REASONS FOR LOW TOLL

That the death list did not
approach that of the storm Of
1900 was due to the two causes
The strength Of the Calves
ton sea wall and the haste with
which residents of the coastal
plains sought places of refuge in
conformity with the warnings
of the government weather bu-
reau. Galveston as in 1900,
bore the brunt of the storm, but
this year was bulwarked against
the elements. The storm reach
ed its height there at 3 A. M.
Tuesday when the wind rose to
90 miles an hour. This was 8
miles an hour more than the
weather bureau recorded for the
1900 visitation.
