STORM WRECKS
TEXASCAMPS
New York GuardLOSeS
Tents and Many Are
ShelterleSS.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. lS.-Terrific
rains driven in from the Gulf on
West Indian hurricane have battered
down tents of the United States troops
at Brownsville and have caught the
New York militia, stationed at Nc
Allen, Pharr and Mission.
Fort Sam Houston, at II p. m, re-
ported the following message from
field wireless station erected at Nc
Allen, Tex, via the big radio at
Brownsville:
"Half of New York National Guards
mems tents down, and nearly that
many at Llano, Grande, Mercedes and
Mission. Thirty thousand soldiers
sleeping in public buildings. Four and
one-half inches of rain fell here. There
is a lull now, but new storm is reported
coming from the east"
Wire communication with all the
border camps has been delayed by the
wind and downpour, and only the most
meagre accounts have dribbled IN by
wireless of the havoc worked az
Brownsville. IL is known that the
troops have sought refuge IN the CITY
Hall and other public buildings and
that the storm is continuing with full
fury.
For several days the hurricane has
been brewing over the Gulf. Shortly
after reville this morning it drove In
upon the troops, who, by orders of Cen
eral Funston, had already moved their
wounded from tents to more secure
quarters.
Storm Less Violent.
General Funston at o'clock to-
night received wireless message from
General James Parker, at Brownsville,
in which he said that the storm at
that hour seemed to be abating and
that he thought perhaps the worst was
over. The wind was then reported at
fifty miles an hour.
General Parker later wirelessed that
he had ordered temporary abandonment
of all military encampments. Inc
wooden buildings of the Iowa camp
were blown down, the Illinois camp
was under water, the horses OF the
Illinois guard suffered greatly from ex-
posure, much equipment had been lost
and all roads were impossible.
Advices from Dallas say that word
was received there from Corpus
Christi, however, the gale had carried
almost everything movable before 1t.
In its wake it had left demolished sum-
mer cottages along the beach front
here, thousands of dollars damage to
buildings in the business section and a
heavy sea running in Corpus Christi
Bay.
Waves whipped over the beach in the
northern section of the city, beaching
small craft and carrying up on tho
shore debris from a score of docks and
small bathing pavilions. Lloyd's Pier
one of tne largest pleasure resorts on
that section of the coast, which juts out
over the water 1000 feet, had been al
most completely demolished at s
o'clock tonight.
One Structure Left.
The only portion that remained was
p two story structure adjoining the
shore.
So far as could be learned there has
been no loss of life. Ample warning
Of the storm, il was said, had been
given all residents.
No further word had been received
of the fate of the crew OF the steamer
Pilot Boy, which was sunk in the Gulf
of Mexico to-day in the storm. IL
was reported, however, that three men
of the crew Of twelve had been washed
ashore at Port Arkansas. twenty miles
from here.

Objects to Exemption
From Discipline of
Retired Officers.
ATTACK ON WOOD
WAS THREATENED
Measure Now in House to
Suit Mr.. Wilson's
Views.
TFron The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Aug. 1s.-Presideh'
Wilson shocked Congress to-day py
vetoing the army appropriation Dill, on
which Senators and Representatives
have been struggling since early spring
The Presidents objections were not
70 the bill as a whole. but to COM
naratively minor provision exemptihs
retired army officers from discipiihe
ub;le on the retired list for their Ut
,erances or acts. In his message re-
turning the measure to Congress .h.
President declared that he regarded
this provision not only as suoversiVe
OF authority, but unconstitutional De-
cause it limited the Executives controi
over the army and navy, supremacy
vested in him by the Constitution.
Chairman Hay of the Military Com
mittee Immediately reintroduced the
measure, but without the section oo-
iected to by the President. he oo-
tanned unanimous consent to bring the
bill before the House on Tuesday.
Revision Left Out.
As presented by Chairman Hay, the
army bill no longer carries the revision
of the Articles Of War which Presi-
dent Wilson and army men have urged
as necessary. 1t was to one OF tnese
amendments that the President took
exception.
Chairman Chamberlain of the Senate
Military Committee announced that
the Senate would reinsert the revision
approved by the President and the War
Department but stricken out in the
House, and that the situation had re-
solved itself into a contest between the
Senate and House on one hand and Mr..
Hay on the other.
The tangle threatens to delay the
adjournment of Congress, and, incl
dentally, completion of the prepared
ness programme, as we'll as to hold up
appropriations for the army increases
and all the extra expenses involved in
the Mexican service.
To Protect an Officer.
Administration officials were partic-
ularly surprised at the Presidents ac-
ton, because on previous occasions he
has declared that he was unable to
veto bills merely because they con-
tanned sections or riders that he dis
approved. Rather than hold up meas
ures he has thus permitted many items
to which he objected to go through.
Chairman Hay incorporated the pro-
vision cxemrting retired officers from
discipline by the department to pro-
tect a certain officer, it is understood,
who has prepared propaganda directed
against the present army staff. A
book awaiting publication is also un-
derstood to make General Leonard
Wood. commander of the Department
of the East, a special target.
The Presid .nt's veto, one of the few
he has exercised, marks another stage
in the long fight between the army and
Chairman Hay. The army charges Hay
with the defeat of the continental
army and universal training plans, and
the substitution of National Guard re-
organization, which it opposed. Army
officers also say certain features of the
bill were injected in conference and

When the meeting of the execu-
tives and managers committee ended
tonight, one of the railroad presi-
dents summed up the status of the
case for the railroads as follows:
There is no change in the deter
mination of the railroads to insist
upon the maintenance of the prin-
ciple of arbitration, which they be
lieve to be at stake. They believe
that they should not be swerved from
this course by any coercion from a
strike threat or from other inhu-
ences."
President Wilson gave them to un-
derstand, however, that he is deter
mined to prevent a national railway
strike at any cost. He is resolved
to reach some agreement acceptable
to both. If both refuse to come to
terms, he said, he will submit the
entire situation to the public. If one
side accepts, as the case stands now,
ne will tell the public the facts and
let the people say where the blame
lies.
Presidents Ultimatum.
The ultimatum that President vii.
so~ is understood to have delivered
TO the railway heads came about in
this way; Hale Holden, president
of the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy,
spokesman for the executives, told
Mr.. Wilson that the railway heads
were willing to cooperate with him,
but that their duty was threefold,
first to the public, second to the great
interests for which they were trus-
tees, and third to the SO per cent Of
their employees not represented by
the four brotherhoods.
President Wilson is said to have
replied that the paramount interest
to be considered was that of l0O,-
100000 people in this country who
would be affected by general tie-up.
Then he added that although he was
opposed to government ownership Of
the country's transportation facili-
ties, there was very perceptible
movement in its favor supported by
certain element throughout the
land. He impressed upon the dele.
cation his belief that this sentiment
might get added impetus by a great
railway strike.
1t was also recalled to the execu.
tives by the President, according to
the version of the meeting which
gained credence tonight, that several
years ago France, facing a general
railroad strike, called the employees
to the colors and ordered them back
to their trains. This was mentioned
not as threat, but merely as a com.
ment on the situation here.
This version Of the afternoon
meeting with the President was de-
MED at the White House tonight.
Despite the denial il was asserted
from railroad sources that the report
was correct.
No one can tell tonight which end
of the stick the railroad heads wiR
