Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Other Florida Cities From the Carribean Sea Friday night a tropical storm hurled itself upon the southeastern coast of Flori da, devastating Miami, Ft, Lauder dale, Hollywood, and other lower Florida cities. Hundreds are known 1 to be dead, while the missing run the number above a thousand. Thous ands were injured and tens of thous ands left homeless. Estimates »of the damage to prop i ei ty reached as high as two hundred i millions, but a more conservative es timate later stated the loss as ? 50,000,000. The mushroom-city of Hollywood, with its towering hotels and snlendid business blocks, is al ! most a complete wreck. Miami, with its recent great and costly additions, is terribly stricken. Ft. Lauderdale, another rapidly growing boom city, , has suffered a woeful setback. I Martial law was declared in the , Miami section. For daysTiunger and J suffering prevailed, the section being , from outside relief. Hundreds of dead were being searched out and and prepared for identification and burial. Thousands of wounded had to bo rescued and cared for. It was not till Sunday afternoon that a com plete conception of what had happen ed in the storm’s path reached the ’outside world. Aid has been rushed from as re mote points as Chicago, special trains j carrying physicians and means of re lief for the injured and homeless. The gale attained more than a 100- mile velocity wtych,' reinforced by tor r rents of rain, and accompanied by : a sweep of water from the sea upon the low-lying cities, wrought an un , precedented destruction for a tropi : cal storm. . j Two days after the storm in its J fury had struck Miami it had cross . ed Florida in a northwestwardly di , rection, and reached Pensacola, where . the gale blew Monday morning at a [ 100-mile velocity, as it did at Mobile. L 1 Fortunately, however, the wind was : not from the direction to press into J the harbors the waters from the Gulf, I and it was only the brunt of wind , and rain that the Gulf cities had to ', undergo. j In addition to the loss of lives and t city property, the orange and grape fruit groves have been stripped of their fruit to the extent of 75 per cent, it has been estimated, j This is the second tropical storm ' to play havoc with the Florida coast cities the past two months, and doubt j less the moral effect has been as cost „ lv as the actual destruction. Millions ; from every part of the country have ' been invested in that section the past , I two or three years, and the loss fails * not altogether upon residents,, but - upon many a man or woman a thous ;, and miles away. Also, the fact that j | scarcely a -community in the whole , country has not a representative in L j the former boom area of Florida has -, cast uneasiness for loved ones far and •.wide. For instance, it was only last - i week that this paper reported the re 5, turn of Mr. and Mrs. Belton Griffin 7 jto West Palm Beach. * j A call for help has gone out to a 7 l j Red Cross chapters, and Mrs. N. M. 7 j Hill of the local chapter announces ); that she will be glad to receive con t tributions for the relief of the storm sufferers. 1 . , , Dinner Party Mrs. F. C.
