ANOTHER OBJECTION TO DAVIS BILL.

Controller Coer continues to find features
of the Davis law which are obnoxious to him. He
said yesterday that the law provides that pay
ments for school sites should be made by the
Board of Education Property acquired for school
sites frequently Is encountered with mortgages
leases and life tenancies. notices for the settle
rent of which must be given by the Controller
the financial officer of the city. The city some
times has claims against the property for un-
paid taxes. Mr.. Coler says that the Board of Edu-
cation has not the means to investigate and settle
all such claims, and there is danger that the city
will lose much money in the requirement Of school
sites by the Board of Education.

STORY OF THE STORM
AS IT SWEPT DOWN ON The CITY

refuge. The public school buildings
court house, hotels, in fact, any place
that offered apparently a safe refuge
from the elements, became crowded to
their utmost. Two minutes Of $3.50 p. M,
just before the thermometer blew way,
it had reached the frlgh,iul velocity Of
100 miles an hour. Buildings that had
hitherto stood, tumbled and crashed,
carrying death and destruction to hun
dreds of people. Roofs sailed through
the air windows were driven in with a
crash or shattered by flying slate, tele-
graph telephone, electric light poles
with their mass of wires, were snapped
off like pipe stems and water pipes were
broken
What velocity the wind attained after
the thermometer blew off is purely mat
ter of speculation. The lowest point
touched by the barometer in the press
correspondents Office which was filled by
frightened men and women. was 2S.O4 10;
this was about 7.:30 p. m., It then began
to rise very slowly and by 10 p. m., had
reached $500, the wind gradually subsid-
ing and by midnight the storm had pass
ed. The water, which had reached a
depth of eight feet on the strand at 1
o'clock in tn afternoon, began to ebb
and run out very rapidly and by a. m.,
the crown of the street was free of water
Thus passed out one of the most frightful
and destructive storms which ever devas-
tated the coast of Texas.
The city is filled with destitute, bereft
and hopeless, homeless While in the i'm
provised shelter are the rigid forms Of
hundreds of victims. Whole families are
side by side. The city beach in the
southeastern part of the city was under
ten feet of water and the barracks locat-
ed there are destroyed the soldiers hav-
ing a miraculous escape from drowning.
Many substantial residences in the west
ern and southwestern part of the city
were destroyed and the death list from
there will be large.
A heavy mortality list is expected
among the residences down the island
and adjacent to the coast on the MAIN
land as both were deeply flooded and the
houses were to a great extent insecure.
The heaviest losers by the storm will be
the Galveston Wharf company the South
ern Pacific company and Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe railway company and the
Texas Lone Star, FIGURING company.

Houston, Texas. Sept 1.-THE Santa Fe

day, finding conditions along it's line
similar to those prevailing along the CAL
weston, Houston & Henderson. In many
places homeless inhabitants of the Sec
ton traversed were housed in empty box
cars, while others were sitting on the
wreck of their household effects. Many
sufferers are destitute and will have to
be given free transportation to places
where they are sure of obtaining shelter
and sustenance Every building in Pear
land was either damaged or destroyed,
but no lives were lost there. At Alvin,
the story is also gloomy. Besides the
great damage to property that town has

timbers.
MIR. w. P. HAWLEY, crushed by de-

The town Of Angleton severely suffered
from the storm and assistance is greatly
needed.

signs of severe visitation and many are
in need of help. The 12-year old son of
James Rodacher was killed at Arcadia.

inclined to believe that this step will

mately acquiesce, leaving Great BRITAIN

'As left I saw barge freighted

This manner of burial is imperative:

Mr.. Russ story was confirmed.
Adjutant General Scurry, who is now

sent to Galveston to prevent looting,
vandalism and other lawless acts,
