New Orleans escaped with a severe drenching and a property loss of about 175,000, caused by the unroofing of buildings and destruction of a few houses and old structures. Fears are enteitalued for about forty passengers who were on a boat, the Lady Amelia, on Lake Pontclmrtraln. Numerous pleasure parties are know*n to have been out In small yachts among the Florida keya, beyond the reach of atorm signals, and It is feared there may have been Joss of Ufa Among them.

New York, Sept. 28.—While It was Impossible to get In direct commu nication today with Pensacola, Fla., It la knotyn that that city and others were devastated by a fearful West In dian hurricane that swept southwest ern Alabama. Louisiana. Mississippi and the eastern coast of Florida. Reporta from Pensacolo say the city was wrecked and In flames and that at least fifty person* were drowned. The hurricane today is blowing with undlminlshed fury. Nearly all the towns in the stricken country are cut off from communication by wire or rail. * Flames Reported at Mobila. No word has come from Mobile In thlrty-alx hours, and It Is feared there has been great loss of life and proper ty there. The last direct report from Pensacola said the city was wrecked, Special to The Georgian. JJJpw Orleans, La., flept. 28.—For the past 24 hours all efforts to reach the exposed towns on the coast, east and south of here, have failed. From Lake Catherine, eastward, these towns ore: Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Missis sippi City, Biloxi. Ocean Springs, Pas cagoula and Scranton. These places face the Mississippi sound, across which the wind has u long sweep. Some of them extend up to the brink of the sound which Is In places not more than six to ten feet above the normal sea level. Many of these banks are more over of soft earth. Several Towns Isolated. Although the local papers have tried to reach these towns by roundabout telegrams northward Into the middle of Mississippi and thence to the coast, not an Intimation of the situation has been received. Not only was all rail and telegraphic and telephonic communica tion cut off with the Mississippi sound towns, but there was not any Imme diate prospects of news by boat, a re sort which has frequently succeeded in the past when storms have Isolated the sound towns. Apprehension was In creased by the fact that these places, beginning nt Lake Catherine, the scene of the Hooding of the Louisville and Nashville tracks, and the farthest point east reached thus far, are much more exposed to wind and water than the larger gulf cities which have harbors. The Mississippi river was anxiously watched all day for the appearance of any one of a fleet of eight Iron steam ers which are either due or overdue here. Wireless Station Abandoned. The wireless station at the mouth of the river was abandoned early In the storm, tho last report being that there was about eight feet of water over the floor of the operator’s room. By long distance telephone New Orleans could reach only Baton Rouge and Houston, Texas, while tho available telegraph wires ran to Qalveston, Houston and to Memphis. Railroad service north and west was uninterrupted. The damage reported thus far Is con fined mostly to the havoc of tho tide driven by the wind upon the gulf coast to an unusual height. At the mouth of the Mississippi river pilots are com pelled to abandon their tows. Twenty- five Austrian fishermen and their fam ilies spent the night In boats on Doul- lots canal to escape the water, which Is rising over the Mississippi delta and threatening their cabins. The rice fields are considerably damaged In this sec tion. No vessels have attempted to en ter at the mouth of the Mississippi river since Tuesday night, but are rid lng out the storm In the open gulf. Railroads Receive No News. Louisville and Nashville officials said they were absolutely without advices as to the situation on their road east of Lake Catherine and do not know If their tracks are washed out east of that point. A pile driver drifted from the Queen and Crescent tracks against the Louis vine and Nashville embankment, car rylng down telegraph and telephone poles. Passengers arriving here over the Illinois Central tonight said that while the train was stopping at Macon, Miss, a hotel collapaed there, killing two peri sons. They said that heavy wind was encountered at Macon. They had no further details. Spent Night In Boats. The worst damage In the city woj nt West End, n summer pleasure re sort, largely built on piers over Lake Pontchartraln and about 6 miles from the center of the city. Here the piers leading to the Houthern Yacht Club were washed away, leaving the keeper, his wife and three children marooned In the building. Boats from shore car ried the wife and children from their dangerous position, but the keeper re tnalned 8t his post. Portions of an amusement wharf were washed away, the water eating a path up to the foot on the Inke bank, a shooting gallery and bath houses going Into the lake. Near West End inhabitants of Buck- town, a gambling resort, were driven from their houses, some of which floated from their supports. Mllneberg, another resort on the lAkc, was partly submerged Inst night and today poles were sent them to prop up houses which appeared about to fall Into the waves. Much of the pop ulation of Mllneberg spent Wednesday night In boats. At Southport, on the Mississippi river above the city, the force of the wind and waves caused two coal barges to fill and sink while tugs had a hard struggle to save other barges from go lng down. At Little Wood, near Lake Pontchnr- trnln, and 0 miles from the city, T. Kongo, his wife and a hoy saved their lives last night by wading through wa ter which nt times was waist deep. Their house was blown down and they saw another house collapse In the wind. Great damage to rice crops is also reported. flooded, In flames and that many lives had been lost. The hurrlonne which swept the gulf coast last Wednesday night reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour. It swept inland with irresistible force, causing the water to rise to a height unprece dented In many years. No Reports From Stations. Part of New Orleans was submerged. A few hours later the wind veered to the northwest, driving the waters to the gulf. The weather bureau at Washington was unable today to get reports from Its stations at Pensacola, Mobile. Vicksburg. New Orleans, Shreveport, I.a.. and Meridian. Miss. The storm Is traveling In a north westerly direction through Kentucky Into the Ohio valley. SHIPPING WAS WARNED IN PLENTY OF TIME.

Unless drastic measures are taken by the council relative to the saloons in Atlanta, and unless the special com' mlttee appointed to Investigate the sa loon licenses revokes a goodly number of the licenses at its' meeting next Tuesday, there will be, In all probabil ity, a prohibition election within the next thirty days. a meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of Atlanta, held In the Wesley Memorial church Friday morning, a strong sentiment toward holding a pro hibition election was unmistakably shown. In attendance at the meeting ere some four hundred members of the league and citizens. Three resolutions, as follows, were passed, after Impassioned speeches by a number of prominent citizens and min isters: "Be it resolvod, That the question of circulating the petition calling a local option election for prohibiting the sale whisky in Atlanta be postponed waiting the action of tho city council next Tuesday.” "Be it resolved, That the tense of this meeting is that the postponement tug gested is not a surrender, but that the Anti-Saloon League pledges itaelf never to stop in the fight until the .sale of whisky is swopt from the city of At lanta, state of Georgia.' 1 "Be it resolved, That it is tho sense of this meeting of the Anti-Qatoon League of Atlanta that council at its next mooting make permanent the rev ocation of all saloon licenses.’* At times the meeting bordered on a love feast and at times there was shown a division of sentiment between those who wished for the election to be called without delay and those who l.shod to await the action of council on the saloon license*. In the absence of President W. Hammond, of the Anti-Saloon League, II. Fakes was selected chairman. A. Ward, state secretary of the league, os elected secretary. Dr. J. E. White, pastor of'the Second Baptist church, was the first to be recognized. He opened his speech by presenting the first resolution, os print ed, and another, which was later with drawn. Twelve Would-Slump City. I have recelved-a letter from a mem ber of the Georgia legislature," con tinned Dr. White, after rending the resolutions, "Which pledges twelve members of that body to stump Atlan ta In tho'cause of prohibition.” Dr. White then stated that he be lieved that the events of the past few days would cause the overthrow of the saloon. He mentioned what the city II had done lately In the way of •eguhitlng the liquor traflic, calling nt tentlon to the passnge of the ordinance prohibiting chairs and tables In sa loons, that prohibiting the sale of II quor In restaurants, nnd stated that 67 saloons were now on the block list. 'Most of these,” said Dr. White, ■e under the control of B. & U. They n these places and place men In there, saying that financial results must be produced. The effect is that the bar-tenders sell all the liquor they pos sibly can to whites and blacks alike, attempting to hold their positions.” He also declared that the Atlanta Brewery was at the back of many of these "holes of Iniquity.” "I expect to see the time when there Is not a bit of liquor sold In Georgia. The sentiment against liquor traffic Is spreading nnd gnlning strength rapid ly,” said the speuker. He then stated that there were several ways of fight lng the. devil, and stated that to cope successfully with the saloon men the league must go nt It in a rational and that in fills manner the support of all law-abiding and good citizens would rally to the support of the league. Oth erwlse, even If the election wero a sue cess, those who voted for It during this time of general high feeling would pull In an opposite direction Inter, then suggested that the league await the action of the council. Rosser Fears Negro Vote. Luthei* Rosser stated, while support ing the resolution that no Immediate action should be taken as to holding an election, that such election at the pres ent time would cause another riot. That both sides would probably pull for the negro vote, as had been the case In the last prohibition election and that this ould be fatal. Captain English al#*^ championed the resolution and the deferring of action until later. Dr. A. U. Holderbv, pastor of the Moore Memorial church, was the next to spenk, and also approved the resolu tion. Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist church, stated that It was the first time for the last ten years that he had witnessed such nn audience at a prohibition meeting. "I have been seeking for n bright side to the dark picture of the past few days and I have found It this morning,” he stated. "Georgia has a brighter moral future than ever before.” "It is Tims,” Some Ons Said. Dr. Landrum then advocated the de- lay of definite decision as to the elec tion. He stated that he was thankful for Georgia, for the committee of ten nnd for the council. "God’s holy spirit must he getting Into the city council,” he said, and some one In attendance said, "It Is time.” A voice from the audience then asked: "Dr. Landrufti, did you ever have the chance to Incorporate the prohibition plank In that of the Demo cratic platform nnd refuse? I under stand you did.” * I)r. Landrum declared that he did not. and It was ruled that further per- malltlcs would not lie permissible. Dr. M. J.

He stated that 50 men could have stopped the riot 8atur- BRYAN OFFERS TO STUMP STATE FOR O, HEARST Nebraskan Declares He Wants Editor Elected Governor of N. Y. Oklahoma City, O. T..

He de clared that while It would not he the Intention to take advantage of any ex cltement the league did not Intend to allow the saloons to remain open. Mr. Upshaw declared that there had been a marvelous reverting of senti ment toward prohibition. "Just the other day I was In the office of one of the best-known attorneys In Atlanta who led In the fight against prohibi tion at the last election and he stated that If It came to a show-down he ould vote against the saloon. "That person," said the speaker, “was J. J. Spalding.” Mr. Upshaw stated that he was op posed to latitude and longitude In the whisky question; that whisky would make a brute out of the white man ns well as the negro. He stated thnt the saloons known as the respectable bars should be closed as well as the others. "The aesthetic son of wealth that would dare to haVe a baechlnalean revel and take away from the poor man a com mon drunk Is the Incarnation of selfish ness.” "Prohibition Doss Prohibit.” The rest of his speech was showing that prohibition did prohibit. "We love the saloon-keeper,” he said, "but we arc determined to destroy the saloon.” Dr. Millard then Introducel the sec ond resolution. Dr. R. F. Hakes then spoke on the subject. Dr. George H.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 28.—The political situation In Texas presents some queer conditions, the like of which have not been witnessed In this state in years. One thing that makes it Interesting the split In the Republican party, there being two state Republican tickets In the field. But the most Interesting part of the situation Is thnt as to whether Joseph Weldon Bailey, Junior United States senator from Texas, should be sent back to the senate. Mr. Bailey, before the evidence given by Henry Clay Pierce, was the Idol of the Dem ocracy of Texas, nnd anything within tho gift of the people of this state would have cheerfully been bestowed upon him. Since the charge has been •uhifshed to the world that Senator Jailey, while representing the people of Texas In the highest legislative body of the country, had also used his ta! ents. Influence and energy toward fur therlng the plans of the Stnndard Oil Company. Is more than many voters of Texas will stand for. Ballsy Had No Opposition Senator Bailey had no opposition for renomlnatlon during the primaries held on August 28, and as a result he wo* renominated by the Democrats for this high position. There were many voters In the state, however, who had charged that Senator Bailey was not true to his party, and he ran from 15,000 to 20,000 votes behind the ticket. Since the testimony given by Henry Clay Pierce has become commonly known, this op position has become more pronounced At a mass meeting of Democrats held In Wood county, a few days ago, reso lutlons addressed to the representatives In the state senate nnd legislature were adopted asking them to vote and work against Mr. Bailey being again sent to the senate. Meetings have been held at several other places In the^state for the same purpose and a petition, which was circulated at Dallas, In the nature of a protest to the legislature, was signed by many people. Houston, Aus tin and other larger points In the state, have taken similar action, nnd the in dications are that one of the hardest fought senatorial contests In the history of Texas ‘will be witnessed when the legislature meets next January. Fight Among Republicans. The fight among the Republicans is also creating quite a great deal of in terest and the indications are that this party will turn loose more campaign funds this year than ever before. The "reorganized” Republicans, or those fighting the present state chairman and his adherents, are confident that they will poll more votes at the No vember election than the "regulars,” providing that their names are placed on the official ballot. Just at this time the right of the new wing of the party to have their names placed on the ballot Is being contested by the regular faction, and the matter will not be settled until the first Mon day In October, at which time the man damus proceedings Instituted by the re organizers to force Secretary of State Shannon to plAce the names of their nominees on the official ballot will be heard before the supreme court of the state.
