| CENSUS
OF Devastated City.
Will be Taken to Learn
the Total Death List.
Loss of Life Now Esti-
mated at $1,000.
Debris Being Rapidly Cleared
Away.
Pitiable Condition Of Judge John ].
Reagan.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 1S.-(SplJ-
The work of clearing the streets OF
debris is proceeding rapidly under the
lively work of eight thousand men.
Bodies are constantly being uncovered
and 1t is estimated that $500 victims
still lie beneath the ruins One hun
dred and thirty corpses were cremated
yesterday, nine days after the hurri-
cane.
A census is being taken by wards
to obtain some approximate idea of
the total death list. An excessive es-
innate based on four persons to fam
lily in eleven out of twelve wards make
the number $1,000. The Twelfth
ward suffered most. Out of SAT houses
but twenty-eight are left standing.
Insanity and malarial fever claims
the attention of physicians and nurses.
In the first category the case of Judge
John j. Reagan Is most pitiable. The
Judge lost every relative he had in
Galveston and sits in silence relieved
now and then by burst of maniacal
laughter.
In the way of transportation, horse
cars have been put on in the business
part of the city. General Manager
Polk, of the Sante Fe, states that the
bridge across the bay would be re-
paired sufficiently to permit of the
passage of trains by Thursday at the
latest.
Up TO this writing the number of
refugees who have deserted the city
is 5000.
When asked as to the necessary
amount of money required to burn
the dead, clean and purify the streets,
feed and clothe the living and place
the people where they can he self
sustaining, Congressman Hawley, one
OF the representative business men OF
Galveston, said 1t would take $1,000
600. In naming this sum, however,
he does not mean that the losses can
be covered by any such figures.
Mayor Jones is authority for the
statement that the aggregate will be
20,OOO,O00. AS to the number of peo-
pie dependent upon charity the esti-
mates vary. Mayor Jones says 5000
while other authorities 20 as high as
$4,000 More nurses and physicians
are here than really are required, while
the food supply is plentiful and arrv-
ing faster than IL can be taken care

COUNCIL

desired to know who was responsib
for the introduction of the ordinances,
City Clerk Isbell in a clear. firm
voice, responded that he assumed the
responsibility.
II have prepared these ordinances. I"
said he, upon the request of large
number of prominent residents of Ak.
ron, who desire to have the person
selected as the head of the police de-
partment by the votes of the people
instead of by appointment. have
here an opinion from an able Akron
attorney Mr.. S. G. Rogers, which ad-
yises that these ordinances can be le-
gally passed"
The City Clerk then read Attorney
Rogers opinion, as follows:
u am Of the opinion that the Council
can repeal the ordinance creating the
office of Chief of Police, and likewise
repeal the ordinance abolishing the
Office of City Marshal. That part Of
the Akron and Youngstown act which
provides for the Office of Chief of Pc.
lice reads az follows: And the Coun.
ell may, when in it's opinion expedi-
ent, create by ordinance the office OF
Chief Of Police, and the Council NAV,
when in its opinion expedient, abolish
by ordinance the Office of City Mar
shall 1t will be noticed that this
statute provides that the office of Chief
of Police may be created by ordinance.
and the office of City Marshal, abol-
ished by ordinance. An ordinance can
always be repealed. There Is nothing
| In this section or in this act which
forbids the repeal of an ordinance
creating or abolishing such office;
there ia nothing which would even
seem to indicate that when the Office
once is established, 1t must remain
forever
ut seems clear to me that If the
Legislature left the matter Of the
creation of an Office to the sound iudg,
ment Of the Council, it would not be
unreasonable to presume that it like
wise left to the Judgment of the Coun-
Gil the power of determining how long
1t should keep the office. 1t seems un-
reasonable to assume that the Legis-
lature would permit Council to ex-
ercise It's discretion about creating an
office, and then prevent such exercise
of discretion as to keeping such Office.
The power to create by ordinance nee
essarily implies the power to repeal
whatsoever Is created"
After. the reading of the attorneys
opinion, President Fiebeger referred
both ordinances to the Police commit
tee of the Council.

The presentation of the surprise or
dnance In the Council Monday night,
by City Clerk Isbell proposing to abol-
ish the office of Chief of Police created
n profound sensation among officials at
city headquarters, and Tuesday morn
ing II was the only important matter
discussed.
Commissioner Mc(iarry. when asked
his opinion regarding the matter, said:
~ have always favored and believe
In giving the people as much voice in
the selection of city and other officials
as possible, and believe the ordinance
presented in the City Council is step
IN the right direction"
Mayor Young had no opinion to ex-
press to the public, except that he did
not believe the Council had authority
to again create the office of Marshal
after II had been once abolished
Evidently Commissioners Crisp and
McMillen had not yet seen Judge An
derson for their daily opinion at the
time Democrat reporter called at the
City Hall, for they had nothing to say.

ment do not care to express an opinion
