NEW ORLEANS, August 26.—Sev- eral thousand persons who yesterday fled from their homes near the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana and Texas prepared to return today, as Weather Bureau officials predicted that the tropical hurricane, which came roar- ing out of the Gulf yesterday, would spend its force about 100 miles inland. Loui a residents today were busy checking the damage caused by the storm. Accurate totals were hard to obtain, because wire communication was severely curtailed. Houses were unroofed in some sections and many trees were uprooted. Barometers along the coast, which had been steadily falling for more than a dozen hours, were rising to- day, showing that the center of the storm had passed on. Wind velocity also continued to decrease in most Speed of the wind in New diminished from a peak of s an hour last night to 28 shortly after midnight. 1t began to increase, however, about an hour later and was soon blowing as high as 35 miles an hour.

Several houses had been damaged, the roofs of some being lifted, before the wires to Mor- gan City were crippled. Meanwhile, reports from the mouth of the Mississippi River told of the barometer rising. Tides there and at other points along the coast were falling. How virtually at Apprehen- slon was felt among coast residents for the safety of numerous fishermen who left Biloxi yesterday for the Louisiana marshes. More than a score of minor fires were reported here last night. Serv ice on the lines of the Texas Pacific Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads were still hampered today by high winds which made it unsafe to attempt to move trains across the Mis- sissippi River here aboard ferry boats. Five trains were delayed for the same reason last night. A workman was fatally injured last night at Ship Island, Miss., when he was struck by a wire charged with electricity. No other serious injuries were reported. FASCIST OFFICE WRECKED Catholic Youths Attack Head- quarters, Smash Furniture.

Waring’s Penn- sylvanians, under Fred Waring, and the newly organized Metropolitan Ramblers, under Milton Davis, will combine forces on the stage of the Metropolitan to form a 30-piece synco- pated’ band, exceeding by five musi- clans the number presented by Paul Whitman on his last concert in the Capital. Two grand pianos will be placed upon the elevator-stage, one played by Tom Waring and one by Milton Davis. In additlon to this innovation, the speclal program arranged by John J. Payette, will be given added interest by the presence of the Loomis Twins, who will be brought down from Cran- dall’'s Tivoli Theater, especially for this occasion, for a group of their most effective songs. It will be of interest to followers of modern music to know that the piece de resistence prepared for the amal- gamated orchestra of 30 will be George Gershwin's widely discussed “Rhapsody in Blue,” which has beei in rehearsal for several days. This program will be presented only the one time, beginning at 12:50 p.m. Saturday. There will be no extra ad- mission charge.
