TERRIBLE TOLL OF STORM

75 LIVES LOST ON FLORIDA COAST

PASSENGER VESSEL IN GRAVE DANGER

}

Jacksonville, Sept. 3: Seventy-five men have lost their lives and forty- seven have been injured in a hurricane which struck with suddenness and fury to-day.

The casualties were suffered in the War Veterans' relief camp on the islands near Key West, where evacuation was commenced yesterday when reports of the nearness of the storm were first received.

Motorboats are rushing to the camp from the United States Naval Station at Key West, taking aid to the survivors of the disaster, who are without food or water and who may be beyond the reach of assistance for some time yet. The weather is still very heavy and the task of the relief boats a hazardous one.
