Dozen Persons Missing and
Two Score Injured in Vi
cinity of Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, July 11.-Five per-
missing and more than two score in
jured as the result of severe cleo
trical storm, accompanied by high
winds and a cloudburst, which swept
this section of the state late yesterday.
The most serious damage was done at
Bradford, where a tornado killed two
persons, injured a score of others and
demolished seventy-five houses. Light
ming killed two campers near Clinton
and a farmer at Greensburg. Prop
erty damage will run into many thou
sand dollars.
Wire service today was badly Grip
pied by the storm and communication
with other towns where victims of
the storm were reported was impos-
81 BILE this forenoon. At Bradford res
cue parties were searching the ruins
of demolished houses for additional
bodies. Nine persons had not been
accounted for this morning and were
believed to be buried under the wreck
age of their homes. A number of in
jured were in hospitals.
Reports from outlying districts this
morning showed the storms damage
to be heavy. Besides demolishing the
southern part of Bradford, farm build
were wrecked. At Guys Mills. ten
miles east of Meadville, practically
every window in the town was shat
tered by hail. At Bradford one house
was carried a quarter of a mile by
the tornado.

ASK FLEET BOARD FOR
100 REFRIGERATOR SHIPS
Porto Rico Fruit Growers Foresec
Big Loss if Vessels Are Not Sup
piled for Big Crops.

SAN JUAN, June 80 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-Fruit
growers of Porto Rico have asked the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to
equip 100 steamers as refrigerator
ships to carry fruit, not only betwee n
Porto Rico and the mainland. but be-
tween the United States, South Amer
lea and European countries.
The fruit growers have submitted to
ing that each ship should have from
100 900 to 100000 cubic feet of re-
frigerator space. They assert that last
year they lost more than 100000 on
their products because of insufficient
tonnage and because none of it was
equipped with even partial refrigera-
ton facilities. The statement declares
that aside from the lines engaged in
the banana-carrying trade, the United
States has not more than dozen
partly equipped insulated refrigera-
These proposed refrigerator ships,
it is urged by the fruit growers,
should have a speed of from twelve to
fourteen knots. 1t is pointed out that
few freighters of such speed now are
afloat. The Porto Ricans argue that
shipping from the United States to
South America must pass through the
tropics and that in doing SO perish
able products carried in the holds Of
ordinary SnlpS are 0eI1VereQ lnVa-
riably in a partly damaged condition.
They say also that refrigerator ships
are needed to carry apples from North
Atlantic ports. such as New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, to England
and Scotland, and that for lack of
such ships apples now suffer loss in
transit.
They estimate that the crops of
oranges, grapefruit and pineapples
for the coming season probably will
double those of last year and foresee
a heavy loss unless adequate ships Of
an insulated type are provided to
carry these crops.

residences of the mine officials and de-

Over 1000 women and girls employed

currences are reported from various

unrest is the soaring Of rice, which is
