MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 25.-The after

sumed more serious aspect today
than at any time since the storm
broke.
Rehabilitation plans Of Officials,
especially the conscription of Negro
labor and Governor Martins order
to scores of families to evacuate the
entire Lake Okechobee district,
where the finding of decomposed
bodies increased the possibility of
an epidemic, met difficulties.
Stern measures have been adopted
to quell race trouble, threatened as
an upshot of the wounding of two
Negroes and two Marines and the
enforced labor Of unemployed Negro
males. y
Twenty-Five Negroes, two of them
wounded, are under arrest as a re.
suit of the first outbreak. The Ma.
rines, also, are under arrest in
hospital.
Fire On Negroes
J. D. Allen and e. L. Belbourne,
the Marines wer9 said to have fired
upon two Negroes in the colored Sec
tion of Miami. The Marines said
the Negroes were looting a wrecked
store. The Negroes returned the
fire. All the participants in the clash
were wounded and the incident
threatened serious proportions, when
officials sent two companys of
troops, sixty police with riot guns
and twenty-five deputy sheriffs to
the scene.
A substantial force maintained
order in the district throughout the
night, arrested all armed persons.
Those arrested, all Negroes, totalled
twenty.

Danger OF Diseases
The order was issued because of
the danger of disease, following the
deaths of rlany persons and of
countless animals.
Floating debris in the almost i'm
penetrable morass hazarded the
evacuation. Many survivors, who
believe the rains and water hide the
bodies of relatives, were reluctant
to leave, and with no destination in
mind, others did not care to desert
their homes on hills.
The official list of known dead
has swelled to 1854. Five hundred of
the 1000 injured in hospitals are in
a serious condition, a survey re-
vealed.
