Yeroda jail.SANTO DOMINGO, Sept.* 5.\u2014An urgent appeal for help was sent from this city today as it counted the toll of the hurricane which swept across the Republic Wednesday afternoon, taking lives estimated at eight hundred and leaving ninety per cent, of the city\u2019s population homeless.There is immediate need here for food, clothing, medical supplies and temporary shelters, with untold suffering threatening the population, not only of the Capita] city, but of most of the Republic, unless supplies are received.Capping a climax of horrors the water supply has failed and only limited fresh water is available.The hurricane struck Santo Domingo at 2 p.m., Wednesday, and blew at full force for four hours, houses in the aristocratic quarter BUMPER APPLE CROP EXPECTED IN

Number One Grade.HALIFAX, N.S., Sept.5.\u2014 Excellent prospects that the early hopes of a particularly high grade crop of apples in Nova Scotia would be fulfilled, were seen by Manning K.Ells, prominent fruit grower of ; Port Williams, who stated in an j interview last night that he believed j many orchards would yield sixty to j eighty per cent of number one I apples.CAPTAIN BOYD IS DELAYED BY HEAVY WINDS CS0UTH AUSTRALIA FEARED GOVERNMENT PRACTICALLY READY Premier Hill Tells of Plans Discovered by Provincial Police in Series of Raids.FOR OPENING OF SESSION MONDAY ADELAIDE, South Australia Sept.5.\u2014South Australia has been selected as the centre of a Communist plot owing to the exceptional financial difficulties of the state, declared Hon.Lionel Hill, Premier.The Premier introduced a bill which would empower the Government to deal with the carters\u2019 and drivers\u2019 strike, which started in protest against the employment of volunteer laborers at the docks.\u201cA raid conducted by the state police, stated Premier Hill, \u201chas revealed interference with the electric light supply of Adelaide and the electrification of a fence with the intention of causing fatalities among the police.And we have evidence that these things have been done or incited by Communist agents.Fact that There Was No Cabinet Meeting Yesterday Taker to Mean that Government\u2019s Proposed Measures Have Been Definitely Decided Upon and Are in Final Process of Preparation\u2014Expected Premier Will Announce Plans to Alleviate Unemployment Either on Monday or Tuesday\u2014Tariff

the %tart of the season, but it had been expected that the quality this year would be so much higher that a more profitable year for the growers would result.These expectations would be borne out, Mr.Ells thought, because of the extra attention that had been given the orchards and the exceptionally favorable weather.pretentious character.The insane asylum was destroyed and escaping inmates ran wild through the city\u2019s streets, adding to the horror of the disorder and confusion everywhere.With Legal Entanglements Surrounding Seizure of Monoplane Columbia Showing Signs of Dissolution, It

hurricane which ravaged the West Indies yesterday caused only property damage on French territory.The storm area here was on the western part of the island.Communication with outside points, interrupted for a time, has been restored today.FINE WEATHER MARKED GRANBY FAIR OPENING NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED PARIS, Sept.5.\u2014 The French aviator, Jean Laulhe, in a forty-horse-power, 770-pound plane, today established a new world\u2019s record for distance in a circuit with 2,730 kilometers (1,678 miles).The former record was of the Czechoslovakian, Vicherck, of 2,500 kilometers, made in Prague, on June 7, 1928.High Quality Maintained by Fruit and Flower Exhibits at Granby Hortbultural Association Show.RATIFICATION OF TREATY BY JAPANESE SOON Privy Council May Add Censure Clause Against Government Before Accepting Treaty.TOKIO, Sept., 5.\u2014There are indications that the Privy Council will ratify the London naval treaty thé latter part of this monh or at least early in October.Government officials believe the council will have overcome the worst difficulties within a couple of weeks and ratification will then follow within a few days.While this may be over-optimistic, the council has been speeding up its work recently and holding meetings daily.As the discussions in the Privy Council continue they are gaining in bitterness and it seems more likely that the council will attach a rider to the treaty censuring the Government for accepting the pact in the face of the opposition of the Naval General Staff.The last meetings of the special committee of the Privy Council, headed by Count Miyoji Ho, which is studying the nact, have been practically entirely devoted to the question of the supremo command.The Government has contended that inasmuch as the treaty was only concerned with the navy and did not.affect the entire scheme of national defence, it went far enough in consulting the Naval General Staff before accepting the pact.This is somewhat of a retreat from the Government\u2019s former position, which was that it had acted by virtue of its authority in accepting the pact.It has been reported that the enm-mitee of the Privy Council has threatened to withold its approval of the treaty unless the Government admits i' was at.fault in accepting the nact in the face of the naval opposition.This may be taken rather as an idle threat , since I ho Privy Council would hardly dare to reject a treaty which has the support of high officials of the court as well as the Government, press and public.GRANBY, Que., Sept.5.\u2014 The Granby Horticultural Society was favored with fine weather for the start of its forty-ninth annùal Fair, which opened yesterday.Most of the day was given over to the placing of the exhibits and making preparations for the two big days to follow, today and tomorrow, which from the visitors standpoint will be most interesting and entertaining.Fresh paint applied to the buildings has added much to the attractive appearance of the surroudndings as one enters the grounds, and the main hall presents a very festive appearance with its wealth of decorative bunting and bright colorings of various exhibits, artistically arranged to please the eye, particularly the booths showing the flowers and potted plants in abundance and variety, the domestic department including women\u2019s fancy work, samples of cooking, maple products which is one of the finest so far seen at the fall fairs, fruits and vegetables.Several booths are given over to exhibits of fabrics of Eastern Townships\u2019 manufacture including Dominion Textile products, and Stohn Ltd., of Granby, makers of silk fabrics.These two are particularly attractive to the ladies.| The local branch of the Southern | Canada Power Company too, has a ; fine and varied exhibit of kitchen i utensils and wares, and several of the local business houses are represented by exhibits of the commodities which they handle.The showing of fruit is hardly up to the standard of the Granby Fair which is noted for the numbers and quality of the exhibits in this department, but this is easily explained by the fact that this is an off-year for apples neither the crop nor the quality being anywhere near the usual standard.Nevertheless this year\u2019s exhibits makes a very attractive showing, occupying a large space in the building.Judging in the various departments started 'yesterday and will likely be completed today.The programme of track events begins today and will be continued over tomorrow.O.M.J.Ingalls, of Danville, will start the horses in the racing events.The Granby band will furnish the music for both the day and evening programmes.The following is a list of officers and directors of the society for the current year.Honorary president, Mr.W.H.Miner; Hon.vice-presidents, Mr.Geo.F.Payne, Ven.Arch.W.B.Longhurst, Mayor P.E.Boivin.President, G.W.Jackman; vice-president, P.G.dark; secretary-treasurer,

conditions obtaining over this side of the Atlantic again delayed the start of the Montreal to London, England, flight of Capt.J.Enroll Boyd and Lieutenant Harry P.Connor in the old Bellanca monoplane Columbia.With the legal entanglements surrounding the seizure of the plane by Roger Q.Williams showing signs of dissolution, the Canadian flyer and his American friend and navigator are eagerly watching weather reports for the signal to hop off for Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, where they will take on a load of gasoline and rise again a few hours later bound for England.Meanwhile the old Bellanca is ready for flight, though a Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable stands guard over the veteran trans-Atlantic plane, which cannot leave the airport til! a court order lifts Williams\u2019 writ of attachment for claims against the Columbia Airliners Incorporated of New York, of [ which Charles A.Levine is presi- I dent.Levine loaned the old Bellanca ! to Captain Boyd, but they have re- ( ceived no word from Levine, who is in Paris, as to the action he intends taking in regard to the writ.SELF-DECLARED SLAYER IS HANGED LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Sept.5.\u2014Carl Panzran, self-declared slayer of twenty-two persons, was hanged at the Federal prison early today.President Hoover last night denied a plea for clemency.Enthusiastic fellow countrymen, gathered at Curtiss Airport, Long Island, to welcome their aerial envoy from Paris, hoisted Capt.Dieudonne Coste to their shoulders at the end of the biplane Question Mark\u2019s history-making flight.The scene is pictured here as the daring chieftain of the trans-Atlantic air journey was borne under police guard to the shelter of a hangar.A crowd of 7500 witnessed the arrival of Coste and his flying partner, Maurice Bellonce.Below is shown a map of the flight for which they acclaimed them.Tne 3275-mile course, as reported by radio enroute, shows deviations made to avoid storms and fog.AIR PAGEANT THIS
