EXPERIENCE BACK
OF U. S. MINISTER
Curtis Described Here as a
"Veteran OF Caribbean
TribuIations."

Charged with supervising both the re-
lief and reconstruction of American
affairs in hurricane-swept Santo Do
mingo, Charles B. Curtis, American
Minister to the island republic, brings
to his task more than 20 years ex-
perience in foreign affairs.
Curtis, to whom the Red Cross
already has turned over $4,000 of relief
funds, was described today by his
friends in the State Department as a
veteran of Caribbean tribulations" and
an ideal man for the job.
Helped QuelI RevOIts.
He has aided in quelling at least two
Latin American revolutions and has
served through more than one natural
upheaval OF storm or earthquake, with
their consequent reconstruction efforts.
The 52-year-old diplomat was born
in New York City and was graduated
from Harvard. His first post was in
Leningrad as secretary to the Ambas-
sador, and thereafter he served in Con-
stantinople and Christiania before his
appointment as consul general at Santo
Domingo in 1912. After that date Curtis
foreign service carried him to many

American Minister late in 1929.
Commended by StimsOn.
He had scarcely been installed in his
new office before the Dominican revo-
luton of last February broke out. In
the subsequent upheaval, decades of
diplomatic service stood him in such
good stead that he was off1cially COM
mended by Secretary Stimson.

ment forces and his quickneSs in dis
patching a young secretary of the lega-
ton, John M. Cabot with news of the

described on the front pages of many
American newspapers.
Friends of Curtis in the State De-
partment recall also his activities as
intermediary during the revolution in
Guatemala in 1921. They describe him
as cool, slow-spoken, thoughtful and
studious," and as q man whose sense
Of proportion is seldom shaken"

ton by the President was unnecessary
at this time.
While no general campaign will be
conducted, he said the Red Cross has
authorized its chapters in the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Balti-
more, Washington, Miami, Jacksonville
and New Orleans to proceed with plans
for canvassing subscriptions to relief
fund.
Similar authority also has been ex-
tended to the Porto Rico Chapter and
chapters in Santo Domingo
The Red Gross official informed the
President that a total of $4,000 has
already been made available for relief
sufferers. OF this amount the Red
Cross today gave $4,000 to Minister
Curtis. DR.. Sernos- Lsern, deputy COM
missioner Of health for Porto Rico, the
President was informed, is going TO the
island with physicians and nurses. He
has bought $4,000 worth Of medical
supplies for immediate use and Gov.
Roosevelt of Porto Rico has made SIS
600 available to Minister Curtis.

Death Toll May Go Higher, with
Country to BE Heard From.
BY the Associated Press.
SANTO DOMINGO, September s.
Property losses of not less than $20,-
900 900 were caused by the hurricane
which took toll of 1000 lives and in
jured 5000 persons in this capital on
Wednesday.
Hunger began to stalk through the
debris-filled streets this afternoon, al
though many thousands of persons had
been provided with emergency ration
ing.
Prisoners Work on Streets.
There were so many persons to be
supplied with food that the force OF
relief workers had to be increased hour
duty.
The hope was expressed by oflcialS
that early arrival of supplies would al
leviate the situation somewhat.
A gang Of prisoners was put to work
today in the streets helping to clear
away the wreckage.
All food stuffs will be brought to the
fortress as soon as they arrive. An
adequate committee was forming today
to strictly handle the distribution, as
rationing will be one of the most
serious problems in administering re-
lief not only in the city, but through
out wide area where death and Desc
lation are believed to have resulted
The problem of landing supplies, once
they arrive, arose today. The River
Ozama is flooded and filled with wreck
age and navigation is all but impossible.
The customs warehouses have been de-
stroyed.
The authorities have said that 10000
persons, at a minimum, are homeless
and in urgent need and q way will be
found to get the supplies of the ships.
Half Of City Is ShambIes.
More than half of the capital city is
a shambles. Roofs were lifted off build
ings by the wind, which sometimes
reached velocity of more than $50
miles an hour. The great bridge across
the OZama River was destroyed and the
buildings of the Pan-American Always
were blown to pieces.
President Rafael Trujillo, in confer
ence with Maj. Cary I. Crockett, repre-
sentative Of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of
Porto Rico, who flew here from San
Juan, and with American Minister
Charles B. Curtis, said that 800 dead
had been counted and that the number
in the city might reach even higher,
with the remainder of the country yet
to be heard from.
The All-American Gable Co. re-
established communications with the
exterior. Telegraph lines to the interior
have vanished, and the entire COM
munications system of the republic has
been totally disrupted, with bridges
wrecked and roads impossible. There
has been virtually no word from the
rest of the republic.
The hurricane struck Santo Domingo
at 2 pm. Wednesday, and blew at full
force for four hours. Houses in the
aristocratic quarter were destroyed
along with those of less pretentious
character. The insane asylum was de-
stroyed, and escaping inmates ran wild
through the city's streets, adding 10 the
disorder and confusion.
Soldiers and police finally captured

Fred Doreen was in the little
office building, adjacent to the
poultry houses, bringing his &C.
counts up to date. Oliver AL
bright was locking up the poul-

Oliver, and John had their
sleeping quarters in the three
rooms of the bungalow.
When Chief Wingate de-
parted he left the police officer
on guard. Dale walked slowly
to the Rolfe cottage. The first
gray streaks of dawn were in
the east before he stretched
wearily in bed and fell in
stantly into deep slumber. He
had spent many hours trying to
piece the tragedy together, real.
izing at the end that there were
many things he had still to
learn. .
The following forenoon he
spent almost two hours in the
hull of the wreck without any
gratifying results. He had
lunch with Chief Wingate and
received the complete report of
DR.. Endress. Avery Boyleston'S
death had been due to drowning.
Wingate was at a loss to pro-
ceed; there was, in fact, no
actual proof that a murder had
been committed. Dale sug-
gested that there might be some
thing for him to work on after
certain interviews during the
afternoon.
Toward evening Dale called

her alone in the sitting room.

II don't like to make the or.
deal any harder, Mrs. BoyleS-
ton," Dale said, but there are
some things I'd rather hear
from you than anyone else. I'm
afraid can't believe in ghosts,
and if there's a fiend loose in
this house the sooner the truth
is learned the better chance
there is to avoid a repetition of
the tragedy"
"I'll try to help you," she said,
in a low, even tone.
I'D like to know about Mr..
Boyleston's will. How were
things left?"
THE estate was left equally
to Avery and Ernest. but I was
to remain here and enjoy it as
long as I lived. If they died
first the only other living rela-
tive was Oliver Albright. The
estate would then descend to
him when I died. That was
ALL"
It was rather less complicated
than Robin Dale had antici~
pated. Yet, it opened new
channel for consideration.
"Of course, If either Avery or
Ernest married and had a child
it would have been different. II
they died the child would be the
heir" Mrs. BoyleSton thought
a moment and then nodded.
Before Dale could proceed.

A COnfucing Invitation
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
My niece came over to invite
my mother to her wedding cere-

I, her aunt, live with my mother
and was in the same room when
she invited my mother. I would
like to know if it is proper for
me to go to church to the cere-
mony? I think that it is not,
for I am her aunt, and if she
had wanted me to attend, she
would have asked me if were
going to attend. She did not say
a word to me about the wed.
ding, and we have not had any
misunderstanding. Please let
me know whether it is proper to
go, as I feel that she does not
want me. From her mothers
side, none of her uncles or aunts
were invited to the ceremony.
MRS. F. j.
To interpret this invitation or
noninvitation would be, I be-
lieve, too much for an outsider
to do. Apparently your niece
has had to limit her invitations,
or at least she did limit them.
And believe that If she had
meant to invite you, she would
have made her invitation per
fectly clear. Especially since
you were in the room when she
extended her invitation to your
mother.
