OFFICIALS BLOCKING
RELIEF PLAN, CHARGES PAYNE

men and others who are able are
assisting, according to their means,
those less fortunate. In former years
the people of Florida have always re-
sponded to the call Of the American
Red Cross and in many instances
have far exceeded their quota.
The survey shows that there are
many thousands of poor people whose
homes have been completely wrecked
and have lost their all, and 1t Is this
class of people who need the help or
the American Red Cross. And for
this reason, we wish to go on record
as urging that the generosity Of the
American people continue to have ex-
preston in contribution so that the
big reha bilitation task which remains
may not be curtailed. Without this
help from the Red Cross it will be
i,npossible for those families, which
have suffered so grievouSly, to come
back to normal self-support. Whlle
business is able to come back quickly,
this other class must have this human
itarian aid With approximately
1000 families of workmen and farm
ers and others of modest means
needing help in the Miami dlstrlct'
and with almost twice that nu1nper
in neighboring cities and country
sides, it is believed that the sener-
ositv of America will not flag, II theSe
facts are understood.
1--WE earnestly ask, therefore, that
contributions in behalf Of the Amerl-
can Red Cross fund may continue with
yipor. SO that maximum assistance
NAV be given to those people VINO
ind themselves in such nufnperS
without homes. equipment or re-
sources. -

dicted by statements from FLORIDA.
On top of that Judge Payne received
o. copy of a telegram which Mayor
Romfh Of Miami sent to the mayors
of all of the larger cities In the Voun-
try, reading as follows:
"My people and l are grateful to
YOU for your sympathetic message
and offer of assistance. After inspec-
ton OF the damaged region, find the
situation not as bad as reported. Whl

Judge Payne wrote Mayor Romfh a
personal letter yesterday in which he
fatty declared that such a campaign
waged on the behalf of business with
out regard to the interests of the sufN
fering poor had practically destroyed

Florida Losses May Be

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Special
adjusters were sent into the Florida
storm area today by insurance COM
panies as reports received here indi-
Gated that the losses of the surety
firms might exceed those of any 9TH
err wind disaster in the country's
history.
1.-THE damage cannot be estimated
as yet" an official of the Home In
surance Company told the United
Press, "but according to first reports
| believe that no one company will
be so hard-pressed as to be forced to
default on it's policies.
An official of the Aetna Insurance
Company said that he believed 1t
would be weeks before the damage
could be accurately estimated.
Fortunately for the policy-hold-
ers, the number of insurance firms
operating in the Florida wind, storm
and rain field is legion" he said. Il
believe the losses should be well di-
vided."

Low PRESSURE
AREA IS CAUSE
OF HURRICANE
Atmosphere RuSheS In to Fill
Vacuum and High Wind
Results.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-A hur-
ricane such as the one which has
devastated southern Florida is, to
the weather observer, only an area
of low barometric pressure moving
at a usual speed of twenty to thirty
miles an hour. The low air pressure
at the center of the hurricane area
causes air from the surrounding
high-pressure areas to rush inward
to fill the partial vacuum created by
the low pressure.
1t is this great rush Of air from all
directions toward a common center
which constitutes the tremendous
winds, often reaching a velocity of
200 to 800 miles an hour, which
sweep the TERRITORY Immediately sur
rounding the hurricane center.
The hurricanes Of the Caribb
Sea and Gulf of Mexico are exaccfy
the same meteorologically as the
cyclones of Kansas and the Middle
West and typhoons of the Oriental
seas. There is always the storm
center, which takes its leisurely
course across land or sea, and the
great rush Of winds toward the CEN
ter, lashipg waves and tossing ships
helplessly on the sea, tearing down
houses. ripping telephone and tele-
graph wires and generally dealing
death and destruction on land.
Most Severe in United States
The hurricane which swept south
/ fof
many such storms, but is reported
to be the most severe which ever
swept continental United States. 1t
was observed by ships at sea north
of Porto Rico early last week,
At the same time, two other hur-
ricane areas were reported to the
weather bureau-one headed north
from the Bahamas, which took it's
way through the Atlantic to New
Foundland; the other, in the central
! Caribbean. Neither struck popu-
lated areas on land and as a result,
neither caused damage.
The major storm, however, was
headed slightly west of north straight
for the Bahamas. 1t struck Turks
| lSldIluy 6dSlGI illllOSL VI lllV SAObP
Wednesday and severe damage was
reported.
Continued West
It brushed other minor islands Of
the Bahamas group and Friday
swept over Nassau, greatest city of
the group. From there it continued
almost due west across the Florida
peninsula, thence into the Gulf ID
Mexico, and then, changing itsWY
rection again, northwest across the
gulf States.
1t was the second severe hurricane
which struck southern Florida this
year. The other cut across Miami
from the south and followed the
Florida coast line north, finally turn
ing west, much diminished in in
tensity across Georgia and Tennes-
see. 1t did it's only damage in
Florida.
Hurricanes do not elbow them
selves out" but rather continue I'M
til the area Of low pressure is dis
sipated by contact with high pres
sure area, ending the vacuum"
which causes the rush Of winds.
