NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-The first
storm of the Gulf of Mexico's annual
hurricane season" blew itself out to-
day in Southwestern Louisiana with
no serious damage reported.
The blow struck last night at so
miles an hour, less than hurricane
force, on the sparsely settled Louisiana
coast near Cameron, fishing village
of about 100 inhabitants 35 miles from
the Texas coast.
In an early morning advisory the
United States Weather Bureau here
said the disturbance is decreasing
rapidly and there is no further danger"
The bureau ordered hurricane warn
ings flown along the 160-mile stretch
from Morgan City, La, to Port Bo-
livar, Tex. yesterday after the trop-
ical disturbance moved into the gulf
through the Yucatan channel Friday
night from the West Indies.
Last night it whirled inland into
Lake Charles. La, city of 10000
persons 40 miles inland from the coast,
smashed windows. and uprooted trees.
Sergt. w. P. Morris of the Lake
Charles Police Force said a heavy
rain accompanied the dying hurri-
cane. Telegraph and telephone wires
were whipped to the ground, isolating
the city for nearly an hour. Power
lines also went down, throwing sew
