CORPUS CHRISTI SLOWLY
EMERGING FROM RUINS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Sept. 16.--
With troops patrolling the main streets
and relief trains headed this way from
many parts OF the state, Corpus Christi
today began slowly emerging from the
wreckaRe caused by the gulf hurri-
cane which struck the city early sun
day. bringing death to an unknown
number OF persons, and doing property
damage Of millions.
It was impossible today to get any
thing like n correct estimate of fataii-
ties. In the city proper the death list
was placed by some officials at between
10 and %, but that was regarded by
many as far too conservative. In some
quarters II was said the number OF In
jured would exceed ZOO
One report In circulation today. but
as yet unconfirmed, was that l2C
bodies, most Of them recognized as resi-.
dents OF Corpus Christi, had been taken
from a reef near Portland on Nueces
bay upon which Corpus Christi is sit
uated
More than 5000 persons we're made
homeless by the storm. However. with
the coming OF relief trains It was ex.
pected by night most of those made
destitute would be taken care OF.
Considerable anxiety was expressed
regarding the fate Of the launch Waldo
with Is persons on board, which left
Corpus Christi Saturday afternoon on a
fishing excursion, Since the storm nc
word has been received from the party
which included four women.
Fears are entertained that n heavy
casualty list will be reported from sur
rounding towns, several uf which were
directly in the path Of tho storm.
The storm sent tidal wave 10 feet
high over the business and North
beach districts of the city, That the
loss OF life was not appalling was due
to the prompt warning sent out to the
lower portions Of the city early Sunday

Honolulu Paper Gets News
Date for Kiau Chau Re-
turn Is Sought.

HONOLULU, Sept. 16.-The United
States has asked the Japanese GOV
ernment to fix a definite date for the
return to Kiau Chau to China, accord
ing to cable advices received here to-
day by the Nippu Jiui, a Japanese
daily newspaper. The cable added that
the Japanese government had not an
swered the communication.
WASHINGTON Sept. 16,-officials
here, in the absence Of President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing, will not
comment upon the report that the y. s.
has asked Japan to set a. defininte date
for the return of Kiau Chau to China.
The general impression in official cir
cles Is that the report is well founded.
Japans answer to such request
by the government would have an i'm
portant bearing on the senates con-
sideraton of the peace treaty as one
of the objections to 1t on which op-
position is being centered Is the Shan
tung provision
Administration supporters or the
treaty feel a definite announcement by
Japan setting a date for the return. OF
Kiau Chau would go far to remove that
I point.
Various Japanese officials have stat
ed Kiau Chau would be returned but
time never was set.

MRS. REESE WANTS
WOMEN VOTERS To
STAND TOGETHER
Believes Municipal Candidates
Should Be Pledged to Prin-
CipIeS Advocated by Women
Before Given Support.

Women voters in Memphis and in the
other cities of Tennessee where they
have the right to vote, are not-going to
be satisfied with mere glittering gener-
aHueS by way of a platform, in the
opinion of Mrs. Isaac Reese, one of the
suffrage leaders in the state.
Mrs. Reese recently returned from a
tour OF the state, during which she
talked with many OF the suffrage lead
ers, and made several addresses, in
which she urged the women to stand
together on all matters OF principle, and
not to allow the suffrage forces to be
divided by local issues She is the rep
resentative of the state suffrage organ
izatlon for the Tenth congressional dis
trict
Working on the same lines. Mrs.
Reese Is advising the women of Mem
phis not to align themselves with any
political ticket in the coming city elec-
tion until they secure definite pledges
from the candidates on questions in
which the women are vitally interested,
better enforcement of the laws, ade-
auate funds for the support of the
schools, better methods in the conduct
OF the juvenile court, with women as
members of the advisory committee,
and number Of similar questions
which affect civic conditions in the city.
Our plan to bring about movement
for ward meetings. to be followed by a
delegated convention, was undertaken
primarily more with the idea of putting
forth a platform covering these things"
said Mrs Reese, than for the nomina-
tion Of a third ticket for the coming
city election. At the same time, we
want candidates who stand personally
for these things and who we know will
carry out such specific pledges, if nomi-
mated and elected" ..y..
Mrs. Reese said, however, that while
several conferences have been held, no
mention of possible candidates has yet
been made, neither has any definite
date yet been set for the.proposed ward
mass meetings, which under the resolu-
tion adopted at the New. Lyric theater
meeting, call for the election OF tkxu
women and Two men from each ward as
delegates to the proposed convention.

HIT LOAN SHARK
AND PROE|TEER,
JUDGE CHARGES
Richards Tells New Grand
Jury How to Proceed
Against Parasites. W.
; Hughes Heads Probers.

Judge j. Ed Richards of the First
criminal court, in charging the new
grand jury Tuesday directed it's espe :
ciai attention to usury charged by the
loan companies, and also explained to
n how 1t could proceed against prof
iteers. ~
He said there were laws against
they could proceed and possibly aid
n lowering the high cost of living.
He said: "The law is amply suffi-
cient to punish both individuals and
corporations who seek exorhitant and
unreasonable profits in dealing in pro-
visions which form part of the neces-
saries Of life"
The common law, he said, defines
three separate. misdemean6rs which
may be committed by dealers in pro-
visions, those Of forestalling the mar
ket; engrossing the market, and re-
grating the market
The offense of forestalling, he said,
Is buying or contracting for merchan-
disc or foodstuffs on the way to market.
or disSuading persons from bringing
their goods or provisions there, or ask
ing them TO enhance the price of the
goods. making the market dearer for
the fair trader
Regrating he explained as meaning
unreasonable buying provisions, etc, in
any market and selling them for an
unreasonable profit.
Engrossing means the getting into
ones possession large quantities OF
produce. etc, with intent to sell them
again, This he explained, meant
power to raise the price of provisions
The penalty for these offenses may be
fines or Imprisonment at the discre-
tion Of the court.

Loan Shark Rates.

Judge Richards also urged upon the
new body to keep up the crusade begun
by the retiring grand jury against loan
sharks He said that news had reached
him that the loan sharks were preying
on the poor and ignorant and that in
many cases they are charging usurious
interest, in some instances from 100 to
300 per cent on loans,
He said unfortunately this offense is
punishable only by a fine. but that the
application of fines in many cases
would run the operators out OF the field
A fine OF $40 and costs amounting to
about $50 for each offense, would mean
considerable money If there were as
many as so fines against one concern.

LAND RAGING SEA
UNDER BIG STORM

the North Beach section OF Corpus
Chrlsti, and were carried inland by
the rush of waters up the Nueces
river.
Practically the entire country between
Odem and Corpus Christi was raging
sea all Sunday night and every low
point Is still flooded with water.
In addition to the loss of human life
hundreds Of cattle and thousands Of
birds and other game were drowned
or killed by storm.
The first man rescued here follow
ing the storm was ], G. Griffith. aged
Sc, q fisherman of the Reef, Corpus
Christi and who fought for his life
for nearly "a hours before being saved.
During the heavy rain and as the
waters were rising he had gone into
a home on North Beach to assist in
moving an invalid woman TO the second
floor While occupied at that task
the waters rose four feet in as many
minutes and the party, consisting OF
three men and the woman, took refuge
on the roof. The house soon broke to
pieces and he saw the others drown
while he was unable TO help them.
John Tam, rs. ward of his uncle,
r. C. Taylor, of North Beach, saw his
uncle and aunt carried off by the flood
in one direction while he went another,
He was badly cut by timbers which
struck him during the time he was in
