BY UNITED PRESS.

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug. 1s.--Gov.
Harris will take personal charge of
the investigation into all the cir
'cumstances OF the Frank lynching.
It was announced today at the exec
utive ofices here.
The governor was understood to
be far from satisfied with the expla.
nation given by members OF the
state prison board and officials at
the Milledgeville prison farm that
the farm warden. superintendent
and their guards were so Ill prepar.
cd that they were powerless to re-
sist the lynchers. He was quoted
a. saying that. In view of repeated
threats that the place would be
raided and Frank taken from his
custodians and lynched, all prepara-
tions ought to have been made ana
the lack Of them was objectionable.
The executive was also under
stood to be much incensed at the
weakness OF the Atlanta police In
yielding to the demand Of the thronE
In Atlanta that they be permitted to
view the body and exposing It for
thousands to see In Q local under
taking establishment.
There is. of course. an element
throughout the state which con-
dones tie lynching, but the better
class OF people are open In the ex-
preston Of their opinion. not only
that the affair was q frightful out.
rage. but that the authorities. wher.
ever they figured In the case. made
an abominable showing. Judge Nor
ris. OF Marietta, who saved Franks
body from mutllation and succeeded
in getting II to Atlanta. was practi-
cally the only person spoken of as
having behaved creditably In con-
nection with the incident.
Franks corpse. In his widows
charge, was on Its way to Brooklyn
today for burial.

SEA WALL SAVES
GALVESTON
By UNITED PRESS.

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 1S.--Rail.
road men reaching Temple, Texas,
from Houston over the Santa Re. re-
port great damage in the latter city
as the result of yesterdays storm.
Hundreds of buildings have been uh-
rooted and many completely de-
stroyed, they said. Electric and gas
plants are said to be out of COM
mission and the entire telephone
system paralyxed.
From Houston TO Rosenberg the
whole country is devastated and Is
under from two to four feet OF wa
ter, according to the railroad men.
They said they heard the damage In
Houston alone was estimated at $5.-
100000.
The storm attained its full force
in Dallas last night, and there was
still considerable wind and rain this
morning. The damage was compar.
atively light. Waco and Austin are
other cities that suffered from the
storm.
Wire communication with Calves
ton. Houston and other gulf points
is still cut OF and cannot be re-
newed for several days.
II was considered remarkable that
there should be no loss OF life in
Galveston after the wind, the flood
and the fres which resulted. II
was believed that reports Of no loss
OF life were too optimistic. Other
reports OF at least several persons
killed were given more credence
here. Two or three lives were lost
In the echo Of the storm that swept
Galveston.
II was believed here and AZ other
points that the greatest damage was
done to shipping and tc property
along the Islands sea wall The
waves are said to have hurled small
craft up on shore. IL was believed
the new sea wall was sll that saved
the city from another disaster like
that OF 1900.
