DEATH UST IS STILL GROWING Refugees Are Being Moved Out of Storm Area and Rescue Workers Con tinue Hunt for Bodies. (By the Associated Press) Sanitation, movement of refugees out of the storm a|en. and efforts to locate and reeovdf the bodies of the uncounted dead today occupied the attention of workers endeavoring to rehabilitate the southeastern Flor ida coast section hit Saturday by n 'hurricane. Every effort was being made to get into the district medicines and serums needed to prevent a serious epidemic of disease, and in an effort to prevent sickness. Davie and Moorehaven have been ordered evacuated by all except workers needed to clean up or search for* bodies, i All workers or persons. remaining in the district are required j to be tf&ccinnted against typhoid. I The'knbwn death list from the hur ricane stood today at more than 400. with the possibility that Moorehnvcn. agricultural city on the banks of I-oke Okeechobee might have mere deaths even than the city of Miami. A tojal of more than 110 bodies had ■ been recovered up to last night at 1 Moorehaven, and probably 200 morel were killed there, according to Col. T. J. Lowery. Jr., of Tampa, in' charge of troops guarding the area. I At Miami the known death list reached 100 last night, but estimates I of the final total vary widel. An' undertaker in charge of compiling the’ list estimated that no more than ten ( more bodies would be found. F. K.

The chief of the Seminole Indians in the Miami area, leaving the Everglades for treatment for his injuries, reported that many of his people had been killed, but could give no exact figures, although persons who talked witli Mm interpreted hi* statements to mean that perhaps 100 or the 350 Indians in that seetiona had perished. Should even a fraction of these have perished, as they doubt less did, tbe known death list would be swelled to well above 4tH). Relief measures arc being pusned today with all itossible dispatch.

C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1926 150,000 Fans To Pay $2,000,000 To See Dempsey-Tunney Battle By DAVID J. WALSH (International News Service Sports Editor) Philadelphia, Sept. 23.—Picture to night a towering stadium fiiled to its concrete brim with people; conceive, 8 cro "'Kby handed down a decision in superior court in which he sustained the de murrer in the hearing wherein the depositors and stockholders of the defunct Merchants Bank and Trust company nre asking that the officers and directors of the institution be made parties' to the action of the state corporation commission. In his decision Judge Oglesby or dered the Wachovia Bank and Trust company, as receivers, to proceed to collect from the stockholders the amounts of their liability. He also directed that the receivers continue with any action they might deem they have against the directors of said defunct bank. Counsel for stockholders stated to night an appeal to supreme court will be taken. Counsel for stockholders and de positors contended that liability of stockholders is secondary and that directors and officers should first be sued, and necessary funds to cover •he loss sustained by depositors be obtained from them and then ob tain any balance needed from the stockholders. Counsel for receivers claimed that liability of stockholders is primary nnd that each stockhold er should pny the amount of as sessment allowed by law; that after collections nre made on stockholders assesment. action would be tnken against officers nnd directors; that should any surplus exist after pay ment to creditors then the balance would be distributed among stock holders.

Radio Report of. Fight to Be Given From From Times-Tribune Office Fight fans need not be at the ring side in Philadelphia to get a blow-by blow report of the Dempsey-Tunney fight tonight. Through the' courtesj of The Charlotte News and The Ritch le-Hardware Co. a radio report of tbe fight wiH be offered at The Times-Tr.b une office, the program to begin about 7:30 when the preliminaries will be gin. The preliminaries will begin at 8:30 Philadelphia time, which i* 7:30 Con cord rime. The main bout will fol low abont an hour later. Fans who gather at this office about 7:30 shook hear the entire program. The Charlotte News wIS get a blow by-blow report from the ringside aw will broadcast this from Charlotte track in Atlantic City. That was the biggest criticism of his work—inaccuracy in punching. ' The scowling champion can whip any man he can hit, but ,'ie will have to hit the vigorous young man from f old Greenwich Village if he intends , to chastise him at all severely. ' The battle is one between a natural lighter, one who sails -'n with both lists flying-—impetuous, cruel—and a "made' contender who is methodical— a boxer who .'.rinks everything out before aiding. j Dempsey, considered by many the; greatest of all the heavyweight batti-1 [ers. has altogether too much for his ! ■ smiling, and courteous challenger if ] j he is anything like the champion who j . flattened Louis Firpo. outgalloped old j ij Tom Gibbons, and who bowled overl h I'arpeutler, Brennan, Miske, Willard! ■ and i’.ie rest. I Some close to him said he has been I bothered no little mentally, however. ' A string of lawsuits, injunctions, nt i tachntents and court actions of one ij kind or another with most of the i trouble engendered by his split with j his former manager. Jack Kearns, eer- I tainly did him no good, j Dempsey virtually mannged himself j iu making and preparing for this ran- I test. No tighter ever succeeded when ;he piloted himself, nnd Jack might have to remember that tomorrow. The men weighed in at 2 o’clock this afternoon in the downtown of fices of the Pennsylvania State Ath letic Commission. Tunney reiterated that he intended to walk right out I and slug with Dempsey, pei'.iaps the greatest slugger in the history of the game. His friends pointed out that this would be a fatal error—that Dempsey would knock him out quick ■J ly if he adopted that plan of battle. I According to many close observers, Tunney's only chance would be to hit nnd block Dempsey until he survived the champion’s terrific early attack, | something t'.iat has characterized each j of Dempsey’s engagements. They are going ten rounds to a de- j cisicn which is to be rendered by two i judges and a referee. At the conclu sion of the battle, provided it goes i the limit, the announcer will climb : into the ring to take up the slips I of those who are to elect the winner. He will first take that of the ref eree. and, without looking at it, pick up those of the two judges. Should the latter disagree, the decision of the referee settles the argument. Dempsey's chief second was the ex citable Frenchman, Gus Wilson as-! slated by Manager Gene Normile, Cap- j tain Mabbutt and Jerry Luvadis. j Manager Billy Gibson, Trainer Lou ] Fink and a pair of assistants were to Took after Tunney. They Iprohsbly will have to do a lot of looking. !dUKE WELCOMES MANY STUDENTS ■ Total Enrollment Nqt Yet Known But it is Expected to Reach 1,500. Durham.

As’jevi'.le, sept. 23.— UP) —Western North Carolina is looking forward with especial interest to the Dempsey- Tunney battle for the world's heavy weight championship at Philadelphia tonight, for it was in this section that ! the champion did his first montu's j training for bis first bout in three years. During the month that he stayed in North Carolina, Dempsey divided his time between his camp near Hen dersonville and this city. Many peo ple of this section saw him in his daily workout. He attended a large number of social functions bo'.’.i in Asheville and Hendersonville. His wife, Estelle Taylor, • motion picture actress, was with him during the last week of his stay in North Carolina, and accompanied him back to California on May 25th. # While in training he retained .7. Y. Jordan, Jr., of Asheville, widely known as a sports authority and gen eral entertainer, as his attorney. Another reason for western North Carolina's interest in the outcome of the championship bout came out dur ing the visit of Hiram Dempsey, the champion’s father, to his son’s camp. He stated that Jack’s maternal grand mother, whose name was Scott, was a native of Yancey county. North Carolina. Personalities of Gene and Jack Analyzed. Philadelphia, Sept. 22. —The per sonalities of Dempsey and Tutiney offer contracts like those of Roose velt and Wilson, in the opinion of Dr. Abraham Boron. neuropsy chiatrist and examiner for the state athletic commission. Dempsey lias enormous emergency energy. He attacks aggressively and conquers in direct relation to his emotions and his opponent's behav ior. Tunney is a thoroughly developed precocious physical machine, and is | first guided by thought creations, ac cumulative energy that finally forces him to act. Tunney must put forth "almost superhuman efforfs." if he is to de throne the champion. Dr. Baron thinks. "Dempsey,” he said, “is a physical machine that will execute and get off first. "His ego and object identical, he gets things done first, a propensity exemplified by the late president, Roosevelt." He can successfully manage ex ternal conditions and always feels safe. “President Woodrow Wilson rep resented this type of personality Tunney is u student and hinking al ways over valuing object or oppon ent, and so assumes a defensive at titude insuring, his safety. Te is a taker rather then a giver.” ’Bqulry McManus Declared Capable of Handling Affairs. Charlotte, Sept. 22.—'Squire A. W. McManus, 79-yea r-old veteran of the civil war and magistrate in Onion county for the last 40 years, was declared by a jury of Mecklen burg county citizens today to be capable of attending to his affairs.
