Well after all it looks as if the
new reallocation order might work
at that and receiving will again be
a pleasure after a lull of a few days.

port, since Sunday and wonder why
the station does not broadcast dur
ing the evenings. Well, by order of
the radio commission its broadcasts
are limited and it is compelled to
sign off at 6:15 every evening. AS
the days grow shorter the time limit
will suffer as the station can broad
cast only one hour and half after
sunset. Then as days grow longer.
so the limit will benefit. unless
something unforeseen happens in
the meantime and the station be
allowed to send its programs during
the evening hours. The present time
limit of course cuts the station off
the Columbia system.

pioneer days of broadcasting, will

Can you tell us the names Of any
men she was in the habit OF going

When the woman had been

her as to her actions during the
afternoon, and learned that she had
gone out at about four to do some
shopping, and had returned about
half past five.

"No, sir" was the prompt an

"Now," continued Markham,
could any one have been hidden in
this apartment when you went
home at seven?"
The maid was frankly astonished,
and even a little Mortified.
where could any one hide?" she
asked, looking round the apartment.
There are several possible places,
Markham suggested: "in the bath
room, in one OF the clothes closets,
under the bed, behind the window

lunch, and he was with her in the
other room.
"They didn't hear me, because the
portieres were drawn. He was de-
handing money, and when she tried
to put him off, he began threaten

And she said something that
showed she'd given him money be-
fore. I made a noise and then they
stopped arguing; and pretty soon he
went out"
What did this man look like?"
Markham's interest was reviving.
"He was kind Of thin-not very
tall-and To say he was around 80.
HE had a hard face-good-look-
ing, some would say-and pale blue
eyes that gave you the shivers.
He always wore his hair creased
back, and he had a little yellow
mustache pointed at the ends"
"Ah!" said Vance. Our gigolo!"
Has this man been here since?"
asked Markham.

was hiding in the closet, he didn't
ransack it when he came out, like
he did all the rest of the apart

Sergeant" said Vance, you've
put your finger on the crux Of the
matter.
Y know, the neat, undisturbed
aspect of that closet rather
suggests that the crude person who
rifled these charming rooms omitted
to give it his attention, because
it was locked on the inside and he
couldn't open it,"

Bringing with them tale of horrors
far worse than those which followed
any other disaster in the history of
this country, three men from the midst
of the Florida storm area, one of them
Washington resident. conferred with
Chairman John Barton Payne of the
National Red Cross today in an effort
to get across" full appreciation of
the actual extent of suffering in Palm
Beach County.
The visitors from the storm region
are Cooper c. Lightbown, former
mayor of Palm Beach and a resident
of this city: Howard w. Selby, chair
man of the Palm Beach County Red
Cross Chapter. and w. A. Payne, man
aging editor of the Palm Beach Post.
Money Declared insufficient.
Mr.. Selby said he discussed the need
of money with Judge Payne, and de-
clared that the sum of $4,000 900, fixed
as the absolute minimum needed by
the Red Cross, would not be half enough
to care for the sufferers in Florida
alone. It is impossible at this time
he asserted, to tell how much money
must be had in Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands where damage from the
storm is probably greater than in
Florida.

increase the amount of the relief fund.
but he intimated that this will have to
be done if Palm Beach County is to
be put back on its feet.
Red Cross officials are. trying to ar
range for the three conference with
President Coolidge this afternoon so
that they may describe to him the true
conditions in Florida.
It is feared that the people of the
country may not appreciate the full
seriousness of conditions in Florida and,
consequently. may fall short of contrib
uting enough money to rehabilitate the
stricken people.
1000 Bodies Disposed OF.
Mr.. Lightbown, who lives here at
48O3 Colorado avenue, said more than
1000 bodies have been disposed of and
that more are being found each day.
Many, he said, will never be found.
To prevent the spread of peStilence,

teI!o Charge of Interior
ence With Speech.

The static of hurled accusations and
determined denialS filled the air today
between local Democratic headquarters
and the Navy Department as the out
growth of the tangling of wave lengths
locally during the broadcasting of Gov.
Smiths speech Monday night.
John F. Costello, Democratic national
committeeman for the District issued
a statement today declaring that

of undue and fragrant interference" but
the commander himself told The Star
he had admitted nothing of the kind
and that the whole affair was TEN

Ashly Explains Report.
Costello previously had charged de-
liberate interference by the naval radio
station NAA, intimating that the sta
ton ruined" the reception of Gov.
Smiths speech here because the Demo-
cratic candidate was attacking the Re-
publican administration.
Comdr Ashley explained that NAA
merely followed its customary procedure
Of broadcasting the weather report for
the Department of Agriculture at five
minutes after 10 o'clock Monday night,
using wave length of 600 kilocycles
as usual. WOR. in Newark, at the
same time was broadcasting Smiths
address on a wave length of ITO kilo-
cycles.

1.-THE weather report lasted only six
minutes" Comdr. Ashley said, land any
one with a good, reasonable selective
radio set could have heard the Newark
station without difficulty Persons near
the navy yard, where the navy station
is located, might have had trouble with
non-selective sets. When the weather
report was over we resumed routine
radio traffic. communicating with Rear
Admiral Wiley, aboard the Texas, off
the Virginia Capes.
1.-The communication with Admiral
Wiley was conducted on a wave length
of 355 cycles, in accordance with regu-
lar practice. It will be seen that this
wave is exactly half of that used by
,yOR, and 1t was therefore a most I'M
fortunate coincidence that the first har-
monte of our wave conceded with the
Newark broadcaSting. We had no means
of knowing this in advance, and all we
can say is that we are profoundly sorry"

Costello charged To-Day tnaC COmur.
Ashley, as radio expert, should have
known there would be interference.

the wave length used in speech which
was to expose and tell the truth about

Costello also charged that the naval
station unduly prolonged the weather

young girl, who came to their head
quarters in Palm Beach seeking a
four -year-o brother. who, she feared.
had been drowned. Other members of
the family we're safe, she believed. She
was taken to the morgue, where the
body of the boy, together with those of
the mother and father, two sisters and
two other brothers were found.
If the storm had struck Washington
with the same force it struck Palm
Beach County. the loss here, based on
comparative populations. would be U.s.
900 dead and property damage reaching
to the $250,000,000 mark, Mr.. Selby
said.
The total sum raised over the coun-
try for the relief fund was believed
today to be a little in excess of $4,000
600. The total reported by Victor B:
Deyber, chairman of the relief fund
961.70. This did not include several
hundred dollars received by the cashier
of The Evening Star The largest sin
gle contribution, $2,470, came from the
Rotary Club

RASKOB SEES rs
STATES FOR SMITH
Bases Claim on La Toilette Davis
Combined Vote for Four
Years Ago.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 26.-Chair-
man John ]. Raskob of the Democratic
national committee predicted today
that Gov. Smith will carry 26 States
In which four years ago the combined
Davis-La Toilette vote exceeded that
polled by President Coolidge. He added
that these do not include MaSsachu-
sets, Connecticut, Rhode Island and
New Jersey, from which he said ia
vorable" reports already have been re-
ceiyed.
Raskob said that the total electoral
votes in the rs States referred to Is
235. Adding New York's electoral vote
alone the total is $50. the number re-
CURED for election being 266.
Raskob made this announcement
after r..ceiving a telegram from Fred
w. Johnson, Democratic manager at
Salt Lake City. declaring that Utah
certainly would go for Smith. This and
other reports received from States in
which La Toilette polled substantial
| vote at the last election are the basis
Of the prediction.
Asked about reports that prominent
Democrats have appealed to her supe-
riors to have Mrs. Mabel Walker WILLIE
! brandt, Assistant Attorney General
withdrawn as Republican speaker. Mr.
Raskob said smilingly, why should any
Democrat do that?"
