Dallas, Texas, Aug. 16.-T-e full ef-
feet of the West Indian hurricane
which passed through the Yucatan
channel Yesterday was felt along the
Texas gulf coast late today and tonight,
tie wind reaching a velocity of 70
miles an hour. Up to late hour no
loss of life or serious damage to prop
erty or shipping had been reported.
Galveston reported the sea wall was
withstanding the force of the wind
lashed waters and with tie exception
of minor damage as the result of the
flooding Of the streets on the bay side
of the city, the property loss was neg
ligible up to II o'clock.
The majority of the residents at
Sabine and Sabine Pass as well as TIE
numerous summer camps and resorts
along the coast moved to places OF
safety last night and early today. At
Galveston residents along tae beach
abandoned their homes and spent the
night in more secure buildings in the
business districts.
The towns of Rollo River, Caplan
and Boliver were reported under wa
ter. All of taese towns were deserted
last night.
Late tonight a newspaper CORES
pondent attempted to go from Port
Arthur to Sabine in an automobile,
but was forced to abandon the trip.
'The wind would have blown our
machine away if we had continued tie
trip" he declared.
Efforts to charter a boat to reach
Sabine were futile, sailors refusing to
make the trip.
Wire communication with Calves
ton, which was maintained from Hous-
ton early tonight, was cut off at 10
o'clock, wnen the last of the wires
between the two cities failed. Later
reports received by wireless at
Brownsville from the United States
transport Buford in Galveston has re-
ported several vessels overturned by
the storm. A ten-foot tide was re-
ported.
Efforts to communicate with the
Texas City army headquarters across
the bay from Galveston tonight were
futile.
Communication with Beaumont,
Texas, also was cut off Shortly after
10 o'clock and it was believed by the
weather observer at Houston that the
hurricane had left the gulf and had
struck the mainland between that city
and Galveston.
A train was started from Houston
over the Southern Pacific railway to-
night in an effort to reach Galveston.
At last reports the causeway between
Galveston and the mainland was in
tact and it was believed that the train
would be able to cross early in the
morning.

ASK RESIDENTS TO HELP
IN WAR ON HOUSE FLIES

Owing to the unusually large num-
Der of fly breeding places which have
been reported to the Board of Health,
and as the fly is now conceded to be a
dangerous insect because of it's filthy
and disease carrying habits, the Board
of Health is requesting every house
holder and horse owner to assist in the
work of destroying the eggs.
This may be accomplished by treat
ing the refuse piles or garbage with
borax.
This substance is sold by all groeers
and costs fifteen cents per pound, but
it may be bought in wholesale quanti-
ties for much less. The powder should
be sprinkled over or sifted over the
material and carefully around the edges
after which water should be sprinkled
on it.
One-half pound of borax will destroy
all the fly eggs and maggots in eight
bushels of refuse.
This method of destroying fly eggs
and magots is recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture after extended experiments with
a large number of chemicals and dis
infectants. All but two of these proved
to be unsatisfactory. The two were
borax and calcined calminite. Borax
is recommended on account of its eff
cheney, cheapness and availability.

Barnet Fagin Ends Life With
Poison, After Trying Gas,
Drowning and Hanging.

After four attempts to end his life,
Barnet Fagin was found dead this
morning in his home at 375 New
street, about six hours after he had
drained the contents of four ounce
bottle of carbolic acid. Following
domestic alterations, Fagin tried
several weeks ago to commit suicide
by asphyxiation; during the forepart
of last week he tried to drown him
self off the bluff" Saturday his
neighbors prevented him from hang
ing himself, and this morning he was
at last successful in taking his life,
through the means of poison.
Fagin, who was of Jewish extrac-
ton, has been in the employ of Her
man Ellis, a local dealer in scrap
iron, as a driver. He has been drink
ing heavily of late and this, coupled
with domestic troubles, is believed
to have prompted him to commit
suicide.
This morning at about 1880
o'clock Mrs. Anne Taborosky, a resi-
dent of the adjoining house, went in
the house to ascertain if anything
was wrongs Mrs. Taborosky, the
same woman who had witnessed at

INITIAL STEPS TO
RAISE PAY OF COPS
Resolution for Vote at Next
Election is Referred to Alder
manic Judiciary Committee.

Initial steps to have the Board OF
Aldermen adopt provision of the
laws of 1914 under which the sala-
ries of police officers can be raised,
were taken at a meeting of the Board
of Aldermen last night. A resolution
to have the council refer the subject
TO the voters at the next general
election, was received, read and re-
ferred to the committee on Judiciary
Patrolman William Hartmann ana
William Calvin were present al the
meeting.
Alderman F. William Hilker in
troduced the resolution in question.
1t was to have the laws of 1914, con-
cerning provision for increasing the
pay of policemen, adopted, so that
the people could decide by ballot at
the next general election as to
whether the police officers should re-
ceiye an increase in pay, or the same
pay as at present should prevail. A
motion to adopt was made by MI.
Hilker, and seconded by Alderman
William C. Wilson. Upon motion of
Alderman Chris Jorgensen, seconded
by Alderman John w. Kelly, the
measure was referred to the commit
tee on Judiciary Mr. Wilson
thereupon said he hoped that 1t
would be acted upon as soon as pos
sible.
The main point of Democratic
members in having definite action on
the resolution deferred, was held to
be ignorance of the laws concern
ing the subject. They desired to
have time to investigate the laws,
procure legal opinions and consider
the subject first. it appeared.
