LABOR PARTY MAY
 CHANCE ITS NAME
British Political Group May Add
 Socialist" to Title

Llandudno, Wales, Aug. 27 LP- The political organization which put Ramsay Macdonald in office as prime minister has among the first of the items on it's annual confer ence Agenda constitutional amend ments which would change its of ffcal name-the labor party.
 One amendment put forward by the extreme left wing would change the name to the socialist party Moderatcs who formed the great bulk of the party's members, how ever. have an amendment which would make the official name the socialist and labor party"
 There are indications that this was the name which will be accept ed by a majority as representing the proper designation for the marriage of socialism and labor.
 Labor leaders themselves have so long used the terms socialist and laborite interchangeably that the official party approval seemed a logical consequence. Another amend ment would require all party mem bers when eligible to belong to the trade union.

TROPICAL STORM MAY STRIKE N. E,
South Atlantic Hurricane May
 Spend Force Before Arrival

Washington, Aug. 27 JP)-The tropical hurricane which had been sweeping toward the American shore from the south Atlantic was believed here early today to have shifted from it's threatening northwest path and turned almost directly north.
 Reports to the L. s. weather bu- reau last night indicated the disturb ance was about 150 miles northwest of Bermuda at 9:30 p. m. It was said to be attended by dangerous gales"
 Weather bureau officials have sent out a warning to vessels off the New England coast, where it was believed the storm might strike today. Ob- servers said however, the winds might subside before travelling that far north. The storm probably will spend it's force at sea somewhere north or northwest of Bermuda, they added.
 Officials also agreed today they knew of no human agency which could prevent the storm causing damage along the coast if it should strike there. They characterized the plan suggested by Senator Fletcher | democrat, Fla. as "nonsensical."
 Fletcher had suggested that war ships besent to the cradle of the hurricanes to bombard them out ot existence before they get started The plan, originally the idea of Prof W. L. Franklin of Lehigh university, cannot possibly york; the weather observer said.

Cost Of Improvements, Including
 Widening, to Be S5,000

Graded lawns, concrete walls. shade trees and fences will fall be- fore a street widening project on OsGood avenue which will improve the highway, extend it on both sides and eliminate several curves.
 Members of the board of com pcnsation and assessment visited the street yesterday and were in agree ment on the wisdom of the plan, involving a cost to the city of about S5,000. The street is now very mar row, but the city property extends to q width of so feet. In the years which followed development of the district, property owners planted trees. constructed fences and walls and otherwise improved the street, using city property as far as the traveled portion, They will not be entitled to damage payments for such of this work as is destroyed,

Quiet Prevails After Fatal Riot
 In Louisiana Prison Barracks

Baton Rouge, La, August 27 P@ Quiet prevailed today in the Louis jana penitentiary after the killing of Curtis Blackwell, 19, Negro pris- oner in riot precipitated by more than 25 convicts who refused to work or a private rice farm and barricaded themselves in a tempor- ary wooden cellhouse.
 Guards climbed to an adjoining roof and gained admittance to the cellhouse by breaking in through a vent opening. The convicts within hurled missiles, and the guards opened fire.
 Blackwell was fatally wounded, a coroner's report said, by John Sto- wall, Negro trusty guard, serving a life sentence for murder.
 Commenting on a rumor that the prisoners had rebelled against the quality of their food, Captain W. w. Pecue said he found no ground for complaint. He expressed the opin- ion that the men were "too lazy to work"
 No announcement was made by penitentiary officials of the out b, eak, which occurred yesterday morning, and it was not until last night that accounts of the incident were received from Parish authori- ties who offered assistance in put ting down the(disturbance.
 The use of prisoners under con- tract on the farm recently was con- demned by state senate investigat- ing committee.
