By EDWARD W. PICKARD again the "storm of San came out of the south era Atlantic ocean on the feast day of that saint and swept across Porto Rico as it did In 1028. a terrible tearing trail of death and destruction. For hours the hurricane raged, tearing down build Inga, ruining the coffee and fruit crops and killing and maiming the people of the unhappy Island. Gor. IN, R. James Beverley the dpad thought number well Gov. Beverley would over two hundred and the Injured more thau a thousand. The property damage has not been eatlmated but It certainly will run Into many millions of dollars. Broken lines and roads communication blocked by debris made tbe gathering of accurate Information slow. Before reaching Porto Rico the storm struck the Virgin Islands, kill ng 15 persons, sinking many vessels and wrecking Later It hit Haiti and buildings. Santo Domingo. Moat of the fatalities in Porto Rico were In the country districts, for the authorities of San Juan, forewarned, placed many hundreds of the residents In tbe solidly built schools and churches. The property losses In the city, however, were heavy, especially on the ocean front. Governor Beverley was prompt In starting relief machinery. He formed an emergency committee and placed ample Insular funds In Its hands. By his order the police Impressed Into service prisoners In all the Jails, let ting them work without guards at clearing the roads and streets and facilities. reopening communication The governor of course reported the conditions immediately to Washington and the Red Cross ordered Its chief supply officer to the Island and sent a destroyer with medical supplies. ONCE "fast unto Mahatmawongandiips a striking victory for the little old Hindu holy man, for the caste Hindus and the untouch- ables, hurrying to save his life, agreed upon a compromise electoral plan that was fairly satisfactory to Gandhi. It was hastily accepted by Prime Minister MacDonald and the British cabinet, and thereupon the nmhatma broke his fast with a few sips of a lime concoction. For more than six days he had partaken of nothing but water with salt or soda In It, and the physicians at Teravda Jail said he could not have survived much longer. The compromise plan provides that 148 seats In provincial legislatures be held by the depressed classes and that a percentage of seats In the central legislature be reserved for them. It also provides a system of primary elections. These special features are to end after ten years. In accepting this plan, the British government pointed out that some details still remained under consideration. The official statement said this did not Imply opposition by the government. Gandhi, though born a caste Hindu, has been making his tight for the depressed classes, and It , is possible that hla victory may lead to revolutionary changes In their treatment. However, some authorities declare thnt the gulf between the four castes and the untonchnbles Is of too many generations' standing to be wiped out In a day or two, even by the ukase of religious lenders. WHEN the League of Nations opened Its thirteenth an- nua session in Geneva. Eamon de Valera, President of the Irish Free State, was In the of chair as president " the league council, and he took the opportunity to tell what he thought of the league and Its failures. He spoke with out restraint, telling his gloomy hearers that the league had lost the world's confidence because It bad not boldly tackled the major problems that came before It, notably the situation In the Far East and the question of disarmament. "People are complaining that the league Is devoting Its activity to matters of secondly interest while vital International problems of the day are he conbeing shelved or Ignored, tinued. People are saying that equality of states does not apply here In things that matter. "People are becoming Impatient at g rethe apparently meager sults of successive league conferences and meetings. They are iuquiring whether these conferences Justify the burden of contributions to the league's budget Finally there Is the suspicion that little more than lip service Is paid to the fundamental principles on which the league was founded. face-euvin- "There Is a suspicion that action by the league In the economic sphere Is paralyzed by pressure of powerful national Interests and that If a hand Is raised against the covenant Buffi dently strong It can smite with trn punlty." This last obvious allusion to Japanese controlled Manchuria was followed by a warning that the only way to silence criticism of the league Is to show unmistakably that the covenant Is a solemn pact of obligations which no state will find It possible to ignore." Disarmament, he also declared, was a flop and a bluff. The I.ausunne conference on reparations, he admitted, was a mild success, but he made It clear It was not the fault of the league. Nicholas Politls of Greece was elected as the president of the assembly. VVliat thnt body would find to do was uncertain. The reception and discussion of the commission leagues on Manchuria already had been postponed two for at least weeks at the behest of Japan, and the statesmen were not agreed even upon the establishment of disfinancial armament, and economic commissions. To make matters worse, the steadfast refusal of Germany to take part In the sessions of the disarmament conference effectually stopped up that august International body for the time being. The steering committee In a quarrelsome secret meeting considered the demand of Arthur Henderson for Immediate convocation of the general conference and then announced It had adjourned until October 10. are In control States senate, out numbering the Republicans by one. This comes about through the appointment of Walter Walker by Gov. William H. Adams of Colorado to f:'l the vacancy caused by the death o; Senator Charles W. . Waterman. So the upper house now has 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans and one There was uncertainty as to whether the new man would serve In the lame duck session of congress or only until a successor to Waterman Is elected November 8.
