movements the marvellous grace and speed and the perfect unity of limb action combined to bring them into the general focus.
 Then suddenly they found them selves alone on thhe floor. the cyno- admiration, then small acknowledg- ments of approval, and at length a whirling, spectacular finale that brought a tremendous burst of ap- plause.
 1nstantaneously, almost. the two were the center of interest, sur rounded by an enthusiastic crowd with eager queries being fired at them from all sides. The maitre d'hotel pushed his way through the mob to where Jill stood looking rather scared and terribly excited.
 And then 1t came-as it invariably does. when least expected-the ques- tion from the house management. Would they consider an offer? The willy manager had sized up Jill's out fit and felt certain the two would jump at the offer of a nominal sal ary-say, $1O0 a week! He drew Tony aside and made his proposi- ton. Before the young man could answer, Pat Sweeney touched him on the shoulder and spoke to him in a low voice.
 Wait" he cautioned, with the wisdom of long experience. Don't tie up with anything until our job is completed. You'll be better equipped, then. to command a good salary"
 Jill Stuart was enjoying the unique experience of being the most talked to and most admired woman in the room. Men, youths and girls vied with each other in the crush to get word from her on the fascinating subject of dancing. How long had she practiced? With whom had she studied? Was she ever in Paris? |? Had she ever been on the stage? If any of her inquisitive admirers noticed the shabbiness of her dress they must have thought she wore it purposely for effect in the portray al of the Montmartre dance None of them. at any rate, seemed to give it any attention. Jill even forgot about it herself in the excitement of the moment.

STORM DIES OUT
ALONG EAST COAST

By Gne sASSUEzatEus PRESS.
NEW YORK, September 20.-The
storm that roared up from the South
like destructive lion, devouring all in
its path, had become playful lamb to-
day, disporting itself under late Sum-
mer sun.
Waves still pounded somewhat
roughly on the coast of the eastern
States. but the wind had lost its men
ace. Last night there was considerable
damage, but it was negligible in COM
parison to what was done in the Carri-
bean and across Florida. Trees and
wires were blown down, fruit crops suf-
fered some loss, small shipping was en-
dangered, several light craft being
driven ashore.
Wind Dies Away.
But today the wind had died almost
away, the sun shone warmly, and there
were scant signs in the upper Atlantic
States to remind inhabitants of the lit
tie taste they had of dying wind
which before 1t weakened had spread
desolation and death further South.
Winds ranging from 80 miles an hour
down to IS miles in protected sections
of the metropolitan district swept away
many small boats. The chief damage in
this section was along the New Jersey
coast, where seaside resorts were hard
hit.
Four deaths were attributed to the
storm in New Jersey. They were due
to falling trees or traffic accidents.
High tides invaded New York harbor,
causing readjustments of the landing
bridges at the ferry slips. The tide was
three feet above normal in the harbor.
Air Mail Delayed.
High winds delayed two sections of
the national air transport air mail at
Hadley Field and j. S. Bogart of ST.

division of the Department of Com
merce, was forced down at Wilkes
Barre, Pa, in his big Fairchild plane.

Assassins Besiege
Trotsky; Soviet Is
Deaf to His Pleas
Report Says Sharpshoot.
ers Fire Into House i'm
Turkestan.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 20.-The Daily
Mail asserted today that dramatic at
tempts had been made to kill Leon
Trotsky. once powerful as head Of the
Red armies, in his place of exile in
faraway Turkestan. The paper, dis
playing the story prominently. said the
plot was Matched in Moscow.
Moscow was stated to have admitted
that Trotsky had been shot at. but
explained it was the action of individ-
uals. Soviet authorities were greatly
perturbed by the revelations, and the
Moscow Newspaper Izvestia as stated
the authorities had dispatched a spe-
cial commission to investigate.
For three successive nights Trotsky's
cottage at Alma-Ata, Turkestan, was
asserted to have been besieged by
sharpshooters. They hid behind trees
and fired while Trotsky's son defended
the home with two sporting rifles. AL
of Trotsky's appeals for help to the
local Soviet authorities were disre-
garded.
After the sharpshooters failed to kill
the. former commissar for war, persons
described as local enemies were stated
to have blockaded Trotsky. For many
days he and his family were not allowed
to obtain food. Only the kindness of
friends saved them from starvation.
Medical assistance, lights and news
papers were also denied him.
Evidence of the plot was furnished
by Trotsky himself He eluded the
vigilance of the secret police and smug-
gled out letters to Christian Rakovsky,
former Soviet envoy to Great Britain
and now himself in exile. 1t was sug-
gested that Trotsky in smuggling the
letters was aided by Jewish Soviet Off
cials. These officials were stated to
have collected among themselves a
large sum to enable Trotsky to escape.

RED CROSS HEADS
CONFER ON APPEAL
Capitals Contribution to
Hurricane Relief Passes
$1,000 Mark.

Besieged with further appeals for inn
mediate aid from the hurricane sufferers
in Florida, Porto Rico and the Virgin
Islands. officials of the American Red
Cross went into conference here today
to discuss plans for hurrying financial
assistance to the stricken territory.
1t was likely that some definite figure
might be set as a goal toward which the
people of America might bend their eff
forts in raising the relief fund. Since
original estimates of relief needs hourly
are being revised upward. there were
indications that the goal might be fixed
at from s6.000,O0O to s10,0Oo,000.
Capital Passes $4,000 Mark.
The National Capital, always generous
in such emergencies, today had passed
the $4,000 mark in the campaign for
its tentative quota of $4,000, and
pour into the relief Golfer, presided over
by Finance Chairman Victor B. Dey-
ber. The Star has received $2,410.50,
tIlC 0LotIlCb Va SOluIliOld CiidptC1 lldc
received checks totaling 1852 and
Chairman Deyber has received $l,190.81
It was emphasized that checks for the
fund should be made out to the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Hurricane Relief Fund
Checks sent to The Star must not be
made out to The Star company or its
cashier. Contributions will be received
for the fund by the cashier Of The Star
and forwarded at once to the Red
Cross.
National headquarters of the Red
Cross was spurred in its efforts to meet
the financial demands of the emergency
by the gravity of reports received to-
day from relief workers in Porto Rico
and Florida.
The best available estimates indicate
that $4,000 people are homeless and des-.
titute in Palm Beach County, one OF
the two counties which suffered most
from the disastrous storm, A. L. Schafer,
Florida relief director, reported to Vice
Chairman Fieser.

have been established, one for 500 per-

IN DRY SQUAD RAID
Policeman w. F. Burke to Be
Charged With Assault in

The issuance of a warrant charging
Policeman William F. Burke of the
local liquor squad with assault upon
Earl E. Rickert, 2112 Eighteenth street,
was directed today by United States
District Attorney Leo A. Rover, follow
ing an investigation of the raid made
on August last at the Ambassador
Oyster House, 2106 Eighteenth street.
Mr.. Rover said he has directed As
sistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given to issue the warrant when Mr..
Rickert appears this afternoon and to
bring the case to trial promptly. Mr..
Rover fixed the pond which Burke will
be required TO furnish at $500.
The district attorney exonerated John
j. Quinn, deputy prohibition admins
traitor for the District of Columbia,
of any unlawful acts In connection with
the raid. ii s4s
Reports Evidence Conflicts.
Capt. Harold w. orcutt, assistant
district attorney. who made the iilves-
while the evidence gathered by him IS
highly conflicting, and that for this rea-
son 1t Is difficult to form deliberate
opinion as to just what took place on
these premises, the fact remains that If
Rickerts story is true Police Officer
Burke. is guilty of assault. Mr.. Rover
said Rickert SwearS that Burke kicked
him, and on this testimony Mr.. Rover
said 1t was his duty to authorize the
issuance of the warrant for assault.
Mr.. ,Orcutt's report, Mr.. Rover said,
shows that while the raid was in prog
ress large crowd congregated in front
of the Eighteenth street premises and
the agents and officers, making uncom-
plimentary remarks. Rickert admitted,
according to Mr. Rover, that he was
in the crowd. and that he passed a
remark to the officers, and alleged that
Quinn grabbed him, dragged him
through the door, threw him the length
of the room on the first floor and then
turned him over to some one else.
Rickert further charged that he was
forced upstairs, where, he said, he was
struck and beaten. Mr.. Rover said,
however, that Rickert did not charge
that Administrator Quinn struck him or
beat him, his complaint, so far as
Quinn is concerned, referring merely
to the fact Of his being taken into the
building. Rickert stated. Rover said,
