be much suffering and outside help will be required. Win ter it at hand and it will be impos- Sible to get in supplies needed.
 Five Hundred Homes Gone.
 The steamships Victoria and Cor win, which were lying in the road stead, ran to the open sea and es- capped damage. All the small boats on the beach were destroyed.
 Five hundred houses have been demolished and more are falling.

WASHINGTON. oct. 19.-The pres
ident Of the United States is to take
n hand in deciding the question Of
whether Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst.
militant suffragette OF England. shall
be admitted TO this country.
President Wilson tonight called a
conference for early tomorrow with
Secretary Wilson OF the department
of labor and Commissioner General
Caminetti OF the immigration bureau.
High government officials who are
believed to know the attitude OF the
president predicted that Mrs. Pank-
hurst would be admitted
Earlier in the day Commissioner
Caminetti. after an informal hearing
OF counsel. had declined 10 release
Mrs. Pankhurst on bond from the FL
lis Island immigration station, where
she Is being confined pending final
action on her appeal from the oredr
or deportation issued in New York
yesterday.
Mr. Caminetti informally sought
the advice of his superiors on the
questions at issue and applied to
the White House for a conference.
The president had been taking "A keen
interest in the case realizing the i'm

WASHINGTON. Oct 19-Commis-
sioner Caminetu saii to-day that his
desire was not to be rushed into a
decision Of case nationally and in
ternationally important" but that he
had done and would continue to do
all in his power To facilitate its deter

OF the law division OF the bureau Of

accounting for a hearing held on sun
day said his only reason was TO facili-
tate as much as possible this proceed
ing and that he would not violate the
spirit OF the day.
The question OF whether Mrs Pank-
hurst should be admitted or deported
was a subject OF absorbing interest
TO many in government circles. II be-
