THIRTY PERSONS STILL MISSING IN HURRICANE Life Toll May Exceed Nine Known Dead in Texas, Say Officials. By T'nilrd rm> HOUSTON, Tex., July 27.—Reports from Isolated communities, telling of persons missing or injured. caused fear toda> the toll of life from Wednesday's hurricane and tidal wave on the Texas coast might rise above the nine known dead. Some thirty persons still were missing today as officials sought to complete the casualty list. Families seemed to have been singled out by the storm as it chose its victims. For example, Mrs. Neil Lewis, 40-year-old mother, Morales, Tex., lay critically injured while ar-

rangements were made for the funerals of her two sons. Harvey. 13. and Roland. 12. and her mother. Mrs. Sue George, 72. Property damage was listed in hundreds of thousands of dollars, but because of the amount of territory covered by the storm, accurate estimates were impossible. Damaged homes and ruined crops and lost boats accounted for most of the damage. REORGANIZATION ASKED FOR PHONE COMPANY Southern Indiana Firm Bankrupt, Petitioners Say. Alleging that the Southern Indiana Telephone and Telegraph Company is insolvent and owes at least $1,560,000. a petition filed in federal court yesterday asks for reorganization of the concern under the new federal bankruptcy act. Petitioners are Harry O. Garman and Earl L. Carter, local engineers, and the Decatur County Independent Telephone Company, creditors. George M. Barnard. Newcastle, is federal receiver for the company. The company provides telephone service for thirteen southern Indiana counties.

Dillinger Sr. observed ! his seventieth birthday at his \ Mooresville home today reading letters of condolence and missives , from publicity-seeking strangers and worrying about the weeds on i his farm that needed mowing. At the Crown Hill cemetery here two bored policement guarded | the grave of his infamous son ! against crowds of curious who sought to snatch bits of souvenirs from the plot. A note, believed to have been left by a prankster, was found beneath

a stone at the grave late yesterday. It read: ‘‘l am going to get her. John. So long, old boy. J. H.” * The initials are those of John Hamilton, trigger man for the Dillinge gang. It is believed a wit wished to infer that the Dillinger gang intended to put Mrs. ‘‘Anna Sage.” the “woman in red"—said to be the one who tipped authorities to Dillinger's whereabout—on the "spot.” City detectives, however, took the
