GULF STORM. PASSES OVER AUTHORITARIAN
Damage Trivial In Compari-
 son With That Wrought By
 Previous Blasts From The
 Tropics, Reports Indicate PREDICTED HURRICANE FAILS TO MATERIALIZE
Swapping Of RoWboats And
 Small Launches About OnIyI Loss Suffered Through Gale Which Loses Force

NEW ORLEANS oct. 16.-The Gulf storm, first heralded yesterday by the weather bureau was spending itself somewhere north of here tonight, pouring rain over a wide area, and leaving in it's trail on the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts damage trivial in comparison with that wrought by previous blasts from the tropics.
 The weather bureau last night, while the storm still was in the Gulf, received information indicating it was of hurricane proportions and ac- cordingly ordered hurricane warnings displayed on the coast from Texas to Florida.
 The gale apparently lost some of it's intensity as it reached the land for the highest wind velocity reported land station was 50 miles an hour. It was rough night at sea, however, a vessel some distance south of the mid- dle Louisiana coast having reported that it was weathering a 74-mile wind.
 Apparently Went Inland.
 The storm apparently went inland early today somewhere east of New Orleans for Gulfport Miss, and Pensacola, Fla, both reported a CO., mile gale while the wind here at it's height was only 36 miles an hour.
 
 lower.
 Experience wit. previous hurri- canes was remembered by residents along the coast and when the weather bureau b agan broadcasting it's warm ings by radio, telephone and tele- graph there was a lush to make everything snug. Special trains on the Louisville and Nashville railroad brought construction crews and resi- dents along the line through the marshes between New Orleans and the Mississippi coast to this city, small craft sought cover and the larger vessels were made ready to weather the blow.
 The damage was confined largely to the swamping of rowboats and smal launches and the wrecking of lightly-built piers, along the Missis- sippi coast, especially at Gulfport and Biloxi. The Mississippi and Gulf Coast Traction company, operating along the shore beeween Gulfport and Pass Christian estimeted the damage to it's lines at $35,OOO.
 Communication Maintained.
 Telegr- .ph and telephone wires were down at various points, put communi- cation was maintained by re-routing messages and telephone calls.
 Train schedules on the Louisville and Nashville railroad were ham pered for a time by several small wash-outs, but the damage was re- paired early in the forenoon and traf- fife resumed.
 The railroads bridges across the Rigoletes and Shef Menteur, the two outlets of Lake Poncha-trai. were discovered to be slightl- out of line, although not unsaIe for traffic.
 The gale pushed the waters of the Gulf aheld and unusually high tides were reported, G ,fport reporting a rise of seven fest. The water backed up in Ponchartrain and flooded low lands from a few inches to foot in depth, but it was an experience the residents of the affected territory had weathered on several occasions and they were not alarmed.

Two More Joneses Brought Into

John ROddenby, convict guard I'M
der indictment for whipping Paul
Revere White of Washington. d. c.,
in the leased convict camp operated
by State Senator T. J. Knabb in
Baker county, will be among the
first to appear before peonage in
vestigating committee when it re-
sumes its sessions next Tuesday.
Two more Joneses, in addition to
the. two who have been brought
into the investigation thus far, will
also be brought before the commit
tee. They are Sheriff Jones OF
Baker county and Justice of the
Peace Jones of High Springs, Fla.
who tried Paul Revere White on q
vagrancy charge and sentenced him
to six months in prison in default
of a $25 fine.
Sheriff j. r. Jones of Leon
county has been removed from of.
flee for his part in the alleged rail
reading of Martin Tabert to his
death. and other convict abuses,
and DR.. T. Capers Jones, physician
of the Putnam Lumber Company, is
under investigation by the State
Medical Board for alleged misstate-
ments in connection with Tabert's
death.
Other witnesses who will appear
when the probe is turned on
Knabb's camp are j. B. Thomas,
State convict inspector; DR.. Lamb
and J. E. Franklin, postmaster of
Glenn st. Mary.
Expense of the trial of T. w.
Higginbotham, whipping boss indict-
ed for first degree murder in Martin
Tabert's death, will be too heavy
for Dixie county to bear, according
to the plea of Dixie county delega-
ton to the legislature. Help from
the legislature to defray trial ex
penses was requested.
1t is believed the State will ask
change of venue which Circuit
Judge Mallory F. Horne is expected
to grant. Higginbothan case

FOLKS
Starts in Stoneleigh Courts
Sofa and Gives Society
People Scare.

A fashionable gathering witnessed
a fire that started in the rooms OF
Capt. Charles r. Dix, of Stoneleigh
courts. last night and filled other
apartments with smoke. Among
those who left the apartment house
until the place was cleared of smoke
was the wife of Brig. Gen. Henry
T. Allen, retired, who commanded
the troops on the Rhine during the
American occupation.
In a mysterious manner the blaze
originated in a sofa and had made
much Roadway before it was dis
covered. Damage was slight.
Firemen entered the apartment
by means of ladders as they did
not feel it necessary to drag the
hose through the apartment house.
