to stricken Miami to combat the
menace of epidemics, according to
a message to the Navy Department
today from the base commandant.
A Coast Guard patrol boat, carry
ing tents, food and water, also has
been dispatched to the relief Of a
party of so persons reported
marooned off Mans River and suf'
fering from exposure.
The Coast Guard cutter Saukee,
which has rendered yeoman service
in the relief work around Miami,
has gone ashore outside the harbor,
but is expected to be floated at
high tide today.
Three thousand people are abso-
1utely destitute at Miami, the Navy
dispatch said. and another 5000 are
being housed in emergency make
shifts. The bread supply of the
city was reported insufficient to
meet the demand. and there Is also
some worry over the water supply.

Reports gathered by Interna-

Gated that the death toll ulti-
mately will approximate 450.

up their secrets, but it is be-
lieved the final count will be

probably total $500 and the home
less $4,000.
Gulf Coast Tragedies
On the Gulf Coast there were
probably twenty deaths, according
to all reports. Three OF these were
reported from Pensacola, in the
that storm-gripped port.
There were others reported from
isolated communities in Alabama
and Mississippi.
The property damage, even yet.
can only be estimated, but it seemed
certain this morning that the orig
inal estimates are but little If any
too high, all things" considered.
The state Of Florida probably has
suffered $3.50, 100000, the Gulf Coast
less than a third OF that.
The chief problem of relief today
centered in getting the destitute on
their feet again, and in restoring
sanitary services.
Meanwhile, the American people
continued to pour thousands Of dol
lars into the maternal lap Of the
American Red Cross to procute the
work of rehabilitation and relief.

the terrific storm, wirelessed the
Algiers Naval Radio Station that
three persons were killed, many In

This was the third message to be
received from Pensacola by radio
in "a hours. Late yesterday the
Naval Air Station sent a wireless to
the effect that great porperty dam

cutter Tallapoosa said the gale had
damaged many ships.
Two foreign ships, unnamed
broke both their moorings and went
aground, the Tallapoosa wirelessed.
Many small craft were reported
sunk. Santa Rosa Island acted as
natural breakwater while the
storm ragged for two days.
The air station suffered some
damage from the storm, accounting
for its long silence. However, it is

TRIAL Of HALL
CASE IS ASKED

diately, the Rev. j. Mervin Petit,
the murdered DIR. Halls successor
as rector of the Episcopal church
of st. John the Evangelist, New
Brunswick, was being grilled for
two hours by Inspector John J..
Underwood at state police head
quarters in Somerville, N. J.
DR.. Petit was questioned con-
cerning his actions on September 8
last, when Ralph v. Gorsline,
church vestryman, and Miss Kath-
crime Rastall, choir singer, were
quizzed on their presence in De-
Russey's lane, near the murder
scene, on the night four years ago
when DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills were
slain.
On the afternoon of September
9 detectives were taking Gorsline
from Somerville to New Bruins
wick to cover the murder scene
with them. In the meantime Miss
Rastall had been notified to go to
Somerville.
AS the officers and Gorsline drove
over River Road they saw two
parked cars. One of them con-
tanned DR.. Petit and Miss Rastall.
The other was the auto of Timothy
N. Pfeiffer, one of the principal
attorneys for Mrs. Hall and her
relatives.
Pfeiffer and Miss Rastall were
in deep conversation.
Advised Miss Rastau
1t developed in the questioning
Of the minister that Miss Rastall
had called him when she was first
summoned to headquarters, that he
had taken her to the New Bruins
wick office of Russell e. Watson,
another defense attorney, and that
there an arrangement was made
for them to meet Pfieffer en- route
to Somerville.
Asked why he had taken Miss
Rastall, a States witness, to a de-
fense attorney, DR.. Petit replied:
'Ft never occurred to me that 1t
was a defense attorney. I merely
thought she should have legal ad-
vice"
What did Pfeiffer say to herr"
Underwood demanded.
HE merely repeated what had
admonished her" the rector said.
"TIe told her to tell the truth"
When DR.. Petit left headquarters
he said to reporters:
IT told Inspector Underwood I
believed both Gorsline and Miss
Rastall had told all they knew"
Simpson, at Jersey City, after
talking by telephone to Underwood,
commented harshIy on the clergy.
mans conduct.
"What is the purpose Of a min.
lister of the gospel asking for divine
guidance for the defense in a re-
cent church service?" he asked. els
it an attempt to break the States
case?
"I believe 1t Is because the de-
fense attorneys know that GOrsline
has not told all"
Simpsons ultimatum to Gorsline
to tell the truth or be indicted for
perjury went unheeded by the
vestryman. The prosecutor thinks
this attitude is due to GOrsline's
belief that the September grand
jury, sworn in yesterday at Somer-
vile, is not likely to indict him.
While DR.. Petit was being ques-
toned at Somerville, Mrs. Hall paid
a surprise visit to the Somerset
county Jail. She talked to Willie
and Henry Stevens, her brothers,

PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD

It is well to keep in mind at the
beginning that Thanksgiving Is COM
ing. The assorted appetizers served
at Thursdays dinner should be
planned carefully and supplies laid in
if necessary. One combination might
be as follows:
Smoked salmon slices.
Shredded cabbage, with mayonnaise.
Stuffed olives.
Tiny brown bread sandwiches filled
with chopped nuts.
The conventional cranberry Jelly Is
changed to cranberry ice. The fash
ion of serving an ice between courses
of q more or less naughty dinner has
always been a popular one, and for q
dinner of this type it is desirable.
While cold turkey Is served at the
next days dinner, turkey soup has not
been used. Housewives differ as to
this point. The rather strong flavor
of a turkey soup makes it not a very
appetizing dish and some prefer to
plan other uses for the leftover tur-
key.
1t is suggested that turkey stufflng
be made either with oysters or chest
nuts if an appetizing variation OF the
old.time plain stuffing is desired.
The vegetable part Of the diet is
somewhat varied by featuring nut
loaf instead Of meat, and also various
forms of cheese dishes.
The conventional vegetable plate
can be the most unappetizing thing In
the world, and the wise housewife
