The dead. In addition to the thlrty-ilx pupils whose bodies had been recovered tonight, were the farmer, Andrew Kehoe, who served as treasurer of the school district; E. 2.

Huyck, the principal; Miss Hazel Weatherbee, third-grade teacher, Glen Smith. Bath postmaster, and Nelson McFarran. a Bath resident. The latter two were parsing the building at the time of the explosion. Search of the ruins was continued until darkness overtook the workers, after State police had estimated that irom a dozen to fifteen bodies remained to be located.

HOME AND DARN WRECKED The explosions at the school followed by only a short time a blast at the near-by farm home of Kehoe. The blast, and subsequent fire demolished tht Kehoe home and barn. Tie entlr north wing of the kchool, a three-story brick structure, was leveled by the blasts, which caught all of the pupils over their books or engaged In recreation periods In their rooms. Survivors described the explosion as an "awful crash" followed an instant later by the crashing of the walls and the falling of the ceilings. Many of the pupils were crushed at their desks, as the tons of bricks and beams crashed down.

FIENDISH PLANS MADE State police, probing in the tangled wreckage, found that elaborate preparations had been made for wrecking the building. The basement was criss-crossed with a network Of wires which were connected to more than 500 pounds of dynamite scattered in various places. Search 01 tne ruins was Interrupted for a time while un- exploded dynamite was removed. State police said Kehoe apparently bad car ried the dynamite into ths school building during the night, and ar rallied his wlrlne. He was teen to drive upt In his uu- tomoblle In front of the building soon after classes convened.

Com pleting his plans, he Is believed to have run a wire from hie automobile In which other explosives were stored, to the charges In the basement Rifle shells, several of which were found ar the battered automobile, served as fuses. At this point, witnesses said, Huyck ran from the building and grappled with the farmer, who set off the ex plosive by firing a rise into the rear or his automobile. The detontv'on which killed both Kehoe and Huycm set off the dynamite placed in the basement, burying the teachers and pupils under tons of debris. PANIC FOLLOWS Panic ensued among the school' children with the first rumble of the blast outside. Terrified, both teachers and pupils rushed to the exits, only to be caught beneath the fall ing walls and celling loosened by the second blast.

Miss Bernlce Sterling and Miss Evlyn Paul, two of the teachers, who escaped with only minor Injuries, described their recollections of the blasts. COMES WITHOUT WARNING "Without warning." Miss Sterling said, "this terrible explosion came. I saw the bodies of my children hurled against the walls or through the windows. Then I dont remember much what happened.

Msy 18. of twenty-seven towns In the path of the wall of water sweeping down the Atchafalaya basin tonight were being warned to flee their homes under Instructions Issued early tonight by Flood Relief Dictator John M. Parker.

Mr. Parker, basing his warning on a bulletin of the New Orleans Weather Bureau today charting the path of the flood through the section, had a corps of telephone operators speeding the message to the Inhabitants urging them speed the evacuation If they would save their belongings. There will be no forcible evacuation, but the message of the flood relief dictator strove to Impress upon the Inhabitants the seriousness of the flood dange- and the imminence of the threat. WATER TAKES LAST LINK Five hundred persons grouped on the nanow crown of the levees above Melville, today saw the last link connecting their home town with high ground, Bfcut off. A spnn of the Texas and Pacific bridge connecting Melville with the east bank of the Atchafalaya River collapsed, carrying to his death Tony PItalia.

a farmer. Pltalla and his son were crossing the bridge when it fell. The boy clung to a log and was rescued. Few persons, however, are left In the immediate path of the two expanding lakes of Aoyelles and St. Landry parishes tonight.

Fed by flood waters from crevasses In the Atchafalaya levees at Melville and In the Bayou Des daises ramparts, the lakes Joined at Big Bend to engulf virtually the whole of the two parishes, i -AtoWM itBSfERCED Spreading outward from the Bayou Des Olalses crevasse the flood submerged Morrow, Big Cane, Palmetto and Rosa. Opelousas. on a ridge In the Atchafalaya basin, was not in danger of being flooded. The breaks are 130 and 170 miles above New Orleans and on the opposite side of the river from this city. Port Barre, on the western edge of backwaters from the Melville crevasse, Is under six inches of water, which was rising rapidly.

Residents were being evacuated over the Texas and Pacific, although the track In the vicinity of the town is under water. Towns directly in the path of the flood are being evacuated more readily as spreads of the disastrous effects of the waters to the north. Krotz Springs, already with a foot and a half of watsr, is deserted. Evacuation camps at Opelousas are being Jammed with refugees. Quarters at La Fayette are being expanded to care for the influx expected as the flood sweeps down the valley.

Food and clothing became a problem at the Opelousas camp. A truck load of bread was carried there while women busied themselves In making coffee and sandwiches in their homes after the kitchens at the camp proved Inadequate to care for the food demand.

DOWN AWHILE a period of abnormal production, ga.ollne sold In some districts around New York for 10 cents a gallon. With in the past three weeks, during a brief pries war. Pacific Coast service stations were selling gasoline at 12 cents a gallon. The oil man said such occasions are rare, since the price, of 12 cents a gallon did not. cover the actual cost of moving the finished gasoline from the refinery Into the consumer's car.

when oil experts anticipated low prices for the summer. It was based entirely upon the fact that the United States has been producing between 100,000 and 200,000 barrels of crude oil each day in excess of consumption. The retail price or gaso'ine. tne oil man said, does not materially affect Its consumption. CONSUMPTION STABLE "The cost of a day's consumption of gasoline Is usually but a very small part, of the total expense of a tour or a day's outing," he said, "it never has been demonstrated that the amount of travel by motor In creases or decreases with fluctuations in the price of fuel." On the 9th in New York" City, the average price was 23 cents a gallon, compared with 25 cents a gallon March 9, last, and 24 cents a gallon on May 9, 1928.

The following table shows gasoline prices of those dates In ten representative cities and the State of Ohio: Residents Downstream Tohl to Flee as Flood Goes Swiftly on Way WILSON (Wyo.) May 18.

In the form of a wall of water twenty feet high that spread; over the banks of the stream until the river, at this point, wae one and one-half miles wide. No live wer lost in Wilson, for the telephone company, an independent line, had managed to Issue a warning of tht approaching flood.

It would not be a tourct of danger. The flood today was without warn-lng, as far as may be ascertained, and. Kelly was engulfed as the vast volume of water swept over the town.

100,000 acre feet of water. Mr. Bald-' win feels that this heart of water wilf not reach Idaho Falls In less than twenty-four hours, but expressed tht fear that It will do considerable dam- age to settlers along the Upper 8nakt River. After the Oros Ventre River enters the Snake there ts little chance for It to spread until It reaches Helsss, twenty-five miles above Idaho The water will be forced to pass' through the Great Canyon of tht Snake River for many miles, and It is believed that the greatest dam-; age will be done In the vicinity of. Lorenso and Menan, both a few mile north of Idaho Falls.

UP) Lady Astor. during discussion of the government's tradeJon bill, today had a verbal bout Jack Jones, the fiery labor member of the House of Commons, during which she told him to shut up while he told her to go back to America.
