three known dead and property damage

rain storm which swept eastern Mary
land had spent itself this morning
In its wake were swollen rivers and
f1attened crops, with possibility that the
damage would be augmented by flood
waters.
Late last night the Severn River had
overf1owed its banks and had reached
the highest point in the last 10 years.
1t overf1owed the retaining wall at the
United States Naval Academy at An
napoiis and flooded the campus Streets
in the lower part of Annapolis were
under water.
Three men met death here yesterday
in accidents directly attributable to the
storm. Howard E. Riley was killed
when struck by a falling tree. James
Fields, negro, was killed when the au-
tomobile in which he was riding struck
a fallen tree suspended five feet above
the street. Henry H. D. Erker was
struck by an automobile, the driver of
which said that the rain, driven against
the windshield by the high wind, had
blinded him.
The Eastern Shore bore the brunt of
the storm, with shipping tied up and
considerable damage done to trees and
shrubbery. Telephone lines were torn
down and many sections were without
communication for some time. Several
small boats in the harborS were sunk

FIVE PLANES LEAVE.

In the face of 65-mile head wind
now prevailing at flying heights along
the coast, five planes, three of them
heavy bombers, today took off from Boil
ing Field for Langley Field, Hampton,
Va. The bombers, with a. flying speed
only 30 miles greater than the wind, are
fueled for z hours of flying, though
they have but 100 land miles to cover.
Two other new Oil observation
planes, with Liberty motors, were
brought here this week from the factory
and were piloted by Maj. Bradley and
Lieut.. Aldworth of Langley Field. They
took off from Boiling Field at 10:15
o'clock this morning.
The bombers, which took part in the
battle maneuvers at Fort Leonard Wood
Tuesday, are piloted by Capt. Oldys,
Lieut.. Adams and Lieut.. Herbert of
Langley Field and carry three pas
sengers each. They took off here at II
o'clock.
Maj. Carl Spatz took off at II o'clock
in the new Fokker CO transport plane
delivered at Boiling Field about 10 days
ago for March Field, Los Angeles, Calf.
The first leg of the trip, on which he is
flying today, is to Wright Field, Dayton,
Ohio. Bad weather over the mountains
faced him as he left.

and help them carry on.
Profiteers Are Threatened.
with this assurance, farmers took
hope to thousands of families that en-
ployment and wages were in sight.
In an effort to check prof1teering the
San Juan Chamber of Commerce
threatened to cut off both merchandise
and credit. Where help was needed,
however, the organization pledged its
members lenient credit and delay on
collections. A committee was appointed
to report promptly on comprehensive,
plans for reconstruction and rehabilita-
ton.
Funds of 100000 were advanced by
banks to the citizens relief committee
headed by Justice Del Toro. They were
placed in the hands of agencies for dis
tribution in every city and town.
Three members of the staff of Henry
NJ Baker, Red Cross director of disaster
relief, were making rapid survey Of
the further needs OF the island. Mr..
Baker meanwhile planned to sail for
the Virgin Islands and see what could
be done toward relief there. He will go
first to st. Thomas, where he will be
joined by Capt. Waldo Evans, governor
of the islands. Then they will go to
st. Croix, which was reported to have
been devastated.
A local political quarrel has prevented
the removal of garbage and debris from
the streets of San Juan since the hurri-
cane The Municipal Assembly, which
has been attempting to impeach Mayor
Todd, refused to appropriate funds re-
uuested by him for use in the emer-
gency. The mayor then appealed to the
merchants to supply him with trucks
without charge so that the debris might
be removed.

Havoc of Hurricane in Porto Rico
Is Viewed by D. C.. Lawyer in San Juan

George D. Horning, jr., local attorney,
who was aboard ship in the harbor
of San Juan, Porto Rico, when the
hurricane struck week ago, returned
to this city yesterday, and today was
giving his friends a first-hand account
of the devastation wrought on the West
Indian island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horning were aboard
the steamship San Lorenzo, tied to a
concrete dock, when the hurricane
struck.

in San JUAN" Horning said this morn

board was harmed"
There was warning of an approach

From Financier's Wife,
Detectives Say.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, September 20.-A
65-year-old man, giving a Philadelphia
address, was today held in $4,000 bail
on a charge Of threatening to blow up
the home of John j. Raskob, Demo-
cratic national chairman, unless he was
paid 100000. He gave the name of
Frank Mooney.
The threats were contained in letters
sent through the mails, according to
private detectives. Mooney admitted the
charge.
The letters were addressed to Mrs.
Raskob at her home in Claymont, near
Wilmington, Del. The first threatened
to dynamite the home unless the money
was forthcoming. Mrs. Raskob paid
little attention to it, but when the
second arrived, she turned it over to
detectives of the du Pont Co., OF which
her husband is an officer.
A trap was laid for the writer, but
in the meantime a third letter was
received. Mrs. Raskob was instructed
to answer it and she did so, address,
ing it to general delivery, Philadelphia
Post Office, as directed by the writer.
Mooney called for the letters last
night and was arrested by detectives
of a local agency.
The only witness against the prisoner
at hearing before Police Magistrate
Evan T. Pennock was William !. Stauf-
fer, manager of the detective agency.
Mrs. RaSkob was not present.
