Relief workers today reported that approximately 2,000 were homeless in southwestern Oklahoma where tornadoes Saturday night swept gbrough a fertile farming dis- trict leaving a trail of debris 40 miles Tonk and from three to five miles wide. The towns of Blair and Headrick were hardest hit Three persons were killed at Blair and Scores injured as the twister sped on toward Headrick ‘where three negroes were believed to have per- ished. The damage to buildings and live- stock losses in Jackson, Kiowa and Tillman counties was estimated at more than half a million dollars. While rescue parties today con- tinued to inspect debris, virtually all of the residents of the Oklahoma storm areca had been accounted for. Otis Rice, formerly of Kiowa coun- ty, was missing. Several commun- ities were isolated when railroad and highway brid¢2gs were destroyed and telephone lines leveled. Arm: tents were sent from Fort Sill to provide shelter for the homeless. Tornadoes caused considerable property damage yesterday in the vicinity of, Chanute and Emporia, Kansas. Salina also was struck by a high wind that unroofed buildings. No loss of life was reported in Kan- sas. Heavy rains in central and east- ern Kansas sent streams to flcod levels, In the northwest section of the state, rains delayed the wheat harvest. TO BE LOWER, Eggs, nee. and Butter! Rates from North Dakota to Duluth Affected Washington, D. C., June 18.—(#) —Readjustment of rates on butter, eggs and dressed poultry moving to Duluth was ordered tonlay: by the Interstate Commerce Commission, on the theory that existing sched- ules are unduly preferential to Chi- cago and prejudicial to Duluth. Railro: ordered to make new y 5. The commission described the new rate base as giving Duluth charges equal to 115 per cent of the Chi- cago scale from South Dakota, and Northern Nebraska points, while from North Dakota and Northern Minnesota the Duluth schedule will Chicago 120 per cent of the le. To guide the roads in making schedules, the commission laid down two distance schedules by which shipments from South Da- kota, Northern Nebraska and South- ern Minnesota territcry will pay 20 12 cents per 100 pounds for dis- tances of 10 miles, 84 cents for dis- tances of 500 miles and 1.67 for distances of 1,100 tniles from North ota and Northern Minnesota. The distance scale, begun at 21 1-2 cents for ten mile distances, rose to 87 1-2 cents for 500 miles and reached $1.70 1-2 for 1,100 miles. Peaporsionate charges for inter- liate distances were provided in both scales. The decision resulted from re-examination of a former decision on the same subject.

He said he had | pointed out his exact situation t the planes. Captain Riiser-Larsen and Lieu- tenant Luetzow Holm, the flyers, however, returned from their flight |} and reported they had not seen the missing men of the Italia. They flew from the ice breaker Braganza | which sailed to the north of Spitz- bergen with their plane aboard. The men returned to the ship after a flight of an hour over the district where the group of surviv- ors headed by Nobile was thought to be. They said they did not see the tent which he had painted red to guide them despite the good vis- ibility. Nobile in his wireless message asked advice as how to treat the shin bone of his right leg which was fractured when the cabin of the Italia was torn off by striking the ice cap. He said the fracture was about ready to heal. The two airmen tock off at six o'clock last night from the steam- ship Braganza and flew from Northcape to the poin. where Gen- eral Nobile and his five companions are on the ice five niles east of Foyn Island. Both planes carried provisions and clothes for the stranded men but the aviators saw nothing of them or of their eleven companions who have been missing for many weeks. Although the Pei saibs in their two planes Apnarertl ly were over Gen- eral Nobile and his men over a pe- riod of at least one hour, they saw nothing of them. This information was felt at Kings Bay to indicate how difficult it will be to locate the Nobile party on the wide ice terrain where they are stranded. Five Persons Killed As Car Hits Trolley Jamestown, N. Y., June 18.—(4)— Five persons, three ‘young men from Erie, Pa., and two young women of this city, were instantly killed here early Sunday when their automobile collided head on with a trolle car. The automobile, said to be travel- ing at a high rate of speed, was driven across a viaduct in the op- peette direction to an approaching rolley car. The five bodies were hurled high into the air and the automobile, a Hatt coupe, with a rumble seat, was molished.

Air Passage Completed by Three Americans in 20 Hours and 49 Minutes London, June 18.—@)—The first air crossing of the Atlantic ocean by_a woman has beer accomplished. The American Hydro-airplane, Friendship, carrying Miss Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz Louis Gordon, was reported in a press pened gfe a) to have landed in Burry Estuary off Burryport, Wales, at 12:40 p. m. (6:40 a. m. Eastern standard time), just 20 hours and 49 minutes affer hopping off from Trepassey, Newfoundland. Her crew looked very well when taken ashore by motorboat and did not appear fatigued by the 2,000 mile air journey from Trepassey, Newfoundland. A motorboat immediately went out and took the plane’s passengers ashore in the presence of hundreds of people who ran across the marshy swamp near the scene for a distance of three-quarters of a mile to greet the intrepid aviators. Not in years has this tiny port experienced such a thrill as when the big plane swooped into the Estuary carrying the first woman ever to cross the Atlantic by air. It was doubtful if many people in the little port even knew that the plane was en route from Newfound- land. However, it did not take long for news of the great achievement to spread and the population quiv- ered with excitement at being in on such a Zeat. Bad weather and heavy mist, ac- companied the Vriendship for the greater part of her journey, while rain was almost incessant, pilot Wilmer Stultz told the Associated Press correspondent. “As you know,” he said, “we hopped off from Newfoundland at 9:51 o'clock yesterday morning and intended landing in Ireland. How- ever, lack of fuel foreed our hand jand we had to look for a landing | place elsewhere. Stultz was in the best of spirits jand immediately went off to the jtelephone to give news of the ar- \tival of the Friendship and to order fresh supplies of gasoline. He said it was the intention of he crew to proceed to Bristol, which was their destination, as soon as possible. Miss Earhart, whose bobbed hair | was bound in a colored bandeau, | later added a few words to this | brief statement, despite the fact that, as she said “We are all tired and hungry.” Asked if any untoward incident Bae occurred on the long hop’ she sai “We could get no wireless com- munication on the way, but we saw a steamer this morning and thought she would let somebody know we had crossed.” When asked what Miss Mabel Boll, who had hoped to be the first ‘woman to fly the Atlantic, would Sisk iad that pe Page social worker made the trip, Miss Earhart said si “Oh, there was no race between us across the Atlantic. That was faked by the American newspapers.” PARENTAL REFUSAL - DIDN’T STOP AMELIA Los Angeles, June 18.—(—A be ture of his danahier as a slight determined girl, who t let ae ental disapproval stand in the way of herlearningtofly, wasdrawn here today by Edwin S. Earhart, father of Amelia Earhart, who, with two companions, hopped off yesterday in the tri-motored plane Friendship in an attempted transatlantic flight. Earhart, a Los Angeles attorney, although he disapproves of his daughter’s flying, could. not conceal his pride as he told of her air and scholastic exploits and .anok. of her cour: and unwavering nerve. Miss Earhart came to Los Angeles after her graduation from Columbia university. One of the first Shines she did was to buy an airplane learn to operate it. All thi without the knowledge of her fi Has Flown 500 Hours “You see,” said Earhart, “she is wealthy in Ler own righi, so there was nothing to prevent bar buyin, two or three planes if wanted them. When I first dicen that she was flying I told her that I was strongly agai: st it, bu. that was about all I could do abou it, under the circumstances. She was then about 19 or 20 years of age. Since then, I understand, from Comman- der Byrd, she has spent fully 56° hours in the air, and during tn time she never has had an acti- lent.” After she finished her chementary, }-| school: ing She wes mere 30: 6 £ ane school in Philadelphia. as “phe- graduated ia —- {characterized her progress she om
