HURRICANE is
CURVING into
GULF OF MEXICO
WEATHER BUREAU ADVCEs
WERE THAT IT APPEARED
NEAR THE SOUTH COAST OF
CUBA AND WOULD COME INTO
GULF.

The hurricane, which the weather
bureau located nearly a week ago,
was to curve into the gulf during
last night, instead of passing out to
sea or going up the Atlantic coast.
AS a result some decidedly rough
weather is anticipated for the gulf,
but what part of the gulf territory
it will strike is problematical, as hur-
ricanes have a habit of curving at
the least provocation.
About the only thing definite dur
ing the night was that the hurricane
would strike the gulf and that it was
moving northwest from the south
coast of western Cuba. The last ad-
visory message received from the
Washington Office last night on the
course of the storm was as follows:
Hurricane warnings continued
from Key West to Boca Grande 5 p
m. Storm center apparently near the
southeast of western Cuba moving
northwest; it will pass into the gull
tonight. Havana's barometer 2 p. m
1858, wind 38 miles from the east.
warnings Of precaution are re
peated to ogulf coast stations"

WALL. A.
CANDIDATE FOR
SENATOR. HERE
COMES OVER FROM TAMPA AND
WILL SPEND A FEW DAYS CO.
ING THROUGH WEST FLORIDA
COUNTIES.

Perry G. Wall, of Tampa, put forth
by his supporters as Ga business man
seeking the position of United States
SENATOR" arrived in Pensacola yes
terday. He will remain in this city
for day or two and then go through
a number of the counties of West
Florida in the interest of his candi-
dacy. Although he has been promi-
nent in matters of public interest as
they related to his home county Mr..
Wall is having his first experience as
a candidate for position in which
the whole state will be called upon
to vote.
Mr.. Wall is a personal friend of
Judge Chas. B. Parkhill who still
looks upon Pensacola as his home, de-
spite the fact that he is a resident of
Tampa
Speaking of his political career last
night Mr.. Wall recalled the fact that
he has always supported Escambia
candidates for high offices, including
the late Stephen R. Mallory for con-
gress back in 1890. He was also a
supporter of Chipley and of Blount
for the United States senate.
II am not going to have anything
to say of a derogatory character
against any of my three opponents, -
said Mr.. Wall last night. 81 am max
ing campaign on the assumption
that the people of the state want and
need business man in the United
States senate. I am not politician,
do not want to be and am not the
candidate of any political faction. ]
am nothing but business man, and
if do say it myself, I can prove to
the people that have been a pretty
successful one.
ri believe, that a business mana
square business man-can accomplish
more for the people of his state than
lawyer or politician, and / think
that / can measure up to their stan
dard if they want to send a business
man to Washington"
Mr.. Wall called on quite a number
of citizens during the day and met
with very cordial reception.

ported by the servant girl, was not
feeling very well and he went to his
room and laid down on the bed.
He was not disturbed, the report
states, until about five o'clock when
he was found dead on the bed.
Robert More and his wife, who was
sister to Mr.. Dare and L. A. Wentzell

Entries Embrace Big Cracks for
Championship of South

One of the stellar attractions for the
B. A. A. sports at Tumbling Dam Park
on the afternoon of Labor Day will
be the trap shooting event for the
championship of South Jersey This
event will be shot at fifty targets
thrown from three expert traps placed
directly in front of the grandstand in
the base ball field, thus making it pos
sible for every spectator attending
the sports to have clear view of
/ what promises to be one of the most
interesting and hardest fought events
of the afternoon. The squad will con-
sist of five shooters from different
parts of South Jersey, and it is doubt
sful if there is stronger squad repre-
sented in the East
The entries are Fred Tomlin, of
Glassboro, George McCarty, of Wood
bury, Bert Aumack of Vineland, and
Clarence Platts representing the B.
A. A. A fifth man will be added later,
probably one of the cracks from At
1antic City, or possibly Charles New
comb, formerly of Newport, ~ ]. Mr.
Tomlin, of Woodbury., is the present
New Jersey Champion, winning the
same at Newark, N. j., short time
ago by single target from our local
entry, Mr.. Platts, after one of the
hardest battles in trapshooting annals
and Mr.. Platts has announced his de-
sire to have another chance at Mr..
Tomlin.
The reputation of Geo. McCarty is
too well known to occasion much in
formation as to his ability, for his

1t is more or less difficult for the pub
Ec to keep up with the managership of
the jitneys that operate between
Bridgeton and Millville. The very un-
certain business causes those who en-
bark in the enterprise to drop out, and
in day or two another jitney replaces
the discarded machine. Some days
there are five or six machines operating
and the next not half that many.
But one of the original jitneys is at
present operating.

composed of the cream of trapshoot-
ers from all parts of the country.
Mr.. Aumack is we'll known in this
vicinity and is shooting at very fast
rate, only recently smashing So tar
gets straight at the shoot of the Cum
berland Gun Club of this city. Be-
fore Mr.. Aumack has finished his
string of fifty targets the other con-
testants will realize they have to "go
some" to win.
Mr.. Platts, our local representative,
was runner up to Mr.. Tomlin in the
State Championship held at Newark
some time ago, and smashed 80 tar
gets straight, finishing with SO out of
a possible 100 in the shoot of the Cum
berland Gun Club held recently in this
city. The general opinion among To-
cal sportsmen is the man winning from
Platts will be the high man only.
AS before mentioned this event will
be staged directly in front of the
grandstand in the base ball field and
alone is worth the price of admission,
for it will develop into most exciting
race from the start.
The shoot will be managed by
Messrs. Sooy and Shull from the Cum
berland Gun Club, also members of
the B. A. A., and Mr.. Potter of the

A Pioneer reporter was early on the
scenes and the story of the awful ira
gedy was secured from one of the Joy
riders and those who witnessed the
crash. as X.
Last night about 10 o'clock, Joseph
Kelly, James Lounsberry, James Beat
ty, and Furman Lloyd hired Ford
jitney owned by Frank Griscomb, and
with Charles Counsellor as driver,
started off to Pennsyille. There the
young men drank some with the ex-
ception of Counsellor, the chauffeur.
Leaving Pennsville the party came
to Bridgeton and at o'clock this
morning were in Townsend's restaur-
ant, where they had something to eat.
1t was just before o'clock when the
party started home.
The car was driven at high rate of
speed, fully the capacity of the Ford
machine. At Shiloh the car dashed
through the village and was moving
at a great rate around Davis corner
when a rear tire blew out which
caused the car to skid and the machine
grazed telephone pole and dashed
head-on full against big tree upon
the side of the roadway. The car was
smashed into hopeless mass. All
five of the young men were hurled
forward and pitched out with terrific
force.
Young Kelly struck the tree head
first, smashing his skull, his brains
being dashed out against the tree and
scattered about its base. Hair from
the head of Kelly was caught and held
in the bark of the tree.
All of the other four were rendered
unconscious.
Curtis Souders who lives just oppo-
site the scene of the accident, wit
messed the tragedy. He had just aris-
en- and as he was dressing the clock
struck four. The noise of the tire
blowing out sounded like the explosion
of a gun. Souders saw teh crash and
hurried down into the road. All five
men were lying scattered over the
roadway. DR.. H. H. Fritts and S. V.
Davis hurried from their homes, the
physician simply throwing a bath robe
over his night dress.
DIR. Fritts first gave his attention
to Kelly, but he had been killed in
stantly.
The other men were looked after.
Furman Lloyd was soon able to
walk about. Beatty was also soon
walking about.
Counsellor and Lounsberry were
carried into the office of DR.. Fritts.
Both were fiighty and are apparently
seriously hurt.
The two men were kept in the office
until their families came from Salem.

came over to Shiloh and took charge
