ATHLETIC CLUB

Director Day Says That Utah Has
Splendid Material, Which Is
undeveIoped

Salt Lake, Aug. 17.-Utah is great
ly in need of-an amateur athletic club
according TO Nv. r.. Day, director of
physical education in the public
schools of Salt Lake. According to
Mr.. Day few persons have made
suggestions of forming such club,
but no definite action has yet been
taken. The club. Mr.. Day says,
should embrace the entire state and
include the promising athletes in ev-
cry college, high school and town.
Virtually every city of size in the
county has such a club, and Utah is
perhaps the only state in the union
which has no central organization for
encouragement of athletics for big
meets as the recent Panama Pacific
coast exposition. All athletes enter

cal gymnesiums, universities or high

Mr.. Day further states that Utah
has some of the best athletes In the
country and some of the best materi-
al. Many promising athletes have re-
manned undeveloped because Of the
lack of an organization who might
rival the work of Richards, Raymond,
Larsen and others.
Such an organization Is needed not
so much for the men who belong to
gymnasiums or who have left school
and are no longer able to take gym
nasium exercises, needed TO keep
them in condition.
AS an advance of the lack OF initia-
tive in this state because OF the alb
sence of an athletic club, is the fact
that Raymond and Parry we're nearly

ISLAND CITY
SUFFERS MUCH
STORM DAMAGE
All Buildings on Galveston Water
Front Ruined as Result Of
Hurricane

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 17-Wire!ess
messages from Galveston gave today
the only direct news from that storm
stricken city. No definite news of
loss of life has been reported but the
desperate situation in which the citi-
zens of Galveston found themselves
was indicated vaguely by the state
ment in a late afternoon wireless
message that boats were taking per-
sons from buildings on the main
streets to the United States transport
Buford.
The tropical hurricane that swept
down island city yesterday extend
ed its devastation inland today, and
tonight wire communication was inn
possible beyond Waco, Beaumont.
Houston, Taylor, Temple and other
cities of southeast Texas were
thought to have been hit by the storm
last reports from those places telling
of unroofed buildings, uprooted trees
and other damage.
Storm subsiding at Galveston
Although latest reports from Gal
weston by wireless indicated that the
storm was subsiding there and that
the water had started to drain slow
ly from the streets, there was no
prospect that wire communication
might be restored for several days.
Hundreds of miles of wires are down.
The army transport Buford's wire
/ less outfit was the sole means Of conf
munlcation between Galveston and
the outside world, Her companion
ship, the Mcclellan, was high and dry
half a mile inland.
| The greatest damage in Galveston,
judging from the meagre wireless
messages and the tales of such refu.
gees as left before the full fury of
the hurricane was felt on the and,
occurred in districts fronting the sea.
/ All buildings on the water front were
I ruined, this circumstance being al
! most repetition of the citys expert
| ence in previous storms.
Vessels Tossed on Land
Vessels caught in the harbor also
suffered heavily some being destroy
ed while others were badly damaged.
The giant waves thrown up by the
storm carried large and small craft
alike far beyond the usual beach
boundaries and the marine salvage
work probably will be complicated by
the necessity OF getting many boats
back to their own element.
1t will be weeks, probably, before
the full extent of the property dam
age can be given accurately. Farms
on the coastal plains undoubtedly suf-
fered severe damage and many viii
lagos in the path OF the storm have
not been heard from SINCE early yes
terday.
At Waco, 200 miles northwest Of
Galveston, the barometer was falling
early tonight and gale was blowing
with undated force. This indicated
that the storm center was approach
ing that part of the state and the eX-
periences of Taylor and Temple bore
out that conjecture.

PRESIDENT BUSH
NAMED RECEIVER
Missouri Pacific Agrees to Action In
Order to Facilitate Re-
organization

st. Louis, Aug. II benjamin +.
Bush, president and chairmen of the
board of directors of the Missouri
Pacific and of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railways was
appointed sole receiver OF the two
lines by Circuit Judge Adams at
Woodstock, VT. today.
Edward J. White. general solicitor
Of the Missouri Pacific system. was
appointed counsel to the receiver,
and George C.. Hitchcock, a st. Louis
attorney, was appointed master.
II developed that the receivership
proceedings were agreed to because
OF the refusal of some of the secur-
/ ity holders to agree to the reorganiz-
alton plan recently announced. It is
hoped under the protection OF the
federal court, to bring about reor-
ganization. the properties meanwhile
being conserved under the admins.
tration Of single receiver, familiar
with the operation of the railroads.
President Bush Is also president Of
the Denver & Rio Grande and presi-
dent Of the Western Pacific. now In
the hands of q receiver.
The answer of the Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain railways filed to-
/ day, says that the roads admit each
and every allegation In the complain
ants petition, and join in the prayer
of the complainant and consent to the
appointment of receiver to preserve
/ the unity of the system of railways
and to protect and preserve the cor.
porate franchises, and to protect the
property from being sacrificed under
any proceeding which can or may be
taken which would prejudice or sac.
riiice the same.
Directors Issue Statement
New York, Aug. 1.-THE follow.
ing statement was issued here today
by the Missouri Pacific board Of di.
rectors, following receipt of the news
frop st. Louis that receiver had
been appointed:
when the plan of readjustment
dated July /, 1915, was announced 1t
was hoped by the boards of directors
of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron
Mountain companies that securities
would be promptly deposited in suf'
ficient amounts to insure success OF
the plan and to thereby make II pos
sible to secure adequate financial as
sistance to meet the interest pay
ment of September |, 1915.
Reports of depositaries under the
plan show, however, that the deposits
of securities are wholly insufficient
for this purpose.
Neither the Missouri Pacific moi
the Iron Mountain company is in pc
sition to obtain the funds required &c
meet its financial requirements of the
near future. Accordingly and in or
der to preserve the assets OF the two
companies and in the interest OF
their creditors and stockholders, the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
have consented to the appointment Of
a receiver and are pleased that the
court has appointed Mr.. Bush"
The time for holders of Missouri
Pacific securities favoring the reor
ganization plan to deposit their sc
ourities has been extended to Octob
er 10, according to an announcement
made on behalf Of the readjustmen
