OF LIFE AFTER
FLORIDA BLAZE
Palm Beach, March 19.-(By A. P.)
-A check today of guests listed at the
Breaker hotel and the Palm Beach
hotel, destroyed by fire last night, al-
though still incomplete, showed no
loss of life in either hotel. The early
estimate of $4,000,000 was declared too
low by Fire Chief Schultz today, when
he gave as his opinion that the total
loss, including thousands of dollars of
jewelry, will reach $7,000,000.
Although the Palm Beach postmaster
continued to deny rumors that the
post office was robbed of $20,000 dur-
ing the fire, authorities were said to
be searching for clues that would sug-
gest existence of a plot by which
thieves might have started the fire,
that the harvest in loot might have
been looted from wealthy guests. More
than a score of prisoners are held by
Palm Beach police on charges of loot-
ing after the fire.

CALL MEETING MAR. 25 c
i
As a result of petitions received by t
ifficials of the Union, requesting at
change in the constitution of the or-
anization, a meeting of all Union
nembers of the campus will be called w
ext Wednesday, March 25, for the h
urpose of voting on a proposed t
Lmendment. The change in the con-
titution which is proposed relates to k
he method of nominating men to run
or student offices in the organization. f
The petitions, started by Druids,j r
enior literary honorary society, re- I d
uest a change to the effect that any g
nan, to become a nominee for an
>ffice in the Union, must have the p
anction of the board of directors. b
Che object of the amendment as stated i
y the petition, is to eliminate politics l
n the Union elections and to make it s
ossible for only men who have done
some work for the Union to run for
Ln office.v
In order that an amendment may n
e made to the constitution, a quorum e
If Union members must vote upon the p
hange, which means that a meeting 12
f at least 600 men will be necessary. j n
[f two thirds of the number of men s
oting on the amendment cast their c
allots in favor, the amendment will a
>ecome a part of the constitution. p
At present, candidates for offices are 1i
elected by a nominating committee p
ppointed by the president, and other h
andidates may run if they secure a4v
detition of 200 names. The new clausev
would not eliminate anyone whof
wished to run on a petition, but it
would make his candidacy subject toe
the approval of the board of directors.0
[he new clause would also make the0
names chosen by the nominating com- E
mittee subject to the approval of the E
board of directors.
The board of directors of the Uniont
onsists of the president, recordingI
ecretary, five vice-presidents who area
elected from each school in the Uni-
versity at the annual elections, three
members of the faculty, five alumni
members of the Union, and the finan-
cial secretary.

848; TOTAL INJURED

FIRE ADDS TERROR
Vhole Towns and Hamlets Obliter-

Relief Organized
Chicago, March 19.-(By A. P.)-
fter the light of a full day had cast
s searching rays into the debris left
y Wednesday's tornado and relief
ork had been organized to gather the
lead, heal the hurt, and aid the home-
ess, the toll of destruction to life and
roperty tonight still remaibs the
reatest ever recorded in similar
atastrophes with 848 reported killed
nd 2,909 injured in the five states af-
ected.
While the casualty list had been re-
luced from first estimates in some
nstances, word came from hitherto
inreported places to keep the total
asualties almost as high as indicated
n first messages from the devasted
owns and hamlets. After a night of
error, dawn revealed that some small
owns had been virtually obliterated
while whole blocks of larger places
ad been leveled and fire had added
o the horrors of the wind.
The fire for the most parts were
ept from buildings that escaped the
ury of the twister. Outside help ar-
ived from many places during the
ay and by noon relief was well or-
anized.
Where there had been happiness,
rosperity and future, the tornado
lasted all in a few cities. To others
t showed fiendish eccentricity by
eveling and blackening portions while
paring the rest.
Nearly half of Princeton, Indiana,
was smitten. A sister city, Griffin was
irtually carried awa, De -Soto, Ili-
ots, with 500 people lost its exist-
nce. A neighbor, Gorham, of 3,000
opulation, was wiped out. Murphys-
oro, Illinois, lost nearly three square
piles of its business and residential
ection. Darkness still hampered res-
ue workers tonight in a few towns
nd lighting systems have not been re-
paired. Autolights, candles, and flash-
ights are - substituting for power
plants. Pullman cars have arrived to
house refugees in one or two sectors;
villages of tents are being used else-
where.
Those in charge speak inmmilions
when asked to estimate material loss-
es. The brief dispatches read, "$100,-
000 in southwestern Kentucky; "$2,-
D00,000 at Princeton; "$6,000,000 in
southern Illinois"; $100,000 in Mis-
sou'ri."
The tornado took its toll over a
territory of 300 miles in 5 hours and
within the same period of time out-
side aid was covering that distance to
carry help and comfort to survivors.
The Red Cross rushed supplies from
St. leouis. Chicago offered $500,000,
ThP Illinois legislature appropriated
a like amount, the Missouri legisla-
ture $25,000 and the southern Illinois
American Legion $6,000. Other con-
tributions are expected to reach $100,-
000.
From the Associated Press casual-
ty list tonight it appears that more
than 100 children and infants were
victims. Every available dwelling
was a morguo in the zone of visita-
tion. Serious operations are perform-
ed virtually outdoors. Columns of
persons three and four deep several
blocks long still waited in the dark-
ness tonight to claim their kin and
friends.
Apparently rising in the Missouri
hills, the tornado jumped and zigzag-
ged. Its path was about a mile wide
in some localities; in others it could
be measured by feet.
So tremendous was the force of
wind that in Murphysboro eleven lo-
comotives were reported wrecked, six
of them of the heavy type. Heavy ob-
jects were found several miles from
their original position, and papers
were carried 50 miles.
Geneva, Mar. 19.-Ernest Bicknell,
of Chicago, haas accepted membership

pointed by the League of Nations to
