By Amociated Press ESTABLISHED 189 PORTO RICO LASHED BY FURIOUS STOR \ Wind Reachs 134 Miles an Hour, Gangs Broaks NUMBER OF DEAD UNENOWN Damage Will Run Into Millions— 80 Per Cent of San Jusn Bulld- tngs Collapse—Other Islands Feel Storm's Fury. New York, Sept. 14 UP—The tropi- cal islands of the West Indies were raked today by a devastating hurri- cane that caused steadily increasing destruction to property ashore, dam- age to ships at sea, and death of an undetermined number of people. Reports from the zone of destruc- tion were incomplete, but they were enough to ehow that the storm was of unusual fury, a whirling blast that would leave a wide wake of esolation. Gets Full Fury rto Rico, largest of the bodies of d in the storm’s path, was ap- parently the victim of the full fury of the tempest. The winds, veering madly in the usual style of these storms as the air currents rush toward the moving vortex, reached 134 miles an hour. Then the wind gauge at 8an Juan broke but the wind increased and some estimates placed Its greatest rate as around 150 miles an hour. Few buildings can withstand pressure of that degree and eighty per cent of the houses around San <Juan gave way. Hospitals and oth- «r more substantial buildings were unroofed, trees were uprooted ard coffee, banana and cocoanut plan- tations destroyed. Appeal For Aid An appeal for help was sent to the Associated Press by Thomas E. Benner, chancellor of the Univer- sity o Porto Rico. He managed to survey the territory within seven miles of the city and reported that millions of dollars worth of proper- ty had been destroyed in that small area. Betore the blow reached Porto Rico it struck the Virgin Islands, another outlying possession of the United States. It also caused much damage in Martinique and in the Twin Island republics of Haiti ard Santo Domingo. Dispatches to the French Cable company office here from Cape Haitien, the northern- nost tip of the island, said that the hurpiéane was rapidly approaching that point and that it had passed over La Romana, a Dominican town on the south coast of the island. All telephonle communication the land was interrupted, & con- ditlon which prevailed in of the elements. The hurricane reached its great- est intensity at 2:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon. bureau to have blown at an average of 100 miles an hour with occa- alonal squalls at 150 miles an hour. | Losses Heavy Shipping losses were believed to be heavy. The freighter Helen dragged its anchor and drifted on the rocks at the entrance of the! harbor. Two sailing vessels appeared frem the shore to be sinking. The city was plunged in darkness and transportation halted. Com- munication with other parts of the island was cut off and it thought that days would be required before it was restored. Weather bu- Teau officlals believed, howeve that San Juan had probably borne the brunt of the storm and that the south side of the island had not suffered so greatly. The hurricane ripped the roof off | the Palace hotel in the center of | the city. Part of the roof of the! Union club was carried away. The governor's palace was flooded. ‘Windows and doors were blown in.

BEEF SETS RECORD PRICE IN MARKETS { Gost Is Reported Higher Than During World War SHORTAGE OF BEST GRADE Excess of Cattle and Low Prices Several Years Ago Blamed for Present Situation—Pork and Veal Expensive, Beef for the family table, dealers said today, is now more expensive than at any time in years.
