The tropical disturbance
which passed over the southern
coast of Haiti was proceeding
slightly south of west at an
approximate speed of Is miles
an hour, the Weather Bureau
reported today.
It was apparently. central near
the southwest coast of Jamaica,
travelling with diminished inten-

cautioned.
War Department Gets Plea
Relief aid to the extent of 5000
tents, $4,000 cots and $4,000
blankets was requested of the
War Department today by the
Puerto Rican Red Cross.
Gov. ]. r. Beverley, in wire
less message to the Bureau Of
InSular Affairs, advised the Sec

asked that the supplies be shipped
from New York by steamer today.
A hurried check of War De-

the requested articles could be
sent.

added he expected the death toll

Some aid in the way of food
will be required for a few weeks,
Beverley reported. Otherwise, i'm

care of by the Red Cross.
Incomplete estimates of the
damage in Puerto Rico we're re-

Latest advices to the Commerce
Department said that 10000
cases of grape fruit juice had

Trade Commissioner j. R. Nc
Key, at San Juan, radioed that
all coffee in the storm zone had

WRIT At TACKS
PHONE SLASH

Justice Peyton Gordon, in Dis
trict Supreme Court, today took
under advisement the petition of
the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company petition for
a temporary injunction to re-
strain the Public Utilities Com
mission putting into effect an
order reducing the phone rates
10 per cent after September 80.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion lacks jurisdiction in the case,
Attorneys Hoover, VanOrsdel and
Milne, for the company, argued.
They claimed sole jurisdiction is
vested with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The temporary injunction was
asked to postpone action on the
rate question until other related
litigation now pending has been
concluded.
The right of the utilities body
to order the reduction of rates
was defended by Peoples Counsel
Richmond B. Keech and William
Robertson.

CHARACTER Of .
SENATOR
CroSs-Quiz Moose Executive
on Discrepancies in
Previous Testimony

NEW YORK Sept. 90
U.N.S.).-John NJ. Smith, of
Rochester, member of the
supreme council Of the Loyal
Order of Moose, denied en-
phatically he had contradicted
his statements made in private
examination while testifying
today at the "lottery' trial
of Senator James j. Davis.
The Government charged that
Smith stated previous to the trial
that he did not know anything
Of the assigning of the "organtza-
ton" contract by Davis to Jo-
Seph Jenkins and Fred w. Jones.
On the witness stand, Smith
testified that Davis had dis
cuSsed his sale of the contract
before members of the supreme
council in Sharon, Pa, in Au-
gust, 1880.
Garfinckel Called
The Government read from a
stenogTaphic, but unsworn report
of the private examination Of
Smith by a member of the U. S.
Attorneys staff.
It quoted Smith as saying he
did not know of any contract
being sold by Davis for $500, 900.
The witness insisted today that
his statement in private exam1na-
ton referred only to his lgnor-
ance of the purchase price on
the contract.
d. The next defense witness was
julius Garfinckel, of Washington,
D. c. He said he was mer-
chant, director in the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Com
pany, the Riggs Bank and trus-
tee of Washington University.
Davis Claim Supported
Garfinckel testified as a char
ecter witness for the former Sec
retary of Labor and director gen.
eral of the Moose.
. Lawrence Grove, executive sec
retary of the Cleveland Moose
Lodge, testified that Joseph Jen-
kinS became head of the "organi-
zation" department in September,
1880.
This supported the claim of
Davis that he separated himself
from the department in 1880 and
was therefore not responsible for
checks traced to the department
from the two charity balls al
legged to be lotteries.

YOUNG Al SMITH
AND WIFE MAY
PATCH TIFF
Reconciliation in the Making,
Is Report, As She Denies
They Have Separated
By DOROTHY DUCAs

NEW YORK, Sept. %
(I.N.S.).-The marital difficul,
ties of the Alfred E. Smith, jrs.,
may be ironed out, after all.
The former governors eld-
est son and his wife, who was
Miss Bertha Gott, of Syracuse,
instead of seeking a legal
separation, as has been re-
ported, are attempting a
reconciliation, it appeared to-
day.
Mrs. Smith, before departing
for an unnamed destination
where it is believed a meeting
with her husband had been
arranged, issued 'an exclusive
statement to International News
Service, denying she and young
Smith had separated.
Separation Denied
Rumors of the rift became
known when Smith, jr., wrote
several department stores here
that he would not be responsible
for his wife's debts.
Mrs. Smith said:
81 have been i'll. I have been
away from home in the hos
pital a good deal and am still
in poor health. But Mr.. Smith
and 1 have not separated. It's
all untrue"
Mrs. Smith, who will be 2e
Saturday, said she and hel
parents-in-law are on the friend
liest of terms. Last June, when
she was operated on at st. Vim
cents Hospital, the Smith family
physician, DR.. Raymond T. Sui
livan, was in attendance. The
former governor and his wife
were frequent callers.
After a long recuperation, Mrs
Smith only a few weeks ago suf.
fered a heart attack.
Pact of Peace Forecast
News of the possible separation
brought no statement from young
AL Smith, who has also left the
, city for an unrevealed deStina,
ton. 1t is believed the two, who
had been married eight years,
will meet at a nearby resort to
talk over their future, and friends
feel confident some pact of peace
will be made.
The Smiths at no time have
considered a divorce, since the
Roman Catholic Church, of which
both are members, does not recog-
niZe divorce.
The former governor is believed
to have been grieved by reports
of his eldest sons marriage diff.
cultieS, but he has made no public
mention of the situation.

ond thought maybe we'd better
make that "diSporting himself
with ease"
Fooled by Shadows
The Cubs, badly bewildered
yesterday by the shadows from
the gaunt, towering stands, ex-
pected to handle the situation
with more aplomb this after
noon. They have behind them
the experience of yesterday and
before them the comforting
thought that the Yankees are
not going to like Wrigley Field
for the third, fourth, and fifth
games any more than they, the
Cubs, have liked the stadium.
In anticipation of GomeZ'S ap-
pearance in the box, Jake May
worked on the Cub batters dur
ing the hitting drill.
The Cubs introduced Demaree
in center field in place of Moore.
JurgeS was at ShortStop when the
Cubs went to take their fielding
practice at, o'clock, clearly in
dicating that Koenig was not
available.
Old Time Atmosphere
Both Moore and Demaree prac-
ticed in center field, awaiting the
moment when Mccarthy would
send his official pitcher out to
warm up.
At this hour the bleachers were
almost entirely filled, with a con-
tinuouS stream of humanity filing
in through the gates. It was a
real, old-time atmosphere of a
world series today, making yeSter-
days drab performance seem all
the more empty and inSipid.
1t seems also worthy of men
tion that Managers Mccarthy and
Grimm, once teammates, now
rivals, but always friends, have
arrived at a startling conclusion
After pondering the matter very
deeply. they agreed that the Cubs
would do better today.
Grimm Voices Confidence
Grimm said:
Zone game doesn't win a
series from the Cubs. It looks
big now, but it will dwindIe to
nothing when we jump the
train tOAight with the series
all even. Wen win with
Warneke this afternoon. Then
we'll take them on to Chicago,
where they won't like our ball
park any more than we liked
theirs yesterd day. Those
shadows from the tall stands
in back of the plate had us
almost crazy. Well be more
accustomed to them by this
afternoon. Watch and See."
