 by a Hurricane
ENTIRE COAST OF NORTH CARO-
 LIMA DESoLATED
AN ISLAND SUBMERGED
Fear That 500 Inhabitants of oeracoke Have Perished-strsets Flooded, Buildings crumbIe and Crops Ruined,

Charlotte N. C., Sept. 4-Ecenes of desolation mark virtually the entire North Carolina coast as the result of the hurricane which struck this sec tion yesterday. Despatches just com ing in over makeshift lines of conmu- nication indicate that the town of Bell Haven is wiped off the map while the town of Washington, N. C., suf feTed from the wind and lost heavily by floods. The loss in Beaufort coun- ty, in which Washington Is situated. alone will exceed s2,000,0 ,000 1t is e9- timated.
 Buildings crumbIed.
 Bridges were swept away by the high waters and the wind at Wash ington where buildings crumbled un- der the fury of the blast as they did at Morehead City Oriental, Bayboro and q number of the smaller towns.
 At Newborn several streets were in- undated and the thoroughfares were lined with debris, The damage in that city probably will exceed $500, 900. To add to the terror of the citizens fire broke out during the tempest and was controlled with difficulty. Two rail- road bridges, one of them a mile long, were swept away.
 Growing Crops a Total Loss.
 In Aurora fifteen houses were des- troyed while at Vandemere the dam age was heavy. In this city more than 200 cattle and hogs were drowned and tonight their carcasses are lying in the streets, a serious menace to the public health Throughout eastern North Carolina, growing crops are virtually a total loss. and no estimate of the devastating effect of the wind and rain can be made tonight. It is be- heved. however, to be incalculable.

KANSAS CITY JUDGE

Narrow Skirts and Trim Figures Do
 Not Mean immortality.

Kansas City. Mo. Sept. 4-"There is nothing immoral in the slit skirt. diaphanous gown or any other present form of woman's attire. Narrow skirts and trim figures do not mean immo- rality. as some insist. One of the most vicious epochs of society was when hoopskirts were worn"
 This statement was made today by Judge Ralph S. Iatshaw of the crim- inal court when asked by persons fur therfng q campaign against extreme styles in women's dress for his opfn- i6n of their causes. The campaign is being conducted through churches and social organizations.
 The women of today continued Judge Latshaw, have only one idea in view--to dress in a manner that ap- pea1s to men. Well, hasn't 1t always been such7
 tew7y men and women should be ashamed of ths most wonderful ma chine that ever has been made, and why Wosnen should be called inann0dest if she allows any part of that machine except her hands and face to be seen is 8 question without an answer, I rctnetnbsF when it was considered ina- modest for woman t8 arrange her coiffuFe in s manner that would show her ears.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept 4-WhiIe competing against five male yachts men in the annual dory races off Fair field beach this afternoon, which con- test was witnessed by hundreds of fashionable New York and Connect 1cut people, Miss Edith Riker daughter of Andrew L. Riker, vice president of the Locomobi1e Company of America, had a close call from drowning, when her dOry was hit by a squall about two miles off Penfield Reef lighthouse and overturned

Brett, IT,, of New York, and Arthur Talcott of New Rochelle. They had rounded the reef and were out of view of Miss Rtker' s ,dory and therefore continued the race unaware of her plight.
 The overturning of the dory was plainly seen from the shore, however, and men put off in rowboats and after a hard battle succeeded in reaching the girl and bringing her ashore, lit tie the worse for her adventure. Pit sieto won the race and was awarded a silver cup presented by Henry Row land of Fairfield

Wilson and Bryan Feel step Toward
 Peace Has Been Made.

Washington, Sept 1. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have adopted the attitude that tn eelimina- tton of Victoriano Huerta from the p1 esidential race in Mexico is assured and that the first step toward the es- tablishment of peace in Mexiyo has been accomplished.

 That oral assurances had been given Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge d'af- faires of the American embassy. of Huerta's intention not to be a candi- date in the approaching elections.
 That the United States would con- strue literally the argument in the second note of Federico Gamboa, Mex ican minister of foreign affairs, who pointed out at great length that a pro- vistonal president in Mexico Is ineligi- ble to succeed himself
 That any effort on the part of HuAr- ta to eifeumvent the constitution by Pesigning in advance of the elections in favor of aRsther provisional presi- dent would be regarded by the United States as a breach of faith before the world

George Conan
 Badly Injured
HIS 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
 MAY NOT LIVE
AUTO TURNED TURTLE
His Leading Man, Secretary and chauf- feur Also Sustain Serious Injuries in an Accident Near Hartford.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 4.-Thrown from their speeding automobile when it struck a garbage wagon two miles from this city today and all seriously injured, George M. Cohan, his 13-year- old daughter, Georgia Conan, Wallace Eddinger, leading man for MT. Co., hans new play, Francis Xavier Hope MT. Cohan's confidential secretary, and William Van Buren. Eddingers chauf- feur, were rushed to the Hartford hos pital where at a late hour tonight it was said that MT. Conan and the other men would recover but that the re- covery of his daughter fs doubtful.
 Car Turned Turtle.
 The party was coming from New York to Hartford to begin rehearsaIs for the new play which was to be tried out here. They were in Eddingers s machine. Two miles south of Hartford Van Buren, who was driving, turned out to pass wagon. The driver of the wagon turned to the left and the chauffeur was unable to stop the heavy machine He struck the horse and the car was thrown aside by the inn pact, It struck an embankment by the roadside and turned turtle. All five passengers in the big machine were thrown out, but all escaped being over. Passing automobiles were used as ambulances to take the five injured people to the hospital.
 Miss Conan Unconscious.
 There 1t was seen that Miss Conan was the only one critically hurt, al- though the-injuries of the four men were serious. It was at first thought that MT. Conan would not recover, but the doctors said tonight that the patient would probably be able to leave his bed within a week or two unless internal injuries which are feared in all five cases develop. His hurts con- sist, of a dislocatiOn and a possible fracture of the left shoulder, serious scalp wound and other cuts. Miss Georgia Conan has a, fracture at the base of the. brain and minor injuries. She has been unconscious from the time of the accident. The surgeons hold out little hope of her recovery.
 Injuries of the Others.
 Wallace Eddinger'g face, arms and legs are cut and he may be internally injured.
 Francis Hope was seriously hurt He sustained fracture of the left elbow and a double fracture of the left wrist and a severely sprained back. His condition is not thought to be critical.
 The chauffeur Van Buren, has abra- sions of the head and a cut over the eye. He was the least seriously in jured of the group.
 Wagon Driver Blamed.
 According to Van Buren and the few witnesses of the accident the col lision was due partly to the speed at which the automobile was travelling, but largely to the carelessness or ig- norance of the driver of the garbage wagon, John Gabriel, who drove his horse directly into the path of the speeding automobile. The horse was badly injured and had to be killed.
 Van Buren said that his gar was travelling about 35 miles an hour when he first saw the wagon. MT. Cohan exonerated the chauffeur from blame for the crash and said he believed the wagon driver to have been to blame.

Fear That the 500 Inhabitants Have
 Perished.

Raleigh, N. C.. Sept. 4.-J.'B. Blades of Newborn, one of the states lead ing lumber mill men, just back from Washington, N. C., declared tonight there is a feeling of certainty that Ocracolze Island, on the coast, was wave swept in yesterdays hurricane and that not one of the nearly 800 poo < pie of the island escaped.

THE CAMINETTI CASE
 TO REACH JURY TODAY
Brother of Defendant Makes Argument
 in His Behalf.

San Francisco, Caif., Sept. 4.-The, fate of F. Drew Camtnetti, charged with white slavery will rest in the hands of a jury by noon tomorrow. He is being tried on the same charges and before the same judge as Maury I. Diggs, but twelve different men are on the jury.
 As the defendants brother put it to the jury today, This whole case has simmered down to a single issue. namely. what was the intent and pur- pose of the trip to Reno? The whole evidence tends to show that the de- fendant left Sacramento because he feared impending arrest and articles about to be printed in the newspapers. No one but a man crazed by fear of arrest would have gone on that crazy trip-none but a lunatic."
 We do not claim that fright is a defense for crime, but when seeking for 8. motive the state of mind must be considered" he added.
 Theodore Roche, arguing for the government, said
 Agitation or fright is not 8 legal defense for crime. The defendant should have been frightened if he was not, He was not, however, too fright ene6 to discriminate against the four separate berths he might have en gagged on the train to Reno instead of the dra wing room he chose, nor too frightened to rent 3 bungalow in Reno for thirty days and live there with the girls"
