marshes, as yet not single death OF
fishermen from Biloxi, Pass Christian
or Bay st. Louis in the marshes has
been reported. AS well as it is posi-
BILE to estimate, there are twenty-five
or thirty gulf coast people unaccount-
ed for in the marshes. The greatest
number of the coast fishing fleets
which went to the marshes have re-
turned, or the crews of these boats,
but there are still a number who have
not been seen or heard from since the
hurricane swept over the gulf.
1t is for the purpose of searching
out the missing fishermen and pro-
viding for their needs as we'll as to
bring them home that the relief ex
peditions have ben sent out. Wherev
er possible the bodies of those who
have lost their lives will be brought
back to the coast
In the Louisiana marshes there are
forty or fifty disabled schooners, and
! if these are sufficiently seaworthy
they will be brought back, but it is
probable that another expedition will
go to the marshes later for that pur.
pose.
The gulf coast country is assuming
normal condition for the first time
since the hurricane, the main inter

al aid with Congressman B. P. Harri-
son and Senators John Sharp Williams
and James X. Vardaman. The purpose
of this effort is more particularly to
establish signal stations on the gulf.
Damage Estimates Grow.
Citizens here are now beginning to
more accurately figure out the costs |
of the recent hurricane. and the gen
eral opinion is that so far as the ter.
ritory between Ocean Springs and Bay
st. Louis is concerned it will easily
reach 100000. The damage to the
beach between Ocean Springs and
Bay st. Louis, which, for the most
part, is confined to the towns of ocean
Springs, Biloxi, Gulfport, Pass Christi
an and Bay st. Louis, is estimated at
$150,000. The damage to canning
plants at Biloxi Pass Christian, Ocean
Springs and Bay st. Louis is estimated
at $4,000. This damage is for the
most part confined to Bay st. Louis
and Biloxi, with probably $4,000 at
Ocean Springs. The damage to resi-
dences especially in Bay st. Louis and
Pass Christian, is estimated at from
$4,000 to $75,000 while the remain
ing part of the 100000 is damage suf-
fered by the Gulfport and Mississippi
Coast Traction Co., and the L. & N.
railroad.
Federal Aid Sought.
DIR. H. M. Folkes, one of the leading
business men of Southern Mississippi
as we'll as physician, is in favor OF
joint action on the part of various
commercial bodies of the coast and
the boards of supervisors as well as
the officials of the Gulfport& Missis-
sippi Coast Traction Co., toward Sc
curing from the government the best
engineering experts to devise the
most acceptable method for protecting
the beach front.
DR.. Folkes' suggestion has been the
most tangible and practicable of any
yet offered.
In the efforts that will be put forth
by senatorial and congressional repre-
sentatives on behalf of the gulf coast
it is likely that the government viii
be asked to install signal and wireless
stations at important shipping points.

mentioned in connection with the
place. His firm stand for the strict
enforcement of the law as citizen
and official has given him strong

GEORGE D. coNNoR

The death OF George ID. Con-
nor at his Battle Greek home
yesterday is causing an universal
expression of regret among horse
men. Mr.. Conner has been an
important factor in Michigan
harness racing for a score OF
years. For the past few years
he has had charge OF the Blue
Ribbon meetings in Detroit as
secretary of the Detroit Driving
club. Many good things can be
said atdut him. but perhaps the
best idea of his sterling worth to
the harness game can be best
expressed by recalling that he
was continually and successfully
seeking to make the sport more
attractive, particularly TO the lay
patron. His head was always
full OF ideas for improvements.
and many of his innovations
found much favor with racing
authorities.
