Believed Now the Total Deaths Will

BY the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31.-The grand
jury will probe the Otay dam dis
aster, the prosecutor said at noon to-
day. One more body was recovered
late this morning making a total of
II recovered. The earlier statements
that 100 were drowned in the San
Diego floods are believed to be un-
true. The exact number of deaths will
not be determined until the coroner
reports.
AS result of the breaking of the
Otay dam and floods elsewhere in the
county, 25 is the estimated killed,
the majority being Chinese, Japanese,
Italians and Mexicans. Eleven bodies
have been recovered. Troops are on
guard in Otay valley because of loot
ing, band of Mexicans starting the
looting Sunday. Morena, Sweetwater
and Cuyamaca and upper Otay dams
are safe today. Because of the lack
of communications and uncertainty
wild rumors were af1oat Sunday. A
relief fund was raised here and great
quantities of clothing and food were
shipped to the stricken district.

No Damage Last Night

PARIS, Jan. 31.-Though ZeppeIins
Saturday killed 26 persons and injur-

night, it was announced today. Ten
incendiary bombs were dropped and
six Of these fell in an open field of
a suburb. The others exploded
harmlessly Newspapers voiced the
anger of the populace and demanded
reprisals. Renewed warnings of fresh
attacks of Zeppelins and FokkerS
were made. Experts believed that the
raids were merely accommodating ex-
petitions.
