Goldsboro Visited By Fire, Wind
and Storm.
Goldsboro, N. C., Sept. 3.—
The worst storm in the history
of Goldsboro which made its a i-
dent about midnight last ni>ht,
suddenly broke over the city
again this afternoon, accom
panied by a wind of cyclonic
proportions which littered the
streets with telephone poles,
limbs of trees fences and electric
light wires. The storm seems
to be a general coastwise dis
turbance, reaching far inland.
Up to a ^ate hour tonight the
passenger train from the coast
at Beaufort had not arrived and
the Norfolk Southern train which
left here this morning for Beau
fort did not get beyond New
Bern doubling back from that
city.
People coming in from New
Bern report that storm has been
terrific in that section, cutting
off all telegraph and telephone
connection. The county bridge
over the Neuse River at New
j Bern, it is stated, has been lift-
' ed by the high water nnd jammed
I against the Norfolk Southern
bridge so that no train has been
'■ operated over this line to New
Bern today.
An engineer of a freight train
which arrived here at 6 o’clock
this afternoon. from New Bern
states that another bridge has
been washed away and that the
city of New Bern was under four
feet of water when he left with
his engine for ^ this city.
In the midst of the storm’s
violence here an alarm of fire
was turned in from the plant of
the Bitulithic Street Paving
Company but heroic work of the
firemen who reached the scene
promptly prevented serious dam
age
'Reports of great damage, how
ever/
ponent of the insect theory of
dissemination, declared that pel
lagra is rapidly becoming a sub
ject of world-wide concern.
Fifty-three case, he said, had
been discovered in the British
Isles, Hundreds of others, he
added, probably existed, but had
been unidentified because of the
general ignorance of physicians
in regard to the disease.
Although extensive research
work had convinced him, Dr.
Sambon said, that pellagra is
transmitted by insect, he had
reached no definite conclusion as
to the identity of the transmit
ting agent. He suggested that
the Buffalo gnat seemed a likely
suspect, drawing his inference
from the fact that the disease
spreads most readily along flow
ing streams.
Dr. Sambon urged thorough
and immediate investigation of
the whole pellagra problem,
whose magnitude, he said, has
not been generally recognized.
He declared that many cases of
insanity, ih his opinion, hav6 had
their origin in pellagra infection.
The conf erence was held under
the auspices of the Thompson
McFadden pellagra commission
of the New York postgraduate
school of medicine, and the local
medical society.

I a report like a pistt)l shot the tire
burst. Before the crowd, which
1 lined both sides of the track,
could realize what had happened
the machine skipped about 20
feet, swerved and plunged direct-^
ly at a flimsy fence to the side of
the course. Endicott was crush

The Sarata girl was instantly
killed. The car bounding from

Physicians Discuss Pellagra.
Pellagra, its agencies of dis
semination and possible preven-
tatives, formed the subject of a
conference of southern physicians
in Spartanburg, S. C., last week.
Nearly 200 studepts of the disease

Harry Endicott and Little Girl
Killed.
Jackson, Mich., Sept. 5.—Har
ry Endicott, of Anderson, Ind.,
a brother of “Farmer Bill” Endi
cott, the noted automobile racer
and Mary Sarata, of Jackson, a
10-year-old spectator were killed
and three persons injured here
this afternoon when Endicott's
automobile crashed through a
fence at the race track when one
of the front tires blew up.
The injured are George Ben
edict of Los Angeles who was
acting as Endicott’s mechanician;
Mrs. Mabel Walters and Frances
Hall, 13 years old, both of Jack
son. Benedict's condition is
serious. Neither Mrs. Walters
nor the Hall girl were seriously
hurt.
Endicott was driving a 100-
horse power car preparately to
an exhibition race against Ben
edict here tomorrow when the
accident occurred. Benedict
was at his side. The machine
turned a sharp curve as it swung
Panama-California International
Exposition.
San Diego, California.. Sept.
—San Diego, California is to see
the reproductions of the carvels
of Columbus, the Santa Maria,
.the Pinta and the Nina and the
harbor of San Diego is to be the
first one on the Pacific Coast of
the United States to hail them,
after they ha ve passed through
the Panama Canal. '
These reproductions of the
carvels of Columbus, construct
ed for the World’s Columbian
Exposition ih Chicago in 1893,
have been in Jackson Park, In
Chicago ever since tnat time,
but On the fifteenth of the pre
sent month they left the Jack
son Park lagoon, and really
started on their long journey to
the Pacific Coast They were
first taken to the drydock at
South Chicago, where they will
remain until they are made en
tirely seaworthy.
From Chicago the little fleet
will proceed to Boston and there
they will tie up for the winter.
In the spring they will be man
ned by crews of students from
Harvard and begin their long
cruise. It iis planned to skirt
the Atlantic, stopping at San
Salvador, the first land discover
ed by Coumbus, and then on to
Panama and through the canal.
Doubtless the littla vessels will
be compelled to stop at some
Pacific port on the west coast of
Ceiitral America or Mes;ico for
supplies^ but the irst stop on
American soil after their pas
sage through -the canal will be at
San Diego.
Andrew Kaul, of Boston, a
Harvard man, is behind the
movement to bring the carvels
to the Pacific Coast for- *he ex
positions in 1915. He has furnish
ed the Jackson Park authorities
a sufficient bond to insure their
return to Chicago. Winfield
Hogaboon of the San Diego Ex
position, has taken up the mat
ter of entertainment of the cre ws
of the ships while they are in
San Diego harbor, with Mr.
Kaul and has been assured that
the fleet will stop in San Diego
harbor for a sufficient time to
permit of proper and fitting cere
monies;, in connection with the
Pana,ma-California Exposition in
San Diego.

dreds of members of labor unions
and others employed in Knox
vine’s factories. The parade
proceeded from the down town
seetion to the exposition grounds.
President Woodrow Wilson,
through a wireless message ex
tending congratulations and ex
pressing hearty sympathy with
the undertaking formally opened
the exposition. His message
was received in “joy street” the
midway of the exposition city
where a wireless station had been
improvised.
At the meeting which followed
the receipt of the President’s
message Gov. B. W. Hooper and
Mayor S. G. Heiskell welcomed
the exposition officials and visit
ors for the State and city. Both
predicted great educational
benefits from the exposition.

outlined the purpose of the un
dertaking as the promotion of
conservation of natural resources
particular reference to be pa’ ^
i to forests and streanis.
