Much of the 'governor's time today was occupied in receiving officials of the vari ous departments and judges of the courts. With the members of the supreme court Governor Taft held a prolonged conference concerning the drafting of a proclamation of general amnesty.

MORE MEN FOR FORT OMAHA Signal Men from Beaeoia Barracks Take Flaoe of These Sent to Cuba. NEW PAYMASTER FCR THIS DEPARTMENT Ueaeral Pershlna; aalla freai Japaa October 4 Bad la Expected to Take Command oa the Paelge Coast. (From a Stafr Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-(8peclal Tele gram.) One hundred and twenty-flve men of the signal corps at Tort Omaha nre under orders trf move, or have already moved, to their rendwou at Newport News, where they will tske transport for Cubs. In addition to these troops twenty flve signal men from Fort Wood, N. Y., are now en route to the Virginia capes, forming a company of 150 men under com mand of Captain George 8. Gilibs, now in Washington, who will Join his company at Newport New. Three llrst lieutenants mill ma with the enmnanv. William A. Rent, William A. Covington and John E. Abbott. Cop tain Glhbs Is an Iowa boy, having been born In Harlan and Is a gradu ate of the University of Iowa, entering the signal corps during the Spanish-American war. In order, to maintain Fort Omaha in Its first ponitlon in the signal corps fifty men from Bcnlcla Barracks. Cel., are un der orders to repair to Fort Omaha, Lieu tenant Grimm In command. The signal corps company from Fort Omaha goes with every equipment for both inside and outside line service and especially equipped with wireless telegraph sets Just recently made part of the field equipment. Chance at Omaha. Lieutenant Colonel John C. Muhlenberg, chief paymnster of the Department of tho Missouri, with station at Omaha, Is under orders to report to the paymaster general at Washington. D. C, as post paymaster, relieving Colonel Whipple, who goes to Cuba as chief paymaster of the first ex peditionary force. Colonel Muhlenberg volunteered for duty in Cuba, but as Colo nel Whipple, a ranking officer, had naked for the same assignment previous to Colo nel Muhlenberg's request. General Sniffen, paymaster general, decided that the wishes of senior officers should be first consid ered. In consequence of this ruling on the part of the paymaster general, Colonel Whipple secured the assignment to Cuba and this brings Lieutenant Colonel Muhlen berg to Washington. Major George T. Hollowayof the pay corps, stationed at St. Louis, Is under orders to repair to Omaha as chief pay master of the Department of the Missouri, vice Lieutenant Colonel Muhlenberjr. Colonel Muhlenberg was bulletined for San FrantHsco. the Cuban situation, how ever, has changed conditions considerably, and Instead Major Elijah W. Halford, now at Atlanta, will be assigned to the Depart ment of California. Cemmaad for PerahJagr. Brigadier General John J. Pershing Is under orders to sail for the United States' to be assigned to a command In. thlt coun try. General Perfthlng has . notified the military secretary. General Ainaeort, that he will sail from Toklo, Japan, where ho Is ' now military attache, on October 4, and expects to arrive at Vancouver on October 15. There, waa considerable speculation at the War. department among Pershing's friends as. to his assignment, whether he would be given a command commensurate with his rank In some one of tho depart ments or whether he would be called di rectly to Washington. With General Fun aton In Cuba, formerly In command of the Department of California, and General WInt at Newport News, In command of the Department of the Missouri, these two commands are temporarily vacant. But as General Wlnt, who Is expected to arrive from Omaha tomorrow. Is supposed to be on only temporary duty at Newport News, to see after the embarkation of troops and to take charge of an army camp that may be. erected there pending sailing, it is argued that he Is still, in command of the Department of the Missouri, and that, therefore, there Is no vacancy In the com mandant of that department In the case of General Fuston, however, a. somewhat different condition obtains, and it is Just possible that Pershing may be) assigned temporarily to the Department of California pending retirements and changes in the list of senior brigadiers. Quartermaster General Humphrey stated tonight that he was not advised of the movement of the Eleventh Infantry, with headquarters at Fort D. A. Russel, Wyo. Colonel Albert L. Myer, in command of the Eleventh Infantry enjoys the very rare and unusual distinction of having enlisted as a private in the regiment of which he is now colonel. Captain Marcellus G. Splnks, pay master. Is relieved from temporary duty in the Department of the Missouri and will proceed to Washington for duty In th office of the par naster general. Mlaor Matters at Capital.

POLICY KING" ENDS LIFE "Al" Adams of Sew York Manet Himself la Head at t Home. NEW YORK. Oct. 1. Albert' J. Adam, who made a large fortune as the head of the policy gambling combine, shot himself m the head lt night at his home In this city. His body was found this morning. Adam had been In poor health since his release from Sing Sing prison, where he wrved a term for ' having conducted a policy game in this elty. Soon after his release he became president of the Guana juato Amalgamated Gold Mines company. He was reported to be the financial backer of the firm of N. J. Snge Co.. of this city and New Jersey, the offices of which were raided In August on a complaint that the company was conducting a hucketshop. Mr Adams' son, Albert J. A-Jams Jr., however, declared that the only Albert J. Adams connected with the Pare company was himself. A "Al Adams took his life primarily be cause of the hounding he has received at the hands of the newspapers.'' said W. E. D. Stokes. When I went to Sing Sing, sent there by the governor to see what could be done for Sam Parks, I found Parks In a hospital cot. Nursing him waa Al Adams, who had known me for years. Ha said: " 'If J remain much longer here I will die.' I told him I could do nothing for him unless he agreed to sever bis counectlon with pol icy bustnene." Mr. Stokes said that Adams agreed and waa released from prison. Lately Mr. Stokes said Adams told him that he had suffered losses smounting lo WOO.OOO, of which $20,000 was lost In Union Pacific stocks. According to Mr. Stokes, Adams told him that he had loaned $2,(W,0I to his son, that he had loaned $M.ono to a trust company and that he had much money Invested In stocks from which, he could re alise nothing at present. About six months ago Mr Stokes said Adams appeared to be greatly depressed and Mr. Stokes asked him if he was worried by business troubles. "No, It Is not that." replied Adams, "but the newspapers and magaslnes have been hounding me so long about the policy and bucketshop business that I can stand It no longer, and If there is not a let-up I will kill myself. I can't stand It, old man: there haa got to be a stop to tt. I am an old man now and I might aa well finish It." ' At the office of the Colonial Security com pany, of which Adams was treasurer, it was said today that Adams has been ill of diabetes for a year and It was this lllnes that must have prompted him to commit suicide. An official of the company raid that Mr. Adama did not end his life because he had lost his fortune, for he did not lose It. At the time of hts death he was a very wealthy man. He waa one Of the largest In dividual holders of corner real estate In the city. He was also interested In other busi ness ventures paying large return PRESIDENT IN WASHINGTON Chief Executive Retarss to Capital After Spendlnar Rammer at Oyster Bays WASHINGTON.

Oct. l.-The weather bureau tonight announced that storm warnings are displayed on tho east gulf coast and on the Atlantic coast from Key West to Norfolk. MOBILE. Ala.; Oct. 1. Haunted by the recollection of the great storm which has Just passed and the possibility of sustain ing further Injury and Increased financial loss from-a heavy rainfall today and fear-, ful of what tomorrow might bring, the residents of the city of Mobile had today a most uncomfortable twelve hours and retired for the night filled with foreboding. Many residents of the place were at times in a stato of semi-panic over the dla po'.clies from Washington, which directed that storm warnings be displayed along the Florida coast. Many structures were weakened by the blow of Wednesday so badly that they will not be able to withstand a second attack of even less vigor and must surely col lapse. The office of the weather bureau was overwhelmed by anxious visitors who called by the hundreds to learn of tho probabilities of another storm. Poar Inches of Rala. The business houses of the city today sustained almost as much financial loss from a heavy rainstorm which set In shortly after midnight and lasted about twelve hours, aa from the recent disaster. There Is scarcely a building In the busi ness section of the city which haa 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 eievator snarts, leaking, roofs and upon unprotected upper floors, ruining all man ner of merchandise. 1 At 10 o'clock In the morning one of the leading merchants of the city declared that unless the rain soon stopped he would be utterly ruined and compelled to go out of business. Others were In a condition almost aa desperate. During the day frantic efforts were made to protect goods as fully as possible from the heavy storm which Is now believed to be a certain arrival within the next thirty six hours. Rala Caasea Great Distress. During the rain the water poured In the federal building through the elevator to such an extent that large pools were formed on every floor.

At a 'meeting of the cltlsens' relief com mittee held this afternoon it was agreed that while Mobile is entirely able to rare for the suffering within Its own city lim its, contribution will be accepted for the towns In distress on the bay. The Louisville aV Nashville brought trains Into the city from the north today for the first time since th storm. Tnsr Flee Up it ream. All the tugs In the river today fled up stream to escape a second hurricane, which the believed to be at hand. Representatives of the Maritime exchange were anxious to secure a boat with which to commence the task of recovering timber and logs lost In the storm. Not a tug, however, could be induced to remain near the city and all of them are now. hiding up the river. it has been decided that all the people on Danphln Island are to be brought to this city If another storm sets in. The revenue cutter Winona will visit the Island tomor row for the purpose of bringing them oft. if necessary. The crew of the Norwegian bark Norge, all of whom were reported lost, are safe, having been picked up 'by a passing steamer. The bodies of eight 'people were picked up today In the lower bay. On Dauphin island there are 600 people homeless, with only three small buildings in which they can obtain shelter. . Despite the tact that two relief expeditions were sent out yesterday, there are not more than enough provisions for more than one day, and additional supplies were down early today. While there is no suffering in Mobile proper, there Is urgent need at many points on the aouthern part ot th bay and assistance for these people will be greatly appreciated. Looters Aro Arrested. Arrests were made at some of the local coast retorts today of negroes who were caught looting some of the wrecked houses and it haa been determined to send additional details of militia to Coden and other points nearby to protect property. Word wts received last night that . from thirty to forty Creoles on Mon Louis Island are destitute and In imminent danger of starvatios. It Is doubtful, however. If j anything pan be done for them before to morrow, j The cltttens of Mobile have undertaken i j relief measures with energy and are send- I ing food aad clothing to the stricken points I as rapidly, aa possible. Next to food th I great neel la for clothing. Men and women in some place have been reduced to wearing coffee sack for clothing and there are tew sacka to be had at that. .

The suffering haa been Intent at Bayou La Ha tre and is still acuta.

Not only the people of the King's High way and the people In Omaha and Douglaa county, but all the people In the realm ot King Ak-Sar-Bnn had an opportunity to see the airship go up yesterday afternoon. Prof. Hamilton certainly made good. He Is $500 ahead by reason of his successful ascent, for it is of record he was to receive that amount above the contract price if he stayed in the air, literally, for fifteen minute. Mr. Hamilton remained up twenty minutes to the dot. He could hav stayed up twenty hour had he eo desired. Hla flight waa aa perfect aa that of a bird. Gracefully he rose from the King'a High way, glided easily ever the city hall In the direction of South Omaha, circled back around the railroad headquarters Just to let them know competition la coming, then again over the business part of town, back to the high school building and then with graceful descent h landed exactly In th spot from whence he sailed. He waa ni twenty minute and during that time sioat ot the places of amusement were dark. People Flock to Groaada. Peopet flocked out Into the King's High way to see the Impossible made easy. The applaue that greeted Mr. Hamilton upon lighting was deafening. The alrahlp was kept high In the air above the store build ings, but as few of those who were away from th carnival grounds were looking for the strange bird In the heavens thou sands did net see It The start and f!nlnh ara as interesting, and more so, than Is the flight across th heavens, so the best place to see tha performance ta the carni val grounds. The crowd during the afternoon waa a good one and all vt tb abowa were well attended. All the trains brought in people In great numbers and all made for the carnival grounds. Eugene Coyle and hla den of snakes created enough excitement to last a month. He, Mth bis helpers, were unloading the Gila monsters and the armadillo. They were In separate boxes. The Armadillo managed t' escape and i while the terror-etricken workmen ran for cover the Armadillo rusned under the floor of the photograph gallery next door. Naturally this caused a com motion In that place and Adair Galushii who had his picture half taken never finished. He Joined In the mad rush for freedom. In the st-rainblu to get out. the picture signs were all destroyed and the building almost d. nu i:hrd. Uaneral Man ager Donovan wi t f r and with a pair of tonga tore up Ihe floor of the photo graph gallery and secured th beast. Chloroform waa adm'mstered and the boaat was put beck into lis bog. He will not be exhibited until thlf afternoon. Iacldentb ', V
