 Miami Area Worst
 The Miami area, hardest hit of all, was going about the work of re- mobilization, caring for the injured and seeking out the dead in systema- tic manner. The American Red Cross and other relief agencies were on hand full force, with troops on guard and martial law declared in many places.
 None But Workers
 The injured in Hollywood, Miami suburb. have been ordered removed to points north of the city and per- sons unable to aid in the relief and rehabilitation work have been in- structed by military authorities to evacuate the city according to in- formation brought to West Palm Beach last night by Dr. William R. Redden, national director of the American Red Cross medical eerv- ice.
 Many Seriously Injured pr. Redden estimated the seri- ously injured at 1,400. He found 1850 patients in Miami hospitals and estimated that the total injured there was $500, of whom 1000 suf- fered serious hurts.
 About 500 of these had fractured ribs and skulls. He also said the official list of deaths in Miami had been placed at 1855.
 Mobile and Pensacola

 Looters Fired Upon.
 The home of Harvey s. Firestone, tire manufacturer, was the scene of a pitched battle here last night when looters attempted to carry away a large amount of furnishing. Blue jackets on guard duty in tho vicinity opened fire, and after sev- eral shots had been exchanged, the looters fled. The house was not bad- ly damaged in the hurricane.
