SECRETARY M'ADOO TO DEPOSIT $30,00o,o00 IN FEDERAL RE-
 SERVE BANKS.
RE-DISCOUNT COTTON LOANS
The Announcement Came at the Close of Days Speculation in Official Circles as to the Nature of the
 Steps to Be Taken.

Washington. - Treasury officials made public an announcement by Sec retary McAdoo that as result of the allies action in putting cotton on the contraband list he would, if necessary, deposit S3O,00O,OOO or more in gold in the federal reserve banks at Atlanta, Dallas and Richmond, to enable the reserve banks to re-discount loans on cotton secured by warehouse receipts made by national banks and state banks belonging to the federal reserve system.
 The gold would be deposited tempo rarily, at least, without interest charge. If it should appear that the object could be accomplished with greater efficiency thereby, the depos- it's would be made directly with na- tional banks that would agree to lend the money on cotton at a rate not to exceed per cent.
 Secretary McAdoo authorized the announcement from his summer home at North Haven, Me. It came at the close of day of speculation in off, cial circles as to the nature of steps which the entente powers have indi- cated they will take to uphold the cot ton market in the face of their contra band order.

Judge A. J. Walls of Lonoke Coun ty, United States marshal for the Eastern Arkansas District, has tn- formed his friends that he will let his intentions relative to his guberna- torial candidacy be known during the next two or three weeks.
 Judge Walls has attended number of barbecues and picnics during the past three or four weeks. appearing on the same platform with the avow- ed candidates for governor.
 His candidacy would very likely have an important bearing on the gu- bernatorial situation, as it would in- ject one or two issues that would otherwise be eliminated if he were not Q candidate.
 Judge Walls was manager for Sena- tor Joe T. Robinson during that gen. tleman's gubernatorial campaign, and had charge of the senator's interests during the brief campaign for United States senator to succeed the late Jeff Davis.

PROPERTY LOSS RUNS INTO THE MiLLlONS-DEATH LIST CROW lNG-GALVESTON BEARS THE
 BRUNT-SEA WALL SAVES CITY
COTTON GROWERS SUFFER
 AN ENORMOUS CROP LOSS
Estimated That 25 Per Cent of the Crops of Central Texas Destroyed- Many Place Loss at Millions of DoIIars"-Oi Fields Suffered.

Galveston, TeXas.-Stormswept and battered, with loss of only lives, Galveston emerged from one of the most severe storms known in the his tory of the Gulf of Mexico. However, about 500 houses have been crushed
 The 14 lost their lives in an at tempt to reach the Fremont Hotel during the height of the storm. Sev- eral thousand persons were quar- tered in that hotel.
 One thousand feet of the sea wall has been washed out.
 The fire loss has been great.
 Three bath houses and 400 resi- dences on the bay front were crushed. The water made a clean sweep along the boulevard
 The storm reached it's height when dts velocity was 92 miles.
 Martial law was declared. The mayor issued a statement that out side aid will not be needed.
 Those who attempt to estimate the financial loss the city has sustained say that it will equal that of the 1900 storm, which was estimated at S15,- 100000.
 For more than AS hours Galveston was wholly out of touch with the world, except for few feeble wireless messages which told but scraps of news.
 The loss of life along the Texas coast was estimated at 100 people. with several small towns to be heard from.
 Property loss estimates were vague except in few instances. Houston, Texas City and Port Arthur advices gave fairly definite figures for those places, but most of the other towns reported in such phases as consider .1.xt1Il wlte1t yS1u1 ss,ls-r, H.t J,g n t1ofo, yc1y neaVy anu not yet eS- timated."
 In addition there was an enormous loss to cotton growers, some esti- mates stating that 25 per cent of the crop of central Texas was destroyed, and placing the loss at millions of dollars" The oil fields suffered severe ly and it is probable 1t will take S5O0,- GOO to replace destroyed derricks, re- cap unroofed tanks and repair dam- aged machinery.
 That the death list did not ap- proach that of the storm of 1900 was due to two causes-the strength Of the Galveston sea wall and the haste with which residents of the coastal plains sought places of refuge as the result of warnings of the government,
 Galveston Storm of 1900.
 Galveston, on September 8, 1900, was the scene of the most terrible tragedy resulting from purely natural causes in the history of the American continent. A West Indian hurricane, lasting IS hours-the wind veering in every direction and reaching a maxi mum velocity estimated at 135 miles an hour-swept over the city.
