An attempted jewel robbery,
I with the power of Eastern hypnot-| ism endangering the lives and rep-; utations of those who have become | innocently involved keeps the ac-| tion in a high pitch of suspense and mystification.

Storm Causes Great Damage In Porto Rico
Report Shows Death Toll High in Territory Near San Juan
U. S. Red Cross Will Send Aid to Ruined Region Of West Indies
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 27 — (UP)—A tropical hurricane de- j vastated the sprawling villages and j the populous capital of Porto Rico • today, whirling hundreds of build- |
ings into splinters and causing damage comparable to the disaster of 1928 when 271 lives were lost.
The toll of dead and wounded was high but far from complete. Gov. James R. Beverley’s preliminary report showed 34 dead and 200 wounded. Other estimates ranged up to 50 dead but it was believed many more bodies would be found in the debris.
THOUSANDS HOMELESS
Thousands of persons are homeless and suffering hardships.
The hurricane, born in the Leeward Island group of the Lower Antilles, roared northwestward across the Virgin Islands, doing great damage and causing some loss of life.
Then it struck Porto Rico on the northern part of the east coast and advanced at 15 miles an hour—with a circling motion as high as 125 miles velocity—across the interior and just south of San Juan, shortly after midnight.
Battering a wide path through the island, it whirled on to the northeastern coast of Santo Domingo and toward Haiti.
TERRIFIC GALES
The terrific wind tore aside all buildings except those most solidly built. It tossed uprooted trees into the air. It whipped communication lines to pieces. Crops were wiped out in ten minutes.
Red Cross chapters in Puerto Rico already are at work, headquarters here was advised, and complete reports will be filed as soon as possible. First reports said most of the island's buildings had been damaged and some destroyed.
The weather bureau said the hurricane probably would strike Haiti late today.

League Report Blames Japan
Offense in Manchuria Censored by Council In Conference
GENEVA, Sept. 27—(UP)—The League of Nations commission report on the far eastern conflict mildly blames Japan for opening hostilities with its attack on Mukden a year ago.
This was learned today from an unimpeachable authority while the League council was formally reminding the South American nations—Bolivia and Paraguay—of their obligations, urging them to cease hostilities and creating a committee to cooperate with neutral representatives at Washington in an effort to end the conflict.
But the far eastern warfare, on which the commission headed by Lord Lvtton reported in a document to be published Oct. 1, appeared to hold far more importance in the

Newman Club Holds Meeting Tomorrow
Robert Frost, who will lecture in Bovard auditorium Thursday, is at home in California. “I ought to be,” he says, “I was born here.”
Although the poet writes of the rural life of New' England, where he lived for many years, he was born in San Francisco and spent most of his early childhood “being raised,” as he puts it, in the West. His parents had come to the coast, he explains, to settle permanently, but with the sudden death of his father, the family moved east. At 32, Frost had completed his education, married, bought a farm in New Hampshire, and settled down to identify himself with the soil which he has immortalized in his verse.
