TERRIFIC TOLL IS PAID HURRICANES IN CARIBBEAN AREA

Thousands of Lives Lost, Huge Property Damage Caused on Isles. Bij United Pres WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—Hurricanes have scourged countries of the Caribbean area since the beginning of history, and the fact that these nations always have been able to recuperate physically and economically after each is tribute to their courage and stamina. From Columbus’ first voyage in 1492 until 1855, there occurred 355 hurricanes of sufficient violence to be recorded in standard histories of the Antilles. During the last half century, 316 West Indian hurricanes have been systematically recorded and classified by United States weather experts. A few major catastrophes through the centuries follow: In 1508, Santo Domingo, scene of the present disaster, was struck by a hurricane, houses were wrecked and twenty vessels destroyed. Three Storms Take Toll The year 1642 was marked by three terrific hurricanes in the West Indies, and twenty-three vessels were wrecked on the coast of St. Kitts. In 1650 the island of Guadeloupe was devastated. Barbadoes, in 1674, experienced a hurricane which blew down 300 houses, killed 200 and wrecked eight ships in the harbor. The town of Port Royal, in Jamaica, was hit by a hurricane in 1722 which wrecked twenty-six vessels and killed 400. The storm recorded in history as “the most terrible cyclone that ever occurred," and still referred to as ‘ the great hurricane,” occurred in October, 1780. Starting at Barbadoes, where trees and houses were all blown down, it moved northward ot Santa Lucia, where it engulfed an English fleet, and buried 6,000 people beneath ryins on that island. Next it swept Martinique, where it destroyed a French fleet of forty ships carrying 4,000 soldiers. The hurricane sank ships as far north as Bermuda. Cuba Hard Hit In 1791 a combined hurricane and flood in Cuba destroyed the Royal tobacoo mills and killed 257 persons. Probably the-most persistent hurricane ever reported was that in 1899. which swept the Leeward and Virgin islands, Porto Rico, the Bahamas, and part of the United States coast. It lasted more than a month. *The United States weather bureau has kept a systematic record of hurricanes over the period 1879-1928, ' which was analyzed by Charles L. Mitchell, meteorologist, in an official publication. v He found that the number of hurricanes varies greatly from year to year, for unknown causes. The least in a year was one in 1890, and the greatest number, sixteen in 1887. During the first twenty-five years—--1879-1903—there were 174. and during the second twenty-five-year period—l9o4-1928—142.

Lenon that unexpected developments were imminent in the investigation of the murder of 8-year-old Marverine Appel was followed late today by intimation that her slayer may be in police custody within twenty-four hours.

They were made more probable with assertion >of Coroner C. B. Crumpacker that the attack and murder may have been committed by a boy from 12 to 16, and hints from the detective bureau that the girl’s home finally may yield the key to the mystery shrouding her death. - - There is said to be some evidence

Alls Fair Here Are Some Unusual Items About Indiana’s Great Exposition.

IF a bill had been presented in the basement of the Woman’s building Thursday favoring an appropriation of $250,000 for anew state fair grand stand it would have passed with the rapidity of a holder of a pair of deuces in a poker game. For by the time state legislators had finished a dinner, given in their honor by the agricultural board, heard innumerable talks favoring a new grand stand, and then been “boomed” with a flashlight photo that shook the basement, they were in a fair way of passing anything pertaining to the fair. u n tt “Howdy, Guv-nor,” with pats on the back, were the greetings given Warren T. McCray, former Governor of Indiana, as he walked around the state fair’s “main stem” Thursday. a tt a Starke and Kosciusko counties fought for the Farm Bureau quartet prize t oday.

Approval of the county council’s action in slashing $207,000 of the budgets of institutions and offices was expressed in a statement issued today by William H. Book, head of the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Book’s recommendations to the council called for a decrease of 3 cents in the 1931 county tax rate. The council pared expenses to within % cent of Book’s recommendations, fixing the county levy at 35 Vt cents on each SIOO of taxable property. - “County officials were painstaking in their study of. the budgets, and they are to be commended on the result achieved,” the statemen said.

Newcastle officials,' on receipt of an ultimatum that the plant be completed not later than Sept. 15, 1931, and that plans be submitted within ten days, declared they were at a loss to determine their action and pointed out that the city in order to carry out the work, would be compelled to bond itself beyond the amount allowed by law. The plant, it is estimated, would cost $500,000. Kokomo’s attitude will probably be fonpulated at a session of the city council Sept. 15. The board ordered awarding of a contract not dater than March 1, 1931. Cost is variously estimated from §300,000 to §500.000. m

OLD FRIENDS TURN AGAINST DRYJEAGUE Anti-Saloon Organization to Face Bitter Conflicts in ► Several States. HITS MRS. M’CORMICK Attitude Taken in Illinois May Doom Hopes of Woman Candidate. Bu Scripps-fTowardXewspaprr Alliance - WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—For the first time in many years the AntiSaloon League today finds *itself facing political repudiation in many states where it once dominated one or both the major political parties in naming candidates and framing platforms. It virtually has been forced into the role of a punitive organization, bent on running its own independent nominees in an effort to frighten the politicians back into line. More important still, it now is on the outside looking in as far as the Republican party is concerned, although it w-as among this group outside the south that it once exercised tremendous power. Even the extreme attitude of the Hoover administration on “the noble experiment" has been powerless to keep G, O P. organizations and prominent candidates from indorsing the wet cause or offer- ' ing to abide by popular referenda on the subject. Representative Ruth McCormick, Republican senatorial - candidate in Illinois, is the latest to develop a • coolness toward the professional 'prohibitionists, but others more closely associated with the dry cause set her the precedent. Jones and Walsh Weaken

Senator Wesley Jones (Rep., Wash.), author of the five-and-ten “law; Senator Walsh <Dem„ Mont.), the drys’ great lawyer in the senate, and Senator Sheppard (Dem., Tex.), author of the eighteenth amendment itself, have declared they would obey the mandates of their states. The drys’ predicament is evidenced by the fact that they may place a prohibition candidate in the field ih retaliation against Mrs. McComfick, which is in striking contrast to the silence with which they met similar statements by the other three advocates of prohibition. Though they supported the feminine candidate for the senate in the primary, and her opponent, exSenator J. Ham Lewis, is a "wringing wet," they feel called upon to punish through her all who agree to vote “wet” at behest of the voters. They did not, however, declare war on Walsh, Sheppard and Jones. This is interpreted by the “wets” aa evidence that they look for Illinois to vote against prohibition, as it did once before, and for Mrs. McCormick to be numbered among the political foes of the dry laws if she reaches the senate. Fear Sentimental Effect It is believed the drys also fear the effect on more than 100 middle west members of congress that her change of sentiment would have. For the first woqyyj to enter the senate as an advocate of repeal would be regarded as both a political and sentimental blow at prohibition. The punitive nature of their movement against her is seen in the possibility that it may elect Lewis. Any serious division of the Republican vote in the rural sections of the state might enable the Democratic candidate to slide through to victory on the votes of Democrats and Republican “wets.” Should the drys’ tactics result in the defeat of Mrs. McCormick, it probably would cause retaliation by the Republican organization, including her friends and the “wets," as it did when they defeated exSenator Wadsworth in New York in 1926. In any event, the league seems bound to offend elements which previously have supported its aims in the Illinois legislature and at Washington. Fights Dwight Morrow In New Jersey, too, the league i9 bucking the regular Republican organization with its oppposition to the senatorial ambitions of ambassador Dwight Morrow. Even Representative Franklin Fort, who lost to Morrow in the primary, has declared he would suppress his extreme prohibition views and support the nominee. The league’s efforts in that state are said to have given offense to thousands who once approved its general program. The anti-salooners also have gained the. hostility of a powerful Republican faction in Colorado, where it is supporting William V. Hodges in the Republican senatorial primary, Sept. 9, and the state superintendent has been charged with selling wildcat oil stock. The group attacking the league includes Clarence C. Hamlin, national committeeman, and influential backers of George H. Shaw, who is said to have the favor of the utility interests in his race against Hodges. Wadsworth has mobilized his forces against the drys’ attempted domination of the New York Republican convention, to be held late this month. The former senator has declared he would not support the G. O. P. candidate for Governor if he were a dry or ran on a dry platform. Representative F. H. La. Guardia also has announced he would seek re-election as an “independent," rather than a Republican if his party catered to the league* Miller Estate Opened ANDERSON, Ind., Sept, 5.—ThS estate of Harry L.
