Copyright 1929 by unitsc Pres.,
 san Juan. Porto Rico, Sept. 19 (uP)-On the strength of report. which have received 50 far. I would not be warranted in saying that the loss of life from Thur. days hurricane would total 1000.
 It may reach that number, but I must be as nearly accurate RI pox- sible. Within few days, as soon as the interior section can be reach ed and accurate reports received. l will be able to report definitely on the loss of life.
 Many Homeless
 But We know already that at least half of the homes of the peo. pie here were destroyed and shat 100000 persons are homeless. To this terrible loss must be added the destruction of the means of living, All these people must be housed and fed or the resulting loss of life from privation and disease will be far greater than any estimate of the immediate loss oi life.
 There is no disorder on the Is- land. The police are in complete control and the national guard and a United States regiment are assiAt- ing in maintaining order and in the relief work.
 The Red Cross already is organ ized, and detail from .headquar- ters and a large supply of food will be here soon. We are in control Of the situation at present. but will need money and supplies far beyond our resources as soen as possible.

 Major Molas' body was found in the basket of his balloon Sunday night near the village of Caravaca ir the province of Murcia.
 An autopsy today showed that he died from cerebral and pulmonary congestion probably caused by tm- proper functioning of his respira- tory tube at the tremendous alti- tudes reached.
