strenuous experience as the guest
of Los Angeles and the adjoining
cities of Southern California. After
a night's rest at the home of his sis-
ter Mrs. Edwards following
the' banquet in his honor last night
the president arose early and was
met by the local committee and
taken by special trolley car to the
National Soldiers' Home at Saw-
telle ten miles from Los Angeles.
Thousands of old veterans congre-
gated at the station and on tue line
of the walk through the grounds
cheered the chief executive whose
speech to them delivered from the
steps of one of the buildings was
filled with patriotic sentiment.
When the car reached Los Angeles
on the return journey it was met by
automobiles into which the party
was loaded and the trip to Pasadena
began. At Pasadena Mayor Early
of that city with an accompanying
committee met the president's party
and relieved Los Angeles committee
of its charge. Stops of a minute or
two were made in Monroe via Palm

Bernadino.
The president is scheduled for the
return journey eastward shortly af-
ter 9 o'clock and tomorrow he will
be in Arizona and on his way

prices. To obviate extortionate
prices the Mexican government
has promulgated an order temporar-
ily admitting corn from the United
States free from duty. The staple
will be admitted free as long as ne-
cessity demands and the duty will
then be reimposed.
Many merchants in Mexico are
telegraphing to brokers in the United
States ordering large shipments of
corn so as to avail themselves of
the free entry of the cereal.

By Associated Press.
Key West Oct. 12. With the city
in the hands of the military author-
ities who were called on by the may
or for assistance efforts are being
concentrated today on ascertaining
the damage wrought by the hurri-
cane which swept in from the gulf
yesterday. The estimated damage
to property in the city and harbor
will reach $2000000. No loss of
life has been reported in the city
but it is believed the death toll will
be heavy along the eastern coast of
the peninsula.
Many vessels which had been
swept from their moorings during
the blow yesterday afternoon man-
aged to ride out the storm during
the night and limped back to the
piers this morning but between CO
and 75 boats of all descriptions
were wrecked. It is feared that a
number of lives were lost. ' In the
city whole blocks of frame structures
were razed to the ground. Brick
houses also fell before the gale while
great tobacco factories and ware-
houses suffered considerably. It
will probably be several weeks be-
fore they will be able to resume
operations again.
The city is filled to overflowing
with vandals who were captured by
the militia and police during the
night. Thieves began operations
as soon as the fury of the storm
abated wrecking the electric light
plant and plunging the city into
darkness. The mayor immediately
took stringent measures to cope with
the situation and proclaimed mar-
tial law. The Key West Guards
were called out and patrolled the
streets during the night. The Unit-
ed States government was called on
also for asistan'-e in the stirni-
swept territory. Hundreds of the
homeless today are being cared for
in church buildings schools and
other roomy structures which es
caped the fury of the storm. Rations
are being distributed by the city
authorities and it is expected help
will arii- during the day frim
the state.
Two barrack buildiugs are unsafe
and not. considered rv- tiablo: the
hospital is partially unroofed and
supplies for that section are badly
needed. The condensing plant is
wrecked and all buildings belonged
to the army are flooded from the
rains. The hurricane blew at the
rate of SO miles an hour and con-
tinued for six hours.
.evs From Tampa.
Tampa Fla.. Oct. 12.- News re-
ceived here toaay indicates that the
west coast of the Florida Peninsu-
la escaped the full force of the hur-
ricane which yesterday swept up
from the gulf but great anxiety is
felt for shipping which is known
to have been in the path of the
storm. Every effort was made to
reach all vessels by wireless but witli
out success in many cases. Storm
warnings were ordered down the
west coast at 10 o'clock last night
indicating that the hurricane had
changed its course.
It is now believed that the damage
from the storm will be comparative-
ly light in the interior.
No news has been received of the
Mallory line steamer Lampasas and
j P. & O. steamer. Olivette the form-
i er having been due here at uoon
yesterday. It is believed they
i reached harbor at Punta Gorda be-
I fore the hurricane's greatest inten-

i Storm Veers to Bahama-.
Jacksonville. Oct. 12. Reports
received by the bureau here today
indicates that the hurricane which
swept the southeast coast of Florida
yesterday and last night veered di-
rectly east from Jupiter Islands and
spent its force in the neighborhood
of the Bahama Islands.
Another Version.
Wnshinoton. Oct. 12. All danger
to points on the Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic coast from the West In-
dian hurricane which wrecked Key
West Florida yesterday and swept
northeasterly over Florida is past
according to the weather bureau to-
day. The tropical storm after pas-
sing over Key West crossed the
Florida peninsula and went out to
sea at Miami. The disturbance is
now continuing with unabated force
northeasterly along the Gulf stream
and heading toward the Bermudas.
Reports Disbelieved.
New Orleans Oct. 12. Sensation-
al reports emanating from New Or-
leans . today telling of the loss of
800 lives along the coast of Florida
are discredited locally.
Heavy Losses in Havana.
Havana Oct. 12. Communciation
between this city and interior points
which was interrupted when yester-
day's storm tore down the telegraph
and telephone wires has not been re-
newed. Today reports from nearby
places indicated the property loss to
be especially heavy to the westward.

Detroit Oct. 12. Wintry blasts
greeted the baseball enthusiasts as
they made their way to Bnnett
Park today for the fourth gf jae of
the world's championship series be-
tween Pittsburg and Detroit. Al-
though the sun shone brightly lac
air was too cold for gooa baseball.
A brisk chilling wind prevailed and
overcoats were about the most
popular item on the card. Despite
weather conditions however the
crowd began gathering early in Ben-
nett Park. The brilliant rally of
Detroit in the closing inning of yes-
terday's battle despite their defeat
inspired hope in the breast of local
supporters.
Four umpires will be on duty dur-
ing the remaining games of this se-
ries two to work in regular positions
behind bat and bases while the
other two will be stationed at the
end of right and left field foul lines.
The players will share the receipts
of one or more games dividing it
sixty per cent to winners and forty
per cent to losing team. It is esti-
mated that the players will receive
about $65000.
Mullin and Adams are expected
to oppose each other on the slab
