eight tires Sunday night rushing about to aid storm sufferers, he said. Persistent rains Monday added to the misery of the storm sufferers. Quick action by Red Cross officials, city and county authorities soon brought relief measures moving in an orderly fashion. National Guardsmen protected the only open bridge across Lake Worth and let none but Palm Beach residents pass, in an effort to stop any looting. East Feels Gale By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—The Atlantic coast as far north as New England will feel in a minor degree the effects of the hurricane which for almost a week has traced a devastating course through the West Indies, Bahamas and southeastern United States. Lower temperatures in all Atlantic States today heralded the northeastward turning of the hurricane, the center of which was expected to strike near Savannah, Ga., about 9:30 a. m. “The tropical storm will be attended by rain in the south Atlantic States today, and probably in the middle Atlantic States and portions of the north Atlantic States this afternoon or tonight and possibly tomorrow morning,” the weather bureau said. The Red Cross was sending food and relief workers to Porto Rico and three additional disaster specialists to Palm Beach via Jacksonville. Funds were arriving from many parts of the country in response to President Coolidge’s appeal late Monday for the Nation to give to the Red Cross. President William Butterworth of the United States Chamber of Commerce asked all member organizations to support the President’s ap-

peal. The Army was prepared to furnish troops where martial law was necessary. Two Army transports, bound for the Canal Zone, were ordered to change course and unload their food cargoes at Porto Rico for the 700,000 persons reported starving in that island. The Navy, which furnished the cruiser Gilmer to carry a red Cross party from Charleston, S. C., to Porto Rico, and the store ship Bridge to transport food from New York, planned to offer reservists for the policing of stricken Florida cities.

Gale Sweeps Georgia Bit United Press ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 18.—The tropical disturbance which struck between the Palm Beaches and Daytona Beach Sunday as a hurricane of devastating proportions, was sweeping up the Georgia coastal country early today, its objective uncertain. Telephone and telegraph companies reported here at 6 a. m. today that all wires were down to points on the Georgia coast. The last word from the United Press correspondent at Savannah came shortly after midnight. He said a 60-mile gale was blowing. On account of mountainous seas pounding on Tybee Island, all residents there had moved into the city. Brunswick reported a stiff wind at midnight. Then the lines went out. C. F. Von Hemann, weather bureau forecaster, said the intensity of the storm as it hit Georgia was considerably less than when it swept down on the Florida east coast. Swerves on Jacksonville * Predictions as to this storm’s direction seem futile. Striking down on the Palm Beaches late Sunday with a merciless hand, it was thought heading for the Gulf of Mexico, where it was expected it would expend itself on the open seas. But without serious damage to the west coast of Florida, the storm swerved suddenly, and headed toward Jacksonville, to send the inhabitants of the Florida metropolis scurrying to places of shelter. Pensacola, Fla, and Mobile, Ala., were making preparations to withstand its intensity when it made the swerve on Jacksonville. Whether it would continue up the Atlantic coast toward Savannah or even to Charleston, or would turn westward again and ravage the long narrow strip that is western Florida, or recurve back into the Atlantic was problematical. Early today, however, the most likely guess was that it would continue northward, at least as far as Savannah, before swerving. The barometer there was falling gradually and heavy winds, steadily increasing, prevailed. SKATERS IN 25TH DAY Two Couples Remain in Marathon at Broad Ripple. The two remaining couples in the Broad Ripple roller skating marathon were on their twenty-fifth day today. Roy Byers, rink manager, said that the competitors in good physical condition and may push the race into next week before either couple is eliminated. First prize is $350 and second SIOO.

SMITH IN OMAHA TO FIGHT FOR FARMER VOTE

HOOVER GIVES LABOR PLEDGE OF PROSPERITY Promises to Maintain High Wage Scale Under Ample Tariff. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent NEWARK, N. J„ Sept. 18.—Herbert Hoover believes he has found an apparently happy and solidified Republican organization stirring up noise and votes for him here in the heart of the wet eastern battleground. The series of parades and demonstrations extending together with the reaction among Republican leaders to his labor speech in the Armory ledt him and his advisers to believe they can expected the best from this region. The “big three” of the State Republican organization—Senator Walter E. Edge, Morgan F. Larsen, candidate for Governor, and Hamilton F. Keane, candidate for United States Senator—agreed in statements to the United Press that Hoover’s speech, together with other normal developments, would help to make continued prosperity the big issue here.

Talks on Prosperity “Hoover’s speech swept away ah other issues,” Edge said. “I believe he has won organized labor all over the country. I know he has assured a Republican victory in New Jersey by his appeal on the prosperity Issue.” Agreeing with Edge, Larson added a prediction that the Hoover-Curtis ticket would carry the State in November by 300,000 majority. Although they did not say it, the big three left the obvious impression by their statements on prosperity that they believed the prohibition issue would not play its expected dominant part in this wet ara. The nominee started this morning on an automobile tour through Hud son and Passaic Counties and an inspection trip to the Newark airport, before lunching at the Elks Club, with enator Edge and Republican leaders. Continue Tour Today He will leave after lunch to travel across the State by motor to Trenton, where at 5 p. m. he will board a special train to return to Washington. His busy day Monday was climaxed by the speech Monday night to an audience of about 10,000 persons inside the Armory, and several thousand more outside, who listened to the loud speakers. In his address he promised continued prosperity under a protective tariff which he said would maintain the high American wage scale, continued restrictive immigration, curb on the excessive use of injunctions in labor disputes and diminution of unemployment by distributing public works construction so as to furnish more jobs in slack times. Earlier he travelled fifty miles by motor through a dozen North New Jersey communities, seeing upward of 50,000 persons. Spend Night With Edison He, Mrs. Hooter and their son, Allan, spent Monday night as guests of Thomas A. Edison and Mrs. Edison at their home in Manlo Park, N. J. Hoover in his speech urged freedom in collective bargaining for labor, and measures for increasing efficiency to bring about more perfect living conditions. “We can build toward perfection only upon a foundation of prosperity,” the candidate said. “Education, prohibition, invention, scientific discovery, increase in skill in managers and employes have contributed to magnificient progress.”

Seeks Jobs for Everybody “But now the immediate problem is furnishing a job for every man who wants to work,” he added. He denied there is any widespread unemployment. He admitted there are depressions in the textile and bituminous coal industries which must be relieved with all the energy the Government can afford. During the last two months, however, he said, there has been a higher record of production and consumption of goods than during corresponding months of any previous year. The nominee devoted one sentence to the problem of using injunctions in labor disputes, saying: “It is necessary to impose restrictions on the excessive use of injunctions.” He likewise spent one sentence on the contractual relations between employers and workers, saying: “The position of the Republican party is in positive support of free collective bargaining.” Hoover said he was quite satisfied generally with the present situation. “We have had a far longer period of stability in industry and commerce and a far greater security of employment than ever before in our history,” he said. “We have the highest ingenuity and efficiency in the operation of our individual industries. We are exporting more goods aboard than ever in our history.” The theme of his program was summed up by the nominee as follows: “Our economic system has abuses; it has grave faults in its operation. But we can build toward perfection

The swath of death and destruction cut by the hurricane that swept Porto Rico, the Bahamas and struck the Florida east coast with unabated fury is graphically shown in the map above. In devastated Porto Rico, hundreds were killed, half the population is homeless and 300,000 people face the danger of famine. Warnings of the storm had been broadcast and therefore Jupiter, West Palm Beach and other Florida points dotting the east coast down to Fort Lauderdale, were ready for the gale. Miami, on the edge of the storm, was lashed by the hurricane, but was reported to have emerged without serious damage.

It must be uplifted and upheld by the willing and eager hands of the whole people. not for any special group.” Hoover Greets Thousands By United Press PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 18.— Tens of thousands of factory workers, school children and housewives met Herbert Hoover on his farewell motor tour today through a dozen north New Jersey industrial centers. In a speech to a large crowd on the steps of the Passaic County Court House Hoover expressed his appreciation of the Jersey demonstration. In every town school children were drawn up along the sidewalks. 0. D. HASKETT LUMBER COMPANY PURCHASED Acquired by Roy Davidson After President’s Death. Purchase of the O. D.

J, was hurled from his automobile and injured seriously early this morning. He was taken to city hospital. His machine, demolished, was hurled several yards into a ditch.

REPRIMANDJ COPS Two Suspended, One Demoted for Discourtesies. Three traffic policemen were reprimanded today by the board of safety for discourtesies to pedestrians and motorists. President Fred W. Connell and Claude M. Worley, police chief, lectured the officers on the need for courteous treatment to local and out-State pedestrians and motorists. "We are going to have courtesy if we have to change the whole traffic department. It is unfair to to the large percentage of officers who are courteous to have a few who drag down the reputation of the department,” Connell said. H. E. Musgrave, motor policeman, was suspended thirty days; George Wright, traffleman, was suspended five days, and Harry Bridwell w’as demoted from a traffleman to patrolman. BLAME GAS FORBLAST Fire Chief Says Careless Closing McCrory Store Heater Responsible. The explosion in the McCrory’s variety store basement, E. Washington St., Sept. 9., probably was due to an accumulation of gas due to carlessness in turning on a gas heater, Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell declared today. Voshell said he had information that the engineer had gone to the basement Saturday night to turn off two heaters. It is believed that one of the heaters had been turned off previously by another employe and the engineer turned on one heater insteead of shutting off the gas. Voshell said the gas might have been ignited by an electric sewer motor.

AL ON STUMP TOUR REACHES ‘ENEJT LAND Speaks Tonight on Relief Stand; Northwest Is Reported Friendly. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent OMAHA, Sept. 18.—Governor Alfred E. Smith took off his brown derby and waved the West a New York welcome here tod.\y. Omaha, in the heart of the farm country to which Smith will appeal, waved back and gave the Democratic candidate a characteristic “howdy, stranger.” Throngs greeted him at the station, a crowd curious and eager to see this man who rose from the east side of New York. Famam street, the principal thoroughfare, was thronged with countless persons who cheered wildly as the Governor and his party drove by. > With fiiis farm speech here tonight, he will open a campaign to win farm votes in this and other surrounding agricultural States, and also will appeal for' that independent vote which flocked to La Follette banner in 1924. Optimistic reports from Wisconsin, where Smith has considerable admitted strength because of his wet stand, and from Minnesota, usually a strong Republican State, were brought the candidate by Senator Robert F. Wagner, New York, who boarded the special train at Chicago Monday night for a conference. Wagner has been campaigning in Wisconsin and returned there today. The large German vote in Wisconsin and Minnesota is swinging to Smith, Wagner said. Smith will speak at St. Paul and Milwaukee in the second week of his campaign. Democrats are hopeful of carrying Nebraska, which is Smith’s immediate concern. They count upon much of the 1924 La Follette strength there. President Coolidge carried the State in 1924. The vote was Coolidge, 218,000; Davis, 137,000; and LaFollette 106,000. The reports from Wisconsin and Minnesota were not the only encouraging news the candidate received. Just before he left Chicago, 1111-

Doubly Wet By Times fvecial ALEXANDRIA. Ind„ Sept. 18.—While a baptismal service was being conducted by three girl evangelists in a revival here, rain poured through the roof of a loosely constructed tabernacle. The congregation, unheeding of superstition, raised umbrellas. The choir was singing “Showers of Blessings.”

nois Democratic leaders assured him he would carry that State. Thomas Donovan, is State chairman and National committeeman, told Smith he would run even with Herbert Hoover downstate, usually a Republican stronghold, and would carry Cook County by from 125,000 to 150,000. The candidate went over his farm relief speech carefully Monday night with his two close advisers Judge Joseph M. Proskauer and Judge Bernard L. Shientag, both of New York, and with George N. Peek, Mc-Nary-Haugen bill leader, who was a Republican, but espoused .Smith because of his farm relief stand. Peek joined the train at Chicago. Greets Chicago Crowd The radio set in the Governor’s private car was tuned on Herbert Hoover’s speech at Newark, Monday night but Smith heard little of it as he was interrupted to greet the crowd at Chicago. The Democratic candidate is not expected tonight to offer any specific farm relief plan, but to elaborate considerably on his acceptance speech. Smith entered territory today that gave the late Senator La Follette a large vote in 1924. His campaign is keyed to attract that support and when he goes through the La Follette strongholds in the second week of his campaign in Montana, Minnesota and Wisconsin, he is expected to take active steps to swing it his way. Gets Big Hand The Democratic candidate entered the West with an enthusiastic welcome in the yards at West Chicago. A crowd of several hundred persons thronged about the train cheering for “Al” and lighted their boisterous reception with red flares. The candidate shook hands with scores of them and smoked a cigar handed him by a New Yorker, who happened to be present, John J. Denny, who lives in the Oliver St. neighborhood, where Smith once lived. This was a replica, on a larger scale, of similar impromptu receptions at Cleveland, Toledo and 1 Elkhart, Ind.

350 PRISONERS STRIKE: DEMAND CRUELTYPROBE Refusal to Work Follows Night of Rioting in Maryland Jail, By United Press BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.—More than 350 prisoners at the Maryland penitentiary refused to work today, following a'night of rioting in which 800 are said to joined. The strike and uproar were staged as a demonstration against the refusal of State Welfare Director Janney to order a public hearing on charges of cruelty by officials and guards at the prison. At intervals throughout the night, the prisoners, all locked in their cells, screamed and shouted, rattled steel bars, banged on metal walls and threw flaming wads of paper from cell doors facing the street, 300 Refuse to Work The showdown on the night's wild clamor came at 6:30 a. m. when tho first morning bell rang. Warden Patrick Brady announced prisoners who refused to work would not eat, and at 6:30 guards went through tho tiers and aroused all prisoners. Os 545 convicts in the west wing. 300 refused to go to the shops and, remained in their cells. The remainder were allowed to march to the dining halls as usual, and were given breakfast, then they were marched to the shops. Others Join Strike t In the east wing thirty-five or forty of the 311 men there remained in their cells. In the south wing housing 260 men. fifteen refused to work. Those who remained in the cell3 will go without food, Brady said, pending a decision by Janney on whether the men will be allowed to state their grievances publicly. Brady said it is possible the men in the cells have food supplies sufficient to last several days. Water is provided each in his cell. It is regarded as probable the men havo had a strike in mind for several days and probably laid in provisions from the prison commissary. Latvia's foreign trade is dominated by two countries, Germany and England, which together in 1927 supplied 51 per cent of imports and took 60 per cent of exports.
