FOURTEEN DEAD
AT GALVESTON
AND FINANCIAL
LOSS $15,oo0,ooo

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 1s.-Cheering
news was brought to this city tonight
in a message that was flashed to thou
sands of anxious persons who had
friends and relatives in the storm
,, stricken city Of Galveston-"Only IA
dead in Galveston"
Galveston has undergone the severest
storm nthe annals Of the Gulf of Mex
leo and has emergered battered and
sorely burdened with financial losses,
but saved from heavy toll OF death
by it's gigantic sea wall.
The water mains leading to the
city's supply we'll at Alta Iona. Is
miles over on the mainland have been
broken and the available supply is fast
diminishing, adding to the discomfort
Of the city.
The first messenger from the island
to the mainland reached Houston to-
day, bringing a summary Of the re-
suits Of the storm which began Mon
day afternoon and ragged with unabat-
ed f1erceness until dawn Tuesday.
A thousand feet Of the sea wall,
which skirts the southern side Of the
city has been torn away and the
causway which connects Galveston
with the outside world has been cut
in two at the draw. Three fires have
done great damage and the city is
without adequate water supply.
Those attempting to estimate the fl
nancial loss the city has undergone in
this storm say that it will equal that of
the 1900 storm, which was estimated at
$15, 100000
City Under Martial Law
The mayor proclaimed the city under
martial law and after survey Of the
losses announced that Galveston would
not call on other communities for aid.
The surprisingly low toll is due prob
ably to the lesson Of 1900. The popula-
ton Monday night sought refuge in
the stronger buildings of the city,
whereas In the disastrous storm Of Il
years ago, the residents remained in
their homes, feeling secure against the
gale which took the lives of 5000.
Work Of Re. establishment
How Galveston can mend its water
mains and re-establish traffic across
the causway in time to prevent more
acute suffering are problems for engi-
neers. The railroads running into the
city have moved all available men
and machinery from North Texas into
the storm zone, penetrating it as fast
as human toll can advance the wreck
ing trains, but this progress is slow.

Josephine Peters was q little girl
who had about everything a little girl
ten years old could wish for. Her
father was rich man and she was an
only child and while she was not sell
fish she had very little chance to
think OF others, she was so well cared
for herself.
Her uncle John was very fond Of
her and sent for her birthday the
money for pony and cart. Joseph
ine lived In large city and he wanted
her to select Just the cart she
wanted.
The day after she received the
money she was riding in her fathers
auto through a street where the very
poor children lived. as 1t was q short
way to the place her mother was
going.

children on the steps and on the
street. why do these children stay In

PIRATES IN CHINESE WATERS
Freebootsr. Extend their Operations
to Land Expeditions, and Frs-
a. quentIy Loot Villages.

A favorite form of freebooting in
Chinese waters takes the form OF
river piracies. The pirates themselves
are, unlike their deep-water outlaw
brethren, more Of the jackai type,
sinking, cowardly, but still murder
ous and deadly whenever they fall in
with unarmed parties. They infest the
shallow rivera, creeks and canals
which cut in from the China coast.
The big junks. in use by the deep
sea freebooters, are of no earthly good
in shallow waters. and SO the river
robbers make use OF light-draft craft
known locally as fast crabs" and
"scrambling dragons" The West river
near Canton is a fayor:te ground for
these shaliow-water freebooters. al
though the great Yangtse-Kiang river
is also infested with them.
In their little craft they navigate
without trouble over the shadows and
rapids inland as far as Chungking.
which is more than 1000 miles from
the coast, and instead Of preying upon
the merchant ships and steamers OF
the deep, they loot villages. murder
travellers, massacre white concession
aires and cause untold trouble to the
missionaries. OF whom there are many
huadreds in this part of inland China.
And it is against these river pirates
particularly that the activities OF the
little Palos and Monocacy will sS ~
rected.

and Japan maintained lieat.draft river
boats for use against the pirates and
now the United States follows their
example. China, too will soon add sew
eral vessels of similar type to her
service.
During the last four years several
citizens OF the United States have been
murdered by Chinese pirates.

the mikado and later for represen-

And 1t was after the great victory
