GOV. I4VERS ON THE KTORM.
Prompt Measures Taken tor the Re
lief of the Sufferer*.
Austin, Tex.. Sept. 10.—When asked to
night by a representative of the Asso
ciated Press for an expression a* to the
flout situation along the Gulf coast, Gov.
B*yers said:
**l think It la the most deplorable catas
trophe In the history of America, and 1
feel that every possible M should be lent
the sufferers In their hour of great need.
From information received here 1 am led
to think that hundreds of families have
either lest their dear one* or ben bereft
of their homes, and the case Is one that
will certainly appeal to every one. I have
taken active steps to raise relief for every
one that can possibly be looked after 1
ha,ve wired all the city mayors and all
the county Judges, asking them to secure
all funds and provision* possible and their
replies up to to-night are very gratifying.
' The assistance lent us by the federal
government In the way of fifty thousand
ration* and 10.09) tenia will aid not a tit
tle In relieving the situation at present
Tit* first duty, of course, will be to look
after the living who are thirsting and In
hunger, without either water or palatable
food to eat. but I think within a day or
so we will have the relief corps working
In good order. J will give the matter my
personal supervision and am confident
that w* will ae# to It that everybody is
looked after. It will requir* considera
ble money, however, to do this. I have
located several assistants and the adju
tant general Is near the scene of action
and they will personally supervise the dls
trlbutlrn while I remain here to answer
all Inquiries "
