MAY ASK FOR OUTSIDE AID.


st. Louis, June "A mass meeting
of citizens will be held this afternoon to
consider the advisability of appealing
for outside aid for the relief of the
sufferers from last weeks tornado
The call for the meeting was signed by
number of prominent Germans,
South broadway merchants and resi-
dents of the devastated portions of
south st. Louis. 1t states that the loss
of propert is greater than was at first
supposed, it being estimated at S20,-
600, 600. For this reason. the call con-
tinues, assistance is sorely needed, and
the generous offers of numerous cities
of this and foreign countries should
not be declined. The mayor and many
other business men, however, believe
that the situation does not demand an
appeal for outside aid. Up to last even
ing it was thought fifty patients were
in the ruins of the city hospital. which
was demolished by the tornado. To-
day every man, woman and child who
was in the institution, either as nurse,
doctor, patient or attendant has been
accounted for. Michael Dunn was the
only patient killed outright by the
storm. Some have died since, but only
a few from actual injuries received.
The list of persons missing since the
storm is still remarkably long. At
present the police have about 12O
names Of persons who cannot be ac-
counted for, and it is probable that
some of these may yet be found under
the ruins. 1t has been believed from
the first that at least thirty persons
lost their lives by being blown into the
river, and only three of them have
been recovered thus far. The local
relief fund is now far beyond the S1O0,
600 mark. The extent of the tornado's
disastrous work here and in East st.
Louis has overshadowed the losses sus-
tanned in adjacent towns in Missouri
and Illinois, and no accurate list of
the killed has been made. A careful
compilation from all sources places the
number of killed at 46; injured IS, and
property loss $3.50, 900, in towns out
side of st. Louis and East st. Louis.
