Terrific Hurricane, 50 Miles Wide, Hits Ohio, Causing Loss of Many Millions By the Amociated Pros CHICAGO, June 25.—A terrific hur- ricane late today struck along the south shore of Lake Erie, devastating several Ohio towns and clties and taking a toll of 350 lives. Buildings bridges and trees were leveled, and probably 2,000 persons were injured during the brief but destructive storm. The wind cut a swath nearly fifty miles wide from Sandusky Bay to a point between Lorain and Cleveland. The most extensive damage thus far reported was at Lorain, where rows of buildings were blown over, and a theater was partly caved-in on a Sat- urday afternoon audlence. Lorain Dead May Be 200. The curious wind wrecked a large part of Lorain and killed perhaps 200 of the 40,000 inhabitants. No count has been made of the injured, but estimates run as high as 1,500. For several hours after the fury of the storm abated the uninjured citizens labored alone to rescue the injured and dying from the wrecked theater, It was in this building that most of the casualties occurred. The storm seemed to concentrate on the theater after knocking down a number of other bulldings and shook it so sav- agely that part of the building was tumbled down on imprisoned spec- tators. A large portion of the city fared little better, for in places almost en- tire blocks were devastated, and re- ports tonight sald that upwards of fifty persons were lying in the debris of what was once their homes. Ald Rushed to City. Aid was summoned from Elyria and other points as quickly as possible, but owing to wire prostration and washed-out roads and railways it was difficult to broadcast requests for help. The FEiyria fire department managed to make its way through the storm-littered country to Lorain and ably assisted in rescuing the in- jured and caring for the dead. San- dusky, Ohio, perched on a hiil open to the widespread bay was hit a ter- rific blow by the mad wind, and the streets were soon filled with wreck- ge hurtling about heads of frantic residents seeking protection Railroad wire connections with Lorain, Sandusky and other northern Ohio points between Toledo and Cleveland were practically eliminated tonight as a result of the storm. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad reported that it had a wire to Sandusky for & few minutes late in the day. The New York Central reported all its wires down between Toledo and Cleveland, while the Nickel Plate sald its wires were out of commission in the storm area Damage in Millions. Five persons were killed in San- dusky, according to a_meager report reaching the telegraph offices of the New York Central railroad here to- night from their operator in the San- dusky station. The storm descended almost with- out warning, overturned automobiles, unroofed : houses and swept by so rapidly that beds and other furniture were left almost untouched. The property damage will amount to many millions of dollars, and reports have not begun to come from the other regions. The operator said his conviction was based on reports given to him by other railroad men. The city electric light plant system was paralyzed, he said, throwing the ¢ity In total darkness. An automobile ferry loaded with cars and passengers was overturmed, the re- port to the local offices continued, but all persons aboard with their automo- biles were saved.

Up 1o a late hour no word had been re- ceived from the Chippewa, which car- ried several hundred passengers, but word came that several persons had been swept overboard from both the Reliance and the Boeckling. Troops Rusked to Clitiem. It was several hours after the storm struck before word of the disaster reached the outside world. Wires were torn down in the tangled maze and conditions were &0 bad that only the most hardy ventured to carry word by automobile. As soon as word finally got out to uninjured cities assistance was rushed to those In need. The Red Cross pre- pared {o send hundreds of tents and other necessary supplies to the storm center, while Ohio's troops were order- ed mobilized at Toledo and Cleveland to proceed to the stricken cities. Gov. Donahey of Ohin ordered some of the troops rushed to Lorain in taxi cabs, with others to follow as soon as mobilized. Fate of Trains Unknown. Little was known of the fate of rail- road trains in the path of the storm, as dispatching wires were down, many left in a dangerous position.
