FIRST HINT OF HURRICANE CAME
SIX DAYS AGO FROM WEST INDIES
Trail Followed From Virgin Islands to
Turk Island, Nassau, Miami and Pen
sacola, Says Weather Bureau

The first intimation of the Florida
hurricane received by the Weather
Bureau. it was stated today came
last Tuesday. when hurricane CEN
ter was detected just northeast of the
Virgin Islands.
The next report was from. Turks
Island. about 100 miles north of Haiti.
where wind blowing at the rate of
100 miles an hour was reported on
Wednesday. The next report came
from Nassau in the Bahamas. where
a 50-mile- an hour wind was reported.
Then the hurricane center struck
Miami, crossed southern Florida. and
the next heard from it was in re-
ports from Pensacola early today.
The center of the hurricane appears
to be moving at from II to 13 miles
an hour. carrying with it wings of
wind moving at from 80 to 100 miles
an hour. 1t is in the territory swept

Bread lines are reported to have
formed in Miami. due to the food
shortage. while at Hollywood only
bread and water are being served in
restaurants. Relief surveys disclose
only a 30-day supply of food and water
in Miami. boarding of supplies and
profiteering have been barred by edict
of city officials.
The shortage of foodstuffs and other
necessities has led to some looting in
Miami chiefly in the negro section.
Military permits are required for the
purchase of food, water, ice and
gasoline. which are sold only in limit

With martial law in force, National
Guardsmen patrol the streets. allow

Both Miami and Miami Beach are

well abandon the reservation entirely.
If we wanted to be on an equal foot
ing with the nations which are mem
bers of the League council in the
matter of advisory opinions from the
World Court. we could Join the
League of Nations. We are not a
member Of the League nor are we
going to become member"
Senator Willis said that he had not
discussed the World Court reserva-
tions and the action of the delegate
committee In Geneva with the Presi-
dent today. No statement was made
by the President or the State Depart
ment with regard to the proposal of
the committee regarding the fifth res
ervation of the United States. The at
titude of the administration, however,
ever since the adoption of the Senate
reservations, has been that this coun-
try would adhere strictly to the reser-
vations, and that it would not under
take to interpret or amend the reser-
vations in any degree.
Was Court Advocate.
Senator Willis was one of the fore
most advocates Of American adher-
ence to the World Court during the
fight in the Senate for ratification last
Winter. His statement today that he
and other Senators would oppose the
plan put forward by the delegate COM
Inittee in Geneva is. therefore. consid
cred particularly significant. 1t is pre-
Sumed, however, that when he said
not three Senators would vote for that
plan he meant not three Republican
Senators. A considerable number of
the Democratic Senators have been
friendly to American membership in
the League of Nations itself.
The Senate would be called upon to
pass upon the Interpretation of the
fifth reservation now proposed by the
delegate committee in Geneva, Sena-
tor Willis said. In no other way could
the reservation be modified or inter
preted.
The interjection of the World Court
issue in the Senate again, particular
ly at the coming short session of Con-
gress. would be the signal for a re-
newal of the attacks made by the ir
reconcilables on the World Court.
Unless the other nations members of
the World Court are willing to ac
cept American membership on the
terms laid down by the Senate reserva-
tions. including the fifth reservation,
there is little chance of the United
States becoming member Of the
Court at present. in the opinion Of
observers here.

ILLINOIS PRIMARY
LAW IS HELD VOID
Circuit Court Declares In

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, August 1.-THE bygone
days of party conventions and party
bosses may come back to Illinois
The 16year-old direct primary law,
under which nominees for State and
local offices have been selected since
is enactment in 1910, will be thrown
into the discard if the Illinois Su-
preme Court sustains the decision of
three judges in Circuit Court at
Dixon, ILL.,, yesterday.
Holding that equal representation
In county conventions under the ex-
listing statute is impossible, Judge
William J. Emerson, sitting with two
associates, declared the primary law
Invalid and unconstitutional, and en-
Joined county officers of Lee County
from paying the salaries of election
Judges and clerks and other expenses
Incurred in the April 13 primary.
The ruling will effect the results Of
the Spring primary only in Lee
county. The chaos in party organi-
cation that would follow the final
scrapping Of the primary system was
deferred by the announcement of an
appeal to the State Supreme Court
by States Attorney Mark c. Keller of
Lee County. Almost certain war over
the makeup Of party committees,
with it's probable effect on the No
vember balloting. might be precipi-
stated by an early decision adverse to
the law. but the appeal is not likely
to be heard by the court until Oc-
tober.
The 1910. statute provided for a
party organization based upon county
conventions. at which the voting
power Of the precinct committeeman
was determined by the number Of
votes cast for governor in his pre-
cincts at the preceding general cleo
ton. Owing to a reapportionment
of Dixon City precinct, argued
George c. Dixon. attorney for a tax
payer who instituted the suit, 1t was
impossible to determine the vote to
which the re-districted committeeman
were entitled. This inequality was
held to be in violation of the consti-
tutional provision for free and equal
elections, and. because the section
was essential to the statute, the three
Judges unanimously declared the law
null and void.
