Wires Down In Raleigh As Storm Rages Titanically
Wires all down into Raleigh and telegraph lines deranged by high winds. The Raleigh Western Union switchboard caught fire as flames lit the room and managers cut wires to stop the blaze. News of the cyclone came via scattered reports until late last night when Oxford lines were resurrected. Debris carried by the storm was seen near Raleigh and Gaston shops underscoring its reach. Cleveland offers praise for the World's Fair, and a Civil Service critique argues for abolition of useless offices to end friction in government.
