NEW ORLEANS, Sept 26. One
week ago tonight, the white-winged
sea gulls flying wildly Inland from
the gulf gave warning with their
screams of the much dreaded West
Indian hurricane that was to closely
follow. Along the entire toast were
countless happy fisher folk and sailor
men, the thousands of trim craft and
comfortable homes bearing token of
the advent of a prosperous season.
Today vast Hocks of vultures hovered
over the ' devastated lowlands of
Southern Louisiana, strewn with In
numerable carcasses of animals and
men. The scene was one of terror,
desolation and death.
Stunned by tho damage that was
wrought by winds and waves, the
work of relief did not give people
time to mourn. All energies were
bent for the, remainder of the week
In the task of rescuing those still In
peril and succoring those who had
suffered in the storm. Almost a

'The loss of human lives and the
widespread destruction of property
in this archdiocese through the re

much sorrow and distress that any

Conviction of MeCaim Ts
Only Beginning of Dis
trict Attorney's Fight.
OTHERS HIGHER IN IT
CHICAGO, Sept. 26. Following the
conviction today of Police Inspector
Edward McCann by a jury of accept
ing money from resort proprietors In
return for protection, the underworld,
police department and city officials
are panic stricken and demoralized to
night. State's Attorney Wayman de
clares that today's verdict Is only the
beginning.
Detectives from the states attor
ney's office, working Independently of
the city police department, are search
ing every section of the city tonight
and shadowing well known politicians.
Wayman declares that he has con
vincing proof that will implicate many
men "higher up."
It Is admitted that three bench
warrants were Issued late this after
noon against well known Chicagoans.
Maintaining his sphinxlike attitude re
garding exact information, Mr. Way
man decline to tell wham these war
rants are for, or whether or not they
will be served before morning. He
Insists, 'hnwi ver, that his real "graft
bomb' is to come later, and that he
is only now engaged In a preliminary
KklrmiHh.
Police Set I'p Obstacles.
Wayman openly charges In long In
terviews that detectives from his de
partment nre being hampered by the
central office. lie declares that sev
eral (if his sleuths have been threaten
ed with arrest and that their actions
have been tipped off to suspected per
sons. That Wayman has thrown conster
nation into the camp of the under
world is evidenced by the fact that
early this afternoon several well
know resort keepers and "ward heel
ers" left the city. All kinds of un
confirmed rumors are prevalent. One
is that Wayman has a wan-ant in his
possession for the arrest of a high
city official. He will not deny or con
firm this report. All he will say Is:
"Wait. I have just started. Chicago

TOLD STORIES AS
HE BLOSSOMED OUT
Duties of Good Citizenship
And Kindred Affairs DIs
cussed by President
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Sept. 26.
In the pulpit of the famous Mor
mon tabernacle in this ell." where four
years ago Theodore Roosevelt, Hu n
president, preached a long sermon on
right living and the duties of goo I
citizenship, President Taft faced an
audience which he said Inspired him
to try to follow in the footsteps of
his predecessor.
The president's sermon was an ap
peal for amity between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action of others
When possible to do so and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
"A soft answer turneth a way wrath
but grevlous words stir up anger,"
was the text Mr. Taft selected from
the hook of Proverbs. The sermon
was largely made up of a relation of
stories to give emphasis to the points.
From the tabernacle the president
was driven to review about twenty
thousand school children. At one
point along the line a thousand or
more children had been arranged in
a Uvl g flag, red, white and blue caps
and capes serving to outline the na
tional colors. '
Thence the president proceeded to
the Young Men's ChrMiuti associa
tion where he made n brief addross
to men. Lastly the president attended
services especially arranged for him
at the Unitarian church. After this un
usually busy Sunday morning he left
Suit Lake at noon for ogden where he
enjoyed an eighteen mile ride through
Ogden canon and made his third ad
dress of the day at Lester park.

from the firm for Gilbert ICsler, her
