NyE'S RIB BROKEN
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
North Dakota Senator Was

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November H.
Washington bound after his reelection
Tuesday, Gerald P. Nye, Senator from
North Dakota, suffered rib fracture,
cut and bruises today when his car
skidded and overturned on a slippery
highway. A companion was injured
slightly.
The mishap occurred on a curve near
Hudson, Wis, 20 miles from here. The
38-year- junior Senator, just chosen
for his second full Senate term, was
taken to DR.. A. w. Livingstone's Office
at Hudson and then to hospital here.
DR.. Livingstone attending Nye de-
scribed his injuries as fractured tenth
rib on the left side, shallow cash
behind the right ear, small cut on the
left hand, and many scratches and
bruises.
THE Senator's condition generally
is good" he said. There was no in
jury to the chest cavity. The injuries
beyond the broken rib are minor.
He apparently suffered very little
from exposure since he was picked up
Immediately and there was virtually
no loss of blood. Barring complications
he should recover quickly
Riding with Senator Nye, who was
en- route from his Cooperstown, N OAK,
home to join Mrs Nye in Chicago and
planned to go on to Washington from

Illinois Law Doomed.
"In addition to the States where beer
could be sold today, Illinois is getting
ready to throw out its enforcement act,
which was repealed two years ago by
the Legislature but vetoed by the Gov
ernor. There is also agitation to re-
peal the State prohibition law of Penn
sylvania. These two States would add
millions to the income Of the Federal
Government, as soon as they are able
TO join the Is that are already IN posi-
ton to sell legal beer
"AS soon as the eighteenth amend
ment Is repealed, a tax of l cent glass
means Federal income of $4,000, 900,
even though the IS States which were
dry in 1916 continue to bar the sale of
malt beverages. Should this tax be 2
cents glass, Uncle Sam may reason
ably count on an income Of almost
1887, ,000, 900 per annum. This would
equal more than half Of the deficit
which the Government is now ptling up
and would be at least three times the

on collections for July. August and Sep

Their greatest fear at the moment Is
of a measles epidemic. A few cases
were discovered and the patients quickly
isolated. There is not enough water to
90 around, and the doctors said this
misfortune, with the consequent un-
sanitary conditions, might contribute to
an epidemic.
This evening another trainload of
injured came up from Santa Cruz Del
Sur. When they arrived four who had
started the trip were dead. Among the
others some whose injuries were not
especially serious had developed infec-
tions which made their cases urgent.
Santa Cruz Del Sur itself was a de-
serted wreck of a city. Where $500
persons lived last week there were only
soldiers, sanitary workers and a few
city officials salvaging what they could.
Survivors In Despair.
Here and there a spiral Of smoke
hung over the ruins. 1t has been i'm

Despair Is in the hearts OF the sur
vivors. This morning Francisco Gallo,
60, prominent business man Of Santa
Cruz Del Sur, hanged himself.
Aside from the loss of buildings, small
craft and similar property, the greatest
damage was to the sugar crop.
Cane fields were leveled and sugar in
storage ruined. No estimate of the loss
has been made yet, but a member of
the sugar institute, who arrived from
Havana today, said the 1888 crop from
Camaguey province would be at least
400, 900 bags under what 1t should be.
To make matters worse, he said, ex-
perience has shown that hurricane
damage reduces the productivity of
sugar cane by August 2h per cent.
