Between 1,500 and 2,000 persons, it is estimated now, died in the hurricane which swept Santo Do- mingo, cradle of the white race in the New World. More than 5,000 were injured.

Y., Woman Snys; She Saw Missing Jurist. Br the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, September 6.—A re- port that Joseph F. Crater, missing Supreme Court justice, was seen last Wednesday near the Canadian border held the attention of police today. A woman resident of Rouses Point, WN. Y., on the border, who said she had seen the missing justice there declared she could point him out to searchers. A city detective, now in Canada on other business, was in- structed to investigate. A published report that the justice, who dropped from sight a month ago, had been found by friends in a lonely | cabin near Montreal was denied by Iriends here and scouted by police. Since the justice’s disappearance, Federal investigators, it was learned, have examined his bank books in an effort to determine any connection be- tween him and George F. Ewald, former city magistrate, accused of buying his office for $10,000. It was understood that no connection has thus far been found. FLYERS T0 ARRIVE | Department division of Mitchell Predicts Waning Hurricane May End Drought Weather Forecaster Fore- sees General Showers Over Wide Area. By the Associated Press. Charles L. Mitchell, weather fore- caster, predicted today that the rem- FRENCH AIRMEN LEAVE LOUISVILLE Coste and Bellonte Plan to Drop Flags Over Mili- nants of the destructive tropical hur- ricane, coupled with an atmospheric disturbance developing West of the Rockies, would break the drought which has affected many sections. The meteorologist said the outlook was for a period of general showers in the middle of the week in the North and Middle Atlantic States, frequent showers in the South Atlantic States and a period of general showers, be- ginning about Tuesday, in the Ohio Valley and Tennessee. He explained that in the rear of the hurricane remnant now in the Gulf of Mexico was a mass of moist, warm air, which is coming into the Gulf States. The cool disturbance, west of the Rockies, he said, would pull the warm air from the Southern regions and would combine with it to form general showers throughout drought-stricken sections. “If the hurricane dwindles to almost nothing, as now seems likely,” he said, "1: :fll cause considerable rain without wind.” R HERE: TOMORROW Army and Navy Planes Will Escort “?” to Bolling Field. ‘Washington tomortow will don its best bib and tucker and get ready to give the biggest welcome since Lind- bergh came home to Maj.

By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va, September 6.-— Representative Jacob A. Garber of Har- risonburg and M. J. Putnam of Clifton Forge, Republican nominees in the sev- enth and tenth Virginia congressional districts, failed to file notice of their candidacies with the secretary of the commonwealth before last midnight and may find their names omitted from the official ballot. Peter Saunders, secretary of the commonwealth, said he interpreted the law requiring notices to be filed 60 days before election as meaning that such notices must be in his hands before the time limit expired. Should the Republican nominees in the seventh and tenth districts be left off the official ballot, voters might cast their ballots for them by writing in their names. Mr. Garber said at Harrisonburg that he overlooked filing the notice within the prescribed time. Mr. Putnam could whether he had mailed his notice to the secretary of the commonwealth, Mr. Garber was elected to Congress seventh district Republicans to succeed himself. He is opposed by John W.

NEW YORK, September 6 (#).—The | liner Leviathan, swung out of her course by A strong tide, rammed two barges in the Hudson River as she departed for Europe today with 528 passengers. The liner was undamaged and continued to sea. | One of the barges, fouled by the port | { anchor of the liner, dragged several | | hundred feet down the river, overturned | and sank. Three men leaped to safety | from the two barges, owned by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The incident was expected to give Commodore Harold Cunningham a new point in his argument with the Pilot's | Association of New York as to who should pilot the ship in and out of the harbor. | Commodore Cunningham for severnli years had used only William McLaugh- | lin, who, he said, was the only man | competent to handle the biggest thing | afloat, with her draft of 36 feet, in the water of New York Harbor. This Summer, when the association assigned another pilot to the task, the commodore brought the ship in himself, as he is qualified to do. He continued this procedure each time a strange pilot was assigned. After several conferences he made peace with | the association and since the first of August has accepted the pilot assigned. Pilot Frank D. Wall was on the bridge today when the accident oc- curred. The pllots are pald on the basis of the draft of the vessel—tne number of feet she extends under water— and Mc- Laughlin therefore had the most re- munerative job. Whether this was the cause of the association’s rule of ro- tation was not known. §606,630 FIRE LOSS DROP OF §200,079 D. C. Report for Year Shows 4,692 Alarms Turned In, 507 Increase. In spite of the increased number of buildings in the District, the annual report of the Fir Department, published | today, again shows a substantial de- crease in the value of property destroyed by fire during the past fiscal year. The report states that the loss was $888,630, a decrease of $200,079 from the loss reported in the 1929 fiscal year. This decrease was registered in the face of an increased number of alarms answered by department apparatus. During the year there were 4,692 fire alarms, including 22 multiple alarms, an increase of 507 over the previous year, There were but 15 mul- tiple alarms during the preceding year. Of the alarms 3,502 were for fires within the District, 735 for causes other than fire, 425 gere false and 30 calls were for aid omiside of the Dis- trict. The false alarms represented an increase of 125 over the number sounded in the. previous year, and in | only one case was a conviction secured. The defendants in this case were three small boys. Thirty-three of the fires were incendiary and the department regarded 51 others as “suspicious.” Police made six arrests in connection with the incendiary fires. The fire’ loss per capita (based on the last census) is $1.83, the report states, a decrease of 14 cents per capita | over the 1929 loss. Recent Fire Not Listed. ‘The fire which destroyed the Federal Trade Commission’s temporary building is not listed in the report, as it oc- curred after the close of the fiscal year covered. The White House fire, the Mc- Crory 5 and 10 cent store disaster, the Capitol blaze, the fire at Bolling Field and the Hub warehouse fire are among some of the major disasters listed. The heaviest loss in any one fire was given as $166,608, recorded at the Rudolph & West fire last June 13. Careless smoking was blamed for 518 fires, backfiring and other defects in automobiles for 761, brush, grass an leaves for 301; short circuits for 225, oil burners for 51, children playing with matches for 151, and miscellaneous causes for 682.

STOCKHOLM, September 6.—There w a growing opinion among members of the Swedish press that the diaries of Salomon August Andree are not to be the object of any deal. The president of the Swedish Pub- lishers’ Association said today: “The idea that we should permit news agencies and newspapers to overbid each other for them is absurd. On the other hand, the finders should have some reward, which Sweden can easily afford. But this reward must not neces- sarily be in proportion to the vast sum said to be already on deposit with the foreign office.” The Associated Press was asked by ' Swedish officials about the proper dis- position of the Andree diary, and ad- vised that a document of such world- wide interest should be made available for simultaneous use by the press throughout the world without com- mercial consideration. At least one other American news agency made the same recommendation. NOBILE RELIC BELIEVED FOUND, Magnetic Instrument in Mahogany Box ,May Indicate Aretic Currents.
