GALVESTON WAS
PROBABLY SAVED
BY 4 SEA WALL
TROPICAL DISTURBANCE is NOW
SWEEPING OVER THE
GULF COAST
Wind Blew at q Velocity of Seventy
eight Miles an Hour at Galveston.
TWO Bathhouses and Pavilion
Were Blown High in the Air.

Galveston, Texas, July 21-The sea
wall saved Galveston today from what
might have been most destructive
hurricane out Of the Gulf.
The tropical disturbance which en-.
tered the Gulf on Sunday passed just
south of Galveston this morning and
the whirl of the wind produced a gale
Of wind which blew at velocity of
seventy eight miles for a few min
utes, and with a wind blowing at six
ty-eight miles for five minutes or
longer.
The wind began blowing this morn
Ing about Z O'Clock and steadily in
creased in velocity until nearly IL
O'clock, at which hour it blew it's
strongest and then began to sub
side. Ia
The barometer dropped rapidly
from 9 to 1870 O'Clock when it stood
1895, but the sea wall stood the tide
like the Rock of Gibraltar under the
terrific rolling and beating Of the sea,
which broke immense rollers which
shot sprays of water sixty feet in
the air, the water draining over the
paved boulevard inside the sea wall
into the city sewers.
Small Rise of Tide.
The tide rose only six feet as COM
pared to a rise of sixteen feet dur
ing the destructive storm of 1900, but
at that rise it would have been high
enough to put ten feet of water in
the city had it not been for the sea
wall. -
The damage in the city was com
paratively small and consisted of sew
eral fallen chimneys and the break
ing of few window panes.
Other Damage.
Two large bathhouses and a pavil-
ion on the beach outside of the
sea wall were totally destroyed with
the sea breaking over them like the
report of hundred cannon on the
sea wall The lighthouses and the
pavilion were forced high into the
air and wrecked.
Two fishing piers on the north
jetty, seven miles out in the Gulf,

The hurricane passed inland west
OF Galveston, and it is feared that
towns on the lower Texas coast have
suffered great destruction of life and
property 4S'1sg
The weather bureau at once noti-
fed the people living on the out
skirts OF the city to come in to
places of safety and the warning was
needed and thus much injury was
prevented.
The single-track trestle, two miles
long, connecting Galveston island with
the mainland suffered some dam
age by dredge passing over it, and
no trains were operated in and out
of the city after O'Clock this morn
ing. The damage to the trestle, how
ever, can be repaired in a few hours
and trains will be moving over it
late tonight.
Meagre reports have been received
from the lower Texas coast sections,
but it is feared that the damage has
been heavy.

Morgan, daughter of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, and Mrs. o. II. Belmont, mistress
of millions appeared today as duly
authorized labor leaders, charged with
the responsibility of directing in part
at least the strike of the 10000 girl
shirtwaist makers here.
These two women, in conference with
officers of the union, decided yesterday
on a definite plan of campaign, which
they believe will result in victory for
the strikers
A statement was given to the public
today saying that the two society lead
ers will provide legal defense for all
members of the union arrested While
doing picket duty and will personally
take up the work of directing the
strikers.
Mrs. Belmont expressed herself as IN
dignant at the manner in which the
police are alleged to have interfered
with the strikers. She has retained a
number of skilled lawyers to defend
them in the police courts.
At Miss Morgans suggestion, a call
has been issued for volunteers to act
shops where the strike is in progress.
These watchers, many of whom will be
prominent society women, will report
on the facts concerning arrests and be
ready to testify in behalf of the pickets.

Outrage Believed to BE Echo of Black

NE = YORK. Dec. 2O.-An echo of
the hatred felt by blackhanders for
Police Lieutenant Petrpsini, who was
assassinated in Italy, is believed to
have manifested itself in a bomb out
rage on the East Side here today.

SAYS WATER POWER
MONOPOLY IS MYTH
CONGRESSMAN M0NDELL RID
lCULES IDEA
Wyomings Representative Favors
State Control and Defends Sec
retary BaIlnger Against
His Many Critics

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Scouting
the idea that there is a Waterpowcr
trust and defending Secretary Ballinger
against some of the adverse criticism
of his administration of the land laws,
Representative Mondell of Wyoming
spoke today in favor of state, as op
posed to federal, control of develop
ment of waterpower, particularly on
the non-navigable streams.
He declared the federal government
has no constitutional authority to ex-
ercise control over the water of nom
navigable streams for any purpose. The
attempt to establish such federal con-
troll, he said, was an effort to take con-
troll from the people, who now exercised
it through the states, and lodge 1t with
the federal bureaus.
Calling attention to the fact that
Colorado. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
Utah, Oregon, Washington, California,
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico con-
tanned half the available waterpower
of the United States, he said the
phantom of a waterpower monopoly in
that region which certain persons had
attempted to conjure up was in
| describably grotesque and ridiculous.
Mr.. Mondell spoke of the influence OF
certain powerful bureaus" of the
federal government in building up and
fostering superficial public sentiment
He referred to what he termed the
loose talk about "giving away power of
incalculable value" "squandering the
waterpower of the public domain" etc
After Mr.. Mondell's address Chairman
Mann of the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce defended his bill
on federal control of dam and power
sites against what he termed was un-
warranted construction of it's language
by Mr.. Mondell.
A colloquy ensued between the two,
in which Mr.. Mann exhibited consider
able impatience and finally exclaimed:
Anybody on earth excepting the
gentleman from Wyoming can see the
meaning of my bill The trouble is that
he is so wrought up over this subject
that the action of any member from
east of the Rockies in introducing a
bill having a bearing on 1t is like wav-
ing a red flag at bull"

MYSTERY CONNECTED WITH
W0MAN'S DEATH UNS0LVE0
Police Undecided Whether Mutla'ed
Body of Seattle Girl Is Result of
Murder or Accident

SEATTLE, Dec. 2O.-Whether Mrs
Dorothy Woodhead, a young and at
tractive waitress, whose mutilated
body was found in Lake Union early
yesterday morning, was killed acci-
dentally on the street car trestle which
runs over the place where she was
found, or whether she was lured to the
spot and murdered, still remains the
subject of police investigation.
From the fact that little blood was
found on the trestle, and from the re-
port of physicians who performed an
autopsy last night. the coroner gives
the opinion that the girl was killed
and placed on the track, where the car
struck the body and flung 1t into the
lake.
Three men who live at the boarding
house where Mrs Woodhead was en-
ployed. and another man who was seer
with her in downtown cafe Saturday
night were questioned by the police
but not detained.
Her husband, who is said to have
written threatening letters to her, was
heard of last in Minneapolis.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20.-Ar-
tieles of an alarmisg character have
recently been appearing in certain
newspapers allied to the conservative
party in the duma.
These publications have led M. Is
wolsky, minister of foreign affairs, to
declare that current rumors concern
ing the gravity of the situation IN the
far east are unfounded.
Despite this official denial it is re-
ported in official quarters that Japan
is contemplating the annexation OF
Korea and that Russia is in no posi-
tion to even protest against the plan
From an unimpeachabe source it is
learned that M. Iswolsky, in the
course of a conversation with certain
deputies. admitted that Japan is arm
ing, but he does not know her motive
in doing so.
Reports Received
Reports as to Japan's military ac-
tivity have been received at the min
istry of war and the ministry of for
eign affairs.
II is true a most optimistic attitude
is being maintained, particularly on
account of the Views of NJ. lswolslty,
who has adopted for his motto
Healthy optimism in regard to
Japan: also because the minister of
war has not fully informed the minis
ter of foreign affairs of the situation
because of the strained relations be-
tween General Soukhomlinoff and M.
Iswolsky.
Alarm was caused by a report sub
mitted by the governor of Kam-
chatka.
