FORTY-FOURTH YEAR—NO. 137 NEW YORK STORM DEATH TOLL PASSES 30 RETURNING TIDE SWEEPS BODIES OFIBDEADBACK Brief Hurricane Spreads Tragedy And Disaster Os Me tropolis NEW YORK, June 12.—The death toll in the brief hurricane which swooped down on the metropolitan area late yesterday passed the sixty n ark today, with indications that the total might go much higher. The list leaped ahead when the incoming tide returned eighteen more bodies that were swept to sea last night. Davbreak this morning found hun •jieds of parents, children and rela tives still standing virgil at docks of the City Island, awaiting the arrival of police boats which during the early hours had searched the waters of Long Island Sound for additional victims of yesterday’s storm. Besides the 60 persons who lost their lives, upwards of one hundred have been injured in the tempest, which roared out of the hills of New Jersey, beat the Hudson into foam capped breakers and swept across New' York city. The property dam age is estimated from $1,000,000 to three times that much. The fury of the storm broke sud denly over a little amusement park at Clason’s Point, the Bronx, lash ed into a Ferris wheel crowded with young people, crushed it to the ground and passed on leaving six dead and inore than forty injured. The storm came at the close of one of the most horrid days of the sea son. The wind, coming gently from the south and southwest at first, shifted suddenly into the northwest and increased in velocity to eighty eight miles, and sweeping through New Jersey, Westchester county, across the City Island, the Bronx and Manhattan, left death and destruc tion in its wake. Torrential rains, then lightning fol lowed the wind. Hundreds of thousands of New T orkers were on beaches and at va rious outlying resorts when the storm broke and it was from these that the storm took its death toll.

Some of the illustrations from “Case Brulo,” the magazine of flapper fun which has shocked New Orleans, with the lines. Also Helen Dymond, managing editor of the paper, who takes the attitude, “Evil to him who evil thinks. ’ NEW ORLEANS, June 12.—The flapper has dashed in again where angels fear io tread—this time into the purveys of humor; And has started a regular riot! One-half the riot was caused b£ the rush to get the latest number of “Case Brulo,” the comic monthly put out by students of Tulane University; the other half caused by frantic efforts of college and public school officials, preachers and parents to keep “Case Brulo” out of the young people’s hands. Most of the flapper fun in “Case Brulo”—which gets its name from a drink famous in New Orleans be fore prohibition—was contributed by girl students of Newcombe college. But the faculty of Newcomb has barred the publication from the col lege campus. The fuclty of the largest girls’ high school in New Or leans has done likewise. "Evil to him who evil thinks,” is the defense of Helen Dymond, man aging editor of “Case Brulo” and a student of Newcomb, who is the daughter of an aristocratic southern family. Here are samples of the flapper fun from “Case Brulo” that has starter! the frenzy and made the last number a best seller despite the pro hibitions laid against it. This one rhymes: Oft, ia the summer’s night, With some one’s arms around me, 1 think of the times gone by, When other arms have bound me; Os other lies, ’Neath summer skies, Os other lips I’ve tasted; The stuff in miles, 1 spilled with smiles, So the evening wasn't wasted, thus in the summer’s night, When Tommie,** arms are around rue, 1 compare it to the nights gone by When Jack s or Jim's arms bound me. Evidently “Case Brulo” senses a disposition on the part of some stu dents to violate Volstead: Lives there a slude with soul so dead Who never to himself had said: Oh where, oh where, ch pal o’ mine Didst thou get that qt. divine. Ibis jest seems to have something to do with osculation and the author endeavors to point a moral: He; Is your father home? She: Yes, in the next room. He: Are you a ventriloquist? She: Silly, no. Oh! Um-min-m—! MORAL: If they can t scream while they’re being kissed, they won’t when it's over. Aitificial aids to beauty have a de fender on the staff of “Case Brulo,” judging from this: Lives there a girl with pride so dead Whose cheeks were never touched with red Whose nose kept aye its virgin shine, Whose lips were never touched by thine— Oh lipstick! - s This one appears in the column of “Advice to the Lovelorn:” THERDER fegfl_PUßLI SHED IN THE ) Q. —I am a young man 21 years of age, I have plenty of money, an auto- > mobile, and am fairly good looking, 1 but 1 can get no one to go with me. What must I do? A.—You are either a prevaricator or have not given me full info. The “Case Brulo” seems not to ' stop at any subject, no matter how serious: “Violet’s new swimming suit near ly prove dfatai yesterday.” “Seven killed iu the mid rush, I suppose?” ....“No no—its button came off while she was signalling for help and no body dared to save her.” The hero of this anecdote seems to ■ be Mr. Pettyr, who it may be judged | lives up to his name: Nan: “Marie said a low-neck should go well with the new pearls she wore to the party last night.” Ette: “Oh—it did—she was dated with Jack Pettyr.” Nan: ‘You speak from experience?’ Last but not least are the pictures, particularly one with its subject a j young lady taking a bath, who re marks something to the effect that her purity may be questioned but not her cleanliness.

But he took a turn for the worse Saturday night and death ensued about 48 hours after he was first stricken. Mr. Timmerman was born October 16, 1854, in Edgefield County, South Carolina. At the age of 12 years, jn 1866, he moved to Webster Coun ty, Ga., not far from the place of his death.

H. and Alvin of Plains, and Louie B. of Americus. Mr. Timmerman was a membef of the Baptist church for many years, and a deacon at the time of his death. He was a consistent Christian and served his church faithfully. In 1917 he was elected a member of the legislature from Sumter coun.- ty, and served two terms, not offer ing for re-election after his four years had expired. At the time of his death he was also a member of the county Democratic executive committee. He was a citizen of Plains for thir ty years, being one of the leading citizens of the town, and was en gaged in farming and the warehouse business, in the warehouse being as sociated with L. D. Wise as Timmer man & Wise. He was known as a friend to everyone in need, and dis pensed much charity which never be came known. Besides the members of his own family, he is survived by three broth ers, J. W. Timmerman, of Plains; Tyre Timmerman, of Terrell county, and Will TiJhmerman, of Tampa, all of whom were at his bedside when the end came.

HOME EDITION STERN YEAR FOR LABOR REPORTED ASA.F.LOPENS Open Sboo, Wage Cut», Court De cisions And Other Important Issues Faced CINCINNATI, June 12.—(8y As sociateri Press.) —The “open shop,” ; unemployment, wage reductions, recognition of Soviet Russia, one big union, court decisions and injunc tions affecting labor'formed the main issues that confronted the American Federation of Labor which opened its two weeks convention here today. No debate was on the program for the opening sessions. The record of organied labor’s ac complishments in “a year of unusual strife and unusual industrial depres sion” was laid before the forty-sec ond annual convention in the report of the federation’s executive coun < il. The report declared that Ameri can labor during the year not only suffered from the widespread unem ployment that existed but was beset “by opponents more active and de termined than ever.” In addition to strictures on the conduct of employers in numerous cases, the report added explicit and pointed criticism of congress and some state legislative bodies, declar ing such branches of the government to be ''succumbing to a wave of re action.” Fault was found with the action of some courts, including the Supreme court, and with what was described as President Harding's “proposal to regulate trade unions.” “It is with no little satisfaction in view' of these cireumstances,” the report on the other hand declared, “that we are able to lay before this convention a report of achievement, a report of solidarity, a report of constructive planning, and a report that only inadequately portray the militant spirit with which our move ment has come through the years. The audacity of those who have made it their business to attack in every possible manner the voluntary or ganizations of the workers has had no parallel in our country. What our movement has been compelled to meet has been a condition in which the predatory powers have sought to break down all resistance in every quarter and to enrich themselves at the expense of the whole people. No experience has testified as eloquent ly to the fundamental soundness of our organizations and to the manner in which they serve the workers. We shall fight with a greater confidence because of the record that has been made.” SHOPMENNOTTO FLEE TO CANADA Jewel!
