SON4N-LAW OF
governor MAY
LOSE POSITION
Jackson's Relative Has Held
Job Five WeekS-Board
Considers Change.

DR.. Norman Beatty, son-in-law OF
Governor Ed Jackson, has been in
active charge of the State board OF
health laboratory for the last five
weeks, it became known today dur
ing a meeting of the health board at
the Statehouse.
Although the appointment OF DIR.
Beatty as acting head Of the labora-
tory was made Sept. Is, at the time
of the resignation of DR.. Thurman
B. Rise, no announcement had been
made of the fact until today.
DR.. Beatty, who graduated from
medical school last spring, was a
storm center a few months ago
when insurgent members Of the
health board sought to GUST both
him and DR.. William F. King, secre-
tary of the board.
Two Jobs Saved
Through DR.. Kings intercession,
Beatty's job was saved, and due to
the influence of Governor Jackson
the position held by DR.. King was
maintained. At the time of the mud
die Jackson demanded designations
Of two members Of the majority fac
ton. DIR. Homer G. Haas of Peru,
third member of the majority fac
ton, which for the time threatened
to rule affairs, resigned recently
causing control to revert back to DIR.
King.
The board voted unanimously to-
day to offer the position of labora-
tory head to DIR. ]. B. Salb of Sey-
mour. In recommending him, DIR.
King declared, "His only unpardon-
able sin is the fact that he is a
Democrat"
DR.. T. Victor Keene of Indianapo-
lis, former leader of the insurgent
faction and himself a Democrat, re-
piled, That's likely to be a very
popular utilization shortly" 1t is
understood DIR. Salb will accept the
position, relieving the Governors
son-in-law.
For the second time the board
deferred action on a request Of DR..
King that the city of Washington,
in Daviess County, be required to
install an adequate system of sew
age disposal.

OUT OF CARIBBEAN


WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-A trop-
ical hurricane out OF the Caribbean
Sea swept across Cuba and southern
Florida today. It will strike the
southern tip of Florida with high
velocity winds late today or tonight,
the United States Weather Bureau
warned.
The weather bureau observer in
Havana, Cuba. reported a wind OF
about ninety miles an hour was blow
ing there at a. M, hindering his
customary weather observations.
Hurricane warnings were ordered
hoisted at 10 a. m. from Boca Grande
and Punta Gordo. in Cuba. to West
Palm Beach, Fla, fifty miles north
Of Miami. where nearly 400 were
killed in a similar hurricane six
weeks ago.
Northeast storm warnings were
ordered from Boca Grande up the
west coast of Florida to Tampa, and
on the east coast from West Palm
Beach to Titusville.
The tropical disturbance "of great
intensity" is now near the south
coast of western Cuba, the bureau
said. 1t is moving northeast. e..
Northeast winds will increase and
reach hurricane force late this after
noon or tonight over extreme south
ern Florida" the bureau added.
The storm swerved it's course dur
ing the night, from northwest to
northeast and instead of heading
into the Gulf of Mexico through the
Yucatan channel, struck out across
Cuba. Yesterday it was about 225
miles south of western Cuba, and II
covered that distance in twenty-four
hours. At the same rate. twelve
more hours from 10 a. m. will bring
1t to the southern tip of Florida.
Weather experts said the storm
appeared not to be of such wide ex
tent as the Florida hurricane of six
weeks ago, although 1t apparently is
nearly as intense.
The Isle OF Pines, largely owned
and developed by American interests,
was directly in the path Of the
storm. About fifty miles south OF
the western part of Cuba, it prob
ably was struck by the storm early
today. No hurricane, reports have
been received from there.
