quite independent in her own way and
not afraid even in big city. She ar

FINDS TWO SONS LOST
 IN GALVESTON FLOOD
Texas Farmer Rejoices at Their Re-
 turn 18 Years After Storm.

BARTLETT, Texas, March S.-W. M. Cehand, a farmer near Bartlett, was reunited few days ago with his two sons, James and Rudolph. whom he had mourned as dead for sixteen years.
 The Sehand family was living in Galveston at the time of the great storm which swept over that city in September, 1900. When the flood that swept in from the Gulf struck their house it collapsed. Cehand managed to catch hold of piece of wreckage and clung to it for several hours. He was finally flung up on the mainland several miles from the site of his wrecked home.
 When his house went down Cehand caught a glimpse of his wife and two sons as the mountain of water swal- lowed them up. The two boys. then aged and years, respectively. wera holding each other in an embrace and Mrs. Cehand was endeavoring to reach them. That was the last he saw .f any member of his family until few days ago his two sons, now grown to young manhood. alighted from train at Bartlett.
 It appears now that the two boys were swept to a point on the main land remote from the spot where their father landed and were found by a party of rescuers and placed in the hands of Sisters of Charity who found them a home in a convent in a dis tant city. After remaining few years in the convent they were adopted by a family living in California.

WOMAN CHASED BY MAD COYOTE
Narrowly Escapes Rabid Animal
 Which Whips Two Dogs.

SPRAGUE, March 8.--By jumping two fences and running across a pas ture to a house on the Simas ranch, Mrs. Odin Jacobson barely escaped being bitten by a mad coyote. The animal started after Mrs. Jacobson on the road. She ran toward the ranch and reached the house just as the animal snapped the edge of her skirt. The coyote made several at tempts to get in at the door and re mained snarling about the house un- til attacked by two dogs and escaped after a long battle. Both dogs were bitten and were killed.
 An epidemic of rabies has broken out in Oregon and the animals are attacking livestock and several valu- able animals have been bitten. An attempt is being made to stop the spread of the disease but it has brok- en cut several times in new localities.

The captain of the Vanwe's reports that on her way to Londou several days ago she encountered a German submarine whose captain ordered the crew to take to the boats. The ship was then torpedoed and the submarine, seeing the smoke of another steamer in the distance. sub- merged. After tossing about all night the Vanwek crew sighted their own vessel and succeeded in boarding her once again and bringing her. after she had drifted considerably from her course, into New Haven.

ASKED TO COOPERATE
Secretary Authorizes Financial Insti-

for the Bond Offerings.

misunderstanding McAdOo tele-
graphed the entire list of 81, 513 nation
al and state banks and trust companies
in the United States, authorizing them
to receive subscriptions for the $1,000
100000 bond offering, enlisting their
cooperation, and requesting them to
telegraph a rough estimate of the
amount of bonds each would take for
itself and its patrons.
You can render an invaluable serv-
ice to your country" Mr.. McAdoo told
the banks, ''by receiving subscriptions
and cooperating with the federal re-
serve bank in your district"
Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations In
the country Mr.. McAdoo sent a tele-
gram in which he said:
1.-The amount of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
of the banks and bankers of the coun-
try will guarantee the success of the
undertaking."
The result of the first announcement
of the loan has been a deluge of sub
scriptiOns, aggregating many millions.
Most of these came in by wire to the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state in the Union was rep
resented.
Lend 100000, 900 to Italy.
Negotiations continued today with
of the nations TO
which the United States is extending
credit. Count di Cellere, the Italian
received the full amount
of the first S1OO,OOOOOO loan made by
this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering
of treasury certificates were received
during the day by the federal reserve
banks. Indications are that the secre-
tary will call for the proceeds within
a week, possibly few days.
The S100.O0O,00O loan to France will
be turned over to Ambassador Jusser-
and, in whole or part, within a day or
so.

The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff to make up a deficit of
