HURRICANE IS
 NEARING TEXAS

Washington, September 12.-All in- dications tonight point to the approach toward the Louisiana and Texas coast of the West Indian hurricane, the edge of which was severely felt and caused much damage last Tuesday evening at San Juan, Porto Rico. Since it was first noted by the weather observers in Porto Rico the progress of the trop- ical disturbance has been watched closely by the weather experts in Washington who have kept fully ad- vised all interests along the gulf coast as to the progress of the storm. So meager, however, have been the re- ports of the disturbance owing to it being so far away from the observing stations on land that only a vague idea has been had of the proportions of the storm.
 Reports from observing stations along the gulf coast made at o'clock this evening caused the weather bureau to order storm warnings displayed from Pensacola, Fla, to Point Isabel Tex Winds from the east and north east range from 20 to 24 miles an hour at all points on the coast from Burr wood, at the mouth of the Mississippi river, to Galveston.

 POLITICAL CHAOS

Nashville, September 12.-Nashville is teeming with politicians from every sec ton of the state tonight. Various theo- ries and suggestions are advanced in connection with the perplexing problems brought about by Governor Patterson s withdrawal from the gubernatorial race. but all is chaos and no one can safely predict the outcome. That the independ- ent convention on Wednesday will stand by the leaders agreement and indorse Col. B. w. Hooper, the republican nom- inee seems now assured, but the ques ton of the voters attitude is still open.
 Today in Sumner county public meet ing of the democratic committee and vot- CTS adopted resolutions suggesting a plan for selecting a democratic candidate that both factions could support, and it is understood that similar meetings are planned In other counties.
 Such suggestions have been considered by men prominent in both factions, but 1t is said here tonight that the independ- ent leaders are holding to their compact, charging that Patterson's step is but scheme to get hold of the legislature Until the state committees meet nothing tangible will be known.

BREAK THREE RECORDS IN THE FLIGHTS
 AT HARVARD AERO MEETING

Boston, September 12.-One worlds rec ord and two American records were broken by the flyers at the Harvard Boston aero meet today. Ralph John stone in a Wright aeroplane made new marks in accuracy, duration and dis tance events, while an achievement no less marvellous was a flight of Claude Grahame- White of England in which he went twice to Boston light and return from the field, a distance of 33 miles, in 34 minutes, 1-5 seconds. or almost mile a minute for the entire distance using a Bleirot monoplane. Fearing the mark of 40 minutes and 1 3-5 seconds he set last week over this course might be bettered, White covered the course again today and finished his remarkable eX- hibition of speed in front of the grand stand on the aviation field where 35,0oo people applauded him. feature of slightly less interest was target shoot Ing from a aeroplane with a regulation service rifle by Lieut.. J. F. Fickel, sharpshooter The army officer went up with Charles F. Willard, who went round and round the field while the marksman cracked away at targets on the ground. There was large percentage of hits and from an experimental standpoint the work was considered highly satisfac- tory and valuable.

 "The democratic party in Maine," he said, "as to its state ticket made it's con- test on the ground that the republican party had been wasteful and extrav- agant in its conduct of affairs of the state.

CANNED MUSIC IS
 POPULAR ON RANGE

San Antonio, Tex, September 12.-(Spec- ial. )-Canned music has become one of the most popular articles of commerce In the COW country. San Antonio music houses report a land office business and strangely enough the cowboy goes in Tor Caruso and Melba and the other head leaders instead of the ragtime stars.
 The cattle business from the earliest times cultivated necessity for love or music, In the old days when the cow boys drove the herds overland in Kansas and Wyoming at night when the cattle were bedded the cowboys rode around them all night and literally sang them to sleep. The soothing effect of the croon- ing songs prevented panics and stam- pedes. Necessarily this developed the singing cowboy and many of the weird songs of the plains still survive in the cattle country of Texas. Harvard nrofessor has been here making collec- ton of them.
 Now. however, when the wire fence zig gags through the land the necessity or the singing cowboy is not so great as the cattle are shipped to market m freight cars Nevertheless, the love or music still survives among them and the latest musical development has made IL nossible for many lone hillside Tn the mountain country of Texas to re-echo the dulcet tones of Farrar and Sembrich ana company.

 The result in Maine indicates that only a miracle can save the g. O.
