party, headed by Fred Stuck, circulation manager of the Palm Beach Post, placed the total known dead in the Everglaties section at 600 and the nrissing at 1,200. They were based on a statement made by Frank Hallo-way, road contractor of Belle Glade, to S. W. Hiatt, Palm Beach county farm agent. The report of the party who made the survey was that many bodies would never be recovered, and that these would be principally the bodies of negroes who resided in the low dike and cultivated farm lands near Lake Okeechobee.

The reason that fewer white persons were drowned than negroes, is that most of the whites lived in the ridge or high lands. This party buried nine negroes eight miles west of Pahokee and reported that 14 more bodies of negroes were seen. West Palm Beach authorities are protesting the bringing of bodies here for interment. Not only is it insanitary to bring the bodies into the city In their present condition. they argue, but West Palm Beach cemeteries are becoming glutted.

It would also save much time and needless transportation if proper disposition is made in the Everglades. Crernation of the bodies is urged as the proper method of disposition, if it is found impossible to bury them. Undertaking establishments in charge of the burials here reported 31 identified white persons and 250 negroesb under ground in the Wood lawn white cemetery and the negro cemeteries. Eleven white persons and two negroes were sent out of the RittaMiami Locks section yesterday for burial at Moore Haven. Twenty negroes were buried in Miami Locks.

All of these bodies were positively identified. according to Sheriff R. C. Baker of Palm Beach county, and desigAted by numbers and a stake bearing the name and number of each person was driven into the ground beside the body, so identification may be kept permanent. Bodies sent to Moore Haven for burial were the following: M.

M. Hall, age about 65, a resident of Ritta for 42 years, and Mrs. Ball, Mary Thomas, Richard Thomas. Mrs. Hughes, H.

W. James and Mr. McCraney, believed to be from Clewiston. The two negroes sent to Moore Haven for burial were B. B.

Cheney, 60, and Richard Brown, believed to be from Miami. Negroes buried at Miami Locks included the following: Carrie Thomas, Norleen Taylor, Hinzey, 5 years, Gertrude Lightburn, Abraham O'Neill, L. C. Robinson. Charles Lightburn, Ferris Robinson, Zemiah Hinzey, Charlie Johnson, Maida Robinson, Mildred.

Lavine, Drusilla, Dorothy and Eliza Robinson, George Thomas, believed to be of Fort Myers, E. WilLams, Edward Smith and M. Silas. 1 Two hundred bodies have been collected at Pahokee, according to a report given to the military authorities here last night, when a request was made by this pity for SO negroes 1 and 20 white men to assist in general I clean-up service. 2 Legionnaires of Sanford have volunteered for this duty.

Re- I port that 54 bodies had been buried at South Bay was received by the relief committee of the Red Cross last I night, but it is not known if these bare been identified or whether they are whites or negroes. Belle Glade also sent in a request to the relief committee for 200 negroes to aid in cleaning off the grounds in the center of the city. the waterfront and in generally restoring the city to sanitary conditions. Unless these I men were sent out, the request said. the region must be evacuated within' I a few days, as rescue workers are finding conditions unbearable, and rapidly growing worse.

Airplanes were used in this section yesterday in searching for refugees and bodies. Maj. R. N. Ward of Miami, in charge of the military forces of the Palm Beaches, said last night.

Rescue of an 11-year-old girl at Pahokee 'who had been clinging to a tree branch since Sunday night, and I a negro who waded, and swam to the i city from more than five miles away, 8 was reported. Retrieving the dead proceeded rapidly, it was said, and 3 bodies were ready for transportation by noon. Three outboard motor boats went into Belle Glade yesterday morning with provisions and trained nurses. These were sent from Miami and expected to be a valuable addition to the rescue forces. Brig.

Gen. Vivian 33. Collins, adjutant general of Flew- Ida, who is here personally inspecting the situation, severely censured the action of some individual who an- mounced martial law for the small towns that have been stricken. It is .1 working a hardship on the residents of these cities and should never have been attempted. Gov.

John W. Martin Is expected here today, and will confer with offi- dials and then decide whether martial 8 law should be invoked. In the strict ..11 sense of the word, neither Palm Beach nor West Palm Beach is yet under ar military rule, but the militia are lend- 1- ing supplemental aid to the civil au- a thorities. Doyle E. Carlton, Democratic nominee for governor.

is also expected here today to make a surrey of the cl situation. It is understood to be Mr. Canton's plan to inspect thoroughly the devastated regions and learn the cause of the calamity and consider 8 how to prevent a recurrence, upon 0 becoming chief executive of the state. 0, West Palm Beach is rapidly beiog in itt of Eczema 0 Sores Tetter 0 Or What Have You?

Places of business have been cleaned up, restaurants display fresh linen laundered in Miami laundries. Planks have been nailed over windows lacking plate glass, and all are proclaiming businees as usual.

Kerosene and stoves are taking the place of gas cookers, and the city gas supply le expected to be ready for use today. Water mains and plant equipment has been patched up and the city is being supplied. Streets- of the city are still unlighted. but 100 men and officials of the Florida Power lc Co. arrired here yesterday to begin reconstruction of power and iight lines and 400 mere are expected.

About 100 officials and men of the Western Union Telegraph Co. arrivzil last night to begin repair of lines south of the city. A. L. Winn, district plant superintendent, is in charge of the crews.

A. T. Amos. gang clerk, said the crews bad been busy for two days on lines leading from Fort Pierce into this city and communication bad been reestablished. Lines north, of Fort Pierse are in good condition.

NO inspection.has been made-of the lineel south of Fort Pierce, but-At its known they are down in many places and will probably take three or four days te repair. Despite the disadvantage under which it has been laboring, the Western Union early established communication with the outside world by sending messengers to carry telegram" through to the north. Wires northward are now being used, bowover, although the messenger service between here and Miami is being maintained through the cooperation of bile lines, with busses leaving every half-bout. Many streets of the city, especially In the business sections, have besn cleaned up by volunteer crews. Iniividual light lines have been run to public utilities, relief stations and those houses where they are considered absolutely eseential.

Newspapers of the city staged a remarkable comeback, The Palm Beach Post missed only one edition, although it had to set up the type by hand to get it out. The Palm Beach Times came out with an abbreviated edition on the day after the storm and is now publishing its paper regular size. Military authorities have the situation well in band here and also in Okeechobee City, Brig. Gen. Collins and Major Ward.

commanding the military forces, announce. Troops will be withdrawn from the Lake Okeechobee region today, It was said. Company of the Florida national guard of Miami arrived at 9 a. no. today.

There are 161 men and 11 officers in the city, with the exception of the Miami troops. Col. Sumter L. Lowry is in charge of 200 men posted the Lake Okeechobee region. In West Palm Beach there is a medteal detachment from Sanford.

headed by Maj. Ralph E. Sterens, Capt. A. W.

Knox and Capt. C. P. Yeomans, consisting of 22 men and comprising the medical corps of the 124th infantry. Machine gun company of Sanford also is here ender the command of Capt.

J. C. Hntchineon. There are about 50 men in this organization. Company A of tile Florida national guard, under the command of Capt.

T. Peurcolte in command. Five vesszde are already here from coast guard bace 6 of Fort Lauderdale. The C. G.

1 130 anchored here to await orders. Boatswain Teurcolte announced that Fernandina suffered slightly from the hurricane, The barometer dropping to 1 2S.95 and a 75-mile wind littering the streets with debris and toppling over trees. Coast guard base 20 suffered the loss of two veesels here as the re-suit of the storm, Boetewain Tearcolte said. There were the C. G.

LSS 1 I and the C. G. both 75-foot pa! trol boats, valued at $40,000 eaeh, which were piled up high and dry. Ordinances were dismantled yesterday and the engines are to be taken out in the hope of getting the craft brack to the water. But there is little hope of salvaging them without severe loss.

The Upshur of the Merchants Miners line arrived in port here yesterday morning, but put again at 1 p. m. for Miami, because all of the warehouses and docks have been carried away. Port authorities offeret. to construct temporary storage facilities, but it was decided that it would take less time to unload by going to Miami.

'Orders were issued by the military authorities last night to ban curiosity seekers from Deerfield and Stuart. Persons without a reasonable excuse for being there will not be allowed in these towns, according to Major Ward. But while West Palm Beach le staging a rapid comeback from the storm, Palm Beach is having its Damages there are placed at 115,000,000 after a careful check by Chief Elmer Schultz. The largest loss appears to be expensiye furnishing in the homes of the nation's moat prominent and wealthy citizens, who make the city a winter playground. Chief Schultz' estimate is $3.000.000 less than the first estimate by Red Cross officials.

Their first estimate of loss for Palm Beach county -XIS $20,000,000, with loss in West Palm Beach of $10.000,000, but the latest estimate wired to the national headquarters of the Red Cross at Washington carried an estimate of 000,000 for the county, with 15.000 homeless and 8,000 without a change cd clothing. One of the inconveniences in Palm Beach is the odor of decaying tiah and vegetable matter. Water is said to be standing four feet deep in the Breakers hotel. Sand was said to be half a foot deep on the third floor just after the storm. Water from the ocean was blown into Lake Worth.

the wind was so strong in this section. The Royal Poinciana hotel is twisted and settled in one wing, according to Assistant Engineer Swanson of the Florida East Coast Hotel and may be condemned by the hotel commission and ita use disalllowed this year. It is the largest wooden frame hotel building in the world. Damage to this hotel and the Breakers has been estimated at 500,000. Both the Alba hotel, a 10- story structure, and the Royal Poinciana, seven stories, have been badly damaged by water and the interior furnishings ruined, according to Chief Schultz.

Bradley's club escaped serious damage. This is a favorite pleasure haunt of the nation's prominent people who winter at Palm Beach. A report from Tampa was received last night by radio at the Palm Beach fire station that the states grapefruit crop was injured three per cent and the orange crop seven per cent by the hurricane. Chief Schultz has I report that the cane crop at Canal Point where the Celotex plant is located is a total loss. Christ Friedman of South Chosen has said that the water rose in that vicinity four feet within a half hour.

We were in our house, which we thought so well built that it would withstand the blow and there were several of our neighbors with us. Near the height of the storm we saw we must make a run from it or the house would come down upon us. "When my wife and I got out of the house, we found ourselves in the teeth of a gale which felt like hot mustard shot into our faces. We tried to walk against the wind and could not. At first we did not think of crawling on the ground.

but one of the neighbors in the house cam. and told us to do that. Soon someone shouted the water was coming. We began to crawl toward high ground and just reached it in time. Once my wife blew away from my hold, but I somehow managed to get her again.

The Red Cross, bad shot out food supplies in all directions. The San Juan Chamber of Commerce had moved. to check profiteering and to extend credit.

Funds of $60,000 advanced by banks to the relief committee beaded by Justice Del Toro were placed in the hands of agencies for distribution in every island city and town- The San Juan relief fund is nearing the 000 mark. Col. George Helms, commanding the 63th U. S. infantry, was directing the distribution of army equipment, while his soldiers were aiding the Red Cross In moving the supplies which arrived on the transport Tuesday.

The San Juan Chamber of Commerce threatened to cut off both merchandise and credit to check wholesale and retail provision prices from further Increase. The organization pledged its members lenient credit and delay on collections where needed. It also appointed a committee to report promptly on comprehensive plans for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Aside from local needs, the chamber took the position that, as a $100,000,000 annual customer of continental United- States. Porto Rico must keep open for business.

A local political row delayed the emergence of San Juan from the wreckage of the hurricane. The municipal assembly refused to appropriate funds requested by Mayor Todd for use in the emergency. For some weeks the assembly bas been attempting to impeach him. The mayor now has appealed to the merchants to supply trucks without charge to remove; the garbage and debris which has cluttered the streets for a week.
