Although Federal military forces were
withdrawn from the store area Friday fol
lowing the storm, a provisional motor
transport compan\ was left at the disposal
of Mayor Gordon "lioone of Corpus Christ i
to aid in removing debris from the street>
ot the city.
"Too much praise cannot be given Lieut.

to l.itMii 1; B. Wakefield, officer in

; trucks it would have taken six months to
remove wreekage from the business ami
residence portions of Corpus Christi. whi-u
i were in the path of wind and waves, but
as it stands we have opened all streets.
; and. within two or thrc weeks, the n si

As spokesman for the people of Corpus
Christi. Mr Miller yesterday morning e\-
pressed appreciation for Federal aid sent
following an appeal to Southern Depart-
; ment headquarters Monday after the storm.
While here Mr. Miller expressed hopes
of netting permanent aid from all over lite
Fnited States rebuild towns dama_
by the hurri- ane. A fund of at least
000.000 is needed, he says. This amount, il
raised, will be prorated among the coast
towns near Corpus Christi.
No further assistance of military au-
thorities was asked by Mr. Miller, accord
ing to Gen Plckman. 4
NO ANNOUNCEMENT OF
FINDINGS IN FOOD PROSE
MADE BY GRAND JURY
Investigatons which have been going on
for some time resulted in the arrest of a
local physician Friday in connection with
trafficking in drugs. Revenue Agent T. J.
Taylor said that a great deal on the sub-
ject has been published from time to time
and doctors and druggists have been thor-
oughly warned throughout the State as to
the dangers of illicit traffic n habit form-
ing drags.
■ It seeius that from time to time certain
characters find it impossible to withstand
the temptation of making easy money by
capitalizing the habit of th>» drug fiends,
said Mr. Taylor. "Attention had been
i called for some time to the character ot
callers at the office of this physician who
. was arrested yester.iav. After watching
for some time a raid whs made, whieh dis-
closed the details of a very considerable
illicit traffic along this lia •.
1 am at a loss to understand how a man
who has a standing in the community ami
a fairly lucrative practice will take the
j chance of facing sentence in the Federal
, Court, of imprisonment of from one to five
years, and a fine of $100 to $10,000. or both,
together with the loss of his license to
' practice in this state and rights of citizen-
ship in the t'nited States, for the present
profit of a few dollars wrung from these
j drug addicts.
The courts throughout tne T'nited
States, I notice, are considering these of-
tenses more and more serious. We hope
to have a considerable increase in the force
of agents in the near future, and that In
: due time we shall be able to rid Texas of
'his traffic."

1 Who is profiteering in San Antonio and
| Bexar County? This is a question fre-
I queutly asked, but nothing as yet has
I been given out offlciaiy or otherwise.
There was to have been an investi»u-
s tlon by a special grand jury for the e\
j press purpose of finding out and pio;.;>
(Uting those who are supposed to be taking
! advantage of the innocent customer. This
I pertained especially to food, although it
1 was generally understood that all commo-
1 uities which were being sold at an exorb.
j tant price would come tinder the head of
; the probe. Thus far there have been no
I indictments, and there has been no out-
ward indication that an investigation wa.
being carried on. It is possible that there
will be some announcements ton orrow,
when the grand jury convenes, but up to
the present time profiteers are still prof
j iteerlng, according to reports

Over 100.000 acres of land In the lower
Uio Grande bottoms, about half of which
was under cultivation, was flooded as the
result of the storm September 20 and the
heavy rains which followed, according to

; returned from the valley yesterday. There
' was no loss of life, or any great damage
i to Mission. McAUen, Pharr, Donna, Mer-
; cedes. San Benito or Brownsville, Mr. Holt
said. Crops In the overflow area were to-
! tally destroyed.
I rain service west of Mercedes was re-
; sinned yesterday, according to Mr. Iloit.
Despite the flood, several home-seekers'
excursions have visited the valley, going
as tar as K.'iyinondsville by rail and tour-
ing from there in automobiles. The roads
generally, except in the overflow area, are
in good shape

water of several weeks ago took out all ihe
bridges and culverts In that section, due
span of tile Hondo Crook bridge, which
is on the San Antonio-Hondo highway, was
washed out.
Crossings at this point are not passable,
Mr. Noonan writes, owing to deep waf"V
and washouts in the bed of the creek. His |
directions to travelers coming on that1
road are that alter arriving at the three .
forks ol' the road on this side at the top
of Hie hill west of Castrovlllc, to take the
right-hand, or Quihl, road, which crosses ,
the Hondo Creek over cement slabs. From!
that, point Into Hondo the roads are good.
At the present time labor and teams for
road work are not available at any price,
he states. It is estimated that it will
require oil days to make the necessary re-
pairs on Hie bridge alone, and it. will be
equally long before all tbe roads in Me-
dina County are In good shape again.
A petition for an !fSOO,flOO bond issue for
good roads Is now being circulated In Me-
dina Count}', and au election will be called
in Hie near future. The movement Is be-
ing endorsed throughout the county by all
the leading citizens, and it is probable that
the Issue will be voted by a big majority.
Freedrlcksbiirg cannot be reached at pres-
ent by a direct route. The only data fur-
nished by the department is that at a point
six miles from Fredericksburg, where the
road forks, the traveler should take Phe
right fork ami go via Cain City. Itoads on
this detour are in passable condition.
Knnd Open to Dallas,
The trip lo Dallas can be made without
mishap by following the main road through
Mistin, Taylor, Waco and thence to Dallas.
The only bad strip encountered on the
, first lap will lie the short stretch In (Juad-
i uliipe County, near Selma. Further on, a
| few rough places may be expected. Ail
"closed road" signs on the King's Trail
highway should he disregarded, as this Is
now open throughout the State in that sec-
tion.
For the benefit of local motorists who
expect to attend the State Fair In Itallns
during the coming weeks, Mr. Furlong is
asking that the Chamber of Commerce at
Temple, Waco and Taylor furnish reports
on roads In their section three times each
! week, or more often If the weather thrent-
cas. This Information will be available
at the Weather Bureau, as well as the de-
partment office.
All roads south are In good condition
except the San Antonio-Laredo road at
Hcrby. where the water from the Frio Creek
i is overrunning the road.
! Fast, the roads are open all the way lo
Houston via the Victoria route. The more
] direct route, through Seguin, Waelder,
Weimar, Fagle Lake and Rosenberg, 's
, reported to be rough, especially in (iuudi-
! lupe County, but passable all Hie way.
i J 1'. (iibbs of the Guadalupe County
; < luim! er of Commerce has written Mr. Fur-
lung that that organization is now under
process of reorganization, although nt tills
time it is without a highway department.
I It is the intention of Mr. (vibbs to form
! such a department, which will be so elastic
I as to inke care of all the roads of tbe
county and the streets In the City of Se-
guin.
| Writing of this, Mr. Glbbs said: Till the
citizens, however, are coming to realize
the great advantage of properly construct-
ed highways, and we all hope to see this
section of the country progress In the good
work."
Ill reply Mr. Furlong extended the use of
us department and his personal services
!!' •lorinatloii of such a department.
Should be he called upon, It Is the Inten-
tion of Mr, Furlong to submit the plans
and systems on which he Is conducting the

ON SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Construction of the three public school
buildings, which was tied up last week
by the walkout of union bricklayers and
plusterers, will be resumed Monday morn-
ing with crews of nonunion workmen, ac-
cording to the contractors.
E. W. Oefflngcr, contractor for the
4-rooiu building on Hunstock Avenue, stat-
ed yesterday that a full crew of nonunion
bricklayers and plasterers had been ob-
tained and the work would lie rushed to
conclusion as fast as possible. Wright .V
Sanders, contractors for the 8-room build
lug on Beacon Hill and the 4-rooui struc-
ture on Hillcrcst Avenue, arc also un-
derstood to have obtained a crew of non-
union workmen.
Union plasterers and bricklayers were
taken off the work at these places, fol
lowing refusal of the contractors to sign
an agreement not to accept contracts in
the future, where nonunion electricians
were to be employed, according to Mr. Oef-
flngcr.
The Open Shop Association stated Satur
day that enough nonunion plusterers and
bricklayers were available to permit re-
