Tampa, Oct. 20.?W.th telegraphic communication between this section of Florida and the outside world es? tablished today a recapitulation shows a devastation of hundreds of thousands of dollar* In the wake of the West Indian storm which swept across the peninsula Tuesday. The toll of life, so far reported. Is lim? ited to six seamen who are sup? posed to have perished when vessels oa which they were quartered broke from ihelr moorings at Marquesas aad were driven out to sea. Wire communication with points south of Tampa has not yet been established, but Information brought by mail Indicates that the storm passed south of Tampa, devastating r orange groves, leveling frame houses aad doing much damage to small shipping In the many passages along the Inland waterways. So far reported Key West was the worst sufferer. Despite the optimistic dispatches sent out by wireless In which the damage there was mini? mised, passengers coming In on the steamship Olivette this morning re ported the general damage to the tatand city greater than that of a year ago. The electric light plant was wrecked, the wireless station blown 4?o? n half a dosen of the largest cigar factories which withstood the htow a year ago, are In rulna with half a hundred other buildings bad? ly damaged. Reports of the severe damage at Key Waat were confirmed here by the exhibition of photographs sqow hsg that houses had been moved from their foundations and carried a distance of several blocks. Some of tbee? were deposited without ma? terial damage to the buildings them? selves. Blx of the lives reported lost were seamen on the sloop Nabob which sMpped its moorings Tuesday morn lag and was washed out to sea. One rrf these was I whl'e man. the other g^f. K?'n? ope - ?

Several Candidates for Office in Primary ? Executive Committee Meeting on Tueaday. Mr. Horace Harby has been ap? pointed by Governor Ansel, upon the recommendation of the county legis? lative delegation to fill the unexpired term of J. D. Wilder.

The executive committee was asked to meet on Tuesday and order a spe? cial primary for the election of someone to fill the position. CALLED MEETING OF COUNCIL.

CARLISLE FOUND GUILTY. : - I ni:iu:kky BANKER convict | BD in FKDKARL COURTS. AgtMl Former Hank I'n'sldni! 1H? clarcd to Havo MIhums! Money of Institution. I Greenville, Oct. 20.?After a nine day's trial, Milton Anderson Carlisle, i formerly president of the Newberry National hank, was this morning found guilty In the United States district court on five counts of an in- j dictment containing 162 counts, al- j loglng misapplication of the funds of the bank. The verdict was not i guilty as to the remainder of the Indictment. A motion for a new trial by the attorneys for the Je feose will be argued before Judge Brawley Monday afternoon. Three of the live counts upon which Carlisle was convicted are based on drafts drawn by the Cold Point Granite company, which the bank paid, but which were refused by the parties they were drawn up? on, the bank not being reimbursed. Carlisle was president and treasurer of this company. The other two counts are based on misapplication of funds which were paid in by a farmer upon noles due the bank, but which Carlisle was alleged to have applied to his own use. The total amount of money Involved in all these transactions is less than $500. To bulk of the indictment, upon which he was found not guilty, was baited upon overdraft of his personal account, and of the account of the Cold Point Granite company to a considerable sum when "he had no reasonable ground to believe that theee funds would be repaid," as both Carlisle and the company were insolvent or hopelessly involved. Carlisle |g 70 years of age, and has been president of the National Dank of Newberry since 1899. The indict meet, however, covered only the years of 1907 and 1908. j The case was begun on October 10, the true bill having been render- , ed by the grand jury at the session of this court a year ago. Carlisle can be sentenced to five years on each of the counts on which he was found guilty.

The following extract from Judge Prince's charge ti> the jury in the case of the State vs. James Calk (the test case against the Elks Club) will be found interesting by all who have given thought to the question of the relation of social clubs to the liquor law. In his charge Judge Prince cov? ered the whole question of the liquor law and the right of an individual to have liquor for personal use, rather fully, but only that part of the charge which relates directly to clubs is of interest In this connection. Judge Prince construed the law as follows: "Now, I charge you as to tha clubs, and I am glad of the oppor? tunity to so charge you. It is per? fectly competent to run a club ac? cording to law, and to have whiskey there, whatever you and I may think of the immorality of the act; whether you and 1 may approve from a moral standpoint of the act. But how is it possible? It is possi? ble when every man orders his own liquors, gets it and keeps It in his own locker; where he orders his own beer?if there Is been there? and keeps it himself under his own control. It is unlawful for a club to order liquor and to sell It out to its members, even though it should sell it without profit It is unlawful for it to sell beer then?or to sell the members tickets and allow them to cash them on beer or liquor. That is unlawful. The question of wheth? er or not a profit is made out of it does not enter Into the transaction. The question is whether it Is sold, whether sold by the entity or cor? poration through its individual members. If a corporation has got it and sells it to Its members, It is a violation of law, and that Is all there Is about It, and the manager and ev? ery man who is a member of the club, If It is sold according to the rules of the club,?every man who Is a member of It is guilty of a vio? lation of law, and it doesn't make any difference whether high or low, rich or poor, every man that is con? nected with dealing with liquor or beer there is guilty. Now, it is per? fectly competent for you to be a member of any club?social club, put it in your it there when consider that a use, as argued i same as hav? ing it in your home and drinking it there; that is your place, but you can't buy by the club and distribute it to the members who call for it. That is a sale, even though you don't make any profit. That is a sale. I charge you that no club has any more right to sell liquor than an In? dividual has?it has no right to buy It and distribute it amoagst its members, and, if that is what these clubs do, however noble their mem? bers may be, they are violating the law?everybody connected with st. If the club is doing it according to its rules and by-laws, every man that is a member of the club is guil? ty, and the manager or agents hav? ing the active management of the niatbr are guilty."
