BOAT MAKES TRIP WITH
CARGO UP RIO GRANDE.
By Associated Pres*
Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 14.—The
first power boat to navigate the Rio
Grande with a cargo in probably thir-
ty years docked on the bank of the
river here the other day, bringing a
shipment of unginned cotton from the
mouth of the Rio Grande, 100 miles by
water from here.
Up to thirty yeais ago, the river
boats regularly navigated the Rio
Grande, but changes in the channel
in recent years made it impracticable
without dredging. The boat that
made the recent trip was the Martha
J. of Point Isabel, under Captain F. M.
Collins.

PALMER HOME BLOWN UP BY EX.
PLOSIVES MANUFACTURED AT
GARY STEEL PLANT.
By Associated fru.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 14.—Federal au-
thorities at Gary, Ind., where military
control has been established by Major
General Wood owing to the disturb-
ances incident to the steel workers’
strike, momentarily expect to arrest
the alleged makers of the bombs which
were exploded June 3 in the home of
Attorney General Palmer at Washing-
ton, and also obtain evidence clearing
up the terrorist bomb ploth of May
Day and June 2.
According to authoritative informa-
tion received here today, evidence also
was obtained that the terrorist organ-
ization was responsible for the attempt
made against the lives of officials
throughout the country.
Military authorities at Gary an-
nounced today that they expected to
have the maker of the Gimbel and
other bombs which startled the coun-
try during the past year under arrest
in a few hours.
LETTS IN RIGA ARE IN
VERY DESPERATE STRAITS
By Associated v-ress.
Copenhagen, Oct. 14.—The Letts
have recrossed the Duna river in the
direction of Mitau and occupied the
suburb of Riga on the left bank of
the river, according to a telegram to
the Lettish press bureau from Wen-
den, Livonia, fifty miles northeast of
Riga.
REVISED FIGURES SHOW
357 DEATHS IN STORM.
By Associated Press,
Corpus Christ!, Oct. 14.—The total
number of known dead and missing as
a result of the tropical hurricane here
was officially announced as 357, by
the Bureau of Information as a result
of revision of figures. Of these 183
are dead and 174 missing. The fig-
ures cover the entire area that was
inundated.
Several hundred names were turned
in during the early days following the
storm as dead and missing, but a
careful check reduced the number to
357. It is possible that a few more
may be added, as there may have been
tourists on North Beach of which there
is no record and regarding whom no
inquiry has been received. On the
other hand, bureau officials state that
probably some of these listed among
the unidentified dead, discovery of
which will reduce the total.
The work of checking the names has
been carried on in Corpus Cbristi,
Rockport, Port Aransas and Aransas
Pass and by mail and telegraph.
Copenhagen, Oct. 14.—The situation
of the Lettish troops in Riga is des-
perated according to dispatches from
Helsingfors. The German and Rus-
sian troops are expected to force the
passage of the Duna river, which sep-
arates the main body of Col. Avaloff-
Bermondt’s troops from the main por-
tion of the Riga, at any moment.
The old town of Riga, and the port
have been greatly damaged, it is said.
Many civilians have been killed or
wounded.
Allied cruisers are aiding in the de-
fense of Riga against German attacks,
which for five days have been inces-
sant and stubborn, • according to a
communication issued by the Lettish
foreign office Sunday. Riga is being
bombarded by the enemy.

New York, Oct. 14.—With 200,000
workers on strike or intending to
strike, according to union estimates,
New York today is faced with the
ever-increasing prospect of a serious
food shortage, which was increased by
the refusal of the longshoremen to re-
turn to work and the continuance of
the teamster’s strike. The only ray
of hope was the announcement that
the longshoremen’s-union would begin
a referendum vote on the question of
returning to work.
The teamster’s Strike has caused
the American Railway Express Co. to
place an embargo on all express pack-
ages entering and leaving the city.

other perishable food is shipped here

MSTAJJ1UWT
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 14— Flying
a Sopwith airplane, Capt. Eric Don-
aldson of the British Royal Flying
Corps will attempt to win the $50,000
prize offered by Thomas H. Ince, mov-
ing picture producer and sportsman,
for the first successful airplane flight
across the Pacific ocean in the near
future. Capt. Donaldson, the first
bona fide entrant in the contest, made
a visit here recently and disclosed his
plans. ..
Captain Donaldson now is on the
way to England from his home in
Australia where he has been on fur-
lough. He expects to be discharged
within the next sixty days and will
bring with him from England the
Sopwith machine he will use. He has
been flying for the British army for
the past four years and is regarded as
one of the country’s best aviators. The
Sopwith machine he plans to use will
be an exact duplicate of the machnie
in which Harry Hawker made his
flight across the Atlantic.
A navigator will accompany Capt.
Donaldson and his machine will be
equipped with a powerful wireless
set, he says. He plans to make the
journey from Venice, Cal., to a point
in Australia in five jumps, stopping
at Honolulu, Fanning Islands, Phoe-
niz Islands and Fiji Islands. At Hon-
olulu, he says, his regular landing
gear will be suplanted by pontoons
which will enable him to land on
the water.
Although twelve days are" allowed in
which to complete the trip, in accord-
ance with the rules of the Pacific
Aero Club which is supervising the
contest, Capt. Donaldson plans to use
only ten. He plans to leave Venice,
Cal., about 4 o’clock in the afternoon
and hopes to arrive at Honolulu by
noon of the next day.
TEXAS BONDED INDEBT-
EDNESS NOW $200,333,000
• By Associated Pre**.
Austin, Texas. Oct. 14. — Texas’
bonded indebtedness approximates
$200,333,000, according to estimates of
financial observers. • A considerable
porton of this total may be arrived at
this total mya cmfwyp mfwypfwyppp
accurately from reports made to differ-
ent department heads. On September
1, 1919, Texas city bonds totaled $48,-
174,582, and county bonds totaled $53,-
663,759, according to reports made to
the state comptroller.
From this date to September 1,1919,
the attorney generals’ department had
approved $51,494,840 8ft bonds. These
three items give a rough total of $150,-
000,000. In addition there are the
bonds of subdivisions of counties is-
sued before Septembed 1, 1919. They
are all recorded, but have never been
totaled. However, It is estimated semi-
officially that this total will be near
$50,000,000.
An outstanding point is that aprpox*
imately 25 per cent of the bonds were
approved by the attorney general dur-
ing the fiscal year just ended.
