’ NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1930. amo Docks In New York Today; Skipper, lfassengers' Describe Storm New York, Sopt. 3 /P—The liner Coamo, bearirg th2 scars of her ter- rific struggls ugainst annihilation in the hurricane that swept the Car- ¥ibbean last week and spread disas- ter over the island of Santo Domin- Bo, arrived today from San Juan, with 253 passengers, five of whom | sere aboard the ship during the | Btorm. Captain Thomas G. Evans, who| has been with the line since 1894, | said the -storm was the worst he ever experienced. Covers were torn from lifeboats; skylights were rip- ved loose over the public rooms ani ports of the cuperstructure were shattered. Captain Evans said the ship had been drenched as though it had been submerged. He and his chief engineer, J. J. McGough, agreed that the list of the ship was above 40 degrees, sometimes as highw as 45| and 47 degrees. | “At the height of the hurricane, the wind reached a velocity such ag I have never experienced and tho barometer fell until it could go no lower on the ameroid scale,” said the captain. The five who were on the ship during the hurricane were Mary Salzman, Paterson; N. Anna Bird, Jersey City; Effie Anderson Jersey City; Francis Hart Paterson and R. N. Peck, an advertising man | of Hartford, Conn. The five werc profuse in their praise of the captain and the sturdi- ness of the ship. “We prayed,” said Miss Hart. “We foynd places on the lounges and re- mained there. Every time the ship went over we thought it was all over. It did not look as if we would ever come out of it alive.” The ship was surveyed at San Juan and her hull and engines tound to be in perfect condition. A survey of the damage of the cabins and public rooms will be made to- day. | | can VATION ORGANIZES AGAINST DISEASE.

The blast destroyed the vessel, flaming fragments of which set fire to 18 other sailboats and one seamship nearby. Some of the boats burned rapidly and their crews threw themselves ‘into the water, but it was feared many were burned fatally. pital up to yesterday had treated more than 2,000 injured and per formed 100 emergency major op- erations. Plane starts Trip ‘Philadelphia, Sept. 9.—(A—Lad- en with medical supplies and sur- gical instruments, a naval transport plane, piloted by Lieutenant A. P. Storrs, took off from the navy yard | here today on the first leg of a | flight to Santo Domingo. The plane was one of three order- ed by the navy department to carry upplies, requested by the Domini- government, for treatment of housands of cases of gangrene rampant since the hurricane devas- | tated the city a week ago. To Meet Two Fliers At Hampton Roads, Lieut. Storrs will be two planes, piloted by Major Roy Geiger, of the marine corps, and Lieut. C. F. Harper. They will make the trip by way of Atlanta, Miami, Camagu Cubd, and Port Au Prince, Haiti. Lieut. Storrs flew here from Washington last night and his plane was loaded with 600 pounds of vac- cines, antitoxines, and hypodermic syringes for administering anti- | tetanus serums: | At Hampton Roads the cargoes | so that each plane will have a cargo of 2.000 pounds of the anti-toxins, anaesthet- ics, surgical dressings and surgical instruments. | | | | Virginia, | joined by the | Food and Water Problem Santo Domingo, Sept. 9 (A—Fur- | nishing of food and water to Santo Domingo’s stricken thousands be- came today a problem of increasing importance to national and Red | Cross authorities superintending hurricane relief. Soldiers of the Dominican Guar- dia, with United States sailors stand- | ing by, suppressed a food riot yes- terday at one of the wharves where from the U. sweeper “Grebe."” More than 100 persons watched on the wharf as the supplies were unloaded, and then rushed the la- borers who were stacking them on the dock. The Guardia held them off while Dominican and American officers quigkly posted their men in strategic positions and speakers as- S. destroyer-mine AT SOUTH CHURGH | gational church Monday evening at n — here today. With this information an ordgr was issued for closing of | all water taps in the city to prevent | wastage. A hospital survey just completed shows that more than 1,200 serious- ly injured persons are receiving treatment in 13 hospitals and im- | promptu first aid stations in the | city. Many of them have gangrenous |infections, and almost all of them |have infections of some Kkind. | No Accurate Death Count | |~ Thus far no adequately accurate |Count of the dead has been possible. The loss of life has been so great |that no effort to report deaths to | |a central office has been made. Cre- mation of bodies found still con- tinues. Dr. E. Silva, a member of twe Porto Rican relief unit, declared that 80 bodies wére taken from one hospital yesterday and buried to- gether in an abandoned cistern be- {hind a private home near Colum- |bus park, in the heart of the city. | The bodies were thrown into the | cistern, partly burned and then cov |ered with earth. PURLIG AUBITION 4 Yoices of Amateur Vocalists to Be Tested Monday The local radio audition will be in the form of a free public concert in the chapel of the South Congre- o'clock, it was announced today’| | by the audition committee. Walter L. Magnuson, manager of |the audition, attended a meeting of he executive board of the New Bri- ain Musical club last night when it {was decided to prefer a public audi- tion instead of a private audition for the contestants, if the public audi- tion possibly could be arranged. The Musical club sponsored the radio audition for this district, which in- cludes all of Hartford county so far as is known. Arrangements were made this morning to have the audition in the South church chapel, officials of the church being well dsposed to co- operate in providing this public event. Although the public will see and hear the contestants in person, the judges will decide which singers are worthy of participating in the state audition to follow. There are seven districts in the state, and the local audition, which comprises the dis- trict including Hartford and vicinity, will probably 'be among the most important held in Connecticut. Mrs. Ruth Schade Smedley, 597 | Arch street, is chairman of the com- mittee receiving the names of con- testants and all amateur vocalists betweeRl the ages of 18 and 25 who desire to take part need to com- municate with her, or to any other member of her committee, to enroll. The other members of this commit- | tee are Mrs. J. J. Crean, Mrs. H. E. Christensen, Miss Margaret Traver, John Lindsay and Israel Rosenberg. There is no fee of any kind. sured the people that the rations would be distributed as soon as pos- sible. Most of the crowd had not eaten since Wednesday, when ths hurricane struck the city Amount Too Small Although a considerable amount | of food has been brought here from Porto Rico by steamers the Ruth | Lykes and Catherine and the U.
