Austin. Texas.—With the bodies ot fourteen persons drowned here re covered. eleven persons missing and rescuing parties still at work among the ruins of 200 homes swept away by recent storms, the citizenship of Austin have begun a systematic plan for the relief of the sufferers. The property loss is estimated at $500,000. Temporary quarters are being pro vided for all whose homes had been swept away or are not habitable, and food and clothing is being furnished. Ten inches of rain fell in two hours and torrents of water poured into the homes of people living in the low lands, before the alarm could be given. Twenty bridges were swept away and paved streets ruined. The body of Mrs. Charles R. Wink ler was carried sixteen miles down the river by the force of the flood. Among the missing is George Whit tington. son of A. G. Whittington of Houston, vice president of the Inter national and Great Northern railroad. In Dallas, fire caused by lightning destroyed the Pierce-Fordvce Oil as sociation's main warehouse, worth *125.000. More than 150,000 barrels of oil have been destroyed in a fire caused by lightning in the big Thrall field at Taylor. Texas. Wynnewood. Okla.. and Knox City. Tex., were damaged by tornadoes. One man was killed at Christobal, Texas. Dallas is “gasless" as a result of the storm. It depends almost entirely on natural gas for fuel. One big bakery threw away T.OoO pounds of dough because of the gas main break. Fort Worth met a like fate. Italy's Entry Into War Doubtful. Rome (Via Paris).—A prominent Italian statesman said the other day that the participation of Italy in the war at least in the immediate future seemed less likely now than had been the case for some time. ‘‘To enter the war Italy would first be obliged to break off negotiations with the central empires which are still being conducted at Vienna.” he explained. ‘The government would then have to find a plausible reason for denounc ing the treaty which created the triple alliance. Even were that done, it is mast likely that the central em pires. under present conditions would not consider such action as a cause for war. Italy must find another rea son if she desires to pick a quarrel with Austria.” Medicine Contained Strychnine. Broken Bow. Neb.—A report from the state laboratory shows that the stomach of Alva Street, the boy who died at his home near Merna after taking a dose of salts, contained strychnine, as also did the salts. It was brought out in testimony before the coroner's jury that Guy. an older brother, took salts from the same bottle probably a month ago, and they made him ill. Dr. Landis, the coroner, thinks it possible from the symptoms described that it may have been strychnine poisoning. A 12 year-old sister took a dose from the same bottle two weeks ago. but no ill effects followed. Coroner Landis, Prosecutor Kelly and Sheriff Wilson are working on the theory that the poison came from the outside, and have started a rigid investigation. According to State Food Commission er Harman, the strychnine was not a natural ingredient of the medicine and the manufacturer of it will not be prosecuted. John Cudahy Dies at Chicago. Chicago. 111.—John Cudahy, one of i !he founders of Chicago's great pack ing industry- and a millionaire board of trade leader, died at his home, 3254 Michigan avenue.
