HOUSTON, July 2G Keven persons were known to be dead, another was believed to have drowned when his boat capsized, and a number were missing today in the wake of the destructive gulf hurrl- eano which battered the Texas coast and caused millions of dollars in damage to crops and communications. Searching parties plodded through the muddy, debris-strewn ruins of isolated coastal villages and used hoats along the shore trying to locate the bodies of fishermen and others believed carried away by a mighty tidal wave as the storm con-- tered its fury on a 100-mile stretch of coast.

1 Just how many lives were lost may not be known for days as many sections of the stricken coastal regions are sparsely settled and desolate. Among the known dead wore five killed when the storm, tearing Inland 60 miles, struck the Jackson-co town of Morales. In trie Matagorda Bay region, ten persons were ut first reported mivs- Mig, but eight of them were lhonuht to be safe. Six fishermen caught on Matagorda Peninsula apparently weathered the storm, as did two of four fishermen caught on Matagoida Pay. The other two had not been found.

The prosperous little farming village of near Bay City, was devastated and in its vicinity more than 17 persons were missing.

Walsh. For the most part, residents of the city were unaffected by the orders, which prohibited movement of commercial trucks except necessities, unless by permit, and forbade outdoor gatherings of more than 100 persons unless officially permitted. City and county law enforcement authorities were subordinated' to military, but civil courts will function as usual.

July and government troops battled in a desper- ate civil war in the southern provinces tonight as the colleagues of the slain Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss carried on his battle against the group that took his life. With machine guns and artillery as well as small arms the government forces regular army and Heimwehr fought ruthlessly. to dislodge Nazis from their strongholds, and men tell'dead and wounded by the hundreds. Reports of the number killed piled up until It appeared that at least 300 lives had been lost, and-many rebels and loyal soldiers were maimed.

As Austria fought rebels within the borders, across two frontiers foreign soldiers stood In war-like accoutrements, watching the conflict. On the Italian border 48,000 soldiers of Premier Mussolini were ready to dash in to protect, if need be, the Independence of Austria under the leadership of Prince Ernst Von Starhcrnbcrg, standing in Dpll- fuss' stead. Nazis Think Coup Success Many of the the farms of the hinterlands fought without knowledge that the government w-as still in the hands of tho Fascists. They thought that yesterday's putsch at Vienna overthrew the government and placed Dr. Anton Hintclen, pro-Nazi, at the head of a new cabinet.

The government was not uniformly successful against the Nazis, although it appeared from reports reaching here that the rebels were losing ground. In Styria first reports said "SO were dead, and other casualties were reported from various sectors. Artillery was into action for the first, time since the civil war in February as the farmers in the provinces of Styria ami Carinthia mobilized in great numbers.

But ilie Caley suit argues thst use of these funds for any function than highway improvement is unconstitutional.

July 26 Mus- solini today sent 48,000 troops, fully equipped for war-time service, to the Austrian frontier.
