HURRICANE TOLL
REACHES 1000
Epidemic Feared as Relief
Workers Take Charge in
Ell Salvador.

SAN SALVADOR, June lire
lief workers today estimated the
dead at 1000 in the hurricane which
devastated this area last week. They
emphasized that the total was a
rough estimate pending an official
checkup.
Reports of relief workers and
aviators, however, made it certain
that the death toll would be huge
One pilot reported that he flew
over the stricken district and found
only few buildings standing at
Acajutla. He said an unidentified
steamship had been sunk at the
mouth of the Rio Lempa. Only the
top of one funnel showed. Many
bodies were floating near the wreck
age and other bodies we're sighted
on shore.
The pilot said a railroad train
had been hurled from the tracks
and carried 100 yards by the hur-
ricane. The train wreckage, up
side down, could be seen plainly, he
reported.
Flood waters were as deep as
twenty feet in many places and
covered huge area.
Fear of an epidemic continued
strong and every relief and sanitary
measure possible was taken to COM
bat disease. A plea was sent out
for serum to aid in fighting dis
ease.

statesman writes.
He read on:
Declaring that the women of
America never had better friend
than Louis Ludlow, or one who
devoted more sincere, genuine eff
fort to assist in improving the lot
of women in life, the National
Women's party, which sponsored
the Equal Suffrage amendment,

the Democratic nomination for
the senate.

spondent. It had never occurred
to him to be candidate for any
office, but he was deeply inter-
ested in assisting women to

view of national conditions led
him to believe that women had
many God-given rights that were
not respected by man-made laws.
Through the fourteen large
metropolitan newspapers he rep
rented in Washington he assisted
in a campaign of education from
coast to coast that was materially
helpful in bringing about the
woman suffrage amendment.

All the candidates besides Mr..
Peters, Mr.. Minton and Mr.. Manion

considered a possible choice.

The plane apparently had not
caught fire until it smashed into the
trees by the side of the gully. It
was not nose-down, but I couldn't
tell exactly how it struck.
1t seems to me that the pilot was
caught in one of the swirling up

and that ne was fighting his way

he crashed.
Evidently the plane then caught
fire and the people in it were

treacherous currents in the noun

crashed.

heavy tangle of trees and under
brush. It was not visible from the

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Impas-
stoned speeches, angry outbursts
and bitter personal disputes among
senators today threw the senate
Tugwell hearing into a blazing
political forum.
Rexford Guy Tugwell, called to
testify on his fitness to be under
secretary of agriculture, almost was
neglected as senators fought among
themselves, delivered stump speeches
in frenzied oratorical vein and en-
gagged in bitter personal exchanges.
The speech making broke out
after DR.. Tugwell, handsome and
dapper, had denied he was trying to
overthrow the Constitution and said
that the Constitution is flexible
enough for any changes that may
be necessary in Americas economic
life.
Mr. Tugwell faced the senate in
ouisitors in defense of his fitness to
be under secretary of agriculture.
He now is assistant secretary. The
promotion carries an $1,000 pay in
crease and perhaps an automobile.

RAIN FAILS TO
REVIVE CROPS
Wheat to Yield Only so Per
Cent of Normal; Oats
Ruined.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 11.-Clouds over
wide portions of the middle west
promised continuation today of
drought breaking rains which fell
last week after the most protracted
dry period in American history.
Heavy rains fell in western Cana
da and Nebraska yesterday, soaking
dusty topsoil and reviving even the
heat-browned wheat fields.
Crop experts touring the grain
belt after last weeks downpours
still returned pessimistic reports of
for oats and wheat. Corn,
they said, may produce fairly heavi-
ly and late forage crops may remedy
a deficiency in feed for live stock,
but wheat will not average more
than so per cent of normal and oats
are almost universally ruined.
