and EAST COAST.
Property Loss Through
Florida Will Reach Total
of Millions.
STORM GOES NORTH
Alabama Expected to Get
Last Part of Great Storm
Early Today.

With an unofficial estimate of from
200 to ESQ dead and over $10,00O000 of
property damage attributed to it's fury
the West Indian hurricane, which, after
lashing the east coast of Florida for
two days before it passed into Georgia,
tonight had spent its strength and was
moving slowly westward, carrying but
a capful of wind and a misty rain.
Weather bureau officials expected
the storm to pass into Alabama during
the night where it would spend the
last remnant of its strength in rains.
More than $50 persons were believed
drowned and $8,00O,0OO damage caused
when more than IS boats belonging to
the sponge fleet were sunk off the Ba-
hama islands.
Fifty-four washed ashore at Samoa
afte1 the sinking of the schooners
Faueyme Peaceful and Marcoris, off
Samoa island, Santo Domingo, eight
persons killed at Nassau and five 9th
ers dead in Georgia and Florida, was
the storm toll in lives.
From four to five millions at Nassau.
100000 at Miami, two and a half mil
lion dollars damage in the Palm Beach
area, $50, 900 to water front property at
Stuart, Fla, and other thousands of
dollars in tn eIndian river section was
it's assessment of property.
Two of the deaths attributed ito the
storm in Georgia and Florida were re-
ported today. A boatman was crushed
between his houseboat and a sea wall
along the shore of Lake Worth, near
Palm Beach, and railroad president
in south Georgia was killed when his
locomotive went into ditch from rails
undermined by rains and high water.
The storm passed through southern
Georgia today, passing Macon, dimin-
ishing in intensity and accompanied by
rain.
Charleston, Savannah and Brunswick,
the former but lightly touched by the
hurricane, were resuming normal ac-
tivities and throughout the eastern
peniinsular section linemen were busy
in repairing the damage wrought to
Florida lines of communication.

Y. NJ. C. A. DRIVE
NOW REACHES A
SUN OF $1,000

At meeting of the Y. M. c. A. fund
campaigners held in the association
building Thursday night a check uD
indicated that approximately $1,000 had
now been obtained or promised and
that districts which have not yet been
covered might yield an additional
$1OG.
This figure is $500 short of the goal
which has been set. Ways and means
to secure the additional amount were
freely discussed and a committee con-
sisting of Albert w. Stacy, Edward j.
Huxtable and H. W. Williams was ap-
pointed to cross check the lists of
those who have already been solicited.
With this list complete it is expected
there will be enough prospects who
have not been seen from whom the
5000 may be secured. A committee Of
ten men will then be given the names
of these prospects and each member
of the committee requested to do his
best to secure at least $40.
Campaigners are emphatic in stat
ing that if the people are seen the
money will be forthcoming, and it is
the determination of the general COM
mittee to keep at the soliciting until
the goal is reached. There will be no
let-up until $500 is secured.
A wire to Douglas resident, tenn
porarily out of town, yesterday re-
suited in a $25 subscription. 1t is
thought that other wires will bring
more results. No one is being over
looked and there are several people
away on vacations who will be seen
upon their return.
The moral support of the people is
behind the "Y", according to those
who have done the canvassing, anu
they predict an active fall and winter
program with material membership
increase.

CHICAGO July 29.-Testimony in
dicating efforts at vote buying in
the Illinois senatorial primary, and
the refusal of Thomas w. Cunning
ham, of Philadelphia, to disclose the
source of $4,000 which he contri-
buted in the Pennsylvania republican
contest furnished the high lights of
todays session of the senate cam
paign funds committee. Timothy p.
Mccarthy, an east st. Louis news
paper man, told the investigators
that Charles Scendry of East ST.
Louis, had agreed, for $4,000 to have
that organization support Frank L.
Smith over Senator B. Mckinley.
Mccarthy could not say whether
Smith supporters actually had paid
the money, but he asserted that on
licly announced the league would
support Smith he exhibited to. the
witness $4,000 in cash, saying, 1--WE
have declared for Smith, Irwin and
Duvall.'
Cunningham's refusal to give the
committee any information as to
where he got the $4,000 he contri-
buted to the campaign fund of Will
liam S. Ware, who won the Penn
sylvania republican senatorial nomi-
nation, resulted in warning by
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
the chairman, that it would be the
duty Of the committee to report him
to the senate for contempt.

tion that his personal finances were

FACES
UNUSUAL CASE.
IN TAX PARLEY

At hearing before members of the
state tax commission at Tombstone
Thursday to determine the legality of
Cochise county emergency levy of
$4,000 for payin ginsurance premiums
on county employees under the terms of
the workmen's compensation act, it
was ruled that the item was just de-
mand, but not in the nature of an
emergency.
The question involved, that of paying
the insurance tax by special levy or
from the county tax rolls, is one that
concerns every county in the state and
the decision of the tax commission has
been eagerly awaited.
According to the state budget law,
no demand can be paid which had not
been previously budgeted for that par
ticular fiscal year. The workmen's
compensation act became law after
the budget for the fiscal year, 1926
1926, had already been prepared and so
the payment of insurance premiums for
that period has been held to be vio-
lation of the budget law

Uneariness, uncertainty and apprt--
hension are manifest everywhere, aad
Mexico City is filled with all sorts
of rumors and reports.
Instructions have been given TO
the police by order of Attorney Gen
eral Ortega to disarm all Catholics.
This, the attorney general announcea
is a consequence of reports that
secret meetings are being held IN
Mexico City by certain groups which,
the authorities fear, are for the pur-
pose of fomenting, forceful opposj-
tion to the religious laws. The au-
thorities in some places already have
taken a hand in the case of news
paper editors publishing articles ana
editorials which the officials con-

editor have been Consigned" on this
charge which is equivalent to pre-
ferring complaint and may or may
not involve actual Imprisonment. The
religious regulations forbid religious
publications or those of marked re-
ligious character commenting on, or
carrying any news items, concern
ing the governments activities.
Although printing much local news
on the religious situation, as well as
dispatches showing foreign reaction,
the Mexico City newspapers are
maintaining absolute editorial sill
ence.
They feature special dispatches
from New York declaring that the
United States government will not
take any hand in the affair and that
the pope will not interdict Mexican
Catholic churches.
Some foreign diplomats, including
the French and Spanish, are giving
serious consideration to a movement
seeking to have the diplomatic corps
offer it's services as friendly media
tors in the religious struggle. James
r. Sheffield, the American ambassa-
dor, who is the dean of the corps,
has not taken any official action in
this respect, nor has the plan been
presented to him officially.
Again today waves of humanity of
amazing magnitude surged around the

These shipments are in addition to

the movement of gold to the United

SOMMERVILLE, N. j.,
July 29.-Mrs. r d W a r d
Wheeler Hall, wealthy and
socially prominent resident
of New Brunswick, was in
jail today, faced with "a
mass of new evidence"
pointing to her as the muir
derer Of her husband and
his alleged sweetheart four
years ago.
Prosecutor Bergen Of
Somerset county said he
would take this evidence
before the grand jury and
ask for murder indictments
against Mrs. Hall. The
April grand jury is still
technically in session and
may be recalled for active
duty at any time.
The Rev. Edward wheeler Hall was

murdered woman was Mrs. Eleanor r.
Mills choir singer in his church.
The arrest of Mrs. Hall was made by
state police and officers from Jersey

Quoted under his personal direction.
1t was recalled that since the bodies
of the minister and the choir singer
were found under crabapple tree
with bullet wounds in the head, the
state has borne much Of the burden of

When the case first began to lag,
Governor Edwards expressed himself
dissatisfied with the progress being
made and sent his own prosecutors to
take over the Investigation. Nothing

after hearing more than so witnesses,
