Bruised and Mangled Bodies

RESTORE TIE WATER SYSTEM
Officials Now Have Ample Facilities
for Caring for The Sick and
Wounded

Galveston, Sept. 19.-The work OF
clearing the streets Of debris is pro-
gressing rapidly under the perfect or
ganizatiou instituted by military rule
under Adiutant General Scurry. Over
1000 men are engaged on the work.
Ninoty-eieht bodies are reported as
having been found in the wreckage
and removed yesterday, making a to-
tai Of SCI victims so far recovered.
The list ia far short Of the accurate
number of dead found, because no Of
fetal records are kept. Bodies found
are buried or cremated, and no sys-
temadc record has been kept. The
storm wrecked almost every vault in
the six cemeteries, and many OF the
dead were washed to sea In metal
casketa. So far only one casket has
been found IL had been carried three
miles from the vault
The total number Of dead is still
estimated at 5000 to 5000. The news
paper list is over 4000 The names OF
many negroes. Mexicans, Italians and
other foreigners can never be secured.
The work unde- the direction of the
health department was pushed with
vlgor and rapldity yesterday. As fast
aa disinfectants arrive they are being
distributed over the city. Over a car
load Of disinfectants was taken from
the wharves yesterday and sent to tho
health department supply depot, and
almost as much was taken from that
place and distributed over the city.
Much was done yesterday in the way
Of removing debris and disposing Of
animal carcasses. The sick and
wounded are receiving the best OF
treatment and the facilities are such
that any one needing medical atten-
tion can have it on application. Be
sides the other hospitals and medical
relief stations already in service the
marine hospital and refugee camp was
opened yesterday afternoon and will
accommodate a large number Of pa
tients. Persons able to travel have
been taken from the hospitals and
sent to the revenue cutters and by
other means Of transportation to Hous-
ton and other relief stations on the
mainland.
The outlook from a health stand
point is very encouraging. Gen.
Scurry has ordered that all families
living within a block of the pile OF
debris back of the district entirely
swept away shall move out as a sanl-
tary precautiOn.
The water works system is being
gradually restored and the mains arc
now supplying the various hospitals.
The electric lights are also being rap
idly pushed.

He Sues to Recover $40, 900
on Contract
DENIES ALL CROOKED DEALING
Case Which EXciteS Much Interest
Here, Pending in New York
Supreme Court

Spiritualism and unlucky stock
transactions have brought Mary Alicia
Vanderbilt La Bau. daughter of Com
mcdors Vanderbilt.into the Supreme
Court Of New York as defendant in q
suit for recovery ofs20,000 alleged TO be
unpaid on q contract to purchase for
100000 a one-fourth interest in a pat
ent right owned by Arthur p. Dodge,
president of the Kinetic Power Com
pany, of Wilmington. The plant Of
the motor company rs near Edge Moor.
The lIinetic Manufacturing Com
pany lis a West Virginia corporation,
wsth offices in No. 21 William street,
New York. It's manufacturing plant in
the old beet sugar works on the Della
ware river a few hundred yards above
Gordon Heights. Several tests of the
motor have been made in this vicinity,
one of those interested being that cele-
b1ated agncstic the late Robert G. In
gersoll. The dealings which form the
subject of the suit were in the alleged
patents and stocks of the Kinetic
Power Company.
Mr. Dodge and family reside in Sum
mcr On a farm near Bellevue, Brandy
wine hundred Two or three weeks
ago they sailed for Europe.
Mrs. La Bau is a daughter of Com
modore Vanderbilt and his first wife,
Sophia Johnson, whom he married
when he was 10 years old and by whom
he had thirteen children. She is a sis
ter of William II. Vanderbilt, is an
aunt of William K and George W.
Vanderbilt, and a grand aunt of Cor
and COnsuelo the Duchess of MARI
borough, for whose son the Prince of
Wales is the godfather.
URGED BY SPIRIT VOICES.
In her answer TO the suit Mrs. La
Bau admits her belief in spirimalism,
and asserts that her faith in advice
from the spirit land was used to fitch
money and railroad stocks from her in
a business transaction which she de-
claros to have been based on fraud. She
was much impressed when spirit voices
told her in hollow tones that the pat
ent Of the Kinetic stock was good to
buy. Again and again she heard the
message from the hidden beyond.
Buy all you can get of Kinetic
Power Company stocki" they said She
did not ask for the ghost of the great
old mCneymaker to identity itself or
furnish credentials. Simply she obey
ed Instructions and invested in Kinetic
Power But even a woman, gullible
enough to believe that her dead father
may come from his heavenly rest to
tell her that the CChOe5 and Skaneat- /
eles preferred 5s are worthless, and
that she ought to plunge on The
Bronx Balloon stock on a rising mar
ket still may realize. in some unusu-
ally lucid moment, that she is being
deceived. And to that state of mind
Mrs. La Bau says she has attained ct
last.
So she has refused to pay to Arthur
=. Dodge 10000 in final settlement OF
her contract, and yesterday his suit
against her came up for hearing before
Justice Bischof.
SHE FOUND A MEDIUM.
