VIOLENT STORMS ARE
FATAL TO 81 PEOPLE.
Property Damage Will Run Into
Millions Early Reports
Indicate

Memphis. - Reports from the six
states swept by storms showed a
death list of 81, with 100 injured.
Property damage. it was estimated.
will run into the millions. and when
relief parties report from isolated sec
tions it is feared that the death roll
will mount still higher.
Torrential rains, which followed the
wind, have delayed relief work. but
in Arkansas the Red Cross has begun
work in counties where hundreds of
families were rendered homeless.
Tents have been supplied by the Ma.
tional Guard and food supplies are be-
ing sent in.
The extent OF property loss cannot
be determined for days. In Arkansas
on many plantations in Miller and
Hampstead counties, a rich farming
section, practically every building was
destroyed, newly planted crops wash
ed out, orchards ruined, roads and
bridges badly damaged, while tele-
phone and telegraph wires were al.
most all destroyed Railroads in that
section report tracks washed out at
QlS-
tance from the direct path of the
storm were badly damaged. Estimates
made on the property loss in these
two counties place the property and
crop loss at over $2,0OO,OOO.
In Mississippi, in addition to actual
loss from the high winds, much farm
land was inundated by rising streams.
A report received from Amite county
said that 10 farm houses were de.
stroyed by a storm and 10 persons in.
jured, one fatally.
Caught in the grip of a storm which
swept northeastward from Illinois
and the Mississippi Valley, Cleveland
and Northern Ohio shivered in a TEN.
perature hpvering around freezing.
Snow fell intermittently throughout
the day and it was predicted the dam
age to fruit and crops would reach
thousands of dollars.

during the Carranza administration to
recume business, made public on
Thursday night by President Obregon,
is considered in financial circles of
this city to be the first step made by
the President to stabilize banking con-
citions in the republic. A comprehen-
sive banking project, which will be
submitted to the special session of
Congress next week, has been prepared
by the government. One of the bills
would call for the establishment Of
from six to eight regional banks for
the issuance OF paper money, which
would be under government control.
The value of the outstanding paper
money which was issued by the various
banks affected by Thursday nights de-
cree is estimated at upward of 100000
