SAN FRANCISCO, July g. More
homes in. the vicinity of Mill Valley
were endangered today by a fire which
already had reduced to ashes a part Of
the picturesque little city across the bay
from San Francisco. Flying eIAbers
started new fires among the homes of
Cascade Canyon, on the slope of Mount
Tamalpais, along Corte MADEIRA Ridge,
west of the canyon.
New estimates indicated that more
than 100 homes had been damaged or
destroyed and that the loss would be
considerably in excess of $1,000, ,000
Despite the continued effort of some
5000 men to curb the blaze, citizens
feared that the wind, which blew the
flames away from the town early today,
might change direction and drive the
confiagration back through Blythedale
Canyon. which was hard hit yesterday.

Mill Valleys water supply was re-

President Ceases
Handshaking Until
Weather Gets Cool
Remodeling of White
House and Summer Heat
Given as Reasons.

After today, when President Hoover
shook hands with TIA visitors. the
President will discontinue the Gus
tom of shaking hands with the
general public for the Summer, 1t was
announced at the White House. 1t was
explained, however, that the President
will resume the practice about the mid
die of September.
The reason for the discontinuance OF
this weekly practice is twofold.. In the
first place. within q few days the work
of remodeling the, main floor OF the
White House executives ofnces Will
begin and this will make it inconven-
lent to admit large numbers OF persons.
The second reason is the heat OF the
Summer. On one or two occasions re-
Gently women have tainted while wait
ing in the sun outside the PRESIDENTS
office.
When the handshaking is resumed
in September when 1t is cooler visitors
win be received on one day a week
as at present.
The number of persons with whom
the President has shaken hands on the
regular reception day, Wednesday, has
ranged recently from 500 to 1,100. One
day last April he shook hands with
more than 1,700 persons. Only per-
sons having letters of introduction
from Representatives or Senators are
admitted on these occasions.
The rule against handshaking for
the Summer, it was announced. is in
tended both for the protection of the
President and the public. The strain
on the President of shaking hands with
hundreds. Of persons, especially In the
hot days, has been severe. Ordinarily
he shakes hands with about 40 persons
a minute.

sale. was found early yesterday morning
in his car in a quiet street in Nutiey,
calmly reading newspaper account OF
his mysterious disappearance.
In a statement to police he told OF
being kidnapped by three men, who, ne
said, he learned were beer runners and
gunmen from Chicago and held in a
house somewhere near Garfield, Bergen
County.
The incident Of the kidnapping was
corroborated by three witnesses who
said they attached no importance to 1t
at the time. Mrs Marina Richardson
of Clifton and Misses Mildred and Tes-
sic Baker, sisters described the scene as
told by Elliott.
Monday night, Elliott said, he was
blindfolded and taken to road in Nut
ley, where he was placed in his auto
mobile and told not to move for 10
minutes. In return for their kindness,
Elliott told police, he promised to make
no statement until Tuesday morning.

day asked Elliott to confer with them
with a view TO again taking UP his
duties as vice president of the bank.
Meanwhile. State bank examiners sent
queries to all depositors, noteholders
and others doing business with the
company in an effort to uncover some
motive for the kidnapping. Elliott
maintained his belief that his abduc-
ton was caused by some one wishing
to make an advantageous business deal
during his absence, which his presence
might have thwarted.
