Galveston Storm Reminds U.s. Did You Ever Hear of ndano Dead Cit

Reading of the disastrous storm at Galveston,
and its attendant loss of life and property, re-
calls the fate of lost city.
In the early seventies Indianola, on the gulf,
in Calhoun county, Texas, was metropolis of
some 10000 people,
Indianola, by many, was considered the COM
ing port of the Texas coast. Even at that time
its exports and imports were of considerable vol
ume. 1t was city of lovely homes and an enter

away until there was but single soul, an old
gray haired negro, Uncle Payton, faithful unto
the last. Surrounded by crumbling walls and
abandoned homes, he stayed on until the grim
reaper took him too.
Today, not vestige of the once proud Indian
ola, county seat of Calhoun county, and "mis-
tress of the gulf" remains save heaps of weed
covered ruins. The tabled Isle of Atlantis did
not more completely vanish. And this tale is not
a fable but historic fact.

In 1876, we believe it was, disastrous storm
swept the Gulf Coast. The loss of life and dam
age to property was large. Thousands of it's
inhabitants deserted Indianola and moved in

B|LL|N YACHT.
RAMS STEAMER
KILLS TWO
Strange Accident in Fog on Long
Island Sound
SEVERAL OTHERS WERE INJURED
Bow of Yacht Crashed Into Dining
Saloon of Passenger Steamer
Bunker Hill

New York, June 14.-In collision
between the passenger steamer Bunk
er Hill and C. E. G. Billings steam
yacht Vanadis in dense fog off
Hunts Point on Long island sound
last night, George II. Kendrick of
Boston was killed and three persons
were injured. Both vessels were
badly damaged and, accompanied by
tugs, made for New York, where the
Bunker Hill arrived shortly before
midnight.
Mr.. Kendrick was killed in his
stateroom over the diningroom in
the crash between the yacht and the
Sound steamer, which left New York
early last night for Boston with
about $50 passengers on board. The
bow of the Vanadis penetrated the
side of the steamer, making hole
three feet above the water line abaft
the beas on the port side. Many of
the passengers were in the dining
room when the crash occurred and
the nose of the yacht jammed into
the room Part OF the ceiling crash
ed to the floor, furnishings We're
wrecked and excitement prevailed,
in the midst OF which two passengers
jumped overheard Both we're after
ward reported TO have been safely
picked up.
Besides the passengers who jump
ed overheard, one of the employees
on the boat was thrown into the
Sound by the impact OF the collision
and was picked up by the Vanadis,
The excitement on board the Bunk
er Hill was short lived and at no
time amounted to panic, passengers
said. Capt W. T.. Holmes of the
Bunker Hill, on inspecting his steam
or after the crash, found her uninjur-
ed below the water line and decided
to put back at once for his dock.
Several nearby craft accompanied
the Bunker Hill toward New York,
but it soon appeared that she needed
no assistance and they dropped away,
the steamer keeping on alone.
The Bunker Hill, which is steam
er with accommodations for about
500 passengers, was reconstructed
several years ago to ply in place of
the steamers Yale and Harvard on
the New York-Boston route, when
those vessels were sent to the Pact
fic. The Vanadis is two-masted
steam screw vessel of 515 tons net,
249 feet in length and was built in
Glasgow in 1907. Mr.. Billings, her
owner is a widely-known horseman
1t was said at the Billings home at
New York last night that Mr.. and
Mrs. Billings had gone to their sum

was not known whether any men,

board the yacht at the time of the

= GERMAN TONE FRIENDLY
Papers Find Wilson Note to be
Reassuring


Berlin, June 10, (yia The Hague,)
Not since Italy's declaration of war
has any event caused such an editor
ial flow as has the American note
The Sunday newspapers contain col
umns OF comment, although theye are
few new viewpoints. The analysist's
editorials and many pricate conyersa-
tions with Germans, reveal that the
general German state of mind regard
ing the note is one of satisfaction
over its friendly tone and the pros
pect of resultant time-consuming
negotiations; belief in the improb-
ability of war; varying degrees hope
Of a satisfactory solution without
even a diplomatic break and an al
most passionate insistence that the
question of ammunition on the Lusi-
tania has everything to do with the
case.
There are also mixed emotions be-
cause President Wilson calls it inn
material, and this gives rise to a
repetition of all the old arguments
that Germany was forced to her pres
ent course because England broke
international laws first" Throughout
the opinions there is a reafirmation
that submarine warfare must and
will be continued unmodified in prin
ciple, until the purposes for which it
was started are achieved.
