3 ARE KILLED AS HURRICANE SWEEPS CUBA Storm Heads Toward Texas After Causing Great Damage on Island. FIVE LOOTERS SLAIN Towns Are Flooded. Houses Are Razed by Terrific Force of Wind. RV LAWRENCE HAAS I nited Press st*ff Correso^ndent HAVANA Sept. 2 A hurricane moved across the Gulf of Mexico toward Texas today, after ripping a path from east to west over Cuba, causing great damage, but taking little toll of life. Though communication with some provincial towns still was seveied. reports to date showed only three known dead. Seventy-three persons w f ere in hospitals here. The heaviest death list was that of looters. Soldiers killed five in Havana streets, determined that theft should not add to the loss of hurricane victims. One man was killed by a fall from a roof here, and iwo men were killed at Santa Clara. Weather Forecasts Help Twentieth century efficiency of weather forcasters made it possible to check ear hmile as the hurricane moved westward, and added to the drama of its irresistible progress. Reports of damage began reaching Havana, in the western portion of the Island, Friday morning. The wind swept through the provinces of Camaguev, Santa Clara, and Matanzas, ripping down trees on plantations, unroofing more solidly built houses, felling telegraph and telephone poles, and demolishing sharks of the poor. Rivers rose and a number of towns were partly flooded. Rains and black clouds preceded the full hurricane winds. Communication lines stood up long enough to give ample warning, and damage was lessened because windows and doors were secured and small boats were beached. Large ones, in hiding the Cunarder Mauretania, hove to and rode out the winds. Waters Sweep Promenade The storm hit Havana at 1 p. m. The sixty-mile wind rose to ninetyeight miles, and gusts were reported as high as 162 miles an hour. Telephones were dead. Light#went out. The waters of the gulf rose with alarming rapidity and swept over the Malecon. the waterfront promenade at the northw est corner of the city near the presidential palace. Across the narrow harbor entrance the waves roared up on Morro castle. In the city they lapped their way for blocks in toward the broad Prado, and halted there. By 5:30 p m. the wind was abating. leaving many persons marooned in the Malecon-Prado area. Streets Are Littered Streets were littered with glass and foliage. Roofs of some buildings eaned crazily down oward the street Police, soldiers, and members of the ABC revolutionary society turned out into the streets at once o prevrn looing. Relief was organized hasily but efficiently. The government was organizing truck caravans and trains to take food and medical supplies to stricken provincial towns.

Taxi War Flares; Three Cabs Damaged and Driver Is Robbed

Six persons are under arrest as result of a taxicab rate war which flared early today, causing damage to three cabs and ten instances of call box tampering. Police were instructed at roll call today to take drastic action to end the disorder. One cab driver reported he was beaten and robbed of $1.70. The strife is believed the result of a rate cut put into effect Friday bv the Hoosier Cab Company, as its machines and boxes were the only ones molested. “Anywhere in the city for 45 cents” is the maximum charge of the Hoosier company, based on a rate schedule of 15 cents for the first two miles, and 10 cents for each two-thirds mile thereafter, but with

SLEEPING DEATH T CAUSE FOUND Woman Is Reported to Have Discovered Source of Encephalitis. BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Corr^nondent ST. LOUIS. Sept. 2.—Discovery of the cause of encephalitis, which has defied some of the world's leading scientists, has been made by a woman pathologist, Dr. Margaret G. Smith, assistant professor at Washington university medical school, according to an announcement of the St. Louis Medical Society today. Hope was heightened that the valiant fight of health experts seeking to check the spreading epidemic here was bringing results, as no additional deaths were reported today. This marked the first time in more than two weeks that no new deaths were reported. The death list for the month during which the sleeping sickness epidemic became widespread climbed to fifty-three Friday. The number of new patients, averaging near the forty mark daily, dropped impressively today, as only eighteen additional cases were ordered to isolation wards. Today's victims brought the total of those stricken since July 30 to an even 400. HOURLY' TEMPER ATI RES 6 a. m 66 8 a. m 71 7 a. m 67 9 a. m 74 10 a. m 75

$125,000 Taken Off Fund for Old Age Pensions Despite arguments of county commissioners, the Marion count? council lopped $125,000 off the proposed appropriation of $400,000 foi old-age pensions in Marion county.

The cut. reported today by Dow Vorhies. county commissioner, reduced the coumv levy 2 cents. Seieral oouncilmen battled to reduce the appropriation one-half, or to $200,000. but compromised on $275,000. when commissioners protested the excessive -lash. Formal sessions of the council will begin Tuesday for consideration of the budget. Protests Start Tuesday Taxpayers desiring to protest increases in the tax rate and budget boosts will be " heard beginning Tuesday. The formal meetings are expected to consume the entire week, while the council attempts to lower the tax rate from 76 cents to 50 or 55 cents. Vorhies declared that the council viewed with favor the $74,000 increase in the commission's own budget for food and maintenance of county institutions. Rising prices were held as responsible for the increased cost of operating county institutions. May Borrow Money In cutting the old age pension appropriation, the county will depend on borrowing money if necessary to make payments until the state pays its one-half of the estimated cost of the pension. By permitting a $275,000 appropriation to be levied upon taxpayers, it is hoped that in two or

Under a canopy of gray skies, which failed to dismay the crow'ds, Indiana's eighty-first annual state fair opened its gates at 6 a. m. today with the largest number of | exhibits in its history. Bowing its head to none as the finest exhibition of its kind in the ! world, the fair w’as expected to be attended by crowds larger than those of the' last few years. This belief was substantiated by the fact that the supply of 50,000 advance sale tickets was exhausted at noon Friday for the first time in the fair history, exceeding by 11,000 the former high mark for advance ticket sales. Club Day at Fair Today was boys and girls’ club day at. the fairgtound, children 12 and under being admitted free. Boys and girls will be on the free list again Sunday, children's day, and Tuesday.

ARCHEOLOGISTS WORK ON RUIN 1,500 YEARS OLD • Land Deeded to Arizona University for Research. By United Preset TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. J.—Seven j acres of land, on which is located ! an Indian ruin 1,500 years old, have j been deeded to the University of i Arizona, that archeologists may continue their work. Already artifacts of bygone days and the actual walls, floors, posts and other building features of the Indians’ homes have been uncovered. “The ruin is especially important, because it contains two quite distinct types of homes,” Dr. Byron Cummings, director of the university archeology department, said. “The two periods are represented by the pit houses, which have been excavated partially, and which date back about 1,500 years, and the surface pueblo, unexcavated, which probably dates back 800 or 1,000 I years.” DOOM PARIS LANDMARK Mansion Built for Louis XIY’ Ballet Organizer to Be Razed.

CODE TO OPEN. NEW ERA FOR UNIONMINERS Peace Treaty to Be Handed President on His Return Next Week. END CHECKOFF SYSTEM Evils of Company Houses and Scrip Also Will Be Eliminated. BY FRED H. KURY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 2—A peace ; treaty for capital and labor in the coal industry, with many new’ personal privileges for miners, will be ready for President Roosevelt when he steps ashore from the yacht Nourmahal here Monday night or Tuesday morning. These liberties, which meant a man’s job prior to NRA, come after hard-fought battles of their leaders, led by John Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers; Phillip Murray, international vice-president; and Pat Fagan, president of district No. 3. To gain them, the union men have given up one of their weapons, the checkoff system of collectingunion dues from the employers. Details of their victories w’ere revealed today. Although the code can not be quoted until it is approved by the President, it has been learned from indisputable authority that it will contain provisions to eliminate the coal and iron police, w’hose operations are bloody chapters in the history of coal. Company House Evil Ended Also out will go the operatorhired deputy sheriffs. The code as now written also provides that miners need no longer live in company houses to work in the coal fields. Deduction of rent from the pay envelopes that sometimes contained no money at all, and many times show’ed the worker ow’ed the operator a deficit at the end of a tw’o-w’eek period also will disappear. In the future a miner can live w'here he chooses. No longer will his bed and board be the choice w’eapons of the operators, for the New’ Deal provides that he can not be required to buy in company stores, where the prices for the meager fare of “sowbelly and hominy” kept the average miner in virtual peonage. Child labor must disappear entirely from the coal fields. The miner of the future will not be in a position to boast that he w'ent into the pits at the age of 12 or 14 to labor in the sputtering glare of a carbide lamp under conditions that made him an old man before he w'as 35. Age Limit Is 18 Under the code no one will be able to work below the surface before he is 18. The “trapper boy,” the stable boy, and the child loader or miner will disappeared as soon as the coal code, becomes effective. Another feature is that the miner must be paid in coin of the realm — i not scrip, w’hich formed a great total of the currency put into the pay envelopes of miners, particularly in the western Pennsylvania fields. If he did earn a surplus over his “store bill” and rent charges, the miner of the past was kept in bondage by scrip acceptable only at company stores, where charges often w’ere 30 to 60 per cent higher than the prevailing cash prices on the most necessary commodities. As the pick, shovel, black powder, carbide, and other necessities of the trade are furnished by the miners in some instances, th?y also were sold at exorbitant prices by company stores. This also is eliminated in the new | code. Checkoff Is Eliminated Universal recognition of the checkweighman, the man who weighs each miner’s output at the pit mouth, now’ becomes a fact. Under the code, the check-weighman no longer Will be a “company man,” but elected by the miners themselves, and paid by the company, to assure full credit for product of their labors. Officials of the miners* union, on the other hand, have sacrificed their claims to the famous “checkoff” system. That was the plan where the miner s dollar a month dues to the United Mine Workers w’as deducted from the envelopes and paid in bulk to the local labor organization leaders. In the future, the support of the miners’ union will be left solely in the hands of those who voluntarily pay at the end of each month. All these new privileges will come to the miners coincidental with the celebration of Labor day.

BY' DELOS SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent FLOYD BENNETT FIELD, NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The spectaculai career of Francesco de Pinedo, daring aviator, ended in a burst of flames today, when his Bellanca monoplane crashed as he was taking off on a non-stop solo flight to Bagdad.

De Pinedo strove mightily to bring it back, but had lost control. The plane missed the administration building, w’here a number of spectators w’ere gathered on the plaza, and crashed against a steel fence. There was a flash of flame as the gasoline caught fire.

Shelby, are still in custody, and authorities announce that a confession by Allen, as well as that of Shelby, exonerates Peck. The confessions credited to Allen and Shelby seek to shift most of the murder blame upon the mystery man. Allen asserts that while the two women were being; attacked, in a bedroom of the home, he was in a barn searching: for money. But on her deathbed, Mrs. Schrader declared: “I placed my mark on him by scratching his arm." An arm of Allen bears such mark, authorities declare.
