FIRST PICTURES FROM HURRICANE WRECKED ALASKAN TOWN
One Million Dollars’ Worth of Property
Destroyed and Twelve Dives Blotted
Out in Oreat Storm.
Over $3,000,000 in property and as
near as can be estimated twelve per
sons were killed in a great hurricane
that swept Alaska, destroying Nome.
“For a mile and a half along the
waterfront not a house was left stand
ing.” says J. J. McGrath, former editor
of *the Nome Nugget. “Every store on
the soutn side of Front street was
wrecked and small houses facing the
sea disappeared.
“An old school building was raised
aodily and dropped on top of a resi
lence, crushing it. Another school
touse was washed several hundred feet
’ip the Snake river and now stands high
#md dry on the bank.
“In one place for more than a quar-
.er of a mile houses are piled on houses
*Ml boats driven in are mixed with the
wreckagee, while in one place a steam
schooner stands on the ruins of a home.
“Over all the ruin is smeared a coat-
<ng of crude oil, hundreds of barrels of
which burst during the storm.”

BOLL MM DIFFERENT
FROM THE BOLL WEEVIL
Department of Agriculture Cor
rects Erroneous Impression
Prevalent in South
(BY RALPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—The
federal department of agriculture has
discovered that in many sections of the
south the cotton boll weevil is being con
fused with the cotton boll worm. It is
regarded as important to to the cotton
planters that his erroneous impression
should be dissipated, if the farmers are
to combat intelligently the ravages of
the pests.
“The boll worm is the larva of a moth,
and is only distantly related to the wee
vil,” tjhe department explains in a bulle
tin. “The weevil belongs to the large
natural group of beetles. The worm,
when hatched, is very tiny, but grows
rapidly, becoming finally a little more
than an inch long, and greenish op brown
ish in color. The weevil grub is white
and found only within the cotton square
or boll. It never exceeds one-half inch
in length.”
The department advises that a farmer
can insure a future cotton crop against
injury from the boll worm with compar
atively little trouble and expense, if he
wili pick his cotton as quickly as possible
and immediately thereafter ploy under
and harrow the fields.
Walks From Si. Louis
To Dalton, Ga., to Find
“Inheritance” a Bubble
Convicts Planning to
Escape From Prison
Get Too Drunk to Go
DALTON, Ga,, Nov. 6.—Disappointed
at the smallness or the estate he round
here, after having walked from St.
Louis, Mo., to prove his and his broth
er’s right to the property, A. Wandrel,
of St. Louis, has advertised for sale
the farm left here by his uncle, J. J.
Stand, who disappeared about thirteen
years ago.
Mr. Wandrei left St. Louis under the
impression that the estate consisted of
over 200 acres of land and a bank ac
count. When he arrived he found that
the farm consisted of only twenty five
acres, and there was no bank account.
On his return to St. Louis he decided to
advertise the property for sale.

ISSUES INCOME TAX
REGULATION ON NOTES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Supplement
al regulations governing payment of
income tax on notes given for interest,
rents or for other income accruing after
March 1, 1913, were issued today by the
commissioner of internal revenue.
The regulation provides that when a
note given for such purposes matures
on or after November i, 1913, the maker
of the note, the “source” where the in
come originates, is required in paying
the note to withhold the normal tax of
1 per cent where the amount is in ex
cess of $3,000, unless a claim for ex
emption has been made under the law.
In case an examption is made the
maker of the note shall withhold only
the amount in excess of the exemption
claim.

MORRI STOWN, N. J., Nov. 6.r-Two
drunken prisoners with a riot gun and
1,00 rounds of ammunition in the Mor
ris county jail terrorized other inmates
for several hours early today, riddled
the keeper’s office with bullets and
failed in their plot for a wholesale jail
delivery only because they drank too
much liquor after escaping from their
cells.
The two prisoners, Eugene Sampson
and John Burns, were placed last night
in the hospital ward with several other
prisoners charged, like themselves, with
minor offenses. Sampson and Burns
picked the lock to a door into the keep
er’s office, broke open a desk and pro
cured a bottle of liquor that had been
taken from a drunken prisoner a few
hours before. This they drank.
Then they broke into a store room
and obtained a riot gun and ammunl- j
tion. Returning to the hospital ward
they closed the iron door and began .
firing through it. As each shell contain- j
ed a number of bullets. The keeper’s!
office was riddled.
At daylight deputies and detectives
entered the jail. They found the in
mates terrorized. Burns and Sampson
were asleep in a corner.
BRANDS EXTRADITION
MOVE AS SUBTERFUGE
(By Associated Press.)
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 6.—The good
faith of legal representatives of New
•York in seeking the extradition of Har-
ry K. Thaw is attacked in a communi
cation sent to Governor Felker today
by Judge William M. Chase, of Thaw’s
counseli. Judge Cnase Wrote:
“The introduction of the indictment
obtained in New York county is addi
tional evidence of the subterfuge which j
the attorney representing the state of!
New York is employing to obtain the
aid of requisition proceedings for the!
return of an insane man to Matteaw&u.
not for the purpose of protecting him- j
self and the public against his insane 1
acts, but for the purpose of punish-;
ment; and an insane man who is a res
ident of Pennsylvania and for whose j
conduct the state of New York is re
sponsible only while fie is actually
within that state.”
It became known today that William
Travers Jerome will file no papers in
support of the extradition petitloh.
Governor Felker’s decision is expected
the last of this week.

IN CRASH WITH ICEBERG
LINER DAMAGED BADLY
(By Associated Press.)
ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Nov. 6.—
The Furness line freighter Manchester
Commerce, dragged her way into this
harbor today, her bow crumpled, and
her pumps racing madly to keep out
water pouring in through the shattered
hull.
The steamship which carries no wire
less, crashed head-on into a giant ..ice
berg at 2 o’clock Sunday morning, j
while about 100 miles east of Belle
Isle.
The berg loomed out of the black
ness so suddenly there was no time to
change the ship’s course and it swept
at full speed into the ice. The steel
prow of the liner was crumpled out
like a piece of tin as far aft as the
collision bulkhead.
Captain Couch headed his ship for
St. Johns. A storm swept the sea and j
the vessel had a hard time making
port. Torrents of water poured into
the hold through the. shattered bow. Tnt
pumps, constantly in operation, scarce
ly could old their own. The snip
reached here in sinking condition. It
carried 6,000 tons of general cargo and
a crew of forty officers and men.
LONGEST CASE RECORDED
IN WHITFIELD CLOSES
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., Nov. 6.—With the pay
ment of $400 by the North Georgia Milling
company to the Henderson Elevator com
pany, ard the final payment of the court
costs oy the former concern, the longest
drawn out case on record in superior
court here has at last been brought to a
close, after ten years of continuous liti
gation.
The case, in which about $1,200 was in
volved, was first tried in superior court
here in October, 1909. Dissatisfied with
the verdict, the case was carried to su
preme court where it was reversed. Five
times it was tried in superior court, a
new trial being granted by the court on
one occasion. Three times it was sent to
the supreme e«urt. and the wonderful
scope of the supreme court opinions, in
which point after point of law was inter
preted, makes the case of probably creat
or importance than any other reviewed
by the court, for reference. It was final
ly referred to an auditor, but exception
was filed to the report, and when it was
finally tried in superior court here, Judge
Fite directed a verdict which proved sat
isfactory to both sides, and the case was
ended after a perior of ten years.
The case had its beginning when the el
evator company shipped over $20,000 wortn
of grain to the local milling company, a
big percentage of the shipment being re
jected. The elevator company then sold
the rejected grain and sued the mills for
$1,200, the difference between what the
grain brought and what the mills had
contracted to pay. The mills rejected the
grain on the ground that it was defec
tive. i
Many Girls Enlist to
Aid Mrs. Belmont in
War on Useless Giving
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-—The S. P. U.
G., which may be recognized as the So
ciety for the Prevention of Uselbss Giv*
ing. met with such success in its cam
paign last Christmas that it is on the
warpath early again this year against
the useless Christmas present. The “S.
P. U. G.” are mainly department store
girls, who, under the leadership of Mrs.
O. II. P. Belmont, Miss Anne Morgan
and others, found their year’s savings
annually depleted by the obligation to
j contribute toward presents for those
I “higher up.” The idea of freeing them-
| selves from this Christmas “graft” and
all forms of useless giving spread like
wildfire and others joined the crusade.
The leaders liken the movement to
that of the “safe and sane Fourth” idea.
The- campaign this year is to be begun
with a great rally November 11.

TENNESSEE RIVER DAMS
TO BE CONSTRUCTED SOON
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
GHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 6.—Ev
ery indication points to the immediate
inauguration of work by the govern
ment engineers upon the proposed dams
across the Tennessee river at Caney
creek and Belle Fonte island. The two
dams are to be constructed with a view
to facilitating to a greater extent navi
gation upon the Tennessee river.
According to a statement by Major
Harry Burgess at Nashville, work will
be begun just as soon as practicable
and negotiations are already under way
for the purchase of the necessary land.
For the Caney creek dam an appropria
tion of $200,000 has already been made,
while $285,000 has been set aside for
the Belle Fonte project. The completion
of these two dams together with the
lock and dam at Hale’s Bar, Tenn., which
has eliminated the “suck,” the “broil
ers” and other impediments to naviga
tion, and other minor improvements
will render the Tennessee river the
longest navigable body of water in the
United States.
