SEA WALL SAVES CITY.
Complete Destruction Of Galveston
Averted by Protective Work.

Averted by Protective Work.
Dallas, Aug. 19.-With information
from Galveston and other points on
the southwest gulf coast slowly sift-
ing thru it seems early today that the
terrific tropical storm this week had
exacted only comparatively small
loss Of life and that the loss Of prop
erty in the city Of Galveston at least
was small as compared to the storm
Of 1900. The great two and half
million dollar sea wall seems to have
saved the city Of Galveston from even
a worse horror than that Of 1900. Ac-
cording to reports the total of lives
lost thruout the storm district Is less
than 200, altho some estimates say it
may reach 400.
/ The damage in Galveston this week.
based on measer reports, Is placed at
So, 100000. In 1900, 5000 were killed
and property loss reached $15.0O0.000.
Early reports placed the damage at
Galveston as high as $15,000.000, but
this was disproved by other advices
brought out by newspaper men and
other persons.
Dead at Other Points.
While a large part of the storm
area is yet to be heard from. the num-
ber of dead based on the best obtain
able information follows:

eEoRelANs APPROVE LYNcHlNe.
No Prospect Of Punishment Of Mob in
courfa of Cobb County

No Prospect Of Punishment Of Mob II
Courts Of Cobb County.
Marietta, Ca, Aug. 19.-Altho all
the world is ashamed Of Georgia and
denouncing the lynching Of Leo Frank
his murder will go unavenged by law
if it is to be punished in the county
where it was committed. No jury in
Cobb county would convict the MUIR
derers, no grand jury would indiot
them, no official would undertake to
prosecute them.
This is not to say that Cobb county
is terrorized; it is to say that the vast
majority Of it's people, even those who
deplore the lynching as a violation OF
law, believe that Frank got no more
than his deserts and that the mob
simply carried out the verdict of the
law after 1t had been arbitrarily set
aside by a governor who was the law
partner Of Franks lawyer.
Church Leaders in Party.
Lynching mobs are usually COM
posed Of riffraff, with few leaders
Of higher order; but this one con-
sisted of leading citizens in the COM
munity, men prominent in business
and social circles and even in church.
AAAuOl pay GU uO pdII tS IL uOSS
in most lynchings. The murder had
been planned for months and the plans
Of the conspirators contemplated its
carrying out on q night several weeks
ago. but the authorities learned of 1t
in some way and it was postponed un-
til last Monday.
These leading citizens are today TAX
ing their leading part in the city's
business and social affairs with no
sign upon them Of guilty consciences,
for they have none. Their consciences
approve them. and what they hear
from their fellow citizens wherever
they 60 adds to their self-approval,
for the city approves them.
Town Approves Deed.
While the whole nation rings with
their denunciation they are regarded
here not merely as men who can. plead
but as men who prevent
ed q miscarriage Of Justice and saved
the law from being set aside and
Knocked by q man who happened to
fill the governors chair. There are in
Marietta men who do not approve
their act because Of respect for the
forms of law, but even these believe
that the spirit of It was set at naught
by the governor and not one of these
men-who are few-would think Of re-
fusing to shake hands with one Of the
lynchers or Of introducing him to his
wife, or of revealing his identity to an
officer Of the law.
Elsewhere than In Marietta there is
much of the same sentiment, but there
is division. There are, but outside
Of Cobb county, men who fear the
growth Of the mob spirit after such a
dramatic and spectacular exhibition,
and would like to take measures to
curb it. Many Of them are in At
lanta.
Fear Only For State.
Many even Of these believe Frank
guilty and are concerned not with his
murder but with the future of the
state. They are considering the taxi
ing of steps to bring about the pun
of his slayers for that reason
alone, but they do not know what steps
to take.

QUESTIONS FOR MIR. GRAVES
 TO ANSWER

(From Railway and MarineNews)
 For the attention and proper ac- tion of Chief Forester Graves of the United States and theoretic con- servationists, the following impor- tant questions are propounded.
 Why does the report of Collector of Customs for Puget Sound Dis trict show that during the months of June, July, August and Septem- Der, 1915, exactly $353,441 worth of lumber were shipped to the Tongass and Chugach Forest Reserves of Alaska?
 Why was large proportion of this lumber billel to the Alaska Engineering Commission, engaged in constructing government railroad in Alaska through the Chugach For est Reserve?
 Why was large portion of this total shipped to ports located on the Tongass Forest Reserve when there arc several saw mills operating on The Tongass Reserve?
 Why should large proportion of this total be shipped to points in Prince William Sound, all of which are also only about 150 miles from sawmill located on Portage Bay!
 How can the excessive costs be explained covering the shipment of lumber to Alaska for government purposes, especially in relation to 'he heavy loss covered in the wreck and total loss of three lumber car goes!
 A total of s353,441 in four months is certainly an enormous total and if the Alaska timber had been used covering all these shipments making np the total, the various consignees in Alaska would have seved large sum and surely saving that sum in

THE ELPAso RETURNS

Mir. E. c. Howard came in with the El Paso yesterday from the Chickimen river. He reports that they left nothing undone in the search for the missing boys. The river and slough have been dragged and dynamited, and lines of hooks stretched across the river to catch anything that might be loosened up and started down with the current, but without result. There has been nothing further found on the beach or in the woods except few little things supposed to belong to De Costa, which appeared to have float ed out of the pilot house of the Frances R.
 MT. Howard says that great credit is due "Cultus" Johnson and his party of natives for the thorough ness and persistence of their work in the search.
 There is still quite large party working up there and it is hoped that the present good weather will continue for few days longer, as the river is falling rapidly and clear- ing so that they will soon be able to see the bottom.

PREPAREDNESS HAS NEVER
 PLUNGED NATION IN WAR
A War Expert So Declared
 Recently in San Francisco

TACOMA, Nov. 6-The United States has never entered war on ac- count of preparedness, said Dr.. James B. Bullitt of San Francisco, secretary of the Pacific Coast de- partment of the National Navy league, at the noon meeting of the Rotary club in the Tacoma hotel today.
 "In the war of 1872 the United States was so unprepared that a force of 6,500 British regular troops landed on American soil and burned our national capitol.
 "We won the Spanish-American war not because we were prepared, but because Spain was so grotes- Iuely unprepared.
 The problems of the United States will only begin after the European war is over. Events of the last 15 months have done little to convince us that the period of eternal peace is at hand. There are two classes of people in the United States who desire peace; those who talk it and those who propose adequate defenses to maintain it. There are two kinds of peace. The first is that which China has. Peace that is not found ed on righteousness and justice, no matter how great the cost, will not satisfy Americans"
