safe. The water in the streets is reced-
ing and the city has been saved from
the terrific gulf storm by the new sea
wall, a wireless message from the Texas
City stated today.
1t is estima ed that 100000 damage
was done by the storm.
Five persons perished, according to
early estimates.
Two huge fires were raging in the
city, the wireless declared, monopolizing
the attention Of every available fireman.
The United States transport McClel-
Ian is reported to have been damaged
by being ripped from its mooring.
An automobile carrying refugees from
Galveston arrived here today, They
said the waters which covered the
streets of the city were receding when
they left yesterday and that the wind
was then blowing less than 30 miles an
hour. Numerous crafts in the harbor
were destroyed by the storm, but none
were large vessels, they reported.

Georgians Are Indignant
OUer Brutal Treatment
of Frank By Lynchers

with manacled hands, the body of Leo
NJ Frank today swung from a tree on
the outskirts of Marietta, 'he home Of
Mary Phagan, the little factory girl
he was alleged to have murdered. With
this horrible picture in mind and the
thought Of Frank Is widow, stricken
with grief and horror, Atlanta turned
in revulsion from the horrible work Of
a mob Of 90 men, who dragged the
noted prisoner fam the state. farm at
Milledgeyille last night.
Enemies Are Indignant,
Even those who were most bitter in
their denuncation Of former Governor
Slaton when he commuted Frank Is
death sentence TO life Imprisonment,
cried for vengeance against the men
who spirited Frank away in an auto.
mobile after dragging him by the heels
from the prison and hanged him.
Criticism Of the Miledgeville prison OF
ficials is particularly bitter. They per.
mitted Frank TO be carried away with.
out striking a blow and with scarcely
word in defense Of their ward.
Some Reyel in Blood.
While one element Of the citizens Of
Georgia denounced the lynching of
Frank and demanded that every means
be taken to apprehend the men respon-
sible for his death, another reveled in
the state 5 carnival Of blood. All morn.
ing long, following the discovery of
frapk' s body at O'Clock, IL danged
from the tree to which he was hanged.
The word spread and soon all roads
leading to the scene were clogged and
made well nigh impassable by the
stream Of automobiles carrying curios.
ity seekers bent on viewing the ghastly
spectacle. BY II O'Clock II was est /.
mated 5000 persons were gathered
about the tree. The body could not
be removed because the sheriff could
not be found and the coroner said he
bad no authority to take charge Of
the corpse.
The treatment accorded Frank before
he was killed increased the Indignation
aroused by the lyncaing IL such d thing
Is possible.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 17.-Means OF
communication with Galveston had moi
been re-established early today, and the
extent of the damage done by the hur.
ricane which swept the gulf last night
is still unknown here. Galveston spent
the night in total darkness and today
was cut off from all telegraph, tele.
phone aud railroad communication,
According to last reports received.
1000 of the persons whose homes are
located along the shore, have moved
INTO the interior and hundreds have
started in the direction Of Houston The
reports, still very meagre, make no
mention Of casualties or the extent Of
the damage done by the mile gale
that lashed the gulf coast all night.
A wireless received at Brownsville
Texas, from the transport Buford at
Galveston, said several ships had over.
turned in the harbor. After the mes.
sage was received, further efforts to qet
in touch with the stricken city Nv
failed.

giant causeway which was constructed
to prevent the repetition of the dis.
