A BIG STORM
IN 6UNNY FLORIDA
Many Lives Are Reported to Have Been Lost and the De-
struction of Property Throughout the State Will Run
Up Into Many Millions of Dollars.
TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS ATLANTIC COAST.
Jacksonville, Fin. Oct. 18.—What
undoubtedly will prove to be one of
the most destructive of storms last
night and tonight, swept the entire
Floilda nenlnsula, doing damage esti
mated at several million dollars. Forty
thousand square milcB of territory
south of Jacksonville has li en with-
• •iii any means of communication with
the outside world for more than twen
ty-four hours. The last) reports from j
this section embracing all that terri- I
tory south of a line front Tampa t >
St. Augustine told of hurricane winds!
and rapidly falling barometers. The
orange crop in that territory and the'
vast trucking industry probably are
ruined.
Along the eastern coast many lives
are believed to have been lost and
the property damage is believed to be
great.
The maximum wind velocity, seven
ty miles an hour, recorded here at 7
o'clock tonight, v. lion the < < liter of the
disturbance appeared to have passed
up the Atlantic coast toward Savan-
nah. May port, at the mouth of the St.
John's river, experienced a wind of
eighty to ninety miles an hour and
one half of the houses there were
wrecked.
There lias been no communi. ution
with any point south of Jacksonville,
with the exception of St. Augustine,
since late this afternoon, and all wires
north were severed with one excep-
tion shortly before darkness.
A heavy downpour "of rain accompa-
nied the high winds everywhere. At
Bast St. Augustine bouses in the busi-
ness section were flooded tonight at
low tide, with promise of immense
damage to business property when
the high tide came in. The city is in
darkness, a gale was still blowing at
6 p. m., the swelling seas were over
the sea wall and at that hour thous-
ands of dollars' damage had been done.
Not^a word has come from Tampa
Since 4:20 this morning and telegraph
companies do not expect to restore
communication before tomorrow. The
damage will be greatest in the inte-
rior, where the storm « ame up with
but little warning.
KEY WEST STRICKEN.
Key West, Fla., Oct. 18.—via Ha
\ana.—The tropical hurricane which
has been sweeping over the West In-
dies and southern waters for five days,
took Key West in its grip yesterday
and tore away the roofs of houses,
shook a number of buildings from
their foundations, blew vessels from
their moorings and did other damage
the extent of which cannot be estimat-
ed. Hut three lives were reported lost.
Mrs. Alexander Johnson, a ncgrvss,
and her two children being drowned.
ST. AUGUSTINE FLOODED.
St. Augustine, Fla., Oct. 18.—At low
tide the water is breaking over the
sea wall here tonight and high tide
will flood many of the stteets of the
city.

\ most eventful voyage it was, with
nothing to interrupt the smooth
swinging motion of the balloon. An
altitude varying from .'100 to 700 feet
v as maintained, and all along the
,.!it over tin 1;ti l ihe aeronauts
were cheered by thousands of spec
tators at various point3. The balloon
made safe and easy landing at Worm-
wood Scrubs.
The dirigible carried M. Clement of
the Clement-Bayard firm ,in command;
Baudry and Le Prince, steersmen Se-
batier, engineer and designer; two
mec hanii and Arthur Philip Du Croi,
member of the British parliament, rep
resenting the British parliament aer-
ial defense committee. Only these
seven were aboard, although the air |
ship «.m accommodate thirty-nine pas
sengers, in addition to the crew.
The course was by way of Amiens,:
Abbeville and Boulogne and the bal-
loon was steered readily by aid of the |
compass.
Hundreds of Thousands See It.
Occasional wind gusts caused some
slight rocking of the balloon, but oth-
erwise she proved steady. The French
government provided three torpedo
boat destroyers which proved of great
assistance in crossing the channel.
The Clement-Bayard reached Boulogne
at 10:20 and Folkestone at 11:20.
The whirring of the engines and pro-
pellers attracted the attention of the
people at Folkestone and other towns,
and the balloon arrived over London
just as the streets were filled with
the great Sunday crowds leaving the
churches. The appearance of the
monster over the 'house tops caused
the people to wonder, and hundreds of
thousands gathered to watch tlie aero-
nauts. *
The aeronauts now experienced
some trouble with the varying wind
currents. On this account they cir-
cled St. Paul's and the tower bridge
twice, dipped several times and flew
close to the tops of buildings. They
passed over the houses of parliament
and along to Hyde Park, where there
was a wild scramble of spectators.
The dirigible landed safely after de-
scribing large descending circles, aid-
ed by a detachment of soldiers. Mr.
Clement declared he was exceedingly
pleased with the behavior of the ship.

strument he discovered that the heart
had ceased beating entirely.
Upon looking into the senator's face
he discovered that death had over-
taken him. He died without a strug-
gle and without pain.
No one, with the exception of the
physician, was in the room at the time
of his death. Mrs. Dolliver 'had step-
ped out just before the physician be-
gan his examination.
OKLAHOMA FEE LAW
Attorney General West Passes on
Features of Several Provisions.
| Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 15. An inter-
pretation of several provisions of the
new fee and salary bill is given to W.
B. M. Mitchell, judge of the county
court at 1 jiills Valley, in an oirfnion |
by Attorney General West. The opin-
ion holds 1hat Sections 1, 2, 4, 9 and :
13, prescribing fees to be charged '
went into effect ninety days after the
adjournment of the legislature , as the
legislature has the right to change j
lees at any time, providing they-are,
not tho compensation or emoluments
of tho officer charging them and they
are properly accounted for to the
county.
It is also heid that the bill created
the ofliee of clerk of the county court,
whose salary is to be paid monthly,
and that the salaries of all other conn
ty officers are also to be paid month- j
ly. The duty which formerly devolved
upon the county judge of keeping a
record of all fees charged and collect-
ed by his office has been shifted upon
the clerk of the county court.
In another opinion involving an in- !
terpretation of a provision of the nov*;
fee and salary law given to M. W.
Pugh, county judge at. Boise City, the j
attorney general holds that in coun-'
ties not over 10,000 population the
county clerk is made ex-officio clerk
of the county court without increased
compensation. The opinion holds that
the legislature has the right to add |
new duties to an office without increas '
ing the compensation.

of the ad club. Covers were laid for
1 -•" guests, and every place was filled.
When the great Oklsihonia City booster

When Mr. Brock rose to speak he
was given a rousing ovation, showing
clearly the esteem in which he is held
by his associates of the city. He told
of his experiences in New York City,
and of his work while there in the in-

KATY TAKES CASE
TO FEDERAL COURT
Contest Against Deep Fork Drainage
Assessment Continues.
Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 17.—The Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas railway com-
pany today transferred from the state
court to the federal court its case
wherein it contests an assessment of
$31,654 against its property in Okla-
homa county made for the purpose
of carrying out what is known as the
Deep Fork drainage plan. The com-
pany holds that the drainage will be
of no benefit to the road and that the
petitions calling for the creation of a
drainage district did not give a de-
scription of the property involved.
The Santa Fe, Frisco and Fort
Smith & Western have contested taxes
similarly assessed in Lincoln county,
where the Deep Fork drainage district
is being continued and where $114,-
000 is involved.
INDIAN LAND SELLS HIGH
Excellent Average Price Brought by
Unimproved Tracts.
Pawhuska, Okla., Oct. 16. Thirty
one pieces of Indian land, all im-
proved tracts, sold through the Indian
air* ney here, brought a total of $38,-
337.88, or an average of $11.50 an acre.
There was much competition by bid
ders and the government officers in
charge of the sale considered that the
Indians got an excellent price for the
land. The lowest price was $2 T.o an
acre for very rough unimproved land
and the best land brought as high as
$25.75 per acre. Another sale will

Davenport Writes Letter to Republican
Congressman Which Explains
Itself.

al Campaign Committee Third Okla
homa District.
Tulsa Oka., Sept. 29. 1910.
Honorable C. E. Creamer,
Republican Nominee for Congress,
Third Oklahoma District.
Muskogee, Okla.
Sir:
1 have tho honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of Sep
tember 26, 1910, replying to my letter
of September 8, 1910, and have read
the same carefully, and in reply there-
to will say that when I addressed you
my communication regarding th • cam-
paign, I did so believing that the peo-
ple should have an opportunity to hear
each of us, and if any statements were
made by either of us that were not cor-
rect the other would be present to cor
rect tjiem. Believing then, as I do no.
that you would make statements in
private wnen I was not present that
you knew were untrue. You say you
remember distinctly what 1 promised
before my election to the Sixtieth con-'
gress, and recall when the restriction
bill passed the house I dodged the
vote. You know, If you know enough
to read English, that this statement lr,!
untrue, and that the Congressional
Record shows this statement to be un-
true?. If you will examine the same
you will find that when the restriction
bill passed the House I \oted for the
same, then if you will examine when
(he conference report came up in the
House to be adopted by the House I
voted present, because the record of
the day's proceedings will show that 1
was paired with a gentleman, a man
who will tell the truth and who is a
Republican in politics. Honorable Ed-
gar C. Ellis, of Kansas City, Missouri
Manhood as well as parliamentary
rules forbade me from breaking the
pair, and no gentleman who had given
his word and paired with another gem
tleman would do so.
This is one of the false statements
that you circulated and permitted to be
circulated the last three or four days
before the election two years ago that
I desired you to go before the people
and make the statement openly so I
could show you up in your proper
light, and show you were misstating
the facts.
If I made any promise before I was
elected to the Sixtieth congress that
I did not fulfill or try to fulfill, that
is what I desired you to point out to
the people in a joint discusson, but
you decline. Why? Because you know-
that wnen 1 made a single promise I
always tried to make good, even
though I was a member on the floor of
the house? of the minority party, and
you further know that I made a fight
upon the floor of the House and pre
vented the Cherokee and Creek In-
dians from havng $45,000 annually t;ik
en from their royalty fund to maintain
the lease and deceased land depart-j
ment of the Union Agency at Musko-.
gee.
Your statement as to my claiming
credit for the passage of the act re-
moving restrictions is like your other
statements, incorrect. I claim credit
only so far as my vote and know ledge
of Indian affairs went, and as a lawyer
representing a number of Indian citi-
zens we brought Buit In the courts of
Oklahoma to test the question of tax-
ation. I brought the suit as an attor-
ney and I joined in the same with other
reputable attorneys and filed the case
in open court and have never tried to
quietly or secretly do anything, but
have always fought in the open.
I do not think that you can go before
the people and point out a single pro-
mise that I failed to keep or tried to
keep, even though at that time there
was a large majority of the House
against me.
You also take occasion to say that
there is a difference between my plat-
form and that of Honorable Champ
Clark's. I have always spoken what I
believed, and in turn I might say to
you that there is a tireat difference be-
tween your "Standpat platform" and
the Honorables, the Senators of Iowa,
f'ummings and Dolliver, Senator La-
Follette or Wisconsin, Senator Bri ow
of Kansas, and the Honorable Theo-
dore Roosevelt the Ex-President of the
United States, and many other prom-
inent Republicans v. ho believe in \ <rk
ing for the interest of the people and
not at the dictation of some machine,
but these too are questions that I de-
ire to discuss with you In order that
we might let the people know who we
are serving, but you decline. Why?

Congress, and after you had been [
placed upon these Important commit-1
