Many small towns along the coast
reported severe damage from wind

was obtainable of the reported loss
of 500 lives at Coracoke island. or
the Carolina coast.
unsubstantiated rumors continued
to be current that all inhabitants of
the island had perished when heavy
waves swept their homes. Efforts to
reach even the coast towns near Co
racoke failed, wires being down over
the adjacent section, and wireless sta.
tions. presumably wrecked by the
storm, irresponsive to their calls.
Delayed messages from Washing
ton, NewbUrn and other towns near
the coast, told OF floods that sur
passed all previous records. Every
stream in the storm swept section
was swollen by the torrential rains
and incalculable damage to crops is
expected TO result. Many bridges
have been swept away.

LOS ANCESES BUSINESS MEN
TO INTEREST LANE IN VALLEY

Booth expects to get in communi-
cation with Lane at San Francisco to-
day over the long distance telephone
and to elicit from him promise to
visit this city on his way east. In case
Lane acquiesces in the plans of the
board he will be taken on tour of the
Imperial valley and, with maps be
fore him, he will be thoroughly famil-
iarized with the crying need for early
government action that the water us
ers of the Pacific slope may be forever
assured of sufficiency of Colorado
river water for development purposes.
Booth stated yesterday that if the
secretary of the interior can be per
suaded to come here and will set a
definite date for his visit, he will i'm
mediately call meeting Of the board
to rs-ake plans for the visit to the I'M

In fear that the diversion of water
from the watershed of the upper Col

valley, the Los Angeles Chamber Of
Commerce is making an effort to in

Exports from the cotton districts
of the south to the Orient via San
Francisco are very heavy, and San

to get control Of the shipments from
Southern California and Arizona,

combined yield eventually will reach

The coming of the San Diego dele

CH|CACO GOES GOLF MAO
ANO BASEBALL SUFFERS

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Golf, as a
sport for all classes, threatens to en-
ter into active competition with base
ball with the extension of golfing
facilities in Chicago parks next year.
Father, mother, sister and all the
grown-up brothers are taking keen
interest in clubbing the little white
ball over the public courses at JACK
son Park.
Time was when golf was distinctly
the pastime Of Chicago's leisure class
and. it was only a few years ago.
Fashionable country clubs, accessible
only to owners of automobiles, held
all the links around the Windy City
and the average bookkeeper or store
clerk knew nothing of the game save
what he read in his newspaper.
All that has been changed. Jack
son Park has two cOurses-one of
nine and the other of eighteen holes
Lincoln Park is to have public links
next year and other recreation
grounds may be provided with cour-
ses if the park commissioners are
successful in negotiating for addi-
tional land
To get an idea of the extent 80
which Chicago has taken to golfing
it is only necessary to spend Satur-
day night at the golfers shelter in
Jackson Park-a night running INTO
the early hours Of Sunday

That San Diego is destined to have

four of their men. The constitutional
lists are said to have been forced to
cross the Colorado river, passing over

Lajero says he would have easily cap
tured or killed the entire enemy, eX-
cept that his men were afoot and the
rebels were mounted and were able 20
get away. He feels that he has
crushed the uprising entirely. Two
prisoners were brought in with the
federals who were thought to have
been associated with the insurgents,
but who have been identified as Amer

lion, and they have been liberated.
The report that Lajero's men were
sick and unable to travel as the result
of drinking impure water is disproved
by the return Of the troop as well as
