Gale and Rising Tide Is Wrecking Property HOUSTON, Texas, June 22.—The heaviest part of the gulf stream gale is about to hurl mself into Galves ton, according to barometer read- ings here late today. The barometer was steadily fall- ing, which indicated the worst of the storm was nearing. It was reported that the gale, of a width of 200 miles, was howling landward and likely to etrike some where between Corpus Christi and Orange. Wind velocity tn Port Arthur, Bay City, Victoria, Galveston and | Houston stood at @0 to 40 miles an | houf, The tornado will have a velocity of 90 miles an hour and will hit Galveston late this afternoon, ac cording to the Weather bureau. Inhabitants of this and other coast cities were secKing refuge in their cellars. The storm wag coming from the northeast, The gale swept the Padre and Bra- 20s islands off shore and hundreds of vacationists fled to the mainland for safety. Flood warnings were given to peo- ple who live in the lowlands of Gal- veston, where the United States weather service reported a six-foot rise in the tide, The city is nine feet above the low- tide level, and no extra precautions were taken within the seawall prop- er. Water, however, falling in sheets, drenched the island city. Many ships off the Gulf coast were at the mercy of the battering winds, it wag feared, Spray was breaking over the sea wall at Galveston, according to late reports reaching here, Weather observers said they did) not expect further rise in the tide} at Galveston and declared the sea wall, 15 feet high, running along the gulf side of Galveston island, would check any danger. oe GALVESTON, Tex., June 22.--The | oll tanker William H, Doheny was at | the mercy of a heavy gale today.

She was Mrs. A. Williamson, She was accompanied by Mrs. H. Dryden, They both live at 1242 Third ave. The two bandits stepped from the shadows of the high school and pulled guns on the two women, warning them to keep still or they would be killed. Mrs. Willlamson opened her purse and offered them some small change. “That's what we want,” said the older bandit. They did not attempt to rob Mrs. Dryden. She was unable to account for the fact that she was not robbed except that the aged Mrs. Williamson could offer no resistance. ‘ Police are searching for the two, who are described as being about medium height, the younger about 17 and the other about 35.. Both wore black clothes and were smooth shaven. UDGE COULDN’T SEE THE POINT NEW YORK, June 22.—Albion P. Man, jr., suing to have his brother, Robert I.

Now she wants me to quit it and go into business.” PULLEN SEATTLE RESIDENT NOW Pullen married Miss Monger at Los Angeles last winter. They moved to Seattle and are now liv- ing on the beach here at Alki. Joe Thpmas, popular Seattle auto racer, who has gained na- tional fame on the “roaring road,” introduced them here ih 1894. The now Mrs. Pullen was then living with her mother at the, Hotel Washington Annex. The reason for “Baby Shoes,” Pullen's odd monieker, is that he never enters a race without a pair of baby shoes tied to the cowl dash of his car, Pullen’s use of baby shoes as a token of good luck came thru the advice of an engineer in the Mercer automobile factory, who suggested that Pullen use his lit- tle daughter's shoes in his next race, Pullen won, and the baby’s shoes have decorated every car that Pullen has driven in races since then. Pullen says he has recetved shoes, big and little, from all parts of the country since dt has become known that they have brought him good Iufck, “I believe if it weren't for the Pacific coast states, there wouldn't be any racing in Amer fea,” Pullen said. “The West- ern promoters offer more mote ey, and there is much more in- terest taken in the game in Washington and California than all the Eastern states \put to- gether.” WILL ENTER ONLY * ONE MORE RACE Pullen is going to enter one more race. But, that, accord- ing to Mrs, Pullen, is to be his last. He will drive a Duesenberg in the 225-mile speedway event at Tacoma July 4. The car is ex- pected to arrive here this week. “Red” Carrens, former chauf- feur for Tom Mix, the movie star, will be Pullen's mechanic. Carrens {is just breaking into the racing game, Pullen raced at Corona in 1916 when Bob Burman was killed, in Milwaukee in 1913 when Bruce Brown met his tragic death, and at Los An- geles last year when O'Donnell and Gaston Chevrolet were killed. “after my next race,” said Pullen today, “I guess Roscoe Searles, winner of the Union- town races last Saturday, and I will open an auto agency of some kind here on the Coast."

If pirates raided the ships and murdered or captured the crews, as some officials believe, they must have left some trace along the shore. The disappearances extend over shveral months and a raiding vessel would have to have some base for operations along the shore. A list of 20 vessels which have disappeared in the last few months was made up at the commerce de partment today. Five of the vessels, or possibly six, were near Cape Hatteras when they went down. While the number of yeasels which have vanished is not unusual, the fact that no trace has been found of them, and that so | many were last heard from near the same spot is unusual.
