LOS ANGELES, March 49,
The immense task Of burying the
dead in the st. Francis dam food
disaster was started today.
With the reports of the number
Of victims from 275 to 300 search
ers continued their efforts to locate
more bodies. Reconstruction OF
the area was being planned, al
though the scar of the flood will
remain in the region for years.
Authorities kept a sharp lookout
today for ghouls-with orders to
shoot them on sight.
The first hint of ghouls came
from L. S. Lothridge, manager of
the Edison Company in the Santa
Paula district. Lothridge said it
was reported to him that pocket
books of dead or missing men,
known to contain certain sums,
either we're missing or the contents
taken.
Klieg Lights Aid Search
None of the rescue squads or po-
lice forces in the flood area, how
ever, reported any such attempt at
Iooting.
Hollywood, the movie colony, came
to the assistance of the rescue
SQUADS Thursday night with a sup
ply of Klieg lights.
The great batteries Of sun-arcs
were brought into play to hasten
rescue work.
A report here from Fillmore on
Thursday gave hope that some of
the missing still might be alive. Two
women and two children we're
found unconscious and will live,
physicians said.
Some six thousand men were in
the ranks of the squads following
the Kiegs, generators and tractors
across the wastes of the once beau
tifuI Santa Clara River valley last
night. No persons were known to
be found, however.
No Report of Pestilence
The damage remained approx
imately the same, conservative
estimates placing it at $15,000,OO0.
Despite hot sun, no reports of
pestilence we're made. Utmost
precautions, however, were taken.
The fields were rapidly cleared of
dead animals and ether debris
which were burned as fast as they
we're uncovered or dug from the
silt and mud.
In order to enforce the typhoid
incubation order, relief officials
passed out the order that persons
who would not submit to the
incubation would not be fed al
the commisSaries.
Fixing Blame for Break
The tantamount question in the
opinion of Los Angeles and Santa
Clara River valley authorities, now
is what caused the dam to break. II
was the general opinion that the
dam was poorly constructed. The
task of placing direct blame was be-
fore various investigating bodies.
Had the dam sufficiently strong
foundation the tragedy would have
been averted," Edward Hyatt Jr.
State engineer, said.
Hyatt said that the California
Legislature would take steps at Its
next session to prevent repetition Of
the disaster.

Four Tracks Blocked

Available details of the wreck in
diOated that a fast preference
freight collided with the rear of an
other preference freight at Marsh
Run, blocking all four tracks of. the
main line.
Before warning could be given
the Baltimore local crashed into
the wreckage.
The fact that the passenger was
running on a track removed from
the one on which the freightS were
wrecked probably prevented heavier
casualties, ii was said.
