SEVERE IN HAVANA

HAVANA, Oct. 18.-(R - A
tropical hurricane, flashing west
ern Cuba with winds exceeding
ITO miles perhour, killed at least
six persons and injured more than
100 in the Havana area today be-
fore crossing into the Florida
Straits and eastern Gulf of Mexi-
CO. Disrupted communications de-
layed damage reports from else
where.
F The Cuban capital was batter
ed for more than five hours by
the storm. Store fronts were
smashed, and insecure buildings
crushed, while automobiles on
the streets were hit by falling trees
and flying debris. The Presiden-
tial palace, the American en-
bassy and other principal build
ings were flooded when debris
smashed windows and high winds
prevented immediate repairs.
Virtually all Havana was with
out power tonight. The National
observatory was out of contact
with downtown Havana, which in
turn was isolated from all other
areas of western Cuba over which
the storm passed.
First estimates of property dam
age totalled several hundred thou
sand dollars in Havana alone.
Government officials expressed APP
prehension that other communities
in western Cuba would be found
to have suffered even heavier cas-
ua1ties and damage, and said it
would be days before the full
storm toll would be known.
Five bodies, including two chill
dren, were pulled from the water
near Alcoy bridge, leading from
Havana to suburban Guanabacoa.
/ Approximately 5000 persons took
refuge in the huge national CAPT
toll, wheres they slept and rested
on the marble stairs and in the
stately Railways. The building es-
capped damage, but the hurricane
uprooted ornamental trees sur
rounding it and destroyed symmet-
rical paintings along the famous
Prado.

SENATORS LAST

in ATTENDANCE
April Forecasts Back,
washes As Washing
ton Lands In Cellar
BY JACK HAND

NEW YORK. Oct. 10 -RE The
goose that was supposed to lay
the golden egg in Washington just
laid an egg, grade x and slightly
spoiled.
April previews forecast a pen
nant contender at Griffith stadium
with crowds Of the faithful bullying
the fences to set new attendance
marks on steady diet of night
baseball.
/ Cold October statistics find the
Senators in last palce for the first
time in the Clark Griffith regime
and the only club in the American
league failing to improve on last
years drawing power.
Opponents of "Owl'' ball drew
some consolation from the turn
stiIe figures although the As after
dark games from May 10 to Sept.
II drew approximately $4,000 Of
the SOS, 1000 official aid attendance.
The overall count for So home
playing dates including Sundays,
holidays, five weekday games
and the night trays averaged
1887. Turnouts for the night tilts
leveled off just under the 5000
mark.
Average night crowds probably
were much higher than the day
time draw would have been for a
last place club under similar con
ditions although they dwindled
from a blazing 10000 start to ar
estimated 1000 in August.
Pitching was supposed to have
been the Senators strong point il
April with a staff of. Dutch Leo
nard, Johnny Niggeling. Earl,
Wynn, Roger Wolff, Milo Candin
and Mickey Haefner. Wolff won onl!
one game after midway, Wynn
couldn't win and went into the ser
vice in August and the bulk of the
work fell on Niggeling, who coule
work only once a week, and Leo
nard and Haefner.
The club led the league in stolel
bases and topped the pennant-win
ming Browns in hitting, finishing
fifth with .261 but the defense wa
so sloppy that the team had tn,
most errors in either circuit, 217
and also the poorest fielding aver
age, 1865.
Wasbington's only fame in 1874
came on the last day Of the season
in backhanded fashion when they
beat Detroit to assure St. Louis O.
its first pennant. =

Marsh told her the details of what
had taken place. Quoting verbatim
from the testimony at the inquest,
Mrs. Reeves gave the following ac-
count Of the Jail conversation: ION
that day he said, Mrs. Reeves, I
want to talk to you some. I said,
Well, have been wanting to talk
with you. He hushed for moment
and cried a while. He sat down
and folded his arms. He then said,
! don't know whether Rosa is go'
ing to marry that man or not. I
said, What mann He then asked,
Haven't you heard anything?' I
said, NO., I haven't heard any
thing?'. - Here Mrs. Reeves
related an incident which Marsh
said took place in their feed store
on Friday afternoon when he
caught his wife holding hands
across the counter with the man
in question. Continuing her testi-
mony, Mrs. Reeves said that
Marsh told her, that the row. on
Saturday started about a load OF
tankage which he had bought and
then cancelled the order, and
which Mrs. Marsh had rebought
and paid for. A short while after
ward. Mrs. Reeves said t h a
Marsh told her that his wife said
to him, Howard, I'm leaving you
I have. taken all off you I intend
to-. Marsh told her that his wife
then went home, according to Mrs.
Reeves, and remained until dinner
when she came back to the store
leaving hime there with the child
rem.
Quoting again directly from Mrs
Reeves testimony, she said Marsh
told her: He said he was goine
to sleep but didn't go to sleep be-
cause the baby (meaning Thomas
was sick and crying. and he triec
to pacify him but couldn't. He hac
a tenant there, William Gore. He
said he took the baby out to walk
and tried to pacify him but he. still
cried. Well, he said he was wor
ried and mad. He said I went tt
the phone and l called her and
told her to come home now" He
said she came home and that ne
met her at the door. He said that
he said to- her, Rose, you have
three little children and I want you
to get in here and tend to these
children. Tommie is sick and ii
that baby dies on account Of you
flirting around that little store: I'll
make up with you. So he said he
started off to come to the station
and took Catharif1e Gore and Will
liam Gore down to the station. As
he passed by the phone he said
he tore it down and said, I'll see
that you don't call anyone while
I'm gone. He said he went down
to the station to close the doors
for the last time and he did. He
said Frank Margin came up and
wanted a bag of feed and he said
he cussed- him out and didn't go
back to get it. Said then he went
back home and got out and went
into the house. He said, I slapped
Rosa, then T. beat her just like 1
wanted to, then I told her to 60
to bed, that she would need ali
the rest she could get Then she
lay down and then he lay down
