STORM CRIPPLES
 GULF SHIPPING

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 18.-Southeast- ern Florida has been drepched under heavy rains during the last 12 hours, according to reports received here to- night. At Key West five inches of rain fell, the weather bureau reported.
 Shipping interests have been the greatest sufferers, the tropical disturb ance of the gulf stream having crippled several of the ships, according to dis patches from Key West. The Norwe- gian tanker Mirlo, bound from Tuxpam, Mexico, with cargo of crude oil, limp ed into Key West port last night after hard fight with giant waves Thurs day morning off the coast of Cuba. A two-masted schooner 'tonight was re- ported ashore off Grassy Key and in need of assistance.
 The Key West naval radio station is broadcasting sos for the Norwegian motor vessel Folkbard which sailed last Saturday evening from Pensacola, for Savannah. The ship is long over due and all efforts to locate her have failed.
 The tank steamship W. F. Burdell of 4,351 net tonnage went aground on Florida Keys between Alligator Reef and Tennessee Reef at 6 o'clock this afternoon, according to information re- ceived here. The coast guard tug Saukee has gone to its assistance.

treasures. And if "Pay" has failed to do so the fleet tells him about it.
 Rear Admiral Potter is one of the extraordinary characters of the navy, He will not thank me for saying so, for he does not believe in personal publicity. But he is, for all that. A Princeton grad of 1896, admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1897, he be- came assistant paymaster in the navy in 1898 after a severe competitive examination. Some men would have risen in grade through the operation of time and squeeze. Potter seems to have risen not only because of his remarkable personal qualities, but because he had adequate appreciation of the importance-even of the TO- mance-of the old pay corps. He is a man who sees widely and far.
 Like Old Yankee Skipper
 The old pay corps was tren just pulling out of slump, if I read his tory correctly. It was the legitimate son of the old Yankee shippers, who fought, fished, whaled, traded and privateered all from the same deck. Those salty old gentlemen did the buying for their vessels and the sell ing from them. That is precisely the Pay corps job. It pays out $75, 5,000,- GOO each year for supplies and $121,- GOO, 900 for pay and allowances and has on its books more than three bill lion dollars worth of property. It sold-by open, sun-lit, copiously pub lie bidding, for it never touches a private bargain-war-goods that had cost us $306,000,0O0 and got $133,- 100000 for them, which is a high re- covery.
 But in the early nineties the Amer ican navy was not as Nine an instru- ment as it ais now. w. 0. Whitney as secretary of the treasury discovered in 1888 that all the money spent by the navy for supplies had gone into the hands of six men. They may have been honest but the system was silly. He put the pay corps in charge of all the business of the navy and it has been handling that business ever since The pay corps is not directly interested in the big or little navy argument. All it has to do is to provision and clothe and fuel and bank the ships of what ever navy there may be wherever they are. And it does.
 Reforming Business Methods | Potter was one of the prime forces | III LHe LFeHeuuOuS WOrk LII EclOTHlHe the navy's business methods. His monograph on the system of disburs' ing money helped standardize the new practice. Now that he is pay master general he has a little class oi five officers studying world exchange The navy does not get the worst oi the exchange situation, no matter where it's ship may. be-and the gobs alway' have the sum of money they want 1T the sort of money they want wher they get shore leave.
 He was one of a group of officer: who radically changed and improved the entire accounting system of tht navy. Some of his monographs or this subject have been translated in to Japanese and French. Not loni ago the British Admiralty officially announced in parliament that it is re forming its system of costs accountancy upon the American plan. That pla1 was very largely Potter's.

COTTON ACREAGE M EN I
 TO BE REPORTED
Wallace Authorizes Issu- ance Of Estimate With
 Oct. 25 Forecast
lBy Associated Press. )

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Secretary Wallace has authorized the crop report ing board to release cotton abandon ment figures collected by the board this year for publication October 70, as a supplement to the regular crop report issued on that date. The figures will show abandonment between June 25 and August 16, and between June 25 and September 16.
 It was announced also today that ln the October 25 forecast consideration will be given not only to the pars but also to the estimates of probable yield per acre, which are being secured from its correspondents, the quantity of cot ton to October IS, and all other known factors.
 The decision is to release the aban- donment figures is in response to a widespread demand for such a report. The board points out, however, that it has already taken into consideration the question of abandonment in making its forecasts during the season and will continue to do so in its remaining reports. Abandonment, therefore, is all ready discounted in the forecasts.
 The abandonment figures will be published without interpretation by the crop board inasmuch as there is no comparable date as of the same dates for previous years. The ten year average abandonment as reported by correspon' dents on December first in previous years will also be given. The board points out that in making comparison between the figures for this year. and previous years, the figures for this year relate to abandonment between June 9 and August 16, and between June 9 and September 16, whereas the figures of the reported average abandonment for previous years cover the preiod between June 25 and Decem- her L

 To support the conclusion that three separate funds are being raised, Walsh presented letters written by George W. Simmons, vice president of the Me chanics and Metals National Bank, of New York City. appealing to other bankers, irrespectively of party, to con tribute to fund to help the republican national |. ticket. He also introduced into evidence letter of similar import sent to its members by the Manufac- turers club of Philadelphia.
 Senator La Toilette has been ad- vised," Walsh said in this connection, "that at meeting of the national bank CTS convention in Chicago a few days ago a speech was made requesting that all trust companies be requested to give o1e-twentieth of one per cent of their capital as contributions to fight La Toilette in the west. Edward T. Stotes- bury was made chairman of the com mittee to collect the money"
 Produces Grundy Letters
 Besides these letters, Walsh produced a series of four written by Grundy, chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the republican national com rnittee. Two of the letters which con tained the most urgent appeals, were written on October 8 and October 10. The other letters, those by Simmons and the Philadelphia Manufacturers club, were dated at about the same time.
 Walsh told the committee the dates of the letters were significant"
 "They are getting money at this time," he added, land that is why Sem ator La Toilette says this is more like ly to be ten million dollars or twelve millionI dollars, because we think we arc going to show that the people arc responding to these letters all over the country"

Kaaterskill came to be-" he said.

Kaaterskill came to be-" he said.
 Previous to 1879 he had been in the habit of going to the Catskills with an invalid daughter. At these times he stopped at what was then the leading hostelry, near Kaaterskill mountain.
 "One day he asked that broiled chicken be served his daughter each day while she was at the resort. This the waiter refused, and so my grand father called the proprietor. He too refused the request. Chicken only on Sunday was the edict. My grand father, accustomed to having his own way, became angry.
 "INl come back here next summer and build a hotel on that mountain he pointed to the Kaaterskill-'that will forever put your outfit in the shade he thundered. And the next summer, 1879, he did. guess he spent his huge fortune, made as a patent lawyer, in building that hotel. He also bought thousands of acres of land surrounding it.
 ''It become famous resort, the sum mering place for thousands from both here and New York. One of the presi. dents spent his vacation there. And I guess chicken was a regular part Oi the menu."-Philadelphia Bulletin. :
