GALVESTON SUFFERS FROM
TROPICAL HURRICANE
BIG STORM ALONG GULF COAST

The tropical hurricane that swept
over southern Texas Monday even
ing carried destruction in its wake.
The docks and shipping interests
suffered greatly. At Galveston the
water stood three feet in the streets,
despite the huge sea walls. Houses
all along the water front were de-
stroyed, wires were down and the
city was in darkness. Many people
left the city and others took refuge
ON government boats. Farms on
the coastal plains suffered severe
damage and the property loss will
be Leavy. The loss of life so far re-
ported totals over 100. 1t is thought
that the damage will exceed that of
1900 when over fifty millions of dol
lars were swept away and hundreds
Of lives lost. The big sea walls
were also badly damaged.
