VESSEL HITS STORM
PUNISH OESERTERS
WIND REACHES 1870 MILES PER
HOUR ON SEA
Steamer Covers Only Seventy-five
Miles in Twenty -four Hours
During Gale

Correspondence of Associated Press)
San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. ID
The most severe storm that the cap
tain of that vessel ever experienced
struck an American vessel about 800
miles out of New York on the last
trip to the West Indies. Although
little damage was done, everybody
was pretty badly shaken up. Because
the captain received no warning from
the weather bureau he thinks that
the storm must have originated
about where it struck his vessel.
The gale hit the steamer about 4
p. m. Thursday and before 8 that
night it had reached a velocity of
about 13O miles an hour. The cap
tain was partially prepared for what
was coming by the astounding fall in
the barometer which went as low as
2S.7 but, in spite of every effort
made by the crew to make things
tight, the sea got into some of the
staterooms and everything was
drenched. Some of the portfolios in
the bow were stove in and all the
awnings were carried away. The
wireless aerial was swept away early
in the storm and teh stays of the
masts were broken so that it was
feared that these would be taken
away too.
The vessel was forced to head
right into the teeth of the gale and
such was the force of the wind that
the steamer only covered IS miles in
twenty-four hours during the gale.
The storm abated about 7 a. m. and
the steamer entered San Juan harbor
in safety
Though there was no one injured.
the passengers were so grateful to
the captain that they prepared testi
monlals expressing "deep apprecia-
ton and gratitude for his able sea-
manship and management of the ship
during the dangerous tempest"

OLD MAN TRIED TO ENLIST.
Wanted to Help Out" In Any Way,
but Was Refused.

Topeka, Kan.-The fact that the Unit.
ed States government does not admit a
man over thirty-fye years of age to en-
list in the army prevented the officers
in charge of the local recruiting station
from passing on S. L. Palmer, pros
porous Pawnee county farmer, the 9th
err afternoon.
Mr.. Palmer is siXty-two years of age,
but appears to be man of about forty.
He appeared very much grieved when
he was told he was too old for the serv-
ice.
Neither money nor the desire for ex-
perience had anything to do with Mr.,
Palmer's applying for service in the
ranks. He owns 700 acres of good
Pawnee county land.
His only reason was his desire TO
help out" he told the officers. He
wanted to be admitted as a telegra-
pher, a craftsman or a mechanic. He
said he had fifteen years experience
as a telegrapher.
