WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Sept.
l9.-Homer Dickson, field captain
OF the Red Cross, filed a report with
authorities today which Indicated
that the death toll in Florida from
the hurricane already stood at 400
with some sections of State still
isolated.
Two nurses and myself sent two
truck loads Of bodies to the avia-
ton field here" Dickson said.
There were a hundred or more
bodies in the vicinity of Belle Glade.
according to the crews of two boats
that were sent to Tory and Cramer
Island to aid in the relief work.
"At South Bay there were con-
siderably more than $50 bodies, and
in another spot there. were forty
nine Negro bodies and one white
man.
I'VE must remove all the bodies to
prevent the spread Of disease. Dis
lntectants are badly needed"
About 1900 homeless persons are
being cared for here, and the num-
Der is increasing hourly.
Lickson's report was the first Of
ficial estimate that has been made
OF the number of dead. Heretofore
only fragmentary reports have been
received.
Earlier today the Red Cross COM
piled fatality list from six towns
and the Lake Okeechobee area,
which said that sixty-two were
known to have been killed and 545
injured.

SEBRING, Fla, Sept. 19.--
Col. L. S. Lowry, Florida na-
tional guard, in charge of re-
lief work in the Okeechobee
lake area, estimated after a
survey today, that "the hurri-
cane death list may reach 500 "
j. 7 Lurvey of the Tampa
Red Cross chapter, in charge of
that organization s work in the
area, concurred with Lowry.
Their estimates were based on a
survey of the towns along the Lake
Okeechobee, where waves sirnila~ to
an ocean tidal wave devastated such
settlements as Belle Glade, Pahokee
and Canal Point.
Days and possibly weeks, Col.
Lowry said, will be required to de-
termine correctly the number of
dead, injured and missing in the
section.

Set Life Toll at 400 in
Palm Beach County;
$1,000 Homeless.
ST0CKADES PLANNED
Fresh Reports of Damage
and Fatalities Received
From Indies.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.--
The West Indian hurricane
moved northeastward along the
Atlantic coast today heralded
by storm warnings as far north
as Eastport, Me-, and trailed
by death and destruction.
Red Cross workers in West
Palm Beach County estimated
the dead there as more than 400
and the homeless as $4,000.
Sanitation was reported bad
in the interior Of the country
and plans were announced to
establish two camps in stock
ades to care for refugees, one
for whites at Miami and one
for Negroes at Pompans. Per-
haps 5000 were being fed at
refugee centers.
A. L. Schaefer, relief director at
Jacksonville, subsequently sent a
summary of conditions in twenty
two Florida counties, saying twenty
seven were reported killed in Okee-
chobee County, and some elsewhere,
but giving no estimate for Palm
Beach County.
Meanwhile, fresh reports came of
damage to the West Indies when
the storm raced through those is
lands last week.
United Sttaes Consul William H.
Hunt sent to the State Department
an estimate Of 500 dead and injured
in the vicinity of Point Pitre,
French Guadeloupe, but made no
guess as to the total deaths in other
parts of the island.
"The worst hurricane ever known
in Guadeloupe devastated that place
Sept. H." he meSSaged. Three
quarters of the population is home
less. The sugar cane crops and fac
tories have been destroyed"
Ask Red Cross Aid
Evans and Hunt boGh appes led
for Red Cross help in the emergency
Hunt said the mayor of Guadeloupe
had asked him to do so. "The
necessities most urgently needed are
medical assistance and foodstuffs," "
he said. Diseases in epidemic form
are seriously feared because of in
adequate sanitary measures and hy-
giene."
AS the storm moved along the
coast, the Weather Bureau ordered

the Virginia Capes to Cape Cod, and
storm warnings elsewhere along the

Gale Due in New York

bU OnttCd PfCSS
NEW YORK, Sept. 19-New
York prepared to receive a taste of
the West Indies hurricane late to-
day.
Weather bureau advices warning
shipping between Cape Hatteras
and Southern New England were
ordered.
The storm, lessened in intensity
after its long path Of devastation,
was due to pass over Atlantic City
in the late afternoon or early eve
ming.
n rtheast gale warnings were pre-
dicted all along the coast. High
seas along the coastline were pre-
dicted..
New York City itself felt the first
hint OF bad weather today in de-
creased temperature ard cloudiness.
Rain fell during the night.
Although the center Of the dis
turbance is expected to pass out
over the Atlantic before it reaches
the latitude of New York, the
hurricane already has fooled the
weather men once.
When the storm made for the
east coast of Florida it was pre-
dicted it would cross Che State and
strike the southern edges of Geor-
gia and Alabama. But the hurri-
cane took a twist east and travelled
north to Savannah and Charles
ton, where it's force was sufficient
to halt wire communication and
cause torrential rainfall.
The storm is due to cross the
transatlantic steamer lines late to-
day or early Thursday.

Pestilence Feared
An extensive high pressure area
centered over the st. Lawrence val
ley caused winds to rush at terrific
speed southwestward toward the
hurricane center. Delaware break
water reported the highest velocity
-eighty-four miles an hour. Rain
was falling in many places along
the coast.
Governor General Waldo Evans
informed the Navy Department
that pestilence might result in the
St. CroiX, Virgin Islands, where six
persons were killed and property
was damaged at least 100000.
Henry M. Baker, National Red
Cross relief director, arrived in
Porto Rico and radioed headquar-
ters here that while there was no
immediate danger of epidemic there,
health conditions were bad and food
and clothing were sorely needed.
The Red Cross faced today the
task of aiding in burying hurricane
dead and of succoring the living.
While the people toiled to get
food and medicaments to survivors
Of the West Indian hurricane
which crushed Porto Rico, the Ba-
hamas, Florida and other places,
tragic appeal for collins for Florida
reached headquarters here.
Out of Ft. Myers came the ap-
peal for cofflnS.
Typhoid Serum Offered
Margaret Shepherd of the chapter
there advised that pleas were
arriving for coffins for the dead of
Okechobee, South Bay, Miami locks
and bear beach in the Lake Okee-
chobee territory.
She had been unable to get con-
tact with the last relief unit, but
was able to advise the main offices,
where today thousands Of dollars
were pouring in from a nation
whose heart was touched by the
hurricane tragedy.
She was told that if public funds
we're unavailable, the Red Cross
would see that the victims had de-
cent burial at the organizations
expense.
And while there were thoughts for
the dead, the question of caring for
the living arose urgently.
Typhoid. that scourge which rides
after the hurricane, had to be pre-
vented.
The Parke Davis Comapny offered
10000 units of typhoid serum,
which the Red Cross in turn offered
to the Florida health department.
Doctors and disaster experts were
assigned to Florida.
1000 Cots Sent
Food was modified for the Porto
Ricans, 100000 of whom are esti-
mated by Governor Towner to be
hungry and homeless as a result Of
the hurricane.
Governor Martin of Florida asked
aid of the War Department over
night, and the adjutant general ad-
vised the fourth corps area at At
lanta to give the State all possible
aid. Atlanta was tol1 to forward
