Everglades Area Isolated by
High Water.
By United Press

By United Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Sept.
21.-Rising water from heavy rains
had cut off the Everglades section of
the hurricane area today, tempo
rarily interrupting search for bodies.
Boats are to go in as soon as pos
Sible.
A. L. Schafer, director for the
national Red Cross, said he consid-
cred the estimate of from 700 to
800 deaths in the county to be
fair one" Many bodies never will
be found, he predicted.
Present conditions, Schafer said,
after an inspection trip, would not
justify quarantining the flood area
near Lake Okeechobee. He COM
mellded the work of sanitary forces.
Women and children have been
removed from. this territory, where
the stencil from dead animals is
said to be almost unbearable, and
where streams and marshes, filled
with carcaSses, may breed germs Of
an epidemic. Only able-bodied men
workers and a few Negroes remain
there.
The official estimate of storm dead
in Palm Beach County as between
TOO and 300 was the result Of visit
of Red Cross officials to the Ever
glades section, where bodies of new
victims are found daily.

Watches HOIdup, Loses $40

When Henry A. Roberts, States
sales agent, left his home at 2309
College Ave. early today he didn't
know what a holdup was all about.
A few minutes later he learned, and
the lesson cost him two nice crisp
$40 bills.
Roberts had the misfortune TO
have his car break down in the
vicinity of the II. S H. Garage,
1925 College Ave. He knew the
proprietor, H. o. Hawley, so he
entered the garage and hailed him.
Haley was one OF a trio huddled
about stove in the center of the
room and undergoing search by one
bandit while another was stealing
his car and getting it out to the
curbing ready for the getaway.
MY car is busted" Roberts shout
ed, but the only interest registered
by Hawley was a sickly grin.
Il thought he looked kind Of
funny, but came up and joined
the circle" Roberts explained when
he was safe again at his Statehouse
Office. Then I noticed a fellow
with a gun taking papers from the
pocket of Allen Davis, State indus
trial board employs and Republican
precinct committeeman. Well,
didn't know then but it might be
a constable.
when I heard him get rough
and swear I changed my mind
about his being a constable and
concluded he was crazy. 1 could
have swung on him, as he hadn't
seen me come up and was trembling
like leaf with that gun in his
hand.
But I just stood around and
waited, like 1 was the bandits best
customer At last he saw me and
put that cannon on my chest with
an awful curse.
What have I done?' I inquired,
but didn't get an answer.
HE just told me to turn over my
pocket book and then cussed some
more when he only found two tens.
1 told him I was sorry, but that
was all had and he turned away
and fled to the car at the curb"
