E. E. SCHLECHTER, WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN KILLED (CONT.NUBn FHOM I'AGK ONB) to whether their home was destroyed. John Schug. son of Mrs. William Schug, of Berne, who has been located near Belle Glade, Florida, sent a message to his mother announcing his safety. In the message. Mr. Schug stated that those who were with him were nowhere to be found, and it is believed that he referred to the Schiechter family at that time, but was hesitant about breaking the sad news until more certainty had been established. After the previous heavy winds which swept through southern Florida, a few weeks ago. the Schiechter family wrote to relatives here remarking that they had been very fortunate and had lost only their chickens. It is presumed that burial of the bodies have already been made before members of the family could reach the location. Rescue workers, in a catastrophe of this sort, usually bury bodies as soon as found and identified, even without embalming them or seeking a cemetery, in an effort to prevent disease and epidemics. GREAT WELCOME GIVEN TO SMITH IN SOUTHWEST tCOMTISCKn FKOM P»6B OSB) derby and shaking hands with crowds that gathered at short stops. The largest demonstration was in Lincoln, Neb., a Republican stronghold, where he went to see Gov. Adam McMullen, Republican. The climax, however, was at Topeka. Kansas, the home town of Senator Charles Curtis, viceipresidential candidate. A delegation of about 50 Democrats got on' the train at Manhattan and rode to Topeka. At Topeka, there were between 10.006 and 15,000 persons. Observers said the demonstration was larger than that for Curtis at the home-coming celebration after his nomination. The Smith train stopped only a few minutes and although a speakers’ stand had been erected, Smith declined to make an address. The Democratic candidate left the farmbelt with a challenge from Governor McMullen who suggested that he say later just what he thought of the equalization fee, the so-called "heart" of the McNary-Haugen bill. McMullen had given Herbert Hoover a conditioned endorsement but had said he would wait until Smith s Omaha speech before definitely stating his position. Whether he goes any further probably will depend upon the Democratic candidate's tuture statements on farm relief.

The situation became so grave that commercial firms turned over their trucks to the National Guard, which has taken charge of clearing the street. City officials have no trurVs available. Known deaths from the various sections were listed as follows; Patillas 19. Adjuntas 2, Aibonito 19, Barranquetas 4. Maniti 3, Gurbo 4, Utiiado 80, Cayey 42, San Bebastian 26. More than 700,000 persons—halt the population of the island are homeless. The Porto Rico Railway, Light and Power Co. was damaged to the extent of $3,000,000, its two big plants at Comerio have been destroyed. The company will be unable to give service for weeks. In Aibjnito, 4t was reported that 456 tobacco ranches had been destroyed and that 806 persons were homeless. Emergency committees are being organized throughout the island, and meanwhile the Red Cross is sending help to the Mayors of the various towns.

NEGROES RIOT i IN FLORIDA TOWN ■ I Officials Os Pahokee Ask < For Military Assistance; Epidemics Feared Washington, Sept. 20.—(U.R)—Rioting of negtoes in tlie hurricane devastated town of Pahokee. Fla., caused officials to ask for military assistance, Dr. A. T. Eide, of the Haines City Red Cross reported, to National Red Cross headquarters today. Only that meager word was received, but previous reports from Patokee had described briefly the wretchedness of the negroes refugees there, and had emphasized the urgency of relief measures. Still another problem confronted Red Cross relief workers today in the fear that epidemics would ravage the hurricane-torn areas. It was necessary, because of this danger, for workers in the Palin Beach and Lake Okeechobee regions to bury bodies without identification. /'Bodies are coming to the surface along the lake.” A. L. Schafer, Red Cross relief director in Florida reported. “Necessary to bury bodies without identification. New negro cemetery established at Uixahatchie. 16 miles west of Palm Bead*’ Survivors Being Evacuated Survivors of ( the devastated areas are being evacuated as rapidly as possible. Dr. Eide, a Red Cross physician reported after a survey by boat of the east side of Lake Okechobee in which he was accompanied by Dr. Arms, state health officer. Dr. Eide sfiid 250 persons were dead in the vicinity he visited and they had discovered 47 bodies in one place on a road. He said these were in bad shape. "At Pahokee, out of a population of 3.000," Eide said, “twenty-five hundred are homeless. Six hundred are being sheltered in a school house. The area south to Miami Locks, including Kramers Island, was devastated. The loss probably will mount to several hundred.” The road to Palm Beach was washed out and traffic conditions were becoming very bad and Dr. Eide suggested that relief expeditions be sent by boat although the Seaboard Airline railway may be opened tomorrow. Schaefer said the best available estimates indicated 15.000 persons were homeless and destitute in Palm Beach county. Two refugee camps have been established with a combined capacity of 1,500 persons and other thousands are at 12 centers in West Palm Beach and 18 centers in rural areas. West Palm Beach city water was fit to diink today and milk was being imported from Miami. It was estimated that food supplies on hand are sufficient for four days with additional food stocks available at Jacksonville and Miami. “I believe the original estimate of property damage of $30,000,000 was not over-stated,’’ Schaefer said, "as every building (presumably in West Palm Beach) is damaged and possibly between 20 and 25 per cent of the i buildings are a total loss."
