 The President appeared unmind- full of the rain and waved away the proffered offer of an umbrella, de- spite the fact that faculty mezn- bers on the portico sheltered thern- selves. However, he buttcned his coat about him and hunched down in his chair facing an audi ence of several thousand rain- soaked citizens.
 Listened Intently
 He listened attentively during a speech in Latin by Professor F. K. Rand who in the robes of the scholar was the first speaker on the program.
 When MT. Roosevelt gets back to Washington it was expected he would remain for a day or two and then resume his Hyde Park sched- ule. He will then take Mrs. Roose- welt to their Hudson Valley home.
 The President was met here to- day by his sons James and John, the latter Q Harvard undergradu- ate.
 The rain poured monotono1sly through the trees and on the dis- tinguished guests as the program progressed, but there were no indi- cations that the exercises would be transferred indoors.
 The President with Q program in his lap followed the proceedings.
 Radio Rendition
 The exercises opened with @ ra- dio rendition of the bells of South wark cathedral, England, the church in which John Harvard, founder of Harvard college was christened.
 At the conclusion of Q selection by massed singers, Governor James M. Curley, "originaW Roosevelt man of Massachusetts, arose and extended the greetings of the commonwealth.
 He was followed by President James B. Conant of Harvard and John Masefield, poet-laureate of England.
 Curley in his address referred to two great presidents Grover Cleve- larid and Franklin D. Roosevelt"
 Naturally two great democrats, strange to say" he observed.
 The rain let Up as Curley fin- iShed and then Conant took up the program to honor the Universi- ties of Cambridge, Oxford and Paris.

 TRAGEDY PROBES

(Continued from Page 1.) the Connecticut company's West Main street yards this morning but could not be reached for statements. The name of the motor vehicle de- partment representative could not be learned.
 Little Information
 Little information on early re- suits of the investigation could be obtained from offlcial sources, and those who could be reached were reluctant to divulge findings pend- ing the completion of the probe. Coroner Monzani, accompanied by the state troopers, left his offlce early this morning, apparently to inspect the terrain at the scene of the accident.
 In the absence of official deports, rumors persisted that busses have operated over the Cheshire road at unnecessarily high speed.
 Dr. Moore Makes Report
 Reports on the results of exanina- tions of the dead and injured were submitted to the coroner by Dr. Will bur J. Moore of Cheshire, medical examiner for that town, Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, medical examiner for Waterbury, and Dr. Harold F. Morrill,, assistant medical examiner An autopsy performed by pr. Kirschbaum at Waterbury hospital last night disclosed that the death of John F. O'Donnell, driver of the bus, was due to @ compound frac- ture of both legs, both hips, a frac- ture of the skull and Q crushed chest.
 Dr. Moore, Cheshire medical ex- aminer, acted in the deaths of the three women, examining the bodies at the Alderson funeral home. Mrs Galor had been nearly decapitated Miss Norton had 8 severe fracture of the skull, while the direct cause of Miss AnderSofi's death was un. determined. Investigation was ham. pered last night because of the crowds which flocked to the scene shortly after the accident. Curiosity seekers, numbered hundreds, pushed their way to the wreckage of the bus and police were unable to keer the crowd in check, even with the use of ropes.
 Worst in IA Years
 Connecticut company oficials described the accident as the worst in which company owned bus had been involved in IA years. No state- ment on the accident will be avail able until the completion of the iri- yestigations, officials said. The driver, John F. O'Donnell. was described as careful operator, with an excellent record of service.

 Tenth Anniversary
 Today is the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 1S, 1926, hurricane which killed S72 persons, injured and made homeless hundreds of others in Florida.
 September is the month of hurri- canes originating m West Indies waters and sweeping islands in that region and southeastern United States. Since 1900 every hurricane, with one exception, has struck in September.
 In the past s6 years seven major hurricanes out of the Indies and Caribbean have killed more than 12,60O persons and caused upward of $l, 100000 property damage.
 The largest was Sept. 8, 1900, when Q hurricane and tidal wave devas- tated Galveston, Tex, killing 0000 persons.
 Other major hurricanes:
 Cuba, Oct. 20, 1926-600 killed in Havana and nearby towns.
 Florida- Rico, Sept. 12-i7, 1028-2000 killed in Florida and 1000 in Puerto Rico and other islands.

 Puerto Rico, Sept. 27. 1ss2-245 killed.
 Florida, Sept. 3, 1ss5-soo, includ- ing 200 war veterans, killed.
 Coast Guards Seek Plane
 Washington, Sept. 1e-(UPJ - Coast guard crews in the hurri- cane area today directed search for a plane bearing four photographers for the March of Time" unreport- ed since 1t took off from Washing ton yesterday afternoon for Q flight over Cape HatteraS.
 The men left { p. m. Thursday to take pictures of the hurricane area. When they failed to report after 12 hours, coast guard and navy headquarters were advised.
 Coast guardsmen pointed out 1t was possible the plane had landed safely at some isolated point from which the photographers were un- able to report because of disrupted communication lines.
 Red Cross Moves
 Washington, Sept. 18-(U.P.)- The American Red Gross announced today that 1t is moving its head quarters in the hurricane area from New Bern, N. O., northward to Elizabeth City. All communication with Elizabeth City has failed, the Red Cross was advised.
 Maurice Reddy, in charge of the Red Cross unit in the disaster area, advised headquarters here that in New Bern he evidently was consid- erably south of the affected area. After comforting with national officials he started for Elizabeth City and proposed to move further northward as developments justified.

charge d'affaires, on orders from Washington, issued a final warning that those Americans who did not board the Quincy on its present stop at Alicante might not have an- other chance to leave in an Amer. ican ship. He warned also that the embassy would be closed to those who are refuging there.
 Those who wish to board the Quincy must leave tonight.
 Next Tuesday, Americans who have been at the embassy must leave, according to Wendelin's or- ders, and fend for themselves.
 The expected evacuation of 50 Americans from Madrid might in- dicate a situation of great gravity there. Most of the remaining ones United States natives, Puerto RI. cans and Filipinos-have refused all appeals and warning to leave. The usual reason is pressing busi- ness interests, and some Americans would face ruin if they left.
