BALTIMORE CITY
in THE PATH OF
SEVERE STORM
Houses Wrecked, Sewers Flood.
ed, House Struck And One
Man Loses Life

The severe electrical and rain storm
which visited this section in the early
| hours of Wednesday morning was
, severely felt in Baltimore City. One
man, colored, was killed by lightning
and tornado-like wind which swept
the city crashed several buildings.
The storm cut a path from the
western section of the city to the
eastern suburbs. At Light and Red
wood streets lightning struck troll
ley wire and the flaming bolt bounced
from the roof of a street car to the
top of a taxicab.
Streets were flooded in every sec
ton of the city as sewers proved in
adequate to carry off floods of water
from a driving rain which accompan-
led the cyclone.
Tons of water were poured into
the warehouses of S. Shapiro & Sons,
400 block Guilford avenue, where hun
dreds of bales of blazing and smould-
ering paper menaced the entire neigh
borhood and poured great masses of
smoke over the yards of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
Firemen worked frantically to keep
the blaze from spreading into an ad-
joining warehouse of the Bentley
Shriver Company, where large guam
tity of groceries were stored. After
nearly an hours battle it appeared
that the fire was being brought I'M
der control.
Both the burning warehouse and
the adjoining one are owned by w. T.
Thomas.
Firemen reported that the occu-
pants of the building fled as the
flames roared through the structure.
So far as is known, no one was in
jured.
Fire alarms came in quick sue
cession as the blaze spread, appara-
tus being called into service from
every engine house in the central sec
ton of the city.
At 5 P. M, five alarms had been
sounded and the building was still
blazing.
In the 700 block Poplar Grove ST.,
the greatest damage was caused by
the cyclone. Houses were stripped of
their roofs and buildings crashed as
the gale struck.

GOV. COOPERATES
In DISP0SINC OF
POTATO CROPS

Governor Richie, pledging all pos
sible aid to potato growers of the
Eastern Shore, who are burdened by
over production and low prices for
their crops, has delegated Maryland's
fight for higher prices to DR.. Thomas
B. Symonds, head of the University
of Maryland Extension Service.
DR.. Symonds has been named a
member of a committee, including
representatives of Virginia and North
Carolina, two other States whose
farmers have been hit by the low
PRICES for their potatoes.
The committee was named at a
conference in Washington called by
Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
at which the entire situation was
discussed with Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral Relief Administrator, who enter
ed a pledge to purchase at least a
part of the 1000 carload surplus
existing in the three States.
Maryland potato growers enlisted
the aid of Governor Richie following
meeting of two score Somerset and
Worcester County farmers at POGO
moke City. A resolution urging his
cooperation in the efforts of Cover
nors of Virginia and North Carolina
to meet the situation.
Governor Richie said today:
"There was nothing that I could
do about the low prices and overpro-
duction, but I delegated DR.. Raymond
F. Pearson, president Of the Univer-
sity of Maryland and DIR. Symonds,
extension director, to attend the meet
ing.
"They informed me that Mr.. Hop
kinS was sympathetic, and DR.. Sy-
monds now is a mmber of the tri-
State committee which is seeking to
work out some solution. I am more
than glad to give my fullest co-opera-
ton to any program evolved by that
committee"
Growers. of the Eastern Shore
counties point out that they are face
to face with a situation similar to
that in 1928, although the outlook
is that this year is worse, for in 1927
good crops and prices gave the farm
ers some reserve with which to tide
them over the lean year.
They declare that the price of po-
tatoes had declined from $2.25 per
bushel to about SIPS, which they de-
clared is below the cost of production.
They claimed the production was
$1.75 per bushel.
| Besides DR.. Pearson and DR.. Sy-
! monds, Senators Tydings and Colds
borough of Maryland and Byrd, of
Virginia, Senator Bailey Of North
Carolina and Representative T Alan
Goldsborough of Maryland took part
in the conference with Mr.. Hopkins.
