while incomplete, shows no loss of
life in either hotel. The early esti-
mates Of $4,OoO.0OO were declared too
low by Fire Chief Schultz today when
he gave it as his opinion that the

Although the Palm Beach post
master continued to deny rumors
that the post office was robbed of
$4,000 during the fire, authorities
were said to be searching for clues
that would suggest existence of a
plot by which thieves might have
started the fire that a harvest in loot
might be reaped from wealthy guests.
More than score of prisoners are

U, s, FARMERS plan
TO INCREASE CROP
ACREAGE THIS YEAR

Washington, March ia ten
Cercy toward general expansion OF
farm crop acrCages this year was
rcted in an intentions to plant re-
port today by the department of
agriculture. which issued with it a
virtual warning that too great pro-
auctions would result in lower
prices.
1T seems doubtful the statement
said, IF the general expansion oil
production contemplated by the far
mers would be to their best interests.
Increased returns for the crops OF
1924 were largely due to reduced
supplies, either in this country or
abroad, rather than to any increase
in demand. The outlook indicates
that any marked expansion in most
lines would tend to lower prices and
result in less satisfactory returns to
farmers.
IF reported intentions are car
ried out, the acreage in spring wheat
will be increased IA per cent or
nearly 100000 acres. Winter
wheat seedlings last fall We're in
creased So per cent over the pre-
vious year. Allowing for acreage
abandonment. however, the increase
in winter wheat area to be harvest
ed. would be about 40 per cent
greater than last year, and the IN
crease in all wheat would be about
Z per cent or about 3,SOO0OO acres.
IF farmers generally carry out
their intentions as reported March
1, corn acreage will be Increased by
Il per cent above that grown for
harvest last year. This would make
the corn acreage in 1928 J per cent
above the 1928 acreage and more
than per cent larger than lo22.
Farmers who are intending to pro-
duce corn in excess of their own
feeding requirements should not
expect to receive as high a price for
their surplus as has prevailed for
the 1924 crop"
Farmers intend to plant 90 per
cent more oats, % per cent more
barley, 295 more sweet potatoes,
l0.7 per cent more grain sorghums,
90 per cent more tobacco, 40 per
cent more peanuts, and IL per cent
more rice. The tame hay acreage
pan appeared to be the same as last
year,

Atty. Generals Dept.
Same as Predecessor

Washington, March 19-Policies Of
the department of justice in effect dur
ing the administration of Attorney
General Stone will be continued, tenn
porarily at least, by Attorney General
Sargent. The new head of the depart
ment indicated today that he had no
disposition to make radical changes of
any kind and that he intended to pro-
coed with caution in handling the work
Of his post.
Mr.. Sargent's attitude has been
made known to his associates in the
department who take care of much of
the detail work before the majority of
questions arising are submitted to the
department head for final decision. He
plans to lean on those officials largely
and learn the departmental procedure
from the ground up.
Work which has been held over since
Harlan +. Stone resigned to accept
appointment as supreme court JUS
tice will be disposed of as quickly as
Mr.. Sargent can acquaint himself with
the problems. But he made II clear
today he would take no final actions
until he had been fully Informed on
the subjects involved.

Machinery of Red
Cross Moves for
Tornado Relief

washington, March libby A. p
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, with it's chief. Calvin
Coolidge, taking the initiative, set In
motion today ITS entire machinery of
mercy to take material relief to the
thousands of injured and homeless in
the tornado-wrecked section of the
middle west. At the same time it sped
offers of aid to other thousands of
sufferers far away-victims of fire at
Toxic, and Of flood at Trujillo, Peru.
James Louis Fieser, vice chairman
in charge Of domestic operations, at
st. Louis today took supreme COM
mand of Red Cross relief work in the
tornado area with Henry M. Baker,
national director Of disaster relief, in
immediate charge Of operations. Mr.
Baker, who had been directing relief
efforts In the mine disaster at Sulli-
van, Inr, gave his attention in the
new task primarily to the situation in
southern Indiana area, where prelimi-
nary reports received at headquarters
indicated the greatest damage was
done. Relief operations meanwhile
were continued at the scene of the
Fairmont, w. Va, mine disaster.
A party Of trained disaster relief
workers left here late today for
Princeton, Ind, to aid in rehabiitat-
ing the homeless and rendering other
assistance.
No check of dead and injured in the
disaster was available at Red Cross
headquarters. Reports from local
chapters in the region began to trickle
in today, but most of them dealt with
relief activities, and officials were con-
fident that they were prepared to rem
der primary emergency aid. Each
chapter. they explained, has it's treas
ury funds for district relief and funds
from national headquarters also are
available to them If needed.
Officials characterized the disaster
as the greatest since the Ohio valley
flood of 1913, when $500,000,000 Of
property was laid waste.
The Evansville. Ind, chapter In a
telegram received late today reported
that Immediately upon learning of the
storm last night 1t modified physi-
clans, nurses and workers and sent
them to Griffin. Princeton and other
points in the state.

Towns Wiped Out

While the casualty lists had been
reduced from first estimates In some
instances. word came from hitherto
unreported places to keep the total
casualties almost as high as indicat-
ed in first messages from the devas-
tated towns and hamlets. After q
night of terror, dawn revealed that
some small towns had been virtually
obliterated, while whole blocks and
larger places had been levelled and
fire had added to the horrors of the
wind.
The fires for the most part were
kept from buildings that escaped the
fury of the twister. Outside help ar
rived from many places during the
day and by noon relief Vas we'll or
ganized.
Where there had been happiness
and prosperity, the tornado blasted
everything in some cities. To others,
it showed fiendish eccentricity by
levelling and blackening portions and
sparing the rest.
Nearly half Of Princeton, Indiana,
was smitten. A sister town, Grif-
fin. was virtually carried away. De
Soto, Illinois, with 500 people, was
out of existence. A neighbor, Cor
ham. with a population of 300, was
wiped out. Murphysboro, Illinois,
lost nearly three square miles of its
business and residential sections.
Darkness still hampered rescuers
tonight in some towns, as lighting
systems have not been repaired. Au-
tomobile lights, candles and flash
lights are substituting for power
plants. Pullman cars have arrived
to house refugees in one or two
sectors. Villages Of tents have
sprung up elsewhere.
