TERRE HAUTE in RUINS

Terre Haute, Ind, March 24.-Eigh-
teen percons known to have been kill
| ed, $50 more or less seriously injured,
275 homes destroyed and other prop
erty damage estimated at nearly ST.
000,0 900 was the toll of the tornado
that devastated Terre Haute and vi
entity last night.
+! Tonight the officials in charge Of
the rescue work say the list of dead
will be increased as the searchers clear
away the debris of wrecked buildings
Hindu eds of homeless are being
cared for by charitable institutions
and citizens, while the wrecked dis
trict is being patro!led by Company
B, First Regiment, Indiana National
Guard, and the local police force
The militia was ordered out early to-
day by Governor Ralstou, who direc
ted the relief measures from Indian
apolis.
Relief work showed that hundreds
lost everything they owned and their
suffering was made more acute by the
rain. The downpour, while adding
to their discomfort, was probably the
greatest boon the stricken district
could have asked, for it extinguished
linnumerable fires which broke out i'm
mediately after the tornado had
passed.
The rescue work was carried on fast
and tonight it appears that all the
homeless are being carried for by
charitable institutions and citizens,
while the more seriously injured have
received medical attention. In many
cases private homes were turned into
temporary hospitals.
Narrowing stories of their expert
ences are told by the survivors OF the
storm. The scenes in the wrecked
sections in Terre Haute brought tears
to the eyes of the rescuers, whose !
tention often vas called to the dying,
trapped in the debris OF their homes,
by agonizing screams for aid. Some
succumbed before they could be freed
from wreckage and others who were
removed will die.
Throughout the district of wrecked
homes survivors searched for loved
o aes, but in the majority of cases they
were disappointed.
"I'm looking for mamma" an eight
year old boy told members of the re-
lief committee when they urged him to |
seek shelter. He had searched the |!
ruins Of bis home aud was standing |
where the front gate had been.
"All I have now is this old coat" a
man who was looking at the ruins o.
his home said when asked If he wishe d
aid from the committee. 'Yester-
1ay.n he continued, II owned my lit
lie home-had plenty of fire insurance,
