Corpus Christi Believed to
Have Received Brunt of

Dallas, Tex, Sept. l5.-Efforts were
renewed here to-day to restore wire COM
munication with Brownsville and Corpus
Christi, Tex, two points believed to have
received the brunt of the tropical hurri-
cane that yesterday swept inland along
the lower Texas coast and then moved
into Mexico, where, weather bureau offi-
cials believed, it will spend its fury in
the Mexican mountains.
Both places had been isolated as far
as wires were concerned since yesterday
afternoon. From Brownsville, however,
the army radio station was able to flash
last night brief dispatch that the worst
of the storm in that vicinity had passed.
No mention of loss Of life in that To-
cality was made. The last direct re-
port from Corpus Christi, received late
yesterday afternoon, said the wind had
attained a velocity of 80 miles an hour,
and that weather bureau officials admit
ted the situation was Serious"
Numerous coast cities visited by the
storm, including Galveston, early to-day
reported heavy property damage, but no
fatalities

WANT NEW SHIP MODELS.
French Marine Experts Do Not Con-
slider Old Type Satisfactory

Paris, Sept. l5.-The request of the
minister of marine for appropriations to
resume work on the five battleships
which were on the stocks before the war,
is meeting with opposition in the ma
rine committees of both the Chamber and
Senate, it being asserted the ships as
they were planned do not accord with
new conditions of warfare.
Work on the five ships was suspended
in 1915. Engineers of the naval depart
ment argue that they may be modern
lied, but there is strong current of
sentiment in favor Of dismantling the
hulls and saving the large amount Of
money the completion Of the work

STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
AND SEVERELY HURT
Miss Lena Dubie Was Knocked Down
and Had One Arm Broken Besides
Receiving Bruises, When
Pinned Against Gran
ite Wall.

Miss Lena Dubie, an employe at the
Hotel Barre, and whose home is in Gran
iteville, was badly hurt yesterday after
noon near the hotel, when a car num-
bered 6472 and registered under the name
of b. j. Fayette of Burlington, and said
to be driven by w. J. Sullivan, an en-
ploye in the Woolworth store in Bur.
lington, was driven against the side of
the hotel, pinning her between the car
and the granite wall at the corner of the
building.
Mr.. Sullivan said that the steering
gear was giving him trouble and so
thought he would drive the ear to the
Perry garage and have it put in shape
before he started out with It. His car
was parked just across the street and
had only little way to drive. Miss Du-
bic was standing at the corner of the no
tel, apparently waiting for someone,
when the big Jeffrey roadster moved
slowly across the street and toward her.
The car was travelling so slowly she did
not realize any danger, until the car
struck the curbing, throwing the wheels
so that the car was driven towards the
building.
Miss Dubie suffered broken arm and
several bruises about the body. DR.. Will
liam Mcfarland was called and Miss Du.
bic was moved to the Barre City hospi-
tai.
The car of Mr.. Sullivan was taken to
the Perry garage with badly smashed
front fender and the heavy front axle
on the left hand side of the ear was bent
to an angle of about IS degrees.
Mr.. Sullivan made arrangements with
Mr. Rowen, the manager of the hotel, to
make good the damages, and left this
morning by train for Burlington.

aschsetts authorities, Adjutsnt Gen
eral H. T. johnson on Saturday night
shipped to Boston some 400 riot guns

at war. This shipment does not deplete
the supply here, These guns are sup

VERY HEAVY TAXES.
Are Being Improved by German Govern,
ment on Telegraph Rates.

Berlin, Sunday, Sept. l4.-In conformi-
ty with its policy to tax everything TO
the utmost limit, the government has
announced that beginning tomorrow,
foreign telegraph rates win be advanced
100 per cent, This is in spite of the
fact that service has been very bad and
it has been necessary usually to pay
thrice the ordinary tolls for urgent serv-
ice, which has even then been slow and
unreliable
The decision chiefly concerns foreign
correspondents, who must now pay 25
instead of 10 pfennigs per word to Den
mark and Switzerland, 35 francs to Swe-
den, 40 to Norway, As to Italy, so to
Finland, ITO to Spain and $50 to Portu-
gal.
