'ShipWreck' Kelly Will Go
AIoft Tuesday Morning,
Stay Till Saturday.

"Shipwreck" Kelly, nationally
famed flagpole stander, will thrill
Indianapolis next week with an ex-
hibition of endurance surprising
any stunt in the city's history, COM
ing here under auspices of The
Times.
Standing on ten-inch disk on a
flagpole high above the streets
Kelly will remain aloft for 104 hours
10 minutes and Is seconds, then
descend and box two rounds with
an Indianapolis pugilist, to prove
that he still is in toptop physical
condition.
Kelly will perform his endurance
feat atop the New Denison Hotel
at the southeast corner of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio SITS, f1agpole, under
auspices of The Times, through ar
rangement by his manager, Howard
Fogg, today with the Denison man
ager, w. B. Smith. He will ascend
at 9 a. m. Tuesday and remain on
his dizzy perch without sleep until
Saturday afternoon.
Stunt Is Hazardous
The stunt, according to experts, is
one of the most novel and most haz-
ardous ever attempted and puts in
the shade such feats as endurance
automobile drives and all so-called
perch acts.
The f1agpole stunt marks a new
high point in an adventurous career
Born in the Bronx thirty-five year;
ago, Kelly started looking up at ar
early age and was human fly
when yet in school.
He has doubled for movie stars II

calling for the skill and nerve Of
professional sumter for twenty-ont
of them. He also made parachute
jumps and figured in many othel
daring exploits until the World Wa
began in 1914.
Served in Four NavieS
During the conflict Kelly served
in four navies, the French, English
Russian and American, his remark

Kelly never has been "suicid

Kelly's advance agent, Joseph I
Emmerling, is making arrangement
for the boxing bout to conclude hi

atop the New Denison Hotel will no
deplete his energy.

FLOOD PERILS
STORM-SWEPT
Florida AREA
New Danger in Hurricane
Wake; Several Towns
Are MenaCed.
LOSS is THREE MILLIONS
State Starts Repair of
Heavy Damage Caused
by Violent Gale.

BIZ United Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. TO-
The hurricane-swept cities and vii
lagos Of central Florida's fruit belt
were threatened with new danger,
that of flood, today.
Throughout the entire area swept
Wednesday and Thursday by a
tropical hurricane, rivers and lakes
were reported out of banks.
Reports from Okeechobee City,
eighteen miles north of Lake
Okeechobee, said that the streets
were filled with flood waters which
threatened serious damage.
Taylor's Creek, in the same
region, was reported to have swollen
from its normal width of fifteen
feet to a width in some places of
one mile.
Town Under Water
The town of st. Cloud on Lake
Tohopekaliga in Osceola County
was in part under water Lake
KiSsimmee was swollen.
Roads from Fl. Pierce on the east
coast into the interior were impas-
sable in some places.
With damage estimated at more
than 100000, the State marshalled
all its resources today to repair the
damage from its second severe hur-
ricane in two years.
An unconf1rmed report that four
persons had been killed west of
Jupiter by the storm was the only
report Of loss of life.
The hurricane has passed out into
the Gulf of Mexico and little appre-
hension is felt that another storm
moving through the West Indies
would touch the Florida coast.
Stor min Caribbean
The new storm was in the Carib-
bean Sea, but advices from Havana
said the disturbance had not
reached a dangerous stage and was
expected to pass south of Jamaica
toward Yucatan, we'll away from
Florida.
The hurricane which devasted
parts of Florida came from the sea
on Tuesday and made path fifty
to one hundred miles wide across
the State. 1t did tremendous GAM
age to crops, particularly citrus
fruits on some east coast and in
central Florida, blew down trees,
unroofed some houses, damaged
farm building worked havoc with
wire communications, blocked roads
and damaged railroads.
The damage apparently was the
greatest on the east coast, where the
loss was estimated at perhaps ST.
100000. From Jupiter Light to
Melbourne, a seventy FIVE mile
stretch, a great number of buildings
were unroofed. Citrus crops were
beaten to the ground. Communica-
tons we're disrupted.
Fruit Area Hard Hit
In the fruit growing region of
central Florida, mainly Osceola,
Orange and Polk counties, the loss
was estimated at approximately
$1,500,0O0. Some damage was done
to buildings
The damage was not so great on
the west coast. Wires were torn
down and some communities were
isolated. Tampa and st. Petersburg
were effected only slightly.
Rehabilitation work started at
once. Highways were being cleared
and communications restored, es-
pecially on the east coast.

Public School rs, Fourteenth st.
and Belle View Pl.
Billy was relieved from his Job
Of watch Dick for just few
minutes Thursday night. and in
that brief space the child fatally
was injured.
nTHER children were playing
~ across Mount st. from the
Buchanan home, pulling box
street cars, lighted by candles, up
and down the Sidewalk. Billy
wanted to joint them. He would
not take Dick across the street.
That might teach the tot the
habit of going on the pavement.
So, mindful of the rule his
mother has rigidly enforced Billy
asked permission before crossing
the street. 1t was granted.
The Buchanan family was
grouped about the front of the
house with visitors when little
Dick, apparently wanted to join
his brother, slipped between two
parked cars into the street, direct
ly into the path of the slowly
moving car of Ralph Tale, 10, of
Cincinnati, Ohio. Hale's view was
obscured by a double-parked car,
the parents said.
He damned on his brakes, but
the tot was struck and his skull
fractured. The parents said he
was not driving fast and did
everything possible to avoid the
accident.
n
DILLY was among the first to
ID reach the inert little form in
the street. His mother had
screamed as she witnessed every
detail of the tragedy.
The parents rushed the child to
city hospital. where he died early
today. They postponed telling
Billy until today.
Hale was held on a technical
manslaughter charge.
