Help to Hungry and Naked
in the Suburbs.
MOBILE, Ala., Oct. l.-The business
houses of the city today sustained almost
as much financial loss from a heavy
rain storm, which set in shortly after
midnight and lasted about twelve hours,
as from the recent disaster.
Scarcely a building in the business sec
tion of the city has a roof capable of
keeping out the rain.
Many of them have no roofs at all. and
during the storm of today, in which four
inches of rain fell, the water poured
down through elevator shafts, leaking
roofs ami upon unprotected upper floors,
ruining all manner of merchandise.
The water poured into the Federal
building through the elevator in such
volume that large pools were formed on
every floor. At his office" in the City
Hall Mayor Lyon sat at his desk with
his feet drawn up under his chair to
keep them out of the puddles on his car
pet and wore his hat to keep the ram
from falling On his head.
The roof of the City Hospital, which
Vila hallll. l ........ rrr J IT " , 3 A.
and which had been temporarily repaired,
'was leaking .badly today and the Mayor
dispatched an emergency corps to make
it a lit. place for the sick.
At a meeting or ne .Citizens Relief
Committee held this afternoon it was
agreed that while Mobile is entirely able
to care for the neighboring sections of
the country, assistance will be accepted
for the aid of the sufferers from towns
on the" southern part of the bay..
- Great Disasters Along Bay.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad
tonight brought trains into the city
from the north for the first time since
the storm.
The crew, of the Norwegian bark, all
of whom were reported lost, are safe,
having been picked-up- by a passing
eteamer. .
The bodies of eight people were picked
up today in the lower bay.
On Dauphin Island there are R00
homeless, with only three small build
ings in which they can obtain shelter.
Despite the fact that two relief expe
ditions were sent out yesterday, there
are not more than enough provisions for
one day, and additional supplies were
sent down early today.
Arrests .were made at some of the
lower coast resorts today, of negroes
-who were calight looting some of the
"wrecked houses, and ' it has been de
termined to send additional details of
militia to Coden and other points near
by to protect property.
Word was received last night that
from 30 to 40 Creoles on Mon Luis Island
are destitute arirl in immediate danger
of starvation. It is doubtful, however,
If anything can be done, for them before
noon tomorrow.
a
Sends .Clothing to Destitute.
The citizens .of Mobile have under
taken measures with energy and are
sending food and - clothing to the
stricken points as rapidly as possible.
Next to food, the great need is for
clothing. Men and women in some
places have been reduced to wearing
coffee sacks for clothing, and there are
few sacks to be had at that.
The first thing done by the relief ex-
Coden was to give the people clothing
with which to cover themselves. The
suffering has been Intense at Bayou La
Batre and is still acute. Memhers of
the relief committee which visited that
place reported that they were followed
through the streets by little children
who were crying and begging piteously
for bread.
A large number of tents were taken
to Dauphin Island last night and more
today.

today, one a negro named Leslie Shep
ard at Robinson's Point, and the other
two section hands near Escambia bridge.
The .death list is thus swelled to S3, but
it is understood that Miss Parsons, a
young lady reported to have been
drowned near Mary Esther, has been

COSSACKS WADE IN BLOOD
Exhausted With Murder and Mutila
tion, They Compel Victims to
Klog One Another Innocent
Suffer for Guilty.
KHERSON, Oct. l.Xinety-seyen peas-,
ants were tried here today.on the charge
of devastating the estate of M. Krivo
shein, ex-Minister of Railroads. Sixty
three were sentenced to imprisonment,
while 34 were acquitted.
The trial brought out a recital of the
horrible atrocities committed by the au
thorities upon the accused. The chief of
the district, accompanied by a detach
ment of Cossacks, reached the estate
soon after the devastatlon.- All the peas
ants on the ground were at once gath
ered in. No investigation was made. The
chief invited priests to administer the
last sacrament to th? prisoners and then
ordered the Cossacks to beat them all
to death. The butchery lasted for four
hours. Twenty-three peasants were
killed and 135 were mutilated.
The Cossacks then, thoroughly tired
out. .compelled the peasants to continue
flogging each other and men had to beat
their own brothers, sons and fathers.
The victims of this slaughter were inno
cent, those really guilty having escaped
by flight.
- In splte- of these revelations, the court
found sentences as related above.
REGENCY MAY RULE RUSSIA
Czar's Health Breaks Down and He
" May Abandon Reins.
NfcW YORK. Oct. 1. The Czar's ab
sence from Russia, a special cable dis
patch printed here today says, has given
rise to discussions' in Paris over a re
port there that his- majesty- might cease
to direct the affairs of his realm.
The Petit Parisien, in this connection,
prints, a St. Petersburg dispatch, saying
that court circles are seriously dis
cussing an eventual regency. The reason
given for such ah eventuality is that
recent incidents 'have so affected the
Czar's health that his condition has in
spired lively anxiety Trmong his en
touarge. The Kcho de Paris .publishes, from what
it oays is a good source, a persistent re
port circulating In Copenhagen that the
Czar and Czarina have been in that city
.for two days.

City Official Tells Result or Study
of Municipal Affairs While
Visiting In the East.
Portland is a mighty fine place to live,
in fact the best in the country, accord
ing to City Auditor, Devljn, who returned
yesterday afternoon after spending . a
month in tha East.. . Mr. Devlin com
bined private business with pleasure in
making the trip, and also took occasion
to follow his particular hobby of study
ing municipal conditions while he was
in some of the large Eastern cities. He
was accompanied by his father and moth
er, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Devlin.
"Yes, I have bad a- pleasant trip and
I am glad to be home," he said last
night. "Portland never looked so good
to me as it has today. While I was
gone I spent some time In Denver. Kan
sas City, Chicago, St. Paul, Fargo .and
Omaha. I found that the whole country
Is prosperous, but In no place did I ob
serve a steadier growth or more sub
stantial development than In this city.

of flowers in Eastern cities as compared
with. Portland. . Portland is fairly well
known jj.s the 'Rose City." It is an unique
advertisement. We should profit more
largely from the advantages nature has
bestowed upon us. We have a good city
to live in and to do business in, but the
beautiful appeals to large numbers and
the 'Rose City,' If made even .more so
in fact will attract thousands of the
most desirable people.
"I looked into municipal affairs as
much as possible during my short visits.
I found just as many bad streets In
other cities as here. In some instances
we have street construction . superior to
any I saw. We have not sufficient hard
eurface pavements in our residence dis
tricts and I do not think we shall have
until we adopt the district method of
improvement. I noticed in Kansas City
repairs being made to asphalt pavements
which seemed far better, more ex
peditiously and much more economically
done than here. I also observed that
other citles are doing far more hand
cleaning of hard-surface streets and less
sprinkling, followed by sweeping with
power brooms.
"I. find that the - equipment of our
street railways is equal to the best else
where and that the roadbed construction
on hard-surface streets is superior. I
was Interested in the fender question be
cause of the investigation here, but did
not observe a satisfactory device in any
city.. Many of the Eastern cities' have
large, clumsy fenders, but they do not
seem to accomplish much more than the
ones In use here. It seems to .be a gen
eral municipal problem for which a sat
isfactory solution has not been reached.
"Yes. I had some time to inquire about
garbage,"said Mr. Devlin In . reply to a
question. "My conclusion is that the
only satisfactory system for the dis
posal of garbage Is by a reduction plant.
There are many incinerating Bystema in
use. Each is declared perfect by the
manufacturers and the purchasing offi
cers of cities and awaits, only a new ad
ministration to be condemned and de
clared an expensive nuisance. The con
tract system of collection with municipal
control fixing the maximum rates to- be
charged householders seems to be the
cleanest and most practical .method.
"I also want to say that on two occa
sions in New York I heard the most fa
vorable comment concerning a Portland
publication, the Pacific Monthly. I was
pleased to hear good , words for its
articles and illustrations.""
