broadcast story that Gen. John j.
Pershing accidentally shot and slightly
wounded Richard p. Lydon, New York
Supreme Court justice, while hunting
grouse this Summer on the Scotland es-
tate of Bernard M. Baruch was denied

cident from two members Of the shoot
ing party. The general and the JUS
tice, he said. were in two shooting
boxes and when Pershing fired at a
grouse some of the birdshot entered
the Justices face, inf1icting slight in
juries. :
Mr.. Baruch denied the story. II
never saw a scratch on Justice Lydon's
face" he said. ITO my knowledge,
nothing of the sort happened, and as !
was host I think I should have heard
of it if it had"
Mr.. Baruch confirmed the fact that
Gen. Pershing and Justice Lydon had
been guests at the same time at
Buchanan Castle. his estate on Loch
Lomond. Gen. Pershing and Justice Ly-
don are still abroad.

PANIC HITS ISLE
FOLLOWING QUAKE
Volcanoes of HiIo, Hawaii,
Feared When Tembiors
Wreck Seismograph.

BY the Associated Press.
HILO, Island of Hawaii, September
26.-Suspense and excitement gripped
the populace of Western Hawaii today
after residents had been frightened
away from their homes by a violent
earthquake which was believed to be
the forerunner of eruptions from the
three big volcanoes nearby.
The most violent quake of a series
of about $50 temblors that had kept
the western half Of the island aquiver
for more than "a hours came shortly
after 6 o'clock last night. Walls and
buildings In various parts of the quak-
ing area fell and residents rushed from
their homes.
Shocks Ruin SeismOgraph.
So violent was the quake that the
seiSmograph at Kealakekua was ruined
It was the most severe shaking the
island has received within the men,
ory of its oldest residents.
DR.. Thomas A. Jaggar. Government
volcanologist, a few hours before the
most violent shock was felt asserted
the frequent quakes portended an
eruption of one or more of the three
large volcanoes on the western half
of Hawaii. He declared that all three,
Kilauea, Maunaloa and Hulalai, might
erupt simultaneously. The three vol
canoes stand in a straight line run
ming across the island from southeast
to northwest. At one end stands HUI
lalai. with Kilauea at the other. Be-
tween them Is Maunaloa.
Eruption to Be Expected.
Kona. the district. in which Hulalai
is located, appeared to have been shaken
more frequently than any other. Jag
gar. who has studied Hawaii's VOL
canoes for many years, said an erup-
ton, possibly on the west flank of
Hulalai, may be expected within a
month, but that the lava might reach
the surface from Maunaloa or Kilauea.
He asserted it was possible that lava
would pour from all three craters.
Earthquakes in the Kona district
are most like vibrations ending in sud-
den jolts," said DR.. Jaggar. These
cause houses to shake freely. This pos
sibly is the result of lava forcing its
way up huge crevice. 1t is altogether
possible the tremors may cease in time,
the subsequent eruptionS coming in
five years. However, this is not prob
able"

According to Father Lama, the Ba.

through a high-pressurc area which
spread over the Atlantic seaboard from
the Northeastern States yesterday anc
last night.
This high-pressure area forced thu
storm from its westerly course out tc

Airways Flying Field at Miami, which
had been brought here yesterday after
noon as precaution, were made ready

Winds of Gale Velocity Are Forecast on
Florida Coast Tonight.
MIAMI, Fla, September 26 OP.-The
coast turned with puzzled expectancy to
the eastern skies today where tropical
storm yesterday lashed the Bahamas
Islands, but had not put in its pre-
dicted appearance on the mainland.
The Washington Weather Bureau at
1890 am. issued a storm warning
stating that the disturbance had re-
manned almost stationary during the
last IL hours with its center apparently
short distance northwest of Nassau.
The bureau declared 1t was likely that
winds of hurricane force prevailed near
the center of the storm and the world
still was without word from Nassau,
which lost radio communication shortly
after noon yesterday when the storm
moved in New Providence Channel.
Gale Is Forecast.
The bureau at 10 o'clock this morn
ing issued a weather forecast for Florida
stating that winds would reach gale
force on the southeast coast tonight
and Friday
Practically stationary barometric
pressure and cloudy weather prevailed
along most of the shore line where last
nights reports said the storm likely
would strike after daylight today with
hurricane intensity.
There was no relaxation of vigilance
on the part of the inhabitants of the
area between Miami and Jupiter, out
lined last night as the probable hur-
ricane area. Houses remained boarded
up and relief units, hastily organized
on the basis of yesterdays warnings,
stood by their posts.
The Trortca' Radio Co. still was
endeavorlng to raise It's station on
That 1t was unlikely that the Nassau
station had lost its power. but that 1t
might be able to receive messages from
the outside world.
Course Uncertain.
Future course of the storm is uncer-
tain, the Weather Bureau said, but no
rapid movement In any direction was
indicated for the next "a hours.
Fort Lauderdale and Miami had the
lowest barometric presSures OF half a
dozen East Coast cities reporting this
morning, the reading at the United
States Coast Guard base at the former
place being given as 29.78 and records
OF Forecaster Richard Gray showing
$3.50 on the Miami gauge.
West Palm Beach gave the unofhcial
reading there as 1888. While the
weather was generally cloudy on the
lower. East Coast, visibility was said
to be good at Daytona Beach, st.
Augustine and other coastal cities
farther north. Rain showers were re-
ported only at Fort Lauderdale.
No lives were lost at Governors Har-
Dor, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas, which
last night experienced a "heavy hur-
ricane," according to a message re-
ceived from the island by Tropical
Radin here shortly before noon.

IMPROVED BUSINESS
AIDS STOCK MARKET
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, october 1.-THE stock
market. aided by fairly easy money
rates, a number of earning statements
of important corporations and some
directors meetings where increased
rates or stock dividends probably will
be voted, promises to be interesting this
week.
When Wall Street left for the week
end holiday the majority of traders
were In more optimistic mood than
they were at the beginning of the week.
Recalling the ease in money rates. the
drop in brokers' loans, the gain in UNI
filled steel tonnage, the improved cop
per statistics, the ending of the cigarette
price war, the dip in crude oil output
and the third highest weekly record for
car loadings, many shorts covered
fearing that constructive developments
within the next few days might bring
further market rally.
Merger developments, especially in
the natural gas, food, drug and oil in
dustries, likewise are expected to be
constructive market factors. The Street
confidently expects partial details Of
several large impending deals to be
made known early next week.
Improvement in the credit situation
may bring about a better demand for
bonds. With many security buyers now
asking How much does 1t yield" instead
of How much will it 90 up," some Of
the exchange houses who played lead
ing role In the stock market earlier in
the year now are recommending the
purchase of bonds.
New financing during the investment
bankers convention usually is relatively
inactive because large portion of the
security distribution machinery of the
United States then is engaged in trying
to solve problems which have an I'M
portant bearing on the financial future
and welfare OF this country.

with the principal operations in spe-
cialties in which favorable developments

on in business was attributed, In part.
to the observance Of the Jewish reli-

siasm. Merger and stock split-up ru-
