Gov. Towner urged the Secretary of
War to send immediate funds in what
ever amount available and more when
possible. He asserted the island had
suffered the worst hurricane ever re-
corded in the West Indies and that
facts ARE worse than have been re-

Appeals to Red Cross.
The governor also urged presiden-
tial approval for general appeal for
aid through the American Red Cross
and asked that Red Cross rehabili-
tation unit be sent to Porto Rico.
Energetic efforts to stop profiteering
in food and supplies were made by
Gov. Towner. As a result of great
damage to the crop, coffee jumped
from 48 cents a pound to IS cents
in some stores. In some places milk
jumped from Is to % cents to so and
IS cents quart. The city was largely
scared from $45 to SIS a thousand

A careful check or damage resulted
in an estimate of $65.000,000. with
many items unlisted. These, it was
believed. would increase the damage
above $100,000,000. Damage to per-
sonal property, public buildings. such
as schools and hospitals: roads, stores
and merchandise was not estimated.

was: Coffee crop, $10,000.000; coffee

it was believed they would be able to
withstand the blow.
The Weather Bureau believed the
storm center passed inland in the vicin-
ity of West Palm Beach, but in the abb
sence of definite reports, was unable to
fix the exact passage or trend OF the
storm. Hurricane warnings. however,
were out along the West Florida Coast,
which the bureau said the storm likely
will reach not far from Tampa" during
today.
Residents in Flight.
If the storm pursued the northwest
ward course 1t has followed since the
sweeping through the West Indies, 1t
would have crossed last night sparse
ly inhabited region bordering Lake
Okeechobee.
Many inhabitants of the lake towns
fed for safety to Lakeland, Avon Park
and other places in central Florida.
Residents from East Coast cities joined
the caravan, after the issuance yeSter-
day from the hurricane warnings, and
were said to have filled the highway
leading across the State. Many auto
lists sought safety by driving northward
up the East Coast Highway.
Several cities in central Florida re-
ported increasing winds last night, but
damage, II any, was minor In most
of them, according to available reports.
Increasing winds were reported from
west coast cities and towns, but the
inhabitants were prepared for the blow,
which. they believe, will not be severe.
1t was believed that the storm would
blow much of its power out on its
trip across the peninsula.

the hurricane apparently passed over
near Nassau. capital of the Bahamas,
isolating the group from communica-
ton with the outside world. Two OPP
orators have vainly been calling from
the tropical radios station at Hileah
here for the several wireless points in
the islands. but had been unable last
night to raise any of them.
Shipping Is Safe.
No distress was reported from ship
ping. Vessels had been warned in adj
vance and put into the first available
port to await the passage of the hur-
ricane. Mountainous seas were report
ed from the vicinity of the path taken
by the storm, one vessel wirelessing
that it had encountered 90-mile winds.
Weather Bureau reports were that
winds of 100 miles an hour velocity
accompanied the storm as 1t advanced
upon the Florida coast.
Correspondents of the st. Petersburg
Times, who started for the east coast,
got through a message to that news
paper early today from Frost Proof,
saving that they had encountered a
heavy storm there, with the wind blow
ing in excess of so miles an hour
Frost Proof lies in the central part
of the State east-southeast of Tampa
They reported that as they neared
the town they were asked for ride
by man and five little children, who
said that their home had been blown
over In Frost Proof they found large
numbers of people huddled together in
an arcade building for protection.
