 Torn and tangled communica- ton lines. roads strewn with wreckage and debris, and blinding rain confronted the men when aft CT taking a nasty check of the toll of life and property, they began their torturous journey to a tele- graph office.
 R. P. Mitchell Miami corre- spondent of the Associated Press, and Reese Amis, telegraph editor of the Miami Daily News, walked eight miles from Miami to Coral Gables for an automobile to bring them to West Palm Beach, and the nearest communication lines. Finding their automobile wrecked, they communicated delivery truck of the Miami Daily News and began their journey at 4:15 p. m. Saturday.

New Hayeners Affected.

New Haven, Sept 20 LPl-Many New Haven residents are winter wis itors to Fort Lauderdale and vicin- fly and many Of them own property in that city or nearby sections. Few Of them spend the summer south and today they were awaiting word from Fort Lauderdale that would give them an inkling Of the damage done there and the loss Of life.
 George l.. Anderson, who is vis- iting in West Haven, comes from Fort Lauderdale, and this morning he said he knew the Austin family in which there have been deaths ac- cording to the Associated Press dis patches.
 Baby Austin mentioned was not born when he left the south in the late spring. He recognized other names in the list both Of persons in and around Fort Lauderdale and in Miami.
 Mir. Anderson was in the south during the previous storm, and he said that after it had passed and the damage cleaned up the loss in prop erty was not nearly as great as first accounts indicated
 He said that recovery from storms comes quickly as the sun comes up as soon as storm passes, the wet ness dies up quickly and everyone sets to and works. He expressed hope that the conditions were not as bad as pictured. Mir. Anderson said he had extensive property hold ings in Fort Lauderdale, but could not determine from early accounts what section of the city suffered the greatest damage.

 All along the so mile route they found towns wrecked, telephone poles and wires blocking the roads with a tangled mass of wreckage. and were forced many times 10 climb to the top of the truck and clear off broken limbs of trees.
 Six miles south of Fort Lauder dale, their truck became mired in a muddy bank. They walked the railroad track to Fort Lauderdale and slept Saturday night in the women's club there with 50 refu- gees. Water vas doled out in half glass portions.
 Sunday morning they borrowed a small automobile and continued their journey to West Palm Beach where on their arrival at 11:30 a. n., they sent out the first meager despatches Of the toll of life and property damage of the hurricane.

 many homes on the beach front have gone and that the state high way has probably been obliterated in places. The previous storm preached the state highway at var ious places so that it was estimated that SS00o0 was needed to repair it.

 10 Trains on Way
 Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 20 OPs- The spirit Of humanitarianism swept out to combat the forces or destruction today as citizens Of every state hurried relief into the hurricane swept area of southern Florida.
 Ten trains bearing foodstuffs, medical supplies. water and facili- ties for housing refugees headed into the storm area last night, while physicians, nurses, fraternal organizations and private citizens joined forces in gathering ma terials for which there is urgent need.
 Trains from Lakeland, Avon Park. Tampa. Sanford and Sebring put out for the Lake Okeechobec region where a death toll of more than 1oQ dead was reported at Moorehaven.
 Into the Miami vicinity went trains from Jacksonville, Fort Pierce, West Palm Beach. Orlando and Tampa. Preparations for other trains were being made as railroad officials announced that gradually right of ways were being cleared.
 Offers of Aid
 Offers Of aid poured in from a saddened nation as the people of Florida took up their task. From Washington came word that the American Red Cross was ready; from Chicago information that the Pullman company stood by to marshal its cars for the housing of refugees. From Georgia came a message from Governor Clifford Walker that the resources of that state were at the service of the homeless.

 Meanwhile the work went on nearer at hand. Merchants at JaCksonNlIle placed every avail able motor truck at the disposal of volunteer workers and others Of fered supplies from warehouses and other sources to relief trains. At a meeting here citizens sub scribed $c5.oo0 and a relief fund was being swalled continuously.

Appeal to Be Made

Officials also indicated that prob ably some time during the day an appeal will be issued to the Amer ican public for funds to care for those made destitute in the storm. Whether this appeal will be made through President Coolidge, hor- orary president of the Red Cross. or an acting official, has not been determined.

 WIFE B0LSHEV|K
Soviet Envoy to Berlin Presents
 Social Problem

Berlin, Oct. 29 Lp - The diplo- matic set at the German capital have a delicate problem to ponder: what will happen when Mime. kres- tinski, wife of the Russian soviet ambassador, succeeds Viscountess d'Abernon as doyenne of the diplo- matic corps?
 The doyen Of the diplomats ac- cio, Mgr. Pacelli. Unmarried priest that he is, he turned over to the Viscountess the job of introducing the new female arrivals in the diplo- matic colony to Frau Stresemann and the wives of his colleagues.
 She Built Social Code
 Lady d'Abernon loved her task. She built up a social code for the wives of diplomats which became hallowed precedent. It was as for nal and rigid as though the young German republic maintained court. An aristocrat representing a royal istic world empire, Fiscountess d'Abernon was in great favor with the smart set.
 Mme. Krestinski's philosophy of life, her previous training and her avocation make her the antithesis of Lady d'Abernon. Like her husband, she is bolsheyik to the core, proud to represent a workers and peasants government,

still devotes her morning to giving free medical treatment at the in- fant ward of the Charite. Society offers no allurements to her. To be- come mistress of ceremonies for the ladies of the diplomatic set places an unwelcome burden upon her.
 A further point bothering the diplomats is this: supposing an am- bassador or minister arrives whose government has not recognized Soviet Russia? The United States, for example? Can the new ambas- sador's or minister's wife be expect ed to ask Mime. Krestinski to inr itiate her? And can Mime. krestin- ski be expected to act as her social yuide?

NOBLE DESCRIBES
 STORM AT HAVANA
Damage Terrific, Loss Beyond
 Figures, Fire Chief Says

The loss of life in Havana, Cuba, as a result Of the terrific storm a few weeks ago, is not known even in that city, and the outside world has no idea of the extent of the devasta- tion. Chief w. J. Noble of the fire department said today. on his re- turn to duty after a trip to Cuba ill connection with his attendance at the fire chiefs convention in New Orleans. Chief Noble and Mrs. Noble and Mir. and Mrs. William Buckley of Park street were in party of 64 who made the trip to Havana, arriving five days after the storm.
 Chief Noble estimates that fully go per cent of the trees in the city were torn up by the roots. Entire buildings were wrecked and others had roofs and cornices blown of like so much tissue paper. Fronts of large structures were ripped from their places, automobiles were turned upside down, monuments, light poles, and everything that came in the wake of the 14O-mile gale were felled.
 75 Ships Sunk
 Chief Noble said there were 7o ships in the harbor with only the very tops of their smokestacks visl- ble. No attempt had been made 10 raise them and nothing definite had been learned as to the number of lives lost on them. His party saw a number of bodies strewn along the dock, representing only small per- centage of the total of those drowned. Residents of Havana de- clared that the true situation has not been broadcast. Millions of dol- lars have already been spent for re- lief ard rehabilitation, yet scaroely an impression has been made.
 Had the convention of fire chiefs been held at the time 1t was or iginally scheduled, Chief Noble and the others in the party might have been in Havana the day or the storm. They talked to Standard Oil Go. representative who lost all his belongings and was returning on the boat which carried the local party. He gave vivid description of the storm, saying it was beyond comprehension. He saw many lives lost in the flood, he said, and prop erty wrecked and damaged in the wake of the storm.
 There were 2,500 policemen, about 500 firemen and 2500 soldiers on duty and every effort was being made to prevent the spread of disease through drinking water. The newspapers called on the residents and visitors to boil water before drinking, and vaccination is re- quired.

The second game was between the Arctic Brotherhood team and the Eagles team. Both teams have been practicing for the past ten days to get in shape for the contest. The A. E team showed much better skill in passing and team work. and obtained such q big lead in the first half of he game that the Eagles tain Jack Dowd of the Eagle team mad an injured knee and Walter Taylor played center during the first half. but Dowd could not stand To sit idly by and see his team g" down tp defeat so he went in and played center during the second half. immediately the crowd were cheering and on their toes, the Eagles started to make basket after asket until they were almost even wi1h The A. B's score. but luck was tol for them or the time was too hort or something like that. for yhen the game ended the score tood 40 to 30 in favor of the \ B's
 However with q little more prac- tice and better team work the next game should be hard one for the X. B's ,u win. both teams have some very good material on them and with Dowd playing the game through the Eagles should have little trouble in capturing the game.
 The line up was as follows:
 A. B. Team Eagle Team E. Modini Forward R. Maynard w. Barnett Forward I. Hyldahl Paul Potter Center Jack Dowd
 Center Walter Taylor Bud Lehman Guard Wm Shaw Stanley Whistler Guard G. Collier
 A return game will more than likely be played two weeks hence. al which time an indoor base ball game may be arranged. and it is al so possible that the teams will play in large Eagle hall.
